   Summary

   Xie Lian is a student. He used to be a model. His guest lecturer is someone from a past he would like to leave closed.
   Thankfully, he gets a job from him, so that his degree course will at least not go to waste. And he even gets paid?! Maybe he can drop one of his side jobs. What could go wrong?

   A lot.
   The past does not stay in the past.
   Hua Cheng has revelations and realisations. And he would very much like to punch his business rival Jun Wu.
