Chapter 792 That's Good Enough (22)

That evening, at Mr. Chen's open-eye stall.

The slums are deserted during the day, but become bustling with activity at night.

A few days ago, Fei Jian's field promotion work ended, and all the young men were worried about whether they would lose their jobs. But soon after, Boss Diao announced that their jobs would be retained, but their wages would be halved, and they would be contacted again when other jobs came up.

Upon hearing the news, the young men finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yuanfa is generous with money and doesn't have many requirements for his work. As long as the popularity of "Feijian" increases, they will receive wages and bonuses.

Although things are fine now, half of their salary is like a free benefit, and half is already a decent income, allowing them to go out in the evening and find a place to have a treat.

Mr. Chen's stall became lively, and there were so many people that there wasn't enough material to open the shop, so he had to set up another stall to make some snacks.

Usually, this place is brightly lit, with energetic young men and women playing "Feijian" while muttering strange languages, often staying until dawn before leaving.

But today, my stall is unusually quiet.

Young men and women with brightly colored hair and pierced faces with earrings, nose studs, mouth studs, and tongue studs, as if they wanted to open a nail shop on their faces, stood around Yun Jianxian, occasionally making puzzled noises.

"Strange, the question says A is greater than B, but the final calculation shows A is 11.7 and B is 11.11. Could there be a mistake in the calculation?"

"You're wrong, A is clearly older than B."

"You're the one who's joking, seven is clearly less than eleven."

"Oh right! I always thought seven was bigger than eleven."

Mr. Chen, who was kneading the dough, paused for a moment, then decided to try giving slightly less change next time.

Surrounded by others, Yun Jianxian scratched his head, struggling with the question, almost to the point of counting his toes.

Beside her, Xu Zifan said earnestly, "Look here, actually, as long as you transform the geometric problem into an algebraic problem, you can transform it by establishing a Cartesian coordinate system, and then you can solve it by applying the formula."

Yun Jianxian almost fell headfirst onto the table and died.

Suppressing the urge to tear up the toilet paper in front of her, she looked at Xu Zifan and said, "Is this a question a human being could answer?! Is the big boss deliberately messing with me?! Has he forgotten that I'm only twelve years old?!"

“Based on my understanding of Senior Lin, he probably thinks you’re seven years old,” Xu Zifan said seriously. “Why don’t you tell him tomorrow that you’re actually five years old and ask him to make the questions easier?”

"Ugh, what exactly is a numerical design?! ​​And Xu Zifan, how do you know about this?!"

"It's normal for someone from a prestigious family to know this, right?" Xu Zifan said doubtfully. "In this world, would there be a scion of a prestigious family who doesn't understand math? If there really is, then that person must be very pitiful."

"why!"

"This means the elders in the family have given up on this member. Of course, it's also possible they're keeping him for another purpose; I don't know."

Looking at Xu Zifan, Yun Jianxian realized that this person wasn't particularly smart, at least not as smart as Diao Ye.

The Mink Lady lacked a good environment. If she had any opportunity, even the smallest one, she could have stood out from that environment and achieved great things.

Unfortunately, his past experiences have completely shaped him, and the current Lord Mink has long lost his ambition and is only willing to live a carefree life in this small place.

Even Xu Zifan, with his current state of mind, could see that something was wrong with himself. This showed that he had indeed been utterly useless before. After reflecting on this, Yun Jianxian became even more determined.

Following Professor Xu Zifan's method with all her might, she wrote her homework furiously and said fiercely, "Come on, let's keep going! Let's fight until dawn!"

"Let me see if your question is normal!"

"You little devil, you hid the solution so well, but I still managed to find it!"

"Hehe, you even know how to play with traps. But if you dare to expose a trap, then it means the other condition is the key condition, right? Hehehe, how does it feel to have been bypassed and then ambushed by the other condition? How do you feel now!"

"This question is interesting; it requires using two conditions simultaneously, which definitely increases the difficulty. But it's okay, I'll use both!"

"I can't solve this problem, but that's okay, there's another one. Let it sit for a while, and it'll beg me to come and do it."

Hearing Yun Jianxian's unconscious remarks, Diao Ye, who was sitting opposite Yun Jianxian, opened his mouth wide and said to Xu Zifan, who was blushing, "This girl is a real talent."

"Hmm...where did you find it?" Xu Zifan asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Do you have any ulterior motives towards my daughter?" Lord Mink said warily. "We may be familiar with each other, but don't blame me for not warning you, some things you do will lead to your death!"

"I didn't!" Xu Zifan shouted immediately, "I just feel that this girl looks a bit like someone..."

Although the Xu family is also a prominent family, the gap between them and the four great families of the upper realm is greater than the gap between them and rogue cultivators.

Therefore, he only glanced at Yun Jianxian from afar, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar, but he didn't think much of it.

After letting Yun Jianxian continue working on his problems alone, Xu Zifan asked Diaoye, "Diaoye, what are your thoughts on what happened before?"

"What is it?" Lord Mink asked, sipping the tea that Boss Chen had given him.

"Um... um... would you be willing to move into the Xu family's house and live with us?"

"Why would I go there? I'm very happy here. I get a free salary every day, I have a group of people to play with, and I don't have to sell kidneys anymore. I feel great and have a good appetite. There's no need to move."

Seeing that Master Diao didn't understand, Xu Zifan decided to be more open about it.

Looking at Lord Diao, Xu Zifan said seriously, "Lord Diao, I actually noticed it the moment I saw you."

"Ok?"

"You don't belong here. Your vision and perspective are above average, and it's my blessing to have met you. Because of this, you need a broader stage. In the Xu family, you can learn more. Moreover, thanks to your relationship with Senior Lin, you can also advance further, gain stronger cultivation, and ultimately achieve great things."

“But I find it troublesome,” Lord Mink said, frowning. “Anyway, my debts have all been wiped clean by Senior Lin, so I don’t have to worry about anything. I can just die happily a hundred years from now.”

"But I don't want to!" Xu Zifan shouted. "I want to ascend to the upper realm with you. This is my greatest dream since I met you!"

“But I don’t want to either,” Lord Mink said with a smile. “This is fine. Xu Zifan, you have your ideals, and I have my goals. Let’s just leave it at that. There’s no need for further discussion.”

Patting Xu Zifan on the shoulder, Diaoye said with a smile, "It's alright, I like this kind of life, it's fine as it is."

Clutching his chest, Lord Mink said softly, "That's good."
