Passionate About Trade Routes

[Business War + Emotion + Era + Officialdom + Anti-corruption + Hunting for Women + Couple Ethics] The road to the north for Wenzhou businessmen is a road of ambition and a road home. Wenzhou native Gu Yitong and his wife Mai Xiaowan were classmates at Zhejiang University and established a relationship at the school. After graduation, they both returned to Wenzhou to work. Soon, Gu Yitong founded a business and achieved success. However, Gu Yitong was unwilling to accept the status quo and went to the north to devote himself to real estate development despite Mai Xiaowan's opposition. With the help of Chao Yuxin, the leader of Wenzhou City, and Wen County Magistrate of Yidong County, he entered the northern market for the first time, but soon fell into a double dilemma of career and emotion. Gu Yitong first fell in love with the female secretary Zhang Wei, and later used her as a bargaining chip to please corrupt officials for the sake of his career. Zhang Wei also saw through Gu Yitong's intentions and took the opportunity to climb to a higher branch. Soon, Gu Yitong hung out with office clerk Fang Yanni and sex worker Xingzi. Mai Xiaowan, a well-known female reporter on social issues in Wenzhou, went to the north to find her husband in the pain of a broken marriage, awakening Gu Yitong's conscience with reason and affection. Zhang Wei also wandered among several men in pursuit of profit, and joined forces with Wenzhou giant Bu Shiren to form a community of government and business interests. Eventually, the incident came to light due to Bu Shiren's sudden death and the corruption of the county magistrate. After going through ups and downs, Gu Yitong suddenly realized that Mai Xiaowan also resolutely gave up her career and went to her husband for the sake of love and family. After the emotional redemption and the ups and downs of the world, the two drank together, chanted Li Qingzhao's words, and found their lost original intention and deep love in the soft autumn wind. This book takes Gu Yitong's journey to the north to start a business and his emotional ups and downs as the main line, and outlines a realistic picture of the entanglement between officials and businessmen and the fission of marriage. Through a large number of dialogues and inner world monologues, the author deeply explores the huge temptations, emotional tearing, family and love that contemporary people face, and provides enlightenment to people.
