share time: 2025-12-06 00:30:39

Chen Zongyao, the richest man in Jiangdu, retires to his hometown, deliberately dressing in old clothes and riding a beat-up bike to pretend to be poor. But he's met with mockery from the entire village—neighbors jeer that he's 'worse off than a stray dog,' his elder brother scolds him for 'shaming the Chen family,' and even his beloved niece avoids him like the plague. His three daughters, heartbroken, secretly invite Jiang Mei, Chen's former admirer and now the chamber of commerce president, to the village. When Jiang Mei shows up with a million-yuan contract and shouts, 'Mr. Chen, it's time to collect your investment from years ago,' the whole village goes silent— the 'poor relative' they looked down on is actually the tycoon who controls half of Jiangdu's business. Those sarcastic remarks? They just backfired spectacularly.
