Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"You lead the eldest, and I'll lead the youngest."

He Meitian brought her two children with her to Shanghai with Zhang San. Today, the family went out for a trip. Since having two sons, He Meitian, who used to have some resistance, no longer has any and has accepted her fate.

And on TV, the most beautiful junior sister is no longer there; only a mother of two children remains.

"Let the maid take them. Wouldn't it be too tiring for us to carry them? We're going on a romantic getaway for two, not a family trip."

He Meitian, who has given birth to two children, is even more amazing than before. Her bust has grown explosively, which he adores. He brought them to Shanghai for a vacation.

"Hmph, the child is still young, why bother with some time alone? Studying is the most important thing."

Zhang San said, "What's there to be afraid of? The child is a foreign citizen. He can easily take the exams overseas and then study in mainland China at a top university."

"We want our children to become successful, not just to get a diploma."

"Yes, yes, yes... My wife is right..." Why not take the shortcut instead of pushing your child too hard?

Upon hearing this, the eldest son immediately said to his father, "I want to be a scientist, I want to build a modern society..."

"Good boy, let Daddy hug you."

Zhang San was thinking to himself, "Kid, if you want to be a scientist, you'll probably squander the family fortune. Your father isn't very smart; he only got into a second-tier university in Beijing. Your mother, well, she's probably better than your father, but looking at your grades, forget it. It's better for you to study abroad in North America first."

"Da Bao, tell me, do you want to go to university in mainland China or in North America? The schools there are really competitive."

Zhang Jiaren said, "I'm going to university in mainland China; all my friends are here."

The eldest son's name was chosen by Zhang San. Because he was an orphan, he chose his name very casually. Naturally, he took his son's name more seriously.

Zhang San said, "Well, Jiaren, if you want to become a scientist, you need to go to a good university. Without a good university, you won't have famous teachers to guide you and you won't be able to access the forefront of science and technology."

"You know the best universities are only in the top 100 in the province. If Dad gets you into one, do you want to go?"

"I'm going!" Zhang Jiaren immediately raised his hand and answered loudly, which made Zhang San laugh. That's more like it. If the father cheats, the son should cheat too. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the foundation that his father worked so hard to build?

Seeing his eldest son's ambition, Zhang San patted his head and said, "Good, you're truly my son! We'll go to the best university then. You must study hard and not let your father down!"

At this moment, He Meitian rolled her eyes at Zhang San and said reproachfully, "You just spoil the child! We need to cultivate the child's independence more, we can't always rely on you to take shortcuts."

Zhang Jiaren quickly tugged at his mother's clothes and said sweetly, "Mom, I will study hard! But with Dad's help, I can achieve my dream even faster."

Watching the interaction between the mother and son, Zhang San burst into laughter, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, my son is just as quick-witted as I am."

He Meitian rolled her eyes. This man was hopeless. He only wanted to take shortcuts and solve everything with money. What could she do? She knew what her son was like. Since her son wanted to be a scientist, then... she would just use money to help him achieve his goal.

She thought to herself, "My second son, Zhang Jiaxiao, shouldn't be like this. He should study hard." She turned to look at Zhang Jiaxiao, who had a simple and honest face. When he saw his mother looking at him, he immediately gave her a silly smile. His expression was indescribable... Oh well, as long as he gets married and has children, he can just live a carefree life.

Zhang San looked at He Meitian with a grin, as if to say, "What do you think? You still prefer the shortcut, right?"

Regardless of the original body or the previous life of Zhang San, how much suffering did he endure?

As an orphan, Zhang San remembers his past very clearly. If it weren't for an unknown educated youth, he would never have left the village.

That year, he was in elementary school. Many people came to the school, including that educated youth. He was going back to the city, so he helped the school with the last repairs. Zhang San helped them like a little adult. He was an orphan, and all the other students had gone home. Where could he go?

I can earn a living by working here.

"Zhang San, your name is quite interesting. Who gave you that name?" The man asked curiously when he saw the boy who had helped him while he was eating.

"I don't know who started this name. I don't have parents, and that's what they all call me, so I just call myself Zhang San."

He said, "What a pitiful child. You must study hard. Only by studying hard can you have a good life and leave the village."

Zhang San didn't quite understand at the time, but he still remembered the man's sympathetic look. He heard from his teacher that before he left, he asked the teacher to take good care of him and left him twenty kilograms of coarse grains.

Despite the challenging environment, he persevered and studied hard, eventually passing all the required exams. Although he worked very hard, he was fortunate enough to get into a relatively unknown university at the time due to a lack of talent.

Even more fortunately, no one impersonated him, which allowed him to successfully leave the village. He originally wanted to give back to the village, but then he was gone.

In this life, he also sent people to that mountain village, but for some reason, that mountain village is gone.

Sometimes, he wondered, was it Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi? Had he truly traveled through time, or was his past life just a dream? Or was he dreaming of traveling to another parallel world, or was he dreaming of another version of himself from another world?

Fortunately, he didn't have a system. If he did, he would definitely not be in the real world, or after his death, with the advancement of technology, he would be in a virtual world.

If I were actually in that kind of society, then really... what's the point of striving? I might as well just lie down and wait to die, since it's all just a bunch of data anyway, or the data will have already been formatted.

His thinking is quite normal. When everything he has worked hard for and enjoyed is just a bunch of data, and his privacy is exposed to those outside the machine, isn't that worse than death?

Social death can happen in an instant, just like in "The Truman Show," where everything you have becomes someone else's entertainment. So... as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.

The recollection of past hardships that flashed through Zhang San's mind was just normal; many big shots, after achieving success, probably talk most about the hard times of the past. When others mention it, they highlight how hard-won their achievements are, making people feel that they have made great accomplishments.

Zhang San is no exception; as long as this isn't a data-driven world, he feels that all the hard work and scheming are worthwhile.
