Chapter 6: Is the money earned enough to buy mantou?

  For Ximen Qing, the most tragic thing in life is not that people die and money is not spent. It's watching a beautiful woman like a flower jade escape from his own face.

  Obviously, Gu Lili's scare had what kind of impact on our Ximen Dafu?

  Women have always been pursued until they are caught... but this also depends on when.

  In Northern Song Dynasty, Ximen Qing was so successful in the emotional arena and had a smooth sailing because he knew when to pursue beautiful women and when not to.

  If you chase when you shouldn't, there's only one outcome: a rear-end collision. You'll end up with egg on your face.

  In Ximen Qing's pursuit of women, if he were to pursue Gu Lili with a thick face, although her mother might not have any objections, given Gu Lili's current impression of him and her temperament, things would only backfire.

  If it were any more serious, with a temperament like Gu Li Li's, she might even kick her own eggs...

  "Alas! What a beautiful scene has been wasted, and I've missed the perfect person!"

  Ximen Qing grasped his wrist and sighed.

  "Listening to that little girl's tone, it seems she thinks I'm not speaking normally..." Ximen Qing calmed down and his strengths immediately appeared - yes, he was good at reflecting on himself. "Ah, I really am clever for a lifetime, but confused for a moment. Thinking about it now, this is the world of the future, what they say and what I say are vastly different... No wonder Gu Mei Ren has been treating me with such disdain."

  "It seems I have to keep up with people in this future world, learn what they say and do what they do..."

  Ximen Qing thus reminded himself.

  Of course, he also reminded himself that he must learn their way of doing things in bed...

  No matter which world it is, you can only live in it if you adapt to it.

  －－－－－－－

  "Hey handsome guy, do you have a dream of becoming a superstar? If so, tell me..."

  Ye Xing smiled and looked at Xi Men Qing, throwing a brick to lure the jade, dropping an enticing bomb that made countless beautiful men and women ecstatic.

  Nowadays, who doesn't want to be a superstar?

  Ximen Qing was awakened by Ye Xing while he was reflecting on himself. Ximen Qing looked at Ye Xing and saw the guy who had just cursed him as a madman, and immediately became furious:

  "What are you doing here again?!"

  It seems like a very tempting sentence, but it is useless to Ximen Qing. —— Ximen Qing has never heard of any stars or big names, only the big bowl of wine that Wu Song drank!

  When Ximen Qing scolded himself, Ye Xing's lips trembled involuntarily for a few times.

  But in order to keep his own rice bowl, Ye Xing gritted his teeth and endured. He turned around with a smile and said:

  "I'm really sorry, handsome guy. I know I was rude to you before, that's just me being blind and not recognizing a great person like Mount Tai. Please forgive me for my mistake."

  "Oh, what else do you want to play?" Looking at the guy with a smile all over his face, whose attitude was not very sincere but also not very hypocritical, Ximen Qing's anger subsided slightly, but he still had his guard up against this guy.

  Seeing Ximen Qing's slightly improved attitude towards himself, Ye Xing was overjoyed and laughed again:

  "Hey, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ye Xing, and I'm a talent scout for the 'Friendship Brothers' film and television company. I specialize in finding potential stars for those big directors... Same old saying, if you want to become a superstar, I can help make it happen..."

  In comparison, the temptation of this sentence is many times stronger than the previous one! - In other words, as long as you nod slightly, an opportunity to become a star will be right in front of you, within easy reach!

  What a dream come true for Beiyin's school beauty and grass!

  Even some third-rate celebrities with a bit of fame are envious of this.

  Let "Friendship Brothers" film and television company take a fancy to it, then wouldn't I be able to soar into the sky from being a third-rate small star and turn into a phoenix?

  But Ximen Qing's response almost made Ye Xing vomit blood:

  "What a big shot, what a big bowl! I've always hated those who drink with big bowls in my life!"

  It's clear that Wu Song, this positive character, has had a huge psychological impact on our Ximen Dajun...

  Ye Xing was stunned for a while, but to make him believe that Ximen Qing was the infamous Ximen Qing, it would be harder than making him believe that a sow could climb trees. So, Ye Xing didn't know what this Ximen Qing referred to for a moment.

  Ye Xing still thought that the guy in front of him who was indeed very handsome - had a problem! ... And, he was quite ill!

  "Hey, I'm telling you, big bro, this superstar is a dream that everyone can see but can't reach. Don't you have even the slightest desire?"

  Ye Xing was almost in tears. To think that this kind of good thing, others would be eager to have for themselves. Now, it's the opposite, as a star agent, he's the one who's seeking them out...

  What's going on here?

  "Don't try to tempt me with your tricks, I've done more of that sort of thing than you can count on your fingers! You think you can tempt me?... Let me tell you, even if you were as alluring as a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, I, Ximen Qing, wouldn't be moved by what you're saying!"

  "It's impossible to move my heart, but if you continue to disturb me, it will be... a fight."

  Ximen Qing clenched his fists, which were as big as a sand pot. His face also became somewhat ferocious and frightening.

  Ye Xing's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't dare speak.

  Ye Xing was so stifled! He couldn't help but let out a belly laugh at Xi Menqing.

  "If I weren't afraid of losing my job, I wouldn't bother with a loser like you."

  But faced with Ximen Qing's ferocious fists, Ye Xing didn't dare say anything meaningless. Ye Xing knew that dealing with such a mentally ill guy, continuing to talk would be like playing the piano to a cow, pointless.

  "We need to find a breakthrough, this guy's fatal weakness..."

  "Gurgle"

  Ximen Qing couldn't help but rub his belly. This was the nth time his stomach had growled. Before saving Gu Lili, Ximen Qing's stomach had already started rumbling with hunger.

  But this did not make Ximen Qing angry.

  What made Ximen Qing angry was that when he took out the thousand taels of silver notes on his body to buy something to eat, the seller just looked at him with a very inexplicable gaze. In the end, it can be said that Ximen Qing, who had a fortune of tens of thousands, couldn't even buy a single steamed bun...

  It's said to be a joke, but even Ximen Qing himself might not believe it!

  Have you ever heard such a strange joke?

  －－－

  "Big brother, are you very hungry? Don't you have any money in your hands to buy something to eat?" Ye Xing looked at Xi Menqing with a hungry expression and suddenly discovered this fatal breakthrough.

  Not to mention you as an ordinary person, even a ghost would become a donkey that can be pushed around in the face of money.

  No one has an enemy with money.

  Ye Xing can be said to be extremely good at observing and listening. It's also worthy of his status as a star scout, possessing the observational skills he should have.

  But Ye Xing only got it half right.

  Ximen Qing was indeed hungry. But it wasn't that he didn't have any money on him. It's just that this money, in today's society, in front of those ordinary people who don't know its value, is like a scrap of waste paper!

  "Big brother, don't hesitate anymore. Come with me. I guarantee that as long as you follow me to see the director, you'll definitely earn a fortune!"

  Ximen Qing's tightly clenched fist relaxed a bit, and Ye Xing took advantage of the opportunity.

  "Can the money you earn buy mantou?"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Ximen Qing really couldn't stand the taste of hunger. When Ye Xing said he could make a lot of money, Ximen Qing finally stopped rejecting this guy in front of him.

  After all, having breasts is for girls. —— Although, the fate of this guy in front of me has determined that he will never grow breasts.

  "Haha... Big brother, aren't you joking? You've become a star and earned money. Would you still buy mantou (steamed buns)? ... If you do buy, it's probably the kind on women's bodies, right?"

  Yexingjiu is doing his favorite thing. Even a man would have something he likes, and it's all been brought out. He's afraid that Ximenqing will suddenly turn around and leave with an upward trend.

  Ye Xing didn't know that his last sentence was even more to the liking of Ximen Qing than the previous one!

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Ximen Qing's big eyes narrowed into a line. He had a sly look on his face and chuckled to Ye Xing:

  "Is it really like that?"

  "That's for sure. Star scouts' work, reputation is number one..." Ye Xing almost patted his own chest to guarantee it on the spot.

  "What's the point of wasting any more time, hurry up and lead the way!"

  “————”

  In Huaxia country, high-ranking officials and beauties are remembered by people in this city even if they don't leave their homes.

  Gu Lili's beautiful name is well-known in City B. She is a topic of discussion for many people in City B - men, who talk about her after dinner and tea. And she is also the object of affection for countless young men in City B, who think of her day and night.

  After more than 2,000 years of feudal power society, the status of high-ranking officials has become even more deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people. Therefore, Zhao Yi, the secretary of the municipal party committee of City B, is also well-known to everyone. His son, Zhao Cheng, is no exception.

  "Grow up, wake up!"

  "Brother Ming, wake up!"

  A group of fashionably dressed people with hair dyed in various bright colors surrounded Zhao Cheng and Chen Ming, chattering loudly. Many onlookers were also gathered around them.

  It's clear to onlookers that these two young men who were just kicked unconscious by that guy are definitely not ordinary people's children. Just the clothes on their bodies are worth tens of thousands.

  Everyone in City B knows Zhao Cheng's name, but among these onlookers who have really seen Zhao Cheng in person, there isn't a single one.

  If they knew that one of the guys lying on the ground was the city committee secretary's precious son, they would definitely avoid him. Because they know that once they get involved with the city committee secretary's son, they may get into trouble.

  It's the same principle as "if you stay with a fox, you'll get its stench".

  It can be imagined what a formidable figure this city committee secretary's son is...

  Once you've crossed him, don't think he'll let it go easily.

  －－－－－－

  "I'm going to kill this 2B!!!"

  As soon as he woke up, Zhao Cheng still thought Ximen Qing hadn't left, and under the conditioned reflex, he suddenly blurted out this foul language.

  Until he saw clearly the tiger skin in front of him, he suddenly stopped.

  Hupi was exactly the person Chen Ming called on the phone. "Hupi" is a nickname.

  "What happened when you were young?"

  "I've done this, what will happen now?!"

  Zhao Cheng roared with rage.

  "It's always been me bullying others, never has there been a time when I've been bullied by others!"

  The tiger skin just happened to hit the muzzle, and Zhao Cheng scolded him fiercely. But Zhao Cheng was the city committee secretary's precious son, his own family background was not bad either, but he couldn't help but give Zhao Cheng a good face. Hearing Zhao Cheng so furious, he immediately helped to frame him:

  "Who's this punk? I'm gonna chop him up!"

  "NND, if I knew who he was, I'd get my dad to deal with him right now! ... That 2B dared to call himself 'Ximen Qing' in front of me, NND, once I find him, I'll beat him until he's physically disabled!"

  Hearing this, Hu Pi was taken aback at first, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

  He had never heard of such a thing before.

  Isn't it difficult for these young rascals to use celebrities as their shields nowadays?

  "But also good to investigate..."

  Just then, Chen Ming slowly woke up. His head was still a bit sore, and he rubbed it with both hands for a few times before continuing:

  "That guy is really something. He's handsome, but it's the kind of handsomeness that makes you want to punch him... He has long hair that's even longer than a woman's, and he wears ancient clothes like he's acting in a historical drama... The most infuriating thing is, he's also spouting off all sorts of antiquated phrases!"
