133: Chapter 133 Promoting Meng Po (Novel Update)

Jiang Xiaoran went downstairs to buy a lot of salt.

Only then did Jiang Chen finish preparing this sumptuous lunch.

"Lunch is ready. Go call your aunt to come out and eat!"

Jiang Chen brought out a plate of steamed fish head with chopped chili and motioned for Jiang Xiaoran to call Xue Yao.

"Roger that!"

Jiang Xiaoran walked quickly to the door of Xue Yao's bedroom.

"Auntie, it's time to eat."

Xue Yao was lying on her side on the bed; she turned her head and said, "I'm not hungry, you go ahead and eat!"

After saying that.

She closed her eyes again, lost in thought.

Jiang Xiaoran shrugged and returned to the dining room.

"Uncle, Auntie doesn't seem to want to eat."

Jiang Chen said, "Alright, let's eat first."

After that.

The two of them began to eat loudly, smacking their lips.

In the bedroom, Xue Yao pricked up her ears.

She expected Jiang Chen to come and call her for dinner.

But she found that the guy actually didn't come.

She was so angry that she kicked her quilt off the bed. "You jerk! Bastard! Where's my red velvet cake?"

"It was all an act!"

"He clearly wants to starve me to death!"

While Xue Yao was sulking alone...

Jiang Chen was eating at the dining table.

He asked Jiang Xiaoran, "How is your cousin's health? Any issues with the life no. 1 from last time?"

"Ah, right! I almost forgot. I came this time specifically to thank you. I brought a lot of sweet potatoes in my backpack; my dad and grandpa told me to bring them..."

As Jiang Xiaoran spoke, she was about to put down her chopsticks to get the sweet potatoes.

Jiang Chen waved his hand. "No rush. As long as everything is fine."

"Don't worry, Uncle. I'll definitely pay you back that 150,000."

Jiang Xiaoran picked up a piece of fish, placed it on her white rice, and said with a determined look in her eyes.

She was the type of person who would repay even a drop of kindness with extreme devotion, so she certainly wouldn't forget Jiang Chen's 150,000.

Jiang Chen chuckled. "You're still young. Wait until you graduate and find a job before talking about paying me back."

"I also came to Zhujiang City this time to look for summer job opportunities in the big city."

Jiang Xiaoran said.

If she stayed home for the two months of summer vacation, it would be relaxing, but she wouldn't have any money.

Coming to the big city, she might be able to find a summer job.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen looked up and asked, "A summer job? What do you want to do?"

"I don't know either, Uncle. What do you think I can do?"

Jiang Xiaoran asked.

As long as she could make money, she was willing to do anything, even going out to sea to fish with her uncle.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "What's your major in college?"

"Biological Genetics."

Jiang Xiaoran replied.

Her college entrance exam scores weren't great, but she still got into a four-year university for Biological Genetics.

However, future careers in this major have very high educational requirements.

After graduating, an ordinary undergraduate might only be able to sweep the floors in a lab.

You'd need at least a doctorate to have any room to show your skills.

"Biological Genetics, huh? That's not an easy field to find work in."

Jiang Chen sighed.

The entities that can do this kind of work are basically all large enterprises; small ones can't afford it.

Although Longke Academy also does research in biological genetics, the staff there are at least PhDs.

Like Shu Yin, a genius female doctor who graduated from Dragon God Academy—when she first arrived, she was just in charge of operating the projector under him...

"Jobs are indeed hard to find, so I've been specifically looking for practical opportunities like summer jobs or temporary work... Look, I saw one like this on an official account."

"Can you take a look for me and see if it's okay?"

Jiang Xiaoran took out her phone and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen leaned in to look; it turned out to be a recruitment post titled 'Searching for Mengpo' posted by Tianshen Group on their official account.

The job description was roughly that a subsidiary of Tianshen Group was testing a genetic potion called Mengpo Soup.

This genetic potion could allow people to selectively lose certain memories at the genetic level.

It was currently in a small-scale promotion phase.

Therefore, they needed to recruit 'Mengpos' to promote this genetic potion.

"Since it's under Tianshen Group, the safety is definitely guaranteed."

"As for whether it's effective, that's hard to say."

Jiang Chen glanced over it.

Tianshen Group helped promote the life no. 1 last time.

He didn't expect them to have developed a new genetic potion recently.

But why would a normal person drink this kind of genetic potion for no reason?

Unless they've suffered from heartbreak or significant depressive trauma.

Furthermore, this genetic potion requires hospitalization and observation at a Tianshen Group hospital; the process is quite complex.

It's not something you can just use whenever you want.

"You get 10,000 yuan for promoting one bottle."

"I want to go for an interview."

Jiang Xiaoran said, smacking her lips.

A bowl of this Mengpo Soup costs hundreds of thousands.

If she successfully promoted one bottle, she could get 10,000; the commission was very high.

It was almost equal to a month's salary for some people.

"You can give it a try."

"If it's not a good fit, come back to me, and I'll help you find a summer job."

Jiang Chen said.

Although he couldn't directly place her in Longke Academy, there were so many companies cooperating with the academy that getting her a summer job wouldn't be a problem.

"Okay, I'll go try it first."

As they talked, they finished their meal without realizing it.

"If you're tired, go take a rest in the guest bedroom."

"I'm going to go talk to your aunt."

After clearing the dishes.

Jiang Chen walked into the master bedroom.

He closed the door.

At this moment, Xue Yao had her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.

But when Jiang Chen sat beside her, he clearly saw her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes were actually red.

No way.

Was she crying?

You're the commander of the Sister Li aircraft carrier!

How could your eyes be red?

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Jiang Chen gently nudged her hip.

Xue Yao immediately rolled over, turning her back to him.

Jiang Chen joked.

"Unhappy? If you're unhappy, go on Soul. The modern adult's way of venting is to use Soul..."

Xue Yao glared at Jiang Chen. "Do you think you're very funny? Stop bothering me, go away!"

Jiang Chen's face fell, and he silently stood up.

He walked out of the bedroom.

After a while.

He rushed back in, shouting, "Oh no, oh no! Honey, there's an earthquake warning on TV!"

Xue Yao remained unmoved.

A moment later, Jiang Chen rushed in again: "Oh no, oh no! There's a level 10 typhoon warning!"

Xue Yao still didn't budge.

After another moment, Jiang Chen came in for a third time: "Oh no! Aliens are invading!"

Xue Yao rolled her eyes: So childish.

One last time.

Jiang Chen walked in with a look of confidence: "The novel has been updated."

Xue Yao jolted and sat up instantly.

"Which one? Which one?"

"Is it 'The School Beauty Saved Money to Buy a House but Was Restricted, She Cried!' or 'His small fishing boat Escorts the Aircraft Carrier' updated?"

"I'm telling you, when my grandpa was alive, he loved reading 'small fishing boat'!"

"Before he passed away, he even told me that if it ever finished, 'don't forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice'..."

Xue Yao was speaking excitedly.

Suddenly, she noticed Jiang Chen looking at her with a half-smile.

Realizing she had been baited, she gave a cold snort, lay back down on her side, and turned her head away.
