The Tycoon System: I Have a Universal Land

"Will we... ever meet again?"

"Is there even a need to meet?"

On the street, a young man was desperately trying to keep a girl with a final plea!

"Yongqing, can't you give me a chance? We've been together for three years! We got together in our third year of college, and after graduation, this past year, all my efforts and sacrifices have been for a better future for us. I imagined us getting married, having children, growing old together... and..."

"Stop! Can you not be so disgusting? We're talking about breaking up now! Shang Yunyun, we're not suited for each other! That was all in the past. Back then, I was naive and immature. We didn't know much in college and didn't have money to make a living! But look at us now. You're in the capital! The capital of Shenhua! How much do you earn every month? Seven or eight thousand? And you promised to buy a house? What are you going to buy it with? Your salary of seven or eight thousand? You'll never even save up enough for a down payment in your whole life. Or are you planning to buy it with that useless saline-alkali land in your village? Shang Yunyun, wake up!"

"Heh, so it's all about money!" Shang Yunyun sneered. "Yan Yongqing, do you really have no love for me at all? Three years—these were our best years together!"

Yan Yongqing looked at Shang Yunyun and sneered. Best years? Who doesn't have those? But Shang Yunyun, a poor guy from the countryside, though handsome, had nothing. He couldn't provide her with anything she wanted. Yan Yongqing couldn't stand it anymore!

"Yunyun! This is it! You're useless, don't blame me! I already have someone else!"

"What did you say! You have someone else?" Shang Yunyun's voice cracked with disbelief.

"Yes!" Yan Yongqing replied confidently. "Although he's a bit older, he's a senior executive at a financial investment company, earning nearly a million a year. He owns his own house in the capital and drives a car you could never imagine in your life! So, I advise you to stop bothering me, or my boyfriend might see you, and you won't have it easy!"

With that, Yan Yongqing turned to leave!

"Yongqing, wait!" Shang Yunyun reached out to grab her hand once more, trying to hold onto her.

"Let go! I'm telling you, Shang Yunyun, you're just useless trash! So what if you look good? Men need money, status, and ability! Not just good looks! You came from a poor background, your job is terrible, and you don't have money! Why should I waste my best years on you? Trash! Get lost!"

Hearing Yan Yongqing's words, Shang Yunyun was completely disappointed. In his memory, the warm and kind girl he knew would never speak to him like this!

Not far away, a Mercedes G500 stopped by the road. Shang Yunyun watched as Yan Yongqing smiled and got into the car. Behind the wheel, a bald, older man turned to look at Shang Yunyun and smiled.

Seeing the G-Class leave, Shang Yunyun was stunned! The car's license plate and the man driving it—the project manager of his team at work, Ma Yongsheng!

Shang Yunyun couldn't believe it. His girlfriend of three years had been stolen by the project manager at his own company!

Anger, frustration, and a sense of injustice surged through Shang Yunyun as he shouted. Unable to control his emotions, he immediately dialed Ma Yongsheng's number!

"Ma Yongsheng! You shameless bastard! You stole my girlfriend! She was my first love!"

"Shang Yunyun, are you an idiot? Your woman, Yan Yongqing, threw herself at me. I didn't steal her! You should thank me for making her perfect again! You're really an idiot. You've been together for three years, and you never even touched her. Are you sick? Hahahaha! Oh, by the way, starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to work anymore. You're fired!"

"What do you mean!" Shang Yunyun listened in shock as the call continued. He had lost his girlfriend and his job within half an hour?

"Exactly what I mean! Your project ability is lacking. I've already spoken to the general manager. You're the one who voluntarily resigned. The company won't give you any compensation, so just leave!"

"Go to hell! Are you even human! I'm going to..." Shang Yunyun shouted.

"Beep, beep, beep..." Ma Yongsheng didn't listen to another word and hung up the phone. In the next few minutes, he was removed from all the company's group chats!

Shang Yunyun stood on the roadside, staring at the intersection, feeling lost. These people were bullying him too much!

Suddenly, his phone rang. Shang Yunyun looked at the caller ID—his father was calling!

"Dad!" Shang Yunyun's voice was low and despondent.

"Son, what's wrong? You don't sound right."

"I just broke up with Yongqing. The company fired me on purpose. I'm just a bit angry."

"Son, if things don't work out, just come back. The people in the village are kind, and it's a different world from the outside. Don't be sad. Come home for a while. Your grandfather's condition is not good!"

Hearing his father's words, Shang Yunyun felt another blow. It seemed that the world was truly unfair—when someone is down on their luck, everything seems to go wrong, even a sip of water gets stuck in their teeth!

"What happened to Grandpa?"

"He's old. Come back quickly. I hope you can see him one last time."

Shang Yunyun didn't waste any time. Since things had already happened, he couldn't keep clinging to the past. He decided to deal with things one by one.

On the bus, Shang Yunyun watched as the streets changed from bustling to dimly lit. Memories of his childhood with his grandfather, memories of working tirelessly and late into the night, and memories of the woman he had once shared his life with in the capital—all of these flashed before him. But it all felt like a fragile dream, easily shattered with the slightest touch.
