He is a pitiful human being. He was dumped by his girlfriend because of his poverty, incapability and horrible fashion sense. Resolutely, he decided to start a business to gain back his confident.
However, the path is not easy and it is full wit...

Chi Cheng was just pulling away from the airport when Gangzi called.
"The snakes have been found."
Sitting in the car with his unit's leadership, Chi Cheng maintained a poker face and did not alter his position. He quietly asked, "Where?"
"Army base."
Two brief words followed by a long, long period of silence.
Chi Cheng had considered this possibility earlier because his father's second elder brother was an army officer, and the army also had a snake farm. It was in a free-range area, and there were watchmen, so the risk of detection was very low. His father and his uncle had been quietly competitive with each other for many years. His uncle did not have a son and always kept an envious eye on Chi Cheng secretly hoping he would fail. So if his father went to his uncle, hat in hand, to ask for help, he was basically forfeiting the competition. By admitting that Chi Cheng was not holding down a job, he was conceding that he did a lousy job teaching his son.
To turn matters around, Chi Yuan Duan was prepared to go for broke: he would rather lose face than let Chi Cheng continue his wild ways.
"How did you find them?" Chi Cheng asked.
Gangzi replied, "Today I went to the trading market to have a look around and saw a dealer with a glass tank full of very unusual snake hatchlings. He watched me to see if I looked like a buyer, and then told me on the sly, 'These snakes are very valuable. They were delivered by army troops.' My first thought was that your snakes laid eggs and that the army caretakers saw a chance to make a little money by smuggling a few eggs out and passing them on to the dealer."
"Okay, got it," Chi Cheng said.
Gangzi said, "Later, dude."
Chi Cheng hung up as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
Leaning back in his seat, he closed his eyes in contemplation, thinking about how to extract a large number of snakes intact from the army base. It wouldn't be an easy job. Plus, if the information he had on Chi Yuan Duan's role came to light, it was clear that there would be no way out for the snakes. So he had to come up with an absolutely fool-proof plan for getting the snakes out while playing Chi Yuan Duan as long as possible so his suspicions wouldn't be aroused. That way, hopefully, conditions would remain favorable for pulling off his plan.
