Highlights
Chen Yang wakes up to Ye Qingya revealing she is pregnant with his child. Immediately after, a 'Super Omnipotent System' activates within Chen Yang, granting him various 'Beginner' skills in finance, culinary arts, driving, and foreign languages. The system's initial activation rewards him with 'God Level' financial investment skills and the title 'God of Investment'.
Chen Yang expresses his commitment to Ye Qingya and their child. However, Li Bo, a rich student who also desires Qingya, challenges Chen Yang. Li Bo reveals that Qingya's family owes him 30 million dollars. Chen Yang confidently declares he will pay off the debt in three days, setting up a high-stakes wager with Li Bo.
Qingya expresses concern about Chen Yang's plan to invest in stocks, but he reassures her with his newfound 'God Level' skills. With a starting capital of 100,000 dollars (50,000 from him and 50,000 from Qingya), Chen Yang begins trading Hong Kong stocks, aiming to make 30 million in less than two days.
Li Bo encounters Chen Yang at the stock exchange and mocks his small capital and choice of 'trash' stocks. Despite Li Bo's dismissal, Chen Yang's chosen stock, Green Shirt Properties, triples in value. Li Bo, attempting to sabotage Chen Yang, invests 300 million dollars in shorting the stock, unaware of the system's predictions. Chen Yang advises Li Bo to sell before the predicted drop, but Li Bo refuses. As predicted, the stock plummets, causing Li Bo to lose over 100 million dollars after selling at a loss.
Chen Yang sells his shares, having turned his initial 100,000 into 2.4 million dollars. He then invests in another stock, Ruidong Group, which quadruples, and re-invests in Green Shirt Properties, which triples again. In two days, his capital grows to 35 million dollars. Meanwhile, Li Bo vows revenge against Chen Yang for his financial losses.
Chen Yang arrives at Qingya’s company to pay off her family's 30 million dollar debt. Li Bo and his associates mock Chen Yang, believing he cannot produce the money and demanding he fulfill the wager. Chen Yang successfully transfers 30 million dollars, surprising everyone, especially Li Bo. A fight ensues with Li Bo's thugs, but Chen Yang, empowered by his newly activated 'Master' level Sanshou martial arts skill, easily defeats them.
Chen Yang, now financially stable, considers living with Qingya. Simultaneously, financial companies, impressed by his miraculous stock market gains, offer him high-paying jobs. Mr. Liu, General Manager of Ding Feng Securities, offers him a 5 million dollar annual salary plus 30% project share. However, Chen Yang, influenced by Li Bo's continued interference attempts to blackball him, ultimately declines conventional employment, preferring independence. He continues to invest, turning 600,000 dollars into 1.5 million in just half an hour, further solidifying his investment prowess.
Mr. Liu approaches Chen Yang to partner for a major investment project with Mr. Qin, a powerful figure looking to invest a billion dollars. Chen Yang agrees, viewing it as an opportunity to expand his network. Li Bo also aims for this project with his 'elite' financial expert. Chen Yang successfully secures the deal with Mr. Qin, impressing him with his abilities and exposing Li Bo's past financial blunders.
Chen Yang presents irrefutable evidence of his 100,000 to 100 million dollar stock gains, including a verified securities account. This solidifies his credibility with Mr. Qin and embarrasses Li Bo, who had claimed Chen Yang was a fraud. Mr. Qin publicly announces his partnership with Chen Yang and provides him with a prestigious club membership card. During a celebratory party, Li Bo tries to discredit Chen Yang again, but Mr. Qin defends Chen Yang, teaching Li Bo a lesson in humility.
Chen Yang has doubled Mr. Qin's billion-dollar investment in just one week, earning him 500 million dollars and the respect of Mr. Qin, who now considers him a brother. Chen Yang, however, wants Mr. Qin to continue suppressing the Li family, leading to their impending bankruptcy. Mr. Qin agrees to help Chen Yang with the favor, confirming the Li family's downfall.
Chen Yang proposes marriage to Qingya. However, Qingya's mother, valuing wealth and status, sets three seemingly impossible conditions: (1) buy a single-family villa in a wealthy neighborhood, registered solely under Qingya's name, with full payment; (2) provide a 50 million dollar cash dowry; and (3) get their family restaurant chain a spot in the prestigious Qin's shopping mall. Chen Yang confidently vows to fulfill them all within a day, much to the disbelief of Qingya's parents and the amusement of Li Bo, who overhears the conditions.
Chen Yang gets Mr. Qin to greenlight the restaurant's inclusion in the mall, with three years of free rent. He then presents evidence of purchasing a 200 million dollar villa (registered to Qingya) and a 100 million dollar check (50 million for dowry, 50 million for pension), both sourced from his earnings with Mr. Qin. Li Bo tries to accuse Chen Yang of theft, but Mr. Qin's arrival confirms Chen Yang's integrity and massive wealth, leading to Li Bo's public humiliation and physical punishment from both Chen Yang and his own father, who disowns him due to the family's bankruptcy caused by Li Bo's actions and antagonism towards Chen Yang and Mr. Qin.
With all obstacles removed and Li Bo disgraced, Qingya's mother finally gives her blessing for the marriage. Chen Yang and Qingya joyfully embrace, having overcome all challenges orchestrated by Li Bo and the initial skepticism of her family. They look forward to a happy future together.
