00:00The chairman was attracted by the billboard in front of a little boy.
00:02He curiously asked the little boy why he wanted a toolbox.
00:05The little boy answered that he wanted to use the toolbox to help repair phones for others to earn money.
00:09The chairman was very surprised to learn that he could repair phones.
00:12He continued by asking how much the toolbox cost.
00:15The little boy replied, $80.
00:16The chairman pretended it was too expensive and got up to leave.
00:20Unexpectedly, the little boy called after him.
00:22He explained that he had already visited six wholesale markets.
00:24After comparing prices, $80 was indeed the lowest in the market.
00:27He had already saved $30.
00:30He only needed the chairman to invest $50 to become his partner.
00:33It was precisely the little boy's sincerity that moved the chairman.
00:36The chairman took out $50 and proposed a condition.
00:38He said he would stay in the city for two days.
00:40He required the little boy to find a way to return the $50 within those two days.
00:44He also demanded an extra $1 in interest.
00:46At the same time, the little boy had to show him the results of the repairs during these two days.
00:50The little boy agreed without hesitation.
00:52Little did he know that the chairman's act of kindness would completely change his fate.
00:55Soon, two days passed.
00:57The toolbox was filled with customers' phones waiting to be repaired.
01:00The little boy also awaited the chairman's arrival to inspect his work.
01:03He clutched $51 tightly in his hand, ready to return the money to the chairman.
01:07But even after waiting until nighttime, the chairman did not appear.
01:10The little boy silently vowed to return the money to his partner.
01:12In the blink of an eye, 15 years passed.
01:14Now, the chairman was facing workers demanding their wages.
01:17The company's entrance was completely surrounded.
01:19The chairman sat restlessly in his office.
01:21He questioned his secretary about why the company's cash flow had inexplicably vanished.
01:25At that moment, the three adopted children of the chairman strode in boldly.
01:28The chairman originally thought they had come to help him raise funds to overcome the difficulties.
01:32But to his surprise, they arrogantly demanded that he relinquish the company's shares.
01:36They claimed that in exchange, they would help resolve the company's financial shortfall.
01:39Upon hearing this, the chairman realized that the conglomerate's funds had been transferred by his three adopted sons.
01:44The company had now become an empty shell.
01:46Facing a collective wage claim from the workers, the adopted sons, believing they had all the cards in hand, nonchalantly turned and left.
01:52But just after they left, the chairman received a phone call.
01:55It turned out that his mother had been diagnosed with end-stage liver cancer, with surgery costs reaching $5 million.
02:00Yet the company account did not have a single penny.
02:03The chairman was already pushed to the edge, but he still did not choose to avoid the problem.
02:07He instructed his secretary to push him downstairs.
02:09Just as he stepped out, a brick flew toward him.
02:11Although the chairman sustained an injury on his forehead, he repeatedly told the secretary that he was fine, explaining that he owed the workers their wages.
02:18It was entirely understandable that the workers had lost control of their emotions.
02:22While speaking, the chairman had his secretary help him up onto a table.
02:25He calmed the workers' emotions, causing them to settle down.
02:28Then he apologized to them, promising that even if he had to sell his car or house, he would certainly repay their debts.
02:33He even knelt before the workers, hoping that they would give him a little more time.
02:37The chairman's sincerity moved the workers.
02:39They all voluntarily dispersed.
02:40Subsequently, the chairman ordered his secretary to liquidate all his assets to see how much money could be gathered.
02:45Immediately afterwards, he met with his mother.
02:48He explained that he was currently facing a cash flow crisis, and hoped that his mother would lend him the money for her surgery as an emergency measure.
02:54His mother nodded in agreement without hesitation, saying that since she was already advanced in age, curing her illness was no longer important.
03:00The hard-working money of the workers was what mattered most.
03:03His mother's words made him feel even more guilty.
03:05Originally, he should have done everything in his power to cure his mother.
03:08But now, the workers were urgently in need of the wages owed to them.
03:11He could not stand by and watch the workers' families be ruined.
03:14His mother understood his difficulties well.
03:16Seeing his hair turning white made her sad in her heart.
03:18She told him to proceed as he saw fit and expressed her everlasting support for him.
03:22At that moment, the chairman's phone rang.
03:24The secretary said that even after selling all his assets, he was still $6 million short of repaying the workers' debts.
03:29The chairman thought of his old schoolmate.
03:31In the past, when his old schoolmate started his business, the chairman had supported him single-handedly.
03:35Now that his company was in trouble, the other party should also help him, so he decided to try his luck.
03:40He immediately asked his old schoolmate to lend him $5 million.
03:43Unexpectedly, the old schoolmate, ungrateful, refused to lend him the money.
03:47Because back then, when the old schoolmate had borrowed $2,000 from him, the chairman had taken several days to finally agree to lend the money.
03:53Therefore, the old schoolmate harbored resentment.
03:55He demanded that the chairman kneel and cowdaw before he would lend him the money.
03:59In order to repay the wages owed to the workers, the chairman knelt down.
04:02But the old schoolmate once again broke his promise.
04:05Simply because the chairman had always been superior to him in the past.
04:08Now he finally had the chance to trample the chairman underfoot.
04:10And he has a surprise for the chairman.
04:12Then the chairman's three children walked in.
04:14Hearing them call their old classmate godfather, he realized that his three children and the old schoolmate were in cahoots.
04:19The adopted son also admitted that it was their godfather's idea to transfer the assets and let the company go bankrupt.
04:24Just as they demanded that the chairman sign the company's asset transfer agreement.
04:28The little boy whom the chairman had once assisted 15 years ago appeared.
