Features: Lever? Loophole? Trick or Curse? At an invisible height, there's an eye that sees clearly. Ding Li's novels vividly depict the bizarre and fantastical of contemporary urban society. What's rare is his consistent equal and deep humanistic concern for the diverse business figures in his stories—writer Mo Yan is appealing, entertaining, and dramatic! Ding Li's portrayal of the myriad characters in his works is the reality we encounter every day. —Poet and playwright Zou Jingzhi Only those who have been in business can portray entrepreneurs so convincingly, including their inner world, business behavior, and profit models. Opening Ding Li's novel, the atmosphere of the market and life wafts in. The protagonists are also ordinary people around us—intelligent yet foolish, great yet ordinary, with both noble virtues and severe flaws. In my reading experience, he is a writer who truly captures the essence of business. —Tian Jie, Chairman of Beijing Laojia Roubing Fast Food Chain Zhang Jinlong and his brother-in-law Lin Wenxuan were dismissed from the factory and moved from the interior to Shenzhen. They quickly lost all their savings. Desperate, they accepted the suggestion of college student Zhao Feiyue to work and buy stocks, and they became rich. Lin opened a restaurant, while Zhao continued trading stocks. Zhang Jinlong was determined to start a business and finally acquired a factory. However, due to not having a Shenzhen hukou, his company had to be registered under someone else's name. When his company was on the verge of being taken over, Deng Xueli stepped in and saved the day. Grateful, Zhang Jinlong and Deng's relationship grew passionate. To divorce his wife in the interior, Zhang went to great lengths to gain the support of Lin Wenxuan's wife. But Deng didn't marry him and grew colder and colder, eventually revealing her sinister motives for seizing shares. Enraged, Zhang struck Deng and was sent to prison. Just as he feared his business would fall into her hands, fate took a turn—divine intervention unfolded a dramatic and tragic comedy of destiny.
