Chapter 2, Glory and Life
Huang Mao, unable to bear the pain any longer, pleaded: "Brother Huanzi... please... spare me, I really didn't touch your sister... I swear on my whole family... I will never dare to provoke her again, alright... oh no... my arm is about to break..."
Liu Yunshi took off her flip-flops and threw them at Zhang Hehuan, but he swatted them away with a single slap
A message has arrived, Zhang Hehuan's reputation value has increased by 500. It is unexpected that fighting can increase reputation value faster than signing contracts. It seems that in the future, I should stretch my muscles and bones more often, whether there is something to do or not
Oh dear ... Zhang Hehuan ... you are really asking for trouble ... oh dear ...
Mother, why does she belittle me when she can just speak for herself
Zhang Hehuan picked up the steel pipe from the ground, poised to strike down, while Huang Mao, terrified, covered his head and cried out in distress
The blonde-haired individual got up from the ground, approached the motorcycle, and rushed towards Zhang Hehuan with a steel pipe in hand
County newspaper, going to work in the county, are you not afraid that people will say you are from the county
What does it mean? Am I not going to live for more than three years? Is this a prank? The thought that my life has already been reset made me feel that three years of life should not be a lie, and he suddenly became a bit anxious, pressing 1
Young Master Zhang looked at the onlookers with a proud expression
Father Zhang Jiacheng is not dead, but he divorced my mother five years ago. Their divorce was due to Zhang Jiacheng's infidelity during the marriage, which aligns with my father's character. In the past, he was indeed a notorious playboy.
Zhang Hehuan slapped him hard and shouted: "Find your mother! You bastard, if you dare to touch my sister, I will take care of your whole family"
Zhang Hehuan was overjoyed and, without hesitation, immediately proposed to treat Xu Changgen to a meal, intending to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the contract that evening. Based on his past experience with signing contracts, he knew that ninety percent of business deals were concluded at the dining table. As expected, that night at the table, after Xu Changgen had enjoyed a few drinks and reviewed his materials, he signed the labor contract right there.
Zhang Hehuan first pressed 3, needing assistance, and first needed to clarify what the situation was.
He lowered his head to look at the information
Zhang Hehuan looked at her silent sister and said, "Xiaoyue, please share your thoughts."
Zhang Hehuan had no choice but to lie in bed and wait patiently
His so-called Pengcheng Normal University of Media is merely an ordinary third-tier institution, classified as a privately funded public welfare entity, and is not even within their consideration scope
Upon arriving at the entrance of his alley, he saw a couple entangled in the shadows. Initially, he paid no attention, but the motorcycle nearby triggered a thought in his mind. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the woman was his sister, Zhang Heyue. Zhang Hehuan was instantly enraged: "What are you two doing?"
Cardholders can exchange their reputation points for various goods and items in the Centurion APP marketplace
Zhang Hehuan leaned in and pointed at Huang Mao's nose: "What have you just done?"
Zhang Hehuan is completely speechless; how deep must the hatred be
Ding
Zhang Hehuan finally released Huang Mao
Liu Yunshi nodded: "Call your sister over for a meal together tomorrow"
You bastard! The yellow-haired one rushed up, wanting to fight Zhang Hehuan to the death
When do you go to work
Dear Mr. Zhang Hehuan, you have just spent 8,500 yuan, deducting 17,000 reputation points. Your current account reputation balance is 19,999. You have three years of life remaining, note: 1,095 days. If you wish to exchange for life points, please press 1
Zhang Hehuan had anticipated the counterattack from the yellow-haired man. She turned and executed a spinning kick, sending the yellow-haired man flying. He crashed into a motorcycle and fell to the ground in a disheveled manner
Mobile prompt: Exchange 10,000 reputation points for one day of life value, press 1 to select, press 0 to return to the previous menu, press 3 to request help
It is better than idly sitting at home and waiting for death
After Zhang Heyue returned home, she surprisingly did not dare to cause a scene. As she was preparing to go back to her room in tears, Zhang Hehuan called out to her: "Xiaoyue, stay. I have something to discuss with you."
Zhang Hehuan realized that all the boasts he made at the wealth ranking award ceremony had come true, having exchanged his life for the safety of his entire family with the wealth of being the richest in Asia, and now he was left with a pitiful three years of life.
Lin Ran emerged from the bathroom, having put on her bathrobe again, her charming face displaying an unmistakable sense of relief. She went to the payment area to pick up some sanitary pads, then returned inside. It turned out that the pregnancy was a misunderstanding; it was merely a delay of a few days, and at the critical moment, it unexpectedly arrived, allowing her to narrowly escape a calamity
Upon reconsideration, it is not without the possibility of living to a hundred years, as long as he can accumulate enough reputation points, he will be able to exchange them for sufficient life points, thus enabling himself to live a long life, or even achieve immortality; it is both an opportunity and a challenge
Do not mention that despicable creature who is worse than a pig or a dog
Lin Ran has put an end to a lingering concern and quickly regained her composure. She informed Zhang Hehuan that today would be their last meeting. She also noticed his somewhat downcast mood, attributing it to her decision to break up. She had invested in this relationship, but youthful impulsiveness ultimately succumbs to reality. Having graduated from Communication University, she has already been employed by the Pingjiang Provincial Television Station, while Zhang Hehuan's failure in the postgraduate entrance examination leaves no possibility for a future together. For the sake of her future, she must completely sever ties with him. Let everything come to an end starting today.
Zhang Hehuan has inherited this trait from his father. Although he was thirty-six years old and still unmarried, it did not prevent him from having numerous romantic encounters, as he could be described as someone who passed through a sea of flowers without a single petal touching him
Zhang Hehuan gazed meaningfully at the weeping Zhang Heyue and said: "See clearly, the tough guy in your heart is actually a fool"
Is it retribution? After my life reset, I was immediately dumped by my girlfriend. She despised me for not being ambitious and for my poor family background. Is Lin Ran blind? I am at least one of the richest people in Asia. Setting aside wealth, am I not good-looking? Am I not good at doing push-ups?
Ding!
The two were startled. Although Zhang Heyue looked down on this brother, she was still somewhat guilty, so she hurriedly pushed away the yellow-haired person who was pulling her into his embrace and walked away.
A few years ago, he pursued me, and I scolded him, saying that a toad wants to eat swan meat. He is so formidable; I can't help but wonder if he might force himself on me in the future. Just thinking about it is truly frightening. I don't have much money, so I can only let him rob me of my virtue.
After wandering around the job fair, I came across a booth for a newspaper. This newspaper is a county-level publication, and the booth was quite small. The only promotional material on display was a roll-up banner that read "Songfeng Morning News is Hiring Talents." A middle-aged man, dressed rather plainly, was dozing off at the table. While other booths were bustling with activity, his was deserted, clearly indicating that this organization was not well-regarded.
Zhang Hehuan is a recent university graduate who entered the venue with a try-and-see attitude, focusing on units related to his major. Many media organizations in Pengcheng had booths, and as a student of the Broadcasting major at Pengcheng Normal University of Media, he should have had a certain professional advantage. However, when he approached them, they didn't even show any interest in him.
The blonde teased Zhang Hehuan with a grin, "Oh, isn't this Huanzi? What are you making such a fuss about? It's quite scary at night."
The middle-aged man is Xu Changgen, the head of the Personnel Department of Ge Feng Morning News. Ge Feng Morning News is a small county-level newspaper. In the past two years, the print media industry has been in decline, and the state has streamlined and abolished more than 300 county-level newspapers. Ge Feng Morning News has been fortunate to be retained, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive in the intensifying market competition, making the recruitment of talent a top priority for the newspaper.
Zhang Hehuan briefly introduced his situation to Xu Changgen, who was quite interested in him. Xu asked him to bring his personal materials, stating that if his introduction was accurate, they could sign a formal contract today
This fellow is so skilled at fighting, I need to be more cautious when speaking to him in the future
Liu Yun's eyes widened in surprise: "How dare you!" Before she could get angry, Zhang Hehuan respectfully picked up the flip-flop and handed it over: "Mom, your feet are truly beautiful, so fair and tender, not a hint of athlete's foot, even more attractive than the hands of a white pig."
At this moment, his phone received a message notification sound
Liu Yunsi said: "How can you still have the face to say that? Your brother is a cautionary tale for you. If you do not study diligently, in the future, you will be even worse off than he is"
Zhang Hehuan nodded slightly, and suddenly threw a punch at this fellow's face. The yellow-haired man did not expect him to dare to strike, and was knocked back unsteadily.

Next week
Liu Yunsi always felt that something was off with her son today, but she couldn't quite articulate it. It seemed like there was nothing wrong at all. As the only man in the family at present, he was supposed to be this way. A man should have a bit of spirit, and he must never be like that scoundrel of a father.
Zhang Heyue is his younger sister. Regardless of how this sister treats him, he cannot tolerate her willingly associating with such worthless individuals.
The equally unwelcomed Zhang Hehuan walked over, smiling as he looked at the middle-aged man: "Teacher, are you hiring here?"
Zhang Heyue touched the numb half of her face in a daze. At that moment, someone came over to help her up. When she looked up and saw her mother had returned, she immediately cried out, "Mom, Zhang Hehuan hit me..." Before she could finish her sentence, she received another slap on her face. Liu Yunsi looked at her coldly and said, "You deserve it"
... ...
Zhang Hehuan pointed at Zhang Heyue and said, "Hurry up and go home, this is none of your business. Remember, call me brother!"
Zhang Heyue came to a halt
Zhang Hehuan felt a bit depressed; what on earth is this reputation value? It takes 10,000 points of reputation value to exchange for one day of life value. Shouldn't consumption be deducted in money? Why use reputation value to offset it? Moreover, it can be redeemed immediately; this card is a bit strange
Passing by the talent market, I saw a large red banner at the entrance, and a job fair was being held inside
Zhang Hehuan shook his head and said, "What kind of establishment is there? Besides, I started as a trainee reporter, and it takes time to become a regular employee"
Zhang Heyue lowered his head, his face still feeling hot and likely swollen. His older brother was truly ruthless; thinking back to the scene where he had just beaten Huang Mao, he realized that he had actually shown some mercy to himself, suddenly feeling a sense of awe.
After returning to the previous menu, continue by pressing 1. First, use the reputation points to exchange for one day of life points. The mobile notification indicates that the exchange was successful, and there are still 1,096 days of life points remaining, with 9,999 reputation points left.
Zhang Hehuan kicked the yellow-haired boy in the abdomen, sending him flying with a single kick. He had never been lenient in fights, having received guidance from renowned masters and undergone professional training, and in the past, he could easily take on ten opponents at once
Zhang Hehuan noticed that Zhang Heyue still had some resistance towards him, which was normal after all, as she was at a rebellious age. He mentioned to her that he had signed a contract with Ge Fengchen Daily today.
The middle-aged man yawned and squinted his eyes to size him up: "Are you looking to apply for a job?"
Zhang Hehuan walked home with the contract in hand, slightly tipsy from the wine. At last, he had an explanation for his mother and no longer had to endure her scolding about being a useless person living off others. In truth, he felt little sense of belonging in this reborn family and was in urgent need of a change of environment.
Reputation value represents the external praise and recognition you receive, closely related to your visibility, public image, the magnitude of your achievements, and social status, which can be acquired through professional avenues
Zhang Hehuan nodded slightly; he had good physical attributes, standing at a height of 1.79 meters, with handsome features, distinct contours, and a bright, sunny smile.
My father
"Get lost!" Liu Yunsi, who had originally been wearing a stern expression, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Zhang Heyue also burst into laughter. When did my brother become so eloquent?
Liu Yunsi, after listening, did not show any particular reaction and softly asked, "Is there a formal position?" For adults, this is the most concerning issue; usually, in their eyes, apart from formal positions, other jobs are merely a form of play.
What era are we in? There are no longer city people or county people; the Earth is just one village, and we are all villagers.
After Lin Ran lightened her load and left, Zhang Hehuan dejectedly went to check out. He had probably figured out the relationship between the amount charged to the card and the reputation points, which happened to be at a ratio of one to two. This meant that for every one yuan he spent, two points of reputation would be consumed. At this moment, he had already lost over twenty thousand reputation points. If twenty thousand reputation points could be exchanged for two days of life, it meant that by renting a room, he had effectively shortened his life by two days. The cost-effectiveness was simply too low, and the key issue was that he had accomplished nothing!
Zhang Hehuan! Are you crazy! Let go! Let go!
However, under the conditions of their newspaper, it is very difficult to attract truly high-level talent; instead, those with some ability are leaving in droves. The newspaper is now facing a shortage of both new and experienced personnel, and its development has reached a critical stage where progress is extremely challenging. According to the president, it has reached a moment of life and death.
Reputation points + 33, Zhang Hehuan effortlessly earned a wave of reputation points in the hearts of the thirty-three onlookers
Indeed, it is quite difficult to find a respectable job in Pengcheng with those three diplomas of yours
Wow, what a tough guy! I used to bully him back in middle school, is he going to settle the score now?
Zhang Hehuan summarized that what Lin Ran needs is a long-term meal ticket, and his current meal ticket evidently does not possess this timeliness
Zhang Heyue rushed forward and unexpectedly grabbed Zhang Hehuan's arm, trying to pull him up. After several attempts without success, she reached out to grab his hair. The little girl surprisingly bent her elbow outward, and Zhang Hehuan retaliated with a hard slap. Zhang Heyue's frail body could not withstand such a blow, and she was slapped to the ground, seeing stars and completely dazed. In her impression, her brother was just a timid and useless person; what happened today?
I haven't done much, just communicating and bonding with your sister
Huang Mao never expected that the timid Zhang He Huan would strike so fiercely. Caught off guard, before he could get back up, Zhang He Huan rushed forward, twisting his arm and pressing his knee against his neck: "You blind dog, how dare you touch my sister? I will kill you."
