Jiang Ye's eyes lit up immediately as he looked towards the entrance.

A woman with wavy hair, wearing an elegant dark suit and matching high heels, walked in with light steps and graceful demeanor.

"Yun Xi?!" Jiang Ye exclaimed in surprise.

Isn't this an old acquaintance of his? How come she's also become a victim of injustice?

Yun Xi, the eldest daughter of the Yun Family, comes from a family that runs a business. Her grandfather was a patriotic industrialist in his early years, and his company, Huaxi Industries, has always been known for its high-quality products at low prices. Her father, Yun Lansheng, is also a famous patriotic industrialist who has expanded and improved the family business.

Yun Xi, like his brother, was always called "someone else's child" since he was a child, excelling in everything and always striving to be number one.

Her life trajectory and her brother's can be said to be completely overlapping. Her resume is even more outstanding than her brother's, who didn't graduate from Ivy League until he was twenty.

But the woman in front of me graduated from one of the world's top universities at the age of eighteen.

After graduating, she took over the group, and under her leadership, Huaxi Industries developed very rapidly.

Since Yun Xi joined Huaxi Industries, its industrial chain has undergone a complete upgrade, launching a high-end series, consolidating its presence among middle- and upper-income groups, expanding its product range, increasing its promotional efforts, and capturing the lower-tier market.

Huaxi Industries's businesses have sprung up everywhere in an instant, expanding into all sectors within just a few years.

Her own Xizhu Entertainment Company, also holds a significant position in the industry, boasting several popular young actresses and actors, and its investments in films and television dramas have yielded impressive results.

She was among the first to recognize the growing popularity of variety shows in China and pioneered the field of reality TV, successfully igniting the genre. Now, she owns several popular and hit variety shows and has launched the careers of several top-tier variety show actors, making a fortune.

Huaxi Industries was once considered one of the two dominant players in the industry, alongside [unclear - possibly a specific company or entity].

These male and female protagonists really have a good eye for investment; they've managed to pick up some really big fish.

No wonder the male and female protagonists became the richest people in the world in the end. They squeezed the richest man out of the world, so they became the next richest people.

I remember when Jiang Ye was infatuated with Wen Chuxue, he took her to a party and saw Yun Xi attending with Huo Xiuzhu.

Jiang Ye was still praising Yun Xi back then, saying that she was still the same ruthless person she was when she was a child. Now, after more than ten years of purification, this woman is definitely a bloodless female demon.

Who would have thought this female demon was also a victim of injustice?!

Yun Xi walked in gracefully in her high heels and heard Jiang Ye call out to her in shock.

She looked up and, seeing it was an acquaintance, immediately smiled and greeted her warmly in a sweet, soft voice, "Jiang Ye? What a coincidence, long time no see."

[Wow! Yun Xi is actually a sweet girl!! I can't believe that a CEO who manages the company so well is actually a sweet girl who can't resist pigs!!!]

Jiang Ye was also stunned. He and Yun Xi were elementary school classmates, but they hadn't seen each other for many years. When he was a child, he was so hurt by her that he would develop PTSD whenever he saw Yun Xi or heard Yun Xi name.

So when Jiang Ye was in sixth grade, he strongly requested his Mother Jiang to transfer him to another elementary school, and they never saw each other again.

Although Yun Xi is no longer in the martial arts world, her legend lives on. Mother Jiang still mentions Yun Xi to him from time Yun Xi time, always saying that she skipped a grade, won first prize in the National Physics Competition, and received a full scholarship...

Later, he heard countless stories about how much success Yun Xi had achieved with Huaxi Industries, and how perfectly Yun Xi had performed in this bidding process.

In his mind, Yun Xi had become an absolute, emotionless female demon, the kind of woman who could easily defeat any man in the world.

But to everyone's surprise, her personality is still the same as when she was in elementary school—still a sweet and adorable girl?

He recalled his elementary school days, and realized that this girl was indeed soft-hearted towards everyone. The harshest thing she ever said was, "With tears in her eyes and a wronged look on her face, I will definitely defeat you!"

But this girl is really too strong. Her grades always dwarf those little potatoes, to the point that Jiang Ye, who always gets the worst grades, gets a good beating every time he comes home.

Jiang Ye naturally formed the image of this woman as a female demon in his mind.

He really forgot that this girl cried while doing her test and got a perfect score, ruthlessly trampling the people who bullied her underfoot.

Now that they meet again, the fear of being dominated by Yun Xi over the years still echoes in his mind.

But the thought of her tragic future made Jiang Ye feel a pang of pity.

They were classmates after all; shouldn't he remind this woman that she's surrounded by a den of vipers?

"Long time no see, how have you been?" Jiang Ye carefully considered his words before tentatively asking.

He should probably test the waters with this woman first, lest he run into another love-struck fool and drive himself crazy.

Yun Xi smiled faintly, "Great! You're a big star? I never thought you actually fulfilled your childhood dream!"

Jiang Ye was slightly shocked; he hadn't expected Yun Xi to remember what he had said.

They were only deskmates for three years.

Back then, the class was discussing essays, and the topic was "What do you want to be in twenty years?" The teacher asked them to come up and share their thoughts. Jiang Ye was very arrogant at the time, saying that he wanted to be a big star so that everyone would know him.

He himself had forgotten about it, yet Yun Xi remembered?

"I'm fine too, um... Do you have time now? I have a few words to say to you." Jiang Ye's temper was truly unbearable.

Seeing Huo Xiuzhu's pathetic state annoyed him!

He was determined to tell Yun Xi Huo Xiuzhu the truth.
