Chapter 1: Force me to be reborn, right?
Wucheng, in an e-commerce park.
Cheng Zhu left the live broadcast room where the female anchor was live streaming and selling goods and returned to his office.
He sat down on the chair, picked up a cigarette skillfully, and then picked up the Dupont lighter on the table.
Cheng Zhu raised his thumb and opened the lid of the lighter, which made a very crisp "ding!"
The official price of his Dupont lighter is 13,200.
According to him, he bought it just for the sound.
In the office, Cheng Zhu smoked unscrupulously and put his feet directly on the desk.
He picked up his phone and opened TikTok, and what caught his eye was his own female anchor, who was working hard to promote products.
Cheng Zhu looked at it for half a minute and then swipe past it.
"I am still very confident in Yiyi's business ability."
Yiyi is the top anchor in his company, and he was the one who brought her up.
She alone could earn him nearly eight figures a year.
There is definitely a gap between this and those top live-streaming hosts who sell goods.
But it was enough for Cheng Zhu to make a fortune.
Cheng Zhu was also nice to her, and in return, he would occasionally discuss large projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars with her in a suite at a star-rated hotel.
There’s no way, Chairman Cheng Zhu, Yiyi is very sensible.
The next Tik Tok video he saw was an interactive one.
The picture says: "If you were given a chance to go back in time and be reborn, would you want it?"
This Douyin video has more than 2,000 comments.
Cheng, who was bored, clicked through them one by one and saw that, as expected, most people said they wanted them.
Some people want to make up for their love, some want to go back to the past to make money, some want to study hard... there are all kinds of people.
Cheng Zhu held a cigarette in his mouth and typed a comment directly: "I don't want to."
Then, there was a picture attached.
That was a screenshot of the balance of one of his bank cards, and there was more than six million in this card alone.
I am young and promising, with more than 6 million in one card. I hope I can be reborn!
Reborn back to the days of poverty and being a loser?
Among this circle of friends, Cheng Zhu is recognized by everyone as the king of bullying. He is the most bullying.
Although showing off is the nature of most people, this guy is really good at showing off!
He lives a more carefree and unruly life than most people.
Unlike some of his friends, who want to pretend to be cool but have to go through roundabout ways.
His comment undoubtedly stood out among thousands of comments.
It didn’t take long for him to receive several replies:
"Where did you find this picture online? It looks so real."
"The mosaic rate will be treated as a fake picture."
"If this were real life, I would call you a big shot if you had six million in one card, but this is TikTok, I can only say you're still a little short of that."
"Damn it, he's pretending!"
"Delete it and I'll post it!"
"I have 10,000 pictures like this in my photo album!"
Cheng Zhu put out the cigarette in the ashtray, smiled indifferently, and would not respond to these comments.
When the cigarette flame was completely extinguished, he suddenly felt dizzy.
The next moment, he completely lost consciousness.
…
…
"Cheng Zhu! Cheng Zhu!"
A female voice began to ring in his ears.
His vision began to gradually return, and he saw a girl with long chestnut hair, standing in front of him with an annoyed look on her face.
There were cigarettes scattered on the ground.
The scene in front of him made Cheng Zhu feel somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.
Next to him and the girl, there were two men and one woman.
One of the boys even said to Cheng Zhu, "Cheng Zhu, why are you pretending to be depressed? Smoking is harmful to your health after all, and you shouldn't talk to Li Xinyue like that."
The next moment, Cheng Zhu felt his head was a little swollen, and many memories that were originally a little fuzzy became clearer and clearer at this moment - damn, the dead memories began to attack me!
He recalled that it was the summer of 2014, the summer after he graduated from high school. He confirmed his relationship with the girl named Li Xinyue, and fell in love for the first time in his life.
This was the first time the two had a big fight, and Li Xinyue proposed breaking up.
Adolescents are somewhat immature and non-mainstream. Heartbroken Cheng Zhu started to learn how to smoke, and he seemed to be smoking on purpose for Li Xinyue to see.
The nature of this is a bit like a girl getting drunk after breaking up, deliberately drinking too much and then calling the boy to explain her pain.
Later, when he thought about how he got into the business world and made outstanding contributions to the country's military spending, he felt really stupid.
The boy who just accused Cheng Zhu was the monitor of their class, Li Rui.
My grades are good, my family is rich, and my dad drives a Mercedes-Benz S350. But the car is actually a Mercedes-Benz S300 with the logo scratched off to read S350.
Li Rui has always liked Li Xinyue. It seems that the fathers of the two families are from the same village, and the two have known each other since childhood.
But how does the saying go?
Green plum is no match for the one that falls from the sky.
Li Rui is not tall and not handsome, unlike Cheng Zhu, who is 182cm tall and looks a bit handsome.
In this first love, the person Cheng Zhu hated the most was Li Rui.
He chatted with Li Xinyue every day under the pretext of being childhood friends. Whenever the young couple had a fight, he would immediately go to Li Xinyue to comfort her and invite her out for dinner and movies, but he always used the pretext of "we grew up together".
Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will try his best to show how gentle and considerate he is. He is a real warm-hearted man.
It’s a pity that at this stage Li Xinyue is still a beauty-obsessed person and has not yet transformed into a materialistic person.
The memory of the death continued to attack Cheng Zhu. He remembered that after the big quarrel, he went to Li Xinyue again in dejection to apologize and make peace.
It was obvious that the quarrel started because she was too dramatic, but for Cheng Zhu at this stage, he would surrender foolishly as soon as she mentioned the word break up.
Of course, the final result was that the two really reconciled, and Li Rui was like a tool man. He counseled Li Xinyue for three days, but was kicked aside by her again and given a good brother card.
Nowadays, it is still popular among students to recognize brothers and sisters.
It's like Xu Song is still singing in the song: "She is just my sister~~"
At this moment, seeing that Cheng Zhu still didn't say a word, Li Rui couldn't help but said, "Cheng Zhu, it's wrong for you to learn to smoke. Didn't you see how angry Xinyue is?"
Among the other man and woman standing nearby, the boy with dark skin and acne said, "Brother Zhu, let's not learn to smoke. It's really bad for our health."
Cheng Zhu glanced at the boy named Wang Anquan and his eyes softened a little.
Wang Anquan’s father is a firefighter. Based on the saying “safety first”, he gave his beloved son this name.
He was Cheng Zhu's desk mate in high school. They lived in the same neighborhood and were close friends during their school days.
As for the girl standing next to Wang Anquan, her name is Chen Rongrong, and she is Li Xinyue’s best friend.
Both of them told Cheng Zhu to stop smoking, but Li Rui took the opportunity to step on him, while Wang Anquan really cared about him.
He turned his head to look at Li Rui, the squad leader who was swinging the hoe relentlessly and only wanted to poach people and successfully get promoted all day long, and smiled with narrowed eyes:
"Do you know this saying: Warm men come after dogs."
You are of such a high rank that you want to steal my girl.
Sorted by status, the ranking of warm-hearted men is lower than that of bootlickers.
Even if I really don't reconcile with Li Xinyue this time, it's not your turn, Feiyangyang.
However, it seems that people don’t have this awareness these days, and “warm man” still seems to be a compliment.
Although Li Rui did not fully understand the meaning of Cheng Zhu's words, anyone who was not stupid would know that he was cursing.
"Cheng Zhu, you... you..."
In front of Li Xinyue, he could not even hold back a "fuck you", maintaining his so-called gentlemanly demeanor and warm man image.
In the end, he just raised his voice slightly and asked: "What do you mean!?"
"What do you mean? Is there any need to ask?" Cheng Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He grinned and said, "I usually don't say embarrassing things, but if I did..."
After Cheng Zhu paused for a moment, his smile became even brighter: "That means I really want to embarrass you."
