Some content in the book may seem unrelated to business, but it actually has intrinsic connections. Moreover, although a small portion of the material appears unrelated to business, its thorough demonstration of business ethics, humanistic spirit, and the students' enthusiasm during our trial teaching made it difficult to omit, so it has been retained.
