Stop Cursing! How Did You, You Wretch, Become the Richest Man?

Other people’s golden fingers after being reborn are Systems that hand out money and cultivation techniques. Mine is memories of the future. But those memories have become my biggest headache. Scene One: Predicting the World Cup. Using his memories of the future, Chen Sheng accurately predicts the match results and easily earns a hundred thousand. Result: Everyone thinks he’s a gambling addict, and his counselor summons him for a chat. Everyone: “Wait, how does this scoundrel get away with it?!” Chen Sheng (sighing): Being too far ahead of your time is a mistake, too. Scene Two: Proposing a new e-commerce model. Chen Sheng pitches concepts like “escrow transactions” and “Singles’ Day” to Taobei’s management. Result: They call him a “delusional madman” and nearly kick him out. The big shots: “This scoundrel is spouting nonsense again!” Chen Sheng (shrugging): Suit yourselves. The future belongs to me anyway. Scene Three: Developing WeChat with Qin Xue. Chen Sheng secretly develops a groundbreaking WeChat prototype with Qin Xue. Result: People question whether the product is “neither one thing nor the other” and say it doesn’t fit the mainstream IM trend. Qin Xue (analyzing the data): In theory, our user growth figures should… Chen Sheng (interrupting): Forget the theory. They all think I’m a scoundrel. There’s no saving them. This golden finger has made me filthy rich, but it’s also turned me into an “oddball scoundrel” in everyone’s eyes. Who can understand the loneliness of a prophet who isn’t understood? (Chen Sheng: Lonely? What nonsense! Get counting that money!)
