Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Evergreen Liquid's reputation in Yuzhou City had grown immensely, and Hui Province TV covered it every day. It had become one of the most renowned companies in Yuzhou, even in Hui Province, and the whole country, with its products reaching international markets

Moreover, the company offered exceptionally good benefits, including meals and housing allowances.

Zhang Chi lifted a ban: "Is the salary high?"

Lu Qiqi said, "Over eight thousand, mostly because the benefits are comprehensive."

Other students had no idea what that salary meant, but Duan Shigang, who had worked in factories, knew that eight thousand was a high figure. Many of the junior leaders in their factory didn't earn that much.

He asked, "Does your cousin have a partner?"

Lu Qiqi replied, "No, my uncle said she'll definitely marry a rich man in the future."

Zhang Chi said, "Rich people are no good, heartless!"

Wang Longlong asked, "Brother Chi, honestly, do you want to be rich?"

Zhang Chi responded, "Of course, I do."

Lu Qiqi was proud of her cousin and explained: "My cousin said she'll only marry a man who's tall, handsome, humorous, stable in nature, and treats her like a child, otherwise, she won't marry."

Guo Kun Nan sighed when he saw the selection criteria of Lu Qiqi's cousin: "Ah!"

Hu Jun asked, "Brother Nan, why the sigh out of nowhere?"

Guo Kunnan replied, "Finding a partner is just too hard!"

Hu Jun comforted, "Brother Nan, I advise you…"

Guo Kunnan, recalling Hu Jun's preference for older widows, shivered internally: "Don't advise me."

Hu Jun sincerely comforted, "Even though people are harsh these days, I believe you'll eventually meet someone who doesn't care if you're tall, handsome, or rich..."

Lu Qiqi interjected, "Nor if you're you (laughs)."

…

In the afternoon, due to some reasons, Jiang Ning didn't go out, which let Xue Yuantong down. He headed back to bed to sleep soundly.

Jiang Ning went to the door to watch the sunset. Aunt Gu, having finished working on shoes, came over with a check and paused for two seconds.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning suddenly thought of something funny, like Aunt Gu sternly throwing out a check, "This is five million, take it and leave my daughter immediately..."

But Aunt Gu spoke in a negotiative tone, gently saying, "Today is Tongtong's birthday, I purposely didn't tell her. She probably forgot herself. This is a cake coupon from Mrs. Zhu's cake shop on the west side of the Lanma Shopping Square. Can you help me fetch it from town?"

"I'll cook some dishes at home tonight to celebrate Tongtong's birthday."

Jiang Ning nodded, "Sure, I'll take her to get it."

Aunt Gu smiled, having felt somewhat in debt to her daughter, working in a restaurant and experiencing many city folks booking private rooms for their children's birthdays.

Unfortunately, if she had the money, she would wish to give her daughter a proper birthday party as well.

Now that their home situation was improving, Aunt Gu planned to celebrate every birthday for her daughter grandly.

…

"Let's get going!" Xue Yuantong sat on the electric bike, patting the seat.

Jiang Ning twisted the handle, and the electric bike darted out like a runaway horse.

Xue Yuantong almost fell off.

Compared to the slowly accelerating mountain bike, the electric bike was ferocious. She thought that she needed to change her mindset about riding, otherwise, she might fall off and lose her dignity.

Jiang Ning headed to Lanma Shopping Mall. During summer evenings, the urban area was not any less crowded, in fact, it was more so.

The electric bike raced at 60 km/h, faster than the cars in the urban area.

Passing by a platform, Xue Yuantong looked at a bus and thought, if Jiang Ning kept speeding like this, they could even ride the electric bike back to their hometown.

After all, the electric bike had a range of 80 kilometers!

Passing another bus stop, Jiang Ning slowed down. Yu Wen was waiting for a bus at the station ahead.

Although they weren't very close, being classmates who had climbed Taishan together last time made their relationship more sincere compared to the complex interpersonal relationships in society.

Jiang Ning thought it felt like meeting a familiar classmate years after graduation, a heartfelt interaction among classmates.

Yu Wen was playing with her phone, occasionally looking up for the bus.

At that moment, under the twilight, a flashy electric bike with titanium gray color and lines fierce like a Transformer, stopped in front of her.

Yu Wen was dazzled.

Xue Yuantong greeted: "Yu Wen!"

Yu Wen hesitantly responded: "Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong, huh!"

Jiang Ning asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yu Wen replied, "I'm hanging out with Qing E."

"Oh, we're heading off." Jiang Ning started the electric bike, and with a flash of light and a whoosh, it disappeared.

In Yu Wen's view, the electric bike seemed like a colorful somersault cloud, vanishing with a sharp turn.

"Damn, so cool."

She, a girl, thought the electric scooter was really cool.

It was a lie to say she wasn't envious as she miserably waited for the bus here, which was agonizingly slow.

After another five minutes, a cumbersome bus finally arrived late.

Yu Wen boarded the bus, the driver glanced at her, Yu Wen was about to insert coins, then touched her pocket, and realized she had no coins.

The driver watched her, the passengers in the front watched her, and those behind also watched her.

Yu Wen's face heated up as she frantically searched her other pockets, searching and searching, but still couldn't find any!

At that moment, she imagined impatience in the driver's eyes.

Just as Yu Wen was in a dilemma, a hand reached out beside her and dropped two coins into the box, a male voice pronounced, "For two."

Yu Wen was ecstatic inside and hurriedly turned around to say thanks, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

Then, she saw the young man who had put in the coins giving her a puzzling look, boarding the bus with his mom.

Yu Wen: "?"

...

In a high-end community in Yuzhou.

Dong Qingfeng's hair was combed like an adult's, he wore a suit and donned black-frame, lensless glasses.

He too rode a small electric stove with a young sister sitting behind.

Now, Dong Qingfeng was no longer a high school student; he was a real estate salesperson.

To make a bet with Cui Yu, Dong Qingfeng approached his parents, stating that he was ready to be self-sufficient and earn a living.

His parents, who had worked in Yuzhou City for many years and were well-connected, put in a word for him and got him a job at a real estate agency.

With the boss's favor and care, Dong Qingfeng successfully rented out an apartment in the afternoon.

The real estate agency in Yuzhou City was pretty shady; the company rule was that the tenant bore the cost of one month's rent in full.

The apartment Dong Qingfeng rented was quite high-end, with a monthly rent of 1800. The boss was very pleased and decided not to deduct anything, so Dong Qingfeng easily received the complete agency fee for one month.

Now he was taking a quality client to see an apartment in the community.

This young lady had just gotten off work, hence the delay, and upon seeing the young and handsome Dong Qingfeng, she didn't hesitate and hopped on his little electric scooter.

Dong Qingfeng rode leisurely, suddenly, a cool electric scooter caught up from behind and moved alongside him.

Jiang Ning honked the horn.

Dong Qingfeng prepared to yield and turned his head to see it was Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong, along with that flashy, cool electric scooter.

Compared to them, Dong Qingfeng's little electric donkey was like a firefly next to the bright moon.

He awkwardly greeted them, "Jiang Ning..."

Jiang Ning nodded and zoomed off.

Dong Qingfeng thought to himself, 'Once I make money, I will definitely buy one.'

Soon, Dong Qingfeng reached the entrance of the community, parked his electric scooter, and elegantly offered a tissue:

"Sister, you've worked hard, it's hot, wipe your sweat."

"Have some water, room temperature," he maintained quality service for attractive female customers.

"Little brother is so warm," the female customer laughed happily.

Dong Qingfeng, with a smile on his face, entered the community, which was quite high-end with monthly rents as high as 2000.

The security guard at the gate was indeed very diligent; when Dong Qingfeng declared his role, the guard, disliking that he was a real estate agent, refused him entry.

"It's the rule, it's the rule," the guard said, indifferent as a pig to scalding water.

Dong Qingfeng persisted, "The owner said to let me show the apartment."

The guard said, "It's too late now, our community rules, no non-owners at night."

Dong Qingfeng got angry, he showed his elevator card: "I am an owner right now, I can swipe this."

Guard: "No, you're not."

Dong Qingfeng was exasperated. Was it really that difficult?

He had never been humiliated like this! He immediately argued with the guard, but no matter what, he was still not let in.

Dong Qingfeng's mind gradually cleared, he realized that he was no longer a student, but a social person.

After calming down, he turned to look at the young female client beside him.

She awkwardly stood in place.

'Great, this deal might fall through!'

Dong Qingfeng's mind raced, and seizing the opportunity out of the crisis, he cheerfully said:

"Sister, look how responsible the community security is. As a single woman, you really don't need to worry about safety."
