"Master Yu, I don't want to disobey your orders and sell drugs!"

"But if we don't sell, someone else will. So why should we give up such a huge profit?"

"Not only do I not understand, my brothers and even the other core members can't figure it out either!"

"Do you know what people outside say about us? They say everyone in our Flame Company is a coward."

"Even those bastards from the Qinglong Gang dared to challenge us and even snatched away all our customers."

"I'm trying to retain customers for Lieyan Company and save its business!"

"If we don't make money, how will we eat?"

Hearing this, Bai Ying finally couldn't hold back his grief and indignation, and loudly questioned: "After all, no matter how high-sounding your words are, it's just for money."

"Is money really that important?"

"It's important." Min Zhi also answered loudly: "Without money, how can I pay for my mother's medical expenses?"

Bai Ying was stunned, "Is your mother sick?"

Bai Ying knew that Min Zhi's father died of illness when he was very young, so he had depended on his mother since he was a child.

No matter how hard life was, Min Zhi's mother persevered and helped Min Zhi finish high school.

However, the cost of going to college is too high, so high that even if you sell all your property, you still cannot afford one year's tuition.

With no other choice, Min Zhicai did not go to college.

Afterwards, Min Zhi went out to work in order to supplement the family income, but unexpectedly became a gangster of the Flame Gang.

However, Min Zhi never dared to tell his mother his real job and only said that he was an accountant in the store.

"Yes, my mother is sick, and it's a very serious illness." Min Zhi shed tears when he thought of his mother. "My mother has been working hard all year round and has become ill. She has lung cancer, in the late stage..."

At this point, Min Zhi was already sobbing.

Not to mention in 1989, even in later generations, cancer is a very scary disease.

Anyone who gets this disease will either wait for death or face high medical expenses.

Especially in the late stages, relying on medical treatment to prolong life is an astronomical cost.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bai Ying scolded.

Min Zhi laughed at himself: "If I tell you, will you be able to help me with my medical expenses? Will you be able to make my mother better?"

Min Zhi's inferiority complex does not allow him to ask for help.

He didn't want Bai Ying to look down on him.

Bai Ying choked up, "Although I can't make your mother better, I can afford all her medical treatment..."

Before Bai Ying could even utter the word "fee", Min Zhi suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter was very sad.

"I don't need your pity. I can make money on my own and heal my mother."

It’s not that Min Zhi has never borrowed money from others. On the contrary, he used to often borrow money from neighbors and relatives.

But the answers he got were all kinds of verbal ridicule, or just excuses that crushed his self-esteem to the ground and stepped on it hard.

He was really fed up with this kind of life of borrowing money.

After graduating from high school, he swore that he would never borrow money from anyone again and would never allow anyone to look down on him again.

Bai Ying: “…”

"If you don't allow me to sell drugs on Lieyan Company's territory, then I won't sell them. I'll quit Lieyan Company right now and take my mother away from Gui City. Is that okay?"
