A Million Dollars a Day, Refusing to Get Caught Up in a Hometown Slump

After being laid off by a major internet company in his prime, Li Zhendong finds himself bound to an account with a daily deposit of one million dollars. However, his newfound wealth cannot be spent in his hometown, where the cost of living is surprisingly low. Upon his return to his hometown, Li is astonished by the stark contrast between his new life and the humble reality of his childhood. He discovers that even a taxi ride starts at just five yuan, and old cars are more common than people of his age. A bowl of beef noodle soup costs only seven yuan, though the portion is generous, but the flavor is unimpressive. Even the most expensive homes in the area have a price per square meter that does not exceed three thousand yuan, with a security guard standing watch at the entrance.
