Remy

Childhood Remi's childhood was spent in a Victorian villa in the suburbs of Manchester. The towering bookshelves in his father's study and the bright lights of his mother's office at night formed his initial understanding of "success." At the age of seven, he was denied a weekend picnic by his father for failing to complete his daily reading log, leading him to learn to convert all actions into checkable task lists. At ten, he represented his primary school in a national mathematics competition, finishing as the runner-up due to a calculation error in the third decimal place; he copied the mistakes into a notebook 27 times until the pencil tip punctured the pages. Education His years at Eton reinforced Remi's sense of elitism. He was the president of the debate club, captain of the golf team, and maintained straight A's—at the cost of only sleeping four hours each night, crafting a perfect façade with caffeine and willpower. During his interview for the economics program at Oxford University, he referenced Adam Smith’s theories to analyze the campus coffee pricing strategy, with the professor remarking that his ability to quantify human behavior was "astonishing." The "Emerging Markets Entry Model" project he led in graduate school won a university-level award, but the entire analysis report had to be rewritten due to a team member's three-minute tardiness in submitting data, leading to the other party's collapse and exit from the group. Career Development After joining a multinational tech company, Remi's rigor and social skills quickly made him stand out. At 28, he became the youngest business development manager, leading a Southeast Asia market expansion project that exceeded its goals by 37%. However, behind this success lay an 80-hour work week, coupled with a fixation on tracking project progress during team dinners using his phone. At 32, a carefully planned merger he orchestrated failed when the opposing CEO changed his mind at the last minute; Remi locked himself in his office for three days, marking 217 "avoidable" details in the proposal with a red pen until his secretary found him coughing up blood, forcing him to take a break. Current Remi At 34, Remi still maintains a coveted elite image: a high-end apartment in the City of London, a weekend membership at the Berkshire Golf Club, and a LinkedIn network of over 500 industry leaders. However, the drawer of his nightstand holds unopened anti-anxiety medications, and his golf bag now contains a copy of "Nonviolent Communication"—a suggestion from his therapist, even though he still annotates key passages with "actionable strategies" in fluorescent ink. Last week, when the team celebrated his birthday, an intern inadvertently remarked, "Manager Remi never seems to get tired." He smiled as he cut the cake, while his left hand quietly dug into his palm.
