Edge Time

Su Yi, who was born in the 1960s, has a family background that others envy. It can be said that everything has been smooth sailing from school to work. He became the vice president of a well-known tourism company when he was less than 30 years old. As a young deputy director-level cadre, he was organized as a key reserve cadre for training and was prepared to be transferred to government agencies. However, Su Yi, who was envied by others, disliked this arranged life very much. In the early 1990s, the wave of gambling sweeping across the country finally involved Su Yi into the business world. Su Yi, who has connections, culture, and brains, has also entered the highlight period of his life in the shopping mall. After many ups and downs, Su Yi, who is over fifty, has become a member of a tragic group in this era - the dishonest. That is what people call "Lao Lai". The aura of the past has become a joke today. The label of "Lao Lai" is like the tattoo on the prisoner's forehead in "Water Margin" and it is pasted on Su Yi's face. Su Yi, who had nothing but debts, did not want to cause any more trouble to his family, so he went to an old community to rent a simple colored steel house on the roof alone. The novel unfolds with Su Yi's re-starting a business as a clue, spanning different social levels. From migrant workers, project brokers, private enterprise bosses to government officials... After going through hardships, Su Yi once again led a team mainly composed of debtors to successfully land and reach the top again. Based on life, from character creation to plot design, strict life logic is followed. The plot is laid out on multiple lines, but it sticks closely to the theme. It not only exposes the greed of speculators in a social environment with serious materialization, but also shows the noble spirit of struggling in difficult times. Walk to a water-poor place and sit down to watch the clouds rise.
