Chapter 21 If Cultivating Mortal Dreams



"Should we sign a contract? Will the salary be paid monthly or daily? Should we sign it with you or with our parents?"

No wonder she's the daughter of an economics professor; there's no way to fool her.

"Isn't it unnecessary to sign a contract?"

Ning Bufan whispered from the side.

"Be careful, Bufan. Those who trick you are usually the people you trust most. Otherwise, how could a stranger possibly fool someone as smart as you?"

Ning Bufan: "......"

Xu Xiu: "......"

Xu Xiu felt that this conversation was going to fall apart. If he had started a business with Wang Mengqi in his previous life, he would have been swindled out of everything.

Wang Mengqi was delighted to see Xu Xiu looking so defeated. After all, he had bullied Ruoyan before, and now he had the chance to get his revenge.

However, Wang Mengqi is not someone who lacks sense of propriety; she knows when to stop.

He immediately changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you have any specific plans?"

Xu Xiu did not answer Wang Mengqi's question, but instead asked her, "Mengqi, since you are so familiar with business, why do you want to go to Normal University?"

"Shouldn't you have chosen something like economics or finance?"

"Teaching and nurturing students is my dream, and I don't like the smell of money. I'm content with just enough to eat and use."

"The royal army is unmoved by worldly affairs, and I admire it greatly."

Xu Xiu quickly offered his compliments.

Xiao Ruoyan and Ning Bufan listened in stunned silence.

Xu Xiu then laid out his entire plan, leaving the three of them stunned and confused by many parts.

Wang Mengqi was a little better as she had some basic knowledge, but the other two were completely confused.

Looking at the two bewildered faces, Xu Xiu smiled and said, "You don't need to understand, just do as I say."

Over the next few days, the four of them had a clear division of labor. Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi registered accounts on various social media platforms, naming them "Ruo Xiu Fan Meng".

When it came time to choose a name, everyone said that combining everyone's names was too tacky, but Xu Xiu said that the name had a deeper meaning.

The result was as expected by everyone.

Xu Xiu said, "The meaning of this name is that if I succeed in cultivating immortality, all your dreams as mortals can come true."

Wang Mengqi: "......"

Ning Bufan: "......"

"Xu... Xiu, can you really cultivate immortality?"

Xiao Ruoyan asked blankly.

Xu Xiu: "......"

Wang Mengqi: "......"

Ning Bufan: "......"

Looking at his silly and adorable appearance, Wang Meiqi couldn't help but explain:

"Xu Xiu means that once he succeeds in his business and becomes wealthy, we can help him fulfill our wishes."

"Oh...can that make my grandfather live forever?"

Xu Xiu: "......"

Wang Mengqi: "......"

Ning Bufan: "......"

Xiao Ruoyan's hometown is a remote mountain village, accessible only by a narrow road that is impassable by vehicles.

Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village work outside, and many of them are unwilling to come back even after they have earned money.

As a result, the village has become increasingly sparsely populated, consisting mostly of the elderly, women, and children. There is no internet in the village, and the television signal is very poor. In addition, the villagers are quite superstitious.

Zhang Aixiang always hoped that her daughter could go to study in a big city, and did not want her to stay in this remote mountain village for the rest of her life.

By sheer coincidence, the son of an old man in the village happened to be a leader in the Jincheng Education Bureau.

In order to give her daughter a better future, Zhang Aixiang gritted her teeth and sold everything in the house that she could sell or pawn, but she still couldn't raise enough money for tuition.

In the end, Grandpa had to take out all the money he had saved for his medical treatment to raise enough. The mother and daughter refused to accept it, but Grandpa said that he was an old man and he would die if he had to.

But his granddaughter is still young and only education can change her fate. He doesn't want his granddaughter to live in this godforsaken mountain forever.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruoyan had good grades in the high school entrance exam, and with connections, she was able to attend high school in Jincheng.

I attended junior high school in Shixian County, which happened to be Xu Xiu's hometown, which led to that encounter.

During junior high school, Xiao Ruoyan was not well-liked because she stayed at a relative's house and didn't send much money to the distant relative each month.

She also has to do a lot of housework every day, and she has to find her own way to get all her personal necessities.

So every day she helps her distant cousin clean her room, run errands, and do her homework, and in return, her cousin will share some of her allowance with her.

She usually eats at her cousin's house first, then it's her turn to eat. She eats the leftovers and then washes the dishes and cleans the table.

Because they didn't have money to buy clothes, they wore the same two outfits over and over, so their clothes became more and more worn out, unlike those at the village school.

In the county school, he naturally became the object of ridicule and teasing from his classmates.

Poverty itself is not terrible; what is terrible is the world's discrimination against the poor.

While Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan were registering accounts and getting familiar with the process, Xu Xiu took Xiao Ruoyan to get a haircut and buy clothes.

Xiao Ruoyan didn't know where she was going on the way, and Xu Xiu didn't say much either.

When Xu Xiu arrived at the mall, he found the hair salon where his mother got her hair done. The reason he came here was naturally because his mother had a membership card.

Xiao Ruoyan felt very uncomfortable in such a large shopping mall, feeling out of place. She went to the hair salon in the mall.

The doorman greeted her warmly as he opened the door, and Xiao Ruoyan quickly lowered her head and hid behind Xu Xiu.

Xu Xiu had no idea that Xiao Ruoyan would be nervous, as there were private rooms upstairs for VIP clients.

He took Xiao Ruoyan upstairs and, after taking out his card, the boss arranged for a director-level hairdresser to come over.

When Director Wang entered, he saw a handsome young man and... a young woman?

Xiao Ruoyan rarely cut her hair to save money. When her bangs grew long, she would just cut them with scissors, so her bangs looked like they had been gnawed by a rat.

Xu Xiu said directly, "Hello, could you design a hairstyle for my classmate?"

Director Wang put aside his doubts and began to observe Xiao Ruoyan's hair and face shape, but her hair was too long to see her face clearly.

Finally, having no other choice, he brushed his hair aside with his hand. When he saw that face, Director Wang was stunned, and then gave Xu Xiu a meaningful look.

Xiao Ruoyan was very nervous throughout the process. She was not used to strangers touching her hair. She had only ever had her hair cut a handful of times, and even when she did, she would go to a roadside shop.

The cheaper the better, I don't care about hairstyle at all.

Director Wang observed carefully for a moment, then asked Xu Xiu, "Should I cut your hair short?"

Xu Xiu had already brought his cell phone from home and showed it to Director Wang with a few pictures.

Director Wang picked one out and said, "This hair length is suitable for both styles and is easy to manage."

Xu Xiu glanced at it and said it was okay. In the end, it took 4-5 hours because he had to perm her hair. She didn't dye her hair. Xiao Ruoyan's hair was very black and beautiful.

Xu Xiu was able to keep going for the first half, but he fell asleep on the side towards the end, dreaming that someone was pushing him.

When he opened his eyes, it was as if he had returned to his past life, to the scene of his first meeting with Xiao Ruoyan at the club.

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!

Xu Xiu stared blankly for a while before snapping out of it. He quickly looked away and asked in a low voice, "Is it done?"

"Um!"

"Xu Xiu...how much money do you want?"

"Money? No money needed, this card is free."

Xu Xiu spoke without batting an eye.
