Xiyang Cai said solemnly, "From now on, we're going to have some ultimate training."
Everyone came to the open space under the tree. A Mei stood there with her body straight. Xiyang Cai held a book and a rattan, and said to A Mei, "A Mei, now I'm going to teach you how to walk. We'll simulate the environment. Now, imagine you're attending a high-class banquet hosted by a foreigner. How can you walk like a lady at this banquet, walking gracefully? Now hold this book." Then he handed the book to A Mei.
A Mei took the book and said, "Is this for me to look at?"
Xiyang Cai said impatiently, "Look at what? As the saying goes, "Walk like the wind, sit like a pine tree." Put the book on your head." Seeing that A Mei didn't react, he raised his voice and said, "Put it on!"
A Mei realized what Xiyang Cai meant after hearing his last words. She responded with an "Oh!" and put the book on top of her head.
After seeing A Mei put the book on her head, Xiyang Cai used the rattan to direct A Mei's movements while saying, "Head up, chest out, butt in, walk."
A Mei followed Xiyang Cai's instructions and reacted accordingly. Then she started walking like a penguin, making everyone laugh.
Xiyang Cai couldn't stand it anymore and stopped A Mei's movement. He shook his head and said to A Mei, "A Mei, stand aside. Watch how I demonstrate. Remember, head up, chest out, butt in." As he spoke, he demonstrated, walking like a noblewoman! Everyone applauded after watching.
Jigong Fu said with a smile, "Xiyang Cai, I didn't expect you to be able to imitate so well."
Xiyang Cai said proudly, "I've been around in high society. What haven't I seen?"
Seeing Xiyang Cai like this, Li Yu said speechlessly, "Stop acting cool and just teach A Mei quickly."
Xiyang Cai smiled awkwardly and said, "A Mei, do you understand now? If you understand, try it once."
"I understand. I'll try it once and you can see if it's like this?" A Mei said, then imitated Xiyang Cai's way of walking. A Mei walked better than before, but it looked like she was having a cramp. Seeing this, Xiyang Cai had a black line on his forehead.
Li Yu laughed and said, "A Mei, how can you walk like that? You look like you're having a cramp."
A Mei scratched her head and said, "Isn't it supposed to be like this?"
Xiyang Cai said helplessly, "Come on, walk with me." Then the two stood side by side.
Xiyang Cai demonstrated while saying, "Remember, head up, chest out, butt in." A Mei followed behind, learning. A Mei felt like she was getting into the state and closed her eyes as she walked.
Xiyang Cai was walking in front. Seeing that there was a toilet ahead, he turned a corner and continued walking. A Mei walked into the toilet with her eyes closed. Then there was a sound of a head hitting wood. A Mei came out of the toilet, holding her head, and shouted, "It hurts!"
Everyone was holding back their laughter, their faces turning red, afraid that laughing would hurt A Mei's self-esteem.
Xiyang Cai said angrily, "You're walking with your eyes closed, barging around. You can't even walk properly. How can you become a star?"
A Mei was embarrassed by Xiyang Cai's words and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm slow to learn, but I'll try my best." After saying that, she started to walk on her own. She walked about ten times, gradually becoming more elegant each time, slowly becoming a lady.
Everyone saw A Mei's effort and applauded. Fazai shouted, "A Mei, you only learned it after a dozen tries. You're already very smart." Everyone agreed.
A Mei's face turned red from everyone's praise. She modestly said, "It's not as good as everyone says. I only learned so quickly because of Xiyang Cai's teaching and everyone's encouragement."
Xiyang Cai said to A Mei, "That's all for today. Tomorrow I'll teach you English."
A Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you, Xiyang Cai." She bowed.
Xiyang Cai said proudly, "I'm your manager now. This is all part of what I need to teach you. No need to thank me." After saying that, he left singing.
When Xiyang Cai left, Ah Xiang and several female neighbors came to A Mei's side and asked, "A Mei, can you teach us that walking posture that Xiyang Cai just taught you?"
A Mei excitedly responded, "Of course, I'll teach you." Then, all the women in the courtyard started learning the noblewoman's walking posture.
The next day, Li Yu woke up a bit late. He habitually went to kiss Ah Xiang, but she wasn't there. "Where did that girl go so early? What is she doing?" Li Yu thought as he got out of bed and then performed his daily system check-in.
[Check-in successful
Congratulations to the host for gaining proficiency in all languages
Do you accept the transfer?]
"Accept." As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, he immediately fainted on the ground. After a while, he woke up slowly and immediately started cursing.
After Li Yu finished cursing, he didn't see the system reacting. It was playing dead, so he cursed a few more times before going out to wash up.
As soon as Li Yu went out, he saw that Xiyang Cai had somehow obtained a stand. A wooden board was placed on the stand, and Xiyang Cai was using a rattan to point at the foreign characters on the board. Xiyang Cai would say a word, and then the girls in front of him would repeat it. Li Yu heard Xiyang Cai's funny foreign language and couldn't help but laugh.
Ah Xiang heard Li Yu's laughter, stood up and ran to Li Yu, saying, "Brother Yu, you're awake. I'll go make you breakfast."
Li Yu heard this and patted Ah Xiang's head, saying, "You stay here and learn foreign language with Xiyang Cai. I'll go out to eat breakfast myself."
Ah Xiang heard this and went back to the learning group.
Xiyang Cai pointed at the foreign characters on the board and said, "This one, Mr., read 'Neishi ta'. " The group of people below followed along. Then he continued, "This one, 'Nice to meet you', read 'La shi tuo mi qiu'."
Li Yu, who was still holding a mouthful of water, burst out laughing. Lan Yi, who was sitting opposite him, was unlucky and got sprayed in the face. Lan Yi said angrily, "A Yu, what are you doing? You sprayed me all over. You're still laughing? Are you looking for a beating?" Lan Yi finished speaking and picked up the wooden stick used for washing clothes.
Li Yu quickly said, "I'm sorry, Auntie Lan. I didn't mean to. I just couldn't help laughing after hearing what Xiyang Cai said about that foreign word." Seeing that Lan Yi's anger had subsided, Li Yu continued to explain, "Xiyang Cai just said 'Nice to meet you', in foreign language, read 'La shi tuo mi qiu'. You have to drag a mudfish when you go to poop. How did foreigners come up with this." Li Yu started laughing again. Lan Yi heard Li Yu's words and laughed too.
Li Yu couldn't stand Xiyang Cai's special pronunciation of foreign words. He quickly finished washing and left the courtyard.
A Mei was learning foreign words with Xiyang Cai below. After reading a few foreign words, she curiously asked Xiyang Cai, "Xiyang Cai, why are these foreign words so funny? They're either 'Neishi' or 'La shi'."
Hearing A Mei's words, Xiyang Cai stumbled and almost fell. He took a deep breath and said, "A Mei, that's how you read foreign words. Keep learning with me."
A Mei responded with an "Oh!" and continued to learn with Xiyang Cai. In this way, the group learned for a whole morning. They went from being enthusiastic to being listless.
Xiyang Cai only taught three foreign words in a morning. He himself already had a special way of saying them, and now the girls had made it even more special.
Li Yu wandered around outside for a whole morning but didn't find anything suitable for investment. He decided to go back to the courtyard, take Ah Xiang to Dà Sānyuán.
Li Yu just arrived back at the courtyard and saw Xiyang Cai sitting on the ground, weakly pointing at the foreign characters on the board with a rattan and reading. The girls in front of him were sitting on stone benches, seemingly asleep, repeating the words.
Li Yu walked to Ah Xiang's side, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Ah Xiang, how are you learning?"
Ah Xiang, in a daze, was patted on the shoulder by Li Yu and heard his words. She instantly woke up and happily shouted, "Brother Yu, you're back!" Ah Xiang's voice woke up everyone else.
Li Yu touched Ah Xiang's head and asked, "How are you learning?"
Ah Xiang pouted and complained, "Xiyang Cai keeps teaching the same few foreign words."
Li Yu feigned surprise and said, "Xiyang Cai, no way! You said you're good at foreign languages. If you can't, let me teach you this afternoon."
Xiyang Cai insisted, "How can I be bad? It's just that they can't learn."
A Mei exposed him, "We're not stupid. The few foreign words you taught, we can recite them backwards."
Li Yu shook his head and laughed, "Let me teach you then. It's already noon. Everyone go eat first. We'll meet here again this afternoon." Then he took Ah Xiang out of the courtyard.
In the afternoon, Li Yu and Ah Xiang came under the tree and saw that everyone was already sitting in front of the board. To Li Yu's surprise, Xiyang Cai was also there. Li Yu walked to the front of the board. After Ah Xiang sat down, he said, "Read the foreign words you learned this morning."
Everyone heard Li Yu's words and started to read.
Hearing the pronunciation of the foreign words that everyone was reading, Li Yu suppressed a smile and wrote a few foreign words on the board. Then he pointed at those foreign words with a rattan and said, "This one, 'Mister', read 'Mister'. This one, 'Miss', read 'Miss'. This one, 'Nice to meet you', read 'Nice to meet you'."
Li Yu read them aloud, and everyone below followed. Seeing that Li Yu's pronunciation of foreign words was very standard, Xiyang Cai slowly began to learn too. Li Yu taught for an afternoon like this, teaching them all the common greetings in foreign languages. Seeing that he had taught enough, Li Yu said, "You just need to remember these few greeting words. I'll stop teaching here."
Ah Xiang said happily, "Brother Yu, you're amazing! Unlike Xiyang Cai, who knows nothing and still teaches people!"
Xiyang Cai felt like he had been stabbed a dozen times. He couldn't refute! Because it was the truth!
A Mei added, "Brother Yu, why don't you become my manager? I feel like you're better than Xiyang Cai!"
Li Yu quickly interrupted, "A Mei, Xiyang Cai is better. After all, he has done many big deals. He's definitely better than me at negotiating things like advertisements for you."
Hearing Li Yu praise him, Xiyang Cai immediately became arrogant. "Of course, I'm best at doing business. I've negotiated many big deals. A Mei, trust me. I'll help you negotiate the best advertisements, making you a big star!" Xiyang Cai started fantasizing as he spoke.
Everyone saw Xiyang Cai like this and shook their heads and left. A Mei also held her forehead, looking at Xiyang Cai like this. She couldn't bear to see him embarrass himself, so she reminded him, "Xiyang Cai, what are you still doing? Everyone's gone. You're still standing there, laughing foolishly."
Hearing A Mei's voice, Xiyang Cai's fantasy shattered immediately. He looked at A Mei awkwardly and said, "I'm going back. See you tomorrow!" After saying that, Xiyang Cai slipped away!
A Mei saw Xiyang Cai's awkward appearance and burst into laughter.
Over the next two days, A Mei learned with Xiyang Cai, and Li Yu corrected her whenever he saw something wrong.
One morning, Xiyang Cai came to the second floor and called A Mei, "A Mei, the advertisement you shot came out today. Do you want to go get it?"
A Mei turned over and mumbled, "So early? I don't want to go."
Hearing this, Xiyang Cai went by himself.
Li Yu woke up in the morning and performed his daily check-in.
[Check-in successful
Congratulations to the host for gaining Master-level Bajiquan
Do you accept the transfer?]
Li Yu was about to curse again when the system quickly prompted:
[Last time, the system had an error and you fainted. This time, it will definitely be fine. Do you accept the transfer?]
Li Yu said half-believingly, "Accept." As soon as he said it, he felt a tingling sensation in his body. A bunch of knowledge about Bajiquan flowed into his mind, and he realized that his previous self only had brute force, while his current self was both intelligent and brave.
Li Yu practiced Bajiquan in his room for a while before going out to wash up. As soon as he finished washing, he saw Xiyang Cai walking back with his head hung low. Li Yu asked, "Xiyang Cai, what's wrong? You're looking dejected. Did the advertisement deal fall through?"
Xiyang Cai said dejectedly, "Master Yu, guess what advertisement A Mei shot?"
A Mei happened to come downstairs at this time. Seeing that Xiyang Cai was back, she shouted, "Xiyang Cai, you went to get the promotional pictures of my advertisement, did you get them back?"
Xiyang Cai heard this and raised a roll of drawing paper in his hand and said, "I got them."
When A Mei heard this, she rushed downstairs. The neighbors working nearby heard this and also gathered around.
Li Yu curiously asked, "Xiyang Cai, what kind of advertisement did A Mei shoot that made you so dejected?"
Xiyang Cai handed the drawing paper to Li Yu. Li Yu opened it and took a look. Then he handed it to Jigong Fu, who had just arrived, saying, "Brother Fu, take a look."
Jigong Fu happily opened it. When he saw the content of the advertisement drawing paper, he asked in shock, "Xiyang Cai, did you take the wrong one?"
Xiyang Cai said dejectedly, "Actually, the director liked A Mei's feet. Her feet were peeling badly, so he asked her to shoot this athlete's foot advertisement."
At this time, A Mei had already walked to Xiyang Cai's side. She heard Xiyang Cai's words and was stunned. After a while, she said, "I worked so hard for so many days, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding." Tears welled up in A Mei's eyes.
The Han Shi Nai next to A Mei comforted her, "A Mei, even if it's a misunderstanding, the knowledge you've learned over the past few days can be considered an improvement in your own temperament. Don't be sad."
Fazai also said, "Yeah, don't be so sad."
Hearing everyone comforting her, A Mei rushed upstairs.
Seeing A Mei rushing upstairs, Xiyang Cai was afraid that she might do something stupid. He quickly called out to her, "A Mei, where are you going? Don't do anything stupid!"
A Mei turned around and wiped away her tears, saying, "I'm not that stupid. I'm going to get the cigarette box to sell cigarettes." Then she went upstairs.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Taizi Bing and A Wen, one on each side, were supporting Bagu as they walked into the courtyard.
Taizi Bing, seeing a group of people standing at the stairs, shouted loudly, "What are you all standing there for? Did something happen to my family?"
