Chapter 1216 Change
"How could she possibly go to see the two of you?" Zhou Yiming asked tentatively, still somewhat disbelieving.

"Then what's the deal with you setting up a studio for someone?" Lin Hao asked at this moment.

"What does this mean?" Zhou Yiming felt a little panicked; this was solid evidence.

"Let's put it aside for now!" Lin Hao said calmly.

"No, she really went to see you two?" Zhou Yiming sat up straight and asked solemnly.

"Let's put it on hold for now!" Jia Kuan also said.

"Why should we put it off?" Zhou Yiming asked, puzzled. His business with Huizi wasn't interfering with theirs, so why should he put it off?

"We'd like to ask you why?" Lin Hao glanced at Zhou Yiming and said irritably.

"I really wanted to help her fulfill her dream, I did nothing wrong!" Zhou Yiming said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao said earnestly, "It seems you haven't grasped the needs of your target customers at all!"

"How could I not understand!" Zhou Yiming said confidently, "That's exactly what she needs, okay?"

Looking at Zhou Yiming's confident assertion, and recalling Huizi's words from yesterday, Jia Kuan also said:
"Is it possible that this isn't what they really wanted?"

"Then tell me, what does she really want?" Zhou Yiming asked back with amusement.

"Yiming, I'm being serious!" Lin Hao said earnestly at this moment:

"That young girl genuinely wants a long-term relationship with you, the kind who wants to serve you until you leave. But the information you've gleaned from her shows a complete lack of consideration for the future, only focusing on the present."

"I understand!" Zhou Yiming said somewhat angrily.

"She didn't come to me to talk to me, but instead came to both of you to talk about this. Don't you think that the communication cost is too high!"

"We're brothers, so I won't beat around the bush with you!" Lin Hao wiped the sweat from his brow and said solemnly.

"When we were drinking at the tennis court last time, I knew you were worried about your future with Huizi, and you even asked me about it, right?"

"I can tell that you actually want to continue the relationship with Huizi, but some things have made you hesitant about marriage and your future together!"

"On the one hand, you are extremely passionate in matters of the heart, but on the other hand, you are extremely stingy when it comes to marriage, fearing that you will fall into a bottomless abyss!"

"We've been brothers for a while now. If you trust us, feel free to tell us your concerns. Maybe we brothers can help you!"

In the steamy sauna, large beads of sweat streamed down Zhou Yiming's temples. At this moment, Zhou Yiming felt uneasy, as if he had been thoroughly analyzed and had no secrets left to him.

But deep down, he felt that his own brothers understood him best, which made Zhou Yiming extremely conflicted about whether or not to be honest with them.

At this moment, Lin Hao also saw Zhou Yiming's concerns. Even with the closest relationship, the possibility of him revealing his past humiliations was probably slim.

Lin Hao, who had actually watched the original series, knew why Zhou Yiming was so afraid of marriage and unwilling to make a marriage commitment to Huizi.

When Zhou Yiming was starting his business at Milijian, he met Kang Ru, an investment company employee, and subsequently fell in love with her and began to pursue her relentlessly.

Kang Ru was pregnant out of wedlock when Zhou Yiming was pursuing her, and he didn't even care that she was pregnant out of wedlock.

Of course, whether he genuinely didn't care at the time or was doing it to gain an entrepreneurial opportunity is unknown. In any case, he agreed to marry Kang Ru and become the father of their unborn child.

This experience became a deep-seated secret and shame for Zhou Yiming, who feared losing everything he had if it were exposed.

After Zhou Yiming started dating Huizi, he fell in love with her from the bottom of his heart. However, because of Kang Ru, he was afraid of suffering another emotional setback. He also tried to make up for his inability to give Huizi a marriage with money, so he sent her flowers, VIP tickets, booked restaurants, and even wanted to open a personal studio for her.

However, these material compensations made Huizi feel that love had been "materialized." What she longed for was an equal romantic relationship, not the feeling of being "kept."

Not long after, when Kang Ru returned to China with her child Amy, Zhou Yiming's fear reached its peak.

He was afraid of his secret being exposed, afraid of losing his career and status, and even more afraid of losing his dignity in front of Hui Zi, so he had no choice but to run away.

This is also why Zhou Yiming both longed for and feared marriage and love, and why he and Huizi never ended up together.

So when Zhou Yiming was struggling with his decision, Lin Hao didn't hesitate to use his skills to guide him to let go of his worries and bravely express his reasons.

Unfortunately, if Lin Hao doesn't intervene forcefully, things will continue to unfold according to the original plot.

Finally, he was humiliated by Kang Ru again, which ruined his relationship and career, and he almost had a self-destructive breakdown.

At this moment, Zhou Yiming's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and finally, under the heat of the sauna and the silent gaze of his brothers, he hoarsely began to recount that shameful history.

It tells the story of how he met Kang Ru that winter in America and the difficulties he was facing in his career at the time.

Kang Ru also desperately needs to find a nominal legal father for her child to avoid bringing shame to her family, and she also needs to deal with the cold agreement that changed the course of her life.

Zhou Yiming described how "Sail" was incubated and grew from the resources that slipped through Kang Ru's fingers, and also described the ever-present sense of shame.

"Do you know how I felt every time I heard Kang Ru say contemptuously, 'Without me, what are you?'" Zhou Yiming said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"If you hadn't been abroad back then and had met me while I was pregnant, I bet you'd still be working as a salesperson at some small stock exchange!"

At this point, Zhou Yiming abruptly wiped the sweat from his face, his eyes filled with humiliation and helplessness as he said:

"Do you really think 'Sail' is mine now? It's nothing but a donkey dung ball, all show and no substance!"

"The initial startup capital, key connections, and even the unicorn companies the company invested in all bear the shadow of her and the forces behind her!"

"She is the real boss of the Sail Company, and she holds everything I have in her hands."

When Zhou Yiming said this, it was as if a dull knife was repeatedly cutting at his self-esteem.

"Sail" is the culmination of half my life's struggle, and also the greatest cage she has imprisoned me in; I can neither leave nor shake her off! How can I, in this state, offer Huizi a future? How can I promise her marriage?"

"I'm just a... a puppet on a leash!" Zhou Yiming's voice was filled with despair, and the words squeezed out between his teeth were filled with hatred. "Holy crap!" Jia Kuan was stunned, and slapped his thigh, exclaiming:
"This woman is too damn ruthless! She's going to drain you dry! Yiming, this is unbelievable!"

"Understood!" Lin Hao's voice was unusually calm, not dwelling on the emotional details between Zhou Yiming and Kang Ru, but going straight to the core of the problem:
"So, the root of your fear is not lingering feelings for your ex-wife, but rather your lack of confidence when facing Huizi after losing your successful career!"

Zhou Yiming nodded heavily in the heat, wiping the water droplets from the corner of his eyes with his hand, but he couldn't tell whether he was wiping away sweat that had flowed into his eyes or tears that had slid down his cheeks.

"What kind of feelings are left? Even the deepest feelings will dissipate with repeated humiliation!"

"We're not kids anymore. We can't just have romance on our minds. We also need to think about reality!"

"How could I, who have lost Sel, dare to promise Huizi a future? I'm even more afraid that if she knew the truth, she would find me disgusting!"

After finally letting out the words that had been bottled up in his heart for so many years, he felt as if he had lost all his strength and sprains, and he lay back in the chair.

But it felt like a shackle had been removed from my heart, and I relaxed completely.

“Yiming!” Lin Hao’s voice was steady and powerful, carrying an undeniable confidence.

“Now that we’ve found the root of the problem, let’s solve it. Since Sel is the chain that’s holding you back, have you ever thought about leaving Sel and starting over?”

"Leave... leave Sel? Start over? Haozi, do you know what that means? It's half my life!"

"I know!" Lin Hao said decisively.

"But it also means that you won't have to be her puppet for the rest of your life! With your abilities and value, Zhou Yiming, are you really only fit to work at 'Sail,' an investment company controlled by Kang Ru?"

"Your vision and skill in market development, along with my brother Jia Kuan and me, are your true sources of confidence!"

Lin Hao leaned forward slightly, confidently giving an example:
“When I discovered that DeepBlue Consulting, which I founded, had become an obstacle to my dreams, and that my brother-in-law, through various maneuvers, was the real controlling shareholder of DeepBlue, I did not hesitate to sell my shares in the company and choose to start over.”

There are some things I've been working on in secret, but I haven't told you or Brother Kuan. You've all been wondering why I came back to VG. Today, I might as well tell you everything.

"The reason I returned to VG is not simply because of Andy's invitation, but because my company, Star Glory Investment, acquired shares in VG China. Now the two companies have merged, and I own 69% of the merged shares, making me the absolute controlling shareholder of VG China."

And my dream will soon take flight completely with this merger.

After recounting his own experiences, Lin Hao stared at Zhou Yiming and patiently guided him:

“We’re the same age, and you’re just as capable as me. If I can take this step, what are you afraid of?”

"To put it bluntly, even if you fail, you still have your two brothers, Jia Kuan and me, to back you up. What are you afraid of!"

"Funding is not a problem. Sail is developing rapidly, and your shares are not a small amount. But if you really need money, just tell me. Up to 100 million is not a problem. Wait a few more years, and 300 to 500 million will be a small problem!"
"Resources and connections are not a problem at all. I am the head of VG, and I have as many channels as I need."

"Speaking of connections? Let's not even talk about mine. Have you been wasting your life all these years? Your connections are probably even more extensive than mine!"

Even if it's Brother Kuan, you know his abilities, he's always been outstanding, and he understands the interpersonal relationships within the entire VG Group even better than Andy.

"He's about to be laid off, so he can totally start a new business with you. Leave the logistics to him, and he'll make sure everything is taken care of."

"Speaking of which!" Lin Hao then looked at Jia Kuan seriously and said:
"Brother Kuan, you should definitely consider investing. Becoming a founding shareholder, even a small one, is better than being a beast of burden who can be laid off at any time, isn't it?"

"With the support of us brothers, what are you afraid of? What difficulties can we not overcome?"

Jia Kuan was so excited that he slapped his thigh again and exclaimed:

"Haozi! That was so damn satisfying! Yiming, did you hear that? That's what brothers are for! We're not going to put up with that woman's bullying anymore!"

"Let's go solo! The three of us combined have the ability, resources, connections, and money. What are we afraid of? Just say you want to start a business, and I'll invest in you and run errands for you!"

Lin Hao looked at Zhou Yiming, who was panting heavily in the steam and whose eyes were flashing intensely, and knew that he was going through a fierce internal struggle.

As Lin Hao continued to guide Zhou Yiming's thoughts using his skills, he spoke in a deep and powerful voice:

"Yiming, as the saying goes, 'No destruction, no construction,' and 'rebirth from the ashes,' with your talent and value, you shouldn't be stuck in this little quagmire!"

"Your right to pursue happiness is what Hui Zi wants: a Zhou Yiming who is upright and can control his own destiny, not a pathetic wretch chained up and using money to mask his fear!"

"You think you're hiding in 'Sail' to protect your self-esteem? Wrong! You're sacrificing your life and love to pay the price for Kang Ru's controlling nature!"

"Now, the choice is in your hands: stay in that cage called 'Sail,' be Kangru's lifelong prisoner, and watch helplessly as Huizi leaves in disappointment?"

"Should we summon the same courage you had when you started your business, and together with you brothers, smash these shackles, and use your true abilities to build a clean, upright future for yourself and for Huizi, a future that truly belongs to you, Zhou Yiming?"

Whether it was the scorching heat of the sauna or the lingering heat in his chest, Zhou Yiming, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head, his previously bewildered eyes now burning with intense light.

It's like the ecstatic joy of seeing a way out in a desperate situation, or the complete explosion of long-suppressed ambition and resentment.

"Haozi, Kuan-ge! Thank you!" Zhou Yiming then shouted resolutely, showing a do-or-die determination:

"Damn it! I'm going to start all over again! So what if I have to start from scratch? As the saying goes, you can't live without being obsessed!"

"Huizi~, I'll give her a fair and square explanation!"

Lin Hao was quite pleased to have managed to persuade Zhou Yiming, but it seemed he had gone a bit too far, causing Zhou Yiming to overlook many of his issues with Huizi.

For example, everyone has different attitudes and perceptions when it comes to love.

Hui Zi believes that love is based on equality and freedom between both parties, but what is the reality?
How can there be equality? In today's society, even the dignity of individuals cannot be equal, let alone selfish love.

In fact, while enjoying the material life provided by Zhou Yiming, Huizi pursued her own dreams, and even coyly expressed that she did not want to use Zhou Yiming's money to pursue her own dreams.

If you always consider things from your own perspective, then the other person will always be at fault, not you.

However, Lin Hao didn't say anything more; these were things Zhou Yiming and Huizi should experience for themselves.
