Ruins of the past

Seeing Zhou Bai's confused look in front of him, Chu Qiguang frowned. He didn't feel any falseness or artificiality from the other person.

The Zhou Bai in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary mortal, living an ordinary life in this urban world that resembled the modern earth.

Chu Qiguang repeatedly observed the other party's body and mind, and found neither special memories nor extraordinary power.

"What is this? Sealing your own memory and power? Want to live an ordinary life?"

"If you are just trying to default on your debt, it would be really difficult to reach this point..."

"And..." Chu Qiguang looked at his surroundings, then at his own attire, and thought to himself: 'This seems to be the first time I talked to Zhou Bai, right? The next thing should be the bet I made with him...'

‘Is he allowing himself to recall his experiences on Earth? ’

When Zhou Bai looked at the weird man in front of him who kept talking to himself, he felt that although he was exquisitely dressed, he was talking nonsense, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he found that the weirdo was standing in front of him again. He reached out and took out a stack of cash: "Do you want it?"

Zhou Bai hesitated for a moment, and the other party seemed to know what he was suspecting, so he directly stuffed the stack of cash into his hand: "Here you go."

Zhou Bai silently stuffed the money directly into his pocket and explained: "I can accept the money, but no matter what you ask me to do, I won't do it, because..."

As if the weirdo in front of him knew what he was thinking, he said directly: "Because getting something for nothing is Zhou Bai's dream."

Zhou Bai suddenly opened his eyes wide, surprised that the weirdo in front of him actually knew his dream.

"You don't have to do anything for me."

Chu Qiguang took out another stack of cash from nowhere, pointed to the zebra crossing at the intersection not far away and said:

"Let's bet on whether the next person crossing the road is a man or a woman. If you win, I will give you one hundred thousand. If you lose, I won't take a penny from you. You..."

"I bet!" Before Chu Qiguang finished speaking, Zhou Bai said firmly: "For my dream, I bet that the next person crossing the road will be a man!"

Seeing the other party's excitement, Chu Qiguang curled his lips, looked at the sidewalk and said, "Here he comes."

Then I saw a man running hurriedly towards the sidewalk. Because he was jogging all the way, he quickly surpassed the passers-by in front and was about to step on the zebra crossing.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bai immediately smiled excitedly, and Chu Qiguang on the side seemed to be able to hear the other person's beating heartbeat.

But the next moment, the briefcase in the man's hand suddenly fell to the ground. The documents were scattered on the floor and he could only squat down to pick them up.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bai's heart tightened, and his breathing seemed to slow down for half a beat, with strong disappointment in his eyes.

After watching the man stop, a woman suddenly got out of the car and walked over on the other side of the zebra crossing.

After seeing that the woman was about to step onto the zebra crossing, Zhou Bai's breathing slowed down and his eyes were fixed on the walking woman.

At this moment, the man on the other side had already picked up the documents on the ground, and watched the two of them walking towards the sidewalk at the same time, almost stepping onto the zebra crossing at a speed that was difficult to distinguish.

Zhou Bai watched this scene back and forth, and finally asked nervously: "Which one of them came first? Was it the man?"

Chu Qiguang rolled his eyes: "Are you a fool?"

Zhou Bai: "Huh?"

Chu Qiguang continued: "I am very rich, but I am not a fool. Do you really think I would spend 100,000 to make such a bet with you? Are you one of those people on the Internet who eat shit until the rich go bankrupt? Too much?"

Zhou Bai said angrily: "Are you kidding me?"

Chu Qiguang laughed: "What else?"

"But it's not me playing tricks on you, it's money playing tricks on you."

"Look at how cowardly you were just now. You obviously gained nothing and lost nothing. You didn't experience any transactions, but you were ecstatic and sad at the same time."

"This is how you get tricked by money."

Seeing Zhou Bai turn and leave angrily, Chu Qiguang touched his chin and recalled the content of his first conversation with Zhou Bai.

Just listen to him talking to himself: "I'll reminisce with you and see what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd."

"Speaking of which, if this place is really built according to the memories of the Earth Era, then my properties should also..."

…

That night, while Zhou Bai was eating, he used his mobile phone to search online for some questions that had long troubled him: "How can I make money without working?"

"Which company is best for retirement..."

“Ten ways to increase your chances of winning the lottery…”

As a young man with dreams, execution ability and determination, Zhou Bai thinks and studies these issues every day.

Such self-discipline for ten years has brought a lot of failure experience to him, and it has also made him understand more and more about the operation of this society.

Today, when he was studying as usual, the entire cafeteria had become silent without realizing it. Only Zhou Bai was eating and playing with his mobile phone.

When he noticed this, he saw a man walking in wearing a suit and leather shoes and sat directly in front of him.

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and said: "Good evening, do you still remember me?"

Zhou Bai frowned: "It's you again?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "Do you want to know how to achieve financial freedom?"

Zhou Bai sighed and said, "Are you targeting me? Did I offend you somewhere..."

Chu Qiguang interrupted the other party's speculation, directly put a box on the table, opened it, pointed at the cash piled inside and said: "There are two million in total here, all for you."

Seeing that the other party's breathing was quickening, Chu Qiguang continued: "I saw a piece of news three days ago. A college student went to the communication base for an internship during the summer vacation. Not only did he not spend a penny, but he also had two months of food. In the end, I also made a thousand yuan by using the Internet there as a game companion..."

"At that time, I felt that this college student had some talent. Maybe he was the talent I had been looking for."

"So I sent someone to investigate this talent's information, including all the information about him from his birth to his time in university..."

"I am now very sure that he is the peerless genius that our company has always longed for and been in urgent need of."

Zhou Bai looked at Chu Qiguang with suspicion and asked, "Could this genius you are talking about be me?"

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and said: "It's you. I just wanted to teach you how to get rid of the control of money at noon today, but it seems that I was a little too hasty..."

Zhou Bai looked at the money in the box and interrupted: "I will never go to work."

Chu Qiguang just stretched out his hand and pushed the box in front of the other party: "I will give you these two million to spend as you wish."

"I will come to you next month. If you are willing to become my employee, I can give you two million every month."
