Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 1 A man cannot live without value

“Has the company’s money been recovered?”

“People and money have left the country.”

"Where are the house and the car?"

"The house had a mortgage, which the bank took over. The car was originally purchased in the company's name, so it now belongs to the company."

"You mean you have nothing now?"

Zhou Yu spread his hands excitedly and blurted out.

But he soon realized that he had said the wrong thing.

This isn't the tone a girlfriend should use.

He picked up the coffee and took a sip, choosing tactical silence.

Jiang Beicheng was not surprised by her reaction.

The two of them didn't get together simply because of love.

Zhou Yu is a young internet celebrity who graduated from the "socialite training class".

Their training class is very comprehensive, teaching you manners, etiquette, tea and wine tasting, fitness, yoga...

The purpose is to catch a rich man.

And she infiltrates high-end social groups to pick up rich men.

Occasionally, there's some fraud involved.

Zhou Yu's rank is a bit low compared to Jiang Beicheng, and he doesn't care about his little tricks and schemes.

Jiang Beicheng was willing to spend money on her simply because he was attracted by her big breasts and perky butt, as well as her enthusiasm for serving her financial sponsor.

It's a pleasant cooperative relationship.

Because of this major family change, Jiang Beicheng is now left with nothing, so it is understandable that Zhou Yu's attitude towards him has become cold.

"If you have anything to say, say it all at once." Jiang Beicheng picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Zhou Yu looked up at Jiang Beicheng, moistened his throat, and expressed his true thoughts.

"We don't actually have much affection for each other. What I like is your money and your social circle. You know my personality and character. Ever since I started the training class, I've never thought about living an ordinary life with others, so... I'm sorry..."

She had wanted to say these words a month ago.

After holding it in until today, she felt that she had considered her boyfriend's feelings.

Jiang Beicheng shook his head, smiled, and waved his hand.

What it means is that you can leave now. It's just a breakup. There's no need for so much explanation.

One sentence is enough, and adults know it well.

Zhou Yu stood up, pulled the hem of her folded-up suspender skirt to cover her round buttocks, then put on the platinum bag that Jiang Beicheng gave her, said "take care", and turned to leave.

There is no bloody and tangled plot of life and death.

Jiang Beicheng just thought of it as losing something he didn't like.

But he felt a little uncomfortable.

His sadness wasn't about breaking up with a woman.

The biggest blow to him from Zhou Yu's words was that they made him feel once again the feeling of a man losing his value.

In fact, it was not just Zhou Yu. Because of this major change in his family, most of his acquaintances and friends also began to distance themselves from him.

The logic by which society measures a man is very simple: it depends on how much value you have.

Having lost the support of his family, Jiang Beicheng now has almost no value in social interactions. This feeling of desolation has caused him great psychological trauma.

Looking back on the first 27 years of my life, the greatest hardship I have ever experienced was the black coffee every morning. I never imagined that I would be so miserable today, being looked down upon and ignored by others.

When he was in junior high school, his father was sent to Africa to open up wasteland. Within two years, he signed several big contracts worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Just from the commission, his family entered the middle class.

When the state-owned enterprise was preparing to call my father back for promotion, he saw an opportunity to start a business in Africa, so he resigned and started a foreign trade business.

He made his fortune by reselling second-hand materials, and then established connections in Kenya to successively obtain the mining rights to three titanium mines.

Jiang Beicheng also went from being a child of the middle class to the second generation of a wealthy family. Later, his parents divorced, and his mother resigned from the school and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship, becoming a benchmark in the city's catering industry.

With two CEO-level parents, life in Jiangbei City is more affluent.

During his college years, the names "Little General Jiang" and "Young Master Jiang" were extremely famous, and the entire university town knew him.

During my senior year, my mother collapsed on the hospital bed due to pancreatic cancer, and the sky in Jiangbei City fell.

After dealing with his mother's funeral, Jiang Beicheng was sent by his father to study in the UK to change his learning and living environment.

I studied for a master's degree in water for one year and then attended classes in the UK for another year.

When he came back two years later, his father's secretary had become his stepmother, and he had a younger brother who was in kindergarten.

He had no idea about these things before.

After I came back, I couldn't get along with my stepmother and felt uncomfortable staying at home.

When I returned to work at the company, I didn’t like my father’s “old cadre” image, which was all about orders and execution.

Young people's thinking and ideas find no opportunity to be put into practice.

He simply lived a life of wine, meat and forests every day, indulging in the vanity of being highly praised by others, and becoming self-degrading and heartless.

Young people in their twenties are easily fooled by the sense of satisfaction that comes from spending money.

I spent tens of millions of dollars in the two or three years after returning to China.

Just when he thought his life would continue to be happy like this, his father Jiang Tao was accidentally killed in Kenya.

Half a year ago, a coup took place in Kenya, local armed forces seized power and began a series of policy reforms.

Foreign investors like Jiang Tao suffered the most. The interim government directly froze their assets and then issued hundreds of millions of dollars in back taxes and fines.

Jiang Tao was accidentally injured while negotiating with the interim government in Kenya two months ago and died despite rescue efforts.

During the time when Jiangbei City was busy dealing with my father's funeral, my stepmother transferred her shares in domestic companies, sold several properties, and took her children to Singapore.

Companies and assets in Africa were also confiscated by the interim government.

The luxury homes and cars in Peninsula No. 1 left to Jiangbei City amount to assets worth hundreds of millions.

However, the villa in Peninsula One was mortgaged by his father in his personal name during his lifetime.

The loan amount is huge.

According to the court's ruling, the bank has the priority right to repayment.

The mansion, valued at over 70 million yuan, and all the valuables in the house, including fine wines and teas, famous watches and paintings, audio equipment, etc., were taken away by the bank.

Then the two luxury cars were also taken back by the company. When they bought the cars, they thought they would deduct taxes for the company, so they used the company's account. Now this company has nothing to do with Jiangbei City, so they came to take them away with justification...

Faced with everything he had lost, Jiang Beicheng had nothing to say except "fuck him".

What dog is better than the script of life?
******!

After reciting a few words of traditional Chinese culture, I felt a little better.

But that’s all for the scolding.

After finally recovering, he didn't want to recall the past, and even less did he want to continue wasting time.

[Rejecting internal friction and facing life with a smile is a positive attitude towards life]

Do you accept your current life difficulties?

Goldfinger?
Jiang Beicheng frowned slightly when he heard the voice.

Somewhat surprised.

Recently, Gold Finger likes to take care of middle-aged men whose careers have been frustrated or whose wives have cheated on them. I didn't expect that today it would fall on him, a rich second-generation who was down and out.

Do you accept the current life difficulties?

Accept it!
Jiang Beicheng chose not to accept it without any hesitation.
