Windfall is both calamity and destiny. Only by guarding your heart and not being greedy can you avoid disaster.
When Lin Yan was thirty years old, he won the lottery. After 100 million tax, you get 80 million.
At that time, he was the most inconspicuous contract worker in the county government service center, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, no establishment, and was yelled at by his colleagues. He was overwhelmed by the mortgage loan and his father's medical expenses. The four-year-old son was lying on the toy store window looking at a Transformers. He sweated out the thirty-two dollars he had in his pocket, and finally said, "Next month."
Then a windfall fell from the sky.
This money can turn him over overnight, or drag him into the abyss. Relatives swarmed over, colleagues suddenly became warm, and powerful wolves sniffed the scent and came around to hunt. From one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, from wooing to threatening, from rumors to framing - every step is a torture of conscience.
And when he stepped into officialdom, the 80 million was no longer a source of confidence, but a touchstone. Under the crushing power of power, he was suspended, isolated, and falsely accused. He carried it alone, and almost couldn't bear it several times.
Fortunately, there is a hermit in the depths of the city who has warned me, and a good wife at home has repeatedly warned me - "Windfall is both a calamity and a fate. Only by guarding your heart and not being greedy can you avoid disaster."
This is the story of a little man walking into Vanity Fair with a huge fortune. It is also an ordinary person who spends his life answering a question: when fate puts something that can change everything into your hands, can you still hold on to yourself?
From a contractor to a director, from 80 million to 70 million donations dissipated anonymously, Lin Yan spent twenty years to prove that he never loses his kindness when he is poor, and never changes his heart when he is rich.
In the end, his greatest wealth was not the windfall, but the peace of mind he felt when he lay down every night.
