Jiang Feng, Let’s Break Up

In the hotel, Jiang Feng first checked the balance of his bank card. At the moment, there was 100 million in his card! As he looked at the money, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile.

In one night, his 10 million had increased tenfold! From a multi-millionaire, he had instantly become a billionaire! If this had happened to anyone else, they would have already begun jumping in excitement and shouting. But in Jiang Feng's eyes, thanks to the system, this 100 million would be just the beginning!

...

Pushing away these thoughts, Jiang Feng got out of bed and began to take selfies. Then, he looked for some pictures on the internet before he picked up his phone again and started to edit them. He worked on the picture he had just found by using a nine-square grid. Then, he added two lines of text.

"Not everyone can win the Battle of Bitcoin. Success or failure often happens overnight!"

"The investment failed. I'll just start all over again!"

He typed out these simple lines, pressed OK, and posted them on his moments. He didn't set up a reminder for anyone to see. He just casually made a post. He simply wanted to complete the mission of the system and make a joke out of it.

In the photos, he had deliberately made it look like he was down and out. He also attached a screenshot of the news report on the collapse of Bitcoin, as well as the transaction record of him buying 10 million in Bitcoin.

After doing all this, Jiang Feng leisurely began to brush his teeth and wash his face. Smelling the stench of alcohol on his body, he also took a shower. After cleaning up completely, he leisurely walked out of the hotel.

...

It was already noon, and Jiang Feng's stomach was growling from hunger. Last night, he had been so engrossed in drinking that he hadn't even eaten a few peanuts. Now, he felt as hungry as a wolf! Therefore, once he left the hotel, Jiang Feng wanted to have a good meal first.

Shanghai's Dongpu District was very close to Shen Wen's company. Jiang Feng remembered that Shen Wen worked there. He was Jiang Feng's best friend, and the two of them had gone to high school and later to university together. They had been very good friends in the past few years.

When he was in school, Jiang Feng used to help him handle the things that he couldn't deal with. If anything good happened, Jiang Feng would also think of his good friend. This time, he had made a huge profit by selling Bitcoin. Jiang Feng naturally had to celebrate. Walking along the street, he took his cell phone out of his pocket. He then got ready to call Shen Wen.

At this hour, he should have gotten off work, so they could just have a meal together. But the moment he opened his phone's interface, dozens of red WeChat messages immediately attracted his attention. With a hint of interest, Jiang Feng opened his WeChat Moments. He had never expected that, in just an hour, his WeChat Moments would explode! The first message that he saw was actually someone else's post.

"This is hilarious! Hahahaha, someone actually dared to buy Bitcoin these days, and he lost 10 million. I can't take it anymore! I've been laughing so hard that my stomach's started to hurt! Ahahaha!"

After looking at this post, Jiang Feng scrolled down. The pictures he saw were all from his WeChat Moments. Upon looking at the person who had made the post, Jiang Feng was stunned. This guy was a college classmate who had wanted him to find him a job. Yesterday, he had been trying to please him, but today, he was scolding him in his moments! This made Jiang Feng feel a little confused.

Could they have taken one of his Moments too seriously? Weren't the WeChat Moments a place for everyone to share entertaining news? Jiang Feng had posted this piece of news, and the guy had believed it? Filled with doubt, Jiang Feng continued to scroll down. After a few posts, as expected, he saw that someone had posted the same thing.

"This is how you became the favored son of heaven. All your professional knowledge should be taken with a grain of salt!"

"If only you had lent me all your money yesterday, it wouldn't have been wasted. This is the end of our friendship, you piece of trash!"

Jiang Feng looked at the straightforward post and the accompanying picture below, shaking his head with a bitter smile. He hadn't expected Sun Shijie to be such a person. Jiang Feng had always treated him as a good friend. During the college exams, Jiang Feng had taken the risk to let him copy off him many times. How many times had he lent him the money that he didn't have every month? As a former roommate of his, there was no need for him to mention other big and small things. At the end of the day, he was such an ingrate!

When he had seen Jiang Feng's Moments, not only had he not wondered whether it was all true or not, but he had not cared either. Instead, he had cut off all his ties to him and even insulted him! Jiang Feng could see his true colors clearly. If this kind of thing had happened to someone else, they might have directly opened their mouth in anger. But Jiang Feng was still very calm, as he remembered what the system had said yesterday.

"Finish the mission as soon as possible and experience the cold and warm side of life!"

Now, he finally understood. The system had wanted him to see the hearts of the people around him clearly! Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng felt much calmer! He knew that there was definitely more than one person like Sun Shijie out there.

Controlling his emotions, Jiang Feng continued to scroll down. Sure enough, there were also comments and curses posted by other people among his Moments. This allowed Jiang Feng to see quite a few people clearly. By the time he scrolled through all the moments, he had clicked on hundreds of red messages. A moment later, countless more messages flooded in. There were 70 to 80 likes for this post alone, and there were more than 100 comments below!

"Good guy! He's still learning how to play with virtual currencies despite that cowardly look of his. Don't you see what he's made of?"

"Last night, he was still a multimillionaire. Today, he has become a poor dog again. I knew long ago that this guy wouldn't remain rich!"

"Look at his eyes in the photo. They're all bloodshot. Damn you, you're a prodigal son!"

"How can you call yourself a proud son of heaven? You had so much financial knowledge, but you still let the dogs eat you. In the end, you remain a piece of trash!"

"Jiang Feng, how does it feel to be poor? You were poor when you were in school, and you're still poor now. You'll never be better than me!"

"This kind of thing could happen to me? This is too ridiculous! Delete friend. I feel unlucky just by looking at your account!"

"..."

Looking at the countless comments, Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and sighed. He had only posted a message, and they hadn't even asked him about it. They just didn't know whether it was true or not, yet they had directly hit him while he was down! Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng finally understood.

When he had been rich yesterday, each of them had been more attentive than the last, and every single person had treated him better than the last one. When his investment had failed, they had stepped on him with all their might! Many of them used to be his classmates. They were all finance majors, and everyone knew that investing was risky, so it was understandable that he would fail.

However, they had forgotten that they had said yesterday that they would help him change jobs. Instead, they swore at him and mocked him openly! It turned out that they had not really wanted to help. They would rather live on the streets in poverty and become beggars that no one wanted to deal with. And they would never reach out to help.

As the saying goes, the poor might play with ten steel hooks in the street, but they would not hurt their own relatives. On the other hand, the rich could not tell who was loyal and who was not. Sure enough, the saying was right! Yesterday, they had not cared about Jiang Feng, but for the benefits that Jiang Feng could have brought them.

Only when people were at their most down and out could they see clearly what kind of people their relatives and friends were. Who truly cared about them and who was only acting and was totally different behind the scenes! Looking at his short circle of friends, Jiang Feng could not help but sigh. His current circle was completely realistic!

'I wonder what my girlfriend, who likes to spend money recklessly, would do if she knew this?'

Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but think of his girlfriend. And as Jiang Feng sighed, a call came. Speak of the devil, and she shall appear. The call was from his girlfriend, Yu Jia. Jiang Feng looked at the phone, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button.

"Jia Jia, I..."

"Jiang Feng, let's break up."

When the call went through. Jiang Feng didn't even have the time to finish his sentence. From the other side, Yu Jia's cold voice could be heard. Before Jiang Feng could finish his sentence, he heard her angry voice.

"You useless piece of trash, I must really have been blind to be interested in a guy like you!"
