Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's August 7th.
Having been reborn for over a month, he has earned tens of millions. In his previous life, before getting married, he would run out of money and cigarettes every few days before the end of the month. He was a typical "moonlight clan" (living paycheck to paycheck), and his lifestyle was truly miserable.
It's so much better to be reborn. Earning so much money so easily makes me feel incredibly good. It's like someone who's been starving for three days suddenly getting a big loaf of bread – the excitement is indescribable.
In his past life, those internet tycoons were all worth hundreds of billions, which made him envious. Suddenly, a thought arose in his mind that he could also become one of these tycoons. Even if he couldn't get hundreds of billions, tens of billions would be fine, at least he could get acquainted with the tycoons.
It was only August 2010. Wang Xing of Meituan hadn't started his food delivery business yet; he was still working on group buying. But Zhang Xuhao of Ele.me was already running an online restaurant.
He felt that with his memories of his past life, he should be able to compete with Ele.me for market share.
Making mobile phones? Too bad with my limited funds, I probably couldn't even make a mobile phone screen.
Suddenly, Chen Ze felt that his thoughts were getting a bit carried away. He had only earned a few tens of millions, yet he was already thinking about doing this and that. One minute he was thinking about manufacturing mobile phones, and the next he was thinking about starting an online food delivery business.
All sorts of chaotic thoughts raced through his mind, a very dangerous sign. Chen Ze lit a cigarette.
"Hiss..." He took a deep drag of his cigarette, trying to calm himself down. After finishing the cigarette, his heart gradually calmed down.
"Ding ding," his phone's Tencent QQ notification popped up. He opened it and saw a message from Fatty: "What are you doing? Want to go get your college acceptance letter together?"
Chen Ze replied: Go, where are you? I'll come pick you up.
Fatty: I'll be waiting for you at the archway of Dachong Village.
A moment later, the car stopped next to the fat man. Chen Ze looked at him with disdain: shiny black leather shoes, a gold watch on his wrist, a cigarette in his left hand, and an iPhone 4 in his right.
"Fatty, your outfit makes you look like a nouveau riche from a land expropriation settlement."
Fatty handed him a cigarette, then tossed his hair and said, "You've bought a car, how come buying a watch makes me a nouveau riche?"
The fat man walked around the front of the car to get into the passenger seat. When he got to the front, he noticed the license plate, which was valid for both Guangdong and Hong Kong. He immediately squatted down to examine it closely.
"Damn, Aze, why is your license plate different from everyone else's?"
Chen Ze laughed and said, "I love your naive and innocent look. Hurry up and get in the car."
Shortly after, the car stopped in front of the post office, and the two got out of the car and went into the post office hall one after the other.
Two familiar figures came into view; it was Huang Xinyi and Liang Xiaoman. They must have come to pick up their admission notices as well. Soon, the two girls noticed them as well.
Chen Ze and the other person also took their admission notices, and Huang Xinyi glanced at his notice.
"Chen Ze, how come you applied to the same university as me? I knew you were just saying you wanted to break up with me in a fit of anger, right? Otherwise, why would you secretly apply to the same university as me?"
"???"
In his previous life, Chen Ze didn't go to university, so he had no idea which university Huang Xinyi went to.
"Would you believe me if I said Huang Xinyi's situation was a coincidence?"
"Chen Ze, your words have no credibility whatsoever. There are so many universities in China, such as Peking University, Shanghai University, and Sun Yat-sen University, but you chose to go to Shenzhen University just like me. What kind of coincidence is that?"
“Huang Xinyi, you’ve misunderstood. I went to Shenzhen University purely because it’s a special economic zone, which makes it easier for me to do some business. It has absolutely nothing to do with you.”
Hearing his words, Huang Xinyi's eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip: "Since you really want to break up with me, then let's not contact each other anymore. Please delete my Tencent QQ account, and I don't want to see your profile picture from now on."
Liang Xiaoman gently tugged at his sleeve, trying to dissuade her from doing this, but Huang Xinyi ignored her and shouted, "Hurry up and delete it in front of me right now."
Chen Ze stared at Huang Xinyi in shock, thinking to himself: What's wrong with this woman today, getting so angry? He looked at the fat man, who quickly turned his head away, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.
"What are you hesitating about? Are you afraid?" Huang Xinyi asked angrily, her proud breasts trembling, and she even spat directly onto his face.
After wiping his face, Chen Ze took out his iPhone 4, glanced at the fat man, and asked softly, "Fatty, how do you delete a QQ friend on an iPhone?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then said, "You bought it before me, how come you can't even do something so simple?"
Chen Ze opened Tencent QQ and handed him the phone: "I haven't figured out how to use a smartphone yet, can you help me see how to operate it?"
"Watch closely, I'll show you how to do it, you won't need to teach me again."
Then, the fat man performed a series of actions in front of the two of them, directly deleting Huang Xinyi's QQ account.
Upon seeing this, Huang Xinyi broke down in tears and slapped the fat man across the face, yelling, "Zhang Jiesheng, you bastard!"
Then, she ran out, whimpering, with Liang Xiaoman following closely behind.
Seeing Huang Xinyi crying her eyes out, and having just been slapped, the fat man was completely bewildered. He thought to himself, "What's going on? I was just teaching Chen Ze how to use a smartphone. Is that wrong?"
After a while, he finally realized what was happening and grabbed Chen Ze by the collar: "You little rascal, A-Ze, that's quite the trick. You were pretending you didn't know, weren't you?"
Chen Ze spread his hands, refusing to admit it, "Fatty, I really don't know how, don't wrong an innocent person."
"I don't care, I took a slap for you for no reason, so you have to treat me to a big meal."
"Okay, I'll treat you to seafood at Tianlan Hotel. How about that?"
"That's more like it."
At 11:30, the car arrived at the entrance of Tianlan Hotel. The doorman and greeter saw the Audi with the Guangdong-Hong Kong license plate and immediately ran over to open the car door for Chen Ze.
"Gentlemen, please come in."
Chen Ze nodded politely to him, then led Uncle De and Fatty into the hotel, where they saw the magnificent interior.
The fat man exclaimed in shock, "This place is ten times more luxurious than the Guangfu Grand Hotel, but I wonder if the food will be any good."
The waiter led them to a private room, and Chen Ze tossed the menu to the fat man: "Order whatever you want."
The fat man picked up the menu and chuckled, "I won't hold back. Today I'm going to fleece this big spender."
Chen Ze laughed and scolded, "Fatty, can you use a different term? Nouveau riche, tycoon, or magnate are all better than 'dog big shot'."
"I'd like to."
"Australian lobster, premium salmon, stewed black-boned chicken with turtle, stir-fried Tang Monk meat, abalone with three delicacies, and deep-sea squid sashimi."
The fat man ordered only the most expensive items, and the waiter wrote down the menu before leaving the private room.
Soon, one exquisite dish after another was served. Not only were they fragrant, but the plates were also beautifully arranged, making everyone's mouth water.
The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw the delicious food in front of him, and he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks.
Then, the three of them began to enjoy the delicious seafood on the table, with the fat man eating with his mouth full of oil.
