Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

The owner of Zhang Laowai Barbecue is naturally Zhang Laowai.

But this is not his real name, but his nickname.

He had a problem since childhood, and his neck was always crooked, so everyone called him Zhang Laowai (Old Crooked Zhang). No one remembers his real name anymore.

However, Zhang Laowai's barbecue skills are undeniable, and his name is also memorable, so he is quite well-known in the city, and many people drive here specifically to eat there at night.

When Shen Qingzhou and Lao Zhong arrived, the restaurant was already full, and there were no private rooms available, so they had to sit in the main hall.

The two were regulars, not first-timers, and ordered without looking at the menu.

Although Shen Qingzhou doesn't drink, that doesn't mean Lao Zhong doesn't. However, he's not a big drinker. After a couple of drinks, he started slurring his words and bragging.

They brag about how awesome his brother is, how awesome he himself is, and how he's nicknamed the Wheel King...

Shen Qingzhou believed the first two points. He had several brothers who were doing quite well, but he was the worst off.

As a scoundrel, it's quite impressive that Lao Zhong has managed to amass such a fortune.

As for the Wheel King and all that, Shen Qingzhou didn't believe a word of it. To brag in front of the Wheel King was like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu.

He is not only the Wheel King, but also the Northern Gun King, capable of piercing a woman's heart with a single shot.

"Brother, don't worry, my daughter will be back in China next week, and I'll give you every penny of that three million."

Although Shen Qingzhou kept saying that Lao Zhong had run away, he wasn't worried at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained indifferent for the past ten days.

Although Lao Zhong has many shortcomings, he also has many strengths, such as loyalty and keeping promises.

That's why he has many friends, and even more of them are capable.

Therefore, Shen Qingzhou was never worried that he couldn't repay the three million. Even if he didn't have it, he could borrow three million.

"Actually, if you can't come up with that three million right away, I do have a solution," Shen Qingzhou said.

Shen Qingzhou didn't want to force Lao Zhong to the point of selling his house.

Of course, he can't not pay back the money; he wasted more than half a year... Well, it wasn't exactly a waste of time, since he slept with her, but he still has to pay back the money he owes.

Hearing Shen Qingzhou say this, Lao Zhong seemed to sober up a bit.

He put down his wine glass, looked at Shen Qingzhou, and said, "Tell me about it."

"What are you listening to? All I want is for you to introduce me to a few more business deals, the kind where I don't take a commission," Shen Qingzhou said.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "I'll think about it."

"What the hell are you going to think about? I'm giving you preferential treatment, and you're already putting on airs," Shen Qingzhou said irritably.

"I'm worried that this will take too long, and the prices of the deals I'm introducing aren't very high."

"We'll talk about it when we really can't pay it back. You need to work harder during this time, and stop wasting all your energy running around between women."

"Okay, I'll try running around and eating kidneys these next few days to replenish my energy..."

Old Zhong handed over a large kidney with a grin.

"Am I the kind of person who needs to eat kidneys to replenish my energy? But this tastes really good, boss, five more skewers of kidneys, please..."

Shen Qingzhou cooperated with Lao Zhong because Lao Zhong had many friends, connections, and most importantly, he was not one to forget loyalty for petty gains.

However, probably because of his age and the fact that his daughter is already an adult, he has become a bit lazy and will become lazy if he is not urged to do anything.

After dinner, the two parted ways, and Shen Qingzhou went directly to the orphanage.

Since the car is parked at the welfare home, it's better to just rest there for the night and leave directly from there tomorrow morning.

Of course, Shen Qingzhou also brought a lot of barbecue for the children; this time, Lao Zhong really went all out.

Because they ate dinner early, Shen Qingzhou arrived at the orphanage at just before nine o'clock. The children were still awake, and since it was Friday and they had the day off, they were all playing around in the yard.

The courtyard was brightly lit with colorful lights and beautifully decorated. Shen Qingzhou had hung them up for the Chinese New Year and hadn't taken them down since.

Shen Qingzhou knocked on the door, and immediately some children asked who it was, while others started calling out to Grandma Cui and Aunt Zhao.

"It's me," Shen Qingzhou said.

The courtyard gate was quickly opened from the inside; it was Aunt Cui who opened it again.

"Aunt Cui, are you staying overnight tonight?" Shen Qingzhou asked.

Two of the caregivers at the orphanage stay overnight each week, while the other six, excluding the accountant, take turns.

"Yes, it's me and Aunt Zhao," Aunt Cui said.

What a coincidence, it was the same two girls who came both times.

"Why are you here so late?" Aunt Cui asked, closing the door behind her.

At this moment, the children all gathered around.

"Could I borrow your car? I have some things to do tomorrow, so I'll be staying here tonight," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Okay, I'll help you make your bed later. But Xiao Zhou, no offense, but we basically don't use that car. You might as well just drive back, so you don't have to keep going back and forth."

"It's alright, I just happened to be visiting the kids."

"Brother Xiaozhou, what are you carrying in your hand...?"

"Brother Xiaozhou, tomorrow is Saturday, can you take us out to play...?"

"Brother Xiaozhou, I got a hundred points on my test this time..."

……

The children were very enthusiastic. After sharing the skewers with them, Shen Qingzhou took the remaining two skewers and headed towards the steps at the door.

Sure enough, the little idiot sat there with his chin propped up on his hand, looking at the children in the yard. He had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes were dull and he looked like a fool.

Shen Qingzhou sat down next to her and rubbed the skewer on her little mouth. It took her more than ten seconds to react before she opened her mouth and bit into it.

"Waaah~"

Like a kitten that has just gotten a bite of meat, its eyes narrowed slightly.

After a long while, as if only then realizing what was happening, she turned to look at Shen Qingzhou, her eyes widening slightly, as if to say, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Qingzhou reached out and patted her little head.

The little guy lowered his head and ate the skewers in his hand. As he ate, he squeezed closer to Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou didn't take it to heart. There was a reason why everyone called her "Dazed." The little one probably wanted to get closer to Shen Qingzhou as soon as she saw him.

But while I was thinking about it, my body couldn't react in time. It took a while for it to register before I could move.

Just then, Daidai suddenly reached out and snatched the remaining string from his hand.

"Hey~ Mine."

This time the movements were much faster.

"You little rascal, you react the fastest when it comes to eating."

Shen Qingzhou affectionately patted her little head.

When Shen Qingzhou woke up in the morning, he found someone in his arms. The child had climbed onto his bed at some point, hugging a small dinosaur doll, and was sleeping soundly next to him. The child was curled up like a large broad bean, with a rosy and tender face.

Shen Qingzhou reached out and gently smoothed a few strands of her messy hair, then quietly got out of bed without waking her.

After saying hello to Aunt Zhao, who was making breakfast, he went straight out of the house, drove the welfare home's BYD car, and headed straight for Huaqiao Town.

Huaqiao Town belongs to Lanling County, Huinan City, so it is very close to Huinan City. Shen Qingzhou left the welfare home at seven o'clock and arrived in Huaqiao Town at seven fifty-five.

The entire town of Huaqiao has only about a thousand households, and it is oriented north-south, with a highway running through it.

So along the way, you can see farmers' markets, police stations, town courts, and town bus stations...

Then--

Shen Qingzhou almost crashed the car into the roadside guardrail.

Because he saw someone.

It was the curly-haired girl who was to have a ghost marriage with him.

This is a living, breathing person. With his level of cultivation, he shouldn't be unable to distinguish between a human and a ghost.
