Huang Jue was marketed to in a magical way, but he always felt like something was not right.
“Forget it. I have that book at home too. I’ve kept it since I graduated.” He finally refused with great difficulty. After thinking about it, he said embarrassedly, “Besides, your sect’s VIP membership is too expensive. I just bought a house. I really can’t take out one million in a short time.”
Wei Xi’s heart was alarmed when he heard the first half of the sentence, and he became even more worried when he heard the second half. This was obviously a customer who intended to apply for a card, how could he let him go easily? Tuan Tuanyi had said that if a company wanted to succeed, customer retention was crucial.
He looked at Tuan Tuanyi, who was also a little anxious. After thinking for a while, he said, “Why don’t you apply for a regular membership card first?”
Huang Jue exclaimed, and glanced at Ruan Shixing: “Don’t you want one million?”
Tuan Tuanyi: “No, yours is a regular card, his is a gold card.”
Huang Jue looked a little confused: “Is there anything different?”
Tuan Tuanyi thought for a while, then answered hesitantly: “…If it’s a regular card, then I won’t give you the “Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxism”, right?”
He bought it wholesale for twenty-five yuan a copy.
Huang Jue: “…”
Ruan Shixing: “…”
….
Huang Jue was still in a daze as he got a membership card that Tuan Tuanyi had casually customized from a nearby printing shop.
Wei Xi said solemnly to his disciples: “Did you hear what he said? I think our card opening gift is not attractive enough.”
Tuan Tuanyi was worried and immediately suggested taking Wei Xi to the bookstore when they were free to pick out some books other than the university tutoring materials. Shuo Zong remained silent about this as his eyes suddenly fell on Shu Wanrong who was busying herself in the garden.
Shu Wanrong reluctantly sprinkled something into the mud – the soil in Wei Xi’s red cloth bag. The soil looked nothing special, it was dark, and it was unknown what use Wei Xi had for scattering it. Fortunately, the soil did not stain her hands, nor did it smell bad, but rather refreshing. However, she did not know if it was because of its high density, but the small bag was surprisingly heavy, causing her arms to ache.
She felt that she was really crazy for doing such an unglamorous thing. Wei Xi was obviously unwilling to leave, so the most urgent thing was to find a chance to persuade her husband who was very concerned about his reputation to move out with her and her son.
She sighed deeply, regretting her previous dissatisfaction. Although her stepson had made her wary of the ownership of the company’s property in the future, he was docile and loved to please her husband. Apart from being at odds with her, he had never really had a conflict with her in person. In front of him, she was the mistress of the family with a lot of say. But how could she become like this after returning from a trip? She held the heavy cloth bag in her hands, thinking about how she had been secretly happy because her stepson had done something ugly and angered her husband and ran away from home, but now she couldn’t help but feel that she was really too naive at the time.
Shu Wanrong really couldn’t imagine what her group of noble lady friends would think if they knew she looked like this, and her movements of scattering the dirt became more and more melancholy.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw someone approaching. She looked up and found that it was the exceptionally handsome new apprentice that her stepson brought home.
Shu Wanrong felt a little embarrassed by the pretty face: “What’s wrong?”
Unexpectedly, the other party ignored her completely and stared directly at the black mud in the small cloth bag in her hand. There was a very complicated expression in his sharp eyes. He reached out to pinch off a small handful and held it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
When Shuo Zong smelled the scent just now, he felt it was familiar. Now when he saw the real thing, he finally felt unbelievable. He carefully observed the loose soil between his fingers – it was actually spiritual soil!
The Heavenly Dao had collapsed! Countless natural treasures and Lingchuan Cave Mansions were annihilated at that moment. If that was the case, why was there still spiritual soil here?!
He looked at Wei Xi in surprise and doubt.
Wei Xi met his gaze, but just waved his hand without noticing anything: “Let’s go, there’s no need for you to get involved in the planting, Wanrong, finish your part before going out to play!”
Shu Wanrong: “…”’
….
Shu Wanrong was really furious. After spreading that little bit of mud, she was so tired that it felt like she had done three hours of yoga. After finally finishing the work, she hurriedly carried her platinum bag to reunite with her girlfriends.
The ladies who usually went shopping, played mahjong and had spa treatments with her had already gathered in the club. When they saw her, they laughed and scolded her for being late. Shu Wanrong sat down and smiled and said sorry that she was delayed by something at home.
Everyone didn’t think much about it and continued to flatter each other, praising one of the ladies for her new hairstyle. The lady didn’t seem happy when she was praised for her hairstyle. Instead, she sighed and stroked her hair and said, “I did this hairstyle because my hair is getting thinner and thinner. As I get older, my hair is falling out more and more. I want to make it fluffy so that it looks thicker. Alas, time is unforgiving.”
The ladies in the circle of wealthy women were indeed quite old. They were quite touched when they heard this. Someone immediately said, “Ah, you already look very young. Look at me. I wonder if you have reached menopause. My skin is getting looser and looser. Not to mention those expensive skin care products, even ultrasonic scalpels don’t work.”
“Yes.” The lady in front touched the corners of her drooping mouth and said worriedly, “I was recommended to get a water-light injection before, but my pores didn’t get any smaller. My skin is still dry. Even my makeup doesn’t stick well recently. I’m getting less and less sleep. I’m really getting old.”
Because of the recent troubles at home, Shu Wanrong was unable to quickly enter their topic. She listened absentmindedly and rubbed her fingers. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the hand that had spread the soil seemed more slippery.
Unexpectedly, with a scream and a sigh, a lady suddenly came closer, grabbed her rubbing hands, and shouted: “Wanrong, what’s wrong with your hands?”
Shu Wanrong came back to her senses after hearing this: “What’s wrong? What’s wrong with my hand?”
Her best friend looked at her like she had found a treasure, her eyes sparkling: “Did you change to a new hand mask recently? Or did you get some cosmetic surgery? How come the skin on your hands has suddenly become so fine?”
Shu Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then she followed the other person’s gaze and was immediately stunned. She saw that the hand that was held by the other person was indeed delicate, white, and full of luster.
She exclaimed in her heart: “No, I just apply hand cream.”
The other ladies came over to take a look and were also amazed. They didn’t believe her explanation. At this time, the first lady discovered something and grabbed her other hand with a suspicious look on her face: “Why is your left hand so dry?”
Everyone looked again and saw that Shu Wanrong’s left hand was indeed much darker than her right hand.
In fact, the left hand looked like the hand of an ordinary well-maintained and elderly woman, but compared with the exceptionally moist right hand, it immediately looked like it had experienced many hardships. Everyone was speechless when seeing this: “What’s wrong with you? What on earth did you go to do? How can you only maintain one hand?”
Shu Wanrong stared at her hands in amazement, trying hard to recall what she had done. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind – she remembered.
Wasn’t that white and tender right hand used to spread the soil just now? And the ordinary left hand was just holding the cloth bag, because she was too disgusted with the black soil and was careful not to touch it directly.
Beauty care methods were even more attractive to wealthy ladies than how to prevent their husbands from cheating. Everyone immediately surrounded Shu Wanrong and asked her what kind of magical medical beauty method this was. Ultrasound knife? Protein thread or Botox? Shu Wanrong was asked so many questions that she was overwhelmed and didn’t know how to explain. She blurted out, “… Really not! Really not! How could I have time to do any medical beauty recently? It must be because I’m digging the dirt at home…”
As soon as she said this, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly shut up. But how could she hide this from a group of ferocious women? Everyone was stunned when they heard it: “Dig the soil? Dig what soil? Why are you digging the soil at home?”
Digging the soil and doing farm work?
Shu Wanrong: “…”
What should she do? She was panicking. She couldn’t hide the fact that her stepson was ordering her to do things at home any longer! Doesn’t she have any dignity?
But there was no way to take back what was said, so facing those pairs of questioning eyes, she could only desperately try to save face and slowly make amends: “…Um, I, actually…um…my family is planning to replace some landscaping recently, so I’m going to do the layout myself…”
Ah… Arrange the greenery of your home yourself…
Although everyone still found it incredible, they reluctantly accepted this explanation and asked the same question they were concerned about: “So what kind of soil did you dig? Volcanic mud?”
“……” Shu Wanrong fell into a long silence, “…I don’t think so. I don’t know what kind of soil it is. It was brought back by Old Wei’s eldest son…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the gazes around her were so hot that they almost burned her.
Shu Wanrong was restless: “…What…what happened?”
The curly-haired woman threw her bag and stood up: “What are you waiting for? Take us home and let us dig with you!”
Shu Wanrong: “…”
Shu Wanrong tried to struggle: “Didn’t we agree to go to a spa? I have already chosen the package…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the women around her looked at her in unison: “Why are you still having a spa at this time? Are you stupid?”
