Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 9 Travel Partner
Li Xingying's car is an ORA Lightning Cat, a new energy vehicle produced by Great Wall.

She is very good-looking and is loved by little girls.

With her current income, it is already very good for her to drive a new energy vehicle worth tens of thousands of yuan.

"Mr. Jiang, please don't be disgusted." Li Xingying smiled and invited Jiang Beicheng to get in her car.

"I'm more concerned about driving skills," Jiang Beicheng joked.

"We will definitely reach our destination safely," Li Xingying said confidently.

After leaving Li Ji, the two went directly to the Harley-Davidson flagship store in Jiangnan City.

The boss Shan Gui sent him a message saying that his Harley Fat Boy had been serviced and asked him to come over to pick up the car and have lunch together.

Jiang Beicheng and Li Xingying were a little hungry as they hadn't eaten much at Li's just now.

“The environment here is so great.”

Li Xingying stopped the driveway.

The Harley-Davidson flagship store is located in a high-end residential area in the national-level new district of Jiangnan City.

It is close to the city’s largest green park and there is an artificial lake at the doorstep.

When they arrived at Jiangbei City, a group of Harley veterans were sitting by the lake, eating hot pot under the canopy.

"Mountain ghost, Lao Pi..."

Jiang Beicheng walked over with Li Xingying and called out to her.

"You change girlfriends so quickly. We thought you couldn't get over what happened with President Jiang. Now it seems we were worrying too much.

Just let it go, and live well while you're still alive." Shan Gui, the owner of the Harley flagship store, smiled and patted Jiang Beicheng on the shoulder.

"Brother Gui has always been very clear-headed." Jiang Beicheng smiled and introduced Li Xingying to them.

Li Xingying smiled politely and respectfully called him "Brother Gui".

"Brother Jiang, here you go." Another veteran, Lao Pi, opened the cigar box, took out a Romeo and Juliet and handed it to Jiang Beicheng.

"Lao Pi's taste has changed. I have to remember that next time I ask you to cut my hair, I will prepare it for you in advance." Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

While cutting a cigar, he said to Li Xingying, "Lao Pi is a famous stylist in the fashion circle. He used to style the styles of top stars, but later he took the blame for others and retired from the industry.

After spending some time in the internet celebrity circle, I realized that those internet celebrities who knew nothing about fashion were even harder to please than celebrities, so I decided to retire early and go home to enjoy my retirement.

"Semi-retired," Lao Pi said with a smile.

"Hello, Brother Pi," Li Xingying greeted politely.

"If you want a haircut or styling, you can ask him for it," Jiang Beicheng said. "He's much better than the head stylists at those internet celebrity shops. He's not even on the same level at all.

But you have to make a reservation in advance.

Lao Pi is only open three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and it serves two people a day for haircuts and one person a day for styling.

Li Xingying understood that Lao Pi had already achieved financial freedom a long time ago, and he continued to operate the business just because he didn't want his skills to become unpopular. However, for a stylist of his level, the people queuing up for appointments should be the wealthy ladies of Jiangnan City.

"I guess the queue will be until next year?" Li Xingying said with a smile.

It's also a compliment to Lao Pi.

Lao Pi smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, you don't need to make an appointment if you want to get a haircut. Just give Brother Xiao Jiang a call. I'll also give you a box of Cohiba cigars."

"They are all small things," Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

With the system and money, Jiangbei City has the confidence to continue to mingle in these underworld circles.

Li Xingying was eating and joining in the conversation, wondering how stupid or realistic Zhou Yu must be to choose to break up with Jiang Beicheng?

Could Zeng Haifeng, the weak man she just hooked up with today, who was silenced by Jiang Beicheng with a few words, really help her mix in the social circle of Jiangnan City?

Day dreaming.

Although she was just Jiang Beicheng's friend, she felt comfortable adapting to and integrating into these circles with Jiang Beicheng, and she also felt a small sense of accomplishment. After dinner, Li Xingying did not interrupt Jiang Beicheng and the others' conversation and went for a walk by the lake alone.

Lao Pi and a few Harley old friends drank some strong wine at noon and were in high spirits. They said they wanted to go for a foot bath early. At 3:30, the foot bath shop was in the middle of the shift, so a few old friends made an appointment to go for a foot bath.

I guess I'll lie in the store for the whole afternoon after taking a shower, come out to continue drinking in the evening, and then take a bath after drinking, and the day will end successfully.

Jiang Beicheng wanted to ride a bike and didn't drink with the guests. After seeing Lao Pi and the others off, he walked to the lake.

Li Xingying tilted her head and smiled at him, "You have so many friends.

Everyone is very welcoming and it’s easy to get along with them.”

Jiang Beicheng said: "I had a lot of bad friends before, but now those who stay by my side are considered true friends.

They either gather together for a common hobby, or simply to pursue that underworld atmosphere.”

"The spirit of the Jianghu sounds very free." Li Xingying turned and walked towards Jiang Beicheng, suddenly calling out "Teacher Jiang," "Teacher Jiang, can Xiao Li ask you for advice on a career issue?"

Jiang Beicheng was amused by her tone, "I follow you and I've watched all your videos.

To be honest, your personal competitiveness is relatively weak in this track.

When it comes to photography, you can’t compete with professional teams, and when it comes to operations, you can’t compete with those MCNs.

The only way to break through is to work hard on the copywriting."

Li Xingying nodded repeatedly.

Every word Jiang Beicheng said hit the nail on the head.

The field of travel bloggers is very competitive now. Those professional photographers have cameras worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some even have 4K and 8K high-definition images.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are bloggers who have played with movie lenses worth millions.

Her ordinary filming equipment is definitely no match for it.

Not to mention the operations, she is just a rookie in front of MCN.

I feel that my writing style is my advantage.

But the recent response has not been very good. Not only is the video data not good, but I also have some difficulty writing the copy myself.

Jiang Beicheng continued, "Your writing is beautiful, but not stunning.

Video copywriting is not just about writing based on pictures. You have to write to the hearts of more people in order to break through the traffic bottleneck.

Your biggest problem now is that you can neither go up nor down."

Li Xingying looked at Jiang Beicheng and listened attentively.

"It's not good enough because it lacks literary quality and is not worthy of being presented in a formal audience. It's not good enough because it lacks the fireworks and is difficult to resonate with ordinary people." Jiang Beicheng helped her analyze.

Her eyes gradually became a little admiring.

I feel like everything Jiang Beicheng said makes sense.

"Teacher Jiang, do you have any good suggestions?" Li Xingying asked humbly.

"My advice is to go out and calm down," Jiang Beicheng said, "Your vision is still too narrow. You should go out and see more of the world.

Whether you are looking at the scenery, culture, or historical civilization, what you are looking at are people, people from all walks of life, and ultimately human nature.

If you understand human nature, you will naturally be able to write copy that people can empathize with.

This road is long and difficult, so you have to be calm, hold your composure, and not rush. Don’t focus on short-term returns on investment, but slowly accumulate and wait for things to bloom again.”

"These are some of my insights, I hope they will be helpful to you." After Jiang Beicheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Xingying, who was now staring at him with an obsessed look.

"I knew I would gain something from asking you for advice," Li Xingying said happily. "Actually, I've also thought about going out and seeing the wider world. I just got a passport last month, but I'm confused and don't know where to go.
I didn't dare to just leave on my own. I had no experience traveling abroad, so I was quite worried."

Jiang Beicheng said: "New Zealand? If you are interested, we can be a travel partner."
