Xue Yang nodded. "Yes, I want to know why Teacher Gong is helping me."
Gong Lee sat back down and began her story. "You remind me of a student I once mentored. He was bold, just like you. Back in his freshman year, he received an offer from the Lin Corporation, but he turned it down to start his own business. The result, as you can imagine, was disastrous. He ended up owing the bank millions and, unable to bear the burden, jumped from the 33rd floor."
Xue Yang listened quietly. Although she spoke calmly about that senior, he could feel the profound sadness behind her serene tone. To see a student she had personally guided meet such an end… her heart must have been broken.
At the same time, he felt a pang of pity for the senior. In business, profits and losses are normal. If you lose money, you just start over. But you only get one life; once it's gone, it's gone for good.
"Teacher Gong, rest assured, I won't follow in that senior's footsteps."
