    This is Little Orange Cat's new book, and I've already finished reading the serialized version. Here are my thoughts: First, it maintains Little Orange Cat's consistent style—detailed and realistic. Although it's a reincarnation story, there's absolutely no cheat code or overpowered elements; it's a genuine entrepreneurial journey. The analysis of the entrepreneurial process, real-world projects, industry competition, and even national energy strategy is outstanding—I even suspect it's based on the author's real experiences, because no outsider could write this. At the same time, within a professional context, it's not dry at all. Whether it's the handling of emotions (including love, friendship, patriotism, and the shared dream of mutual success) or the control of pacing, I dare say it's extremely rare in urban novels. There's almost no sense of unrealistic plot development; much of the content will move you, excite you, and make you want to comment. I believe this book won't disappoint you.

    [Campus Rebirth + Realistic Business Fiction + White-Cut-Black + Single Female Lead] When fate gives you a second chance at life, will you be a model student aiming for Tsinghua or Peking University? No, I'm going to incorporate the entire millennial generation into my business empire. "Reborn people make a fortune through information asymmetry? That's too narrow-minded." Xu Chen tore up the lottery number draft paper and filled the salt water tank at the military training base with iced fruit tea: "I'll use milk tea and tears to get my ticket to becoming the richest person this year." Reborn in 2006, with a sunburnt face from military training, he starts by selling fruit tea during training and making three times the profit. He leverages pirated music tapes to drain the entire school's cash flow and empty the pocket money of all the students. While the head of education was investigating the "pirated cassette tape profiteering chain," he had already taken over the milk tea shop near the school gate. After the milk tea shop became a hit, he turned his attention to the internet—using a heart-wrenching story of a mother kneeling to raise money for her daughter's medical expenses to ignite Waterdrop Crowdfunding, and leveraging the controversy surrounding "Winning by Half a Move Against Heaven" to garner national attention. While the entire internet was condemning Waterdrop Crowdfunding for "profiting from human suffering," he countered by launching Weibo to control public opinion—the hashtag #WinningByHalfaMove AgainstHeaven# quietly went viral on Weibo. As everyone watched the fangs of his social media empire, he turned around and acquired a bankrupt MP4 factory, used e-readers to rake in funds from the education market, and finally unleashed a Xiaomi-style smartphone killer. From a milk tea shop boy to a tech oligarch, he walked a moral tightrope, mastered the game of human nature, and every pore dripped with a dimensionality-lowering attack nineteen years ahead of its time. "Mr. Chen, Waterdrop Crowdfunding has been accused of fraudulent fundraising by state media!" "Perfect! Have the PR department push #ShouldWeForgiveKindLies# to the top of the trending topics." "But..." "No buts. Once Weibo launches, every single word they say against us—we'll have to pay to buy a trending spot." "Mr. Chen, our e-reader inventory is sold out!" "Excellent." He crushed the MP4 factory's bankruptcy notice. "It's time for Lei Jun to taste the bitterness of being outmaneuvered." At the 2010 Apple launch event, as Steve Jobs held up the iPhone 4, Chen Ran pressed the power button on the first OnePlus phone in Shenzhen. A blood-red banner exploded on the big screen: "Dear Mr. Lei, you're too late."

    The story takes place in a beautiful flower city in the south. A group of IT professionals living in a first-tier city have gathered together to form a circle, euphemistically called "Flower City Programmer's Home." In reality, this circle is a mixed bag: the vast majority are IT elites and coding slaves, mixed with bosses, HR professionals, stock market gurus, lawyers, accountants, the unemployed, as well as club princes and nightclub goddesses. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world of its own, and every day, some interesting and absurd legendary stories circulate within this world… [awkward laugh][awkward laugh]
