Chapter 19: Earn money based on your skills
Ye Yousheng happily received two thousand yuan - for Ye Yousheng, this amount of money was similar to the average person winning five yuan by scratching a prize on the street.

But the little girl is so proud!
She has also made money on her own before: working as a print model for some luxury magazines.

In the past, it was based on appearance, but this time it was different. This time, it was based on strength!

Zhang Qingxiang watched her three or two meters in front of him, jumping up and down with the prize money, letting out bursts of laughter like silver bells - the shadow in his heart also faded away.

This girl is actually very good at infecting the people around her with her happiness.

It's a pity that she is now entangled in fear and has too little time to be happy.

For example, now, she dare not leave Zhang Qingxiang's side more than three meters away.

After walking a dozen steps, Zhang Qingxiang's cell phone dinged. When he opened it, he saw a friend request: Junior brother, it's me.

Yuan Chengyi!
Zhang Qingxiang passed with a sneer on his lips.

Ye Yousheng ran back to Zhang Qingxiang: "Brother Qingxiang, where should we go next?"

"Just take a look around, and we'll go back after lunch."

"Okay."

Catching dolls, hip-hop machines, gashapon machines... She had fun like an ordinary high school girl, and they had dinner together at noon before going back.

Zhang Qingxiang received a call from his father in the car: "I'll be back in the evening."

"Oh."

After hanging up the phone, the bodyguard took the initiative and said, "I'll drive my little brother home."

Zhang Qingxiang was surprised, but he did not refuse the kindness: "Thank you."

Zhang Qingxiang could feel that, except for Team Leader Zhao, everyone in Ye Yousheng's security team was somewhat contemptuous of him. He didn't know why their attitude suddenly changed.

Two bodyguards escorted the two back to the villa, and then another group of people were replaced.

The two of them got into the room where they were looking for the team leader: "Boss, I'm convinced!"

The two of them talked about what happened in the morning: "... When Zhang Qingxiang went to receive the award for the stone lock, we both went up to try it."

"The stone lock seems to be growing on the ground, not moving at all."

"There was also a muscular guy among the passers-by, but he couldn't pick it up either."

"This kid is hiding his secrets!"

"What broke me was that the lady actually pulled me up..."

This is the reason why the two people's attitude towards Zhang Qingxiang changed.

Team leader Zhao frowned and thought to himself: "Can the young lady be pulled up? I'm afraid it's not easy to earn money for security."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, bodyguard Liu Changhe drove Zhang Qingxiang back.

Ye Yousheng repeatedly confirmed "I'll be back in the evening" before letting Zhang Qingxiang go back.

When we got home at 5:30, Ye Shumin was watching TV series on her mobile phone: "Order takeout tonight."

Zhang Ruiqian promised repeatedly: "I'll order some, from the tea restaurant you like to eat at."

Then Zhang Ruiqian dragged his son into the study: "Is your novel really a novel?"

"What else could it be?" Zhang Qingxiang looked puzzled, emphasizing the realism.

Zhang Ruiqian didn't know how to ask, so he scratched his steel-needle-like skin with his thick fingers and didn't ask.

"I have something serious to tell you, so be mentally prepared and don't be surprised..."

Twenty minutes later, the father and son concluded their discussion. Zhang Qing was shocked enough by his father's words that "the world is becoming weird" and it took him five and a half minutes to digest the content.

He also showed great pride in his father's temporary status as "the number one person in the mysterious world in the original city".

In the end, it was a natural decision to join the secret case team.

Before Zhang Qingxiang ended this "performance", he asked one more question: "Since pulling the stone lock has the qualifications to become a practitioner, what about Ye Yousheng, will you also contact her?"

"Yes." Zhang Ruiqian thought for a moment and felt that it was not a leak: "I only found out that Ye Yousheng's father is Ye Jiucheng after I submitted all the audition lists this afternoon."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiqian glanced at his son strangely: "Do you know who Ye Jiucheng is?"

Zhang Qingxiang nodded: "I know."

Zhang Ruiqian hesitated: "...You young people just like each other."

Zhang Qingxiang was too lazy to explain.

"Someone will go to Ye's house tonight. Let's talk to Ye Jiucheng first. After all, Ye Yousheng is not yet eighteen years old."

"Someone will go to your school on Monday to handle the suspension procedures for you."

"If you feel that the Secret Case Team is not suitable for you in the future, you can quit after signing the confidentiality agreement and continue your studies."

Finally, Zhang Ruiqian reminded his son: "When you people come in, there will be a training class. You have to be more attentive."

Zhang Qingxiang asked: "Does your apprentice Yuan Chengyi also participate in the training?"

"The final list has not been determined yet, but he is very active in doing things, so he should be one of them."

Zhang Qingxiang sneered in his heart: If you are allowed to sneak in, I will take your last name!
Twenty minutes later, the father and son went out together. Ms. Ye Shumin was so immersed in the play that she didn't even notice that they had been "missing" for such a period of time.

Zhang Ruiqian took out his mobile phone and ordered takeout.

Now that his father already knows that he can pull the stone lock, Zhang Qingxiang can show his extraordinary ability a little bit.

"I want more, my appetite has increased recently."

In the evening, Zhang Qingxiang sent a text message to Ye Yousheng, explaining that he would be there later.

Ye Yousheng was obviously worried that Zhang Qingxiang would not be able to accompany him tonight, but he resisted not urging his brother.

Her parents' normal schedule is to go to bed at 11 o'clock, but Ms. Ye Shumin stayed up until 12:30 today to catch up on dramas.

Zhang Qingxiang waited until 1:30, when his parents were fast asleep, and then he followed the same method, put "Liu Juanzi Ghost Recipe" in his mother's hands, and watched her complete the fusion.

Then Zhang Qingxiang went out quickly and sent a message to Ye Yousheng on his mobile phone: He's here.

Ye Yousheng's video call came immediately. In the video, the room lights were all on. She was sitting on the bedside, hugging the pillow and wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, still shivering.

Her eyes looked helpless and fearful, and she opened her mouth: "Qing... brother... knock, knock", her upper and lower teeth clashed.

"Don't be afraid," Zhang Qingxiang reassured, his voice steady and thick: "I'm here."

As long as Ye Yousheng sees him, he can feel safer.

The two of them had been on a video call without chatting. They just let Ye Yousheng see him until Zhang Qingxiang returned to the Ye family's villa.

The moment Zhang Qingxiang opened the door and walked in, Ye Yousheng relaxed all over and forced a smile to Zhang Qingxiang.

Zhang Qingxiang poured a cup of hot water for her and sat next to her: "When you join the secret case team, they will teach you some skills. If you can defeat those scary things, you won't be so afraid in the future."

Ye Yousheng took a sip, put down the cup and curled up next to him naturally, but did not answer.

She has no confidence in any secret case team, and the only one she trusts is Brother Qingxiang.

Two hours ago, his father came to ask for his opinion, and he only agreed because he heard that Brother Qingxiang had joined.
