As a 35-year-old programmer, Zhang Lei's programming ability was quite good. He occasionally accepted outsourced jobs on the forum.
I'll take this job. Xu Jingming scanned the forum and accepted a huge job.
Soon, the other party contacted him.
"Octopus, are you sure you can handle it?" The other party found it unbelievable. After all, Zhang Lei was an old user on the forum; he wasn't known for being that amazing.
"I'll give you the results in three days," Xu Jingming replied.
"Tsk, tsk. You're quite confident! Alright, I'll be waiting."

He temporarily didn't tell his family about the failure of the investments.
He completed the outsourced job in three days! After the other party confirmed that it worked as advertised, he paid 30,000 yuan!
In half a month, Xu Jingming—who had lost his job—completed a few relatively difficult outsourced jobs. He was recognized as a 'phenomenal' programmer on the forum.
