Chapter 1 Encounter 1
Taiwan.
Taipei Star Hotel.
As Taiwan's famous top luxury hotel, Jewel Hotel has always been a favorite high-end meeting place for business people. This 36-story European classical-style building is located in the most prosperous prime business district in Taipei.
The casual tea restaurant located on the top floor of the Star Hotel is even more unique.
The interior of the restaurant is based on white, and the four walls are long floor-to-ceiling windows. In every corner of the space, sunlight can flow freely. Arat purple crystal chandelier hangs from the top, and the light makes people suddenly fall into heaven.
The exquisite and unique design here corresponds to the splendor of the hotel itself, and is more like a clean and beautiful open-air church.
The elegant environment and perfect and thoughtful service make many wealthy and aristocratic people like to come here to drink afternoon tea and spend time.
It was dusk at this moment, and there were only a few customers in the restaurant. The already spacious environment seemed even more empty. Even the huge and gorgeous white piano in the corner shone with a lonely luster.
However, on the seat opposite the piano, there was a tall and handsome figure. The sitting posture of that body showed a bit of elegance and a bit of laziness.
A pair of deep eyes stared out the window, and the silhouette of a young and handsome man was reflected on the glass.
The faint afterglow of the setting sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Under the hazy golden light, this silhouette becomes more and more beautiful, but it also makes people feel a little lonely for no reason.
"Mr. Song, do you need any more service?" The restaurant waiter in a black and white suit asked politely while holding a plate.
"No, thank you." The handsome man responded calmly.
I saw that he was supporting his graceful chin with one hand, and his face was as calm as water, unfazed.
Almost everyone in this restaurant knows him, because he often stays here for an afternoon, and sometimes even an evening. But the more important reason is that he is now known to everyone in Taiwan.
The president of Yao Group - Song Danping, known as the myth of the business world.
Yanyao Group, now one of the largest financial groups in Taiwan, was founded five years ago by him.
Under his leadership, its development speed is astonishing. In less than five years since its listing, it has jumped into the top ten most powerful groups in Asia and ranked among the best. This result is really shocking.
Many family businesses that have been standing in Taiwan for hundreds of years are raising eyebrows.
Song Danping became the youngest and most legendary leader in Taiwan's business history. His name became a myth in the eyes of the Taiwanese people overnight.
And his actions are always unexpected. Others are racing against time and working hard for their own fortunes, but he looks so leisurely, as if he has 72 hours in a day.
Song Danping lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. Is this really so?
His real life -
There are endless official documents to be processed, endless meetings, endless cocktail parties and banquets...
In a business society, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
No matter how miraculous the outside world preaches him, and how easy everything he gets today in the eyes of others, only he knows best in his heart - what price he paid and what he sacrificed
In exchange, if he could choose, he would rather...
But there are no ifs in life, and there is no choice in destiny.
He closed his eyes and covered his dark, night-like eyes with his long, thick eyelashes.
The desolation in my heart surged out uncontrollably again.
What is lost is destined to never be recovered...
If a person wants to get something, he must first give something.
And when he opened his eyes again, all the unknown emotions just now were perfectly hidden.
It's time to get back to work!
He stood up calmly. Just before he was about to leave, he saw two graceful figures, one red and one white, walking out of the elevator, walking towards the huge white piano opposite him...
Is there a new pianist here? But they usually don’t perform until evening!
