Chapter 60 Returning Home to Cultivate Immortality

I left Ning Meng's house.

It's already 7pm.

Meng Bai discussed many things with his mother, Wang Zhilin.

During the encounter, the two were constantly pulling and tugging at each other, with Meng Bai adopting a meticulous and calculating stance.

To be honest, he didn't need to do that at all.

After all, his purpose in making money and running this kind of club was to promote Su Xintang and improve his parents' living conditions.

As for who will own this club in the future, Meng Bai doesn't care at all.

He was already a god back then, why would he care about these things?
But you can't do things that way. If Meng Bai is too casual and doesn't act like he's serious, Wang Zhilin will only think he's unreliable and just spouting empty promises.

The more detailed his accounting, the more people believed he was serious about his work.

And that was indeed the case. Although we talked for most of the day and didn't finalize many things, the work was actually progressing rapidly.

Wang Zhilin didn't even finish her meal. After chatting, she left the house, as if she wouldn't come back until she had visited all her good friends' homes.

She's basically a living advertisement, generating anticipation right from the start.

As for launching the first batch of "membership services" and making the initial profit, that will have to wait until Meng Bai is fully prepared. He plans to dilute the jade lotus root paste with distilled water at two, three, four, five, or six times the amount to create a diluted emulsion, and then have people test its effects on them.

At the same time, the lotus root paste also needs to be sent for testing to obtain a report that it is non-toxic and free of heavy metals.

To handle these trivial matters, even Ning Le was assigned by Wang Zhilin to be used by Meng Bai.

Wang Zhilin said that although Ning Le is a sycophant, he has a wide network of connections.

I have to say, Ning Le's connections might actually be quite extensive.

Meng Bai originally wanted to ask Wang Zhilin if there was any way to help him get a 30-day business visa to Taiwan, since independent travel to Taiwan is not yet open there, and going there would be a bit troublesome.

Before Wang Zhilin could even speak, Ning Le made a promise and said she would get one for Ning Meng as well.

This left Meng Bai unsure whether or not to believe him.

Of course, what puzzled Meng Bai even more was...

"Your brother isn't bad-looking, and your family is rich, so why does he have to be such a simp?" Meng Bai couldn't help but ask as they walked downstairs in the apartment complex.

Ning Meng stood beside him with her hands behind her back, after hearing the question.

She sighed and said, "I heard that he had a crush on that girl since junior high school, all the way up to high school. Back then, he was chubby and had a face full of acne. The girl thought he was ugly and ignored him completely."

The two went to university and were separated by distance, which finally calmed things down. They thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, they started hooking up again this year.

Sometimes I don't know if he really likes that girl that much, or if it's just pure resentment.

"He's getting stuck on this issue, unable to make a decision. That's not good; he'll only get deeper into it. Think about those cases of people being manipulated by others; some of them have gone to extremes."

Meng Bai recalled the afternoon they had spent together. Aside from talking about that woman, Ning Le was a pretty normal person.

Once the topic of that woman comes up, he starts to act like he's going crazy.

"She won't listen." Ning Meng frowned in annoyance, not wanting to continue the topic.

Meng Bai didn't say anything more, and the two continued walking forward.

Just as they reached the door, Ning Meng suddenly said, "How come we never discovered something as wonderful as jade lotus root paste before?"

Meng Bai already had a set of arguments to address this issue.

But he swallowed the words back down.

He stopped and turned to look at Ning Meng, saying, "Are you wondering if the jade lotus root paste I mentioned she'd send over in a few days will be able to get through customs?"

Ning Meng was taken aback; she hadn't expected Meng Bai to guess her thoughts so quickly.

"Are you curious whether this jade lotus root paste belongs to her or to me?"

Ning Meng didn't reply, but instead, with her hands behind her back and her head down, she unconsciously kicked at the pebbles on the ground.

Looking at the top of her head, Meng Bai continued, "I always lied to you about her, sometimes saying one thing, sometimes saying another."

"I don't really care about these things. I don't believe you would hurt me." Ning Meng looked up at Meng Bai, then looked away, avoiding eye contact with him.

Do you really not care even if you say you don't?

She didn't have any clear romantic feelings for Meng Bai; she just enjoyed spending time with him.

She knew that Meng Bai had run two social media accounts during his university years, a fact unknown to the rest of the company. Meng Bai didn't want to bring up such an unpleasant past of being scammed.

She thought Meng Bai's content was excellent. That's why, upon hearing that Meng Bai was going to launch a new account, she didn't hesitate to leave her company and come to him to work together. In short, she admired Meng Bai, but that didn't mean she liked being deceived.

Meng Bai continued, "Are you really eager to know if she and I are boyfriend and girlfriend? Or are we just business partners planning to launch this jade lotus root paste?"

Before Ning Meng could react, Meng Bai said seriously, "She is indeed my girlfriend, but she won't get involved in the matter of the jade lotus root paste, so you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Ning Meng could sense Meng Bai's sincerity.

Her feelings suddenly became complicated; she wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Just then, Meng Bai reached out and flipped his hand in front of her, revealing a delicate, long wooden box in his palm.

Ning Meng looked at the box, then at Meng Bai, somewhat puzzled.

“I know you love these things. I bought them for you on my last trip. There are some things I really can’t say, so please don’t take offense.”

Ning Meng took the box and opened it, finding inside a beautifully crafted golden hairpin, a type of hair ornament similar to a hairpin.

She took out the hairpin and examined it closely. The more she looked at it, the more exquisite it became, and the more she liked it. Only a master craftsman could make something like this.

She was delighted with it and looked at Meng Bai with surprise, saying, "Where did you buy this? It must be very expensive!"

"It's not expensive. I'm poor, but it's the thought that counts."

"Tch~~ I don't believe it~~" Ning Meng really didn't believe it. She was an enthusiast in the field, how could she not understand the price range of the items?
However, what made her even happier was that Meng Bai said he "bought it when he went on a long trip last time," but in the few days since he resigned, she had been with him almost every day.

In other words, this hair ornament could only have been bought before he resigned.

He had always wanted to buy things for himself?
In fact, Ning Meng misunderstood. This hair ornament was bought from He Gu Tian. It was neither gold nor a magic artifact. Otherwise, Meng Bai would not have had enough incense offerings to offer it. However, the craftsmanship was indeed exquisite.

Unfortunately, Earth can also make this kind of thing, and the prices on both sides are almost the same. Don't even think about making money from this; you'd be losing money on incense taxes.

The lotus root paste is more unique and has a higher profit margin.

"I'll stop here. I'm going to find Bu Jie and Gu Jiang to help them out." Meng Bai gestured for her not to go any further.

Ning Meng was somewhat dazed, simply holding the hairpin and watching Meng Bai's tall and slender figure slowly walk away.

he,
He really does seem to have become more handsome.

As he walked down the street, even passersby turned around to look at him.

"Hey! Lao Meng." Ning Meng suddenly stepped forward and called out.

Meng Bai turned his head to the side and looked at her: "What?"

"You can take my car first, I have other cars."

"No." Meng Bai shook his head without hesitation.

"Why are you being so polite with me? The things you've given me are enough to buy a car."

"I won't mince words with you. The problem is, do you know how much parking costs per hour downstairs in my building? And do you know how hard it is to find a parking spot after get off work? It's not a car, it's a dad! I'd rather walk."

After saying that, Meng Bai turned around and waved to Ning Meng with his back to her.

Ning Meng couldn't help but laugh.

She held the wooden box in her arms, and as she turned around with a smile, a large face appeared in front of her.

"Holy crap!" Ning Meng exclaimed in surprise.

It was Ning Le who arrived. Looking at Meng Bai's back, he clicked his tongue in admiration and said, "Damn, that's really cool. I have to learn that trick. Giving gifts through magic tricks to make girls happy."

"Why did you come down here? What magic trick?" Ning Meng asked, puzzled.

"He conjured up this box in your hand with a flick of his wrist. I saw it clearly from the side. His technique was incredibly fast, so damn cool! If I knew that move, wouldn't I be invincible?" Ning Le said.

"Huh? Was he just doing magic?" Ning Meng was taken aback, suddenly feeling like she had only received half of the gift.

On the other hand, some people feel that they have only done half the work, and are stuck in a limbo.

That's Bu Jie and Gu Jiang. They've been stirring up trouble all day, but Su Xintang hasn't responded at all to the question of whether Meng Bai is actually her boyfriend.

Not only did they not reply, they even updated with a new video.

In this new video, she is no longer practicing swordsmanship.

She was actually plowing the field while holding onto a hand tractor!

The accompanying text reads: "[Returning home to cultivate immortality, I received the supreme magical artifact 'Nine Profound Realm-Breaking Plow' from the clan elders...]"
