Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Susan originally did not want to hear the gossip about the Zhong family, but she could not resist Ou Yaruo, the artistic director of E-shine and Susan's best friend, who happened to be the fiancée engaged to the second son of the Zhong family!

Originally, Ou Yaruo had to deal with jewelry for two dramas, but she couldn't stand Zhong Wei's unruly behavior. It would have been fine if he had an illegitimate child who was only two or three months younger than Zhong Tianqi, but he also took his anger out on the mistress and her son because of Mrs. Zhong's death. He even made the mistress's child take his mother's surname from beginning to end. After the mistress's mother passed away, he cut off the living expenses, forcing a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child to make money by fighting underground boxing after the money left by his mother was used up.

Later, if Zhong Wei's married sister Zhong Hua had not accidentally met a poor little nephew who looked 50% like Zhong Wei, and took the child away to raise and educate him, the child would have probably become a social outcast!

Zhong Tianqi would never say these things out loud, even if he didn't care about Zhong Wei's face at all, he would never tell Susan. But as a close friend, Ou Yaruo had no scruples. She just regarded it as ordinary gossip. After all, Zhong Wei was nominally her father-in-law, and in fact nothing could hinder her.

"…The younger brother is called Han Zhiyi. He debuted as a star in Thailand. I guess it's because the chairman's genes lowered his mother's appearance. Han Zhiyi's appearance is one level lower than that of Tianqi and the general manager. Otherwise, I would have wanted to squeeze him into our project just because he doesn't like the chairman."

Susan was speechless. "Before the dust settles, you, a sister-in-law who hasn't even married into the family yet, shouldn't interfere in the affairs between the brothers."

Ou Yaruo was lying on the sofa, eating her ice cream bit by bit, and she said, "I can't help it. As a woman, I really despise the chairman's behavior."

Her attitude now is still relatively polite, because Zhong Wei is her future father-in-law. If it were someone she didn't know, she would have cursed him countless times behind his back.

Susan heard her calling him chairman all the time and not even uncle, so she didn't bother to care. If she encountered the Zhong family's affairs, if she knew Mrs. Zhong or Han Zhiyi's mother, she would suggest that they teach Zhong Wei a lesson he would never forget. How could he have the time to vent his anger on outsiders after disappointing his wife and children?

However, seeing Ou Yaruo's relaxed look now, Susan couldn't help but laugh and said, "In the past, when I saw you dealing with emotional matters, especially when facing a man who liked you, you always couldn't help but put up a little thorn, wanting to make the other party retreat, and hoping that the other party could see your fragile heart under the thorn."

"I'm always worried that if one day you really fall in love with someone, but for one reason or another you can't be together forever, you will be hurt in the relationship and never recover."

"Now it's all right. Originally, I was a little pessimistic about you and Zhong Tianqi because you two don't look like the type of people who would compromise for love, but I didn't expect Zhong Tianqi to take the initiative to give in."

"They say loving someone is like raising flowers. I see you are finally not so tense anymore. I am really happy for you."

It was rare for Ou Yaruo to show some shy little girl attitude.

At the beginning, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su taught her many things personally, but for some things, just listening and understanding is not enough. One must experience it personally and have a personal understanding to understand it completely.

However, when talking about Zhong Tianqi's change, Ou Yaruo felt that she had to praise Zhong Tianjun: "That's because Tianqi has a good brother named Zhong Tianjun. Tianjun not only helped the chairman to take on the affairs of the group early on, but also worried a lot about Tianqi's growth and career. Tianqi's progress in his relationship was all thanks to the constant advice of Tianjun, his brother."

Speaking of this, Ou Yaruo recalled the first time they worked together more than three years ago. At that time, E-shine was facing internal and external troubles. "... At that time, Tianjun took out his aunt's collection for auction. Seeing that the company was facing the danger of changing owners, Tianqi was obsessed with his aunt's collection and actually snatched the auction items at the auction that year, which affected the credit and reputation of Zhong's company."

"And I, the girlfriend who didn't tip him off in advance and even went along with the chairman, instantly became his enemy, and we almost broke up."

"It was precisely because I was too disappointed with Tianqi that I had a way to break the impasse, but I never thought of using it. It just so happened that we had to work with Universal Group and your cousin to create a new promotional strategy, so I unilaterally went into a cold war with Tianqi."

"Later, we almost broke up, but Tianjun noticed that there was a problem in the relationship between Tianqi and me. He pulled Tianjun over and gave him a good lecture, stopped Tianqi's racing career, and brought someone to work in the company. That's when Tianqi changed his mind."

"Since then, Tianqi has finally corrected his self-righteous faults, sincerely admitted his mistakes to me, and promised to learn to respect and understand. I saw his and Tianjun's sincerity, and took advantage of the TV series' popularity and sales to forgive him."

Susan had no idea that this was going on. She immediately felt distressed and guilty as she put her hand on the back of Ou Yaruo's hand and tried to comfort her silently. "I'm sorry, Yaruo. Although I noticed that you seemed to be troubled at the time, I just thought you were worried about the final publicity effect. I didn't know that there were emotional problems involved—"

Ou Yaruo held Susan's hand with her backhand, looking touched, "It's okay, it's hard to talk about this kind of emotional matter, and talking about it will only add to your troubles."

"Besides, I was already prepared to break up with Tianqi at that time. In fact, from the beginning of our relationship, I felt that we would not be able to make it to the end because there was always something we could not compromise on, and this thing might just be the factor that would seriously affect the harmony of our relationship."

Speaking of which, Ou Yaruo was really grateful to her uncle Zhong Tianjun. Now in her heart, Zhong Tianjun was a perfect guy without any shortcomings. He was so perfect that she wanted to introduce him to Susan.

So Ou Yaru took this opportunity to talk about Zhong Tianjun. She carefully tried to test him, "I think Tianqi and I are so lucky to have Tianjun as our brother. As a man, he never simply and crudely attributes the relationship problems between men and women to the women. Instead, he first considers what Tianqi did wrong and what needs to be improved."

“I think this is really rare!”

After listening to Ou Yaruo's story, Susan also felt that Zhong Tianjun was a good person. "If Zhong Tianjun is really as you said, then it is indeed very rare."
