In the cold winter of the Northeast in the 1990s, the wind and snow covered the fireworks in the city, but also concealed the warmth and coldness of the world.
Young Chen Jiu is helpless, with only a pair of penetrating eyes and a precise calculation, able to see through the gains and losses of human relationships and calculate the gains and losses in the world. He insisted on fairness and refused to suffer any injustice. Because of a salary, he quit his stable job in a state-owned hotel and crashed into the market on a cold night in the wind and snow.
The brothers who roam the streets, the ruthless people entrenched in the east of the city, the dirty tricks hidden in the accounts, and the disputes hidden in the market are all involved.
A bad debt caused the young man with nothing to step into the world of white mountains and black waters. There is no unreasonable cruelty, only clear sophistication; no reckless fighting, only steady calculation step by step.
This is the ups and downs of the era that belongs to a small town in Northeast China. It is a passionate journey of small people standing on their own hearts and relying on their wisdom, struggling in the wind and snow, and growing up step by step.
