Rebirth can change your destiny, but it cannot change your IQ. 7480 disagrees with this statement.
"But Master, after his rebirth, Wu Zirui perfectly avenged ShuVi and ultimately reached the pinnacle of his life. He won."
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "How did he win?"
"Let me see." 7480 flipped through the script while recounting, "He was reincarnated at the age of fourteen. That's right around now. The first thing he did when he came back was to prevent Wu Qiqi from dying in a car accident. Then he found someone to frame you and force you to divorce Wu Qiqi.
"Attention," 7480 tapped the script cover. "An important character appears here: your best friend, Lu Jiangbai, who is also Wu Qiqi's most loyal servant. He and you went to college together, and your relationship was originally very distant. After all, he's a wealthy second-generation, and you're an ordinary person, so there's a social disparity between you.
"However, one time, you were taking Wu Qiqi on a campus tour, and he saw you and was immediately struck by her beauty. Think about it, Zhang Hu is a well-known playboy, with a constant stream of women around him, including some popular celebrities. His tastes are very discerning. A woman who catches his eye must be good-looking.
"Although Wu Qiqi's personality isn't great, her looks are truly stunning, so Lu Jiangbai fell for her instantly.
"Since then, he started to get close to you and gradually became your best friend. He also became close to Wu Qiqi and even adopted Wu Zirui as his godson. He was incredibly kind to the mother and son. If Wu Qiqi asked for the stars in the sky, he would definitely pick the moon as well."
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "Wu Qiqi is a typical gold digger. She'll be with whoever has money. Lu Jiangbai is so well-off, it's impossible for her to not have any thoughts at all, right?"
7480 shook his head and said, "It's not in the script, I don't know."
Zhuang Li hummed softly and waved his hand, saying, "Go on."
"Okay. Lu Jiangbai's role is even more important than Zhang Hu's. He's the protector of Wu Qiqi and Wu Zirui. When Wu Qiqi was wronged by Zhang Hu, he comforted her; when Wu Qiqi was kicked out by Gao Shengqing, he took her in; when Wu Qiqi was bullied by Zhang Hu's confidante, he intervened. In short, he helped Wu Qiqi solve many problems. Without him, Wu Qiqi wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the Zhang family.
"Wu Zirui knew that Lu Jiangbai was a very useful tool, so he intentionally or unintentionally revealed to him that his mother wanted to divorce him but couldn't find an excuse.
"Lu Jiangbai believed it and found a prostitute to seduce you. When you refused, he had the prostitute drug you and then took Wu Qiqi and Wu Zirui to catch you in the act.
"You are an honest man. Although you don't know how you ended up lying naked with a prostitute, you felt very ashamed. So when you divorced, you left the house with nothing and left all your property to the mother and son, including the old house that was to be demolished.
"After getting the old house as he wished, Wu Zirui went to the downstairs of Zhang Group every day because he knew that he looked 80% like Zhang Hu when he was young. There would always be people in the building who knew Zhang Hu and would notice something was wrong.
"Sure enough, after just a few days of wandering around, a Zhang Group executive spotted him, secretly took a photo of him, and sent it to Gao Shengqing and Zhang Hu. Gao Shengqing and Zhang Hu immediately returned to China and hired a private investigator to investigate the mother and son. They also stole Wu Zirui's hair for a DNA test.
"After the results came out, Gao Shengqing and Zhang Hu immediately brought mother and son back to the Zhang family to recognize their ancestral roots. Thus, Wu Zirui suddenly became Zhang Zirui."
7480 said indignantly, "This Wu Zirui is so disgusting! He clearly knew that his biological father was a billionaire, yet he still wanted to take his adoptive father's property! His greed is simply limitless! He schemed against an honest man like you, and you lost your job, your house, and your savings. You were forced to live in poverty, and in the end, you died suddenly from the hard work."
Zhuang Li said calmly, "Pride, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, and cruelty are the criteria your Lord God uses to select the male and female protagonists. You should get used to it."
7480: "...These criteria sound like selecting animals."
Zhuang Li chuckled and asked with interest, "What was ShuVi's ending?"
"How strange! Logically, Wu Zirui should have hated Shu Bi immensely, and upon rebirth, he should have taken vengeance upon her. But he didn't! He continued dating Shu Bi, took her abroad to study, and even got engaged while they were abroad, displaying his deep affection and devotion. He endured this for eight years, only taking action against her after graduating from university and returning home.
"At a party before returning home, he bribed the bartender to slip a new drug into Zhu Bi's drink that was incurable, leading to her addiction. Controlled by drugs, Zhu Bi gradually fell into depravity, and even overdosed, causing the miscarriage of her and Wu Zirui's child.
Wu Zirui seized on this opportunity to rage at Shu Bi and insisted on breaking off their engagement. Since they'd been together, Wu Zirui had always feigned deep affection for her, so Zhu Bi never imagined that her tragic fate was caused by Wu Zirui alone. She instead assumed it was the work of an enemy.
"After the abortion, she felt very guilty and agreed to break off the engagement. She later suffered from depression and committed suicide in a nursing home."
7480 patted the script and said, "Master, you see, Wu Zirui is quite resourceful. He's very patient and has good acting skills, but Zhu Bi eventually fell into his hands. Oh, and the school beauty he had a crush on was also an orphan. To ensure that she wouldn't be snatched away after he and Zhu Bi went abroad, he persuaded Wu Qiqi to adopt her as his goddaughter, bringing her up by his side, and even forbidding her from having a boyfriend."
"After killing Zhu Bi, Wu Zirui naturally ended up with the school beauty. Because he had always excelled in academics and graduated from an Ivy League school, Gao Shengqing valued him so much that she bypassed her son Zhang Hu and handed the Zhang Group over to him. With a multi-billion dollar fortune in his left hand and a peerless beauty in his right, he reached the pinnacle of his life."
7480 sighed and said, "This is Wu Zirui's story, a typical story of rebirth, revenge and counterattack."
Zhuang Li asked, "Does Ming appear in this story?"
"He didn't." 7480 shook his head.
Zhuang Li closed his eyes and pondered: "Then I have to find Ming."
"Just search on the computer. His name must still be Ming." 7480 closed the script and lay down lazily: "Master, I'm going to sleep. Call me if you need anything."
"Well, go to sleep." Zhuang Li used his mental power to conjure up a small quilt and gently covered 7480 with it.
"Have you gained weight?" He looked at 7480's round belly.
7480 immediately took a deep breath and held his stomach in, denying loudly, "I didn't!"
Zhuang Li stared at it for a while and chuckled, "Actually, you're quite cute when you're chubby."
7480 immediately puffed out his belly and admitted, "Master, you're not mistaken. I've really gained weight. Am I cuter than before?"
Zhuang Li was amused by this little idiot and rubbed its belly before leaving his mind.
He picked up his phone and looked at it, but everything was blurry. The original owner was quite nearsighted.
Zhuang Li put the phone in front of his face and barely finished reading the original owner's resume. Then he slowly returned to the office, put on a pair of thick and clumsy black-framed glasses, and quickly collected all the information related to the original owner through the computer.
After understanding everything he needed to know, the financial director who had scolded him earlier came over angrily again.
"You redo this financial report. I want to see it neatly laid out on my desk tomorrow morning."
A pile of thick reports slammed onto the table.
Zhuang Li is 32 years old now. He started working for the Lu Group right after graduating from university. He can be considered a senior veteran and his work performance is very outstanding. He deserves to be the financial director.
The current CFO was only 25 years old, with only two years of work experience, and had no relevant business skills. He was only able to parachute into the Finance Department because of his blood relationship.
Zhuang Li took care of all his work, so he only had to sit in the office, surf the Internet, play games, and live a very comfortable life.
He takes the credit for Zhuang Li's work, but when something goes wrong, Zhuang Li takes all the blame.
To put it bluntly, Zhuang Li was just his free labor.
Lu Jiangbai was not unaware of this situation. He knew exactly what kind of person his cousin was, but he still parachuted him into the Finance Department, taking the position of Financial Director that Zhuang Li should have gotten.
Just based on this two-faced behavior, the friendship between him and Zhuang Li should be questioned.
It’s a pity that Zhuang Li was originally an honest man and would never speculate on other people’s intentions with sinister intentions.
He thought it was the company's decision and Lu Jiangbai had no way to influence it, so he could only endure it. After all, he had a wife and children to support.
But Zhuang Li had no scruples at all.
He brushed the financial statements aside and said in a calm tone, "You have to understand that these statements are supposed to be reviewed by you. It's your job, not mine."
"What did you say?" The CFO was stunned.
"I said this is your job, it has nothing to do with me, I won't help you." Zhuang Li repeated slowly.
The CFO finally reacted and said through gritted teeth, "Zhuang Li, you don't want to do this anymore, do you?"
"Yes, I quit. I'll resign immediately. To be honest, I've tolerated you for a long time. It's you who should take a piss and look at yourself, not me. Without me, who are you? You can't even do addition, subtraction, multiplication or division." Zhuang Li untied his tie and threw it on the table.
The CFO was furious and pointed outside the door, "Okay, you're resigning? Get out of here right now! I want to see if you can handle this department without me!"
This is exactly the result Zhuang Li wanted.
The resignation procedures are very complicated, and he is too lazy to come to the company every few days. He might as well provoke this idiot and leave directly.
He immediately wrote a letter of resignation, sorted out the work at hand, handed it over to other colleagues, and quickly completed the resignation procedures.
The financial director followed him throughout the process. In order to cut off his retreat, he forced the head of the human resources department to sign and stamp the resignation letter on the spot. He also threw Zhuang Li's salary for this month on the ground and walked away arrogantly.
He didn't believe that a company as big as Lu Group would not be able to find someone better than Zhuang Li to do the job.
Zhuang Li bent down and picked up the money dropped on the ground one by one, then left slowly under the sympathetic or contemptuous gazes of the people around him.
Why doesn't he take the reward that belongs to him?
Lu Jiangbai soon received the news of Zhuang Li's resignation and called to ask the reason.
Zhuang Li stood by the roadside, watching the bustling traffic, and said meaningfully, "Lu Jiangbai, don't keep bullying an honest man. If an honest man gets irritated, the consequences can be very serious."
"Zhuang Li, this must be a misunderstanding. Wait, I'll go back to the company and clarify." Lu Jiangbai laughed it off. He neither persuaded Zhuang Li to return to his job, nor apologized on behalf of his cousin, nor did he clearly point out who was right or wrong in this matter.
His attitude towards Zhuang Li was more like a hidden enemy than a friend.
At this moment, he had no idea what kind of disaster this warning would bring.
