After his younger brother entered university, he maintained a studious demeanor during his first year, even writing letters to inquire about their father's health. However, in his second year, he met a wealthy woman and fell in love, turning her into his endless source of funds.

He began frequenting bars and the internet, losing all interest in his studies. He eventually cheated his way through to obtain his diploma.

Driven by a lingering sense of shame, he was unwilling to return home to see his parents while in such a down-and-out state.
With the help of the city talent center, he applied to a prominent building materials company.

Finally, the secretary informed him that he had been hired, but with the condition that he must first work as a laborer in the firing workshop.
Feeling aggrieved, he insisted on meeting the GM. The secretary handed him a note. When he unfolded it, eight characters were written on it: "To reach heaven, you must first go to hell." He looked up and saw his elder brother walking in, sitting calmly in the GM's chair. His face burned with immediate shame.
