Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1936 - 1938: Good Luck?

Yu Qingzhu was truly embarrassed today; not only was she reprimanded in person, but the person selected by the family was also rejected.

So, she could only honestly report to her parents and Yu Zuosi’s parents — everyone was in the town at the moment.

Yu Zhiyuan was really puzzled, "Rejected without giving a reason?"

The Yu family members were all quite helpless; this attitude towards the Yu Family was really a bit of a slap in the face.

However, despite being depressed, Yu Qingzhu still gave a standard answer, "Anyway, with the capabilities of the eldest, it’s normal for him to say these things."

Yu Zuosi’s father couldn’t hold back, "Didn’t he announce that the recommender would be responsible? Qingzhu, you can explain..."

"It’s useless," Yu Qingzhu shook her head and spoke blandly, "He vetoed it before I had even reached the stage of making a promise."

"Forget it," Yu Zuosi sighed, being quite forthright, "I just don’t have this fate, it’s fine. Fortunes like this can’t be forced. This time you can recommend Xiang Hua."

Xiang Hua was another member of the Yu family, but Yu Qingzhu shook her head, "Didn’t you hear? He doesn’t seem to want two people with the surname Yu; our family might already be in trouble, and I don’t want to be rejected again."

Yu Zhiyuan frowned, "Why doesn’t he want two people with the surname Yu?"

After understanding what had happened, he couldn’t help but snort coldly, "And it’s okay to have two people with the surname Zhang?"

In his heart, he actually understood that Feng Jun meant that the Yu family should stay low-key, but... the Yu family had already started a comprehensive contraction, switching its main focus to business, so in non-primary areas, there was no need to be too cautious.

In fact, if they could focus their main efforts on cooperating with Luohua, with Feng Jun’s strong influence supporting them, coupled with the bulk commodities that could be considered strategic resources, the Yu family could live very well. Why bother with anything else?

Yu Zhiyuan felt it was necessary to explain this matter to Feng Jun, "I’ll go talk to him."

"There’s no need," Yu Qingzhu stopped her father; she understood Feng Jun’s personality too well, "He won’t change his mind."

Yu Zuosi also nodded; today’s incident left him quite disappointed and feeling embarrassed, but his mentality was indeed stronger than most people, "He and I are the same kind of person, but... who is Xia Xiaoyu?"

Xia Xiaoyu... even Yu Zhiyuan knew this name, and he couldn’t help but question suspiciously, "What’s with her?"

Yu Zuosi recounted the afternoon’s events in full, "I don’t know why Qingzhu suddenly mentioned her."

Yu Zhiyuan glanced thoughtfully at his daughter, but he felt that certain words were not suitable for him as a father to say, so he looked at his wife.

The couple had a considerable tacit understanding; the wife asked in a deep voice, "Why do you think he would care about Xia Xiaoyu?"

Yu Qingzhu pondered for a moment and still replied in a deep voice, "He acknowledged Yang Yuxi, and Gu Changsheng was rejected."

"I could see that clearly," Yu Zuosi couldn’t help but speak out, "It was obviously the Gu family’s own choice."

"You’re too full of yourself," his father interjected, "Can you see if people just make a random hint?"

Yu Zuosi fell silent; he thought he understood Feng Jun well enough, such a proud person shouldn’t do such things, but since his father spoke, he had to shut up — wasn’t today’s incident embarrassing enough?

Yu Qingzhu’s mother turned her head to look at her husband and spoke meaningfully, "This young man... has a preference for women?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Yu Zhiyuan glared at her in fright, "Aren’t you afraid of being overheard saying that outside his door?"

However, he couldn’t completely deny his wife’s question and could only cough lightly, "The Daoist sects and the Buddhist sects are different; they talk about the harmony of Yin and Yang, this is originally the Great Dao of heaven and earth, what’s so strange about it?"

In the end, he still tacitly acknowledged that Feng Jun had many women — he hadn’t been to Luohua just three or five times, even if he were blind, there were still guards and healthcare doctors around the elder.

Yu Zuosi’s mom understood in a second and said meaningfully, "Yang Yuxin really knows how to go all out."

This statement was a bit suggestive, but no one present spoke.

After a long time, Yu Qingzhu steeled her heart, "Forget it, I’ll introduce Xia Xiaoyu, whether he has that intention or not."

"Might as well," Yu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement; he was actually a bit worried about his daughter’s state. By introducing Xia Xiaoyu this time, maybe his daughter could escape Feng Jun’s hold, "She is your best friend."

Before Yu Qingzhu could speak, her mother spoke up again, "Now that I think about it, this time most of the people selected are women; aside from Zuosi, it seems like only one retired soldier is male."

Yu Qingzhu was completely silent, and after a while, she turned and went out to make a phone call.

At the same time, Teacher Mei was struggling with who to invite in the end. She made a decision... how about inviting her best friend?

Among her friends, some have happy family lives where husband and wife are loving, though the kids are still young. There are also those whose relationships are strained, nearly separated, but are a bit unconventional in their ways, with a rather quirky mindset.

Just then, her mobile phone rang; it was her guzheng teacher again, who wanted to know if the spot was still available. His niece, Zhong Lijing, was quite interested.

Mei Jin had often visited her teacher’s home in the past and had met his niece several times. The girl wasn’t studying vocal music but rather Chinese literature. Both of her parents died when she was young, and her grandparents also passed away early. She was mostly raised by her grandfather, who was also the teacher’s father. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Zhong Lijing growing up in such a family environment didn’t fall into depression or anything, which was already quite admirable. Fortunately, the teacher’s sisters were good to her.

Director Mei was a bit curious, "Isn’t Lijing teaching in Lin An? Is she giving up her position?"

Zhong Lijing herself is registered in Lin An. She attended university in the Magic City and returned to Lin An last year to work as a middle school teacher.

"Don’t even mention it," the teacher sighed, "The child went through a breakup and wants a change of environment..."

Feng Jing’s lips twitched slightly, "Lijing is such a beauty, and she can still have a breakup?"

It wasn’t an exaggeration; whether in looks or figure, Zhong Lijing was top-notch. When she was in college, countless people wanted to pursue her. However, she was quite guarded and stated that after graduation, she would return to Lin An to care for her grandfather.

Therefore, she didn’t have a boyfriend during college, went through quite a bit of harassment, luckily, this traditional music teacher had a lot of influence in the cultural circle and exerted influence over the school to protect her.

The teacher sighed helplessly, "It’s true she’s pretty, but there are always some rumors entangling her. You know that."

Actually, Feng Jing did know some things regarding this situation because as Zhong Lijing’s relatives passed away one by one, many people spread rumors saying she was a "Jinx," who caused the death of her parents and later her grandparents, leading people in Lin An to be reluctant to associate with her.

In truth, she herself harbored doubts in her heart, leading to years of depression. In her spare time, she would often worship Buddha and practice Daoist rituals as if seeking redemption for her sins.

"Then let her come," Director Mei knew quite a bit about the girl’s situation. Without the teacher’s recommendation, she would not have considered her, but once the teacher recommended her, she thought the girl’s qualifications were sufficient.

Yu Qingzhu hadn’t contacted Xia Xiaoyu that day, but she wasn’t in a rush, being preoccupied with other issues.

Approaching noon the next day, as she was planning to have lunch with her parents, she suddenly saw Mei Jin’s car pulling in, parking in front of the Xiuzhen Courtyard. Two people got out of the car, one of whom was Mei Jin, and the other was an unknown beautiful woman.

If even Yu Qingzhu thought she was beautiful, her looks were undeniably stunning. The two women approached and knocked on the door of the Xiuzhen Courtyard. Mei Jin introduced the woman to the guard, clearly intending for her to enter.

In fact, Director Mei was responsible for the courtyard, so such introductions were just a formality.

Seeing this, Yu Qingzhu waved from the car window, "Senior Sister Mei... who is this?"

"Hey, Lijing, come over," Director Mei motioned for the woman to come over to Yu Qingzhu’s car, "this is Sister Qingzhu, Luohua’s number one beauty. This is Zhong Lijing, the newcomer I recommended, just picked up from the airport."

"I doubt I am the number one beauty," Yu Qingzhu laughed, opened the car door, got out, and extended her hand to shake theirs, "Welcome to Luohua, lucky little beauty."

Zhong Lijing furrowed her brow, "Lucky... are you referring to me?"

"Of course," Yu Qingzhu uttered two words, noticing the other party seemed puzzled, clearly indicating that Teacher Mei had concealed something, but that was quite normal. Luohua always emphasized keeping things under wraps, like when Liang Siyu came before, asking questions for a long time.

Not knowing what Teacher Mei had told her, she decided not to continue the conversation to avoid contradictions.

So, she nodded at Teacher Mei, "Senior Sister Mei, you’re busy. I’m going to have lunch with my parents."

"Alright," Teacher Mei nodded, got into the car, and drove Zhong Lijing into the courtyard.

Zhong Lijing wasn’t a stranger to Teacher Mei and had quite a good impression of her, so she asked, "That Sister Qingzhu is indeed pretty, but she seems... a bit proud?"

"With such good family conditions and beauty, anyone would have a bit of pride," Feng Jing answered casually, "But I must emphasize again, this place requires a high degree of confidentiality... if you can’t keep it, you’ll implicate me. Are you sure you can handle it?"

"Don’t worry, Sister Mei, I would rather die than implicate you," Zhong Lijing responded casually, sounding bizarre coming from such a beautiful girl to speak of life and death so openly.

Mei Jin had seen her many times, yet hadn’t noticed she had such a mindset—in the past, she had been quiet and didn’t communicate well with others, likely due to lack of interaction.

Nonetheless, it could be seen as a pure-hearted nature, Director Mei shook her head, "No need for such pressure; coming here is a good thing. Initially, I wanted to recommend your cousin, but he didn’t want to come, so it’s his loss."

"Hmm?" Zhong Lijing’s eyes brightened at this, "So, what Sister Qingzhu said about my good luck is true?"

She really couldn’t stand the mention of the word "luck."
