Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The Waste Stands Up
"Stupid, pig-brained!"
"I'll give you another month. You must snatch the project from Lu Yu. No matter if you steal the official seal, cut the network cable, water the fortune tree, or hire spies, if you can't snatch it, get out!"
The strange man in front of him had been yelling into the phone for more than half an hour, and Cheng Yi was woken up by him.
He frowned slightly and stared at the back of the Roaring Emperor. He sympathized with the bull who was being scolded badly on the other end of the phone, while digesting the fact that he had traveled through a book in his mind.
Yes, just half an hour ago, he traveled into the book.
I was reborn as a cannon fodder with the same name and surname in the business war novel "Lutuo Era".
Good news: The factory configuration is not bad, born into a wealthy family, and the youngest child.
The bad news: It’s useless.
Only say three sentences every day: I'm hungry. I'm sleepy. Play games.
"He" has two older brothers and a sister. Although they are not as useless as "him", they are all villains.
In the novel, the villain's family takes turns to attack the handsome, strong and tragic hero Lu Yu, thus embarking on the road to self-destruction and group destruction.
After seeing through their conspiracy, Lu Yu launched a wave of revenge, destroyed their company, and sent the entire family to the crematorium, scattering their ashes together.
Cheng Yi was also quite convinced by this terrible plot.
Is he some kind of unjust person? He didn't mess with anyone!
In the original world, his life was depressing and miserable. His plastic parents don't treat him as a human being, but just an ATM machine that spits out money. His shitty boss doesn't treat him as a human being either, paying him 3,000 yuan a month but asking him to be responsible for the performance of the entire company.
The people with connections lie down comfortably every day, but he is exhausted and miserable. The shitty leader also PUAs from time to time: Young people, you must have a long-term vision, and you can’t work just for money, you must have feelings and make more contributions!
He stayed up for four nights to make a PPT for his leader, talking about his feelings, and finally died suddenly on the fifth night.
The last words I heard before I died were from my boss: "Give me more performance data, write 50 pages! You must finish it tonight, I want to see it tomorrow morning!"
Cheng Yi originally thought that death would be a good thing.
But the current situation is that he died and came back to life in a book. Since he has to continue to be a wronged being alive, he can't tolerate it!
What's more, his factory configuration in this life is that of a rich man's waste, with no worries about food and clothing, and he can be rich without working like a beast of burden. Why should such a blessing be taken away from him when it has been given to him?
Counting on one's fingers, the plot has approached the point where his elder brother Cheng Xiaoyong fires the first shot of his own death.
At this moment, his elder brother was on the phone instigating innocent subordinates to do bad things using illegal means.
Cheng Yi realized that he could no longer stand by and watch.
In a flash, he took advantage of his elder brother's back and suddenly sat up straight, snatched the latter's phone, and sang the modified version of "Ox and Horse Song" loudly into the receiver:
"Although I am a beast of burden, I don't need to be whipped. If the boss gives the order, I will take my life..."
"Don't go to work, don't go to work, saving your life is the most important thing, don't go to work, don't go to work, run away like an ox or a horse..."
"What are you doing!" Cheng Xiaoyong was furious. He snatched his phone back with a dark face and glared at Cheng Yi with raised eyebrows.
Cheng Yi kept silent for a second, and then he heard a sentence floating out from his elder brother's phone: "Thanks to the kind-hearted people, I listened to your advice and got it."
Cheng Xiaoyong: “…”
Cheng Yi: Oh ha~
Everything happened too suddenly. In just half a song, Cheng Xiaoyong lost an ox and a horse.
This made him extremely unhappy, and his anger was directed at the instigator: "Can't you eat less salt? You are so idle!"
Cheng Yi timidly admitted his guilt and was about to say something else when a voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Don't talk about your brother. What's wrong with being idle?"
Cheng Yi turned his head and saw a noble lady in gorgeous clothes striding towards them with the gait of a protective child.
Wow haha! Cheng Yi was secretly delighted, his umbrella of protection was here!
The woman is the mother of the original owner of the book, named Yun Wan. She is nearly fifty years old but still has charm. Among her four children, she was particularly fond of her youngest son, Cheng Yi, even to the point of over-spoiling him.
It is precisely because of this that a good trumpet was ruined.
"What's wrong with being idle? That's called enjoying life while you can," Yun Wan hugged Cheng Yi and gently touched his hair, "But Xiao Yi, don't stay at home playing games all the time. It's not good for blood clots if you do this for a long time."
Cheng Yi made the sign of the cross in his heart, Amen. It's too late. The original owner has been tied up.
It can be said that he and the original owner had a connection. One died suddenly while working overtime, and the other died suddenly while playing games. Both died, but their deaths were so different.
He listened to his mother and wanted to get down from the sofa, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, his knees suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees with a bang.
"Ouch, how did you fall! It must be because the floor is too slippery. Mom will help you kick it." Yun Wan kicked the floor a few times with her high heels to vent her son's anger.
Cheng Yi was stunned. Such maternal love was unreasonable.
But he loves it so much!
This was something he had never even touched in his previous life...
"Does it hurt, Xiaoyi?" Yun Wan pulled him back to his senses and asked him with concern while helping him up from the ground. "Do you want a doctor to come and take a look?"
Cheng Yi became more and more frightened, and was so moved that he almost cried.
"Haha, he went to see a doctor just because he bumped his leg. Is he a little flower in a greenhouse?" Cheng Xiaoyong on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
Yun Wan immediately glared at him: "What's the matter? Did Xiaoyi knock on his legs? What he knocked on is gold. A man's knees are made of gold. Haven't you heard of that?"
Cheng Xiaoyong: “…”
Cheng Yi: “…”
Cheng Yi was so embarrassed that he waved his hands and declined: "It's okay, it's okay. I just sat for too long and my legs are bleeding. Don't bother me."
"If you don't use it, you will lose it. If you keep playing games day and night like this, it will not only be your legs that will be damaged," Cheng Xiaoyong acted like an elder brother and taught him a lesson again, "Think more about what you can do in the future. Even if you want to rely on your parents, you have to do it in a scientific and healthy way. Don't have the blessing of relying on your parents, but you don't have the body to rely on your parents."
Cheng Yi thought this made a lot of sense. "I will take good care of myself and keep the blessing of being dependent on my parents. Thank you for your concern, big brother~"
Recalling the original book, the eldest brother Cheng Xiaoyong, the second brother Cheng Wu Ju, and the third sister Cheng Ranxing, two business tycoons and one entertainment star.
From time to time, they would dislike "him", their good-for-nothing brother, but blood is thicker than water, so they would still care about him.
It can be said that Cheng Yi has all the luck in this life that he did not have in his previous life.
However, the gears of fate were determined to turn away the wealthy family into his mother.
No, he won't give in! Cheng Yi grabbed a feather duster and carried it on his shoulder as if he was about to rise up in rebellion.
The loser has stood up since then. He wants to start the battle to defend the wealthy family and fight against the damn dog plot!
…
In a blink of an eye, it's dinner time.
In addition to Yun Wan and Cheng Xiaoyong, Cheng's father was also having dinner together today.
Cheng's father is Cheng Shouye, who just turned 50 this year and is the chairman of Chengsheng Group. The group has multiple business sectors including electronic information, entertainment, and real estate.
In the past two years, the group has entered the fields of virtual reality and augmented reality, hoping to transform and upgrade. Cheng Shouye handed over this business to his eldest son Cheng Xiaoyong.
I thought that the old companies had strong foundations and it would not be a problem for them to grab a piece of the pie. However, unexpectedly, Lu Tuo Times, founded by Lu Yu, appeared halfway through. In just a few years, Lu Tuo Times rose rapidly and became a dark horse in the technology industry, and also became the biggest competitor of Chengsheng Group.
"Dad, we have already lost a big project this year because of Lu Yu. This time, I must snatch the virtual rehabilitation system from him no matter what means." Cheng Xiaoyong talked about work at the dinner table, and Cheng's father listened to him while eating.
"What are you going to do?" asked Cheng's father.
Cheng Xiaoyong: "I have decided to plant a commercial spy in Lu Yu's company."
Cheng Yi raised his eyelashes suddenly when he heard that.
Speaking of Lu Yu, the book describes this male protagonist as a ruthless man. He is steady, accurate and ruthless in expanding his business empire. He is decisive in his style of doing things and never drags his feet or shows mercy.
In the book, Cheng Xiaoyong planted a commercial spy to steal confidential information and quotations, but ended up shooting himself in the foot and was mercilessly sent to the police station by Lu Yu.
After him, Cheng Yi's second brother and third sister were unwilling to give in and were determined to avenge their eldest brother, so they attacked Lu Yu one after another.
Lu Yu found out their weaknesses and fought back forcefully, and single-handedly overturned the Cheng family's huge family business, leaving them with no chance of making a comeback.
In the end, their family was sent away safely, Lu Yu reached the peak of his life and became a business legend.
The plot is quite heart-wrenching, just like eating shit, but returning to the present, Cheng Yi still holds a glimmer of hope in Cheng's father and mother.
The author of the original book described very little about Cheng's parents, and spent a lot of time describing how the three villain siblings behaved.
And from the few hours he spent traveling through time, it seemed that neither his father nor his mother were unreasonable nouveau riche. When they knew that their eldest son was about to break the law, they had to step in to stop him, right?
Cheng Yi fully expected that they would slam the table and beat up the rebellious son who was about to make trouble, or at least lift his ears and scold him: "How dare you, a bold lunatic, challenge the law!"
However, it turned out that he was overthinking.
My mother sipped red wine while browsing the latest couture pieces from the Paris Fashion Week.
My father picked up the dishes slowly and leisurely, with a calm expression on his face.
"Well, it's not impossible to use corporate espionage."
"..." Cheng Yi was horrified.
It’s not impossible? Sure?
Cheng Xiaoyong stood aside and puffed out his chest proudly: "Yes, those who achieve great things don't pay attention to details. If you open up your mind, you will get different surprises."
“…………”
Cheng Yi closed his eyes in despair.
OK.
Real punishment.
If this pattern is really opened, the police station will be opened as well.
I got a sewing machine. I don’t know if it’s a surprise.
It seems that there is no hope at all to place hope on Cheng's parents.
The characters' cognition and behavior in the book are obviously affected by the original author's setting of lowering IQ, which means that the "commercial espionage" plot has to go.
In that case...
He took a deep breath and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Dad, big brother, let me interrupt."
The two turned their eyes to his face, and Yun Wan also turned her head away at this time.
Cheng Yi put down his fork and rubbed his hands. It was the first time he gave an important speech with the title of "waste". He felt so embarrassed.
But it concerns the survival of the family, the safety of the wealthy, and more importantly, whether one can continue to lie down and live a lazy life in the future.
He risked his life!
"Brother, if you want to plant a spy for Lu Yu, choose me!" He raised his arms high.
Everyone at the table dropped their chopsticks in shock: "???"
"Did you eat some poisonous mushrooms and start talking nonsense?" Cheng Xiaoyong frowned and questioned him.
"It's not nonsense, it's God's will," Cheng Yi blinked and took out a book on Metaphysics and Astrology from somewhere.
He opened the book in front of everyone, and a diagram of the five elements and eight characters slowly unfolded.
"Lu Yu is of the metal element, and I am of the fire element. I have a holy body that is innately able to defeat him, and I will definitely be able to annihilate him in one fell swoop!"
