"Do you still remember what your original goal was after entering high school?" Liu Mingfei snapped his fingers, blocking the sound-collecting device in the dark.

Wen Xiaoqiang was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Liu Mingfei to ask such a question at this time.

In the past, all she wanted was to live a stable life, being a vase-like rich lady. Not taking responsibility and not doing anything were her greatest contributions to the family.

But these days, Liu Mingfei has been teaching her that she is an only child and needs to prepare for a rainy day, and that she will have to take over if something happens at home.

Originally, she had no confidence that she could lead an entire group, but today... Wen Xiaoqiang suddenly found that she could be pushed by Liu Mingfei to lead several people to solve puzzles all the way, and she succeeded in solving the puzzles all the way. This shows that she is not useless. At least there are people who are willing to believe in her.

Liu Mingfei observed Wen Xiaoqiang's expression. He knew that what the girl lacked most was recognition and confidence.

She has always wanted to gain recognition from her parents and others, which is crucial for a girl who has been under high pressure for a long time.

Therefore, Liu Mingfei brought her out. Even if it was trust and recognition from a stranger, it was a timely help for Wen Xiaoqiang.

"Wen Xiaoqiang, your current position is already the end point for many people. But since you're in this position, your gaze shouldn't stop at the time you were born. One day in the future, you'll take over the Wen Group. Thousands of people in the group depend on you for their livelihoods, and a single word from you could decide their life or death."

"And you are actually capable of leading them, and everyone will trust the elite education you received since childhood."

Wen Xiaoqiang pursed his lips and shook his head.

"I don't have the ability to lead the Wen family."

She believed that she had never received her father's recognition, so why should she take over the position of chairman from her father?

"Having the ability isn't just about talking; it's about actually doing it. You have to know that the best time to do something was ten years ago, the second best time is now. Hard work will eventually pay off."

Return?

Wen Xiaoqiang didn’t know whether hard work would really pay off, but maybe, as Liu Mingfei said, she hadn’t worked hard enough in the past, so she didn’t get recognition.

Maybe she should try again.

Even if they are not recognized, they should not be disappointed.

Wen Xiaoqiang suddenly stood up and was about to go back to study hard when he was suddenly stopped by Liu Mingfei.

"We're still in the game. We paid for it. It would be a shame to leave before we finish playing."

14. Prostitute

"I finally found you!"

"We're suffering. Without you, we can't even solve the puzzle!"

When Liu Mingfei, Wen Xiaoqiang and the three girls reunited, Yingying and Zhou Zhou immediately came up to them and cried, saying that they were like fools who couldn't live without them.

Wen Xiaoqiang behind her rolled her eyes, thinking that if they had shouted less, she wouldn't have been so scared and accidentally scratched her arm.

When playing in a haunted house or an escape room, what scares people is often not how scary the ghosts pretending to be the staff are.

But it was the screams of the stupid teammates.

Wen Xiaoqiang dared to say that if she was the only one playing, or if it was just her and Liu Mingfei playing, she would not be as embarrassed as she was just now.

But several times, the alarm sounded, and seeing the three girls howling in fear and running away made her nervous and scared as well.

Wen Xiaoqiang didn't want to pay attention to them, but there were several steps in the puzzle-solving process that required dialogue with the prison boss, that is, the NPC. She didn't want to talk to strangers, and those girls happened to be very outgoing, so it was somewhat helpful.

The division of labor was clear: she was responsible for solving puzzles, the three girls were responsible for communicating with NPCs, and Liu Mingfei was responsible for...

Liu Mingfei is responsible for being a vase.

After the one and a half hour horror book was over, Wen Xiaoqiang naturally didn't want to stay in the escape room hall any longer, because she found that there were also several graceful girls sitting in the front hall, but they looked more mature.

Judging from the way they talk and the way they speak, they should be girls who have just graduated from college.

Wen Xiaoqiang pulled Liu Mingfei away.

The hall smells of cigarettes, which she doesn't like.

As soon as he walked onto the street, Wen Xiaoqiang took off his mask and breathed in the fresh air.

"I really don't know why you would choose a place like this? There are obviously better escape rooms, but you insisted on choosing this one." Wen Xiaoqiang questioned.

Liu Mingfei burst out laughing.

"So do you think this horror book is fun?"

Wen Xiaoqiang folded his arms, his face puffed with anger.

"It's fun, but don't try to fool me with fun!"

In Wen Xiaoqiang's opinion, there must be a place that is both fun and clean, but Liu Mingfei deliberately doesn't take her there.

He just wanted to come over and meet those girls.

But Liu Mingfei just patted her shoulder.

"I'll explain it to you slowly. Let's go find a milk tea shop and talk while we drink."

……

With Wen Xiaoqiang's body management, she can only indulge herself with one cup of milk tea a week.

It just so happened that she hadn't had any drink this week, so when faced with Liu Mingfei's suggestion, she thought about it and didn't refuse.

So a man and a woman walked on the streets of the sea of clouds.

The weather was a little chilly, but they were wearing enough clothes when going out, so they didn't have to worry about catching a cold.

"Didn't you notice? Those girls just now were all actors."

Liu Mingfei said seriously, "They are deliberately pretending to be here for the first time to trick us scouts."

This is also the reason why there are several girls sitting in the narrow corridor, posing and dressed seductively.

Escape rooms usually start at the top of the hour, but he and Wen Xiaoqiang didn't arrive until 9:55 in the evening. How could it be so easy to gather everyone in just five minutes?

But it would be a waste not to make money from the money that is offered, so just ask the actors for help at this time.

"In this dark environment, if they wear revealing clothes and heavy makeup, customers will only focus on their figures and not remember their faces. Next time they come, they will naturally think they are strangers who are group shopping."

"Yingying and Zhouzhou are responsible for livening up the atmosphere, while the aloof Fangfang is responsible for providing clues on how to solve the puzzle."

Wen Xiaoqiang frowned slightly. She didn't expect those people to be actors.

She pouted.

"I don't like them. You didn't bring me out tonight just to see them, did you?"

Liu Mingfei chuckled, bought two cups of milk tea on the roadside, and handed one to Wen Xiaoqiang.

"Don't look down on me. I know that as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, you don't understand those girls who act as extras and dress so revealingly. But in the eyes of some people, those girls are simply Bodhisattvas."

"Buddha?"

“Yes, it’s the Bodhisattva.”

Liu Mingfei nodded slightly and pulled Wen Xiaoqiang to sit on a bench in the park.

"You may not know that in today's environment, not everyone has the opportunity to sit in the office and work leisurely while drinking tea."

“After all, only a few people can sit in the office. Most of them are the workers who just filled our milk tea boxes.”

Liu Mingfei's words were very sad, but they did not hurt Wen Xiaoqiang.

"They are who they are, what does it have to do with me?"

"It really has nothing to do with you right now." Liu Mingfei chuckled. "But have you ever thought about what it takes to secure an office and a high salary?"

Some people work themselves to death in the office, but their salary is far less than that of an experienced worker, but they earn more than several prestigious university graduates.

However, no matter how low the salary is, those prestigious university graduates can get an annual salary that ordinary people can't even dream of by working hard for a few years or even decades.

"Since only a few people are sitting in offices earning high salaries, what are the future prospects for ordinary students who have no family background, no connections, and poor academic performance?"

"In today's society, even if you work in an office and receive a minimum living allowance, you still need to have a decent resume."

"It's difficult to find a job in this environment, and there are many people who can't find a job. This is why there are so many couriers, food delivery drivers, milk tea girls, and the extras you just saw."

Liu Mingfei took a sip of milk tea.

"Don't underestimate those three girls. They just need to dress a little revealingly. It'll be easy for players to remember this place and remember that this escape room has beautiful women. Not only will they come next time, they'll also bring their friends along."

"She's visible and tangible, and in the dark she'll pretend to be subconsciously dependent on you. She's dressed coolly, too. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, where can you find a good girl like that?"

Bar chair 999999

Wen Xiaoqiang immediately stretched out his fist and hit Liu Mingfei's thigh.

"Then what they do is just like... and... and... that thing. Why do they do this?"

Wen Xiaoqiang naturally couldn't say that word, but she knew that Liu Mingfei must know it.

Liu Mingfei shook his head.

"Of course they don't do the kind of business you imagine. In places like this, the girls are definitely protected. They just come out to smile and have some ambiguous physical contact with the players, but they are much safer than the girls in commercial KTVs."

"You just need to dress revealingly, look seductive and alluring, pure and sweet, and be attractive."

"Of course, girls with a little education, a skill, and the ability to find better jobs wouldn't be interested in this kind of work, but in every industry, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will, and the salary isn't too low."

"Didn't you ask before, what would you do if you weren't the eldest daughter?"

Liu Mingfei put down the milk tea in his hand, turned his head and looked at Wen Xiaoqiang calmly.

"If you weren't the eldest lady, I might have seen you among those girls."

The old chair, the wine, the old

15. Cherish good girls and don’t waste bad girls

Wen Xiaoqiang's head buzzed for a while.

It took her a while to organize her response.

"What makes you say I would become a woman who sells her body? Even if I'm not a young lady, I can find a good job if I want, for example... for example..."

"Like what?"

Seeing Wen Xiaoqiang hesitating for a long time, Liu Mingfei smiled lightly and put the finished milk tea on the chair.

"Although there are people who need work in all walks of life, especially in the service industry, such as waiters, telephone customer service, or even milk tea girls, there's nothing wrong with these jobs, and there's no distinction between high and low jobs, but I guess you definitely don't want to work so hard."

"Who told you I was going to be one of those? I wanted to be a teacher. I can paint and play the piano!"

Wen Xiaoqiang stood with her hands on her hips. Before she entered high school, she was a master at oil painting, violin and piano.

But Liu Mingfei shook his head and sighed.

"Have you ever thought about how much it costs to learn these things? The average family can only afford you to learn one or two at most. Not to mention that you abandoned your skills after high school. Have you ever thought about how much effort it would take to pick them up again?"

What Liu Mingfei said was extremely accurate. Wen Xiaoqiang herself knew that her fingers had not touched a paintbrush or piano keys for two or three years.

"Even if I can't be a teacher, at least I can stay at home and do nothing. Can't I just stay at home and be a streamer?"

“Being a live streamer is the most unrealistic idea.”

"why?"

Wen Xiaoqiang folded his arms and pursed his lips.

Although she has never watched performances by female anchors, she has watched some gaming anchors.

With her gaming skills, she probably can't become a technical anchor, but I heard from several gaming friends that they would watch those virtual female anchors play games and listen to them sing.

Wen Xiaoqiang thinks that she is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and can play games, so isn’t that suitable for being a host?

"Let me ask you a question. Do you know how the anchor pushes the stream?" Liu Mingfei was furious.

Of course, Wen Xiaoqiang didn’t know the answer to this question, as she had never made any special effort to find out.

"The streamers you see on the homepage have either joined a guild or paid for push notifications out of their own pockets. If they haven't joined a guild or bought push notifications, how many of them can expect viewers to find the streamer on their own, click on them, and stay to watch them?"

It is true that some anchors are very good and lucky. They don’t buy push notifications, but happen to receive rewards from big brothers and get push notifications. But they are only a minority among the minority, and you can’t rely on luck.

"Why can't I join a guild, or buy push notifications?" Wen Xiaoqiang was puzzled.

"Because of the commission." Liu Mingfei said seriously.
