Tong Lei's admiration for Wang Chen was heartfelt.
For Wang Chen possessed a quality that most people do not have.
As the old saying goes, "One must not be aimless in poverty, nor forgetful of one's roots in wealth."
In Tong Lei's mind, most people, when poor, would set lofty ambitions for wealth and struggle tirelessly for that purpose.
But once these individuals attained wealth and glory, very few would look back to those who helped them in their poverty, even fewer would help and support those who had been kind to them.
After all, this is human nature's flaw.
When a person holds immense benefits, they tend to develop endless selfish desires, unwilling and reluctant to share those benefits with others.
Yet, Wang Chen had managed to do just that.
When he was poor, he used sweat and effort to strengthen his own abilities.
And when he had acquired knowledge and capabilities, he did not choose to stay in the big cities to enjoy riches, but resolutely returned here.
