Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After being persuaded by the program team, Wirth’s anger was reduced by half.

‘This is a live broadcast after all.’

‘If we fire Ryan on the spot, the entire company’s image would be affected greatly.’

‘Ryan is just a child, if I were to get angry at him, it would make me seem ungracious.’

It was not that Wirth cared about Ryan’s reputation, but this was a program that was being broadcasted live.

If it were any other day he would not even have had second thoughts before firing an employee. 

As a director, he would make any employee who dared to speak so arrogantly to him pay the price.

Just as he was hesitating, Jon’s former enemy said, “Director, you must agree to Mr. Ryan’s request.

Although this is a show, don’t forget that this is a real role reversal.

Right now, Mr. Ryan is representing Jon’s position.

If you don’t fire Ryan, then the prestige that you have established will be seriously damaged.

Moreover, not firing him will also bring negative effects that are irreversible even with live publicity.”

Hearing this, Wirth immediately signed the resignation report.

The termination process was complete.

Meanwhile, Jon was listening to the teacher’s lecture and at a loss.

If Jon had known that his son lost his job on his first day at work, he would definitely rush home and yell at his son.

He was not young anymore, where else would he find a position as a manager?

The middle-age crisis existed in every country.

But it was way worse in America.

Getting fired would leave a stain on his resume, it would be extremely difficult for him to find a job at another investment company.

Jon’s head hurt as he listened to the teacher explain a math question.

“Math seems to be a little too difficult? It’s much harder than when I learned it, it’s no wonder that that kid doesn’t like to study…”

On the other side.

Ryan was holding his resignation report, he did not even bother packing other things. When he got to the door, he saw a woman staring at him in a daze.

He smiled playfully and said, “You think that I’m handsome? You can ask the program team for my number.”

The woman’s face instantly turned beet-red.

What he had to do next was very clear.

He had to think of a way to earn a million dollars. He had to compensate his father’s position that got dismissed after all.

The system combined with his past life’s identity boosted his confidence in the matter.

Firstly, he would use his investment talent and show the people from Jon’s company his capabilities.

He only needed a few million dollars, he could use it to make even more money.

But starting was the hardest part.

The program team was still following him.

The true purpose of the program was to allow the people who switched roles to advance freely as long as they were not breaking the law.

When the program ends, the program team would have to help Jon return to the company. After all, Ryan was the one who caused trouble and resigned, none of this had anything to do with Jon.

Even though Ryan had lived two lifetimes, earning millions of dollars out of thin air was undoubtedly still a challenge.

After leaving the company, he went straight to the bank and to check his account balance.

The program team was quiet throughout the journey.

‘This guy takes the cake. We’ve done nine episodes of this program before meeting someone like him—he resigned from his father’s position on his very first day.’

Ryan thought to himself, ‘The original owner of this body must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.’

He should at least have saved up his Christmas money, allowance from his father, and income from daily odd jobs. Otherwise, how could he live such an extravagant lifestyle?

Ryan was certain that the balance must be quite the sum.

Children in the United States would mow their neighbors’ lawns from the young age of five to earn extra pocket money.

The tens of millions of viewers of the live broadcast were speechless as they watched him make his way to the bank.

“This child is too stubborn.”

“He quit his job. Now he wants to withdraw money to indulge in alcohol and debauchery?”

“F*ck, he is the epitome of a prodigal. He’s far worse than me! We’re the same kind of people, I like him.”

“He’s so handsome. I want to be his boyfriend…”

“Boyfriend…”

“He’s 17 years old. If he were my child, I’d make sure he gets as far away from me as possible when he comes of age next year.”

The viewers’ comments flooded the screen crazily.

This made the program team excited.

The program had hit an all-time high.

“I’m in awe, he resigned from his dad’s position on his very first day.”

However, the program team was feeling very distressed at the same time.

They arranged for people to go to Jon’s company to discuss. They agreed that this was Ryan’s doing and had nothing to do with Jon. Once the program ended, they shouldn’t make things difficult for Jon.

Ryan didn’t care about whether the broadcast was live or not.

These people were just his audience.

He still had his crown-prince-like pride from his previous life—letting them watch him earn money was a form of charity that benefitted them.

Ryan arrived at the bank. He pursed his lips, “The original host is so poor, he only has a balance of 10,000 dollars.”

He took out all the money without hesitation.

He returned to the car.

The program team couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Ryan, where are we going now?”

Everyone became nervous.

“Where do you think this brat is going with 10,000 dollars?”

“What else would he do? He’s probably going blow the money somewhere.”

“How does he spend so much money so carelessly within such a short period of time? Does he not feel embarrassed?”

“Embarrassed about what? Even if he runs out of money the program team wouldn’t possibly let him starve to death, right?”

“Hahahaha, I want to see him become homeless. I’m a vagrant myself, there’s a place to sleep next to me.”

“He’ll probably go to a bar. After all, this child is at his prime, it’s a lonely age. Well, this young and beautiful lady over here volunteers as tribute. My address is…”

Someone typed their address in the comment section, the male viewers went crazy.

This resulted in a certain house located in San Francisco having a queue that lasted from the morning until the next day.

‘Don’t listen to what they’re saying?’

‘What did they say anyway?’

Ryan never cared.

“Go to the stock exchange,” Ryan said calmly.

One of the program team members was driving now.

Ryan was completely acting like a boss and sitting in the back row.

Letting Ryan drive was dicing with death.

“Stocks?”

Everyone was amused.

Stock trading was like gambling.

People who frequent the stock market have the tendency to jump off buildings.

Most of the people who had succeeded had insider information.

However, everyone still felt relieved. Ryan only had 10,000 dollars, it was very easy for people to gamble when they did not have money.

“Looks like this brat still thinks about the future. It’s just that he chose the wrong path.”

“He’ll probably lose everything. Tomorrow, the program team will have to provide him food.”

The program team members were also speechless.

What else could they say? The true essence of the program was to not interfere with people who exchanged their roles as long as they weren’t breaking the law.

The number of viewers of the program was increasing.

Ryan had yet to reach the stock exchange, many people were already there waiting for him. They had prepared their phones to take photos of him.

They even formed a welcoming pathway for him.

This was the effect of live broadcasting.

Some prankster had even laid a red carpet for him.

The program team opened the back door, Ryan walked out calmly.

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

The camera flashes kept on going off.

It hadn’t even been a day but Ryan’s actions had already attracted the attention of tens of millions of people.

Who doesn’t enjoy some attention?

Then, Ryan did something that was out of everyone’s expectations.

He waved to the crowd like he was actually a star, he even maintained a smile that stars usually had on their faces.
