HT said to Grandpa: JX has a lot of merits I don't have.
Grandpa: Your hobbies, perspectives, values, and even love angles are so different. Of course, this is the reason you're attracted to each other now. But as time goes by, this is what will cause contradictions between you. You have opposite tempers. Which one of you will concede?
HT: No one is born to be a perfect couple. I believe in our love.
(But HT, your definition of love is different than JX's idea of love.)
If i were JX i will also have distrust issue. First the company she worked betrayed her after worked there for…
JX is too focused on work. I think later on in the novel, she can decide to join a small company or stay in a big company, and she makes the decision to stay with a big company and focus on R&D projects. I think it's more suitable for her personality.
How can hanting sister betrayed him like that, hurting her family own company just to bring him down and siding…
Members of dynasty families are raised in an environment of intense competition for power, wealth, and influence, often leading to ruthless behavior. Ji Xing, on the other hand, is a kind, honest, hardworking, passionate, compassionate, courageous, and tenacious little genius. She dedicates herself to innovating products and growing her startup, unaware of the snares and traps of the elite corporate world. As a small-town girl, she finds this environment frightening.
The merger will cause her to break up with HT, similar to how she retreats home after the one-night stand, then avoids him. When she is confused, she needs time to process.
Han Ting tried to protect her but couldn’t. He usually controls every situation, but Ji Xing is too much for him to handle. She is her own person just like she stood up to sexual harassment when everyone told her to forgive, but finding out about the merger has shattered her confidence.
It seems to me HT didn't want to merge. He was forced to. He had faith JX would find the right product positioning for XingChen for her startup to survive, instead of competing head on with Hanghai. I think HT felt that if it came to it, there was time to discuss a merger with her in the future. He never betrayed her.
JX fell in love with HT and this merger made her feel like a pawn. She thought that if he loves her, he will tell her everything that goes on. But that's not how HT sees love. Eventually, they will reconcile and start over.
one does something wrong and you will do it twice or worse? where is love? what is love? is it love? you can forget…
I see nothing wrong with him not divulging his business strategy he put into motion over a decade ago in Germany. In his circle, mixing business and pleasure is common but not to Ji Xing. When he said they are compatible, Grandpa warned him JX doesn't belong in his world and will collide with him.
The merger had to go forward because Chang He invested in XingChen. Does this mean if JX had not reacted as she did and signed with Chang He, then the merger may never have happened? Isn't it inevitable that Hanhai will slowly kill XingChen or reduce XingChen to just niche products. Maybe to JX, she rather her company crashed then be gobbled up? The merger has its pros and cons for the company, its founder and employees. With the merger, XingChen take leverage Hanhai and Dongyang. The ones holding stock will make money. The employees will have more opportunities. Then there are always those employees who prefer working environments of small startups may leave. JX was smart to negotiate employment terms for her employees and independent R&D rights so even if their projects overlap with Hanhai, they can still do their own thing. The way it's set up, it can only succeed if JX is at the helm. I think in the novel she leaves the reign to SZZ but SZZ does not seem like a visionary to me.
Hanhai executive told JX that he had initially proposed merger to HT but he rejected it, so what prompted HT to go ahead? Was it just waiting for the right timing, or he never intended for the merger but allow JX to find her product positioning for XingChen to survive against Hanhai? Even though HT is investor in both, he can still allow them to fairly compete with each other and not personal favors. HT and Grandpa was pleased that JX has vision to know how to deal with Hanhai. But Hanhai executive expressed his concerns to HT. Was it because he knows that his cousin is helping Chang He to get XingChen? Trading Guangsha shares for XingChen shares is lopsided exchange. He did it to save XingChen. Was it because he truly recognize the value of XingChen's potential because of JX or because he doesn't' want JX's dream for XingChen to die in hands of Chang He? I believe HT is doing both. He would never have invested in XingChen if he didn't recognize JX potential. He would not save XingChen for such a lopsided trade if he didn't believe in JX. He would never have gotten involved with JX if he didn't see her qualities to be his future wife.
I will NEVER understand listening to the words of a woman that tried to sabotage both your business and relationship…
JX never wanted to get involve with her investor but just focus on her company, but he flirted with her, and one thing led to another. JX is so focused on her work she doesn't pay attention to her relationships. She was shocked when Yichen left her. She has only known HT for a short period and initially treated him as a mentor only. After the night one stand, she was confused. She even tried to avoid him. She's only lived with him for a short time. She knows HT is ruthless. It's natural to distrust him. Trust takes time and they haven't' been together that long and this merger which is a big deal to her took her by surprise.
XK has shown multiple times he can do those roles where you show emotions while showing no emotions, meaning with…
yep but these kinds of roles don't seem to get you recognition. I thought Bian Luo Huan expressions in SAF6 was exquisite, perfection. I like WOL for his range and versality. I am hoping Firefighter will be a serious role and be a breakthrough for him.
