Il se croyait plus malin que moi

Camélia, 23 ans, presque diplômée en Ponts et Chaussées, est l’incarnation d’une jeunesse dorée. Issue de la haute bourgeoisie, elle promène sa beauté insolente avec la grâce de ceux qui ont toujours obtenu ce qu’ils désiraient. Mais son seul vrai trésor, c’est Firmin. À 25 ans, ce garçon studieux, sans père depuis l’enfance, termine un cycle de Management et GRH avec une droiture qui force le respect. Leur amour est un diamant brut : pur, solide, mais que la mère de Firmin refuse de bénir. Pour cette femme aigrie par la vie, Camélia est trop belle. Trop belle pour offrir à son fils un bonheur conjugal durable. Trop belle pour ne pas attirer le malheur. Les remontrances n’y feront rien : Firmin épouse Camélia contre l’avis maternel. Un premier enfant naît. Le couple avance, porté par une complicité à toute épreuve et par la débrouillardise de Firmin, qu’elle épaule sans compter, se ressourçant discrètement auprès de ses parents. Puis vient le jour qui change tout. Firmin reçoit un courriel : une entreprise l’embauche comme DRH. Sa compétence, son aura calme, sa discipline presque austère le distinguent aussitôt de ses collègues masculins plus flamboyants. Très vite, son charme discret opère. Femmes mariées, jeunes célibataires : toutes tombent sous le charme de cet homme qui ne ressemble à aucun autre. Mais dans l’ombre, la jalousie des autres hommes enfle, vénéneuse. On fabrique des messages truqués, on murmure, on tisse une toile. Un après-midi, une collaboratrice complice d’un plan sordide entre dans son bureau, le séduit et force un baiser au moment précis où le directeur général surgit. Le piège se referme. Le lendemain, la lettre de révocation tombe. Quelques jours plus tard, Jonathan, l’instigateur de ce complot, est promu Manager. Firmin, broyé, rentre chez lui, l’avenir en miettes. Il se croyait plus malin que moi, songe peut-être Jonathan en savourant sa victoire. Mais c’est un autre « il » qui va bientôt prononcer cette phrase en son for intérieur. Car la chute de Firmin entraîne le couple dans un gouffre. Les parents de Camélia, qui avaient déjà décliné toute aide financière avant que leur gendre ne trouve ce poste, ferment définitivement les vannes. Sans ressources, humiliée, Camélia voit son mari s’enfoncer. C’est alors qu’un ami l’appelle : une entreprise cherche urgemment des profils en Ponts et Chaussées. Camélia obtient un entretien. Mais pour cela, il lui faut le feu vert de Firmin. L’homme, marqué par la trahison, déchiré à l’idée que la beauté de sa femme devienne un aimant à convoitises, ne cède que lorsqu’elle lui promet fidélité absolue et soutien indéfectible. Elle l’aidera à rebondir, ensemble ils monteront des projets immobiliers, elle veillera sur leur enfant. Elle décroche le poste. L’entreprise est dirigée par des Blancs dont la réputation n’est plus à faire : des pervers impudiques qui collectionnent les employées comme des trophées. L’ami qui l’a pistonnée la met en garde : ne rien céder, ne jamais laisser une brèche. Le premier jour, Gilbert Ducouard, le chef de projet, l’accueille avec une courtoisie glacée. Puis les regards s’appesantissent, les compliments pleuvent, les passages devant son bureau se font plus longs, plus appuyés. Un jour, l’un d’eux, sous couvert d’une plaisanterie, lui frôle les seins. La réaction de Camélia est immédiate, fauve effarouché. L’homme s’excuse d’un sourire forcé et disparaît. Les premières semaines, l’amour entre Camélia et Firmin n’a jamais été aussi intense, comme soudé par l’adversité. Puis vient le basculement. Ses appels ne passent plus aussi bien. Le Blanc qui l’avait effarouchée revient à la charge, miel et insistance. Sur les réseaux sociaux, la conversation glisse, s’envenime de promesses. Un voyage au Canada, un droit de séjour, une vie sans angoisses. Camélia, épuisée par la précarité, le regard éteint de Firmin et l’écho des sacrifices qu’elle s’était jurés, craque.

Reed, a young man that had spent his entire life in the slums wished for a miracle. He dreamt that one day he'd escape the ghetto he had been born in and travel across the world. He longed to embark on an adventure and truly begin living a real life. Alas, it was not meant to be. The stars had other plans in mind for the young man. On the night of his sixteenth birthday, he had his life flipped upside down. Caught in the midst of a confrontation between two rival gangs, Reed suffered a fatal injury. As he laid on the street, Reed couldn't help but laugh at how unfair his life had been from beginning to end. Born poor? Sure. No parents? Okay. No opportunities in life? Fine. But his own miserable life, too? "What more can I be deprived of?" Reed muttered as he struggled to keep his eyes open. A soft voice chuckled and said, "Much, much more, boy. But you'll soon have the opportunity to have all your wishes fulfilled." "...If you can earn the right to obtain them." --------------------------------------------- Let this message serve as a FINAL warning to those who have come in expecting the 'usual' type of story on this site. This is 'NOT' a wish-fulfillment based story. Please do NOT come into this novel with the expectation that you will get some kind of fearless action hero. The MC is everything but that. That he will be... this 'fearless, intrepid' person straight out of the FIRST chapter. A bold, charismatic hero with an unshakable resolve and iron will. Get that irritating preconception out of your head right now if you dare venture further into the story. I KNOW that's what you're expecting because that's the common setup with the stories on this site. I am writing a story about personal growth, above all else. Be forewarned about that. I'm serious. That means that the character has to start from the bottom and work his way UP. Not in only in terms of power, but also in the strength of his character -- as in, maturing INTO someone who will become a hero. Not over the course of a SINGLE chapter like some stories do. Not in SINGLE arc, or volume, but over the course of the ENTIRE STORY. My main character starts off as COWARDLY, INDECISIVE, and WHINY. He is by NO measure a heroic person, or EVEN a whole person. He is weak-willed and flawed because that is how I HAVE WRITTEN him to be, for good reason. Now, it's your right to DISLIKE this decision I've made and not read the novel because of that. Absolutely. If you want an OP power-fantasy, then go find it elsewhere on the site. You do you. Don't let me or anyone stop you from reading what you want. But if you read my novel for what it is and then give it a poor review, criticizing it for having a "flawed, detestable, and pathetic main character," I WILL delete your goddamned review on that point alone. tl;dr: My main character isn't fucking He-Man and the Terminator's baby. He's a human being with all the ugly, pathetic parts you don't like seeing in your OP Reincarnation novels. ------------------------------------------------- Any comment or review you'd leave for the novel is worth more than gold to me. Have a good one.

Farm System, Baby, and a Fortune: My '70s Divorce

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?

Can see through the cards, high-tech
In reality, there were some high-tech cheating methods that could see through the cards. For example, there were special playing cards that could reflect different colors according to different light without marking them. As long as players wore contact lenses and other equipment, they could see the hidden colors and sizes on the back of the playing cards. There was also an electronic scanner that could be hidden in the hem of one's clothes to achieve high-speed scanning and analysis of the playing cards on the table. In addition, there was also a way to cheat by marking the back of the card (such as using a triangle to represent a diamond, an X to represent a club, a horizontal bar to represent a heart, and an unmarked card to represent a spades), and then using contact lenses to see the size and color of the card. These cheating methods not only violated morality, but also involved fraud and other illegal activities.

Quick hand camera
If the camera icon couldn't be found in Fast Hands, it might be due to a version update that caused the location to change. Take the Kuaishou version 10.9.30.28185 and the mobile phone model Glory 9x as an example. You can open the camera in the following ways: open Kuaishou, click [+] in the lower right corner, then click the reddish-orange dot below to start shooting, click [flip] in the upper right corner to switch the front and rear cameras, click [photo] to enter the photo mode, and you can also use beautification, add special effects, and other functions. If the camera couldn't be turned on, it might be because the camera's permission wasn't activated. It could be opened in the permission management. The operation steps were as follows: click the settings icon to enter the phone settings page, click on the rights management page, select the rights, find "Call the camera", and click on or turn off the camera permission in the application list with the camera permission. If the original settings had not been changed, if there was a prompt from the top of the screen that showed that a fast hand was trying to turn on the camera, just select Allow; if not, it might be a problem with the phone. It could also be because the camera function of the phone was not turned on. You could choose to click the "settings" application button on the phone desktop, slide up the phone screen, choose to click the "application management" button in the "settings" option, find the fast hand app APP and click it, and then choose to click the "permission" button on the screen. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
