Chapter 166 The Art of Freedom 8
Half a month has passed, and Ziyue has basically been able to handle the family business on her own. This is actually the result of Ziyue deliberately restraining her abilities and slowing down the pace.
Qing Wanjun is very proud of his daughter's excellence, and he has been smiling every day lately.
He was quite at ease letting Ziyue do whatever she wanted, and he was only responsible for securing the rear.
The Qing family has a variety of businesses, some of which are profitable, while others are not so profitable. Well, not that they are bad, but Ziyue feels there is still room for improvement.
Take, for example, the business of a clothing store.
Although the profits are not as good as those of the Qin family, they are still quite good.
Ziyue had specifically investigated the current market environment and visited various other shops.
After looking at some clothing patterns in her own shop, she made some improvements herself. In addition, she also designed some new clothing patterns herself, including cheongsams and Western-style dresses.
Her clothing designs are novel, diverse, and fashionable, and are very popular among wealthy ladies and young women.
In addition, she also created an employee training plan, providing professional training to employees in various stores, increasing the reward system, and improving services in all aspects, striving to make customers feel at home and focusing on a happy consumption experience.
Even if it costs money, we want customers to spend it happily and be satisfied; we absolutely guarantee to provide the emotional value they deserve.
The training is still ongoing, but it has already shown initial results.
Qing Wanjun saw all of this and strongly supported his daughter's ideas.
He proudly declared that his daughter had definitely inherited his business acumen, truly deserving of being called his precious daughter. She had surpassed her father, and he believed that the Qing family would reach even greater heights under Ziyue's leadership.
-
That day, Ziyue had just finished inspecting some shops, delivered some clothing patterns she had personally designed to a clothing store, checked the recent accounts, and left the clothing store. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
He immediately instructed the driver to go to the nearest German restaurant.
Inside the Western restaurant, Ziyue sat by the window, quietly waiting for her food, listening to the relaxing, light music coming from the gramophone.
He rested his chin on his hand and turned his head to look at the various figures of people coming and going on the street outside the window.
His gaze finally settled on a few children begging at the base of a wall.
Because these little beggars were so young and covered in dirt, it was impossible to tell their genders. Perhaps they dressed as boys to protect themselves.
How could there be no girls? You know, there are far more girls than boys who get abandoned.
This era is still one of clashes and transitions between old and new ideas. At least for 99 percent of the world's population, there is a strong preference for sons over daughters.
Sons are meant to inherit the family business and carry on the lineage, while daughters are considered to be like water spilled after marriage, rarely leaving their family business to their daughters unless they are an only child.
Even if a woman is an only daughter, there are still cases where she marries into a family and the family business is handed over to her son-in-law to manage.
Men like Qing Wanjun, who have absolutely no preference for sons over daughters, who are unwilling to remarry simply because they worry that their beloved daughter will be mistreated, who have no intention of having another son, who wholeheartedly raise their daughter, and who are willing to hand over the entire family business to their daughter, are truly a rare breed.
So she is very lucky to have such a father in this life.
-
The oldest of these little beggars looked to be under ten years old, and the youngest looked to be only two or three. They were still innocent and naive, and should have been at the age where they could have stayed by their parents' side and acted spoiled. However, they had already experienced a lot of hardships, seen a lot of cold looks, and tasted a lot of the ups and downs of life.
But there are countless beggars like this all over the country.
I recalled the conversation between Xiao Jiu'er and her when she returned to the space after her last mission.
-
"Host, congratulations on successfully completing the missions in five worlds. You can now activate the Merit Points System. You can check your Merit Points."
"Is the merit value the one I know, like in the novels I've read before, where I need to accumulate a lot of merit?"
"More or less, but you'll have to figure out the specifics yourself. Right now, you don't have a suitable cultivation method. Once you start practicing the immortal cultivation method, the higher your merit points, the smoother your cultivation will be. As long as your merit points are high enough, becoming a god in one fell swoop is not a dream."
Xiao Jiu'er's face flushed with excitement, because this was a rule set by the main god. Only if the host successfully passed through five small worlds and reached a certain amount of merit points could the merit point function be successfully activated after five small worlds. The system could not deliberately guide the host to accumulate merit points; everything depended on the host's own choice.
Therefore, it had never mentioned it to the host before.
Fortunately, his host, Xiao Jiu'er, was very capable. He didn't have to worry about anything, and his merit points increased directly.
Just like in the first post-apocalyptic world, although the host did not do much, the vaccine was developed a few years ahead of schedule because of the host, which preserved the human race. Therefore, the host also has some merit in saving the world.
After learning about the situation, Ziyue didn't pay much attention to it. She just followed the established procedures and continued to do things at her own pace.
As time travelers, they already possess endless lifespans. If they cultivate themselves into gods, they might also live as long as heaven and earth. What difference does it make?
Yes, there are still differences.
One relies on the system.
One relies on oneself.
Isn't the choice obvious?
Strengthening oneself is, of course, essential.
However, she wasn't in a hurry. Compared to those who only had one lifetime, she had already experienced several lifetimes, traveled to different worlds, seen different scenery, and gained a lot of love. She had already made a profit.
"However, host, you have accumulated merit points in every small world, some more and some less. You already have quite a lot of merit points now."
She doesn't have enough merit points yet. She needs a cultivation method that is completely suitable for her. This depends on fate. The cultivation methods in the merit point exchange system are not fixed. She has already looked at them. They are either extremely expensive or not suitable for her. Anyway, there is no rush.
As for the rest, she'll leave it to fate. She doesn't put pressure on herself or force herself; doing as she pleases and living a carefree life is what she has always pursued.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xiao Jiu'er's excited voice, almost splitting her legs, ringing in my ears, "Host, host, quickly look at the homepage of the merit point exchange system."
Hiss—Ziyue couldn't help but rub her ears, but obediently checked them.
Huh? This technique wasn't available just now? It suddenly appeared? And it only requires one merit point!!!
Is this for real? Is this for real? Is this for real?
Her mind was full of questions, but that didn't stop her from doing her job. She successfully exchanged this "Freedom Technique" for one merit point.
It's just one merit point anyway, so it's cheap.
It's like the cabbages by the roadside, given away for free.
After Ziyue successfully made the exchange, a golden light flashed and shot straight towards Ziyue's brow.
Ziyue immediately fainted.
Little Jiu blinked, then blinked again. Oh my! The host is so lucky! This is...
What followed was a pleasant surprise; these days, it really is possible for good fortune to just fall into your lap?
However, seeing her unconscious host, Xiao Jiu'er directed the lifelike robot Xingyue to take her into the room.
When Ziyue woke up two hours later, she lay in bed without moving, her mind filled with the content of the Freedom Technique.
The key to freedom, the key to freedom.
Be free and at ease, be at peace.
Free and at ease in this world.
Live a carefree and peaceful life.
A carefree life, a leisurely journey.
……
Perhaps it was due to her mindset at the time; one could say that the cultivation method automatically chose her, rather than her choosing it.
Like some divine artifacts in the world of cultivation, it will automatically choose its master, selecting a destined person to become its master.
Well, she's pretty lucky.
The Freedom Technique is a divine cultivation method that allows one to cultivate from an unknown person to a god. With this, she no longer needs to look at any other cultivation methods.
The Freedom Technique can cultivate the soul and the body, but it primarily focuses on cultivating the mind.
Being at ease, being at ease, it's easy to say but hard to do. What does it mean to be at ease?
Ziyue still remembers thinking about it for a long time at that time.
Back to the present——
