“Hello, everyone. Today is the 24th of March. Welcome to the morning news…”

Who was talking?

The noise woke Zhao Feng up from his muddled dream. He opened his tired eyes and looked around at his surroundings in confusion.

The clean bedroom, the soft bed, and the warm sunlight that shone in through the window. Everything was like a dream.

“Am I dreaming?”

Zhao Feng got up from the bed and pinched his arm hard.

The intense pain made Zhao Feng wide awake. He was not dreaming!

The time on the bottom left corner of the TV news program had never been so striking.

After a while, Zhao Feng finally accepted the fact that he had been reborn!

Twenty years before the apocalypse, half a year later, a solar storm would hit the global ecosystem.

The sun had turned the entire world into a purgatory, and the brilliant civilization of mankind that had lasted for thousands of years had been reduced to ashes under the flames of the sun. With the level of human technology, it was impossible to resist the sun’s power.

Since then, the world had entered the apocalyptic era, and only a few lucky ones were able to live a good life in the cruel apocalyptic world.

Zhao Feng was like most people in the world. He could only struggle to survive and could die in the next second.

After confirming that he had indeed been reborn, Zhao Feng quickly sorted out what he had.

The memories of the past flooded his mind, and the date on the news program stabbed Zhao Feng’s heart.

Three days ago, a piece of bad news came. His parents encountered a plane crash on a flight heading abroad and unfortunately, both of them passed away.

Now, he was facing the problem of inheriting his family’s business. The company his parents had worked hard to set up was facing a situation, there was no leader to take over.

He had just graduated from college and had not yet established enough prestige in the company.

Therefore, a few uncles and relatives who held high positions in the company stood up at this time, and they wanted to fight for the inheritance of the company!

Today was the day he would go to the company to attend the board meeting and confirm the new chairman!

“Hehe, in my previous life, I almost gave everything I had for the position of the chairman, but I didn’t expect that the apocalypse would come, and all my efforts would be in vain.”

“Since the heavens have allowed me to live again and coincidentally return to this day, I will definitely not let this opportunity go to waste!”

“Dad, Mom, I’ll carry your hopes and live well during the apocalypse that will arrive in half a year!

After sorting out his mood, Zhao Feng set off lightly to the food company his parents had founded.

Maple Leaf Food Group.

It was a medium-sized food company in China and had many quality customers abroad. Its annual net profit could reach billions of Yuan.

At this time, the atmosphere in the company was slightly depressed. The ordinary employees were idling at their desks.

They had just received a notice to suspend all work for the day. All work would be arranged after the new chairman was elected!

“Young Master Zhao, you’re finally here. Please come in!”

The security guard at the door greeted Zhao Feng with a sinister smile. Zhao Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He knew that this person could mix with his uncles.

Now, many people in the company who were on his uncles’ side were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

“Take me to the meeting room directly.”

He arrived at the top floor of the building. The chairman’s office was also there, but Zhao Feng had no chance to enter this office again.

Zhao Feng had just walked into the meeting room when it suddenly became silent.

The few uncles sitting at the table looked at Zhao Feng with a smile as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

“Xiao Zhao, you’re here. Take a seat, and don’t be nervous.”

“We all know that the death of Chairman Zhao and his wife was a huge blow to you, but we have to look forward. Don’t be too sad, we’re willing to help you get through anything!”

Zhao Feng was disgusted by the fake faces of his uncles, but he didn’t show it.

If he wanted to have the capital to resist the apocalypse, he had to rely on them to earn his first bucket of gold in his life!

After all, when the apocalypse arrived, it would no longer make a difference whether they were rich or poor, and these uncles would probably not last more than a year.

The lucky ones might be killed by the sun’s light on the day of the apocalypse, but the unlucky ones would still have to bear the hunger and the torture of war that came after.

“Thank you for your understanding. In order not to waste your time, I’ll cut to the chase.”

When Zhao Feng opened his mouth, all the uncles present were stunned. They felt that Zhao Feng was a little unfamiliar today.

“Xiao Feng, are you alright? Was it too much of a mental shock? My condolences.”

Zhao Ming, an uncle who had a good relationship with Zhao Feng, said.

Zhao Feng smiled.

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle Ming. I’m in good shape. You’re right. People should always look forward.”

“I also think that I don’t have the ability and prestige to manage the company, so why don’t we all help each other? I’m willing to give up my position as chairman and hand over the control of the company to everyone!”

The conference room was in an uproar.

Was this still Zhao Feng, who had a tough attitude when he received the news two days ago?

Or was there a conspiracy behind this?

“You all must think that I’m crazy, but you might as well listen to my conditions first.”

“According to the law, I have the legal right to inherit the company. So, in exchange for the position of the chairman and the right to control the company, I want you to use one billion to buy all the company shares in my hands!”

“And it must be paid in cash! After I get the money, I’ll have nothing to do with the company.”

The meeting room was silent for a long time. Everyone was stunned by Zhao Feng’s courage and the one billion transaction amount.

After a while, Zhao Ming asked.

“Xiao Feng, are you serious? As long as we’re willing to pay one billion, you’ll be willing to cut off all ties with the company?”

“Of course, I’ll hand over the goods when I get the money. Anyway, you should have brought the agreement with you today, right? Just change the amount on it and I’ll sign it.”

“The decision is in your hands.”

In less than half an hour, when Zhao Feng entered the meeting room again, a revised agreement was already in front of him.

“Deal!”

After signing, Zhao Feng immediately received a transfer notification.

The long string of zeros in the text message was not a huge number to Zhao Feng, but a countless amount of resources and the capital he had to survive during the apocalypse!

Zhao Feng had just received a huge sum of money and was ready to leave the company.

A melodious female voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Feng’s mind.

“Ding! Binding black-hearted merchant system in progress. Ding! Binding successful!”

“Master, congratulations on obtaining a newbie gift bag.”

“Ding! Master, it has been detected that you have just completed a black-hearted transaction.”

“Master, congratulations on obtaining the reward of unlimited storage space!”
