When Tang Xiaoxiao returned home that evening, she took out her phone and was shocked to find that He Haisheng had added her to a group chat. The name of the group made her eyes twitch slightly.
"A good-for-nothing rich kid who just wants to live off his family"...
What kind of weirdos are they?
The group messages kept flashing. Tang Xiaoxiao clicked on them and scrolled to the front to find that He Haisheng had tagged her and said in the group, "This is my boss. You all have to call him boss from now on, okay?" Then a series of question marks followed.
She didn't reply for a long time, and He Haisheng probably guessed that she hadn't checked her phone. So he went on to brag in the group about how he was completely crushed by Tang Xiaoxiao in terms of strength and how he was convinced and willing to bow down and call her his brother. This guy didn't feel ashamed at all, but instead revealed a bit of smugness.
When Tang Xiaoxiao saw this, she raised her hand to her forehead, completely at a loss for words to describe this simpleton.
Although everyone was surprised and curious, since Tang Xiaoxiao, the person in question, had not yet appeared, the conversation gradually shifted to other topics.
There were only eight people in the group, including Tang Xiaoxiao. When Tang Xiaoxiao opened the group, the latest message was from someone named Li Mu:
"Let's get together this weekend. Lao Bai just got a new college student girlfriend, right? Bring her over so we can all meet her."
Then a man named Bai Siming said, "What girlfriend? She just came to us on her own. We'll just play around with her. If you want to see her, I'll bring her over."
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't care to read what was next, so she simply muted the group messages and closed the chat window.
Judging from the name of the penguin group and their conversation, she could roughly guess that these people were probably second or third generation heirs of wealthy families. She didn't want to have anything to do with them, not because she was disgusted or repulsed, but because she felt that they were from two different worlds and their paths were different.
Whether they are ignorant or cynical, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to comment on it.
Some people may think that these rich kids born with a silver spoon in their mouths are just relying on being born into a better family than others, but in Tang Xiaoxiao's opinion, being born into a better family is also an advantage. No matter how envious ordinary people are, they have to admit that they are already standing on the finish line that many people can't reach even after a lifetime of hard work.
As long as they don't abuse their power and break the law, Tang Xiaoxiao doesn't have any ill feelings towards these rich kids. As for the indifference towards women revealed in the words of Bai Siming in the group just now, she had seen too many scumbags in her previous life. Compared to them, these rich kids using money to buy gold-digging women's advances, a consensual monetary transaction, is more upright than some poor losers who exploit girls in the name of love.
In short, she was born into a different environment and group of people. She didn't hate these arrogant rich kids who didn't know the hardships of life, but she didn't want to have anything to do with them either.
The next day, Tang Xiaoxiao accompanied Tang Xinxin to the beauty supplies wholesale market and bought all the supplies needed for the nail salon. The store she chose was quite famous in the industry, and there were nail training courses on the second floor, which were taught for free to customers who wanted to improve their skills. The trends in the beauty industry are always changing, and the store will regularly launch new products and styles according to market demand. When the time comes, they can just send their nail technicians over to learn.
Everything went smoothly. After the nail salon area was set up, Tang Xinxin posted a job advertisement for nail technicians on the shop door. Soon, people came to apply. Finally, with Tang Xiaoxiao's help, two girls in their twenties were selected. They were both good-looking, and more importantly, they were skilled, efficient, and had sweet tongues.
During the first week of opening, the nail salon area offered a 40% discount and free hand care, and customers started coming in very quickly.
With her sister no longer needing her attention, Tang Xiaoxiao focused on her own affairs, spending her days online trying to bump into Han Yunqi and create opportunities for the two of them to spend time together. Every few days, she would go to the He family to get a beating. Time flew by, and soon it was April.
That day, after Tang Xiaoxiao finished her training with Gao Yong, she asked him for leave, saying that she had some business to attend to in the south and probably wouldn't be back for at least two weeks. Gao Yong nodded in agreement and then said, "Actually, you don't need to come anymore. I've taught you almost everything I can. Now you're good enough to take on three or five strong men. The rest mainly depends on your own practice on a regular basis. Don't slack off."
Tang smiled and said, "Alright, Master, you've gone to a lot of trouble these past few days. But even if I don't need your guidance anymore, I'll still come to bother you often. You've helped me so much, so please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future."
Gao Yong reached out and patted her shoulder, nodded, and said nothing more. He had always been taciturn, and Tang Xiaoxiao didn't think much of it.
Just remember his kindness.
After returning home and quickly packing her luggage, Tang Xiaoxiao informed her parents before boarding a pre-booked flight to her first destination.
For the next two weeks, Tang Xiaoxiao flew across most of China, visiting Guilin, famous for its beautiful scenery, the mysterious Xiangxi region, and Lushan, which has inspired countless poems and songs since ancient times... In her previous life, she was in poor health and suffered from motion sickness, and her financial situation did not allow it. This was the first time she had traveled far without any burdens, doing whatever she wanted without any worries. The wonderful experience was self-evident.
She wasn't particularly interested in the breathtaking natural scenery, but rather in the local customs, culture, and cuisine. As she walked, she collected various plants, including flowers, trees, tropical fruits, and vegetables, adding hundreds of different kinds to her space.
On her return journey, she also made a detour to the Greater Khingan Mountains, located in the northernmost part of China. This beautiful and mysterious land is home to countless legends. Relying on her skills and daring, Tang Xiaoxiao ventured deep into the primeval forest and stayed for three whole days. At night, she hid in her space to rest, and during the day, she traversed the jungle, transplanting some unfamiliar plants into her space. During this time, she encountered many small animals, but she did not disturb them. However, on the evening of the third day, she narrowly encountered a brown bear. The brown bear, when standing upright, was more than two meters tall. When Tang Xiaoxiao spotted it, she was only about five meters away from it. Without thinking twice, she decisively slipped into her space.
