Lu Xi seemed to be having an extremely long dream.
In that dream of his, he was still called Shen Luxi[1].
[1] 沈陆曦 (shěn lù xī) - A witty play on his name, the only difference is 曦 xī, which means early dawn, sunlight, the sun or sunshine. The message behind the word is of great metaphorical meaning, an extremely beautiful wording about the sun and the sunshine; often meaning staying optimistic, individualistic, open-minded. The word 陆 lù here remains with the same meaning as land, shore or continent.
Shen for the Shen family clan, Lu for dry land and Xi for the radiance of the rosy light of day that had been covered by multi-coloured clouds[2]; so he had been named this because of how the Shen Family's grounds had been in a position facing the sun and to signify how he would bear the entire Shen Family's hopes and future.
[2] 卿云郁郁曜晨曦 (qīng yún yù yào chén xī) - Part of a written record from the "Records of the Grand Historian: the Book of Heavenly Government", it was part of a verse of a poem; 'if mist wert not mist, if clouds wert not clouds, they were dense and numerous, coiled in a huge, desolate overshadow. When one peers upon thus, it truly wert like a rosy cloud, an auspicious sign of celebration.' It means that with the multicoloured clouds in the horizons are covering the radiance of the sun, it is like an auspicious sign of reciprocation towards the heart and mind of Buddha, as if God has a desire for blessing peace and prosperity for the country and its people.
While in this dream state, he recalled how he had been informed of the significance behind the origins of his name and similarly how he had thought himself as a person of such importance as well.
As the eldest grandson of the Shen clan, he had been gifted since he was born and since he was young, he had been the most favoured and talented child; the exemplary model of the entire younger generation of the family.
When he had taken over the family corporation at the age of eighteen, without a doubt within four years, he had expanded the entire Shen Family's influence by double.
At the time he was barely twenty-two years old.
That had been the time of his youth, incomparably magnificent.
In the eyes of his parents, he was the eldest son that made them proud. In the eyes of his peers, he was the idol that they looked up to and in the eyes of the people of the same industry, he was the king of the business world that one avoided like the plague.
