"When you mentioned the speech under the national flag, I remembered. Speaking of which, I've been scrolling through Douyin every day but I've never seen any of your live streams. Is that reasonable?"
"You never browse local searches, do you?"
"It seems so. I just browse recommendations, I don't even look at what I follow, it's all about chance when I come across something."
"That's incredible! I heard your company went bankrupt. Want to come join us? You're a natural-born livestreaming genius, you can make a living off your looks. Just look at the bunch of perverts in my livestream room."
"Forget it, I don't have that plan right now. Besides, everyone already knows my company went bankrupt, right?"
"What do you think? Don't you know the power of that intelligence station?"
"That's true."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Zhi brought over a table. Jiang Yue lent a hand, and soon the table was piled high with tea, melon seeds, peanuts, and tangerines. Even though it was just a casual chat, the number of viewers and gifts in Li Juan's live stream were much higher than usual.
While they were chatting, Li Juan received a large gift: "Thank you, Northeast Hai... Brother Hai, why did you send me this gift?"
"Let's connect live? Let's do it."
"Brother Hai? Can you hear me, Brother Hai?"
"I can hear what you were saying about me to others. A bunch of people came over and asked me what I said in my speech under the national flag? You're not making this up, are you?"
"No, I just came to Jiang Yue's house and we started talking about you. I just reminded her about the speech under the national flag."
"Oh, I thought something was wrong. Anyway, I'll stop here for now. I'm still doing some live-streaming sales. I'll invite Jiang Yue over later. That's all for now, bye."
Around noon, Jiang's father came back to cook. Li Juan said goodbye and went home, promising to come over and play with her after she finished watching her live stream. Since she was live streaming, she didn't use Jiang Yue's gift and left gracefully.
After everyone left, the two cleaned up the sunflower seed shells left over from eating sunflower seeds, tidied the house, and then helped Jiang's father cook. They went back to the house to check if her financial office had obtained all the necessary permits.
Since she decided not to go to work, she needed to have something to do at home, so she learned something new. This was what she had been learning all her life. She had the necessary certificates and skills, and with Bai Ze around, she wasn't lacking in clients. Plus, with Bai Ze around, he could find out whether the other party was breaking the law or not, so she didn't have to do anything herself and could just wait to collect the money.
"Dinner's ready! Xiao Zhi, go take your mom's food!"
"good."
After delivering the food to Jiang's mother, the three family members began to eat. Jiang's father's cooking was particularly delicious; it was one of his few specialties, and not a single bite was left. After finishing their meal, Jiang Yue went back to her room to exercise, as she had a feeling she would break through her limits in a few days.
...
With one day left before the next mission, Jiang Yue finally broke through her cultivation technique. She broke out in a sweat, which was tinged with blood, and her body smelled terrible. She had eaten a lot of grains and cereals in her life, and had accumulated a lot of impurities.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue made her breakthrough in the bathroom, which she had anticipated and deliberately chose. Now she can simply turn on the hot water and start taking a shower.
During this time, Xiao Zhi came over and knocked on the door, asking why she hadn't finished washing yet and that she was about to burst. Jiang Yue told him to go to her grandfather's house next door, as she would need some time and the smell wouldn't dissipate anytime soon.
After taking a shower, Jiang Yue looked in the mirror and exclaimed, "Wow, my skin and appearance are amazing! It's like I've evolved compared to before. My looks haven't changed much, but I'm much more refined now. I won't need to use any more cosmetics anymore!"
After coming out of the bathroom, Jiang Yue changed into a big floral cotton-padded jacket. Even the big floral jacket couldn't hide her good looks. Fortunately, her appearance had been gradually improving over the past few days, otherwise her parents would have been terrified. Thinking of this, Jiang Yue took out a hairdressing kit and cut her hair short, so that she could attribute the change to her new hairstyle.
When Jiang Zhi returned, Jiang Yue had already finished cutting her hair. He had just entered the room while she was sweeping the floor. He paused when he saw Jiang Yue, closed the door, and then opened it again. He quickly ran over, muttering, "What's going on? Did you change people after taking a shower? What kind of monster are you? Hand over my sister!"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes and ignored him. He took out his phone and started snapping photos. A moment later, Jiang Yue's phone vibrated. It seemed that he had sent the photos to the family group chat and then sent out a series of exaggerated voice messages.
He only came to his senses after Jiang Yue finished cleaning the floor. He ran to Jiang Yue's side and gave her a fawning smile: "Sister, do you think your dear brother's hair has grown long? Can you give me some?"
"Why did you get a buzz cut?!"
"I just wanted to look better!"
"Okay, go and empty this. I'll make you one when you get back."
After saying that, the person ran out. Jiang Yue cleaned up the scissors. Speaking of which, it was Jiang's mother who bought them. She bought them because they were cheap. Although the quality wasn't very good, they were fine to use a few times.
When Jiang Zhi returned, Jiang Yue told him to wash his hair and asked Bai Ze to design some hairstyles for him, letting him choose the best one. However, since he couldn't explain, Jiang Yue had to choose for him. In the end, Jiang Yue chose one that she thought looked good, and it matched his new clothes for the New Year quite well.
After her younger brother finished washing his hair, Jiang Yue took out her phone to record it and planned to post it on Douyin later. Although she didn't do a live stream, she still had a Douyin account.
After getting a haircut, he found his new clothes and changed into them. A handsome young man appeared. Jiang Yue took some photos of him and posted them in the group chat. He couldn't wait to send them to his classmate Xiao Mei, so he forgot all about sweeping the floor.
With no other option, Jiang Yue had to clean it herself. Halfway there, her mother returned. As her own mother, she was surprised to see Jiang Yue and pinched her cheek, saying incredulously, "What happened? Your short hair looked so ugly when you were in high school, how come you look so good now?"
"I've become prettier."
Normally, Jiang's mother would have called her too narcissistic, but today she really couldn't bring herself to say it. She actually looked quite good. After turning around a few times and looking at herself, she took out her phone and snapped a few photos: "I'll take some photos to use when I go on blind dates later."
"Did you do your own hair?"
"Um."
When did you learn this?
"After starting work, haircuts looked terrible, so I watched short videos to figure out how to cut my hair."
"Mom, your hair has grown long, do you want me to get it cut?"
Jiang's mother touched her hair, feeling a little tempted. She and Jiang's father were both good-looking, but they didn't usually dress up much, and their hair was always short.
"How about we get one?"
"Hehe, Mom, go wash your hair. I'll go find you some clothes to wear after you get your hair cut. We'll give Dad a surprise later."
While Jiang's mother was washing her hair, Jiang Yue found the clothes her mother had worn for the New Year. The clothes were not easy to match, but fortunately, Jiang Yue's figure was similar to her mother's, so she finally found an outfit to match.
