Chapter One: New Life

  Chen Shengping can be said to be a lucky but also unlucky person.

  Chen Shengping was not originally called this name, of course, he didn't know what his original name was. Because he was an orphan, so he didn't know his surname. Later, growing up in the orphanage, he followed the founder's surname Chen. As for why he was called Shengping? Because as he grew older and understood things, he only hoped to live a simple and peaceful life, so he abandoned his original name Chen Xiaoliu.

  Because he grew up in an orphanage, he knew more about the need to work hard and know more, so the sweat he paid was twice that of ordinary people, or even more. When he was still in elementary school in the orphanage, he always worked harder than others, so his grades were higher than others. While others were playing, he was still working hard to read books, which made some classmates jealous and gathered some classmates to isolate him. However, he didn't mind because he needed knowledge to arm himself, so he had no friends in elementary school.

  And after he entered junior high school at the age of 15, his grades were still excellent. Similarly, there will be people who are jealous, but the people in junior high school will not think like elementary school students, just isolating you. They would gang up to beat him, but he didn't care, only quietly wiping away tears from the corner of his eyes when no one was looking, because he knew that knowledge could change everything for him. Maybe it was heaven's compensation for being an orphan, when others were weak in certain subjects, he wouldn't be. He had a smart brain, and he studied both liberal arts and science with diligence, not only absorbing the curriculum but also going to the library every day to learn extracurricular knowledge. Although he couldn't buy a lot of materials like rich people in the city, his grades were still excellent. He thought that just the knowledge from the library was already too much to learn, let alone buying some extra things. Therefore, when he graduated from junior high school, he smoothly passed the entrance examination for a key high school.

  After he was admitted to a key high school, he left the orphanage because he felt that he could be self-sufficient and let the orphanage have more funds to sponsor those who needed it more. So during the two-month winter break, he found a part-time job as a waiter in a bar at night, so he lied about his age, because of his strong personality, he looked more mature, so he successfully worked in the bar for two months; and he acted as a tutor during the day, because he was excellent in all subjects, so he could help people with their homework every day, similarly, he read a lot of books, had many teaching methods, wouldn't let students memorize like those teachers, so those students were very satisfied with him as a tutor, so they studied hard and got good results, so when the parents of those students paid him, they also gave him more money. In this way, in two months' time, he earned enough tuition fees.

  When he went to high school, his grades were still excellent, and he didn't have any weaknesses in subjects. Although there was a division of liberal arts and science classes in the second year of high school, he chose the science class but continued to study hard in liberal arts. Of course, it was also possible for him to learn about liberal arts because his classmates lent him their books.

  When he went to high school, everyone had matured, so no one would bully him anymore. Because of his good grades, people often came to ask him questions, and as a result, he made friends with them. He learned about liberal arts through the books borrowed from those who went to liberal arts classes in their second year.

  So he continued to study very hard! Every weekend, he still taught at home, and parents of students who had achieved good results continued to look for him. His reputation spread, and more people came to find him. Therefore, he didn't lack money, and the three years of high school were spent in this way through his own efforts.

  He also saved enough money to go to college. Even if he didn't work part-time, the tuition fees were sufficient. However, he still continued to teach at home without stopping because these people allowed him to have enough money to finish high school and attend university. So he wanted to lead them and hoped they could develop well.

  Of course, he also got into a key university, the legendary Qing University.

  He chose to major in chemistry when he went to college, and his studies were very easy, but he didn't relax himself and continued to study hard. Of course, after entering university, he also made some good friends, especially those in the dormitory, and they often went on trips together, played games together, and so on. He had a life that was supposed to be there, and he learned what he was supposed to learn. During this time, he also met a girl because he often went to the library, and the two became acquainted, fell in love, and then it was all romance. The four years of college passed like this, with everything developing in the direction he had hoped for.

  After graduating from college and entering society, he naturally started looking for a job. He originally thought that with his excellence, it should be very easy. But he was wrong, and he was wrong to an extreme degree. Society is realistic, and at the same time, it is cruel. Although he was excellent, he had no background, so he could only work in a medium-sized company as a small clerk. Originally, according to his thinking, such a life was just what he needed, plain and safe, wasn't it?

  But the cruel reality struck him again, he not only looked handsome and elegant, but also excellent. So yesterday, the head of the personnel department of their company, a extremely ** woman, called him into the office, saying she wanted to keep him. Of course, as a young man with four virtues, he firmly refused. The storm came on the second day, early in the morning when he arrived at the company, a resignation letter was placed on his desk. Of course, he would not yield because of this, he took his things and left without looking back, waving his sleeves elegantly.

  But the storm was not over yet, on his way home, his girlfriend's call came. The worst thing happened, his girlfriend said that with his current salary, it would be impossible for them to live a happy life together in the future, and her parents would not agree either. If he couldn't find a better job, they could only break up. He listened silently and hung up the phone, then slowly returned home, cooked himself a meal, put on the suit he rarely wore, and came to the seaside. Closing his eyes, he resolutely jumped into the sea, he didn't want to be polluted by this dirty and ignorant world after his death, so he chose to jump into the sea, he wanted to sink deep down. At the same time, he prayed that there would be an afterlife, and he could have a good background to live a peaceful life.

  Consciousness gradually became blurred, feeling very strange, he thought: Is this what death feels like?

  After an unknown period of time, his consciousness recovered. Why was the sky spinning and what felt like sinking into a swamp? Was he dead? Where was this place? The feeling of being stuck in the mud finally disappeared, and he slowly opened his eyes.

  "Old man! This is our first child, you give the child a name", a soft voice of a woman came over.

  "Haha, since that's the case, I think my son's name is Jian Cheng, Li Jian Cheng, haha..." Another loud and clear voice.
