In the summer of 2006, Lu Ze, a thirty-eight-year-old investment bank executive, woke up from a hangover and found himself back in his senior year of high school graduation in Chuanlin City.
In addition to the extra future memories in his mind, he also unexpectedly discovered that his eyes had mutated - as long as he concentrated, he could penetrate the appearance of objects, and even see clearly the slight trembling of muscles and the accelerated heartbeat of others when they were lying.
In his last life, he was involved in life and death. In this life, Lu Ze just wanted to be a common man: make some money, drink some wine, and tease his childhood sweetheart who was as proud as a white swan, and his deskmate who looked cute but was stubborn at heart.
But he underestimated his instinct to "protect his shortcomings". In order to prevent Fa Xiao from being deceived, to help his father solve the crisis in the factory, and to hold up an umbrella for the girls around him, Lu Ze followed the mentality of "playing a casual game of chess" and relied on his clairvoyant information gap and future vision to go from the reselling ring in Chuanlin City to the university town of Changnan, to the hardware manufacturing in Shanghai, to the Internet platform in Kyoto, and finally to New York, the Eagle Country, to overturn the tables on Wall Street.
Years later, when being interviewed by the global media, Lu Ze, known as the "Godfather of Global Technology", helplessly blew out a smoke ring: "I really just wanted to make some money back then."
