Ye Qiu didn't know who she was or where she came from. For hundreds of years, she had been accompanied by a system named 001, unceasingly completing various tasks. Vaguely, she knew that only by accumulating a certain amount of Merit could she learn everything.
In fact, the past wasn't that important for her. Possessing infinite lifespan and experiencing various styles of life was a good option for most people.
001 didn't have intelligence, it merely mechanically assigned tasks. Opening her personal panel, Ye Qiu examined her own achievements.
Merit Points: 15000
Skills exchanged: Luck bonus 10 times, 8 remaining
Level 5 Body Forging Technique
Level 2 Chef God's Light
Hacker God
These skills, some randomly drawn by the system's lottery, others bought with Merit Points, were not many but were enough to allow her to thrive in some worlds.
After reviewing her personal achievements, Ye Qiu smiled satisfactorily, clicked on the task bar, and a new world had already been generated.
The client is also named Ye Qiu, who grew up in a poor family that favored males over females. He was the eldest, with a younger brother and sister beneath him. Granny Ye was a widow, and it was certainly not easy for her to raise three children alone during those tough times, so Ye Qiu always obeyed her, and his tragedy largely stemmed from this.
In the early 1980s, just when Ye Qiu could sustain himself, he engaged in speculative trading and thus made a fortune, becoming the first person in the village to earn ten thousand yuan. Later, he set up a factory along the coast in his hometown, responding to national policies, engaged in foreign trade, and his business grew larger and larger. He was riding on the crest of success, his only regret being that he only had a daughter and no son to inherit his fortune.
Because of this, Granny Ye, who had been quite fond of him, gradually became dissatisfied and favored the second son, Ye Xiu, just because Ye Xiu's wife gave birth to the Ye Family's only grandson, Ye Yu.
Thus, under the nagging of Granny Ye, Ye Qiu gradually became displeased with his wife, Chen Wen, and his daughter, Ye Manman, treating his nephew Ye Yu as if he were his own son.
Under the abnormal family dynamics, the conflict between husband and wife escalated, leading to a divorce, and even more so, under the instigation of Granny Ye and the second brother's family, to prevent outsiders from taking away their wealth, they threatened Chen Wen to relinquish her property or else the Ye Family would not give up the custody of Ye Manman.
Helplessly, Chen Wen left with nothing but her daughter and fled far away.
Ye Qiu wasn't very interested in women, otherwise, he wouldn't have had only one daughter, Ye Manman, instead of finding several lovers to bear sons. After the divorce, apart from expanding his business, he gradually trained his nephew Ye Yu as his successor.
However, in his old age, he gradually missed his only daughter, thinking of giving her part of his property, but his intentions became known to his brother's family, who gradually harbored sinister intentions.
Before he could amend his will, the second brother's family couldn't wait to push Ye Yu to the CEO position, and he, under their meticulous plan, got into a car accident and became a vegetative state.
On his deathbed, it was only his neglected daughter who came to see him for the last time and handled the aftermath.
Given another chance, Ye Qiu hoped to treat his wife and daughter well, and let his parasitic brothers face their retribution.
Merit Points contributed: 2000
Most of these Merit Points were earned by building bridges and roads in his hometown after he had made his fortune in his previous life. Reflecting on his life, he realized he had been good to everyone except those he was closest to.
The new world wasn't too difficult, and the Merit Points required weren't too much either. Upon reincarnation, Ye Qiu became him.
In the noisy train carriage, bustling with people, even in the dead of winter, the smell wasn't pleasant. Ye Qiu stood on the aisle, next to the goods he had smuggled from Shenzhen, a box of watches and fashionable clothing.
This was his second time smuggling, and also the crucial year when he began to amass his fortune. With this box of watches, he sold them for a high price in the provincial capital and made some connections that laid the foundation for his later business.
After getting off the train, Ye Qiu sold the watches following the traces of his past life, but didn't go straight home. Instead, he spent half of his savings to buy a single-family small building with a yard in the provincial capital.
This neighborhood housed the best primary and secondary schools in the provincial capital, and gradually developed markets and parks. Though not in the city center, it was a rare bustling and convenient residential area.
The Ye Family's old home was a five-hour bus ride from the provincial capital, involving a change of buses. When he returned, aside from his own few clothes and a pack of candies, Ye Qiu brought nothing else.
