Le Yun transmigrated into the body of a spoiled young master.
From the start, things couldn't have gone worse: the original owner owed a whopping three thousand taels and had even slapped a business magnate.
The magnate made his threat: if the debt wasn't repaid in seven days, his entire family would disappear!
Le Yun took over the mess and remained confident, declaring that he would start a business!
Armed with the wisdom of his past life, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make a fortune.
But he soon discovered that all his technological innovations and marketing ideas were already in use! Even food delivery was thriving.
Something was off! Could there... already be a transmigrator from before him?
As business kept getting worse,
Le Yun sighed, returned to his shop, and prepared to close up for good.
To his surprise, he found his storefront packed with customers!
Countless people surrounded him, offering congratulations and praise.
Even the landlord, who had mocked him just yesterday, changed his tune at once: "Young Master, what brilliant tactics! Why not rent for a few more days? I'll lower the rent!"
Watching silver pour in, Le Yun suddenly felt confident: Could I really be a business genius?

Tao Ning had transmigrated to this world five years ago. Using the memories of his past life, he had become a business magnate known as "Yan Cibei."
One day, he went to collect a debt and got slapped by the young master of the Yun family.
After making his threat, President Yan leisurely sipped his tea, waiting for the seventh day so he could kick the unpleasant young master out of Xiangyang.
A subordinate reported:
On the first day, the young master fell into the water and lost consciousness.
On the second day, the young master woke up and said he was going to start a business.
On the fourth day, the young master's restaurant opened, and he planned to use scarcity marketing.
Yan Cibei raised an eyebrow. Could there be a new transmigrator?
On the fifth day, he decided to go and take a look himself.
But the young master seemed off in every way, and his words and actions were strangely familiar.
The young master was eating dates and chatting with a child by the roadside:
"When I was a kid, I knew a little brat named Tao Ning. He was about your age when we first met and stuck to me every day, asking for candy."
"Too bad he went out and got himself killed. He died young."
In the corner, Tao Ning himself, the one who had "gotten himself killed": "..."
On the sixth day, the Jinghua Merchants' Association held an emergency meeting overnight.
Everyone watched President Yan spend lavishly as he handed out assignments:
"Use these one thousand taels to hire people to invest in his shop."
"Use these five hundred taels to rig the grand prize in his favor."
"That's still not enough. Go bury this gold in his backyard without him knowing."
"Actually, I don't trust anyone else. I'll go myself..."
-
That night, Yan Cibei sneaked into the Yun family's backyard and was hard at work burying the money when he suddenly heard a chuckle behind him:
"President Yan, what brings you here at this late hour with so much money?"
He turned around. The young master of the Yun family stood there holding a lantern, watching him with an amused expression.
Yan Cibei's scalp went numb, and the words slipped out: "Would you believe me if I said I'm his twin brother...?"
Le Yun raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"I-I mean it!"
Yan Cibei went all in: "My brother and I are enemies!"
"Then why come looking for me?"
Le Yun's eyes lit up as he suddenly understood. He leaned closer and whispered, "Odd functions stay the same, even functions change?"
Yan Cibei: "..."
From then on, Le Yun teamed up with President Yan's "nonexistent transmigrator younger brother," vowing to take down Yan Cibei, their common enemy.
President Yan: Fine. As long as Xiao Yun is happy.
