The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 4 [The Golden Tower of Wealth], Level 1 unlocked!

Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.

Gu Heng left the front door of his house open and leaned back on the sofa.

His face was pale, his lips were cracked, and he looked listless. There was no color in his face at all.

Today marks the 30th day of the weight loss plan, and there is less than an hour left until the end of the first challenge given by Brother Tongzi.

On this last day, Gu Heng was almost on a hunger strike.

A cup of 200g black coffee in the morning helps with urination and sodium excretion.

I drink a 100g cup of fat-free yogurt at noon to maintain my gut microbiota.

Drink a 100ml glass of distilled water containing B vitamins at night to prevent metabolic shock.

"It's finally coming to an end..."

Gu Heng watched quietly as the countdown on the screen in front of him ticked away second by second.

until—

Finally, it resets to zero!
With a crisp sound, the light screen that was originally floating in front of Gu Heng changed instantly.

[Challenge: Lose 26 pounds in 30 days]

[Completion Status: 100%]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully unlocked the first level of the "Golden Tower of Wealth"]

Gu Heng, who was originally listless and dizzy, seemed to have a sudden burst of energy after seeing the hint given by Brother Tongzi, and instantly became energetic.

At the same time, his heart began to beat faster and faster.

Gu Heng stared intently at the light screen in front of him. After about several tens of seconds, the light screen that had been floating in front of him gradually dissipated, and then the golden tower phantom slowly solidified.

The next second, the light screen reappeared in front of Gu Heng.

[Congratulations, host! You have received a cash reward of 100,000,000 RMB.]

[Congratulations, host! You have received the following rewards: Top-tier VIP comprehensive exclusive legal services from Juncheng Law Firm (two-year term), and exclusive funds of 50,000,000 RMB.]

[Congratulations, host! You have received an asset reward: Zhencui Group (fully acquired)]

Just as the light screen unfolded in front of Gu Heng, the screen of Gu Heng's phone, which had been placed on the coffee table, suddenly lit up.

"Ding--"

"Your account 1769 received RMB 100,000,000.00 on August 16th, leaving a balance of RMB 100,006,849.69 [China Merchants Bank]"

Gu Heng stared at the long string of numbers in the bank's text message notification. He slowly extended his trembling right hand, picked up his phone, and opened the China Merchants Bank app.

Account Overview —

Total assets: 100,006,849.69
Gu Heng stared at his phone screen, looking at it several times before finally confirming that it wasn't all a hallucination.

His heart pounded like a drum, and his face gradually flushed red.

Before he knew it, his eyes were already filled with tears.

Abandoned by parents, ridiculed by classmates, looked down upon by others...

Three whole years of suffering vanished in this moment.

Now, the bitterness has turned into sweetness.

Gu Heng raised his hand to wipe away his tears. After a brief moment of lucidity, he could feel his body rapidly weakening again.

"Hey?"

"120?"

As planned, Gu Heng dialed 120 without hesitation: "This is Unit 2, Building 6, Auto Repair Community, Luyuan District. I urgently need emergency medical assistance."

At the same time, he immediately poured half a bottle of high-concentration honey water into his mouth.

Before the mission was completed: I took life and death lightly; my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!

After completing the mission: I am of noble birth, how can I be treated lightly!
Ok……

Your perspective is determined by your position; sometimes, your thoughts can change that quickly.

Gu Heng used to think that rich people who went to the hospital for every little thing were pretentious, but now he realized that after he became rich, he was even more pretentious than those people.

After dialing 120, Gu Heng slowly lowered his right hand holding the phone, feeling his eyelids begin to feel heavy.

"Don't sleep until the ambulance arrives..."

Gu Heng forced himself to stay awake, and to avoid falling asleep, he turned his gaze back to the light screen floating in front of him.

Only then did he notice a faint "+" suffix following the last two rewards. Gu Heng gently touched the "+" with his mind, and the originally extremely concise rewards instantly became much more detailed.

[Benefits and Rewards: Top-tier VIP comprehensive exclusive legal services from Juncheng Law Firm (two-year term), with exclusive funding of RMB 50,000,000]

[Current Progress: In Progress (0.1%)]

Juncheng Law Firm: A leading law firm in the domestic litigation field and a benchmark in capital market and cross-border transaction legal services. It has 12 offices and 700+ lawyers in China. Its headquarters are located in Beijing and it has multiple professional teams.

[Note: The dedicated funds will be transferred to your dedicated account once the project progresses to 100%. At that time, Juncheng Law Firm will contact you to formally sign the contract.]

Gu Heng carefully read through the documents in front of him, and couldn't help but admire how thorough his brother Tongzi was in handling things.

To be honest, when Gu Heng saw a staggering 1 million yuan deposited into his account, after the initial excitement, he felt a little uneasy.

It's like a child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace.

However, after reading the benefits and rewards, Gu Heng felt much more at ease.

Juncheng Law Firm—he had seen the headquarters of this law firm before when he was delivering food. It was a 10-story building with its own entrance, and it looked extremely impressive.

Those coming and going were all dressed in suits.

In the future, having such a top-tier law firm to protect him will undoubtedly greatly enhance Gu Heng's ability to withstand risks.

After reading the equity-based reward document in detail, Gu Heng then clicked on the "+" next to the asset-based reward document.

[Asset Incentive: Zhencui Group (wholly acquired)]

[Current Status: Transaction in progress (0.01%)]

【臻萃集团：立足于北春本土的顶级餐饮集团，旗下拥有1家Omakase（鮨雲）、2家海鲜自助餐厅（潮御）、2家牛排扒房（原炙）、1家海鲜餐厅（臻海）、1家高空餐酒吧（云樽）、1家融合餐厅（宴融荟），全资收购金额约为1.2亿元。】

[Note: The acquisition negotiations have been initiated. Once the current progress indicates that the transaction will be completed, please engage Juncheng Law Firm to conduct the takeover at Zhencui Group.]

Gu Heng, who had been barely able to keep his eyelids open, seemed to experience a brief resurgence of energy after carefully reading the detailed description of the asset reward.

Gu Heng had never heard of Zhencui Group.

But if you mention restaurant names like Sushi Omakase, Chao Yu Seafood Buffet Restaurant, and Yun Zun Sky Bar, Gu Heng is very familiar with them.

In fact, it's not just Gu Heng who's familiar with these restaurants; anyone living in Beichun would probably be familiar with them.

These restaurants are practically the pinnacle of the North Chung restaurant industry, and even the entire Kyrgyz province's restaurant industry.

Take Sushi Omakase, which has only been open for two months, for example. The cheapest lunch set meal costs 1588, and the dinner set meal starts at 1988.

Gu Heng used to think that Beichun had a low level of spending power, but after Sushi Omakase opened, Gu Heng realized that there were actually so many rich people in Beichun.

At this price point, Sushi Kumo Omakase is not only always fully booked, but it's also extremely difficult to get a table; you need to make a reservation a week in advance to dine there.

In the period immediately after its opening, Douyin's local section was filled with photos and videos of beautiful girls visiting the place, including some internet celebrities.

As for brands like Chao Yu, Yuan Zhi, and Yun Zun, they are all top-tier restaurants in their respective catering sectors.

Looking across the entire Beichun area, high-end business banquets almost invariably involve either Yanronghui or Zhenhai, two major brands.

In the past, when Gu Heng passed by these restaurants, he only dared to peek through the glass.

Before long, these restaurants were about to become his assets.

Such a transformation made it hard for Gu Heng not to feel as if he were in a dream.

"call……"

After several emotional ups and downs, Gu Heng felt his breathing becoming rapid. He was already feeling very dizzy, and now he was also experiencing a slight nausea.

"Ta Tata..."

Just as Gu Heng's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar. When he saw several figures in white coats appear, his mind relaxed slightly, and he immediately fainted.

"The patient has fainted. Immediately check the patient's breathing and heartbeat!"

……

"Examination complete. The patient's breathing and heartbeat are normal!"

……

"Prepare for intravenous fluid replacement: 0.9% normal saline mixed with 5% glucose injection!"

……

In a hazy state, numerous urgent voices rang in Gu Heng's ears...
