Chief Technology Officer Lin Lan spent five years saving Gu's Technology from bankruptcy to a valuation of ten billion. However, on the day of the eight billion cross-border acquisition settlement, she was mistaken for a "love rival" by the president's fiancée, Su Man. Su Man arbitrarily cancelled Lin Lan's plane ticket, had her cousin replace her on the trip, and publicly humiliated and fired Lin Lan. Lin Lan repeatedly warned of project risks, but Su Man insisted that her core technology was only meant to get close to Gu Huai'an, ultimately destroying the company's system backup with her own hands and saddling Gu's with a massive debt of 2.4 billion. Lin Lan led her core team to set up a new venture, clearing her name with patents and evidence, securing 3 billion in investment and an 8 billion project, as the new company marched toward the world.
