I Just Became Financially Independent, and You Call This Retirement?

In his previous life, Shen Yuan was a top financial headhunter, but died of heart failure at his fortieth-birthday celebration. Reborn in 2012, an era when even a pig could fly if it caught the right tailwind, he personally tore up a job contract worth ten million a year. “In this life, I won’t work for anyone. All I want is absolute freedom.” While others drink themselves into stomach perforations at business dinners just to secure a chance at funding, he teaches a cat to fish in his little courtyard in Sucheng. While business tycoons fight tooth and nail over industry leadership, he’s checking which companies offer the most reliable dividends. He buys a plot of land in the most remote location. A few years later, it becomes a world-famous landmark. The destitute young man he casually rescues grows up to become a tech giant who shakes the world. All he wants is the finest tea, the most beautiful scenery, and the slowest days. Then one day, his identity is accidentally exposed. The whole internet is stunned: The young man fanning himself in the shade at the entrance to an alley is actually the one true god who controls the lifeblood of the global economy? Life is short. Shen Yuan lives by one principle: steady returns are the foundation of an elegant life!
