No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"Um..."

Jiang Shu first nodded to express his gratitude, then looked troubled:

"While I'm happy you said that, it's still a bit strange coming from your mouth..."

"What do you mean?" Shenji asked with some dissatisfaction. "Do you think I'm some kind of mean-spirited person? I'm very popular."

“That’s not what I meant,” Jiang Shu explained. “What I meant was, you look younger than me, and it feels really strange to be encouraged by you in such an elder-like tone.”

Shenji was taken aback, then said with a hint of surprise, "Really? Do I really look that young?"

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Shu sensed something was wrong.

"Um...it might be a bit impolite, but would it be convenient to ask your actual age?"

"What do you think?" Shenji blinked.

"How could I guess?" Jiang Shu looked her up and down, squinting as he said, "But if you only look at her appearance, she looks about the same as a female college student in her early twenties."

"Haha, is that so?" Shenji first covered his mouth and laughed, then coughed twice and said seriously, "Actually, I'm turning fifty this year."

These words startled Jiang Shu.

He had thought that Shenji might be much older than him, but he hadn't expected him to be this much older.

It's almost twice my own size.

If someone in their thirties had this youthful appearance and demeanor, Jiang Shu would say, "Sister, you're so youthful and energetic!"

But if she's still like this at fifty, then all I can say is that Liu Xiaoqing is truly remarkable.

So Jiang Shu subconsciously gave a thumbs up: "You're fifty years old and you can still use sanitary napkins? That's amazing!"

Shenji's brows furrowed slightly: "Why does this sound like a compliment to me?"

"No, fifty." Jiang Shu still found it hard to believe: "How did you do that?"

"I've used too many life-extending items." Shenji shrugged. "Although the lifespan that can be replenished is limited, it can keep my physical condition at its peak forever."

"The key is..."

Jiang Shu looked around at the dolls and figurines that could be seen everywhere in the room.

Many of them are old-fashioned characters from the last century. It makes you wonder how there are still young girls who can be so retro these days. They must really be from ancient times!

"She also has a very youthful mindset."

"Actually, as long as you avoid things that cause trouble, everyone's mindset will remain forever young."

Shenji said:

"That's why I opened this mental hospital."

"You drove it?" Jiang Shu was taken aback again.

He had always thought that Shenji was just a special patient here, but he never expected that she was both a patient and the hospital director.

"Yes, I drove it."

Shenji explained nonchalantly:

"After the accident, I didn't like to use my prosthetic leg unless necessary, so it was inconvenient for me to do anything."

So I was thinking of a way to do nothing and live a life where I could have everything done for me.

At first, I just wanted to hire a nanny.

But after looking around, I found that full-time nannies are very expensive. But there's no way around it, it's a necessity, so I'll just hire one. And since it's going to cost a lot of money anyway, I might as well just pick the best one. Since I'm already spending so much, why not spend a little more?

After hiring her, I thought to myself, "Wait a minute, it's such a waste of talent to have such an expensive, top-tier nanny working in my rented apartment of 70 or 80 square meters."

So I moved to a bigger house.

But after moving to a bigger house, I found that one nanny wasn't enough to handle everything.

What to do? Add more!

Then I formed a babysitting team.

Now that we have a team of nannies, shouldn't we also arrange for professional housekeepers, professional chefs, professional gardeners, and so on?

I simply provided everything.

This expenditure is too large, and for me, there is a lot of excess resources, which I feel is quite wasteful.

So I thought, well, it's the same whether I do it alone or a group of people do it. They're all professionals, so they'll definitely be able to handle it.

After that, I planned to open a shop specifically to serve people like me who have difficulty living, and to benefit everyone.

Of course, there's a fee. After all, the daily expenses of a professional team are not low, and even I'm struggling to keep up with the lottery.

Initially, I wanted to open a sanatorium.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that wouldn't work.

The sanatorium is full of sick patients who need to recuperate. They are uncomfortable every day, so the environment is bound to be very depressing. I don't like that kind of atmosphere.

Then I thought about opening a nursing home.

But it didn't work out.

I don't like people who have an overly old-fashioned demeanor either.

Finally, I thought about it and realized that mental hospitals are great.

The mentally ill have neither the diseases that cause them pain nor the gloomy atmosphere that comes with old age. Everyone is happy all day long and has no worries. The key is that they don't bother me. Everyone is immersed in their own world and has their own things to do.

So I opened this mental hospital in my private capacity.

Because our facilities were so good, we unexpectedly attracted a lot of business and became a model for mental hospitals in Tancheng.

To meet the demand, the original villas were continuously expanded, eventually becoming what they are today.

In this process, the initial nanny team gradually transformed into a more professional caregiver team, the housekeeper became a doctor, and the chef... well, still a chef.

As time went by, I somehow managed to turn this place into the second largest mental hospital in the province.

Strictly speaking, it could be ranked first, but as you know, it's like how every province must have a 211 university, even if that university might not actually be as good as the non-211 universities in other provinces, it still has to be there.

The top-ranked mental hospital in the province must also be public.

After a pause, Shenji continued:

"Then naturally, my mental hospital and I became more and more famous."

Later, many powerful evolved beings appeared who, unable to produce life-extending items, offered to work at my mental hospital in exchange for me calculating the answers they wanted to know.

For example, the person who brought you in today is a medical doctor and a level 10 evolved being. I really have no reason not to use him.

Besides him, I have many other people like him here.

Before I knew it, my place had become a very special organization of evolved beings.

This place is almost entirely populated by elites from both the real world and the evolutionary realm. Although we won't participate in the battles that other evolved beings try to stop, no one dares to ignore us.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu remained silent for a long time: "You mean... you actually just wanted to slack off and find someone to serve you?"

“Yes.” Shenji nodded: “I didn’t expect the result to be like this. Although it cost a lot of money at the beginning, we actually made a profit in the end.”

"Is it because those pillars of society are paying off their debts to you by working for free?"

"Actually, I will still give you something, even if the salary is not much, it's just my way of showing my appreciation."

"But since you're already making a profit, why are you still buying lottery tickets?" Jiang Shu couldn't understand.

"Although there is some profit to be made, the costs are still there, so the profit is not much."

Shenji Xiaoxiao:

"The lottery winnings are mainly used for charity in the name of the mental hospital, such as donations or organizing relief activities."

I thought if I did more good deeds, maybe I could find a way to heal my leg sooner.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu was taken aback.

It was so...

No wonder those people who should have shone brightly wherever they went were willing to work for her.

It's important to understand that once the pie has been given away, it's very difficult to truly retain people. Even if these people initially stayed because the diviner helped them resolve their doubts, over time they will inevitably have other thoughts and become dissatisfied with the status quo.

This is human nature.

The fact that they stayed and formed such a powerful organization only proves that Shenji truly had reasons worth following.

It's not just her strength, but also her kindness.

Although she had ulterior motives, her contributions cannot be denied.

A gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions.

Noticing the change in Jiang Shu's gaze and attitude, Shenji smiled and asked, "By the way, would you be interested in joining our charity work in your spare time? Don't worry, it won't affect your main job."

"Hmm... I think I'll pass." Jiang Shu shook her head decisively.

I may be moved and I may agree with him, but if you ask him if he'll actually join in, he absolutely won't.

It's not that he's unwilling to do good deeds.

However, he has a very clear understanding of himself.

His ideological awareness isn't that high, so he definitely won't be able to persevere. Therefore, rather than giving up halfway, it's better to give up from the beginning.

"Is that so? That's a real shame..."

Shenji didn't insist, but he left room for maneuver:

"But if you'd like to experience it anytime, just let me know."

"Okay, sure." Jiang Shu readily agreed.

After all, saying something like "I'll treat you to dinner next time" is just a way to have some fun and that's it.

Seeing that the meeting was about to come to a satisfactory conclusion, Jiang Shu stood up from the sofa.

"I see it's getting late, so I'll head back now."

"Hmm." Shenji nodded first, then suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, if you decide to see Wuyi, could you tell me and take me with you?"

"Huh?" Jiang Shu asked, puzzled. "Why?"

"Because we get along really well." Shenji smiled, but there was a hint of slyness in his eyes. "Isn't it because I was afraid you'd be nervous? Wuyi and I have a pretty good relationship, so I can help protect you."

"Is that so? Well, it's not that bad..."

dong dong dong.

Before Jiang Shu could finish speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

The two looked at the gate at the same time, and then Jiang Shu nodded to Shenji: "Then you go ahead and get busy."

"Wait a minute." Shenji called out to Jiang Shu, then seemed to use some kind of skill on him, and said, "Alright, your outward charm has been temporarily sealed, so you don't have to worry about affecting others."

"You're so thoughtful." Jiang Shu felt much more relieved.

Shenji then said to the person outside the door, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Jiang Shu, who had already reached the door, turned to the side, intending to wait for the people outside to come in before going out.

But the next second, he was quite surprised.

Even more surprised than him was Wang Tiezhu outside the door.

"Hot teacher, what are you doing here?"

She looked at Shenji with utter astonishment:

"Teacher, do you know each other?"

"Teacher?" Jiang Shu looked at Shenji in confusion.

Shenji stared at Jiang Shu, then, as if realizing something, exclaimed in surprise, "You're that... La Li Bu Ke Yi?"

"Uh..." Jiang Shu scratched his head: "So you didn't know?"

Shenji finally realized that he seemed to have overlooked something important, and said helplessly, "I don't know. Since you have a title, I naturally didn't count your ID back then."
