That’s right. Chen Zimo’s mind was like a treasure vault. Although there were countless possible paths, through careful screening and precise calculation, he could maximize the value of the funds in his hands. Buying property here was the best way he could think of to maximize the lottery prize.
“Within a week, after the demolition announcement is released, this house will jump from 600,000 yuan to 6 million yuan. I wonder if the original owner will faint in the bathroom when he hears the news.”
However, Chen Zimo did not intend to leave the two houses empty. He currently had nowhere to live. Staying at Grandma Zhang’s clinic all the time would make him feel guilty. Since the houses had not yet been demolished, he might as well live in one for a while.
It was just about lunchtime, so Chen Zimo went straight to a decent restaurant, ordered several large dishes, and asked for a private room.
As he ate, he almost burst into tears.
Not because he was a crybaby.
Two lifetimes.
In both lifetimes, he had never tasted food this good.
After stuffing himself, Chen Zimo sipped tea and began to think.
“Ten lottery tickets totaled 2.13 million yuan. After tax and donating to the children’s foundation, I have 1.8 million yuan left.”
“I just spent 1.2 million yuan on two houses, so I only have 600,000 yuan left in my pocket.”
“Sigh. Money really disappears fast.”
“I need to think of ways to earn more.”
“After all…”
“There were countless opportunities to make money placed before me in my previous life, and I didn’t cherish them. When I lost them, I regretted it deeply. The most painful thing in this world is having no family affection, no love, and not even any damn money. If heaven gives me another chance, I will say three words to those countless opportunities: I love you. If I must add a time limit to this love for money, I hope it is ten thousand years.”
He then took out a small notebook and recorded countless future opportunities in a method only he could understand.
Even if he had a photographic memory, it was better to arrange all major future events chronologically.
Besides, if he refused to donate a kidney, Chen Zixuan would only survive if a better donor appeared. Otherwise…
He had to speed up.
Otherwise, how could he let his enemies watch him take revenge?
So he had to act quickly and act brilliantly.
Some events intertwined, and the web of interests was complicated. One misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Chen Zimo would never make such a mistake again.
Next, he began drafting a plan targeting the Chen family.
Yes, a plan targeting the Chen family.
Do not think Chen Zimo was heartless. Although the Chen family shared his bloodline, he knew that even if he severed ties, those bastards would not leave him alone. They would continue to cause him trouble. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Right now, he either obediently returned to the Chen family to donate his kidney to Chen Zixuan and wait for death, or he fought back and prepared in advance.
As a wandering soul in his previous life, he had followed Chen Zixuan and the Chen family for years. He knew they were all vindictive.
Especially Chen Zixuan. If Chen Zixuan wanted to live, killing him was the only solution.
The Chen family was still a wealthy family worth tens of billions.
If Chen Zixuan used the family’s resources to deal with a poor and powerless high school student, it would be effortless.
“I’m still too weak to be manipulated like this.”
“If I were worth tens of billions now, or the CEO of some unicorn company, why would the Chen family dare to touch me?”
Unless he repeated his previous life, offering himself up voluntarily to have his kidney removed for Chen Zixuan, then lying silently on a hospital bed waiting for death, not even deserving a coffin, buried in some desolate wilderness.
He had to prepare for the worst.
Otherwise, he would constantly be ready for the Chen family’s retaliation.
After eating his fill, Chen Zimo took a taxi straight to the electronics market.
“If the Chen family doesn’t behave, I won’t just cause trouble for them. I’ll secure protection for myself as well.”
At the electronics market, Chen Zimo quickly purchased two Fruit 3 smartphones, three basic feature phones, a laptop with a data card, two external hard drives, and ten USB flash drives.
At this time, phone numbers did not require real-name registration, and surveillance cameras were not everywhere.
Hehehe.
Chen Zimo registered ten phone numbers, loading 1,000 yuan into each account, then hurried back to school for class.
“The Fruit 3 is already on the market. I still have one year. By then, I must secure a position in the smartphone industry.”
Chen Zimo knew that within the next year, the Chen family would enter the smartphone industry. He could only rise quickly if he made that world-changing phone company his own.
Right now, he needed to earn money and acquire that company.
“Even if I rely on memory and skip university, I could still become a billionaire. But I will never underestimate university as a miniature society.”
“People here talk about leveraging power, resources, and environment. To become a qualified businessman, I must master everything.”
“Back to school.”
…
The moment he stepped into the classroom, Chen Zimo felt a difference from his previous life.
He glanced around. The senior-year blackboard display had been changed to: Heaven rewards diligence. Hard work does not betray. Seize the day. Live up to your youth.
The calligraphy strokes were powerful and confident.
On the left side, it read: 43 days until the college entrance examination.
Above his head, the old mottled ceiling fan creaked noisily. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Students in the same uniform as him were bent over their desks, studying intensely. Chen Zimo felt younger himself.
Only his uniform was faded and too short.
Some students lifted their heads, saw the bandages wrapped around his head like a dumpling, and revealed mockery and disdain in their eyes. Chen Zimo ignored them completely.
“They’re just a bunch of immature kids.”
Then he saw someone.
A woman who had directly led to his death in his previous life.
Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Gu family. Once, the Gu family had been one of the wealthy families in Huacheng, though they had declined in recent years.
Yet a camel starved to death is still bigger than a horse. With her background and striking looks, Gu Xiaoxiao was considered the campus belle at No. 11 Middle School.
Most importantly, she had an engagement with Chen Zimo.
If Chen Zimo had not been lost when he was young, and if the Gu family had not declined, their marriage might have been arranged long ago.
But facing such a beautiful girl, Chen Zimo felt only hatred.
In his previous life, influenced by his family, he was deeply insecure.
He felt he was unworthy of the beautiful campus belle Gu Xiaoxiao.
He obeyed her every wish.
To stay with her, he even learned to deliberately control his exam scores.
Although the Gu family had declined, Gu Xiaoxiao was still raised with abundant educational resources. Yet her grades were always mediocre, around 550 points in practice exams, barely enough for a second-tier university.
To please her, Chen Zimo carefully controlled his own scores each time. Otherwise, she would feel upset.
Looking back, if not for Gu Xiaoxiao, perhaps he would have died later.
It was because of his family’s coercion and the deception of that snake-hearted woman that he decided to donate his kidney to the adopted son, Chen Zixuan.
He thought that as long as he donated his kidney, the family would accept him. Gu Xiaoxiao would admire him. He would marry her.
But after his death, as a wandering soul, he saw Gu Xiaoxiao leaning in Chen Zixuan’s arms.
Thinking of that, Chen Zimo wished he could slap himself twice.
“Damn it. Why was I so pathetic in my previous life?”
