Background / History
Reconciliation with Su Ningwei
Su Sheng first meets Ye Chen after Ye Chen saves him from falling debris outside Star Shine Media, sustaining injuries in the process. Ye Chen then resets Su Sheng's sprained neck, earning his immediate gratitude and respect 78.
Initially unaware that Ye Chen is Su Ningwei's husband, Su Sheng considers matching the impressive young artist with his daughter. He is briefly disappointed to hear that Ye Chen already has a wife and children, then learns that the wife is Su Ningwei and that they have triplets 79 80. After hearing of Ye Chen's devotion to Su Ningwei and the children, Su Sheng accepts him as his son-in-law and asks for only an 11,000-yuan bride price 80 81.
His reunion with Su Ningwei softens their estrangement. Su Sheng accepts that she has built her own family, while Su Ningwei begins to recognize the love behind his past actions and circumstances 82.
Health and Family Support
Years of overwork, drinking, and business stress leave Su Sheng with chronic headaches and problems affecting his stomach, liver, and heart. He trusts Ye Chen to perform acupuncture and follows his herbal prescription and lifestyle advice 90 91 92. Later, a physical examination finds him substantially healthier and no longer in need of his previous Western medicine 850.
Su Sheng supports Ye Chen and Su Ningwei materially and professionally. His support includes an unlimited black credit card for their household, Prosperity Plaza responsibilities for Ye Chen, the Prosperity Era Office Building, luxury accommodation, and extensive protection arrangements 97 175 466.
Conflict with Yao Yun and Su Jiu
Su Sheng’s marriage to Yao Yun began after he was set up while drunk; although he gave her formal status, he did not resume intimacy with her afterward 82. When Yao Yun tries to interfere with Su Ningwei’s marriage, he makes clear that Su Ningwei’s affairs are not hers to manage 209.
After Su Jiu attempts to harm Su Ningwei with a laser pointer, Su Sheng severely disciplines Su Jiu and sends the child to a militarized management school 478 480. He later discovers that Yao Yun had orchestrated past bullying and an attempt on Su Ningwei’s life. In response, he divorces Yao Yun, terminates all cooperation with the Yao Family and Yao Yu Apparel, and orders Qiao Heng blacklisted 481. Yao Yun later dies in a car accident abroad; Su Sheng chooses not to return to Yanjing for her funeral 550.
After learning that Su Jiu has XYY Syndrome and related mental illness, Su Sheng continues funding treatment, medication, and special supervision despite no longer considering Su Jiu a viable successor 857.
Succession and Later Threats
With Su Jiu unable to inherit responsibly, Su Sheng repeatedly considers Su Ningwei, Ye Chen, and eventually their children as successors to the Su Group. He places particular trust in Ye Chen’s character, judgment, and business ability 465 857 865.
At Prosperity Plaza in Magic City, Yao Huai attempts to assassinate Su Sheng with a crossbow. Ye Chen notices the attack and pulls him out of the arrow’s path; Su Sheng then has his personnel pursue and capture the attacker 953 954.
Personality
Su Sheng is deeply devoted to Su Ningwei. Though he regrets spending too little time with her while she was young, he consistently prioritizes her happiness over social status, wealth, or public opinion 80 464 854.
He is warm, socially adept, and considerate toward the Ye family. During wedding discussions, he treats Ye Dashan and Li Juan as family and puts them at ease despite the difference in their backgrounds 138.
As a businessman and family head, Su Sheng is decisive and ruthless when he believes his loved ones are threatened. He uses the Su Group’s influence to shield Ye Chen, punish those who target Su Ningwei, and remove Yao Yun’s family from his business sphere 182 481. His harsh treatment of Su Jiu is tempered by a sense of parental responsibility, as he still arranges treatment and supervision rather than abandoning the child 857.
