Getting Rich Starts with Paying the Bill on a Blind Date

At twenty-six, Zhao Xu was the head of the engineering department at the Mandarin Oriental Shenzhen. Originally from Henan, he had followed his parents to Guangdong to work and earned a place at Guangdong Ocean University. After graduating, he had worked hard for five years. His busy schedule left him no time for romance, so when a fellow countryman kindly set him up on a blind date, he was stunned to discover that the woman was his coworker's girlfriend: the very girl who had once flaunted their relationship in front of him. When she was exposed, she flew into a rage, snatched his new phone, and smashed it onto the ground. Zhao Xu picked up his brand-new, top-of-the-line iPhone 17 in dismay, only to find the screen completely intact. He could only chalk it up to bad luck and go pay the bill.

The instant he paid, his phone suddenly transformed, activating the Pay-to-Claim Rewards System. The reward for his first purchase was the deed to the entire T1 Tower at UpperHills, the building housing the Mandarin Oriental Shenzhen. Zhao Xu drove his Tesla to inspect his new property, and from then on began a life of cheat-powered success: every bill earned him rewards ranging from real estate, company shares, gold and silver antiques, and luxury goods to supercars, talented employees, and skills. The rewards kept pouring in. He delivered a face-slapping rebuke to arrogant saleswomen at luxury boutiques, crushed the coworkers who had once looked down on him, settled down in Shenzhen, frequented bars and nightclubs, drove top-tier supercars, and found beautiful women flocking to his side.

This is the wild story of an ordinary man struck by fate, using his bills to turn the whole world to his advantage.
