Chapter 1: Goddess or Poor Little Thing!

Qi Yun is very distressed.

He never thought that as a reincarnated person, he would still worry about money.

Half an hour ago, Qi Yun discovered that he had returned from 2021 to 2008 and became a high school senior again.

He happily accepted the fact of his rebirth quickly. After all, in his previous life, he suffered from a terminal illness and died before reaching thirty. Being able to live another life was already a gain.

But he soon realized that things were not so simple. Not only did he reincarnate, but he also brought along a system.

"Angel Investment System:"

"The host selects high-potential stocks for investment and will receive ten times the return! Completing random achievements can also earn magical rewards."

"Appendix 1: The investment target can be people, companies or projects - any target that can generate value."

"Appendix 2: As a positive energy system, judging the quality of targets depends not only on investment returns but also on their social value and impact on the world."

"Appendix 3: The invested target must voluntarily accept the investment and cannot blindly invest just to obtain large returns!"

"Appendix 4: Returns will be distributed in overseas investment company stock dividends as after-tax income. All funding sources are legal and traceable with no safety concerns!"

...

"Appendix 100: The system reserves all rights to interpretation; this system promises not to take any actions harmful to its host!"

"What an annoyingly wordy system!" Qi Yun muttered under his breath.

But ten times return? It's too tempting!

How did I die in my previous life?

Although I didn't do well in college entrance exams, luckily I chose computer science as my major. After graduation, I entered one of China's internet giants where although my salary was good enough but it was always working overtime (996).

After three or four years of work, I felt unfulfilled and decided to start my own business. But entrepreneurship was even more tiring - everything had to be done personally, 24 hours a day.

When the company just started, he thought he would finally become rich but his body completely broke down due to exhaustion.

In the end, didn't I die early in my previous life because of money?

Now that he has a system, why worry about money?

Do I still need to struggle so hard?

But Qi Yun soon realized the problem: He still doesn't have any money!

He can't even find an investment target now let alone invest in it.

Qi Yun counted his cash three times.

137.5 yuan (about $21 USD).

For a high school senior student, this amount is not small. But for investment...

How can you be an investor with only 100+ yuan? It's difficult enough just being a person in society!

...

Just as Qi Yun was lost in thought, the bell rang for class dismissal.

"Qi Yun, what are you daydreaming about? Go buy dinner!" A chubby boy ran up to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun remembered that this person's name was Wang Shang and they had been classmates since junior high school with a good relationship.

The high school where Qi Yun studied was Chun Cheng No.1 High School, a key high school in the city. In order to increase the admission rate, they couldn't go home after afternoon classes and had three self-study classes at night.

Students who lived far away from school like Qi Yun and Wang Shang wouldn't go home for dinner but instead bought food from small stalls outside the school gate.

Most students in their class did this too.

Qi Yun and Wang Shang walked out of the back door together when suddenly a girl sitting in front of it caught his attention.

She wore a white-washed uniform and sat on her chair with her head down. Her long bangs almost covered half of her face.

Other students were walking out while she remained still, taking out a small plastic bag from her desk drawer.

Opening it revealed a slightly hardened steamed bun inside - apparently that was all she had for dinner without even any pickles!

Lián Qīng Xuě!

A thunderbolt exploded in Qi Yun's mind!

Potential stock?

Is there anything better than Lián Qīng Xuě as potential stock?

In high school, Lián Qīng Xuě could be said to be one of the most inconspicuous girls in their class. It is said that she is an orphan who sits alone in the corner of classroom wearing only one uniform all year round; always keeping her head down speaking softly without being very sociable.

The only thing remarkable about her is that she has excellent grades which allowed her to enter this key high school with the help of subsidies and has always been ranked first in their class.

But Qi Yun knew that Lián Qīng Xuě now was just like a hidden gem covered in dust.

Ten years later, she would be running a world top 500 high-tech enterprise.

What's more interesting is that not only is she a CEO but also her appearance surpasses many female stars in the entertainment industry. She can not only appear on financial magazines because of her wealth but also on fashion magazines because of her looks.

There are groups of men online shouting "wife" at her photos, and even more amusingly, there are groups of women calling her "husband".

In fact, most classmates wouldn't know about Lián Qīng Xuě's transformation after ten years since they had almost no contact with each other after graduation.

However, Qi Yun knows very well because he had reunited with Lián Qīng Xuě once before - or to be precise - she helped him once in his past life.
