Scorned When I Moved to the City, I Fought My Way to the Top

At eighteen, Lin Feng failed the college entrance exam. With the 200 yuan his mother scraped together for travel fare, he headed to the city to stay with his “Auntie,” Su Qing. He thought he’d finally have somewhere to live, but as soon as he arrived, he caught his aunt in an ambiguous moment with a mysterious man and was warned, “Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t see.” With nowhere else to go, he had to sleep on the living-room floor. Then, while looking for a job, he ran into a shady labor broker who confiscated his ID and charged outrageous fees. Lin Feng may be a country boy with no connections or backing, but there’s a fierce streak in him. The broker tries to bully him? He’ll grab a kitchen knife and fight back. He gets picked on at the factory? He’ll earn his place through quick hands and sheer grit. A benefactor gives him a chance? He’ll seize it and climb higher step by step. From a poor kid who couldn’t afford meat to a business mogul who dominates the city, Lin Feng carves out a place for himself in the city’s glittering nightlife with his fists and his brains. Along the way, he finds both true friends who stand by him and smiling rivals with knives behind their backs. This is a satisfying story about an ordinary man from the bottom who refuses to give in or accept his lot, turning the tables and slapping down his enemies on his way to wealth and beautiful women.
