Chapter 286 "Hi, My Best Friend"Pei Hening was unaware of the situation on Wu Nanfei's side.She got into the car and briefly told Chu Xuange about the invitation to the cultural exhibition sent to her by the Xilin people.After sorting things out, Pei Hening asked in confusion, "Why did that Xilin tribeswoman send me an invitation to the cultural exhibition? I've only met her once, in Richard's class."Chu Xuange was taking off his gloves when he heard the question and subconsciously replied, "Perhaps there's something to be gained from it."Pei Hening frowned, subconsciously picking up the ruby and diamond ring Chu Xuange had placed on the table and playing with it: "But, we've only been on the highway for a short time, and we don't know much about this world. What can the Xilin tribe get out of us?""Perhaps what the Xilin tribe values is our shallow understanding."She handed over the ring, her wariness of the Xilin tribe only increasing."Don't think too much, baby. Anyway, you didn't take any invitations from anyone, so don't worry."Pei Hening nodded, picked up the homework on the table, and said, "I'll do my homework first. Gege, you go ahead and do your thing."Chu Xuange lowered his head and transferred five thousand gold coins to Pei Hening, saying, "Okay, Helian Ye and I just settled our profit sharing today, so we transferred some pocket money to Bao Bao.""knew."After seeing Pei Hening enter the study, Chu Xuange instructed 001 to drive and wake him at 5:50 PM, and then he also entered the alchemy room.——Helian Ye happily held the still-warm gold coins, preparing to find [Fairy Descending to Earth] to buy some wine."Knock knock—"Helian Ye turned his head with a smile, but when he saw the figure standing outside the car, his smile froze instantly."Hi, my best friend."Fox Xiao Liu raised its paw and waved, its ears twitching with the movement.He suppressed the urge to call the police and forced a smile. "Officer Fox Six, what brings you here?"Fox Xiaoliu gave Helian Ye a meaningful look and said, "I'm off work. I thought I'd come over and see how you are doing. Looks like I've come at a pretty good time.""My friend, where are you going?"Fox Xiao Liu tilted its fluffy head, looking exceptionally 'innocent'.Its appearance is very deceptive. At first glance, you would definitely equate it with a soft and harmless little fox. Who would have thought that it is the most daring extortionist in the road survival game?At least, Helian Ye was fooled by it back then."I'm looking for a place to park, Officer Fox Xiao Liu. Aren't you going home after get off work?"Fox Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I've discovered a super delicious restaurant, my good friend, would you like to come and try it with me?"Helian Ye understood.Fox Xiao Liu meant to take him along and let him pay the bill.Helian Ye's mind was filled with images of gold coins and fox faces. After thinking for a moment, he took out a bottle of cocktail he had bought from [Fairy Descending to Earth] and gave it to the fox, saying, "Although I would love to have dinner with you, I really don't have time lately. This is a drink I bought for you to try."Fox Six took the wine and stuffed it into its backpack. Seeing his honest expression, it swallowed the words that were about to come out. If he didn't want to go, so be it; it would go find other friends.After Helian Ye tricked Hu Xiaoliu away, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He almost lost his first pot of gold (the road survival version).Capital has the effect of compound interest and investment value. If the first pot of gold is extorted away, then it loses the opportunity to be productive capital.To put it simply, you've just earned your first pot of gold through production, and you use that money to repay your family, fulfilling your filial duty. But this can prevent you from accumulating capital, trapping you in a "cycle of poverty."Only by breaking the cycle of intergenerational resource consumption and achieving economic independence and asset accumulation can one be better able to repay their family in the future. Of course, special circumstances should be treated differently.After being rebuffed by Helian Ye, Fox Xiaoliu turned to its dear friend No. 2—[the escaped mermaid].
