Run, Young Man, Run!

On the second day of the top-up event—

"Ding! The host's accumulated income has reached 180,000. Would you like to activate the Random Multiplier?"

On the third day—

"Ding! The host's accumulated income has reached 260,000. Would you like to activate the Random Multiplier?"

On the fourth day—

"Ding! The host's accumulated income has reached 340,000. Would you like to activate the Random Multiplier?"

On the fifth day—

"Ding! The host's accumulated income has reached 410,000. Would you like to activate the Random Multiplier?"

The sixth day…

The seventh day…

"Ding! The host's accumulated income has reached 540,000. Would you like to activate the Random Multiplier?"

Excitement. An unparalleled thrill.

Chen Pingsheng felt as if he had just unlocked a brand-new gateway to making money.

Over the past week, the top-up event at their fruit store had been growing bigger and bigger.

In just seven days, total top-ups had exceeded a million.

With his 51% share, his actual earnings amounted to over 500,000.

That wasn't even the best part. The real jackpot was that he had discovered a new way to leverage his cheat for making money.

From now on, running a fruit store would be a guaranteed success as long as he followed his three-step plan.

Step one: Location.

Choosing the right spot was the most crucial aspect of opening a fruit supermarket.

Step two: Low-cost traffic generation.

By offering high-quality fruit at cost price, he could quickly build a steady customer base within three months.

Step three: Top-up promotions.

By offering discounts and incentives for prepayments, he could bring in future revenue upfront and significantly boost his immediate cash flow.

Take the 1 million in top-ups from the past seven days, for example. If he had relied solely on profit margins from regular fruit sales, he would have only made 10-15%.

But with this method, his earnings shot up to nearly 80%!

The key was simple—customers had deposited money, but they hadn't spent it yet.

That meant it counted as pure income for the day.

With this calculation model, he could recoup his initial investment in a fruit store three to five times over within just three months.

If this wasn't the road to riches, then what was?

"Activate."

Sitting in his small office, Chen Pingsheng didn't hesitate. On the final day of the event, he triggered the Random Multiplier.

Two golden dice appeared before him.

The first landed on 4.

The second landed on 2.

[Congratulations, Host! You have received a 6x multiplier!]

[Your Alipay account has been credited with 3.24 million. New balance: 3.54 million.]

He was rich.

Truly, undeniably rich.

Including his previous savings of over 300,000, he had now officially crossed the million mark.

More than that—he had over 3 million in his account.

The sudden wealth hit him with an exhilarating rush.

Now that the event was over, the store's daily revenue had dropped back to a normal 10,000 to 20,000 per day.

That was expected. After all, customers who had topped up would naturally start spending, which would slow down cash flow.

As the holiday season ended and the weather warmed slightly, Song Yanxi switched to a professional business outfit.

A crisp white blouse, sleek black fitted pants, and a lightweight down jacket over the top.

She looked stunning—her slender waist and round hips accentuating her elegant figure.

The more he looked, the more he liked.

"Honey, this is my first time managing over a million. Do you think I should be extra careful when going out?"

As the financial manager of Tengsheng Supermarket, Song Yanxi was now responsible for handling over a million yuan in customer deposits.

If she knew that Chen Pingsheng had 3 million in his account right now, she'd probably go crazy with excitement.

There was no way he could explain where all this money had come from, so he decided not to tell her just yet.

Song Yanxi had been working tirelessly—arriving at the store by 8 AM and leaving after 9 PM, putting in over 12 hours a day.

But she was the boss's wife.

Working hard for herself was both tiring and satisfying.

Chen Pingsheng teased her, "The houses in those upscale neighborhoods each cost at least a few million. Do you think the people living there worry about their buildings collapsing while they sleep?"

He pulled out a chair for her, hoping to ease her concerns.

It was just a little over a million—nothing to stress about.

In Beijing, a single brick falling from an apartment complex could probably hit a millionaire.

Housing prices weren't coming down anytime soon.

Song Yanxi chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling. "I know, but I've never handled this much money before. It makes me a little nervous."

"What's there to worry about?"

Chen Pingsheng said seriously, "Yanxi, now that this top-up event is over, we won't be able to run another large-scale promotion for a few months. That's why I'm thinking… next month, we should use this customer money to open another store."

If he didn't have his cheat ability, he would never have considered expanding so quickly.

A stable business required patience and time to mature.

Growing too fast could lead to financial disaster—many companies had crumbled due to reckless expansion.

But with his cheat, things were completely different.

Opening another Tengsheng Fruit Supermarket would require about 1 million in investment.

Even if the new store didn't turn a profit for the first two months, as long as he built up enough foot traffic, he could launch another big top-up event.

That would allow him to instantly recover all his costs and make a hefty profit on top.

It was an insanely good deal.

Compared to the meager profits he used to make from street vending, this was a hundred times better.

Song Yanxi, however, was stunned.

Something felt… off.

Her husband had always been the cautious type.

Yet now, after running just one store for a few weeks, he was already talking about opening a second location?

Absolutely not.

"Honey, are you getting ahead of yourself? Our store has only been open for a few days, and you're already thinking about expansion?"

Song Yanxi felt the need to bring him back down to earth.

"This 1 million isn't profit—it's money that customers have prepaid. If we use it to open another store and run into cash flow issues later, we'll be in big trouble."

She had a valid point—if he didn't have his cheat ability.

But he did.

Chen Pingsheng smiled calmly. He had already prepared his counterargument.

"You're right, but you're missing one key factor—wholesale market agreements. If we open a second store, our purchasing volume will increase. That means we can negotiate with suppliers to shift from a 10-day payment cycle to a monthly one."

"This way, the suppliers' money is tied up with us, ensuring that our cash flow remains stable."

It was basic business strategy.

Retail chains operated on the same principle—the more stores you had, the better terms you could negotiate.

Take purchasing costs, for example.

Buying 10,000 yuan worth of fruit versus buying 1 million worth—obviously, the pricing wouldn't be the same.

Song Yanxi admitted that his logic made sense, but she still felt it was too risky.

Since he couldn't convince her right away, Chen Pingsheng decided to take action first.

With over 3 million in his account, he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't open another store immediately.

If he didn't start running now, how could he buy a house in full within the next few months?

That's right—he wasn't even thinking about a mortgage anymore.

It had to be a full-cash purchase.
