Note: This is a slice-of-life story with a steady, slow pace. There isn't much face-slapping, so longtime readers who enjoy slow-burn stories, come on in. At 36, Chen Ning is unemployed and in debt, his bank cards frozen, with two sons whose tuition is due and a partner shouldering the family burden alone.
When he opens his eyes again, he's back in 1998, in second grade at Yunshan County Primary School.
In this life, he only wants to keep a low profile:
Pass the civil service exam and join the tax bureau as an unremarkable clerk. Wear a uniform, ride an old electric scooter, eat his mother's braised vegetables, and live like a speck of dust.
No one knows he's holding the keys to every great opportunity of the era:
Before the 519 market rally, he has his father invest heavily in a stock that multiplies in value;
Before housing prices take off, he buys more than a dozen prime properties in Beijing and Shanghai;
When Bitcoin costs just a few cents, he quietly accumulates several thousand coins;
He's even an early, behind-the-scenes shareholder in giants like Lianjia and Alibaba.
His coworkers think he gets by on his modest salary, until they see him move into his 800-square-meter Huangpu penthouse.
His neighbors think he's an ordinary clerk, until they spot the dust-covered Porsche Panamera with a Shanghai B plate in his garage.
And all of this is for one goal:
To find Li Yan, who stood by him through hardship in his previous life, and make sure she never suffers the slightest grievance in this one.
No competing, no showing off, no fuss. This life is just right.
I'm in third grade, and I'll write this in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
It's nice to read, but the writing is a bit slow. It's half a century behind the title.
The novel is very well written, highly recommended!!!!!! It's just that the author updates too slowly!!! Author, please update!!
Following up on the update, it's so pretty! The author's writing is exquisite, the story is real and full of fireworks, Chen Ning's counterattack is so exciting, and the family line is so warm. I have already followed it to the end. Highly recommended!
It's well written, it reminds me of the past
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
I like the progress of slow-burning period writing.
