Chapter 55: Long-Term Offer, Fair to Young and Old! Fifty-Year Servitude Contract!

Since learning the Five Animals Play.

Song Mo developed a habit of rising early for morning practice.

He wakes at five, practices the Five Animals Play for over an hour, just enough to complete one full set.

The system's Five Animals Play is truly excellent.

After completing one round.

His body sweats lightly, heat radiates from every pore, and a warm current flows through him.

After practicing, a bath feels very comfortable.

The school has already processed his major transfer.

And the evaluation has officially begun.

Song Mo only needs to go to the Music College, demonstrate his piano skills before several professional teachers, and after passing the evaluation, he can graduate early.

Along the way, he can also sign a contract.

Become a specially hired piano teacher at Modu University.

Song Mo arrived at school.

Entered the agreed-upon classroom.

It was precisely the Modu University Music Room.

He saw two dignified female teachers and one very refined male teacher.

These were the professors responsible for evaluating him.

Absolutely esteemed and respected.

Song Mo greeted them, then sat on the piano bench, waiting for the teachers to announce the evaluation items.

The first item was testing musical sensitivity.

Not only piano—the teachers played any note on the piano, and Song Mo had to perfectly replicate it.

The first test was passed.

The second item was testing performance ability.

The third item was testing compositional ability.

He passed all three evaluations…

The refined male teacher was the first to congratulate him:

"Congratulations, Song Mo. I've watched your performance videos from Paris—your level is far higher than mine, already at Master standard. This evaluation was just a formality."

"Still, I'm amazed—and truly humbled."

The two female teachers spoke next.

"Yes, we've often heard your name from Xia Shuqin. Many colleagues joke they want to make you their son-in-law! Never mind anything else—your child will surely be a musician!"

"Of course! Talent is inherited! Even if the musical gift isn't passed down, musical upbringing always is!"

After some polite small talk, Song Mo went to the principal's office to sign the contract appointing him as a specially hired piano teacher.

After signing, he will officially start teaching in about a week.

Song Mo left school and waited a little while.

Xia Rou and Xia Yu had both finished class.

So he picked up the two girls.

Xia Rou seemed fond of jeans—she was always seen wearing denim shorts, her long, pale legs gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

Xia Yu wore a baseball cap, always carrying a camera, saying she recorded life's beauty at all times.

To be fair, she was truly dedicated.

Bubble tea shop.

Xia Rou sucked hard on her sugarcane juice and complained: "Boss, you transferred majors and graduated early, but now you've left me alone in the Finance Department?"

"Classes are lonely now, and I have no one to ask questions to—what should I do?"

Xia Yu struck without mercy.

"What should you do? Eat, sleep, just like always. Isn't your life dream to be a rent collector, walking around in slippers with a sack every day?"

"Come on! Big sister, I wish I could!"

Xia Rou grumbled: "But the policies don't help, life has no luck, and it never made me a demolition household!"

"I really envy rich people—they can just say 'as long as I'm happy,' 'as long as I like it'…"

Song Mo joked: "If you envy rich people, why not manage my money for me? As long as you don't spend it all on mansions and luxury cars, you can spend freely on food, drink, and entertainment…"

"Just tally up how much I've earned, and find ways to make me happy every day."

Xia Yu blurted out:

"What's the difference between that and keeping a mistress?"

Song Mo suddenly realized he had said something wrong.

He apologized: "Sorry."

"I was just joking."

"Pfft~ Just a joke, huh~"

Xia Rou muttered under her breath.

The other two didn't hear.

Song Mo brought up the real matter.

"By the way, Xia Yu, Xia Rou—I've recently become obsessed with martial arts and want to emulate Li Xiaolong, achieving something in kung fu…"

"Ideally, to attain the same reputation as he did."

Song Mo told the two girls about how he had been practicing martial arts lately, and informed them that he had already made some small progress. He was now considering whether to create a new account or continue using the original one that had posted Piano videos.

Xia Rou and Xia Yu exchanged glances.

Xia Yu spoke up first: "Um, Song Mo, what you're saying is—you're going to use those beautiful piano-playing hands of yours to pound wooden stakes and split bricks?"

Xia Rou was also full of dissuasion.

"Song Mo, why not just forget it? Isn't it nice to just focus on Piano?"

Song Mo shook his head slightly.

He wanted to attract more fans and gain higher fame—after all, Piano was still a bit too niche.

On the other hand, martial arts had a long and storied history, appealed to young and old both in China and abroad, had the broadest audience, and also fit with what he was currently practicing.

"Martial arts is my interest, and besides, I share the same ambition as Li Xiaolong—to make those foreigners worship us Huaguo people, and recognize the true blood and backbone of Huaguo!"

Saying this, Song Mo actually got a bit fired up.

What man's heart doesn't harbor a sword?

When he was little, just seeing a fairly straight stick could make him feel like he could sweep clean every blade of grass within five li along the way.

Seeing the two girls hesitate to speak.

Song Mo knew he was being underestimated.

In the milk tea shop, it wasn't appropriate to just smash a table apart to prove himself.

Song Mo simply stood up.

"I know neither of you believes me."

"Stand up."

Xia Yu and Xia Rou didn't understand why, but they still stood up.

Then, Song Mo simply lifted the two girls up, one in each hand!

"Ah!"

The two girls cried out in unison.

As Song Mo lifted them, he also casually bounced them a little—his face neither red nor his breathing labored, showing no strain at all.

After the initial panic passed, Xia Yu said in surprise: "Song Mo, you're this strong?"

Xia Rou pinched Song Mo's muscle.

"Don't tell me, it's actually pretty firm."

Song Mo set the two down, paying no mind to the admiring and envious glances from the male patrons in the milk tea shop, nor to the small group of female patrons covering their mouths and staring wide-eyed at him.

Looking rather pleased with himself, he winked at Xia Rou.

"So? I told you I've got real skill, right?"

Xia Yu, meanwhile, pinched her chin and thought for a moment.

"Hmm… looks like I've already got a job lined up after graduation? Song Mo, you wouldn't toss me aside after you're done using me, would you?"

Song Mo laughed heartily.

"Long-term cooperation! We can sign a twenty-year long-term contract, a fifty-year indenture! If you're not satisfied with the salary, you can unilaterally quit at any time!"

Xia Rou grew anxious.

"Song Mo, I want in too!"

"Ah, what position are you applying for?"

"I… I think I'm careful and meticulous, and I'm good at caring for people—I'm totally suited for a secretary position!"

"I'll consider it."

"What gives… why can big sis do it but I can't?"
