But after a chance encounter with Wu Ru Fu, a well-established banker, and his daughter, Li Zi, Yi Zhi finds a dream and the will to pursue it, something he’s never had before. Giving up his life in the shops, Yi Zhi enters the world of finance. With his quick wit and natural skill, he soon catches the eye of Boss Huang, one of the biggest players in the banking industry. Quickly earning Boss Huang’s trust, Yi Zhi soon finds himself the boss’s closest confidante.
