Chapter 934: Actually, we're doing pretty well now

~7 min read 1,325 words

Envy, jealousy, hatred, huh.

A family that can create miracles and rebirth.

Everything the Yang Family does is simply too appealing to people like them.

"Give me a top‑level plan: to poach the Yang Family for me."

"Start with the side branches."

"Bit by bit we'll poach them, and sooner or later we'll have them all."

The assistant has to interrupt his fantasy.

"First, if the Yang Family comes, they'll only be divided among them."

"The Yang Family members aren't fools."

"They have now stopped expanding under Yingjiang."

"There are some, but they're mainly the few kids from the Morgan Family."

"The Yang Family isn't stupid; they won't come over."

On the other side, a wave of despair.

Too difficult.

He must find allies.

He truly can't do it himself.

He doesn't know the gloom on the other side.

He, however, is quite pleased.

Because the money has dwindled to just over 90 billion.

Although he looks for all sorts of excuses, there is a reason for sending many red packets.

But he really is about to spend it all.

It's that Yang Panpan—she just doesn't come back to continue working.

He asked Tian Weiwei, and Tian Weiwei also refused, citing the need to work.

He let Guan's daughter‑in‑law try, but the other side worked a few days and then stopped.

The people in the Live Broadcast Room were as if stuck to Yang Qing.

After a few days without seeing him, they missed him greatly.

The scrolling comments were full of requests for Yang Qing.

They truly can't endure it.

Yang Qing can only keep the show going.

Open the Live Broadcast Room again.

Yang Qing has no more pleasantries.

He directly sends red packets to everyone.

"Hello, may I ask whether you're here to tell stories, tell jokes, or sing?"

Bao Bai, upon hearing Yang Qing's words, knew that Yang Lao was trying to slack off again, but he couldn't let him get his way, because if Yang Lao were satisfied, the audience would be dissatisfied, and he would be dissatisfied as well.

"Hello Yang Lao, I'm here today to clear doubts."

Yang Qing's face twitched.

"May I ask what problem you have?"

Bao Bai became excited.

"Yang Lao, if you were an ordinary villager who just graduated from college…"

"... now you can't find a job, and life has become a problem."

"What should you do?"

Yang Qing was at a loss.

"Nowadays there are many freelance jobs: writing novels, turning good novels into simple short animations, taking online gigs; if that doesn't work, you can also get a food‑delivery or courier job to first solve the survival problem."

"In short, here with us, the survival issue has already been solved; no one will starve to death."

Bao Bai's eyes lit up; there were indeed so many jobs to do.

But that still doesn't solve the immediate emergency.

"Yang Lao, I have no money for food now, and the landlord has kicked me out."

"These matters can't be solved in a short time either."

"I thought about online loans, but after hearing you, I don't dare to do it."

"Moreover, even if I wanted to, I can't, because most of them have closed down."

"Is that so hard? You live in a civilized society."

"You could ask the guys for help; they'll take you to a shelter for temporary placement."

"We live in a modern society, not the ancient times."

"In ancient times there were also porridge‑giving…"

"Nowadays most places have shelters."

"Short‑term there's no problem, but you can't rely on shelters for long‑term survival."

"Because you have full capacity to act, you should support yourself."

"Emergency aid, not a crutch; understand?"

Bao Bai chuckled.

"Understood."

However, Yang Lao, what if I can't solve my survival problem in the short term?

You also know, finding a job is very difficult now.

Yang Qing furrowed their brows.

You have no family, no friends, no classmates, or is it that you're just very unlikable, with not a single person willing to help you?

Temporary work, you know, you can find a job through the internet or offline stores.

There are many labor agencies.

Online recruitment is more abundant.

Take it slow; soon you'll know which is reliable, then go to that reliable place to take work, and as you come into contact with more, finding work will get easier.

If it really doesn't work out, just go work in a factory.

Survival comes first; discuss other matters after you've solved food and shelter.

Bao Bai knew Yang Lao was getting a little impatient.

After all, their way of asking questions is indeed extreme.

There are a few people who can make use of it.

Nowadays it's indeed hard to starve to death; if worse comes to worst, you can go to a steamed‑bun shop, ask for food, ask for two steamed buns, and that's no problem.

Be thick‑skinned, go to a few more places, and you'll have food for several days.

As for housing, there are many unfinished buildings; if worse comes to worst, you can go to the Long-term Rental, use the arrangement of delayed rent payment, first find a place to live, then work hard at Earning Money, and make up the rent within three months.

Survival is indeed no problem; they're just looking for trouble when there's none.

Yang Lao, thank you for your answer.

I ask this way because I actually just want everyone to understand that our life isn't that pessimistic, because we have a safety net.

I once had nothing either; at that time I was terrified and helpless.

Because I'm an orphan, and I'm also dull.

So when I couldn't find a job, I became desperate.

At that time, I didn't know about relief stations, nor did I know how to find a job.

I asked around everywhere, but I just couldn't find a job.

Later, I fainted from hunger on the road, an uncle took me to the hospital, and a checkup showed it was due to starvation.

Back then everyone was shocked. There are still people in this era who can't get enough to eat.

Later I was sent to a relief station, where I temporarily stayed for a period.

Later, with the help of the relief station, I rented a Long-term Rental in Honghai that allows delayed rent payment.

Later, people also gave me advice on how to do odd jobs.

Later, things gradually got better.

Besides, if you're really hungry, you can go to a restaurant or steamed‑bun shop and beg for a few buns; most people will give them.

Survival really isn't difficult.

And just as Yang Lao said, if there's no debt, life will quickly improve.

I hope my questions today can help everyone.

What I want to say is, life really isn't that hard.

I hope everyone doesn't give up.

During this time, I've seen a lot of disheartening news.

I want to say to those who have faced setbacks.

Better to live a miserable life than to die well; don't you want to see the future Yang Lao depicted?

What's wrong with being ordinary all the time?

We have seen, eaten, drunk, played, and even once been happy.

Let us live as silent observers.

Although excitement belongs to others, at least we know what excitement is.

Rounded off, it amounts to us having experienced excitement.

Moreover, our current life, even the most ordinary, is something even emperors in the past could not enjoy.

The emperor could only hide in Zijing City.

But we have ridden trains, high‑speed rails, and cars.

We have even ridden airplanes.

Although our food is simple, the various tasty snacks are something emperors could not eat.

As for clothing and housing, they are far better than the imperial palace.

Did they have heating? Air conditioning? Down jackets?

They had none, but we have all of them.

Given all this, what do we have to despair about?
