The Beautiful Beauty of the 1980s Compound

Her fiancé was too busy weeping over a "little white lotus" to notice, leaving it to Qin Hengzhi, a passing factory representative, to dive in and rescue her. Rumors swirled through the residential compound that the Lu family's second daughter had lost her mind after her engagement was broken. Little did they know, she possessed the extraordinary ability to understand the thoughts of animals, a talent that propelled her from a neighborhood mediator all the way to the Bureau of Foreign Trade. She found Old Lady Li's lost gold ring in a swallow's nest under the eaves of the neighboring Qi family's house; she retrieved a national treasure lost decades ago from the reed marshes of Red Star Lake; and she even extracted clues regarding a blueprint leak from the mouth of the factory director's wife's pet myna bird. Everyone said Qin Hengzhi was as cold as unyielding iron. His features were as sharp and chilling as a blade, yet he offered a rare curl of his lips when the Lu family expressed their gratitude: "I shall look forward to receiving Comrade Lu's token of thanks." It wasn't until their wedding night, when Lu Qiaoge was pressed against the window adorned with wedding symbols, that she realized this man had long since figured out all her secrets. Years later, when a reporter inquired about the token of love belonging to the wealthiest couple, Qin Hengzhi—the once cold-faced "King of Hell" turned doting husband—stroked a yellowed engagement letter. Meanwhile, Chairperson Lu, a powerhouse in the business world, adjusted her pearl earrings and remarked: "Back then, someone was busy crying over a little white lotus in the water, but my Representative Qin jumped into that lake and fished out an entire business empire. Tell me, shouldn't a life-saving debt like that be repaid with a lifetime?"
