The Border of Kindness: from a Banker to a Billionaire

Tian Ming, who came out of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, became a middle-level manager of a state-owned bank through hard work. However, due to his wife's serious illness, he fell into a quagmire of debt. The "dead salary" of his honest wife could not afford the high treatment fees. He borrowed loans at usury and was maliciously collected. His mother jumped from the building, his relatives were cut off, and his work was excluded. In the end, he was forced to leave the system and his family moved to a northern city. In the cold wind of the North, he started out by setting up a street stall selling Jiangnan silk. He experienced the pain of being pursued by the urban management and squeezed by his colleagues, but he unexpectedly gained the goodwill of his northern neighbors. With his financial expertise, he transitioned into small business financing consulting, from helping fruit stall owners find loans to helping catering companies expand their scale, and gradually built his own business empire. On the road to counterattack, he always retained his kindness, but learned "thorny tenderness": he kept away from friends who had ridiculed him; he gave everything to those who really needed help; he used the law to fight back against collectors who had hurt him, but offered a helping hand when his mother was seriously ill. Faced with the "dog-licking" overtures from his former friends, he chose to be kind-hearted, but he would never be a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others.
