I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: I also have a small goal, to make another 1 billion tomorrow!

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sun Kai, do you know him?”

A curious salesperson standing next to the male sales clerk asked.

“Yeah, we’re from the same hometown, the same neighborhood.”

Sun Kai explained.

“He’s quite handsome, but it seems like he’s not doing well?” another salesperson commented.

At that moment, Chu Chen was holding a black plastic bag, dressed casually.

Carrying a big bag of money and having collected rent from twenty or thirty places, Chu Chen looked a bit disheveled.

“Yeah, wouldn’t have thought, fortune’s really turned.”

Sun Kai said, gloating.

“Back then, all the girls in the neighborhood were head over heels for this guy, and even as I grew up, he had countless girls chasing after him, while I’ve been single for twenty years. I used to be insanely jealous.”

Sun Kai reminisced about the past.

“Seems like karma is fair. Now, I’m doing quite well, but he’s in dire straits.”

Sun Kai was quite talented in sales. Within six months at the store, his sales figures had skyrocketed. With his base salary plus sales commissions, he could take home seven or eight hundred dollars daily.

Moreover, the headquarters took notice of his capabilities, and it wouldn’t be long before he became the manager of one of their other branches, with a monthly salary reaching 30,000!

In a year, that’s 360,000, which is already higher than the income of some white-collar workers.

By then, he could buy a Mercedes and marry a beautiful woman, rising to the pinnacle of life.

“Carrying a black plastic bag, like a beggar?”

Sun Kai shook his head as he looked at Chu Chen.

He used to look up to Chu Chen from the ground, but now he wanted to trample Chu Chen into the ground, making Chu Chen look up to him.

“Watch me go mock him.”

Saying this to his companion, Sun Kai walked over.

“Chu Chen, long time no see.”

Chu Chen turned around and was momentarily stunned upon seeing Sun Kai.

“You are…”

Chu Chen couldn’t quite remember.

“Sun Kai, from the same neighborhood.”

Sun Kai reminded him. He used to be so unremarkable, but now it was different.

“Oh, I remember now, really sorry.”

Chu Chen said apologetically.

“What have you been up to lately?”

Sun Kai asked enthusiastically.

“Not much, I haven’t graduated yet. It’s a crappy college, and I might not find a good job after graduation.”

Chu Chen stated honestly.

Before he got the system, apart from being handsome, he was indeed good for nothing, his studies were average, and the college he got into was also average.

“Oh, I see.”

A hint of triumph showed on Sun Kai’s face.

“You might want to consider that soon I’ll be a store manager. You can come work for me after graduation. I won’t shortchange your salary.”

“Starting at five thousand a month, not bad for a college graduate.”

Sun Kai said generously.

“Thanks.”

Chu Chen replied.

“Keep working hard, I’ve slogged for years to get to where I am. I haven’t even reached today’s small goal yet.”

Sun Kai pretended to be modest.

“Goal?”

“Yeah, to earn 3,000 dollars today.”

That was the small goal he set for himself yesterday.

Three thousand a day, that’s 90,000 a month; it’s an unattainable goal for most people, not just college students.

Hearing this, Chu Chen was momentarily stunned, a glint flashed in his eyes.

Look at him, striving hard for 3,000 dollars with his own little goals.

And then look at himself, already worth a billion or two, yet without a small goal.

He’s really slacking off!

Why can’t he have one?

Life shouldn’t be decadent!

Though now worth a billion or two, it’s still too little.

Seeing Chu Chen’s look, Sun Kai instinctively thought Chu Chen was intimidated by his salary.

Three thousand a day was indeed quite a lot!

A smug smile appeared on Sun Kai’s face as he nodded toward his companion not far away.

For a moment, Sun Kai felt as if he was floating, like the world couldn’t contain him!

“What’re you thinking?”

Sun Kai asked casually.

“I was just thinking of a small goal.”

“Interesting, what’s the small goal?”

As he said this, Sun Kai picked up the cup of water beside him.

“Make another billion tomorrow!”

Chu Chen said with a serious face.

Today, he had acquired all the property on Wutong Street, earning 300 million. Tomorrow was bound to be better.

Since it’s a small goal, it shouldn’t be too much, just a billion.

A billion, that’s not much.

“Poof!”

Sun Kai hadn’t even swallowed the water before spraying it out.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

He started coughing violently, genuinely startled.

Not far away, Sun Kai’s colleague was also dumbfounded.

I’ve got a small goal, to make another billion tomorrow?

Damn, is this a small goal?

That’s a massive goal!

It’s a lifelong impossible goal!

Watching Chu Chen, Sun Kai felt utter contempt.

If you’re going to brag, just do it.

But you’ve bragged to the heavens!

At first, Sun Kai thought Chu Chen would say something like making 500 a day, but never expected this.

“Chu Chen, you’re out of line here! I’m talking to you, yet you start bragging…”

Sun Kai scolded coldly.

But before Sun Kai could finish, the shop owner suddenly came out from the back room.

At that moment, the shop owner was holding a wad of cash, at least tens of thousands.

“As soon as I saw Mr. Chu come in, I immediately went to get the money.”

“This is next month’s rent, please take it.”

Handing the money to Chu Chen, the shop owner said respectfully.

Chu Chen opened the black plastic bag for the shop owner to place the money inside.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Seeing what’s inside the black plastic bag, Sun Kai began to cough violently again.

Money!

It’s all money in there!

At least hundreds of thousands!!!

At that moment, it felt like a thousand alpacas were galloping through Sun Kai’s heart.

Carrying money in a plastic bag, how nonchalant.

“I’m leaving.”

Chu Chen turned, gave Sun Kai a pat on the shoulder,

“Thanks for inspiring my small goal.”

With that, Chu Chen took the bag of money and left the store.

“Do you know Mr. Chu?”

Watching Chu Chen leave, the shop owner curiously asked.

“I do, we’re from the same hometown.”

“Your hometown buddy is amazing, bought the whole Wutong Street. Not even mentioning how much Wutong Street is worth, just from collecting rent he could make millions a month.”

“Why is there such a huge difference between people?”

The shop owner said enviously.

Clang!

Upon hearing this, the cup in Sun Kai’s hand dropped to the ground.

The entire Wutong Street belonged to him.

Wutong Street’s total value is several billion?!

Just now, the shop owner said Chu Chen purchased it?

Owning Wutong Street implies Chu Chen has more assets?

I have a small goal, to make another billion tomorrow!

Suddenly, he recalled what Chu Chen just said and was completely stupefied!

Was what Chu Chen said true?

He, with a meager monthly salary of over ten thousand, trying to boast in front of a billionaire?
