Chapter 12 For the poor to go to work, it's called oxen and horses plowing the fields.
The one Xie Mingzong gave to Li Xi was the same one Xie Xingyun gave him, and it was stamped with Gu Huaizhou's personal seal.
Zhang Xiang thought her daughter was overthinking it. She said, "Maybe we didn't have enough invitations, so we wrote them at the last minute and just signed our names to make it easier."
"Besides, the Gu family has never met Li Xi, so there's no reason for them to treat her differently."
Xie Jiaoyue felt a little relieved after hearing this.
boom!
Li Xi opened the car door, jumped out, and walked quickly toward them.
She snatched the invitation from Xie Jiaoyue's hand and slapped the ordinary invitation from her pocket onto Xie Mingzong's chest.
She opened the invitation in front of the Xie family.
Upon seeing the name of the invitee, Li Xi, and the name of the inviter, Gu Huaizhou, Li Xi felt more relaxed than ever before.
"Open your eyes wide and look closely!"
Li Xi held up the invitation and waved it proudly at the Xie family of four.
She deliberately flashed a bright white smile and said, "Oh dear, the toad wanted to eat swan meat, but the swan just voluntarily fell right in front of me."
"I can't refuse such a kind invitation, I'm determined to have this swan meat." After saying that, Li Xi took the invitation and swaggered away.
Only the Xie family of four remained, their faces flushed red, like pig livers.

As soon as they got in the car, Li Xi generously handed the invitation to Jiang Xinghe: "Here, let me show you the Gu family's invitation, so you can broaden your horizons."
Jiang Xinghe actually took the invitation and touched it, asking, "Can I take a picture?"
Li Xi: "I hid my name because I don't want to be embarrassed with you."
"Okay, okay, okay." Jiang Xinghe took a picture of the invitation, blurred out Li Xi's name, photoshopped it with his own, and then posted it on his WeChat Moments: ["I'm also a man favored by Gu Huaizhou now."]
Li Xi noticed Jiang Xinghe's outrageous actions and felt somewhat ashamed for the Jiang family.
Having such an unreliable eldest son is a blessing for the Jiang family.
Jiang Xinghe has many cronies, and he quickly garnered more than twenty likes.
He scrolled through his likes history and exclaimed in surprise, "The rent collector actually liked my post!"
It's an honor.
He had been renting an apartment in Lanting Apartment for three years and had also been on the "rent collector's" WeChat for three years. This was the first time the "rent collector" had interacted with him on WeChat Moments.
He thought the landlord never used WeChat Moments.
Upon hearing this, Li Xi said, "Send me the Rent Collector's WeChat contact card."
"That's not a good idea," Jiang Xinghe said. "The landlord values his privacy the most, so I can't just give you his WeChat contact."
"Besides, why would you add him? Add him after you've successfully rented a place, and then just give him a gift every quarter."
Li Xi said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I'm afraid he won't agree, so I'm trying to seduce him in advance."
"...You're really going all out." Jiang Xinghe admired Li Xi.
Li Xi smiled and said without any modesty, "If Young Master Jiang can be a bottom for love, of course I have to learn from you."
Jiang Xinghe immediately shut his mouth.
The next second, he muttered, "I think you really are sent by God to bring me down."
"I need to ask the landlord first." Jiang Xinghe is a man of principle, and he always respects the preferences of every friend around him.
Someone like the "Land Collector Bro" values privacy above all else, so he would never casually reveal the Land Collector Bro's contact information.
Jiang Xinghe opened the landlord's WeChat and asked: "Brother Zhen, did you look at the information I sent you last night? Do you think my friend can rent a place in our neighborhood?"
If that's okay, I'll share your WeChat contact with her, and you two can chat privately.
I thought the landlord wouldn't reply to my message anytime soon.
Because he transferred the rent to the landlord several times, but the landlord forgot to collect it after 24 hours...
But this time, the landlord replied to the message very quickly.
The message was concise and to the point, summed up in one word: 【Okay.】
Jiang Xinghe then directly shared the landlord's WeChat contact card with Li Xi.
After returning the invitation to Li Xi, Jiang Xinghe said, "We're friends now, so remember to take some videos of the Gu family when you visit, so I can see the mysterious side of the Gu family garden."
"...OK."
Jiang Xinghe's WeChat started buzzing again.
He quickly glanced at the WeChat group and told Li Xi, "It's hilarious! Your sister thought the person who came to celebrate her birthday today was Gu Huaizhou, and she even contacted a reporter."
"As a result, the reporters have released all the pictures they took, and now everyone knows that your sister was stood up by Gu Huaizhou and that he sent an old man to deal with her."
"This is what they call karma! He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. He deserves it!"
"Really? Let me see?" Li Xi also curled the corners of his mouth, knowing exactly how furious the four members of the Xie family must be right now.
Jiang Xinghe found it troublesome to take screenshots and look at the chat history, so he said, "I'll just add you to the group. My group is full of useless trash. If you join our group, you'll find your own kind."
Li Xi sneered, "Thank you."
However, Li Xi still accepted Jiang Xinghe's invitation and joined the Dongzhou Waste Group.
Dongzhou Waste Cluster.
Useless Brother Bao: [Welcome to the new useless guy. Please change your group name according to the group rules. Those who don't listen will be kicked out.]
Useless Brother Niu: [Was the new useless guy invited by Xinghe? Xinghe, who's this guy?]
Waste Galaxy: [A friend of mine was just kicked out of his home and has nowhere to go. He's a complete loser.]
The losers in the group commented: "That really is a coward..."
Li Xi was editing her group name card and didn't see these messages.
Soon, Li Xi changed her group name card to 'Useless, hehe'.
Returning to the group chat, Li Xi was speechless when she saw that, thanks to Jiang Xinghe's rumors, all the group members had concluded that she was a complete good-for-nothing.
What the hell is this?
Thinking to herself, Li Xi typed expressionlessly: 【Hello everyone, I'm a newbie reporting for duty, hehe. Please be kind and supportive, brothers and sisters.】
Wasteful Brother Bao: [The new wasteful guy has a sweet tongue. Don't worry, I own all the recycling stations in Dongzhou City. I buy other people's empty bottles for 50 cents, and you'll get a high price of 70 cents for yours.]
Useless Brother Niu: [I'll allow you to earn a living at the place where I perform.]
Li Xi was amused and asked Jiang Xinghe, "Who are these people?"
Jiang Xinghe smiled wryly, "They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings who aren't valued by their families."
Li Xi gave Jiang Xinghe a deep look and said, "Let's go."
"where to?"
Li Xi had nowhere to go.
Seeing her embarrassment, Jiang Xinghe didn't laugh at her this time.
Jiang Xinghe subtly extended a friendly gesture: "Since the landlord has allowed me to send you his WeChat contact, then the rental arrangement is settled. Here's what we'll do: I'll take you to my place first, and after the landlord gets off work, I'll take you to him to sign the contract."
"The landlord is still working? Shouldn't he be lying down?" Li Xi's favorite thing is to lie down and be a rich, beautiful, and useless person.
How can someone in this world be rich and still love going to work?
Jiang Xinghe hit the nail on the head, revealing the secret: "For rich people, going to work is called experiencing life, while for poor people, going to work is like being a beast of burden. How can they be the same?"
That makes a lot of sense...
