A completed manuscript: Synopsis: In high school, Jiang Tong slept through class and played video games after school. His dream was to become a professional esports player. He went to prison for chasing after a girl, who wisely and decisively dumped him. When Jiang Tong got out, he had no education, no skills, and no money. He had completely ruined his life. Unable to face his hometown, he moved to an unfamiliar city, rented a run-down apartment with a roommate, and made ends meet by running a street stall. He was so destitute he could barely afford to eat. Wei Chen's parents were divorced. After graduating from college, he worked selling houses at a small real estate agency, running himself ragged. The two roommates had both been dealt terrible hands. Wei Chen suggested they band together for warmth. Jiang Tong, who was scraping by on next to nothing, couldn't resist the temptation of clinging to a leg that wasn't all that thick, and shamelessly agreed. After talking it over, the two set themselves a modest first goal: earn a hundred million. Then they went charging ahead on the road to their hundred million. Theme: The good and evil in human nature.
