Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

Xue Shanshan gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

The cheers from her colleagues around her made her eardrums hurt, but only one thought kept running through her mind—Li Yichen was the boss, the big boss of this company.

"Shanshan, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhao nudged her. "You look terrible."

"It's nothing," Xue Shanshan forced a smile, but her eyes were red. "I was just too excited."

She bit her lip, desperately trying to hold back her tears. Images played automatically in her mind: him driving her home in his million-dollar luxury car, then turning around and squatting with her at a roadside stall eating ten-yuan beef noodles. Every time he appeared, he had that nonchalant air about him, then vanished without a trace.

It turns out it wasn't mysterious, but rather a huge difference in status.

On stage, Li Yichen's voice resonated throughout the entire stadium through the speakers.

"It's a pleasure to be here with everyone." Standing under the spotlight, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding confidence, he said, "The future of technology is what it is today thanks to the hard work of each and every one of you here."

"Mr. Li!"

"General Manager Li is awesome!"

The audience roared with applause, which rose and fell in waves.

Xue Shanshan mechanically clapped along, her gaze fixed on the person on the stage with a complex expression. He stood so tall, the lights shining on him, making him seem to glow. And she was just an ordinary person among the more than 50,000 people in the audience.

"I assure you all—" Li Yichen's voice was steady and powerful, "As long as you work hard, Future Technology will never let you down. Benefits and compensation will only get better and better; this is my promise, Li Yichen!"

The crowd erupted in wild cheers once again.

"Holy crap, Mr. Li is so handsome!"

"I want to have Mr. Li's babies!"

"Mr. Li, I love you!"

The screams grew louder and louder, and some employees were so excited that their eyes turned red, and they frantically took pictures with their phones.

As Xue Shanshan looked at Li Yichen, who was beaming on stage, the rumors circulating online suddenly popped into her mind—that the boss of Future Tech had many women around him, changing them faster than flipping through a book.

Her chest tightened, and she had some difficulty breathing.

Am I just one of them? She took a deep breath and told herself not to think about it anymore. She should finish the annual meeting first and deal with other things later.

"Now—" Li Yichen changed the subject, a smile playing on his lips, "I hereby declare the Future Technology Group's annual meeting lucky draw officially open!"

Instantly, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

More than 50,000 people simultaneously pulled out their phones and opened the pre-downloaded lottery app. Xue Shanshan's colleagues' eyes lit up.

I want to win the grand prize!

"Please, please, give me the first prize!"

"I want a house, I want a car!"

The lottery interface began scrolling on the large screen, its colorful special effects dazzling the eye. Ji Yanran, in her high heels, returned to the stage, her smile almost blindingly bright.

"Please enter the mini-program, the lucky draw is now starting!" Her voice was clear and crisp. "Remember, everyone has two chances, good luck!"

"Go go go!"

"I'm blessed with incredible luck!"

The atmosphere in the venue instantly reached a fever pitch.

Xue Shanshan absentmindedly opened the mini-program and tapped the screen with her finger. Her mind was completely occupied with Li Yichen; she had no interest in winning any prizes.

"Ding!"

"Ding ding ding!"

The announcements of winning prizes were constant, making the whole venue sound like firecrackers going off during Chinese New Year.

"Holy crap, I won! 50,000 yuan!"

"Hahaha, I won 10,000!"

"One hundred thousand! I won one hundred thousand!"

Cheers, screams, and cries mingled together, and some people jumped up in excitement. Xiao Wang, who was next to Xue Shanshan, won 50,000 yuan and went crazy, jumping and bouncing around the person next to him.

"Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand! I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Xue Shanshan forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly. She stared at her phone screen, intending to just glance at it and move on.

Sudden--

The phone screen exploded with a dazzling golden effect, and the entire screen was flashing.

A line of large text popped up: Congratulations on winning the first prize—a small apartment in the city center (worth 200 million yuan).

Xue Shanshan was stunned.

"Aaaaaaah!" Xiao Zhao was the first to see it, her scream piercing the ceiling. "Shanshan! You've been hit by a house trap!"

"What?!"

"Holy crap, is this for real?"

"Let me see! Let me see!"

The surrounding colleagues instantly erupted, all crowding around, craning their necks. When they saw the words on the screen, they collectively went wild.

"My God, a two-million-dollar house!"

"Shanshan, your luck is incredible!"

"Wow, what incredible luck!"

Xue Shanshan's colleagues surrounded her, hugging and congratulating her, practically wanting to lift her up and spin her around. Caught in the middle, Xue Shanshan suddenly burst into tears.

"Shanshan, why are you crying?" Xiao Zhao smiled and wiped away her tears. "Are you overjoyed?"

"Yes, I'm so excited," Xue Shanshan said, her voice choked with emotion. "Thank you, thank you everyone."

But only she knew that those tears were bitter.

Should she accept this house?

Could this be considered his charity?

No, it shouldn't count. Xue Shanshan frantically tried to convince herself. This was a prize from the company's annual party raffle; even if she didn't win, someone else would. Yes, this doesn't count as charity.

On stage, Ji Yanran's voice rang out again.

"Congratulations to my colleagues who have already won!" She smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Don't be discouraged if you haven't won the grand prize yet, you have a second chance! The big prize is yet to come!"

"The second time!"

"Go go go!"

The crowd stirred again.

Xue Shanshan took a deep breath, her fingers trembling as she clicked the lottery button again. Well, it's already like this, might as well try. She closed her eyes, hoping she wouldn't win again.

"bite--"

The phone screen effects are amazing again.

A message popped up: Congratulations on winning the second prize—a Dawei Wenjie luxury electric car (worth 50 yuan).

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

Then--

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"A double yolk! Shanshan, you're a double yolk!"

This time, it wasn't just the people around Xue Shanshan who were in an uproar; people from several neighboring areas were also stunned. Everyone was looking this way, their eyes filled with disbelief and envy.

"You won again! You won again!" Xiao Zhao grabbed her arm and shook it vigorously. "Shanshan, your luck is incredible!"

"A house and a car, 2.5 million!"

"My God, what incredible luck!"

"Shanshan, have you ever consulted any master?"

Xue Shanshan was at a loss for words. She smiled mechanically, her lips twitching stiffly.

The surrounding sounds faded into the distance, and only one thought swirled in her mind—was this a coincidence? Or had he sabotaged things behind the scenes?

If it was arranged by him, then what does she mean to him?

In the front row of the venue, Li Niannian sat with Miaomiao in the VIP section. Miaomiao stared wide-eyed at the frenzied crowd around them, her little face full of curiosity.

"Sister, they're so happy!" Miao Miao whispered. "I want to enter the raffle too."

"No, you can't." Li Niannian patted her head. "Brother Li said that non-company employees can't participate."

"Oh." Miao Miao was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again, "Will there be anything good to eat later?"

"Yes!" Li Niannian smiled, "There will be lots of delicious food later!"

"yeah!"

The lottery draw ended half an hour later.

The big screen began announcing the major prizes. When the words "Grand Prize - A Ten Million Dollar Villa" appeared, the entire audience held their breath.

"The award winner is Zheng Hong, an engineer at Future Aerospace Group!"

"Aaaaaah!" A middle-aged man jumped up from his seat, trembling all over. "It's me! It's me!"

There was thunderous applause.

Xue Shanshan looked at Li Yichen on the stage, her eyes filled with struggle.

She knew that she would have to make a choice after the annual meeting.
