Reborn: I Refuse to Be Their ATM

Dylan spent his first life paying for the Mo family. He funded his fiancee Molly's university years, he covered her younger brother's gambling debts as they came, and when there was nothing else left he sold his blood for the money. It ended with him ill and broke on the street and his parents gone. He opens his eyes at the door of a back-alley clinic, on the day Molly is telling him to go in and sell blood again for her brother, and he says no. He walks back into their house and takes his things, the bicycle he bought them and his family's jade bracelet, and he calls off the engagement in front of everyone there. Then he starts working. He knows what the coming years do to prices, so he begins by buying up yellow peaches, and from there he fixes a production problem nobody at the plant can solve, gets around a deputy director who is skimming, sets up a cooperative and pushes it toward shareholding. Xu Xiaoting, a Peking University student, is around for most of it.
