A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Fatty's story... well, it's hard to say.

It turns out that the plane crashing into the building was indeed an attack, and based on the photos taken at the scene, not only were they reprinted and cited by many domestic media outlets, but newspapers in the United States also reprinted them.

And some of the photos were so outstanding that they caught the eye of the editor-in-chief of The New York Times.

The other party contacted him and asked if he would like to work at The New York Times.

Fatty didn't have any particular interest in America at first, but something happened along the way.

Brother Bie's health has deteriorated.

It turns out that the reason Brother Bie was so thin was because a few years ago he was diagnosed with a tumor in his gastrointestinal lymph nodes. After surgery, his digestive system started to have problems. During a follow-up checkup, it was discovered that the tumor had recurred and was turning from benign to malignant... Suddenly, Brother Bie fell ill.

Originally, because of his outstanding performance in the 9/11 attacks, Fatty no longer had Bieyan's guidance, and coupled with some personnel changes in the company, he felt somewhat unhappy.

After Wang Hai sent his son to study in the United States, the whole family gradually began to immigrate. Every time he returned to China, he would invite Fatty to a party, always talking about how great America was... Fatty already had a bad impression of America because of 9/11. After all, as a tourist, it's no wonder he had a bad impression when he first arrived and witnessed a plane crashing into a building.

As the saying goes, even a hero can't resist a tortoise's persuasion.

That's quite apt.

After a while, Fatty felt unhappy in China, so he tried to contact the editor-in-chief of The New York Times, then resigned and joined The New York Times.

When he joined the company, the other party was quite disappointed, saying that if he had been able to join at that time, the New York Times would have used its connections to help him get a green card, or even become a citizen, so that the fat guy might have been able to win the legendary "Pulitz Award" based on his photo.

After all, the winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize was another journalist who took photos of the 9/11 scene.

As the Oscars of journalism, this award is actually quite attractive to all journalists.

But anyway, Fatty had a new environment, was actively learning English, and working hard... plus the millions of dollars he'd won in the lottery, and Wei's local network of friends, so he was living a pretty happy life. Until...

He got married.

When the topic turned to his "ex-wife," Fatty's emotions underwent a noticeable change:

"That bitch..."

He met his ex-wife at a dinner party hosted by the newspaper. The chubby guy, who wasn't ugly to begin with, met his ex-wife, who was wearing a formal dress that day, and it was like a golden breeze and jade dew meeting... He completely lost his virginity.

Not only that, the two were like dry tinder, they got married after knowing each other for only four months and also successfully became citizens.

At first glance, the couple seemed to have a loving relationship, a happy life, and excellent career prospects. Fatty could be considered a winner in life.

But not.

The ex-wife was not Fatty's promised land. On the contrary, the reason why this foreign woman appeared at that banquet was precisely to find a rich husband.

The chubby guy, who had never been in a relationship and was incredibly naive, wasn't her first target. But as he opened up, and she learned that he was actually a small-time tycoon, her ex-wife changed her mind.

What happened next was quite dramatic.

When he joyfully welcomed the birth of his first child, he saw a baby who was clearly of mixed race (Black and White)...

My worldview collapsed instantly.

According to Fatty, his ex-wife herself admitted that it was an accident she couldn't resist... because Fatty was traveling all over the United States at that time, and she was too lonely.

But to my surprise... it was actually that accurate.

So, things became very simple.

Feeling betrayed, the chubby guy insisted on getting a divorce, but getting a divorce in America...

Ha ha.

His ex-wife's sister took a large share of his assets, and every month he also had to pay a large sum of child support to the mother and daughter, depending on their financial situation before the division of assets.

Adding to the blow of being betrayed in his relationship, Fatty Brother instantly became depressed.

He skipped work, drank heavily, overate, suffered emotional breakdowns, developed psychological problems, and was eventually dismissed.

His once bright life was plunged into an abyss because of a prostitute.

Of course, it wasn't that no one saved him.

At the time, he made an investment in stocks of two companies, Apple and Google, which were very valuable. After investing, he entrusted the management to Brother Wei. Although his ex-wife took a portion of the shares, logically speaking, if he didn't sell them, he could have lived a comfortable life simply by waiting for dividends or selling a small portion each year.

So, during Fatty's most difficult time, his friends were the ones who helped him pull through that critical moment...

Li Mu didn't quite understand what the "kill line" was, but he could grasp the concept to some extent.

Then... Fatty reunited with Cai Lan in the United States.

The old man didn't actually remember the young reporter who had interviewed him, but Wei Ge's network of connections was undeniable, and everyone sighed with sympathy after hearing about Fatty's story, especially given his obese body and greasy appearance.

Then, by chance, Cai Lan introduced him to a friend who was a chef.

The chubby guy and the old man hit it off, so they opened a restaurant together in Queens.

The people around him were quite happy to see that Fatty had emerged from his gloom.

As it turns out, Fatty Brother actually has a real talent for cooking. Over the course of a few years, he learned most of the skills from the old man who was both his mentor and friend.

And most importantly, he and the old man got along very well; they were close friends despite their age difference.

Then... the old man left too.

He died in a robbery.

Having completely shaken off the shadows of the past, Fatty was hit with another blow and became depressed.

So, the restaurant, which had once reached its peak and earned a Michelin star, fell into decline as the chef began to drink heavily again. In the end, the fat guy sold the restaurant and used his savings to live a completely reclusive, fat, and lazy life.

Even now.

And this is Fatty's story.

Li Mu was speechless.

Although he sympathized with the other man, looking at the dejected fat man in front of him, he knew that all he could do was "kill" him.

Consider it... a reward for changing the timeline.

He said this to himself silently.

Then a very crucial question was asked:

"When did you buy the Apple and Google stocks you mentioned? Could you tell me how profitable they are?"

……

"Ring ring..."

"Ring ring..."

The phone rang urgently.

A dozen seconds later, Li Mu's somewhat hoarse voice rang out:

"Feed?"

"Xiao Li, where are you now?"

"Uh... Brother, I'm still at a friend's house."

Upon hearing this, Bieyan asked:

"Do you dare to do a live interview?"

Li Mu's somewhat vacant eyes slowly regained focus. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Okay, now?"

"Not now, but in a little while. I'll send you an address now, go there and coordinate with them. There are journalists from the Chinese community there, and you might be doing a live interview together today. Get ready and go find them now."

"Uh... okay. I'll head over now."

"Yes, they'll tell you the specifics. You should go now."

"OK."

Li Mu responded and immediately jumped up from the sofa.

moment.

He got into a taxi, glanced at his phone, and then gave the driver the address in a perfect American accent.

Just like the locals who have lived here since childhood.
