136: Chapter 136: Self-Taught 136: Chapter 136: Self-Taught Zhang Yuehong knew that Liu Lingshow being with Ye Qiu didn’t affect her grades and might even improve them.
Naturally, Zhang Yuehong supported their relationship.
After Zhang Yuehong finished making dinner and called Liu Daqing to join them for a meal, Ye Qiu asked, “Uncle, Aunt, how are your wages at the factory?”
“They’re just so-so, fixed salaries, around two to three thousand a month.”
“Have you considered doing something else?”
Since Ye Qiu considered Liu Lingshow his woman, and her parents treated him well too, Ye Qiu decided he didn’t want Liu Daqing and his wife to struggle.
In those factories, even though Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong rarely worked overtime, their salaries were fixed and low.
Their effort and income were disproportionate.
We don’t know what to do for now.”
Both he and Zhang Yuehong had worked in that factory for over a decade and were old employees.
If they didn’t work there anymore, they wouldn’t know what else to do.
Fortunately, Liu Lingshow had started speaking normally again, and they felt their life was pretty good now.
As for other things, they hadn’t even considered them.
“Work where it’s not so exhausting?
Like running a convenience store.”
When Zhang Yuehong heard this, her eyes darted around, but soon she thought of something.
They weren’t familiar with such things, and starting a business required investment, needing at least tens of thousands of yuan.
After finishing dinner, since Liu Lingshow wasn’t planning to go back to the classroom to study, Ye Qiu decided not to stay either.
He needed to go back and work on the design for that restaurant.
As Ye Qiu rode his electric bike away, Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing remembered what Ye Qiu had just talked about.
They thought Ye Qiu mentioned it casually, but Liu Lingshow knew it definitely wasn’t casual, as she knew Ye Qiu easily made money treating patients now.
A while ago, Ye Qiu earned five million yuan, but he didn’t let her or her parents know.
“Dad, Mom, Ye Qiu wasn’t joking about what he said at dinner, so just think about it.
I’m going to my room to study.”
“What is that girl thinking?”
“Maybe it’s really worth considering.”
Liu Daqing thought that working in the factory, although they got pension contributions, after deducting those, the remaining money for both of them added up to about four thousand yuan, which wasn’t enough to cover the cost of the phone Ye Qiu bought for Liu Lingshow.
If they did open a convenience store, making two hundred yuan a day would be better than working in the factory.
“You better stop thinking about it.”
Zhang Yuehong reminded him.
She felt that she and her husband were honest, and they couldn’t handle that.
Ye Qiu rode his electric bike back to the old neighborhood.
Initially, he wanted to park it at the porridge noodle shop, but the shop was closed, and thieves were rampant, so he didn’t want to risk leaving it outside to be stolen.
He parked the bike downstairs of the building, locked it, and went up to find that Ye Weidong wasn’t home, but Chen Fang and Ye Xue were.
Seeing Ye Qiu come back so soon, Chen Fang and Ye Xue found it strange.
“Brother, why are you back so early tonight?”
“Lingshow is studying at home, so I came back.”
Once they heard that, Ye Xue and Chen Fang understood.
Ye Qiu saw the two women watching an old TV, and he knew they hardly had time to watch because of their work at the porridge noodle shop.
Now that they had time, they took the chance to watch some TV.
After a shower, Ye Qiu said, “Mom, I’m going to my room to work on the design.”
Ye Qiu went into his room and turned on his computer.
This old computer was three years old, and the former Ye Qiu hardly used it, mostly for watching small videos.
Once he turned it on, it was terribly slow, likely due to those videos.
He deleted 50 GB of hidden videos and then ran a virus scan and cleared other junk files.
Opening documents became much smoother.
He transferred the design files from his mobile QQ to the interior design software and resumed designing.
From 8 PM until after 11 PM, Ye Qiu focused entirely on his design work.
Ye Xue assumed her brother had fallen asleep with the light on, so she gently opened the door and saw him still at his desk.
Ye Xue came over and saw Ye Qiu working on a 3D design drawing, but she couldn’t understand it.
With only a primary education and no secondary schooling, she couldn’t decipher the 3D design.
But she felt it must be something very complex.
Ye Qiu smelled his sister’s fragrance, turned around, and indeed saw Ye Xue standing there.
“I came to check, thinking you fell asleep and forgot to turn off the light.”
“No, I’ve been working on this.
It’s the interior design for our restaurant.”
He was following a palace-style design but hadn’t completed or perfected it yet.
Despite Ye Qiu’s explanation, Ye Xue still couldn’t understand the symbols and lines.
She was curious about how her brother knew this.
“How do you know this stuff?”
“Because I’m a genius, self-taught!”
Ye Xue was even more puzzled.
If Ye Qiu’s medical skills were taught by someone in the martial arts world, that made sense, but interior design couldn’t have been taught by someone like that!
You should sleep early.”
Ye Xue didn’t look further, but she felt her brother was getting more impressive.
As she left, Ye Qiu saved his design, planning to perfect it in the next few days.
Since it was the best time to cultivate the Primordial Five Emperors Technique, he closed the door, turned off the lights.
Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Ye Xue in the living room assumed Ye Qiu had gone to sleep.
They usually stayed up late, but for Ye Qiu, they refrained from watching TV.
Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on his mat, continuing his cultivation, absorbing moonlight essence, which transformed into spiritual energy, flowing through his meridians, converting into true qi, and storing it in his dantian.
Ye Qiu felt he would soon break through in his cultivation!
