Chapter 592 - 189: Goodbye, My Father
"The Cyan Cloud Sect does not want to rashly make enemies with the Disaster Strategy Bureau; it’s not that the Cyan Cloud Sect doesn’t dare to confront the Disaster Strategy Bureau. If Zi Yuan is angered, then so what if there’s a fight? Just for me alone, would the Disaster Strategy Bureau really want to engage in a full-scale war with the Cyan Cloud Sect?"
"Ugh..."
"I’m so foolish, really," Keke sighed while cutting vegetables for her older brother, "I should never have met Teacher Zi Yuan in the first place. If I had never met Teacher Zi Yuan, I wouldn’t have taken her as my mentor. If I hadn’t done that, Teacher Zi Yuan wouldn’t have met my big brother, and if Teacher Zi Yuan hadn’t met my big brother, he wouldn’t have become her boyfriend. If my big brother weren’t her boyfriend, he wouldn’t be so entwined in Teacher Zi Yuan’s grasp like this..."
"...And my big brother wouldn’t be eternally trapped in Teacher Zi Yuan’s palm."
"Why would you want to escape?"
"What if in the future you cheat, or if you’re subjected to domestic violence and want a divorce? Don’t you need a backup plan?"
Jiang Si paused mid-air with the spatula, pondering for a long moment.
What exactly was Keke thinking?
It seems like I need to keep Keke away from the darker sides of manga creators.
Manga can be quite misleading; I should ban her from reading manga in the future and have her read more online literature instead.
"No way, no way." Keke handed Jiang Si pepper and salt from the side, "Until you find a way out, big brother, you absolutely cannot break up with Teacher Zi Yuan!"
"I don’t need you to tell me that."
"And don’t anger Teacher Zi Yuan. Try to keep your distance from other girls..." Then Keke added, "Of course, you can get a little closer to Captain Yin Lian."
"Dinner’s ready."
"Oh."
They carried the dishes and utensils back to the living room, habitually turning on the TV, listening to its chatter while they ate.
The news reported that the Disaster Strategy Bureau announced the Curse Realm had been destroyed by the Cyan Cloud Sect. The report described how the Cyan Cloud Sect had completely wiped out the century-old cult hidden in Southern and Eastern China, praising the Cyan Cloud Sect’s accomplishments and expressing a desire for collaboration, promising better protection for the citizens and such.
The response was quite fast.
"Brother, are you in need of money?"
"Not in need."
"Eh? Where did the money come from?"
"I earned it myself."
"Oh." Keke took a couple of bites of rice, "If you ever need money, just let me know. I’ve got my salary."
"How much?"
"Twenty thousand."
"Not bad?"
"Heh heh."
Jiang Si nodded, "It seems the Disaster Strategy Bureau has its merits."
"Of course!" Keke sat in her chair, swinging her legs in a smug manner, "It’s a stable salary, even getting paid without needing to work, which is why Senior Peony always tries to slack off. Even without working, she still gets paid, although there’s no bonus for working more."
Then she tilted her nose upwards, "Looking like a primary school student on the outside, but actually a magical girl in middle school earning 20,000 a month! Impressive, right? Super awesome, right? I’m a genius, aren’t I?"
While talking, she transformed with a flourish of her hand, smugly patting Jiang Si on the shoulder, "Big brother, you won’t need a part-time job anymore."
"Don’t be ashamed of spending Hua’s money; you should feel proud instead." She said this as she ended the transformation.
Hearing Keke’s tone as if she would be the head of the household in the future, Jiang Si didn’t say much.
He held much more than just the 300,000 Bingtang gave him.
The company in Jiangming City, ever since Ruo Yun, that spendthrift girl, left, had been doing quite well financially.
When Flower Fox was still around, it took almost a month to make 200,000, only for it to be spent by Ruo Yun. Later, Ruo Yun even sold Flower Fox to the Disaster Strategy Bureau, directly cutting off funds, taking all the company’s money to expand her small army.
Not to say it shouldn’t be spent; investments do have returns, and the return from Ruo Yun wasn’t too shabby. Spending this money didn’t hurt Jiang Si too much...
Well, maybe a little.
But he believed Ruo Yun could earn it back.
As long as he could obtain materials from the Mirror Country to forge the Extreme Emperor Weapon, everything would be worth it.
However, with Flower Fox gone, and company funds sucked dry by Ruo Yun, the company was almost bankrupt.
Jiang Si himself had pretty much given up on it too.
After all, it was something he did casually in Jiangming City, and he wasn’t particularly concerned.
Unexpectedly, the company later received an investment, and someone took over Flower Fox’s position, contacting him, claiming to be Flower Fox’s subordinate and taking over the company’s operations.
In just two weeks, the company was revitalized, successfully making profits again.
Much more effective than Flower Fox’s management.
Keke struggled for a month to earn 20,000, while the company on its own provided him with 60,000 within days.
No wonder everyone wants to be the boss.
Who doesn’t want to earn money lying down?
The big brother, now holding almost 400,000 yuan, looked at his little sister, who was proud of her mere 20,000, and merely shook his head.
He casually felt his savings, showing a disdainful smile.
A frog at the bottom of a well.
Becoming so conceited for just 20,000, when I haven’t mentioned a word while holding close to 400,000.
Nearly drooling over such a small amount, she’s terrifying like a mushroom, destined to become a major problem.
In the future, if she encounters someone wealthy, wouldn’t she be easily deceived?
When the time comes, let Bingtang show her the world and broaden her horizons.
When I had ten Black Gold Cards, Jiang Si thought they were precious but didn’t feel a sense of fulfillment.
After all, there were just too many.
So many that it naturally seemed fishy, probably some tricks involved.
Just that there were so many, Jiang Si couldn’t resist collecting them all first, even if there was something amiss.
Eating both bait and hook, and if that doesn’t work, swallow the fisherman too.
