The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

The night was deep, but it was destined to be a sleepless night.

When the news broke that Longyu Group had officially settled in Beijing's Jingtong District with a massive investment of two trillion yuan—

As if it had sprouted wings and spread throughout the land, an even more significant signal was sent from the very core of the Dragon Kingdom's power.

A commendation and encouragement message personally reviewed and approved by the highest leader of the country was featured on the front page of the Dragon People's Daily, the most authoritative and widely circulated newspaper in the Dragon Kingdom!

And with its massive new media matrix, it spread across the country in an instant.

The words of encouragement are extremely concise, without lengthy official jargon. Each few words seem to have been meticulously crafted, carrying immense weight and containing boundless power.

Longyu Group, a large-scale national enterprise shouldering the mission of our times and possessing a strong sense of social responsibility, embodies the hope and future glory of China's national industries. We hope that enterprises and entrepreneurs from all sectors across the country will take Longyu Group as a role model, learn from its strengths, and work together to promote prosperity!

These few words of commentary are far more significant than any praise for commercial success.

This is the highest level of recognition and affirmation of Longyu Group's corporate philosophy and development model!

"National Hope", "Glorious Future", "Role Model"

These words, like the most dazzling halo, firmly crowned Longyu Group, pushing its political correctness and social recognition to an unparalleled peak!

Immediately afterwards, during the prime-time news broadcast that evening, CCTV News even aired a special report, a rare occurrence.

With a solemn expression and a steady, powerful voice, the anchor announced to the national audience:

"Breaking news from our station: The highly anticipated Longyu Group has officially established its global headquarters in Beijing's Jingtong District today. The group's first batch of 2 trillion yuan in investment funds has been fully in place..."

The report provides a detailed analysis of Longyu Group's blueprint for "Longyu City" and "Smart Community," and emphasizes its inspiring corporate spirit:

Ultimately, this will enable employees to ensure their children have access to early childhood education!

I have gained knowledge from my studies!

When you are sick, you should have access to medical care!

Parents should be well cared for in their old age!

Finally, we aim to ensure that every employee who contributes to Longyu has a place to live!

This is not only Longyu's promise to its employees, but also a profound interpretation of combining traditional human ethics and filial piety with modern corporate responsibility...!

The official stance and the detailed reports from authoritative media were like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling oil pan, pushing the "Longyu craze" to a nationwide climax!

That night, it was close to midnight.

The Jing-Tong District, that land planned as the core area of ​​the future "Longyu City," was still immersed in primitive tranquility and darkness. Suddenly—

"Whoosh—Bang!"

A sharp whistling sound shattered the silence, followed by a beam of golden light that shot straight into the sky like a sword, bursting forth with a deafening roar the moment it reached its highest point!

Transformed into a sky full of fiery streams, as brilliant as chrysanthemums, illuminating half the night sky!

"Whoosh—Bang! Whoosh whoosh—Bang bang bang!!"

More beams of light followed closely behind, vying to soar into the sky! The deafening explosions of the fireworks continued unabated, like celebratory cannon salutes, shaking the earth and resonating with the hearts of everyone standing in the open space not far away.

Red, green, blue, gold... all kinds of fireworks intertwine, collide, and bloom in the sky, forming one dazzling and ever-changing magnificent scene after another.

They illuminated the sleeping land below, and also the face of Hao Yuan, who stood at the forefront, leading all the members of the Jing-Tong District council and the investment promotion team.

He tilted his head back, his expression solemn and excited, his eyes following each firework as it rose, bloomed, and faded away.

Everyone behind him, regardless of age, looked up at the glorious sky they had fought for together, their faces beaming with indescribable excitement and pride.

As the last, most magnificent and dazzling firework, trailing a long tail of flame, soared resolutely into the clouds like a roaring golden dragon, bursting forth with a brilliant light that covered the entire sky, everything returned to silence and darkness.

Only the faint smell of gunpowder in the air testifies to the reality of the visual feast just now.

The last glimmer of light vanished completely into the deep night.

Hao Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze, looking around at the excited and expectant faces around him, his chest heaving.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, yet it reached everyone's ears with exceptional clarity:

"Comrades!" He stretched out his arm, pointing to the land that had just been illuminated by fireworks, now plunged back into darkness, yet brimming with boundless hope!

"Here! In the very near future, the Dragon Kingdom's first truly intelligent city will rise! Its name will be—Dragon Universe City!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with boundless conviction and power:

"And we! We are here to create prosperity on this land, fueled by the substantial capital of the Longyu Group, and through everyone's joint efforts and management, driving the renewal and progress of the times!"

His gaze, like a torch, swept across every pair of eyes:

"This place is not only the headquarters of Longyu Group, but also the most glorious chapter in each of your political careers! It is a place where you can hold your heads high and tell future generations about your unparalleled glory!"

He practically shouted out the final question:

"Do you have the confidence to shine brightly for the future of this land, for the tomorrow of Jingtong District, and to live up to the opportunities of this era, contributing all your wisdom and sweat to create a glorious new era that belongs to us?!"

"have!!"

"have!!"

"have!!!"

His response was a thunderous, unified roar!

At this moment, all the officials in the Jingtong District were filled with excitement and their eyes were burning with emotion. They clenched their fists, focused on Hao Yuan, and made the loudest and most resolute vow from the bottom of their hearts!

The sounds converged, piercing the night sky, as if to dispel all darkness and welcome the inevitable dawn!

With this tremendous contribution to settling in Longyu Group, Hao Yuan's name has become an unmissable and dazzling new political star in the political arena of Longguo!

His political future is destined to be smooth sailing and unobstructed!

As a new day dawns, the sun rises as usual, but it seems to carry a different temperature and altitude than before, like a footnote to a brand new era, casting its light upon this land that has returned to prosperity and bustle.

In a spacious and bright office on the top floor of a modern luxury office building in a first-tier city far from Beijing.

A man in his thirties, dressed in an expensive bespoke suit and exuding a sharp and capable air, stood quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

He has maintained this posture since he entered the office, like a statue, for nearly two hours.

His name is Lu Yunfan. He is one of the core executives of this large group company, managing a team of thousands of people and controlling tens of millions of yuan in cash flow.

To outsiders, he was young and promising, a typical successful elite, standing at the pinnacle of life that countless people envied.

However, at this moment, there was not a trace of joy of success on his face, only a deep, unyielding bitter smile.

His gaze, peering through the cold glass at the bustling traffic and tiny crowds below, was moist and unfocused.

His mind was filled with the resounding words of Teng Ao from last night's news and the powerful words of encouragement in the Longmin Daily.

"Children should be cared for in their youth... Parents should be provided for in their old age..."

These words, like red-hot steel needles, pierced his heart, bringing waves of sharp, intense pain.

Everything he has today comes from his parents—those simple, unpretentious old people who still live in a remote little town.

They devoted their entire lives to sending him abroad to study, scrimping and saving, even going into debt, and he finally achieved this through his relentless efforts both abroad and after returning home.

However, while he can now manage a massive team of thousands with ease and make calm decisions regarding the flow of funds in the tens of millions, he...

He couldn't care about the health of his aging parents, nor could he stay by their side, even just to have a simple home-cooked meal with them.

He realized that he hadn't traveled home for two whole years.

He recalled how many Mid-Autumn Festivals and Lunar New Year's Eves his parents spent in anticipation and disappointment.

He wondered when the last time he had proactively called his parents to ask if they were alright was. It seemed...too long ago that he couldn't remember.

He even...disturbed to his horror, realized that he seemed to have completely forgotten his parents' birthdays amidst the busyness of work and social engagements...

The busyness of his work made him remember the milestones of every project in the company and the preferences of every important client, but he forgot everything about his parents who gave him life and raised him.

Looking at his current age, he seems to have achieved success in his career, yet he remains single. His parents' simplest and most basic wish—to hold their grandchildren and enjoy the joys of family life—has become an unattainable luxury for him.

The child wishes to care for his parents, but they are no longer there...

Did he succeed?

In terms of career, perhaps so.

But as a son... his life was nothing but a mess, a complete failure! A huge sense of guilt and emptiness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunfan suddenly closed his eyes, and two streams of hot tears finally slid down from the corners of his tightly closed eyes, silently dripping onto the collar of his expensive suit along his resolute cheeks.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made the most important and most relieved decision of his life.

He whirled around, his steps firm as he walked towards his desk. He turned on his computer, created a new document, and began typing rapidly and forcefully. The document's title was a mere three words—

[Resignation Letter]

He wanted to go home as soon as possible! To return to his parents, whom he hadn't seen for so long, and make up for the time he had missed!

At the same time, as the newly launched giant ship of Longyu Group recruits crew members, he wants to use his abilities and experience to apply for a position he is confident in!

Because only Longyu, only that place that has "providing for the elderly" written into the soul of the enterprise, can simultaneously accommodate his ambitions and his pure heart that yearns to fulfill his filial duties!

A new journey began the moment he typed his first word.
