In the following days, Zhang Sanmao did not bother Jiang Chen again, but he occasionally cast a sinister look at him during class.
Jiang Chen looked back calmly. Even though he knew that Zhang Sanmao was obviously plotting something bad, he was not too upset. First, he understood Zhang Sanmao's style of doing things. Second, not only was Zhang Sanmao plotting against him, he was also plotting against Zhang Sanmao. If Zhang Sanmao did nothing, it would be difficult for him to take action.
In addition to being wary of Zhang Sanmao's attempts to trip him up, Jiang Chen's most important task now is to familiarize himself with his current learning progress and separate in his mind what he learned in the interstellar era from what he is learning now.
In his previous life, Jiang Chen started working at the Alliance Research Institute when he was less than 20 years old. From then on, he spent all his time doing experimental research and studying. The knowledge he accumulated in the process was extremely vast. It is no exaggeration to say that the things in his mind could completely set off a technological revolution in today's world.
But a knowledge system that is too large and advanced is not always a good thing, and it even caused Jiang Chen some minor troubles.
Before Jiang Chen returned to this body, it was exactly one hundred years in the star calendar. This was the year when humans left the original Milky Way and headed for another galaxy to re-develop civilization. Before arriving at the new galaxy, the development of human civilization was already far ahead of it now.
If the records of "Original Galaxy History" that Jiang Chen had chosen to take were not too wrong, the time interval between the current Earth and the galaxy where he lived in his previous life was nearly five hundred years, and these five hundred years did not include the time that humans traveled between the stars during migration.
Including the one hundred years of the Star Calendar, that is nearly six hundred years, which is enough time for science and technology to develop in leaps and bounds, and enough time to overturn many previous theories and produce more new schools of thought. Whether it is mathematics, physics or chemistry, they have all been buried, risen and innovated in the course of time.
Fortunately, human civilization will always be the cornerstone of science and technology. No matter how long time passes, the amazing achievements of our ancestors have been passed down. Fortunately, because Jiang Chen has lived a second life, he pays special attention to ancient civilizations with a nostalgic mood, so it is not difficult for him to adapt to returning to the classroom now.
The only trouble is changing ideas. For example, the algorithm of a math problem is not the same as the formula used in the interstellar era. The formulas of later generations are faster and more efficient. Jiang Chen has become accustomed to the algorithms of later generations. It would be very awkward to use the previous formulas at this time.
It's like getting used to a high-speed optical computer and then going back to using a bulky desktop computer. Although you can use it, it still takes some time to get used to it.
Jiang Chen has been adapting as quickly as possible during this period of time.
Fortunately, he has always been very adaptable, otherwise he would not have been able to get up quickly after such a difficult blow in his first life, nor would he have been able to remain calm in such a short time after traveling through time and space due to an unexpected car accident, nor would he have been able to quickly accept reality and sort out his feelings after being reborn again.
After school on Saturday, Shen Xu invited Jiang Chen to his house to play.
Jiang Chen knew Shen Xu's good intentions, but still refused. The reason was simple. Now he just wanted to solve the family crisis as soon as possible and spend more time with his parents.
After his parents passed away in his first life, he felt a sense of belonging and a sense of being adrift with no place where he could feel truly at ease, which lasted for two lifetimes. Now that he is back, he will definitely cherish everything he has now and will not allow anyone to destroy it.
On the way home, Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and thought.
The book that suddenly appeared in his house was called "Dominating Life".
He has always had a very good memory. At first, he just flipped through the book casually before going to bed. Even though the cannon fodder at the beginning had the same name as him, he didn't think much about it. It was not until he read the middle of the book, when the cannon fodder with the same name as him died exactly like him, and even the conversation between the protagonist and the system in the book was exactly the same as the conversation he heard before his death, that he began to take it seriously.
At that time, Jiang Chen was already feeling tired from a day of meetings, but when he saw that paragraph, his mind suddenly became clear. He read the book from beginning to end again and memorized all the contents.
In the book, the protagonist He Qianjian is a time traveler. Before he traveled through time, he was frustrated and believed that he was talented and capable, but every opportunity was snatched away by those who had a better family background, more money, and more connections than him. He hated the injustice of God and felt that there was no good person in the world. Everyone was a snob and looked down on him as a poor boy.
So when the unexpectedly dead fetus was brought into the delivery room and was bound to a system called "The Optimal Selection System", He Qianjian, who was then called Zhang Dafa, immediately realized that the counterattack he had dreamed of had come. So between the options of "ordinary biological parents" and "rich non-biological parents" given by the system for the first time, he chose the wealthy non-biological parents without hesitation.
At that time, Zhang Dafa thought that since they were not his biological parents anyway, he would be stupid not to choose the rich ones.
But Zhang Dafa, no, it should be said that the male protagonist who has been named He Qianjian did not expect that the rich mentioned by the system is actually so rich. Not only rich, but also with a very high social status.
The old man of the He family has made great achievements in war and has three children. The eldest, He Yanjun, inherited his father's ambition, the second, He Yanya, focused on scientific research, and the third, He Yanfeng, devoted himself to business and is doing very well in the mall.
The child that was swapped by the system was He Yanfeng's child.
He Yanfeng has been a maverick since he was a child. His brothers and sisters either like to play with guns and sticks or like to read, which can be said to be inherited from their parents' specialties. However, He Yanfeng has liked to sell things to make money since elementary school. He is quick-witted and generous and loyal. With the protection of his parents and brothers and sisters, he has been smooth sailing all the way.
As a quick-witted person, he fell in love early in that conservative era. His affair with Mrs. He, Yang Yun, caused a lot of controversy and he even broke off relations with his family for a while. It was not until the birth of He Yanfeng and Yang Yun's first child, who was also the eldest grandson of the He family, that the relationship between the He family and He Yanfeng and his wife eased.
As the eldest grandson of He Yanfeng's eldest son, and also the bond that eases the relationship between the two sides, He Qianjian is naturally the center of everyone's attention. It is no exaggeration to say that he is held in the palm of one's hand for fear of dropping it, or held in one's mouth for fear of melting it.
He Qianjian is not a child. He has the mind of an adult and an "optimal choice system" in his hands. He naturally knows how to do things to be loved by his parents and elders.
When he was young, he was well-behaved and sensible. He didn't make any noise and liked to play chess with his grandfather the most. After going to school, he had excellent grades, leaving his classmates far behind. The school even allowed him to be exempted from all small tests and only take major tests such as midterms and finals. After graduation, he joined He Yanfeng's company and won several large orders for the company within half a year. He successfully gained everyone's recognition. Within two years, he took over the management of the company from He Yanfeng and became a well-known investment genius.
He has had a smooth journey. He is the pride of his parents, a role model to his siblings, and a confidant to his friends. He is a complete winner in life.
It is this kind of enviable life, the money, power and flattery and support from others that makes He Qianjian feel elated and at the same time reluctant to give up everything he has now. He will never allow himself to turn back into the Zhang Dafa in his previous life who could be stepped on by anyone.
And Jiang Chen, the real eldest son and grandson of the He family who was replaced by the system, is a thorn in He Qianjian's heart, a bomb that can explode at any time. Although the system tells him that it is impossible for anyone to find out, he still can't sleep at night and can't feel at ease if he doesn't rule out this hidden danger.
At first, He Qianjian only sent people to monitor Jiang Chen and pass on all the information about Jiang Chen to him.
During that period, He Qianjian was happiest every day when he listened to his subordinates report on how Jiang Chen, who was supposed to be a favored child, was depressed and miserable because of money. Sometimes, if Jiang Chen was doing well, he would even ask people to find some fun for him.
Just as He Qianjian hoped, after his father became paralyzed due to lack of timely medical treatment and committed suicide for fear of burdening the family, and his mother had to work overtime to pay for the medical expenses and Jiang Chen's tuition, and finally died of illness due to overwork, Jiang Chen finally couldn't bear the blow and dropped out of school.
Since then, He Qianjian felt that Jiang Chen could no longer pose any threat to him. He was also busy with graduation matters and had not paid attention to Jiang Chen for a long time.
But who would have thought that in less than two years, Jiang Chen and his two mediocre friends opened a company together, and luckily they even made a little name for themselves in the industry. Even He Yanfeng couldn't help but mention it when he returned home, saying that the boss of that company, Shen Xu, had the style of him back then, and told He Qianjian that he could make friends with him if they met in the business world in the future, predicting that the company would achieve great success in the future.
Although he was talking about Chen Xu, He Qianjian's mind automatically replaced it with Jiang Chen. At that moment, he even thought about what would happen to him if the He family knew that Jiang Chen was their child.
He Qianjian didn't dare to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more irritable and anxious he became. He began to have trouble falling asleep, and when he fell asleep he would have nightmares. He dreamed that Jiang Chen returned to the He family in glory, that he was kicked out in a miserable state, and that Jiang Chen and he were in reverse positions, and he looked down on him and called him a thief.
Those dreams tortured He Qianjian so much that his hair fell out in clumps and he quickly lost weight. Even He’s family members noticed that something was wrong with him and ordered him to go to the hospital for a check-up.
How could He Qianjian dare to go to the hospital? From childhood to adulthood, he didn't even dare to get sick for fear of being discovered by the He family. Even his physical examination would be postponed to the day of Jiang Chen's physical examination every year, and he would go to the same hospital with him and let the system help him replace the blood for blood draw.
Now he couldn't find a reason to ask Jiang Chen to have a physical examination, so how could he dare to go to the hospital and risk being discovered.
Living in constant fear and panic, He Qianjian decided to kill. With the help of the system, he arranged a flawless murder. To be cautious, he never showed up in person from beginning to end, but ordered his followers who had been under his command since his student days to do the work.
So, on a day when there were thunder and lightning and the car radio reminded people to be careful when traveling, an overloaded truck, trying to avoid a car with brake failure, hit Jiang Chen who was returning from visiting his parents' grave.
The accident that day caused a chain of car accidents. The scene was extremely chaotic. He Qianjian's men mixed in and took enough blood from Jiang Chen without leaving any trace for He Qianjian to use for future physical examinations, and then set Jiang Chen's car on fire.
The explosion happened suddenly, but the rain quickly washed away all traces of the scene.
In the end, this tragic car accident that attracted the attention of many people triggered a discussion on whether people should drive out on rainy days. The people who died in the car accident, like the rainstorm that came and went quickly, did not leave a trace.
