Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 1

Wucheng City, in an Commerce Park.

Zachary Cheng left the live broadcast room where the female anchor was delivering goods and returned to his office.

He sat down on the chair, deftly picked up a cigarette, and then picked up the Dupont lighter on the table.

Zachary Cheng raised his thumb, opened the lid of the lighter, and made an extremely clear "ding!"

His Dupont Langsheng lighter has an official price of 13,200.

According to what he said, he bought it just to hear the sound.

In the office, Zachary Cheng smoked unscrupulously and even put his feet directly on the desk.

He picked up his phone and opened Douyin, and what he saw was his own female anchor, working hard to bring goods.

Zachary Cheng looked at it for half a minute and then crossed over.

"I'm very confident about Yiyi's business capabilities."

Yiyi is the first anchor sister in his company, and she was brought up by him.

She alone can earn him nearly eight figures a year.

There is definitely a gap between this and those leading anchors.

But it was enough to make Zachary Cheng earn a lot of money.

Zachary Cheng was also kind to her. In return, he would occasionally discuss big projects worth hundreds of millions with her in the suite of a star-rated hotel.

There is no way, Chairman Zachary Cheng, Yiyi is sensible.

The next TikTok he saw was an interactive one.

There is a sentence written on the picture: "If you were given a chance to go back to the past and be reborn, would you want it?"

This TikTok has more than 2,000 comments.

Cheng, who was bored, clicked and took a look, and sure enough, the vast majority of people said they wanted it.

Some people want to make up for their love, some want to go back in time to make money, some want to study hard... there are all kinds of things.

Zachary Cheng held a cigarette in his mouth and typed a comment: "I don't want to."

Then, there is also a picture.

That was a screenshot of the balance of one of his bank cards, but there was more than six million in this card.

I am young and promising, and I have more than six million in one card. Let me send it to you again!

He was reborn as Pan Kan when he was impoverished.

Among this circle of friends, Zachary Cheng is recognized by everyone as the most aggressive person, and he is the most aggressive.

Although it is the nature of most people to show off, this guy really can do it!

He lived a more free and unrestrained life than most people, and was a little unruly.

Unlike some of his friends who want to show off but have to beat around the bush.

And his comment is undoubtedly extremely conspicuous among thousands of comments.

It didn’t take long for him to receive several replies:

"Where did I find the picture online? It seems so real."

"There is a chance that the mosaic will be treated as a fake picture."

"If it were reality and you had 6 million in a card, I would call you a boss, but this is Douyin, so I can only say that you're not even interested."

"Damn it, he pretended!"

"Delete it and I'll post it!"

"I have ten thousand pictures like this in my album!"

Zachary Cheng put out his cigarette in the ashtray, smiled indifferently, and would not reply to these comments.

When the light from the cigarette was completely extinguished, he suddenly felt dizzy.

The next moment, he completely lost consciousness.

...

...

Zachary Cheng! Zachary Cheng! "

A female voice began to ring in his ears.

His vision began to gradually recover, and he saw a girl with long chestnut hair standing in front of him with an annoyed look on her face.

There were cigarettes scattered on the ground.

The scene in front of him made Zachary Cheng feel somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

Beside him and the girl, there were two men and one woman standing.

One of the boys also said to Zachary Cheng: "Zachary Cheng, although we have graduated from high school, smoking is harmful to health after all, and you shouldn't talk to Lina Li like this."

The next moment, Zachary Cheng felt that his brain was a little swollen, and many memories that were already a little fuzzy became clearer and clearer at this moment - Damn it, dead memories are starting to attack me!

He remembered that this was the summer of 2014, the summer after graduating from high school. He confirmed his relationship with the girl named Lina Li in front of him and fell in love for the first time in his life.

This was the first time the two had a big quarrel, and Lina Li broke up.

The adolescent boy was somewhat middle-class and non-mainstream. The heartbroken Zachary Cheng began to learn to smoke, and he even smoked deliberately to show Li Lina.

Its nature is a bit like a girl getting drunk after a breakup, deliberately drinking too much and then calling the boy to explain her pain.

Later, when he thought about how he had embarked on the smoke path and made outstanding contributions to the country's military expenditure, he felt very stupid.

The boy who just accused Zachary Cheng was the monitor of their class, named Ray Li .

My academic performance is good, my family is rich, and my father drives a Mercedes-Benz S350. But the car is actually a Mercedes-Benz S300, and the label was changed to S350.

Ray Li has always liked Li Lina. The parents of the two families seem to be from the same village, and the two have known each other since childhood.

But how do you say something?

Green plums are no match for falling from the sky.

Ray Li is not tall and not handsome. Unlike Zachary Cheng, who is 1.8cm tall and somewhat handsome.

During this first love, what annoyed Zachary Cheng most was Ray Li .

Under the guise of making friends, I chatted with Lina Li every day. Every time the young couple quarreled, he would immediately go to Lina Li to comfort her in various ways. He would also invite her out for dinner and movies, but all under the guise that we had grown up together.

Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will try his best to show how gentle and considerate he is, and he is a complete warm man.

It's a pity that Lina Li is still a pretty girl at this stage and has not yet transformed into a money worshiper.

The dead memory continued to attack Zachary Cheng. He remembered that after the big fight, he went to Lina Li again to apologize and reconcile.

Obviously the reason for the quarrel in the beginning was because she was being too pretentious, but for Zachary Cheng at this stage, she would surrender foolishly as soon as she mentioned the word "break up".

Of course, the final result was that the two really reconciled, and Ray Li was like a tool, enlightening Lina Li for three days, and then she kicked him aside and issued a good brother card.

These days, it is still popular among student parties to identify one's brother with one's sister.

It's like Xu Song is still singing in the song: "She is just my sister~~"

At this moment, Ray Li saw that Zachary Cheng was still silent and couldn't help but said: "Zachary Cheng, it's wrong for you to learn to smoke. Don't you see how angry Lina is?"

Among the other men and women standing nearby, a boy with dark skin and acne said: "Brother Cheng, let's stop smoking. It's really bad for your health."

Zachary Cheng glanced at the boy named Andrew Wang , and his eyes softened a little.

Andrew Wang 's father is a firefighter. According to the saying "safety first", he named his baby son this way.

He was Zachary Cheng's high school classmate. The two lived in the same community and were considered best friends during their student days.

As for the girl standing next to Andrew Wang , her name is Rachel Chen , who is Li Lina's best friend.

He also asked Zachary Cheng not to smoke, Ray Li took the opportunity to step on him, but Andrew Wang really cared about him.

He turned his head to look at Ray Li , looking at the squad leader who was wielding his hoe persistently and only thinking about poaching people all day long and successfully ascending to the position. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"Do you know a saying: A warm man ranks behind a dog."

What's your level? Why don't you poach me?

In order of status, the ranking of warm men is lower than that of licking dogs.

Even if you really don't reconcile with Lina Li this time, it won't be your turn to be a hot sheep.

However, there seems to be no such awareness these days, and being a warm man seems to be a complimentary term.

Although Ray Li didn't fully understand the meaning of Zachary Cheng's words, anyone who wasn't stupid knew that he was swearing.

"Zachary Cheng, you he...you..."

In front of Li Lina, he could hold back even a "fuck you" and maintain his so-called gentlemanly demeanor and warm-hearted image.

In the end, he just said in a slightly loud voice: "What do you mean!?"

"What do you mean? Why ask?" Zachary Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He grinned and said, "I usually don't say embarrassing things, but if I did..."

After Zachary Cheng paused for a moment, his smile became even brighter: "That's because I really want to embarrass you."
