Rebirth and making money first

Zhang Jing looked at the pile of things listed on the paper - stock trading, writing, physical examination, accounting certification exam... Suddenly she realized that she might not have enough time and energy to complete all of them. So she began to carefully think about which things were most urgent and important, and sorted them according to priority.

First, she decided to focus on work and study. After all, only a stable income could support her life. Therefore, she prioritized work, followed by taking night classes and obtaining an accounting certificate. This would enhance her professional skills and increase her future employment opportunities.

Then, she considered her physical health. While it wasn't always pleasant, it could help her identify potential health issues. So, she decided to schedule a comprehensive checkup as soon as possible to ensure she was in good health.

As for her romantic life, Zhang Jing feels now is not the right time to invest too much energy. Although she and her boyfriend, A-Long, have a deep bond, she needs to focus on personal growth and career advancement. Therefore, she prioritizes spending time with A-Long, hoping to strike a balance between her relationship and her personal goals.

Yet, even though Zhang Jing prioritized her date with A-Long, his calls continued to come frequently. They arranged to meet, and Zhang Jing felt a sweet, almost reconciled feeling. During this meeting, A-Long's actions surprised and touched Zhang Jing. He not only cared for her attentively but also gave her a precious gift, making the three thousand yuan in Zhang Jing's hand feel a bit too hot.

Faced with A-Long's sudden enthusiasm, Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? Did you do something wrong to me and want to make up for it?" A-Long smiled and replied, "You think too much! I just want to treat you well. Is there anything wrong with me being nice to you?"

Zhang Jing was still a little confused after hearing this. She knew that women are naturally sensitive and suspicious, and they would always be wary of men's behavior. She continued, "If someone is too attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. You are making me very uneasy. You must be hiding something from me. If you don't tell me clearly, I will always be worried."

Upon hearing this, A-Long reached out to take the money back, saying, "Don't give it back to me." Zhang Jing quickly took it back, saying, "You wish! Don't even think about taking it back." Seeing Zhang Jing's greedy expression as she collected the money, A-Long sighed, "After all these years, I've found that you're still the best. Those women all want to buy a house first!"

As soon as Zhang Jing heard this, she knew he was having affairs with countless women outside! Now, after being stimulated, her backup role was activated again, and she instantly felt uncomfortable.

Ah Long even asked Zhang Jing recklessly, "If it were you, would you rather buy a house or a car when you get married?"

Zhang Jing rolled her eyes, thinking, "Why even ask?" So she replied grumpily, "A car is just a means of transportation. Do you really want to sleep in it? So if I had to choose, I'd definitely buy a house first. Otherwise, where would I lay my eggs without a nest?"

Hearing this, A-Long laughed too, saying, "Yeah, we have to buy a house. Do you have balls now? Let me feel them." Zhang Jing knocked down his hand reaching for her belly, but from A-Long's dejected tone, she knew this bastard must have someone in mind he wanted to marry. And that person definitely wasn't her, which filled Zhang Jing with anger.

Zhang Jing decided to put the physical examination on the agenda as soon as possible to see if there was anything wrong with this man.

Zhang Jing walked into the hospital's gynecology clinic feeling a little nervous. The doctor carefully inquired about her symptoms and began a series of tests. After a busy period, all the tests were completed, except for one special test, the results of which required a week's wait. Ultimately, the doctor diagnosed her with uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and adhesions. This meant that she was currently unable to conceive and would need conservative treatment, including medication and lavage. If the fibroids continued to grow, surgery might be necessary. More importantly, she was prohibited from having sex until her condition improved.

Zhang Jing left the hospital with a pile of Chinese and Western medicine and doctor's orders, filled with worry and anxiety. She knew she had to follow the doctor's instructions strictly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She would have to return a week later for a follow-up checkup and biopsy results to confirm whether she had the A-type disease...

I have to bear all the problems by myself, and I dare not tell anyone. Sometimes I think about why I am so busy.

Zhang Jing took her medication while attending classes. She continued to write her novel, but at a slower pace. She knew her health was the foundation of everything else, and to quickly save for a house, she decided to take another look at the stock market. She vowed that once she bought a house in Shenzhen and secured her permanent residence, she would stop struggling and start working seriously.

Although she'd fallen behind on her night school work, Zhang Jing still borrowed notes from her deskmate and wrote down the key points. She'd ask the teacher if she really didn't understand something, and she quickly caught up. Her deskmate, a girl with glasses from Guangdong, was a diligent student. Knowing Zhang Jing's progress, she'd discuss her homework with her afterward. Zhang Jing knew this girl, Huang Yindi, might be an accountant. It was simply intuition.

I don't work in accounting, but I know I'm interested in taking the exam. So the teacher asked those who had registered for the exam, and they both signed up without hesitation. Zhang Jing figured even if she didn't pass, she'd still give it a try. What if she passed? Huang Yindi even advised her to take the exam again next year, after all, she'd been skipping classes for too long. Zhang Jing refused. She didn't want to waste all her time in night school, and it would be better to get her certificate sooner rather than later.

Seeing that Huang Yindi still had a roll of newspaper, she asked her for it. Huang Yindi took out one of the newspapers and gave the rest to Zhang Jing, saying that they were all for Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing was surprised and asked what treasure was on the newspaper!

Huang Yindi told Zhang Jing that there have been many job openings recently, but she felt her current job was too tiring and planned to apply for a new job after passing the exam. Zhang Jing realized that everyone has their own difficulties.

On the bus, Zhang Jing was boredly flipping through the newspaper. The news wasn't very appealing, and the novel series were also fixed. Suddenly, a call for submissions caught her attention: to celebrate Shenzhen's reform and opening up, poetry, prose, and songs were being collected from all over society, divided into several categories...

Zhang Jing suddenly remembered the song "Spring Story." Wasn't this how it all came about? In a previous life, a teacher had been specially recruited by the Shenzhen Propaganda Department to work in Shenzhen because of his writing of this song and "Entering the New Era."

Zhang Jing hesitated about plagiarizing the piece. It would be embarrassing if the original author also entered the competition. Furthermore, she only knew how to sing, not compose, which put her in a difficult position. What should she do?

All along, copying stories and novels, buying houses and shops, and even buying stocks, she had been cheating by using her past life's memories. If she hadn't been reborn, Zhang Jing was sure she wouldn't be much better than her past life. The chances of repeating the same mistakes were much greater!

So what was the point of her rebirth? Zhang Jing suddenly felt a fear, a fear that seeped from the depths of her heart. She decided not to cheat this time and register for the competition with her true level. Even if she didn't get the award, she couldn't rely on her past life's lead for the rest of her life.
