Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 91: The Sober Heroine of the Period Literature

Because of his parents' bad family background, Du Xiaofeng was sent to Sichuan Province, thousands of miles away from home, for reform.

There he met Huo Xiaoyan, a country girl. They fell in love, got married, and had a child.

Five years later, the Du family was rehabilitated, and Du Xiaofeng returned to the city with his wife and children.

At first, Du's parents didn't approve of Huo Xiaoyan. They were both university teachers, Du Xiaofeng was also a university graduate, while Huo Xiaoyan hadn't even graduated from elementary school. How could the two of them be a good match?

Huo Xiaoyan understood all of this. From another perspective, if her son wanted to marry someone whose status, background, and education didn't match his, she certainly wouldn't want to.

Fortunately, Huo Xiaoyan is a good cook, which gradually made the family members who are not good at cooking accept her.

Huo Xiaoyan knew that this was only temporary.

She began to think about studying on her own and applying to adult college. Unfortunately, she wasn't a student. After a year of studying, she didn't even pass the exam. This left her feeling frustrated.

At this time, Du Xiaofeng had been promoted from deputy director to director. He had more and more social engagements, came home later and later, and the two communicated less and less.

Huo Xiaoyan began to face herself. One day, she passed by a restaurant and saw that they were hiring chefs. She couldn't help but go in and try.

At that time, there were very few Sichuan restaurants in the city. The boss ate her food and praised it highly, and invited her to work, with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. This was already very good.

But Huo Xiaoyan had her own ideas. After working part-time at the restaurant for a while, she returned home for some business. As a result, her boss's business dropped significantly during that time.

After seeing her return, the boss begged her to come back to work. Huo Xiaoyan said she didn't want a salary, just a share of the profits. The boss agreed.

In this way, she quickly accumulated her first pot of gold.

After the contract expired, she opened her first Sichuan restaurant, followed by a hot pot restaurant. Business was booming, and she later expanded into a chain of restaurants and hot pot restaurants. She even made the cover of a newspaper that year.

It took me 15 years, from starting out working in a restaurant and facing the lack of understanding from my family, to becoming successful and famous today.

During this period, she divorced Du Xiaofeng, and for the sake of her son's education, her son followed Du Xiaofeng.

After Du Xiaofeng got promoted, he received more and more compliments, and he became more and more arrogant. He later resigned and went into business. Thanks to his interpersonal relationships, he soon became a millionaire.

But he became more and more daring and started to evade taxes. Later, he was reported and his company went bankrupt.

He wanted to make a comeback and asked Huo Xiaoyan to borrow money. Huo Xiaoyan asked him what project he wanted to work on. He hesitated and couldn't answer. Huo Xiaoyan didn't lend him the money, which made Du Xiaofeng hate himself.

Huo Xiaoyan was also present at her son's wedding. Seeing her son getting married, she was very happy and drank a few more glasses.

Unexpectedly, on her way home, she was hit by Du Xiaofeng's car. Both the driver and she died on the spot.

"I want him to die miserably!"

"As you wish," Ginger disappeared.

……

"Xiaoyan, how have you been these past few years?" Du Xiaofeng looked at Sheng Jiang in front of him. She was completely different from the country bumpkin and the housewife who wore an apron every day. She was like two different people.

"It's pretty good. No in-laws to wait on me, no children to bother me, no husband to look down on me. Life is so wonderful!"

Ginger looked at the man in a suit and tie, looking very respectable. "I heard your company went bankrupt? Congratulations."

Du Xiaofeng: ...

"Xiaoyan," Du Xiaofeng said with a wry smile, "maybe I'm not destined to get rich. But you, on the other hand, are completely different now than you were 15 years ago when you first arrived here. No one would have thought that the little girl from the countryside would now be making headlines in a first-tier city. It's truly inspiring."

"Du Xiaofeng, if you have something to say, please speak up. I have something else to do."

Du Xiaofeng took out a necklace and said, "Xiaoyan, this is the style you loved most 10 years ago. We were still married then, and I wanted to buy it for you, but I didn't have much money..."

Ginger scoffed, "Is it because you don't have money, or do you think I'm unworthy?"

Seeing Du Xiaofeng was about to say something, he said, "Alright, you don't need to explain. You thought I was unworthy before, but now you are not worthy of me. Hurry up and get your things and get out!"

"Wait. Xiaoyan, I have something good to tell you. I've found a great project and would like to invest with you."

"No money! No investment! Security! Get him out!"

As Du Xiaofeng was being pushed out, he shouted to Sheng Jiang, "Xiaoyan, I'm telling the truth. As long as you invest, you'll get a 50% return."

How dare you trick me into joining a pyramid scheme? You must be tired of living!

Sheng Jiang stuffed a rag into his mouth and said, "Stop talking nonsense! How could such a good thing happen in this world? If we cheat innocent people, will our store's reputation still be in jeopardy?"

Du Xiaofeng was kicked out and fell flat on his face.

At night, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, they put a sack on Du Xiaofeng and beat him beyond recognition.

In this day and age, there is no surveillance. Du Xiaofeng called the police, but they couldn't find the person.

Sheng Jiang thought he could stay quiet for a few days, but unexpectedly, he was an indestructible cockroach. He came to find Sheng Jiang again as soon as his injury healed.

"Okay, okay, okay, that's how we play it, right? It's time for Qingqing to take the stage!"

"I slowly listened to the sound of snow falling

Close your eyes and imagine that it will never stop

You can't get close to me, it's not because you are too heartless

Just greedy for the beautiful scenery outside the window

I slowly savor the sound of falling snow

It seems that you stick to me and call me Qingqing

I opened my eyes and saw the snow all over the sky

Who will accompany me in this good life..."

When Du Xiaofeng arrived, it was snowing. Suddenly, he saw a young girl in the store, wiping the table and singing. The lyrics of the song were so suitable for his current mood.

He couldn't believe Huo Xiaoyan was so heartless towards him. He remembered how, no matter how late he came home, there was always food for him at home, even if he had already eaten out. After their divorce, when he lived away from home for years, she would still bring gifts to their house during the holidays and prepare a large table of her specialties...

Sheng Jiang: You're seriously sick in the head! Even if they get divorced, the son is still her biological child. Besides, her in-laws haven't been harsh on her, and she's not a bad person. There's no need to become so estranged just because of a divorce. Besides, they still have a son.

She remembered that when they divorced, Du Xiaofeng felt his dignity was challenged and firmly disagreed. It was her in-laws who held her hand and said, "You've been married for so many years. We looked down on you because of your low education, but we've seen all your contributions to the family over the years. It's Xiaofeng who hasn't had this blessing, and he's let you down. If you choose to divorce, we have no objection. Just come back often to see us and our children."

So, she often went out to visit during festivals and holidays. She didn't have many relatives in this city anyway.

When Du Xiaofeng saw the singing girl's face, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs almost popped out, and his saliva was streaming.

Sheng Jiang scolded him, "Du Xiaofeng! Your old habit has come back again! Be careful or I'll tell your parents and beat you up even more!"

"No, hey, Xiaoyan, I just have the desire but not the courage."

"乀(ˉeˉ乀) get out! You've already cheated on me, and you still dare to say you don't have the guts?" Sheng Jiang hit him directly with a rolling pin.

At this time, someone called out to Sheng Jiang, who glared at Du Xiaofeng pretentiously, "Hmph! If you dare to do anything stupid again, I'll beat you to death!"

Du Xiaofeng: Why does this woman feel so hurt when she hits people now? No wonder she can't get married after the divorce.

Seeing the singing girl again, he asked, "Sister, I think I've seen this girl somewhere before."

The little girl giggled, "Next, are you going to say that although we haven't met, I think your face looks familiar, and I think we're old acquaintances. So today we can just treat it as a reunion after a long separation, and that's not a bad idea?"

"What's your name, little sister?"

"Qing Qing"

"What a great name!" Du Xiaofeng excitedly said, "What is Youth?"

"Double Ten"

Du Xiaofeng: This little sister seems to have fallen from the sky, she is so lovable.

After that, he completely forgot about the purpose of looking for Jiang, and chatted with Qingqing every day, or took her out to play.

Qingqing: Hehe, the fish is hooked.

That day, Du Xiaofeng came to the restaurant to find Qingqing as usual, but found that Qingqing was not there, only Sheng Jiang was there.

He was anxious and asked Sheng Jiang, "Where is Qingqing?"

Sheng Jiang, "What are you doing? Qingqing went to study in another province, and she's just working here."

Du Xiaofeng suddenly felt extremely lost. Just when he was feeling depressed, Sheng Jiang came over and handed him a note.

Du Xiaofeng opened it and saw a message from Qingqing: "Thank you for your company during this time. I'm very happy, but I have to pursue my own dreams. If you want to find me, come to xx city. I'll be waiting for you."

Du Xiaofeng was instantly overjoyed and immediately bought a ticket and rushed over.

As soon as he got off the train, he saw Qingqing holding a sign that said "Welcome Du Xiaofeng", which moved him like a fool.

Qingqing enthusiastically took him by the hand, introducing the local customs and practices, and said, "You have so many things, let me help you carry some." By the way, she stole Du Xiaofeng's wallet, ID card, and bank card.

When I took him to the rental house, I saw two strangers. Qingqing introduced them as "our roommates."

"Aren't you in school? Why don't you live in the dormitory?"

"The dormitory isn't as convenient as here. Besides, we're all like-minded and working on a big project together. It's very profitable."

The two people also agreed, very enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, you are the Du Xiaofeng that Qingqing often mentioned, right? Come, drink some water first. Sit down and let's talk."

Du Xiaofeng, "Won't that delay your schooling?"

"Going to school and making money don't conflict with each other."

The next day, Qingqing took Du Xiaofeng to other places and met other people. They said that the big boss would come over next week and they would discuss this big project together.

Du Xiaofeng felt something was wrong and wanted to leave. But Qingqing pestered him and wouldn't let him go. She then said coquettishly, "At least wait for the big boss to come over so they can hear about the project. If it really can't make money, it won't be too late to leave later."

Du Xiaofeng agreed.

On this day, a lot of people appeared out of nowhere, and they were crowded at the hotel entrance, as if they were welcoming some important person.

After a while, a luxury car drove up and a man who looked like a bodyguard got out of the car. He quickly walked to the door, bent down slightly, opened the door, put his hand on the door, and greeted a woman with big wavy hair in a suit and short skirt.

There was a lot of screaming at the scene.

The lecturer at the side calmed down the restless crowd and began her performance, "Dear bosses, dear new friends, do you want to succeed?"

The crowd yelled, “Think!”

"Will you succeed?"

"meeting!"

"In this world, there are no unsuccessful things, only unsuccessful people! The wise create opportunities, the brave seize them! Can you seize the opportunity?"

"can!"

The passionate speech made everyone excited and felt that they were about to succeed.

"Opportunities and wealth belong to those who have courage and insight! Do you have it?"

"I do! I do!"

In fact, these people may not be unaware that this is a brainwashing class, but it cannot stop their dream of getting rich.

"So today, I'm going to give this opportunity to this beautiful girl who is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when she sees them, and tires burst when cars see her. Let her make a shining debut!"

A beautiful woman walked onto the stage and said excitedly, "Dear bosses, distinguished elites, and dear friends, thank you for giving me the opportunity to perform."

The lecturer asked, “Do you want to be a millionaire?”

Beauty, "I dream about it!"

The lecturer then asked the audience, "Do you want to become a millionaire?"

The audience: “I want to!”

"Now there is an opportunity to make a fortune, are you willing?"

"willing!"

The lecturer looked at the beautiful woman and asked, "If I had 100 million now, would you dare to take it?"

The beauty said nothing, hesitated, and lowered her head.

"That's your weakness. You don't dare to take it. You have no courage or insight! You need to adapt to this environment, not let the environment adapt to you!"

The beauty seemed to be inspired, "So what should I do now?"

"Dare to challenge yourself!" The lecturer then shouted to the audience, "Now, which handsome man is willing to lend a hand to help this beautiful woman?"

"I do! I do!"

Finally, the lecturer picked an ugly man.

"Now, do you dare to kiss the beautiful lady opposite?"

Seeing the man hesitate, the lecturer started shouting again, "Today, if you don't dare to kiss her, you will never succeed in your life! You will be a pauper all your life!"

The man excitedly stepped forward and kissed the beauty amid everyone's exclamations.

Suddenly, the meeting reached its climax.

Everyone fantasizes about handsome men and beautiful women and imagines themselves to be millionaires.

Du Xiaofeng knew it was a pyramid scheme, a form of brainwashing, but he was still drawn in by the atmosphere. He excitedly wondered, "How many people should I bring over?"

With Jiang around, he couldn't make a single phone call. In the end, of course, he didn't get a single call.

Then his superiors started asking him to buy it himself, but he had no money.

Two months later, the group finally lost their patience and beat Du Xiaofeng until his head was bleeding and his legs were broken.

Ginger: Well done! I told you to hit someone with your car? Your legs will be broken for the rest of your life. How can you drive?

Sheng Jiang thoughtfully called the police. Everyone was sent to the police station, except Du Xiaofeng.

As for where Du Xiaofeng went, he was sent to work in an illegal coal mine to earn money.

After working for a while, he reported the black factory.

He changed to another shady place, continued to work, and continued to be reported.

More than a decade passed like this, and Du Xiaofeng finally died. He felt something was amiss, but unfortunately, no one could explain it to him.

And Jiang, because he often did good deeds, was ranked first on the list of influential people of the year.
