Hidden moth

Chapter 141: Still waiting to be deeply rooted in the dust

Yesterday he practiced a set of spear techniques to train his dragon tendons. Because he was in a hurry, the long bamboo used as the spear was cut temporarily. Today he specially chose a better bamboo that was more suitable for him.

The small bamboo chair and the bamboo motto that Jiang Daozhen gave him were both made of purple jade bamboo. He Kao also saw such a bamboo field deep in Gushan Mountain. He came here to dig winter bamboo shoots yesterday and came here to make a bamboo spear today.

Purple Jade Bamboo is very tough, and He Kao has never seen it anywhere else. He picked one that fits his hand and roughly judged that it was of the right year of growth. After a lot of effort, he finally cut it off at the root.

While chopping a bamboo, he actually broke his hatchet, so he ran to the Pugang Farmers' Market to buy a new one. He used the power of his spiritual consciousness to sharpen the branch and made it into a spear about four meters long.

He cleared a space on a small hill and began to practice shooting. With the gun flowers flying, his figure was as graceful as a startled swan and as agile as a swimming dragon. It was a pity that no one was watching and cheering.

He Kao performed the entire set of Dragon Tendon Exercises from beginning to end. As his Qi and blood surged and then returned to calm, he felt that the inexplicable restlessness had finally been resolved.

Looking at the spear in his hand again, he felt that this object was destined to be with him, so he kept it in the secret cave.

The texture of the purple jade bamboo is so tough, but the bamboo shoots are so tender and delicious. I can dig some more today and cook them, and try them with Gao Xue'e... He Kao remembered the dishes he made yesterday, took out his mobile phone and saw Gao Xue'e's message again.

Gao Xue'e asked him where he was and reminded him that he had to work overtime in the afternoon.

He Kao sent a message back: "It won't affect my work. I'll have something delicious tonight."

He didn't make his meaning clear, Gao Xue'e misunderstood and asked again, "What do you want to eat?"

He Kao: "I'll give you something delicious."

Gao Xue'e: "What about you?"

He Kao: "Of course I want to eat too."

Gao Xue'e: "What do you want to eat?"

It's really hard to watch these two people chatting. I have no idea what they are talking about after chatting for a long time, but they don't realize it. Anyway, they are not chatting for others to see.

He Kao: "Just waiting for the roots to disappear from the dust, the years in the mountains pass by unknowingly. One night it blooms with the spring rain, and the newly born food is the most tender and delicious."

Gao Xue'e: "Rogue!" Then there was the knocking of the head and a shy expression.

He Kao just posted a riddle, and the answer is "bamboo shoots." What was she thinking? She even cursed... She needs a good lesson!
"What do you think about my aunt's family?" This is what He Kao asked Gao Xue'e early the next morning.

He Kao had mentioned this to Gao Xue'e at dinner yesterday, but before they could discuss it in depth, He Kao, acting like a naive young man, sought advice from Gao Xue'e, a mature and intellectual leader.

Gao Xue'e had just finished practicing a set of Eight Section Brocade in the living room. The circulation of internal energy and the rhythm of movements were already perfectly controlled. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, and her skin was white and rosy, as if emitting a charming luster.

He Kao had taught Gao Xue'e the external exercises and the corresponding meditation methods, which were the foundation-building exercises before entering the door, for a period of time, and also asked her to carry the beast claw pendant with her.

Gao Xue'e's physical fitness is quite good, and now her mental quality is also very good. She has achieved great success in her practice, and the improvements in her physical fitness and mentality are obvious.

Now that she had successfully established her foundation, she should consider whether she could enter the sect. However, He Kao told her that the technique he planned to teach her had very special requirements. After breaking through the first level, she had to break through to the second level in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, the foundation-building practice before entering the door is very important. The more solid the foundation, the better. He Kao also has some methods to help her consolidate the foundation of her cultivation, and she will try her best to use them.

What he wanted to teach Gao Xue'e was obviously the Hidden Moth Technique. Therefore, he also reminded Gao Xue'e that she must keep the details of the technique secret and never tell anyone else.

Gao Xue'e's muscles and bones are stronger, her figure is becoming more and more graceful, her skin is tighter and smoother, and she is more delicate... He Kao was sitting on the sofa watching her practice, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited again, and almost couldn't help but want to have a meal.

Considering that time might be running out and it would delay the leader's work, he diverted his attention in time and talked about the topic that he had not finished last night.

Gao Xue'e took the soy milk handed over by He Kao, sat down and said, "If you put yourself in your cousin's shoes, she should actually go out and find a job so that she can be less influenced by her parents.

If she's fine staying home, then this isn't necessary. If she feels that helping her parents run the business from home isn't having a positive impact on her, then it's something to consider.

You have to remember that the key to this matter is not what you think, but what she thinks." Once the discussion began, Gao Xue'e's conversational style shifted to that of a professional elite.

He Kao: "After graduation, she went out to work for more than half a year. My uncle asked her to come back. He said her parents were worried about her being away alone, and the family business needed help."

Gao Xue'e: "Did your aunt's family ever hire anyone for help?"

He Kao: "They originally hired someone, but after Xiaoshan went back to help, they fired that person."

Gao Xue'e: "So business is better than before?"

He Kao: "It's impossible to make a simple comparison. The environment is always changing, and buying and selling are not exactly the same."

Gao Xue'e: "Let's not talk about the business type and the external environment, let's talk about the internal situation."

He Kao: "That's much better than before. My aunt and uncle both said so. Xiaoshan is family after all, and she cares more about her family's business."

Gao Xue'e: "Because she's my own daughter, I can order her around as much as I want. If it were someone I hired before, who worked too much for too little and was treated badly, I wouldn't have done it.

After all, it’s just a shop, and there’s no way I can promise options and wait for the listing…”

He Kao almost laughed out loud. Gao Xue'e came over, stretched out her hand and hooked his chin, saying, "Young people nowadays are lucky enough not to rely on their parents! To be practical, her parents asked her to go home and work, so her value is reflected in two aspects.

One is the cost savings from firing employees, and the other is the extra profit generated by her family being more responsible. Did her parents pay her for these?"

He Kao: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I only give her some pocket money every month? I said it was to help her save for her dowry, and I also said I was worried she'd spend it recklessly... Now that this has happened, my aunt has even more reason to complain."

Gao Xue'e: "No one else can do anything about this. Anyway, I've already given my advice."

He Kao: "But Xiaoshan's current condition makes it difficult for her to find a suitable job."

Gao Xue'e shook her head and said, "What do you mean by unsuitable? After all, she has an education, is not too old, and is pretty, especially looking quite fresh.

No one else may have the same innate conditions as her. You have to thank your uncle and aunt for this. After all, the genes are given by her parents, and her parents raised her and sent her to school.

She doesn't have to go too far, she can just find a large company in Qiyuan, such as an Internet technology company, and apply for a receptionist position!

He Kao: "Work as a receptionist?" Gao Xue'e: "Why, do you look down on this position? Wasn't she originally a shopkeeper in town? And let me tell you, a position like this is the easiest to find a partner!
Take our company, for example. We have a lot of tech geeks with high education, decent salaries, and decent looks. They just need to dress up. Some of them might even get IPO options in the future.

These people usually don't have the opportunity to come into contact with many girls, nor do they have time to go out and date, so they rely on acquaintances to introduce them to blind dates.

Diagonally across from our building is the branch of the Golden Locust Group. The office space only occupies one floor, with less than 200 employees, and over 100 of them are single young men.

Their company replaces its receptionist every six months, all because of these tech geeks. I once asked their HR department if they found it too much trouble, and they said, "It's a way to help internal employees solve their financial problems."

He Kao: "Isn't this a bit off topic?"

Gao Xue'e smiled. "Yes, that's a bit off topic. This is the next step, and the first step must be taken first." She already has a tech geek, Huang Xiaopang from our project team.

Your cousin herself doesn't even know it, but he paid 150,000 yuan to help her solve the problem. What kind of person is this? Even licking dogs wouldn't lick like this. Besides, Huang Si wasn't pursuing her, nor did he ask her to do anything! "

He Kao: "Do you think Xiaopang is stupid?"

Gao Xue'e: "No, I don't think it's stupid, but cool. As expected of your childhood friend, it's so cool!
He was simply helping your cousin, with no strings attached. If you treat this kind of person as a bootlicker, your aunt and her family would be incredibly foolish."

He Kao changed the subject and asked, "Why don't you suggest that Xiaoshan apply for the receptionist position at the Jinhuang Group branch?"

Gao Xue'e: "I'm just giving an example to provide a perspective. With her professional qualifications, she definitely wouldn't be able to get into our department through social recruitment, and the same is true for other departments in our branch.

However, we have some cooperative units in Qiyuan, including subsidiaries in which we have a stake or controlling stake. It’s not that we don’t have suitable positions for her, and we can find ways to arrange one for her.”

He Kao: "From what I hear, can you arrange a new job for her?"

Gao Xue'e: "It's not that I can, but if it's really necessary, the conditions are there. But you can't take the initiative to arrange things like this, otherwise it's not helping others, and you might even make enemies."

He Kao nodded and said, "I understand, that's the truth. But I guess it would be difficult for Xiaoshan to make this decision herself, otherwise she wouldn't have returned home in the first place."

Gao Xue'e spread her hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about this. You're not her parents, and you chose your own path." She leaned forward and said, "Xiao Kao, why are you so concerned about this cousin?"

He Kao smiled bitterly and said, "My uncle went to Kuanchun in the Northeast when he was 18 years old to go to college, and then settled there. I don't have any other close relatives in Qiyuan, and I only have this one sister since I was a child.

I'm not asking you to find her a job today, I just want you to help analyze the situation and what my aunt and uncle think.

Gao Xue'e: "Does it also include the incident of me hiding prohibited dangerous goods in your house last time?"

He Kao nodded: "Yes!"

Gao Xue'e reached out and hugged his head, rubbing his hair and said, "It's not complicated. Some people only look at themselves and the present when doing things, and don't think about more consequences.

This is actually an instinctive animal reaction. There is a term to describe this situation, which is - anti-intellectualism."

He Kao: "Anti-intellectual?"

Gao Xue'e: "Yes, cats and dogs are like this, but humans are not like that because humans have intelligence. Isn't our department's project related to artificial intelligence?

If we only consider ourselves and the present when doing things, isn't that anti-intellectual? Anti-intellectualism is anti-sociality, anti-causality, and a regression to animal instinct.

Even without considering the moral factors, this decision-making mechanism, while seemingly simple and straightforward, has very low utility.”

He Kao: "What you said is so learned!"

Gao Xue'e deliberately pursed her lips and said in a boastful tone, "Of course! My graduation thesis is about decision-making mechanism management."

Then, his tone changed again, "But most of the time, you shouldn't try to reason with people who don't want to reason. Having parents like that is actually quite a headache... I can't help but think of my mom."

He Kao: "Is your mother as fierce as my aunt?"

Gao Xue'e: "Not really. She's very purposeful and measured in her actions, often considering several steps ahead. She always wants to sell me off for a good price."

He Kao: "Oh, how much is the price?"

Gao Xue'e: "What's the asking price? You're so ignorant! Let me give you an example. Two years ago, when I went home, she introduced me to the local mayor's assistant."

He Kao: "He's quite an official, probably at the deputy department level."

Gao Xue'e tapped him and said, "Deputy mayor is only deputy director, assistant mayor is half a level lower. He had just been promoted to this position, and was still only a director, so he was in the reserve position of deputy director.

That guy's wife went abroad with their child. It was said that the child went to school and the adults accompanied him. But they had no plans to come back. Then he was cut off according to the organization's requirements...

He was ten years older than me, weighed twice as much as I did, and had chronic illnesses, but in my mother's eyes, his strengths in certain areas outweighed his shortcomings.

Because these shortcomings have no impact on her personally, but those advantages are beneficial to her, my father, and other relatives in the family - this is her decision-making mechanism."

He Kao: "Did you have a falling out with your mother because of this?"

Gao Xue'e: "It's not that serious. I just don't want to. If I don't want to, then I don't want to. Life is not just about this one thing. There's no need to make a fuss about it.

There are definitely things your aunt does that your cousin doesn't want; and there are also things your cousin does that your aunt doesn't want. That's all, they all need to understand this principle."

He Kao: "This is you. Someone else might not be able to do it. You can handle it without causing any trouble."

Gao Xue'e laughed and said, "I've been through a lot, and now I'm an immortal cultivator. How can I not handle a mortal?"

This sounded like a joke but also serious. Most people didn't have such dangerous experiences as hers. Moreover, she was indeed practicing magic now and was in the foundation-building stage before getting started. She also had the help of elixirs like Peiyuan Dan.

Warlocks possess vast powers, seemingly like legendary gods in the eyes of ordinary people. For example, when Li Xiuyuan demonstrated the magical effects of the Yin'e Sha, even the third-level warlock He Kao felt that this was the work of a god!

After saying this, Gao Xue'e probably felt that she was a little arrogant. She curled up and said softly, "Those words just now sounded easy to say. In fact, I only understood a lot of the truths recently."
