Ch 31 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

After giving the photo of the mysterious woman to Xie Zheng, Fang Ziyang originally planned to quietly investigate along the leads provided by Xie Zheng. After all, Xie Zheng’s strong reaction upon seeing the photo seemed to indicate that he knew something.

However, Fang Ziyang underestimated Xie Zheng’s power. Being able to rise to the position of the head of a century-old prestigious family, Xie Zheng certainly had his own capabilities. It was not something that Fang Ziyang could easily challenge on his own.

Moreover, Xie Zheng couldn’t be idle all the time and just focus on this matter.

In the end, Fang Ziyang had no choice but to give up and wait for news. His intuition told him that Xie Zheng wouldn’t harm him.

He had always trusted his intuition. After all, ever since he was expelled from the Fang family in his previous life, whenever he disliked someone, that person would inevitably bring him trouble. It had proven true time and time again.

The investigation into the photo didn’t yield any immediate results, but there was news from Xie Wenxu in the meantime.

On the third day after leaving the coffee shop, Fang Ziyang didn’t know what Xie Zheng had done, but he heard rumors that Xie Wenxu had been grounded by his family.

As for the progress on their engagement issue, there hadn’t been any developments yet. However, based on the current situation, Fang Ziyang had a good idea. He believed that Xie Zheng would definitely give him a satisfactory outcome.

But every time he thought about it, he felt regretful.

If he had known in his previous life that Xie Zheng, this “kind-hearted” person, would actually favor him and Xie Wenxu in their affairs, he would have already sided with Xie Zheng. With Xie Zheng’s help, maybe he wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation later on.

Unfortunately, hindsight is 20/20! He had bad luck, and Xie Zheng’s fate was filled with twists and turns, dying in a car accident at a young age.

By the way, when did Xie Zheng’s car accident happen in his previous life? It seemed to be shortly after his college entrance examination.

Since Xie Zheng had helped him so much this time, he also needed to give something in return. He would help Xie Zheng avoid a disaster when the time came, a fair trade where no one owed anyone, a perfect plan.

…

With a determined mind, Fang Ziyang no longer worried about Xie Zheng’s side and continued to focus his energy on preparing for the college entrance examination and raising funds.

His time was limited. Once Yan Tong entered the Fang family, relying on his knowledge of the world’s plot, he would provide great assistance to Fang Yandong’s career, and Fang Yandong’s assets would rapidly increase.

Therefore, he had to quickly establish his own team and plan before that. Otherwise, if he was too slow, he would be left behind!

After careful consideration during this period, Fang Ziyang set his sights on “Dongsheng Pharmaceutical Group.”

Although he started out as someone who lacked academic ability in his previous life, after leaving the Fang family, he devoted a lot of effort to learning and studying again in order to seek revenge. He studied and researched the companies that Fang Yandong and Yan Tong had ruined, drawing lessons and gaining experience to strengthen himself.

Dongsheng Pharmaceutical was one of the companies he had carefully studied before.

In the previous life, Dongsheng Pharmaceutical was also a thriving presence, an established pharmaceutical company in Jiang City.

However, due to internal family disputes and the rise of the Fang family, the company began to decline and is currently in a very bad situation.

But a camel that starves to death is still bigger than a horse. It was not easy for the Fang family to directly take down Dongsheng Pharmaceutical. The main reason Dongsheng Pharmaceutical went bankrupt in the first place was because Yan Tong had stolen the golden finger from him.

The contents of the space button left by the ancestors of the Lu family were enough to change the entire world’s medical and technological landscape.

At the beginning of his rebirth, Fang Ziyang had thought about how to deal with the golden finger.

It wasn’t realistic to hide it. Yan Tong was well aware of the existence of his golden finger and even tried to steal it. If he hid it, he would basically be telling Yan Tong that he had something to hide, which would undoubtedly raise her suspicions.

However, upon careful recollection of the contents of the golden book, he found that there were areas where he could operate. Before Yan Tong stole his golden finger, it seemed that he didn’t have a complete understanding of the specifics. He only knew that there were advanced technological materials hidden in the space button, but he knew nothing about the formulas for those nutrient solutions.

This gave him a significant amount of maneuvering space.

Since it would take a considerable amount of time to fully understand the technological materials inside the golden finger and derive results from them, he decided to keep it for now and use the formula for the nutrient solutions, trying not to arouse Yan Tong’s suspicion and vigilance. The main industries of the Fang Group were real estate and pharmaceuticals.

Now that Dongsheng Pharmaceutical was being squeezed to the brink of bankruptcy by the Fang family, it was the perfect opportunity for him to acquire it and establish a foundation. This time, Fang Yandong wouldn’t be able to kill Dongsheng Pharmaceutical, and Fang Ziyang would make sure that Dongsheng Pharmaceutical took a big bite out of Fang Yandong!

However, the plan was good, but there was a problem with funding.

Fang Ziyang assessed his assets, and although he had a considerable amount, he couldn’t currently use his grandfather’s inheritance. The only funds he could mobilize were the 2.3 billion from selling software and the 2.3 billion he had swindled back from Fang Yandong, totaling 4.6 billion.

This amount wasn’t enough to acquire Dongsheng Pharmaceutical.

If he borrowed money, although Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu could help, their lending capacity was limited and far from enough.

After careful consideration, Fang Ziyang realized that there was only one quick way to make money: continue fleecing Fang Yandong.

Since it was Fang Yandong, he felt no psychological pressure and even found it very enjoyable!

After dealing with the sudden impact caused by the previous company’s plane crash, Fang Yandong, who had just settled down, once again focused his attention on Fang Ziyang, thinking about how to retrieve the funds he had been swindled out of.

In this case, as a good son, how could Fang Ziyang not fulfill his father’s wishes?

On a weekend, he packed a few exercise books and went to Zhao Jingyu’s house under the pretense of studying with his classmates.

He also called Zhou Jun and asked him to bring his father along when he came.

Although the Zhou family and the Zhao family were both engaged in the construction business and supermarket business, respectively, their companies were not too large in Jiang City, worth only a few billion. They couldn’t be compared to conglomerates like the Fang family.

However, both families had strong backgrounds within the Jiang City circle.

The Zhou family had relatives in the municipal government, while the Zhao family had connections with the police. The video that went viral recently involving a criminal case was handled quickly and resulted in severe punishment because Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu were able to intervene and expedite the process.

Moreover, what Fang Ziyang valued most was the good family values of the Zhou and Zhao families. They placed great emphasis on the moral education of their children.

Despite Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu’s love for indulgence, partying, and showing off, they were actually very good students. They weren’t top students, but they were definitely among the best. However, their unconventional appearance and behavior often made people overlook their excellent qualities.
