Hua Yang and Yang Sheng had been close friends since childhood. Unlike Hua Yang, whose family owned a small machine-processing factory—providing them with a comfortable, if not wealthy, living—Yang Sheng’s family background was very modest.
After graduating from university with a degree in financial management, Yang Sheng found himself at a loss. Financial firms rarely hired outsiders; the industry was a tight-knit circle where recruitment relied heavily on personal recommendations. As a penniless student with no connections, he struggled to find work.
It was during this desperate time that Hua Yang extended an olive branch, offering him a position as an accountant at his family's factory. The pay was low, but it kept him fed. Yang Sheng was deeply moved; to him, Hua Yang was a savior who had pulled him back from the brink of starvation.
