One
First time eating KFC.
Today, I played with my baby and ordered two portions of KFC's New Orleans grilled wings. Watching my child eat happily reminded me of my journey.
Before graduating from college, I had only eaten KFC once.
It was during my high school days that my cousin found a sister-in-law from the county. The sister-in-law's family was in real estate and was somewhat mismatched with my brother. She treated us well.
The family bucket my brother ordered was equivalent to celebrating the New Year. Although my brother and ex-sister-in-law have separated now, I still thank my sister-in-law for introducing me to KFC and letting me know that there is such delicious food in the world.
My younger brother also went at that time, and he said it didn't taste good. My brother said, 'Why didn't you say so earlier? None of us were full.' In the 2010s, KFC was a rare treat for us. My brother and sister-in-law were in love at that time, and my sister-in-law was very kind to us because she knew my brother and I came from the countryside.
After going to college, I still couldn't afford KFC, but there was a cheaper alternative, Wallace. Once, I ordered 50 yuan worth of Wallace at my ex-boyfriend's house, and he said, 'You really know how to spend money, don't let my dad see.'
At that time, 50 yuan was still a huge amount for us.
The two of us secretly finished eating Wallace burgers in the room, delicious. Burping made my heart feel all the happiness.
But this also destined that my ex-boyfriend and I were not on the same path. He thought it was a huge amount and that we shouldn’t eat such things, while my mouth knew better what kind of life I needed.
Eating KFC again.
I worked at a clothing store later, the manager is from Anhui, they like to eat noodles, I feel unsatisfied when I eat noodles, it tastes bad, and it makes me a little nauseous. Once, I had shredded pork noodles with pickled mustard greens, and there was a fly in the vegetables on top. I talked to a chubby aunt about it, and she said it was nothing, and flies contain protein. I unhappily paid the bill. 😭
When I didn't bring lunch, I would order a work meal. At that time, there should have been KFC work meals for 18 or 20 yuan, which must include a cola. I loved the New Orleans grilled wings so much that I couldn't bear to order them separately. If there was a combo, I would buy it and treat myself to a meal.
At that time, my salary was 3,500. After working for six months, I saved money to buy a washing machine and color TV for my family, gaining recognition from all the elderly in the village. Others thought I was doing well outside.
But I was very hard off. I hated taking the bus, and I would get car sick. Every day going to work, taking the early and late shifts, I felt very depressed when I took the bus in the afternoon for the late shift.

Just entering the cryptocurrency world, I said goodbye to KFC.
At the end of 2015, I met my first boss. I caught a ride in his BMW through Didi. At that time, Didi had just entered the Nanjing market, and a ride only cost a little over 2 yuan. The bus also cost 2 yuan, and transferring buses would cost 4 yuan, so of course, I took Didi.
Later, my boss felt that I was very willing to share. I got into his car after finishing an Amway course, and he thought that if I could accept courses like Amway, it meant I had enough openness towards things, and I would definitely accept the cryptocurrency world or financial schemes.
My boss was doing financial schemes using the cryptocurrency world at that time. I had just graduated and didn’t know better. During meetings, I would carefully serve his clients.
Once, for business communication, my boss introduced us to Bitcoin and Ethereum for the first time. My eyes lit up. Ethereum fell from over 20 to 3, and market users were in despair, but then it began to rise to over 800 (I can't remember the exact details, but there may be some discrepancies). It was my first exposure to a trading platform, Yunbi. When I got home, I just Baidu to research how to deposit and withdraw money.
Unfortunately, in the second half of 2016 and 2017, I missed out on 20 million in my life. At that time, Yunbi had many coins that increased a thousandfold, like SC. I was almost in the top 100 holders on the entire network and got off the train at the right time.
The cryptocurrency world opened up my greedy heart, and from then on, I looked down on working days. I took a half-pyramid scheme course that cost about 80,000, how could someone earning 3,500 a month afford to take such a course?
Borrowing, credit cards, and online loans were my main issues. In the following years, I entered a hellish life of debt.
Borrowed 30,000, and within a year, paid back over 50,000 to Yiren Loan, which I remember vividly.
Later, the company that deceived me into thinking I could achieve various life results after completing courses went bankrupt, but many people, like me, were squeezed dry by this company, leading to bankruptcies and divorces, and young people like me ended up living in debt.
And during that course, I met a scumbag. In 2017, I was tricked by a scumbag into buying fake foreign exchange and lost over 100,000 along with a friend.
At this time, I no longer had the qualification to eat KFC.
After my university internship, I returned to my alma mater's graduation ceremony. Passing by KFC, I swallowed hard and said in a small group with my elders, 'I really want to eat KFC and indulge a bit.'
A big sister said she would give me 50 yuan to eat as much as I wanted, but I didn’t accept it.

Days without the qualification to eat KFC.
I borrowed 80,000 to go all in on EOS.
When I was deeply in debt and very desperate, in 2017, during the big bull market of cryptocurrencies, after experiencing the 94 turmoil, many coins rose hundreds or thousands of times. My EOS on the exchange turned into ten times the profit, amounting to several tens of thousands. This opened my eyes.
Borrowing money and seeing through the people around me.
At that time, everyone praised me, saying that I had great potential and worked hard. When I went to borrow money, suddenly a very gentle big sister turned into a tiger. She said she couldn't hear me in KTV, and didn't have money to lend me, and told me to borrow from someone else. She had said before that she sometimes felt sorry for me and wanted to throw 5,000 at me. This sudden change made me feel a bit, sigh, let’s not talk about it.
I decided to borrow 80,000 online.
I found a young person online who was very proactive in lending to me, and he could take a cut of the interest.
Fortunately, there was a big brother who was a regional representative and ambassador for China ICP. I referred to him as my senior brother. After he met me in Nanjing, he directly gave me 50,000 and told me not to borrow money.
He is from Shandong, and I still remember his kindness, but later I was still very poor. I participated in the Ethereum private placement with him, and the ICP has not issued tokens. After years of bear market, my senior brother also ran out of money and asked me for money. At that time, I seemed to have just gotten pregnant, burdened with debt, and had no money to pay him back. I really feel sorry for my big brother.
Until ICP was issued, after deducting the part from the private placement, it offset 50,000 of my debt. However, my big brother was also deeply hurt and we lost contact from then on.
So my first bucket of gold was ICP.
But I still hadn't paid off my debts.
In the meantime, in 2018, I attended the EOS conference hosted by Wang Tuan Zhang at the Nanjing Youth Olympics, which gave birth to the famous cryptocurrency three-wave theory meeting. I decided to go all in on EOS.
Under my encouragement, my ex-boyfriend borrowed 300,000 to invest in the cryptocurrency world.
Since then, the cryptocurrency world has gained a pair of star-crossed lovers.
When I lost money, my relationship also developed cracks, and later we broke up.
Four, again having the qualification to eat KFC.
In debt of over 300,000, I went to Shanghai to strike gold.
I carried foot-soaking water for a year.
That year was when I learned the most intensively. I took the subway every day to listen to Teacher Ni Haixia's traditional Chinese medicine course.
At that time, I spent over 4 hours commuting to and from work every day.
First, walk for more than ten minutes to take the light rail line 9, then transfer from line 9 to line 3, and then to line 1, and walk for more than ten minutes to the company.
It was very hard; on the road, I was watching Teacher Ni Haixia's traditional Chinese medicine course, remembering things like heaven remembers.
At that time, using headphones, I developed pimples in my ears.
For lunch, I would eat a family convenience meal or share with colleagues.
Once, the manager deliberately ate better food next to me, and I swallowed hard.
When I was in the store, the company was thriving, and I was too busy. The boss ordered takeout as a reward for us, very exquisite takeout. The boss was from Shanghai and was very particular.
There was an extra piece of cake, and the boss said, 'What should we do?'
The boss and another founder exchanged knowing smiles and said, 'Give it to someone; she definitely wants it.'
Guess what happened?
I accepted it, but I didn't want to eat that cake. At that time, I was very diligent in learning Buddhism and didn't want to waste food. I accepted it very nobly. 😊
But it also carries a bit of sadness.
Debt without a wedding.
Later, I secretly got married without telling my boss for fear of being fired. At that time, my salary was around 6,000, with five insurances and one fund, which I considered a good job. I had to use that money to pay off debts, and I didn't even take my five days of marriage leave.
With a debt of over 300,000, there was no natural wedding, and as I write this, I actually have tears; it was so hard back then, so poor that I didn’t even have money for a wedding.
Six months after the wedding, I got pregnant. While pregnant, I looked at patients' tongues, and I felt nauseous. I didn't even know I was pregnant. My hands were shaking as I carried the foot-soaking water for the clients, and the manager thought I was being pretentious.
At the most critical moment, my colleague went home pregnant. I was very dizzy every day taking the subway, almost fainted in the middle. I really couldn't tell my boss honestly that I was pregnant; he felt deceived.
When I returned to Nanjing, I was pushed out by the attendants in a wheelchair; the morning sickness was too severe.
When I found out I was pregnant, I cried. Over 300,000 in debt, how could I raise a child?
It was also this child who brought me good luck in the cryptocurrency world.
My opportunity for a comeback has arrived.
Five, the rabbit's opportunity for a comeback has come.
I got pregnant, so I couldn't go to work.
Back to the cryptocurrency world, by this time it had already undergone a change in dynasty, Yunbi had disappeared, and Binance, Huobi, and OKEx were thriving.
Poor my EOS, it could actually keep going down, so those who invested in EOS are just big fools. However, all the bad luck in my life has been used up holding EOS, and my life from now on will be full of good luck.
The bull market of Binance.
From the boom of Ethereum's DeFi to the boom of Tron, then to Huobi chain, and then to Binance chain.
I missed the previous rounds, but when I got to Binance chain, I had experience playing with meme coins.
In this round, I completely paid off my debts and accumulated assets worth more than A7.
Also because of past debts, I became very cautious. After having capital, I never dared to play recklessly again.
From then on, I had the qualification to eat KFC freely.
However, I reached 30 years old, my body was not good anymore, I started dieting, and continued to watch my baby eat, swallowing my saliva. 😂😂😂
