"Sun Kai, do you know him?"
The sales associate beside him asked curiously.
"Yeah, we're from the same place, live in the same neighborhood."
Sun Kai explained.
"He's quite handsome, but doesn't seem to be doing well?" The other associate commented.
At this moment, Chu Chen was carrying a black plastic bag and dressed casually.
Because he was carrying a large bag of money and had collected rent from twenty or thirty houses, Chu Chen looked a bit disheveled.
"Yeah, who would have thought, fortunes do change."
Sun Kai said with schadenfreude.
"Back in the day, all the girls in the neighborhood were crazy about him. Until we grew up, he had countless girls chasing after him while I was single for twenty years. I was insanely jealous."
Sun Kai reminisced about the old days.
"God is fair. Now I've made some progress, and he looks miserable."
Sun Kai had a knack for sales. After six months at the store, his sales figures skyrocketed, and his daily base salary plus commission could reach seven or eight hundred.
Additionally, the people at the main office recognized his talent. It wouldn't be long before he would be transferred to manage another branch, with a monthly salary reaching 30,000!
In one year, that would be 360,000, which is higher than some white-collar salaries.
By then, he'd buy a Mercedes and marry a beautiful woman, reaching the peak of his life.
"Carrying a black plastic bag, looking like a beggar?"
Sun Kai shook his head as he looked at Chu Chen.
He used to look up to Chu Chen, but now he wanted to step on Chu Chen and make Chu Chen look up to him.
"Watch me go mock him."
He said to his companion, then walked over.
"Chu Chen, long time no see."
Chu Chen turned around and was stunned to see Sun Kai:
"Who are you..."
Chu Chen had a hard time remembering.
"Sun Kai, from the same neighborhood."
Sun Kai reminded him. He used to be insignificant, but now things were different.
"Oh, I remember now, I'm sorry."
Chu Chen said apologetically.
"What have you been up to lately?"
Sun Kai asked enthusiastically.
"Not much, I'm still in school. At a trashy university, not sure if I'll find a good job after I graduate."
Chu Chen spoke honestly.
Before he got the system, besides being handsome, he was really a nobody. His studies were mediocre, and he got into an average school.
"I see."
Sun Kai showed a smug smile.
"You could consider working at my store when you graduate. I won't shortchange you on salary."
"Starting at five thousand a month, not bad for a college graduate."
Sun Kai said generously.
"Thanks."
Chu Chen replied.
"Keep working hard. It took me a few years to get to where I am. Today's small goal isn't even complete yet."
Sun Kai said with mock humility.
"Goal?"
"Yes, to earn 3,000 yuan today."
This was the small goal he set for himself yesterday.
3,000 yuan a day was 90,000 yuan a month. For a college student, no, for ninety-nine percent of people, this was unachievable.
Hearing this, Chu Chen was stunned, a light lit up in his eyes.
Look at him, working so hard to earn 3,000 yuan, with his small goal.
Then look at himself: now worth a billion or two, without a single small goal.
He was indeed too complacent!
Why couldn't he have one?
Life shouldn't be complacent!
Although he was now worth a billion or two, it was still too little.
Seeing Chu Chen's expression, Sun Kai subconsciously thought Chu Chen was shocked by his income.
3,000 a day was indeed quite a lot!
Sun Kai smiled smugly and nodded at his companions from afar.
At that moment, Sun Kai felt like he was floating, as if the world couldn't contain him anymore!
"What are you thinking about?"
Sun Kai asked casually.
"I just thought of a small goal."
"Interesting, what small goal?"
As he spoke, Sun Kai picked up the water cup nearby.
"Make another billion tomorrow!"
Chu Chen said seriously.
Today, he had acquired all the properties on Wutong Street, making a profit of 300 million. Tomorrow was definitely going to be better than today.
Since it was a small goal, it couldn't be too much. Just another billion.
A billion, not much.
"Pfft!"
Sun Kai spit out the water he hadn't swallowed.
"Cough cough cough."
He coughed violently, truly shocked.
Not far away, Sun Kai's colleague was also stunned.
I have a small goal, to make another billion tomorrow?
Damn, is that a small goal?
That's a gigantic goal!
That's an unachievable goal for a lifetime!
Looking at Chu Chen, Sun Kai felt extremely disdainful.
Bragging is one thing.
But you have exaggerated to the heavens!
At first, Sun Kai thought Chu Chen would say something like making 500 yuan a day, but he never expected this.
"Chu Chen, that's not right. I was talking seriously, and you were bragging..."
Sun Kai scolded coldly.
But before he could finish, the store owner suddenly came out of the back room.
At that moment, the store owner was holding a stack of money, at least tens of thousands.
"As soon as I saw Mr. Chu coming, I went in to get the money."
"This is next month's rent, please take it."
The store owner handed the money to Chu Chen respectfully.
Chu Chen opened the black plastic bag, gesturing for the owner to put it in.
"Cough cough cough."
Seeing the contents of the black plastic bag, Sun Kai started coughing violently again.
Money!
It was all money inside!
At least a few hundred thousand!
Sun Kai felt as if a herd of alpacas stampeded through his mind.
Using a plastic bag to hold money, how casual.
"I'm off."
Chu Chen turned around, patted Sun Kai's shoulder,
"Thanks for giving me a small goal."
With that, Chu Chen walked out of the shop with a bag of money.
"Do you know Mr. Chu?"
Watching Chu Chen leave, the owner asked curiously.
"Yes, we're from the same place."
"Your buddy is amazing. He bought the whole Wutong Street. Not mentioning the value of Wutong Street, just the rent alone, he earns millions a month."
"How can there be such a big difference between people?"
The store owner said enviously.
Splash!
Hearing this, Sun Kai's cup fell to the ground.
The whole Wutong Street belonged to him.
Wutong Street was worth several billion?!
Just now, the owner said it was all bought by Chu Chen?
Being able to buy Wutong Street indicated Chu Chen had even more assets?
I have a small goal, to make another billion tomorrow!
Suddenly, he recalled Chu Chen's words and was utterly stunned!
Was Chu Chen serious?
Was he, a guy with a monthly income of just over ten thousand, really trying to show off to a billionaire?
Was he out of his mind?
Where did his confidence come from?
The breeze blew by.
Sun Kai was utterly confused in the wind...
He felt his entire life, his entire world, had turned dark!
