"He Jin, where have you been?" Gu Hai had been busy all through the New Year, trying to reach old friends, hoping they'd lend a hand so the Gu Family's situation could get a bit better. He wasn't even hoping to get back to how things used to be, just some improvement, at least so the textile factory wouldn't keep losing money.
Who would've thought, back when the Gu Family was rich, these people were all eager, calling him "Brother Gu" and "Old Gu" like they were so close. Now, they're turning their backs, pretending not to know him, every one of them making excuses.
Gu Hai was fuming, and right then, he ran into He Jin.
He Jin looked way better this year than last. He wore a crisp suit, had his hair slicked back with gel, shining and neat—looked every bit like a rich guy, totally different from how he was before.
"Boss Gu, happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity." He Jin smiled at Gu Hai, acting just like he used to.
