Hi, I'm A Gui. Gui, as in wealth and prosperity. Welcome to my happy life.
Wang Fugui, yes, that's my name. My parents put a lot of thought into it, hoping it would embody the simple, down-to-earth power of the soil.
Too bad that power seems to have gone to waste in all the wrong places, like my studies.
From the village primary school to the county high school, my grades stayed firmly near the bottom of the middle. I never even managed to wear out a single textbook, let alone become someone my classmates clamored to befriend.
With my plain face, I could disappear into the morning rush-hour subway like a drop of water falling back into the sea. It would go plop, and the water could scarcely be bothered to make a ripple.
I scraped together a junior college diploma and went into property maintenance, becoming the neighborhood's very own “Master A Gui.”
Every day, I tighten screws, unclog pipes, and change light bulbs. My monthly salary is 3,500 yuan, and after food, clothes, housing, and transport, having enough left on my bank card to last a week counts as a win.
But then everything changed...
Hi, I'm A Gui. Gui, as in wealth and prosperity!
