In stark contrast, Sheng Yang is depicted as someone who is just dipping his toes into the professional world for the first time. He radiates youthful exuberance, is teeming with energy, and shows an unwavering dedication to his work. Beyond this, he embodies a sense of captivating innocence and is clearly propelled by the vigor that comes with youthful aspirations.
