Chapter 1723: Miss Nice Girl (86)

They still maintained their three days of learning every month and had never once thought of slowing down.

Under Tang Guo's guidance, they had come to understand that learning never ends. No matter what profession one is in, without learning and progress, one would eventually be eliminated.

It was precisely because of this mindset that all of the nail salons were thriving.

As for Tang Guo herself, she was taking fewer and fewer orders.

From forty-five appointments a month at the beginning, she now accepted fewer than twenty, and even then, getting an appointment with her was incredibly difficult.

What she provided now was essentially top-tier service, something most people couldn't afford and were unwilling to spend on.

Naturally, she also had many regular clients who placed orders every month.

Even if she stopped opening appointments online, she still wouldn't be idle.

Yun Juan had never imagined that in just three or four years, she would make something of herself in the big city.

Both she and her husband now had careers of their own.

In the second year after moving to the city, she brought her mother-in-law and child over as well.

In the third year, she and her husband used their savings to pay the down payment on a house.

It wasn't in some luxurious upscale neighborhood. It was ordinary enough, but at least they had managed to settle down and establish a home there.

With their current circumstances, they no longer had to worry about mortgage payments.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaokun had graduated.

Several months after graduation, he still hadn't found a job.

He thought highly of himself and firmly believed he was talented. It was simply that others failed to appreciate his abilities.

He refused jobs that paid three thousand yuan a month, believing such offers were insulting him.

Even if his university wasn't prestigious, as long as he had real capability, he should still be able to find a decent job.

The problem was that he had no real skills. He had spent the last three or four years idling away, squandering the money Li Meixue and her husband gave him.

Having never suffered hardship, he was still regarded by Li Meixue and the rest of the family as a genius destined for great success.

So how could he possibly take a job paying only three thousand yuan a month? Wouldn't people laugh at him?

At first, Li Meixue and her husband comforted him and told him to look slowly.

But after more than half a year had passed and he still hadn't found anything to his liking, the couple became anxious and came over to help him search.

Tang Xiaokun was somewhat unwilling when he heard they were coming, but he couldn't stop them.

Li Meixue and Tang Chenghai firmly believed that Tang Xiaokun was capable.

They had heard that he looked down on low salaries, and to be honest, they thought the pay was too low as well.

In the end, through connections and acquaintances in the provincial capital, they managed to secure a job for Tang Xiaokun.

The company only accepted him out of consideration for Li Meixue and her husband's face.

The salary wasn't particularly high, but the whole family was satisfied with the six thousand yuan monthly income. In truth, the other party owed Li Meixue and her husband a favor from years ago and had no choice but to agree.

None of them knew that the man's plan was simply to give Tang Xiaokun an easy position. If Tang Xiaokun truly had ability and ambition, he could work his way up on his own. If he only intended to muddle through life, then the favor would be considered repaid, and he would no longer owe the couple anything.

After settling everything, Li Meixue and her husband had to return to work. After all, they still needed to earn money to pay off the mortgage.

The house they had bought wasn't cheap, and the monthly payments were considerable.

After joining the company, Tang Xiaokun indeed spent his days idling around, showing no sign whatsoever of wanting to improve himself.

Seeing his attitude, the man didn't bother with him anymore. After all, the company could afford to support one or two useless employees.

"In a while, those two will probably start arranging blind dates for Tang Xiaokun," Tang Guo said with a smile. "This is getting interesting."
