Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1113: Chapter 1023: Those Years 33

After Lin Qianqian’s anger subsided, she forced herself to calm down. Don’t panic, don’t panic. Although university students are very valuable at this time, it won’t be long before they are everywhere and not worth much.

If she can’t get into college, she should wait a bit longer. Soon, the country will encourage everyone to start their own businesses, and by then, she can follow the trend to start her own business.

Lin Qianqian had heard that during the early stages of the reform and opening up, being a scalper was particularly profitable, and she felt she could learn from it to earn her first pot of gold.

Once she’s made enough money, she plans to take this money to a big city. In her memory, she will buy several buildings in locations that will be bustling business districts in the future, and she could become wealthy just by waiting for the demolition payout.

Wen Shuangshuang, unaware of Lin Qianqian’s plans, had already boarded a train to university, about to start her college life.

There’s not much to say about the days at college. Wen Shuangshuang was busy studying, and later she also started busying herself with entrepreneurship and making money.

Wen Shuangshuang earned her first money from the stock market. With startup capital, subsequent ventures became increasingly easier.

Wen Shuangshuang began with real estate. By the time she graduated, she had already become the boss of a small but asset-rich real estate company.

Wen Shuangshuang built a large villa, bringing over her parents and older brother. Although her brother was physically weak, he had a great talent for design, so Wen Shuangshuang sent him for further studies so he could later join her company.

These years, Wen Shuangshuang and Sheng Zongze have remained in contact. Sheng Zongze is now a company commander, having grown stable inside and out. When they occasionally met, idle gossip ceased.

Today, Wen Shuangshuang is a TV celebrity, the most successful female entrepreneur, ranking third on the nation’s wealth list, idolized by countless women as a role model for advancement.

Wen Shuangshuang hired someone to investigate Lin Qianqian, finding that she was not doing well. After the reform and opening up, Lin Cheng’an went from a production team leader back to village chief, no longer wielding as much power as before and unable to protect Lin Qianqian as he once had.

Lin Qianqian left the village, intending to go to a developed southern city to buy and sell some goods to the north as she had planned.

This process was very arduous, and she had to evade inspectors. While it was profitable, after one trip, Lin Qianqian felt she was so exhausted she might shed a layer of skin.

After doing it twice, Lin Qianqian couldn’t take the hardship and switched to taking sleeper trains instead, which increased the costs.

However, the sleeper was equally narrow and uncomfortable, and after a few more trips, Lin Qianqian couldn’t bear it and decided to quit.

Fortunately, after a few trips, Lin Qianqian had saved up a sum of money. Though it wasn’t enough to buy a house and wait for it to appreciate, it was enough to start a small business.

The first thing Lin Qianqian targeted was food. Having once learned the skill of making spicy hot pot, she knew it would become a favorite nationwide in the future.

But at the moment, such food didn’t exist, so Lin Qianqian thought opening a spicy hot pot shop should be very profitable.

So Lin Qianqian went ahead and opened a small spicy hot pot shop. Although the business wasn’t as booming as she had anticipated, it was decent, earning daily income.

Lin Qianqian pondered, even though it wasn’t as profitable as she imagined, saving up for a few years might still allow her to buy a good house to hold and wait for appreciation.

Lin Qianqian had already set her sights on a place to buy a house, a location destined to be a particularly bustling business district, where owning a house would surely result in a big profit later on.

Lin Qianqian had beautiful hopes, but she forgot that restaurants in this era would attract a particular kind of guest, street hooligans.

During the early days of reform and opening up, public security was far from what it later became. It was common for hooligans to occupy restaurants and mooch meals.

Lin Qianqian’s spicy hot pot shop attracted these hooligans, and as a girl, she dared not provoke them.

The biggest trouble was Lin Qianqian’s extraordinarily beautiful face. This face may have been advantageous among men but could also bring her trouble.

A leader of the hooligans took a liking to Lin Qianqian, insisting that she become his girlfriend. Lin Qianqian, lacking the courage to defy, fearfully and reluctantly agreed.

With a hooligan leader as her boyfriend, Lin Qianqian’s little shop ran smoothly, with no more hooligans coming to eat for free.

The hooligan leader was also generous to Lin Qianqian, having money and willingly spending on her.

Over time, Lin Qianqian settled into this arrangement, thinking it wasn’t so bad. Anyway, when the hooligan leader eventually landed in jail or whatever, she would be free.

While Lin Qianqian was just getting used to this life, the rival of the hooligan leader stormed into her shop with a group to settle scores, resulting in a chaotic brawl with swinging sticks inside her shop.

Lin Qianqian was caught in the mess, and unfortunately, got hit on her lower back with a stick by someone unknown.

After the chaos ended, Lin Qianqian was taken to the hospital where they discovered the blow had injured her spine, leaving her lower body paralyzed.

Lin Qianqian was paralyzed, and from then on, she could only live in a wheelchair, unable to accept this result, she caused quite a disturbance in the hospital.

Her hooligan boyfriend couldn’t endure Lin Qianqian’s incessant tantrums and complaints and abandoned her.

Eventually, her father Lin Cheng’an brought Lin Qianqian back home.

Lin Qianqian currently had nearly a hundred thousand yuan on hand, a considerable sum for that era that could allow her to live comfortably even if paralyzed.

But in her heart, Lin Qianqian wasn’t at ease. Knowing that cash would devalue in the future, she realized this money wouldn’t sustain her for life.

Yet now paralyzed, Lin Qianqian couldn’t do any business or earn money, confined to her home, unable to travel far.

This situation worsened Lin Qianqian’s temper; she flew into rages over the slightest misspeaks, and her gaze was ominous.

Already having a bad reputation in the village, Lin Qianqian’s eccentric temper only made her less likable.

Lin Cheng’an, helpless, bought a television to occupy Lin Qianqian’s time. Once, Lin Qianqian saw a news report on the most successful female entrepreneur, Wen Shuangshuang, on TV.

Seeing the glamorous Wen Shuangshuang on the screen drove Lin Qianqian mad, smashing everything in her room at her feet.
