"Julie, what about you! I spent all the money I owed my parents on you."

"Where did you get all those designer brands? How did you develop your princess-like temperament? If you weren't so spoiled, would our family be able to spend so much of your parents' money?"

"I've put up with you for a long time too!"

Julie was stunned, unable to believe that Su Mingcheng had said this. Fighting back tears, she gritted her teeth and asked, "You've been putting up with me all this time, haven't you?"

Su Mingcheng, with his neck stiff, said, "Yes."

Julie's tears immediately started falling in a steady stream. She grabbed her clothes, covered her mouth, and ran away without looking back, her sobs still faintly audible.

Su Mingcheng wanted to get up and chase after him, but he held back.

He wanted to be a real man, no longer the man who only knew how to kneel before his wife. Julie just thought he was incompetent and poor!

He's seized the opportunity; he's going to make money, make a lot of money!

Let Julie see that he misjudged me. I, Su Mingcheng, am also very capable. Once he succeeds and makes a fortune, won't Julie come back?

Mingcheng pondered for a long time, but in the end, he hardened his heart.

Chapter 24 Metaverse

In the United States, a major news story has recently occurred in the technology sector, keeping Li Mu noticeably busy.

A global technology giant suddenly announced a major foray into the metaverse.

The term metaverse originated from the 1992 science fiction novel Avalanche, which describes a vast virtual reality world.

The term "metaverse" here actually refers to the VR virtual reality technology developed by Olkus, a company under Li Mu's name.

VR (Virtual Reality) technology was originally a niche industry, with a small number of products and low brand awareness.

With the strong promotion and large-scale publicity of this tech giant, not only has the concept of the metaverse spread all over the world, but the VR virtual reality technology used to realize the concept of the metaverse has also reached the ears of countless people.

Such amazing technology, though still imperfect, has already stirred the interest of countless people.

Capital, by nature driven by the pursuit of profit, is no exception this time. With the explosive popularity of the metaverse concept, a series of technology companies developing VR virtual reality technology have been wildly sought after by capital overnight.

Olkus Technology, under Li Mu's name, already has a strong foundation in VR virtual reality technology and is a very high-quality company in the industry, even on a global scale.

This wave has also attracted a great deal of capital investment.

During this period, countless investment institutions have been contacting Li Mu with cash in hand, wanting to invest, and the valuation they have offered has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

He did not rush into a decision, but planned to observe further, see the trend clearly, and choose a suitable investment institution to enter the market.

……

Just as Li Mu was busy, something else happened back home: Boss Shen ran off with the money.

When Mingcheng heard the news, it was as if the sky had fallen; he felt dizzy and disoriented. He could never have predicted such an outcome.

He was still dreaming of making a fortune!

He also wanted to show those around him that Su Mingcheng was not an incompetent person.

Especially Lili, who hasn't spoken to him since she left that night.

He went to his mother-in-law's house once and was scolded. Lili still didn't come back, so he got angry and never went again.

He envisioned making a successful investment, earning a lot of money, impressing Lili, and truly establishing his position in the family.

Now, it's all over.

Not only was his money gone, but his confidence, ambition, and hope were all gone too.

One million, that's one million! How many years will it take to pay it off? Is there any hope left for him?

He wished it were all a nightmare, and that when he woke up, he would still be living a sweet and loving life with Lili.

Unfortunately, it's true.

Su Mingcheng was filled with endless regret. He regretted it, he regretted it so much. He regretted not listening to Lili. If only he hadn't invested in this project.

On the other hand, Su Mingcheng's personality itself is flawed. He has lived under his mother's wing since childhood and has never experienced setbacks in life.

When faced with problems, they tend to evade and shirk responsibility.

At this point, he began to hate someone named "Manager Zhou." In his mind, he was entirely responsible for ending up in this predicament.

If Manager Zhou hadn't revealed the investment information and confidently assured him that it would be profitable, he wouldn't have participated; if it weren't for Manager Zhou's words last time, he might have softened his heart, listened to Lili, and actually withdrawn.

They were living a simple life together, far from their current situation.

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated he became. He even began to suspect that Manager Zhou and Boss Shen were conspiring to commit fraud.

This extreme emotion naturally spilled over into her work. That day, she got into a huge conflict with Manager Zhou over a trivial matter and publicly declared that she suspected Manager Zhou and Boss Shen of conspiring to commit fraud.

Manager Zhou, furious, swore an oath on the spot to prove his innocence, and the relationship between the two hit a freezing point.

The two continued to clash over the next few days.

The difference is that Manager Zhou has also started to take action.

As it turns out, Manager Zhou was far more shrewd than Su Mingcheng. Coupled with her high position and extensive connections, dealing with Su Mingcheng was as easy as manipulating a child.

Within days, Su Mingcheng found himself unable to make any progress at the company, encountering obstacles everywhere, and was on the verge of being fired.

He was under increasing pressure and became more and more silent. In the end, he simply decided to give up and just drift through life, but then he was fired.

He dared not tell anyone about his failed business and investments; he needed a fig leaf to maintain his pitiful self-esteem.

……

After losing his job, he became completely despondent, spending his days drinking and playing video games to numb himself and forget the unpleasant things in life.

One day, after drinking quite a bit of alcohol, he was slightly drunk and wandering aimlessly through the streets in dirty, smelly clothes.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance—it was Lili! Dressed in a professional suit that accentuated her curves, she walked confidently and proudly down the street, seemingly from a completely different world from him.

In that instant, it was as if a thunderbolt struck Mingcheng's mind, and for the first time he realized how pathetic he looked.

Feeling ashamed of himself, he hurriedly hid to the side, not wanting Lili to see him in such a disheveled and bald state.

On that very day, he began to reflect on himself, realizing that if he continued in this state, Lili would leave forever, and he would forever be labeled a loser.

After tidying up again, Mingcheng started looking for a job.

However, to his dismay, he interviewed with several companies, performed well, and the hiring companies were satisfied, but he was always inexplicably rejected in the end.

After experiencing more, he realized that someone was sabotaging him behind the scenes.

Who else could it be but Manager Zhou?

After making inquiries from various sources, it was finally understood that Manager Zhou had declared that as long as he was still in this industry in Suzhou, he would ensure that his family would never have a bite to eat.

When Manager Zhou, whom he hated so much, reappeared in his life in this way, Mingcheng, whose heart was already full of emotions, completely broke down.

……

In the afternoon, Su Mingcheng bought several bottles of liquor and some cold dishes. He drank alone at home, crying and regretting as he drank. He didn't know why he had been so unlucky and unfortunate since his mother passed away. All the bad things had happened to him.

Images flashed through my mind: my parents, Lili, my older brother, Mingyu, and then Manager Zhou's hateful face.

For some reason, Mingyu, whom I used to hate the most, now evokes no feelings at all, and all my anger is focused on Manager Zhou.

It's all her fault... it's all Manager Zhou's fault that I've suffered so much. Lili is gone, I've lost my job, I'm left with nothing and a huge debt.

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated he became. He just wanted to vent, to let off steam and vent his anger.

Supported by this belief, he staggered downstairs, slightly drunk, waved for a taxi, and headed towards the residential area where Manager Zhou lived.

Having worked with Manager Zhou for so many years, Mingcheng knew exactly where she lived, what kind of car she drove, and how many people lived in her family.

……

Chapter 25 Revenge

The investment failure also caused Manager Zhou some financial strain, but fortunately, the negative impact has gradually faded, and with his solid family background, he is still living a good life and his standard of living has not declined as a result.

The only thing that bothered her was that kid Su Mingcheng, who dared to nitpick and find fault with her. Since she had nowhere to vent her anger, she gave him a good dressing down and kicked him out of the company.

She even used a lot of personal connections; as long as the other party was in this line of work, she guaranteed that he would have no place to stand in Suzhou.

In this way, the anger in my heart finally subsided a lot.

As for what happens to Su Mingcheng, who cares!

We are all adults and should be responsible for our own actions.

Manager Zhou drove his car into the underground parking garage, listening to soft music the whole way.

As soon as she opened the car door and got out, a dark figure pounced on her from a distance and punched her to the ground with a "bang".

Manager Zhou gasped in surprise. In the dim light, she could see Su Mingcheng's face clearly. He was staring at her with bloodshot eyes.

Manager Zhou was startled and mustered his courage to shout, "Su Mingcheng, what are you doing? The investment failure has nothing to do with me. I'm a victim too, and I lost even more than you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Mingcheng threw another punch.

Manager Zhou had just sat up when he was knocked to the ground again, crying out in terror, "Mingcheng, you can't do this! Hitting people is illegal, you'll go to jail..."

However, Su Mingcheng's mind was already filled with hatred, and he only wanted revenge, so he didn't listen to what Manager Zhou was saying at all.
