There's Always Someone Richer, and Someone More Powerful

This is not a rebirth story, and there is no System. This is simply the author’s personal journey toward healing. The places and people in it belong to another parallel world, so please don’t assume they refer to anyone real. The timeline is jumbled, and the writing is rough. If you don’t like it, please don’t flame me.

At forty, Ye Jingtian is an ordinary, impoverished third-grade chief staff member at a municipal government office, with two million yuan in debt. His college crush has risen through the ranks, his good college roommate has drifted away, drivers of luxury cars mock him with their high beams, and even his wife looks down on him. It all makes him want to die. But then, at a certain moment, the wheels of fate begin to turn in his favor. Watch as Ye Jingtian, now at the age when a man understands his destiny, defies fate, changes his life, and reaches the top!

Dongzi replied the moment the message went out: “Still in a meeting. I booked the same room as yesterday for noon. You two can head straight there.”

“Master strategist, you really can see everything coming. How did you know I’d ask her out?”

“Because you’re a man!”

“…”

“By the way, I did some digging. Her dad owns a car dealership, and they’re only worth seven or eight hundred million. You’ve landed yourself a real catch, kid. This is how you change your fate!

“I think you should take things slowly.

“Use the same moves you used to win over the department beauty back in college. Trust your skills, make full use of playing hard to get, and go after her with the shameless courage, unshakable resolve, and indomitable perseverance to never give up! I’ve got things to do. Talk later.”

Shocking!!!

Ye Jingtian was stunned. It wasn’t Zhou Zhiruo’s outrageously wealthy family that shocked him, but the fact that Xu Jindong, an illiterate college buddy who used to rely on crib notes to pass exams, could put together such an impressive string of parallel phrases!
