Chapter 108 Taking Responsibility for Your Life



After leaving the school, Yuan Mengge and the other person walked back the way they came.

"We'll go to the post office in a bit, and you can open a savings account. I'll transfer your living expenses to you. You don't need to worry about anything for the next six months. I'll lend you the money you need during this time," Yuan Mengge told her as they walked, outlining their future plans.

"You're lending me money again... Ah Ping, you remind me of my mom..." Li Xue'e turned to look at her when she heard that she wanted to lend her money again, then said, and continued, "Even my own mother probably wouldn't give me this much money..."

“I’m asking you to pay this back. If it were your mother, she wouldn’t make you pay it back,” Yuan Mengge added.

The two then went to a nearby post office. Li Xue'e had her own ID card, and Yuan Mengge had her household registration booklet, so they opened an account together and got a bank card.

When Yuan Mengge got her card, the system directly deposited her bonus into the card.

My account suddenly had an extra 900,000.

At that time, ATMs were not common in small cities, but could be found in big cities.

Although the provincial capital where Yuan Mengge and her friends are currently located is a provincial capital, compared to the neighboring economic powerhouse, Qiong Province is still just a baby.

The provincial capital's economy is not very developed yet, and you can only find ATMs in the city center.

After Yuan Mengge got the card, she immediately transferred two thousand yuan to Li Xue'e.

It wasn't that she didn't want to give more, but she was afraid that Li Xue'e would refuse if she gave too much.

Two thousand is enough for her to live on for half a year, and more than enough.

Even if it was two thousand, Li Xue'e stared at her with wide eyes, looking as if she wanted to return the money to her.

She had to persuade me a lot before I finally accepted it.

The two then went to a nearby market to buy various things that Li Xue'e needed.

I bought her several sets of training clothes, casual clothes, and shoes.

She was provided with everything she needed, including blankets, a bucket, toiletries, and other hygiene products.

Li Xue'e followed behind her, not knowing what she should buy, so Yuan Mengge bought everything for her.

Yuan Mengge bought several sets herself and then bought a suitcase to pack them.

Then we went to the hotel that Yuan Mengge had mentioned before and stayed there for two days.

After resting in their hotel room for two hours, they slept until after 5 p.m., and then went out for a meal.

“Let’s go to Wenlan tomorrow,” Yuan Mengge suddenly said to Li Xue’e during dinner.

Li Xue'e was taken aback: "Huh? Going to Wenlan? Aren't you waiting for Teacher Liang?"

Yuan Mengge said, "I'm going to invest in a business, and I'll be back this afternoon. We'll leave a message for the hotel owner tomorrow, asking him to come again tonight if Teacher Liang really comes looking for us."

"Investing in a business? What do you want to invest in?" Li Xue'e asked curiously when she heard her say that.

Yuan Mengge said, "It will become one of the two major specialty food brands in this province in the future."

By this time, they had already missed the peak development period of the Coconut Palm Group in the beverage industry. Now, Coconut Palm is a top 500 enterprise in China.

However, the other two brands that will sell well in the future—coconut powder, coconut sugar, and coconut milk coffee—are only just beginning.

Moreover, at this stage, it is precisely the time when a certain boss is looking for partners to start a company.

The early stages of starting a business are usually tough and involve a lack of money.

Now is the perfect time to invest.

Then she can just sit back and wait eight or ten years, and become a controlling director (a hands-off manager).

Li Xue'e looked at her with some confusion: "The future?"

Yuan Mengge: "It's hard to explain, we'll find out when we get there. I don't even know if we'll be able to find them..."

Li Xue'e: "...???"

While eating, Yuan Mengge wondered where to find the stone after she finished eating.

Today I only completed the running task; I haven't finished the weightlifting yet.

It's quite difficult to find a stone weighing over 20 kilograms in the city; you'd have to go to construction sites or some places in the suburbs.

But not checking in would mean wasting today's reward.

There aren't any fitness equipment stores or gyms on this street.

After dinner, Yuan Mengge and Li Xue'e strolled around the streets, planning to take a walk in the park and then visit the night market.

"You said Teacher Liang is going to train me, where is he going to train me?" Li Xue'e asked Yuan Mengge with some curiosity.

Yuan Mengge said, "Well, wherever he takes you, just go with him. Don't worry, he won't sell you out."

Li Xue'e: "..."

If she hadn't paid more than the money the traffickers had paid her, she would have really suspected that Yuan Mengge was trying to sell her to that man.

But I've never seen anyone sell someone to human traffickers and then pay them money.

Yuan Mengge suddenly said to her again, "By the way, if anyone gives you money for no reason and then asks you to do something or take you somewhere, don't listen to them. Apart from me, those people are all bad people."

When Li Xue'e heard her words and looked at her, she felt conflicted.

Yuan Mengge added, "Don't trust others too easily. If you can do that, you won't suffer losses."

Li Xue'e looked at her and asked, "Then should I trust you? I didn't know you well before I married into your family."

Yuan Mengge nodded: "You can doubt me, that's right. I helped you to get revenge on my brother, you understand that, right? Although I used you, I got you out of my house, so I have to take responsibility for your future. This is my compensation to you, understand?"

Li Xue'e nodded: "...So that's why."

Yuan Mengge looked at her and said, "Otherwise, why would I be so good to you, right?"

The two strolled to a nearby park, where Yuan Mengge looked around to see if there were any stones.

However, after looking around, I didn't find anything suitable.

There were only some small stones.

After strolling around for a while, the two came out and went to the night market street.

Although the provincial capital is not a brightly lit scene at night, there are still many shops that are open at night.

There will be a street dedicated to stalls, it will be very lively.

The two of them took a taxi from the park to the night market street, as it was still quite a distance.

Upon arriving at the night market street, the scene immediately became lively.

It has everything for eating, drinking, and entertainment, as well as various shops selling clothes, shoes, and small trinkets.

Moreover, this place is much larger than the one in the county town, and it has all sorts of strange and unusual stalls.

Shopping at the night market here is like browsing Taobao; it's very interesting.

The two strolled around for a while. It was Li Xue'e's first time visiting such a large night market, and she was very enthusiastic, wishing she had an extra pair of eyes.

Just as they finished strolling around and reached the end of the night market street, preparing to turn back...

Suddenly, I heard a dog barking and a noisy commotion coming from the other side.

[Ding—Task detected. Targets A, B, and C: habitual dog thieves with 198 instances of stealing domestic dogs and 157 instances of capturing and selling stray dogs.]

It was estimated that ten minutes later, the elderly man would be discovered stealing his dog, and the man would die during the struggle.
