Now That I’m Reborn, Who Still Wastes Money Pretending to Be Rich?

In his previous life, Gu Xiu had millions in demolition compensation. He desperately pretended to be a rich second-generation kid to fit in, only to end up losing both his money and his life in a miserable death.

Reborn on the eve of his freshman year, he looked at the eight-figure balance in his account and had an epiphany: What’s the point of saving face? This time, he’d keep his wallet shut and live quietly as a poor student!

To save money, he spent fifty yuan on a battered secondhand bicycle.

A tycoon investor cried out in astonishment: “In this age of restless ambition, he’s already planning a global green-transportation strategy! The greatest truths are simple. This young man is terrifying!”

To get free internet, he casually snapped up a run-down internet cafe.

A few days later, the cafe was included in a national-level esports industrial park worth hundreds of billions. Countless venture capitalists threw around billions, begging him to take their money.

Gu Xiu was completely dumbfounded.

His honest roommate saw him as the hidden heir to a financial empire. Business magnates treated his offhand complaints as a bible for making money, and the aloof campus belle insisted she’d marry no one but him.

Surrounded by the most powerful and influential people, Gu Xiu clutched his wallet while wearing a 9.9-yuan T-shirt with free shipping from Pinduoduo. On the verge of tears, he pleaded: “Please stop reading so much into everything! I’m really not some trillion-yuan tycoon. I only have ten million yuan to my name!”
