I Joined the Big Shots' Chat Group from the Start and Took Off

In the Magic City, Li Ming runs a data recovery shop on the verge of closing down. After three years as an overworked office drone, his blunt honesty got him on his boss’s bad side. He would rather live in poverty than be a workhorse again. Then one day, while repairing a hard drive, a “chat group for big shots” suddenly pops up on his phone, and he somehow becomes its owner. The assistant Xiaoya binds herself to his mind and recognizes him as her master. Every big shot in the group has maxed-out friendship with him, waiting for him to give the word and invite them in. Red envelopes rain down constantly, but there’s a catch: the big shots send cash, yet it turns into something else by the time it reaches him. Top-tier electronic engineering knowledge pours straight into his mind, he instantly masters foreign languages, and properties, antiques, connections, and company shares come pouring in. From the owner of a computer shop on the verge of shutting down to a tech tycoon with global industries at his fingertips, Li Ming’s comeback begins with this chat group that plays by no rules.
