After voraciously consuming twenty hamburgers at the fast-food restaurant, Chou Ping began to question life.
To be honest, the hamburgers here weren't particularly tasty, but they weren't horrible either. In the past, when his economic conditions were limited, Chou Ping often used this food to satisfy his hunger, but his fondness for it had diminished over time.
Nevertheless, he still managed to eat twenty hamburgers.
"Weird, what's happening to me?" Chou Ping muttered to himself, subconsciously taking the receipt handed to him by the waiter.
"Sir, your appetite truly astonishes us. In two days, several chain fast-food restaurants in our province will jointly host a big eater competition. If you have the time, you can participate; the first prize comes with a generous reward," the waiter said with a smile as radiant as a chrysanthemum.
Well, now he was being treated like a big eater.
Chou Ping had to reflect on what he had experienced these past few days that led to such an increase in his appetite.
Could it be the result of previous excessive indulgence and revelry?
Or was it due to the previous cycle when he had diarrhea and was taken to the hospital, and the doctor used some medicine to stimulate his appetite?
No, that shouldn't be the case. After the time reset, everything returned to normal. Whether it was relationships or hospital visits, how could they possibly affect the current cycle of himself?
He wondered if this situation was a blessing or a curse. Perhaps after tomorrow, with another time reset, things would return to normal. Chou Ping thought to himself.
If it still didn't return to normal, he would have to go to the hospital for a check-up. Otherwise, with this appetite, if he didn't pay attention to exercise, Chou Ping felt that his weight might skyrocket.
Strolling back to his apartment, Chou Ping opened his computer. Tomorrow afternoon, the big boss Stephen would come to the company to meet him, so he still needed to prepare the proposal.
With the experience from the last meeting, Chou Ping already had a good idea of what Stephen needed, and he crafted the proposal with even more ease.
Two hours later, Chou Ping whistled, clapped his hands, and nodded in satisfaction.
Tomorrow was a workday, and at this time, he should probably go to bed. However, Chou Ping felt no drowsiness. The nightlife had just begun. Should he go out for some fun?
Touching the slight bump on his forehead, Chou Ping shook his head, dismissing the thought.
Forget it, since he could restart, there was no need to rush at this moment. There would be plenty of time in the future.
How about watching a TV series or a movie?
In the end, Chou Ping's gaze fell on that music theory basics book—it was indeed a rare hypnotic tool.
After freshening up, changing into pajamas, Chou Ping lay on his bed and opened the book.
After two rounds of studying, Chou Ping had also made some progress in piano basics, and he could understand a bit from this music theory basics book.
This time, there was a small improvement compared to the last time. After flipping through a dozen pages, the book slipped from his hands, and the room was filled with the rhythmic sound of breathing.
...
It was another bright and sunny morning. Accompanied by the cuckoo's singing, Chou Ping slowly opened his eyes, subconsciously looking down at his clothes.
Yes, it was indeed the pajamas he had specially changed into last night. To confirm that everything he experienced yesterday wasn't a dream, time had come to Monday again.
Chou Ping touched his forehead, still a little swollen but not as noticeable.
Getting up, washing up, having breakfast, and heading out.
On the way, Chou Ping took out his phone, opened the contact list, and called Kailin.
The call went through, but no one answered. Chou Ping frowned; what was she up to?
At this moment, he actually felt the urge to find Kailin and prevent her from doing something foolish. However, he didn't know the specific address of Kailin's company.
Seeing that it was almost time for work, Chou Ping sent a text message to Kailin, hoping she wouldn't do anything foolish for the sake of money.
At this moment, in a stylish office building, Kailin anxiously watched the fluctuation of a stock.
Just now, Chou Ping had called her, but due to guilt, she didn't dare to answer. Later, the phone rang again with a ding, and it was a text message.
After sighing, Kailin picked up her phone and opened the message from Chou Ping.
"Hi, Kailin, I don't know how to say this, but I have a really bad feeling. I just want to tell you, I earned the money easily, and you know it too. So, no matter what happens, please contact me, and don't do anything foolish."
Kailin was wide-eyed, feeling extremely surprised. Did Chou Ping already know about what she had done?
Her regretful mood at this moment became even more despondent. Chou Ping trusted her so much that he entrusted her with fifty thousand without even carefully reading the details of the authorization letter.
But she had betrayed his trust.
Everything happened yesterday. After finalizing the investment plan, Kailin brought the money back to the company for reporting because it wasn't a working day, and the plan couldn't be implemented temporarily.
Originally, she planned to wait until today to execute the plan at work.
However, her superior, who was also her senior from school, contacted her and said that a new stock would be issued today, already well-prepared, and it would definitely soar as soon as it opened. As long as she utilized leverage properly, with the wind of the new stock issue, the investment could easily multiply.
Her senior contacted her because he wanted her to use the fifty thousand funds that hadn't been credited yet to invest in this stock.
Initially, Kailin firmly opposed it. However, after her senior's coaxing, analysis, and assurance that there would be no losses and a timely withdrawal would be possible, she surprisingly agreed in a daze.
Shaking her head, Kailin continued to monitor the stock's movements on the screen, silently praying that it wouldn't incur losses.
At this moment, a tall and handsome white man with slightly heavy dark circles walked over.
"Hey, Kailin, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Jerry, are you sure this stock will definitely soar? I suddenly have a bad premonition..."
Jerry's face changed, "Kailin, what nonsense are you talking about? This stock will definitely soar. I've been following it for a long time. It's from a company in the mysterious East, and its development there is booming. If it doesn't rise, it's simply unreasonable!"
Kailin still couldn't cheer up. She said dejectedly, "I hope so."
Jerry patted Kailin's shoulder, then sat down beside her, comforting, "Kailin, don't worry. Even if this investment only doubles, we can earn fifty thousand. With that fifty thousand, we can establish ourselves. With my insight, as long as we choose the right stocks every year, becoming millionaires or even billionaires in the future is definitely not a dream!"
Kailin frowned, "Jerry, how come doubling the investment only amounts to fifty thousand
? Didn't you say you also invested fifty thousand?"
Jerry chuckled, spreading his hands, "Haha, I just said that to make you feel at ease and invest. Wasn't it a white lie..."
