Chapter 87
◎The Demonic World in the Desert◎
#HappyNewYearFuyushanNanyushan#
[I knew I would see Fuyu Mountain trending on Weibo.]
Happy New Year! I had so much fun watching this. I'm looking forward to the big movie about the monster kindergarten! It's bound to be more exciting than what we saw.
[This is definitely trending! I'm so used to seeing celebrities' makeup and live performances trending at New Year's Eve concerts, but this time I finally saw something different.]
[There's also a live broadcast going on at Nanyu Mountain! Have you guys watched it?]
[I watched it, and Jiujiu even had a video call with them. I felt like both Teacher Shui and Teacher Qilin really wanted her to go back, hahaha.]
I really want to see Jiujiu in the same frame with all of them. It feels like something is missing if we can only connect online.
But what about the people in the other two mountainous areas? Isn't Jiujiu also going to help alleviate poverty? Why don't I see any connections?
[Could it be because the people there don’t know how to live stream yet? ]
[I understand why I don't, but after watching it for so long, I should understand a little bit. Connecting the lines shouldn't be a problem.]
Not only did the New Year's Eve activities in the mountains become a hot topic, but even the Monster Group had an entry among the many New Year's Eve stars.
#Yokai Group Lian Jiusi Lan#
[I've been really popular for a long time now, and I can even be on the trending searches at this time with so many big-name traffic! ]
[Does anyone know how much money they made from these peripherals and jewelry yesterday? ]
I saw the sales figures in the link to the livestream, and the sales of the peripherals are so insane. I never thought selling toys could be this popular.
Perhaps it was also because of the two brothers yesterday. Some people aren't buying toys, but rather a mindset, a yearning for Fuyu Mountain.
[And those pearls? I saw a lot of big jewelry brands were following Jiujiu's Weibo last night. They must be looking for collaboration.]
[Speaking of which, isn't the legal representative Si Lan? Why are you following Jiujiu? Doghead.jpg.]
[Si Lan instantly became a big boss that I couldn't reach.]
[Wake up, have you ever seen Si Lan's eyes move away from Jiujiu?]
[Please walk independently, Si Lan, and don't tie us down any longer! Unless you make an official announcement live!]
Lian Jiu was surprised to be noticed by many jewelry brands. At that time, she just wanted to use a few upper-class connections and live broadcasts to let some people with purchasing power know about pearls and buy them.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Su Caifeng had already smelled the scent of money. He now felt that Director Lian Jiu's financial luck was getting better and better. He leaned in and asked, "How is it?"
"They're all internationally renowned brands." Lian Jiu, though not familiar with the jewelry industry, often hears about well-known luxury brands. "In fact, there are certain benefits to working with them."
She said, "Although we produce pearls, we don't have the right talent or talents in the design field. The human world has more professional people and technology than us, and their sales methods and channels are more extensive than ours, which can save us a lot of trouble."
Besides, pearl production in the demon world is not difficult. These jewelers are competing to cooperate with each other and are all intending to raise prices, so they will not lose money at all.
"It's just..." Lian Jiu paused for a moment, "They all want to buy out our supply of pearls."
For such special pearls, buying them out can reduce the competitiveness of other companies at the same time.
Su Caifeng frowned, "But Nanyu Mountain produces so many pearls, it's actually unrealistic to buy them out. It would be a bit of a loss for the demon world."
"That's what I thought." Lian Jiu looked at the news from those jewelers for a long time, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Maybe we should try selling one type of pearl to another jeweler?"
"This not only ensures the competitiveness of each company, but also ensures a continuous supply of goods from Fuyushan." Su Caifeng thought this was a great idea. "And each company has its own channels and consumer groups! Yes! I think this will work!"
"Okay." Lian Jiu nodded and said to Pi Xiu, "Then I'll reply like this. I'll give them your contact information, and you can go and meet with the partners."
"I?"
For so long, Su Caifeng had never negotiated business on his own. It was always the director and Si Lan who would go out and negotiate, and he would be responsible for implementation and management of the demon world. Suddenly coming across this, he hesitated: "I've never tried this before."
"I've never tried this before." Lian Jiu encouraged him, "If I can do it, you can do it too."
I, a small kindergarten teacher, can do all these things well. He is a divine beast and now he has a better understanding of the human world. How could he not do it well?
"You've been managing all the businesses in the two demon realms very well these days," Lian Jiu said. "So you can try to go out on your own. You're a Pixiu, and no one is better at negotiating business than you."
No one could get any extra benefit from him.
Su Caifeng sat up straight unconsciously: "That's indeed true."
Who says being stingy is useless!
Lian Jiu smiled and said, "From now on, you should always have things that you can take the initiative to do."
Su Caifeng was startled and hurried to see Si Lan. Finding that he was in a good mood, he asked carefully, "Director, what do you mean by this? Are you going to ignore us from now on?"
Si Lan said coldly: "You are getting older and older. Does she have three heads and six arms?"
"Oh oh oh oh! Right, right! It's good that you don't leave." Su Caifeng patted his head and felt relieved. "You really haven't had any rest in this period of time. You've been running around here and there. Don't worry! I'll take care of this matter!"
"You all seem afraid I'll leave," Lian Jiu joked. "Even if my contract expires in two years and I really quit, we still have our phone number, don't we? We're still friends, so we can keep in touch."
"How can this be the same?"
Su Caifeng knew that saints were usually born with a mission, and if the mission was completed, they would seem to disappear.
So he was really scared just now.
I don’t know how this messed up way of heaven came up with such disgusting rules. Saints are not tools, so how can they be thrown away after use?
Si Lan went crazy after what the medicine beast did before, which shows that saints are still very important in his eyes.
If Director Lian Jiu really wanted to leave now, not only would the other demon gods be reluctant to let him go, but Si Lan might even go crazy again.
If you think about it from another perspective, Si Lan's madness is actually a disaster, so the saint has been saving him all along.
Su Caifeng naturally wouldn't tell her about the cause and effect. Since all the demon gods wanted the director to live without any burden, he couldn't be the one to blame. So he said solemnly, "In short, you have to understand that we all don't want you to go."
Although this was a fact he had already accepted in his heart, Lian Jiu couldn't help but feel happy: "Don't worry, I won't leave."
"But time is a bit tight." Lian Jiu said, getting back to business. "It's only about two months until the Chinese New Year. Si Lan and I will go to Shaoxian Mountain first. You can stay here and finish discussing these cooperations. Then come to us after you're done. Is that okay with you?"
"Of course!" Su Caifeng patted his chest, "I guarantee that the task will be completed."
"This isn't a mission," Lian Jiu said gently. "This is our joint effort. We've always been equal. There's no such thing as me assigning you a mission."
Su Caifeng was stunned for a moment and didn't quite understand what she meant.
Lian Jiu explained, "You will have to live for a long time in the future. You must always find your own initiative and value in one thing. I think it's time for your value to blossom on your own."
After a long while, Su Caifeng covered his mouth and said, "It's good to read a lot. It makes you talk a lot."
"..." Lian Jiu took the opportunity to strike back, "So when you're not surfing the internet, you can also read some books or go to night school. It would be nice to have a diploma by then."
Si Lan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly lost his nerve and added, "Go to night school by yourself."
Don't even think about asking her for extra lessons!
"Okay, okay." Su Caifeng nodded happily. "Don't worry. There are so many people in the human world offering me gifts. I will naturally show my strength and prove that the Lucky Pixiu is not just talk! I have made up my mind. I will study economics in the future."
Lian Jiu fully believed that he could do it: "Okay, then you do your best."
When talking about this matter in the evening, Jiang An and Yuan Qing were both lost in thought.
Now Director Long is in charge of the public security of the entire demon world in the human world. Si Lan has become the backbone of the entire demon group to check and balance the human top leaders. Qilin and Henshui on the Nanyu Mountain side are also in charge of the education and economy there respectively. Yu Chongming has always been Jiujiu's assistant and is now also a senior secretary on the Fuyu Mountain side.
Even Pixiu has to learn economics, and will be the core force of the monster group in the future.
There are only two of them. One either pretends to be a child in the big class following the live broadcast all day, or becomes an adult to bring those products from the mountains. The other follows behind Jiujiu and takes a big photo from time to time.
But there seems to be nothing else to do besides this.
Although they are all demon gods and have a share of the Monster Group's shares, they still feel that something is missing.
The two demon gods were very distressed, but Lian Jiu didn't think it was a big deal: "You are still young, there is no need to rush."
Yuan Qing muttered, "They're already thousands or tens of thousands of years old, how can they still be considered young?"
"But your knowledge is still very limited." Lian Jiu said with a smile, "You all look like teenagers."
After such a long time, Yuan Qing could have returned to his normal body shape long ago, and he was no more than two years older than Jiang An.
Lian Jiu asked, "Do you want to go to school?"
"No!" Yuan Qing shook his head without hesitation, "I've had enough of the big class!"
"Not kindergarten," Lian Jiu said, "high school and college."
"Going to school?" Jiang An thought, "Is it like the old school?"
"Well, now we need to divide it more finely." Lian Jiu had actually thought about this for a long time. She felt that if she didn't bring it up, based on the personalities of these two cats, they might really stay by her side for the rest of their lives, but she couldn't do that.
Then I came up with this idea: "After An An studies hard, he can take the high school entrance exam, and Yuan Qing can go to college."
"Other demon gods have jobs, so it's inconvenient for them to stay in school all the time, but you can," Lian Jiu said. "In school, you will learn and discover many things that I can't teach you, and you can also decide your own future life choices."
The main reason is that she feels these two are not mature enough.
Although he has lived for so long, his mind is no different from that of a student.
The two fell into deep thought.
This high school and university must not be in the demon world, so they must be in the human world?
Doesn’t that mean I have to leave An An?
Jiang An was the first to disagree: "No, I want to accompany you!"
"Can't you accompany me when you go to school?" Lian Jiu laughed. "When you come back from school, I'll still be at home, just like Si Lan goes out to work and comes back every day after get off work."
The word "home" made Jiang An feel much more at ease.
"An An." Lian Jiu held her hand and said softly, "Although you can only hear my voice when you wake up, you must understand that I am not the saint you must follow. You are an independent individual."
After a pause, she lowered her eyes: "Let's take a step back and say that I am that saint."
All the demon gods suddenly became nervous and looked at her at the same time.
Lian Jiu didn't seem to notice their nervousness and continued, "Even if I am, this is no longer the old days. We have always lived in peace and harmony, so you should find something to do for yourself."
"I hope you can be like other girls your age, happy and carefree," Lian Jiu said gently, "Because even if your appearance doesn't change in the future, you will see more things and understand more things. Then your state of mind will change, and you will never be able to go back to now."
Jiang An looked at her in confusion.
I am Bai Ze, and I have always been born to be a saint.
Saints are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and oneself is transformed by the saint's holy heart.
The saint gives back to heaven and earth with gratitude. Every time she disappears, the great love left in the world will accumulate little by little and finally become herself.
But now she said that she could leave her.
"It's not that I don't want you." Lian Jiu said, "I will always be with you, but you are not only Bai Ze, you are also Jiang An, do you understand?"
After a long time, Jiang An nodded in confusion: "I think I understand."
She glanced at Si Lan next to her and asked, "So, can I come back for dinner like him?"
Lian Jiu couldn't help laughing: "When you go to school, I will prepare breakfast for you in the morning, prepare lunch for you at noon, and come back to eat in the evening."
Jiang An's eyes lit up.
Si Lan didn’t even have a lunch box! He had to run back to eat it himself!
Does this prove that I am more important than him?
And in this case, it seems like I haven't been away for long!
So she happily agreed: "Okay!"
"But..." Yuan Qing raised his hand, "I heard that going to college means going to a very far place. Doesn't that mean I won't be able to come back?"
"You can choose a university anywhere, as long as your grades are good enough," Lian Jiu said. "And going to university far away isn't a bad idea. You haven't been to many places before, and you haven't traveled much yet. You have the opportunity to go out more. The world is actually very big. As for what you want to do for the mountains, you've already been doing it, and you'll have plenty of time in the future."
Isn't this just a trip on orders?
Yuan Qing still has a playful nature. He gets excited when he hears that he can go out and gain experience. He also wants to improve his knowledge. Who knows, he might become as good as Si Lan in the future.
Isn't it just that he has read a lot and has a lot of knowledge?
You can do it yourself!
By then, I might be able to sing songs and beat him up.
Yuan Qing finally asked, "So, are college and high school admissions easy? Is it like Si Lan used to do, reading some esoteric Chinese? That's so hard to understand."
"Don't look at that." Lian Jiu smiled softly: "It's okay, not too difficult."
The two demon gods, who could only read and could not be considered to have ever been educated, breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s okay, which means it shouldn’t be very difficult.
Si Lan snorted with an ambiguous tone.
After finishing his work at Fuyu Mountain, Lian Jiu started a new journey.
This time Su Caifeng stayed, and Yuan Qing and Jiang An followed him to Shaoxian Mountain. Before leaving, Lian Jiu specially took them to buy a lot of study materials.
Even when on a business trip, you can't fall behind in your studies.
The two demon gods casually opened one of the books and took a few glances at it.
The words above are not some obscure words that are difficult to understand. They are all plain words.
It seems that I haven't lied to them for a long time, and it's indeed okay!
Shaoxian Mountain is located in the heart of the northern desert.
The living environment in the desert is not very good, so it is no wonder that Ju Mang, the god of spring of all things, is needed here.
At the airport, Lian Jiu also saw the Spring God for the first time.
He was wearing a military coat, had green hair, was tall, thin, and clean. He was in his early twenties and looked like a gentle and polite young man.
At just one glance, he was wrapped tightly in his green military coat, revealing his green hair. Only his skin was fair. The scene was particularly eye-catching, but he was completely unaware of it.
When he saw Lian Jiu, he bowed politely and said, "Hello, Director."
"No need to be like this." Lian Jiu helped him up, "Just be natural."
"I've bought all the tickets." Ju Mang's pupils were dark, like the color of a celestial being, and shone with a gentle strength that was truly substantial. He pulled out his detailed schedule and said, "The bus leaves in half an hour and will arrive at the station in about four hours. Then we'll transfer to a small van for about an hour. I'll leave a few camels there. That way, we'll probably be back at Shaoxian Mountain by eight o'clock this evening."
At this time, Lian Jiu, who was used to drawing horses when he went out, suddenly reacted.
When I went to Nanyu Mountain before, the painted horses there were all given to Qilin by Si Lan.
But there is none here.
She asked, "How did you get here?"
Ju Mang smiled sheepishly: "Same thing, first I flew to the human world, then rode a camel, then took a van and a bus, and finally arrived at the airport. I got up at three in the morning!"
Lien Jiu: "..."
This process is really difficult.
