A young man who walked out of a ravine, a bowl of rice noodles that changed his destiny, and a Maybach that was out of reach.
In 1997, sixteen-year-old Chen Mo came to YZ City from the ravines of the Dabie Mountains with two hundred yuan in his pocket and a pair of cloth shoes with exposed toes. He worked as a handyman at Zhangji Rice Noodle Shop, washing dishes, cutting vegetables, and serving dishes, earning 300 yuan a month.
He thought that as long as he was willing to endure hardship, he could survive in the city.
He met Xiaoli, a female clerk at a rice noodle shop. She was beautiful, smart, and well-spoken. She was the most dazzling girl on the street. She made Chen Mo know what heartbeat was for the first time, and she also made him know what gap was for the first time.
"If one day I can ride in the passenger seat of a Maybach, I will be so happy that I can't sleep for a month." Xiaoli said, pointing to a black luxury car on the side of the road.
Chen Mo didn't know what a Maybach was. He is just a poor boy from the countryside.
Xiaoli is different. She was born in a town. She knows what good things are and how to get them.
When Zhao Zihao, the prince of the Hutou Gang, appeared in front of the rice noodle shop in a Maybach, Xiaoli's eyes lit up. That man was rich, powerful, and ostentatious, and could give her everything she wanted—a white dress that she had saved for two months to buy, a meal at a high-end restaurant, and a passenger seat in a luxury car.
Chen Mo could only stand under the streetlight and watch the Maybach's taillights disappear into the night.
That year, there were many gangs in YZ City, and the world was turbulent. The Hutou Gang occupies the pier and is extremely powerful; and a new gang called the Kuixue Gang
