The Day I Got Dumped, an Extra Hundred Million Appeared in My Account

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Chen was struck by the System: one hundred million yuan deposited at midnight every day, valid only until that day ends. Whatever he doesn't spend is wiped out.

At first, he spent money just for the sake of spending it. He bought a Wyndham hotel, took over unfinished buildings, renovated commercial streets, and snapped up land at bargain prices. In less than two months, he had used 4.7 billion yuan to lay out an entire board across Qingchuan, a small city. Everyone thought he was crazy: a twenty-six-year-old who pledged to cover the full 12.5 billion yuan cost of building an expressway and locked 3.8 billion yuan in cash in a dedicated account.

But they had no idea the real game wasn't being played on the expressway.

The day the System upgraded, Jiang Chen unlocked a talent for the entire sodium-ion battery industry chain: costs 42% below the market standard, three times the cycle life, normal discharge at minus 40°C, and priority rights to global patents. It was a technological moat capable of unlocking a trillion-yuan market.

The provincial road and bridge company wanted to split the project into sections. A central state-owned enterprise wanted to swoop in and claim the prize. Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Mingyuan wanted to use Jiang Chen as a stepping stone to climb higher. At the expressway project's consultation meeting, everyone waited for him to bow his head. Jiang Chen did just one thing: he pushed his chair back under the table and walked out of the conference room without looking back.

The expressway could wait. But three thousand mu of industrial land, production lines worth tens of billions, an industrial cluster worth hundreds of billions, and a sodium-ion battery empire worth trillions: he would set the table himself.

The women of Qingchen also took their places in his game. Yu Bing was his right-hand woman, Shen Yao his covert agent in the narrow space between business and politics, Su Qing cleared obstacles for him in the secondary market, Liu Yao helped him dismantle a toll booth no one had dared touch in twenty years, Su Yinghong defected from the gray areas with evidence of her revenge, and Jiang Yue was the unwavering support who would never leave his side.
