"We are sorry. We could not save Miss Yao Jiao," the doctor informed the parents of Feng Jiao, who started crying.
"Junwei," his mother, Xinying, called out his name as she embraced him. Kissing on the top of his head, she wrapped her arms around him tightly.
Yu Junwei was blankly staring at the door of the ICU. Yao Jiao had promised him that she would be fine after the surgery. But, she could not handle the pain that she was going through for years.
"She is in peace now," he heard his mother when he pushed her off. His mother and Yao Jiao's parents were bewildered to see the way Yu Junwei reacted.
"Son," Yu Xinying called him out but he ran away from there. She did not go behind Yu Junwei because she knew that he needed time. Xinying wiped the tears off her eyes and lowered her head.
Yu Junwei ran out of the hospital. He kept running aimlessly until his foot hit a pebble and he fell. His right hand and knee got bruised. The people walked past him but no one came forward to help him. "Why did you leave me? Just why?" He shouted at the top of his lungs. He started crying as he punched his hand against the floor. The people looked at him anxiously. His head was getting heavy. Soon the darkness surrounded his eyes, and he lost his consciousness.

Present Time: Shanghai, China [6:00 am]
"Yuyu, it's time to wake up! Yuyu, It's time to wake up! Yuyu, it's time to wake up!
A young man in his 20s squeezed his eyes tightly as he heard this voice. When the voice did not stop, he forced himself to wake up and glared at the device on the table- His virtual Assistant Anna.
"I am awake!" He annoyingly said. He put his palms over his face and recalled the dream he just had. It had been ten years but that memory never once left his mind.
He put his palms down and shook his head. Dragging himself out of the bed, he went straight to the washroom.
Meet Yu Junwei, the CEO of Sunshine Technologies, a Top Leading Electric products company in China. He took over the Company at the age of 21. Though he inherited his grandfather's company through his fortune but took the Company to greater heights in two years of his reign, earning him the title of the Youngest Billionaire!
Yu Junwei came out of the washroom, wrapped in a bathrobe, and went straight to the dressing room. After getting ready in sports clothes, he came to his bedroom and picked his mobile phone from the bedside table.
"Anna, how's the weather today?" Yu Junwei asked.
"Here's the weather report.
The sky is bright till mid-noon, followed by a drizzle so make sure to take your umbrella or raincoat, Yuyu.
The AQI Index is moderate today.
UV Index is 7. So, put on your sunscreen, Yuyu."
Anna narrated the weather to Yu Junwei, who was checking the messages.
"I'll see you later, Anna," Yu Junwei said and left for the office in his Electric Cycle.
Yes, from a young age, he was concerned about the changing climate with each passing day and had decided to do every possible effort to protect it from his end. Daily he used to ride his bicycle to the company, covering almost ten kilometers on it, thus keeping himself healthy.
Soon he reached outside his company while his secretary was waiting for him at the entrance. As he halted there, quickly a man came to him and took the bicycle away.
With the towel hanging around his neck, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. His Secretary, Wang Zexi, came to him and bowed his head. "Good morning, Sir."
"I did not get late, right?" Yu Junwei asked.
"No, Sir. It is 8 am," Wang Zexi stated. Yu Junwei nodded and walked in, followed by his Secretary. The guards at the entry point greeted him. Yu Junwei bowed as he turned towards the VIP elevator. Stepping into it, he pressed the button on the 20th Floor, and then the lift door was closed.
"Sir, your grandfather is returning from the US. He might be here by the afternoon," Wang Zexi informed Yu Junwei, who hummed. The elevator pinged as they were now on the 20th Floor. Stepping out, they went to the CEO's prime office.
"Come after 30 minutes," Yu Junwei affirmed and walked towards the washroom in the office. Wang Zexi bowed as his boss disappeared from his sight.
Yu Junwei, after taking a hot shower got ready in a professional suit. While tucking his tie, he recalled Yao Jiao, who taught him how to tuck a tie.
'Yuyu, look you need to grab this end and then push it through the knot that you just made. Pull it down, keeping your finger here,' she pointed at her collar button and continued, 'And the perfect knot is made. It's so simple.'
The image of Yao Jiao vanished as he came to reality. He picked the navy blue colored blazer and wore it. Buttoning the blazer, he wore the shoes and walked out of the dressing room. He got seated on the office couch when Secretary Wang came in, followed by a server.
"Sir, your breakfast is here," Wang Zexi glanced at the server, who pushed the food trolley and set the table.
"Is everything ready for the Launch event?" Yu Junwei questioned.
"Yes, Sir," Secretary Wang replied.
Yu Junwei picked the napkin and placed it on his lap. Picking the fork, he cut the omelet slices and put one slice in his mouth.
"Sir, last week an offer came from WC Entertainment. They want you to consider its actress for the photoshoot with the upcoming Electric Self-Automated Vehicle," Wang Zexi reminded Yu Junwei, who nodded his head.
"They again sent a reminder message to us, waiting for your reply. WC Entertainment is a popular agency. If we go with this offer then, it will benefit us. Since the actress is a known face not only in China but also outside the nation, it is going to benefit us tremendously," Wang Zexi further stated.
Yu Junwei kept eating until he finished his food. Once he was done, he placed the knife and fork on the plate then picked the napkin. Dabbing his mouth with the napkin, he placed the napkin on the table and picked the glass of fresh orange juice.
"Don't you think that agency is trying to take advantage of us?" Yu Junwei swirled the glass in his hand and then took a sip. "I do not need any actor, actress, or model to launch it," Yu Junwei pronounced.
Wang Zexi bowed as he acknowledged the decision of his boss. Yu Junwei finished the juice and thanked the server, who came forward to clean the table. He then left with the food trolley while Yu Junwei stood up from the sofa and went to his desk.
He picked his phone and put it inside his blazer. "Let's go," he turned to Secretary Wang and the two walked out of the cabinet.
