A life of financial freedom

Fei Jie didn't know what Qiao Zhenghong was thinking, nor did he want to know.

Those words just now were all from the bottom of his heart. He believed he wasn't inferior to Qiao Zhenghong in any way, and was even more outstanding.

He had studied diligently for so many years, publishing numerous articles, definitely comparable to a celebrity.

He had that confidence.

But... what he lacked confidence in was Chu Yi.

He rushed back to his rented room, turned on the computer, and began searching for information about Qiao Zhenghong. Seeing the face of the celebrity Qiao Zhenghong on the screen matched the man from just now.

Fei Jie sighed.

Then, he began searching for various information about Chu Yi: photos, resumes, music albums. He compiled all of Chu Yi's information, placing his girlfriend Chu Yi and the big star Chu Yi side by side, using mathematical methods to calculate the error between the two, the probability of them not being the same person...

Fei Jie used all the mathematical formulas he knew to deduce, and the result was that his girlfriend Chu Yi was indeed the big star Chu Yi.

"Fei Jie, what are you doing?" His roommate stretched his neck to look at the computer screen, saw the big star Chu Yi, and said, "Even though your girlfriend looks like Chu Yi and is very beautiful, there's no need to show off like this, even starting to look up information about the big star Chu Yi."

"Do you have some other fetish? Eww~~~ You're so perverted."

The roommate said, "Your girlfriend really looks like the big star Chu Yi. Aside from the exquisite makeup, they're practically identical."

"But a fake is still a fake. Don't be eyeing the pot while eating from your bowl."

The roommate patted Fei Jie on the shoulder and then left.

Fei Jie sat in front of the computer, looking at Chu Yi's photo, and suddenly smiled.

He suddenly thought of a saying: People really do laugh when they're extremely speechless.

Chu Yi often said that she was the big star Chu Yi, but none of his friends or colleagues believed her.

And now, it turned out to be the truth.

This was a bit... speechless.

Fei Jie closed the computer, lay on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling with a strange feeling.

My girlfriend is a big star...

... ...

The next day, Chu Yi turned down work, got up early, and left home after breakfast.

She came to a shopping mall near the Bund.

Today was Fei Jie's birthday, and she was thinking about what gift to buy.

Chu Yi wore a mask and wandered around the mall alone, without finding anything.

Fei Jie was a very simple person. He usually ate at the school cafeteria, lived in a shared apartment, wore ordinary clothes, and lived a very ordinary life. He didn't have any demands for material things.

And the only thing he liked was mathematics. His house was filled with mathematical drafts.

For such an extremely minimalist man, it seemed like there was no gift to give.

Oh, Fei Jie seemed to have something he desired: a supercomputer.

"Hmm... never mind." Chu Yi shook her head.

She thought for a moment that she didn't seem to have that ability.

She entered a jewelry store, and the salesperson bowed and said, "Hello, madam, what can I do for you?"

"Today is my boyfriend's birthday, and I want to buy him a gift. I don't know what to buy. Can you recommend something?"

Chu Yi chose to ask the salesperson.

"No problem."

Next, the salesperson introduced Chu Yi to gifts she could give.

After walking around, Chu Yi took a fancy to a bracelet, pointed to it, and said, "I want that thing."

The salesperson hesitated, took off the bracelet, handed it to her, and introduced it, "This bracelet is our store's treasure, crafted with ingenuity, and is very valuable."

"How expensive is it?" Just then, a greasy middle-aged man walked over, "I'll buy it."

"Um... this lady saw it first," the salesperson said.

"I naturally know that." The greasy middle-aged man smiled slightly, "I'll pay for this bracelet and give it to this beautiful lady."

"Beautiful lady, your temperament complements this bracelet perfectly, a match made in heaven. As the saying goes, a bracelet goes with a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."

"Are you interested in having dinner together?"

"I think we definitely have a lot to talk about."

Chu Yi stared at the bracelet and asked, "Talk about what? Talk about how rich you are?"

"That's just one of my advantages. I have many other advantages." The greasy middle-aged man was confidently radiant.

"Then can you list three advantages besides being rich?"

"Handsome, devoted to relationships, sincere."

Chu Yi laughed suddenly, raised her head, pointed to her neck at the greasy middle-aged man.

The greasy middle-aged man looked down and saw a red lipstick mark on her neck.

Chu Yi handed the bracelet to the salesperson and said, "Wrap it up for me."

The greasy middle-aged man quickly said, "How much is it? I'll pay for it."

"Two million three hundred and fifty thousand," the salesperson replied.

The greasy middle-aged man, who was just about to take out his bank card to pay, suddenly stopped, and then felt Chu Yi's gaze.

The greasy middle-aged man smiled awkwardly.

"Waste!" Chu Yi shook her head, took out her bank card, swiped her card to pay, and then left with the bracelet, leaving a sentence before leaving, "If you don't have money, don't act tough."

Leaving the greasy middle-aged man standing there, looking at the salesperson and saying, "Is your store crazy? A broken bracelet sells for millions. Why don't you just rob people?"

He thought the bracelet would cost tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, but he didn't know it would cost millions.

The temperament of a rich man was gone in an instant.

The salesperson was a little aggrieved: "That bracelet is our store's treasure."

... ...

Chu Yi drove to the coffee shop she had arranged to meet Fei Jie, and walked in with the bracelet.

She didn't realize that in a hidden corner outside the coffee shop, there was a sneaky man hiding, holding a camera, pressing the shutter, taking one photo after another.

The man's face showed a happy expression: "Finally, I've taken a picture of Chu Yi's gossip. It's my turn to get rich this time."
