They All Call Me Young and Promising

When 17-year-old Wen Jingran walked out of school with a notice of dismissal in hand, behind him were the regrets of his teachers, the doubts of his relatives and friends, and in front of him was a city with flashing neon lights but no place to stay. With no diploma from a prestigious school to serve as a stepping stone, and no connections to pave the way, he started as a kitchen helper in a restaurant. He used the money he saved through frugality to learn skills and run businesses. During the day, he ran among the crowds and at night, he read professional books in a rental house. Some people laughed at him for being young and impulsive and leaving his future behind; others advised him to go back and repeat his studies and take the "right path". But he decided to try his luck on this road that no one was optimistic about - starting from a small business on the street, to leading the implementation of projects, from being rejected by customers, to becoming a "young boss" praised by everyone in the industry. Those who once questioned him eventually turned into praises that "he is really young and promising." This is not a smooth counterattack, but a boy who dropped out of school, using his tenacity to fight for his own future in the city.
