   His first paycheck was 320 yuan, which he clutched tightly in an envelope the whole way home, his palms sweating. He bought two steamed buns and a bottle of water, saving the rest. His colleagues laughed at him, saying he lived like an ascetic, but he didn't explain. Six months later, he had saved 5,000 yuan and enrolled in night school to learn accounting. Every night after class, he would return to his work shed and study until 2 a. M. Two years later, he passed his accounting exam, quit his job at the dock, and joined a small company as a cashier. The boss thought he lacked experience and paid him minimum wage, but he didn't complain. He was always the first to arrive and the last to leave, meticulously reviewing every single transaction. Six months later, he discovered the boss's tax evasion record. He proactively spoke to the boss, who was terrified and threatened to fire him. He placed a complete, well-organized report on the table: "I won't report you, but you have to promote me and give me a raise. Otherwise, this report will be at the tax bureau tomorrow." The boss immediately signed off on promoting him from cashier to finance manager. Three years later, the company was acquired by a large corporation. He held backups of all the financial data and became the new boss's most trusted confidant. The suit he wears now is a hundred times more expensive than the tattered cotton-padded coat he wore in the construction shed back then, but every night on his way home, he still passes by that steamed bun shop and buys two buns. This book doesn't tell a legend; it tells the truth that intelligence is more effective than brute force. Want to see your own reflection? Open it! 🔥
