   I recommend the novel "The Bank Manager's Dead End," a workplace romance with sophisticated political intrigue. It tells the story of Ma Yuquan, a bank manager who, initially ambitious and determined to serve her country through finance, is gradually swayed and loses herself in the face of power and unscrupulous capital, ultimately leading to her downfall. The novel is fast-paced, well-written, and richly plotted, featuring elements such as best friend stealing her boyfriend, the protagonist secretly giving birth at an advanced age while single, and scheming a legal adoption.

Xuemei had already prepared a table full of delicious food, opened a bottle of red wine, and lit two candles. "This is clearly a candlelight dinner. A welcome dinner doesn't need to be this elaborate. And she said her brother's two children were here, where are they? Where did they go?" Lin Qi wondered. "Are you wondering about something? While you were sleeping, I had my brother take the two children to reunite with our parents for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I said I had something to do, so I didn't go!" Xuemei seemed preoccupied. "Oh, thank you, Xuemei. You've worked so hard for me." Lin Qi suddenly felt a pang of guilt. "Do you remember many, many years ago, also during the Mid-Autumn Festival? I didn't go home that night; I spent it with you. We ate at a roadside noodle shop. You were reluctant to spend money, so you ordered two bowls of knife-cut noodles. You didn't ask for an egg, but you added one for me. That was the happiest meal I've ever had." Xuemei spoke with a happy smile, but her eyes grew increasingly red. "Yes, the next day your mother found me. She said she wanted to transfer you to another school in another city, worried it would affect your studies." Lin Qi was lost in memories again. He remembered her mother's words of denial, disdain, and humiliation. Those words made him feel inferior and ashamed. He hadn't told Xuemei the truth. So many years had passed; wasn't it better to keep it buried in his heart? Of course, those hurtful words also provided him with the motivation to strive. If he hadn't experienced those things, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

    A Discussion of Wealth and Poverty in Chang'an: During the Yuanshou era of the Western Han Dynasty, two families lived in the East and West Markets of Chang'an. Zhang Jing, a hemp weaver in the East Market, lived a meager existence, his shop small, barely scraping by weaving a few bolts of coarse hemp each day. Li Mu, in the West Market, was a renowned salt merchant, his house and shop connected, his home overflowing with gold and silver, always surrounded by attendants, and everyone called him "Li the Ten Thousand Guan" (a reference to his immense wealth). However, the people of Chang'an gradually realized that the two men's "wealth" was not the same thing at all. Zhang Jing was a skilled craftsman, weaving thick and durable hemp cloth that was popular with both commoners and farmers. He rose before dawn every day to spin thread, working until sunset, his hands calloused, his clothes always bearing the rough texture of hemp thread. He didn't earn much, but he lived a very disciplined life: each month he would set aside money for rice and grain, save a sum for "emergency funds," and only dared to spend the rest in small amounts. His wife often urged him to weave more cloth and raise the price, but he shook his head: "Enough to eat and wear is enough. If I weave too hastily, the cloth won't be strong, and it will ruin my reputation." One winter, Zhang Jing's elderly father suddenly developed a severe cough and was wheezing heavily at night. His wife was so worried that she burst into tears: "We just used our emergency money to treat our neighbor Wang Erwa's leg injury. What are we going to do?" Zhang Jing, however, remained calm. He took the few coins he had and went out. Just as he reached the alley entrance, he met the owner of the grain store who often bought cloth from him: "Brother Zhang, I heard your uncle is sick? I have some money here. You can take it to see a doctor first, and I'll pay for the cloth later." Immediately afterward, Old Li, who sold medicine next door, also handed over a few packets of cough medicine: "Try it on your uncle first. The money isn't urgent." It turned out that Zhang Jing was always willing to lend a hand to his neighbors when they were in trouble: Wang Erwa was poor and couldn't afford to treat his leg, so he took out his savings; Old Li's grandson couldn't afford writing materials, so he exchanged his leftover hemp thread for paper and pens and sent them to him. Now that he was in trouble, everyone naturally rushed to help. After a doctor was brought in, his father's condition gradually improved. Zhang Jing wrote down everyone's kindness, and every day, besides weaving cloth, he would also weave a few extra handkerchiefs and a few pairs of hemp shoes, secretly delivering them to each household. His wife smiled and said, "We're not well-off to begin with, yet you're always thinking of helping others." Zhang Jing put down his shuttle: "Money is for solving problems. If I help others out of trouble, when we're in trouble, someone will naturally help us. Isn't that more reassuring than holding onto money?" Later, when his son reached school age, the private tutor, having heard of Zhang Jing's character, offered to let the child audit the classes for free: "The offspring of such a kind-hearted person should be educated and knowledgeable." Zhang Jing felt indebted and sent the private school some pickled vegetables and hemp cloth he had woven himself every day. Although life was hard, it was filled with warmth. In contrast, Li Mu of the West Market was a man who valued money more than life itself. He monopolized the salt transport in Chang'an's West Market, making a fortune, yet he remained extremely stingy. His servants ate leftovers, and he wouldn't even allow his wife to buy him an embroidered dress, saying, "It's all show and no substance, a complete waste." When a relative's child went to the capital to study and wanted to borrow some travel expenses, he refused to see him. When his fellow villagers suffered a drought and the neighbors pooled their money for disaster relief, he only threw out a few coins, muttering, "A bunch of paupers, it's a waste of money." He often told his steward, "The more money I have, the safer I am. Once I've saved enough, I won't be afraid even if the world is in chaos." But fate is unpredictable. The imperial court suddenly cracked down on the salt and iron monopoly, Li Mu's salt shop was shut down, most of his property was confiscated, and he was left with a tax debt to the government. He tried to ask his relatives and friends for help, but he had offended everyone in the past, and no one was willing to help him. An old shopkeeper advised him, "Master Li, if you had been willing to help others in the past, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state now." Li Mu was filled with remorse, but he could only sell his remaining jewelry and jade to pay off his debts, ultimately ending up making a living by selling firewood. Once, Zhang Jing went to the West Market to buy thread and encountered the ragged Li Mu. Li Mu looked at Zhang Jing, who, despite wearing coarse linen clothes, had a peaceful expression and was accompanied by his son returning from school, and couldn't help but sigh, "I once had a fortune, but now I'm not even as wealthy as you, a weaver." Zhang Jing handed him a piece of dry food, saying, "Brother Li, money is just an external thing. True wealth is being able to ensure the health of your elders, the education of your children, to lend a helping hand to relatives and friends in times of trouble, and to buy things you like without hesitation. If a person is narrow-minded and fixated on money, even if they have a lot of money, they will still be poor, with only money left." Li Mu stood there for a long time after hearing this. Later, he followed Zhang Jing's example, helping his neighbors fetch water and chop firewood, and using his savings to help the poor. Although he remained poor, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and his neighbors slowly accepted him. This reached the ears of Zhang Tang, the then Prefect of Jingzhao, who summoned Zhang Jing and asked him about his views on "wealth." Zhang Jing bowed and said, "Your Excellency, poverty and wealth are not determined by the amount of gold and silver. A healthy father, a well-educated child, mutual assistance from relatives and friends, and fulfillment of one's desires—that is true wealth. Money can solve these problems, so use it to the fullest; if one is burdened by money, one loses sight of its true purpose." Zhang Tang deeply agreed and relayed Zhang Jing's words to his subordinates. Gradually, the principle of "contentment is wealth" spread throughout Chang'an. People no longer blindly pursued wealth, but instead learned from Zhang Jing, treating others with kindness and helping those within their means. Years later, Zhang Jing grew old and could no longer weave cloth. His neighbors took turns caring for him, and his son also achieved academic success, becoming an upright official. Later, the people of Chang'an's East Market erected a wooden plaque at the spot where Zhang Jing had once run his shop, inscribed with the words, "True wealth lies in the heart, not in gold and silk." This story has been passed down through generations, telling people that true wealth is not about accumulating riches, but about the peace and well-being of family, harmonious relationships with friends, and a tranquil mind. Once you understand this, even a simple life can be lived by someone everyone envies as a "rich person."
