Under the willow tree in the evening, Hao Chuanqing sat quietly, playing with a business card in his hand, the handwriting on it was mysterious and tempting: "The road is a little dirty, but it can keep you from going to work." He got it by chance, and despite his doubts, his curiosity made him want to find out.
Hao Chuanqing used to be a hard-working white-collar worker, working from 9 to 5 every day, running for life. However, the pressures of life made him feel tired and he began to yearn for a different way of life. This business card seems to have opened a door to a new world for him.
He hesitated to dial the number on his business card, and a deep voice came from the other end of the line, telling him of the existence of an underground market. There, there are all kinds of illegal but tempting trades that can be made with great profits as long as you are willing to take risks.
Hao Chuanqing was full of contradictions in his heart, he knew that such a path was not clean, and it might even be illegal. But he also longs to get out of the status quo and live a freer life. In his inner struggle, he finally decided to go to that market.
The market is bustling beyond his imagination, and all kinds of transactions are carried out in secret. Hao Chuanqing observed cautiously, trying to find a path that suited him. He saw people who quickly amassed wealth through illegal transactions, and also saw people fall into the abyss and couldn't extricate themselves.
In the process, Hao Chuanqing meets a man named Ajie. Applejack used to be an ordinary office worker, but in this market, he found his "career" and made a lot of money through illegal means. Ajie persuaded Hao Chuanqing to join him and share the profits of this market.
However, after gaining an in-depth understanding, Hao Chuanqing began to realize the cruelty and ruthlessness of this market. He sees Applejack with wealth, but she has lost her freedom and peace of mind. He began to reflect on his choices, was he really willing to give up everything for money?
After a series of twists and turns, Hao Chuanqing finally decided to leave the market and return to a normal life. He understood that true happiness is not money and benefits obtained through illegal means, but peace of mind and tranquility.
Under the willow tree in the evening, Hao Chuanqing tore up the business card and threw it into the trash. He took a deep breath and felt the air of freedom. He knew that although there was still a long way to go, he had found his way.
