Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

In a typical one-bedroom apartment, Zheng Jingwei took a big gulp of wine, slammed the glass down on the table, and complained to Wei Jianjun, "Brother Jun, this idea of ​​yours won't work either!"

Then, he pointed to his slightly swollen face: "Look, look at how my dad beat me. He never used to beat me. I've lost both my wife and my army."

Wei Jianjun said with a wry smile, "Brother Zheng, it's not that my idea is wrong, but you have to be flexible in these kinds of things. I told you to coax Li Qiuxia, why did you still threaten her?"

In these kinds of situations, everyone tries to stay amicable and make money together. If things can be managed, they try to manage them. Only when things become unbearable will they look for other solutions, and even then, they try to resolve them peacefully, since this is something that can't be brought to light.

Furthermore, you're being too greedy in this matter. The key is to take it slow and steady, and when you're draining resources, don't let it affect the overall situation.

"What you've done is worse! You just drained the pond, making it impossible for them to cross, and then you dumped the mess on them. Your way of doing things is far too crude!"

"What's the point of saying all this now? Is there any way to remedy the situation?"

Wei Jianjun smiled wryly again and said, "Brother Zheng, is it really that bad to be short of money? You should hold off for now and discuss it further after this period of time has passed!"

"What can this little bit of money do? It's not even enough to buy a nice car. I've finally figured it out. Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. The reason why those rich kids can easily pick up girls is because they drive sports cars around town."

"If I had a sports car, I wouldn't need to spend so much money to see Zheng Xiaojuan; it's fucking expensive."

"Brother Zheng, I'm not trying to be mean, but you've really never seen anything good. Even that slut Zheng Xiaojuan can bewitch you. You're just too desperate for her."

"As long as you're willing to cooperate directly with me and get rid of that woman Zheng Xiaojuan, I'll find you a few young models who are a hundred times better than Zheng Xiaojuan, and I'll give you double the benefits. What do you say?"

Now that things have come to this, Wei Jianjun finally revealed his purpose.

Zheng Jingwei took a big gulp of wine, slammed the glass down on the table, and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I'll cooperate with you. Let that woman Zheng Xiaojuan get lost!"

However, to Wei Jianjun's surprise, before he could even begin cooperating with Zheng Jingwei, he was dragged to the outskirts of town by Zheng Xiaojuan and her men and given a sound beating.

Seeing that Wei Jianjun was already beaten and unable to move, Zheng Xiaojuan polished her high heels, walked up to him with a cat-like gait, stepped on him with one foot, and said with a look of disdain:

"Wei Jianjun, who do you think you are? Do you still think you're the young master of the Wei family? You're just a toothless tiger now... no, what kind of tiger are you? You're just a dog at best."

You ungrateful wretch! Out of consideration for our past relationship, I gave you a meal, and you still dared to try and steal my place.

Unfortunately, you've dug into the wrong corner. My backer is Secretary Zheng, not his useless son. I was just following Secretary Zheng's orders to play along with his son for a bit.

Besides, I don't only have Secretary Zheng as my path now. I have plenty of other options, and dealing with a little scoundrel like you is a piece of cake.

This is just a warning. If you dare to have any more improper thoughts, I wouldn't mind throwing you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish, understand?

"I understand... I understand!" Wei Jianjun groaned weakly as he lay on the ground.

"Pah!" Zheng Xiaojuan spat on Wei Jianjun's face.

"Didn't you used to complain that I was ugly and like to put things on my face, saying you were going to give me a beauty treatment? Now I'm giving it back to you, so you can get a beauty treatment too!"

You used to ignore me, but now you can't afford me. A woman's charm isn't just about her face; countless men have been captivated by me.

After saying that, Zheng Xiaojuan and her men abandoned him and left.

After a long while, Wei Jianjun struggled to his feet and, looking in the direction where Zheng Xiaojuan and the others had gone, burst into tears.

He knew that he was completely finished, and that he might never have a chance to make a comeback.

At this moment, he recalled the story his father had told him about how he started his business. Things had changed, and it was no longer possible to start a business in the same way as before.

At this moment, Wei Jianjun regretted it. He should have known better than to cause trouble and become a henchman under Zheng Xiaojuan, at least he could have made a living.

Just then, Zheng Jingwei called him.

"Brother Jun, what's going on over there? The construction site is starting in a few days. Are you ready? You're not going to stand me up, are you?"

"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry, I probably can't handle this. You should go find Zheng Xiaojuan instead!"

"What are you talking about? If I wanted to find her, I would have done it already. Why would I need to talk to you?"

"Brother Zheng, I really can't do it. Even if I force myself to, I might mess up the project."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"She just had some people beat me up, and then revealed her real backer. We can't afford to mess with her, so let's just let it go!"

"You piece of trash! You used to be a big shot in Shanghai, and now you can't even handle a woman? She hit you, so get revenge! Are you even a man?!"

However, Wei Jianjun didn't say anything and silently hung up the phone.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Wei Jianjun has already spent all his money. Without money, who would want to follow him? He has no one around him anymore.

Even if he still has some money and a few people, without his backing and connections, he is, as Zheng Xiaojuan said, not even a toothless tiger, just a toothless old dog.

Now that he has offended Zheng Xiaojuan, it's impossible for him to go back to his old profession. He can only try to find a job to support himself.

There were no buses or taxis in the area, so he had no choice but to walk back step by step.

It was only then that he realized he was over forty years old, with no education or skills. Even if he were to work in a factory making screws, people would think he was too old, making it extremely difficult for him to find a job.

Just then, he saw a deliveryman wearing a Tesco delivery uniform speeding past him, which caught his attention.

After much thought, the only job he can find now is a low-barrier food delivery rider. Perhaps this is his destiny.
