Chapter 45: Women Also Have Times of Being Top-Heavy but Brain-Light

  At more than 7 o'clock in the evening, Ma Pei received a call from Zhang Sen and brought 100,000 yuan to Ling Ziwai's sisters for tomorrow's hospital deposit and future treatment. Although Ma Pei repeatedly refused, Ling Ziwai still seriously wrote him an IOU and sincerely thanked him.

  Ke'er sat to one side, playing with a stack of money in her hand. Suddenly, she asked very innocently: "Ah Bei Gege, how do you have so much money? Can you tell me how to make a lot of money? When I get better, I'll learn from you and earn lots of money for Jie Jie, then Jie Jie won't have to work so hard anymore."

  Ma Pei couldn't help but smile at her childish words and teased her, saying: "Actually, making money is easy, just get rid of the internal and external thieves."

  "Ah?" Ke'er's eyes widened in surprise and she asked curiously, "Really? What are internal enemies and external enemies?"

  "Hmm," Ma Pei thought for a moment, then replied very seriously, "There are five internal and external thieves. To get rich, you must first deal with the external thieves and then the internal thieves. The external thieves include 'eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body'!

  "Let's talk about eyes first, this thing is very cheap, loves to look at beauties. But if you want to see beauties for a long time, every moment, you have to hide them in a golden house, and waste money on it. Can't you spend the night with an unattractive woman? The ancients also said, 'An ugly wife is a treasure at home', that's what it means!"

  "Let's talk about ears, this thing loves to listen to music, loves to listen to songs, and has to spend money buying a record player, buying records and so on. Actually, if it's really annoying, you can just go out on the street and listen to people arguing."

  "The third one is about the nose, this thing likes to smell fragrant things by nature, buying perfume and fresh flowers also costs money. In fact, if you lie in a horse stable or a pigsty, you won't have such thoughts!"

  "There's also the tongue, especially children who like good flavors. You say in the past when we were poor, some people ate Guanyin clay and dug wild vegetables. It was really possible to survive without spending a single cent!"

  "Let's talk about the human body, a smelly skin bag that costs money to maintain. In summer, you need to wear silk, in winter, you need to wear down, and people always want to wear some brand name or other. But no matter how well you dress, it's just cheapening yourself for others' benefit, so they can look at you and think you're good-looking. Why not learn from primitive society, use some leaves to cover up, weave a grass ring to wear, and save a lot of money? What do you say?"

  Before he finished speaking, the three of them had already burst out laughing, and yet he still asked with a serious face if it was true!

  Ling Ziwei laughed so hard she was almost out of breath, nodding in agreement: "Alright alright, then Pei Shao, this external thief has spoken, which five are the internal thieves?"

  Ma Pei replied very seriously: "There are also five internal thieves: 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faithfulness'. If you don't eliminate these five thieves, even if you get rid of external thieves, it's still harder to make a big fortune than ascending to heaven!"

  "First, let's talk about benevolence! This benevolence is the root of all evil. Once you have this idea in your mind, it's over. Helping relatives and friends, no amount of money is enough to use up, even the prodigal son didn't behave like this!"

  "Let's talk about righteousness. This thing, you absolutely cannot get involved with: see righteousness forget benefits, okay, you have a sense of justice, so lend me tens of thousands to spend! Or, let me take over your business, aren't you all about being righteous? I'm giving you this opportunity! You still want to make money, where does the money come from?"

  "When it comes to etiquette, the Master said that courtesy demands reciprocity. If someone gives you something, can't you return it? If someone invites you to dinner ten times, don't you have to invite them back once? In this way, when will you ever get rich? Which is better, coming without going?"

  "There's also that cleverness, it won't work either! You're smart, so many people will ask you to do things for them. If you only focus on doing things for others, you'll definitely miss out on making money! Don't you think?"

  "In the end, it's all about trust. This thing is the most despicable! The ancients said 'one promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!' Once you make a promise, a thousand pieces of gold are gone! How unprofitable is that? How can you possibly get rich? Therefore, these five internal enemies must be eliminated!"

  Listening to his lengthy speech, the three of them were delighted and Zhang Sen laughed: "No wonder Pei Shao can make a fortune, it turns out that he has mastered the art of making money! I'm enlightened! However, you spoke a bit too much, let me summarize it for you. To make a fortune, one must: not be afraid to lose face, not love fame, disregard shame, and not fear being scolded! Then, in front of the God of Wealth, make a grand vow: for life, never do a single good deed, and wealth will come pouring in! That's it!"

  Ma Pei and Ling Ziwai sister laughed so hard they couldn't catch their breath, Ma Pei laughed and scolded: "Damn it, I finally understand! You didn't go into business, that's the greatest fortune for our generation of businessmen! Otherwise, who else would have money to make? Alas, I say Ah Sen, haven't you saved a lot of money in these few years? No shame, no love, no integrity, not afraid of being scolded, never doing a good deed, and yet wealth keeps pouring in? Has your wife's dowry been prepared? When are you going to bring your sister-in-law into the house?"

  Zhang Sen smiled and was about to speak when the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. He apologized to the three of them with a nod, picked up the phone, and saw that it displayed "Lü Jiangnan". He quickly walked to one side, pressed the answer button: "Hello? Anan? What's wrong?"

  "On the phone, Lü Jiangnan didn't waste any words: 'If you don't have anything urgent to attend to, get to your office immediately and wait for me, I'll be there in ten minutes.'"

  Zhang Sen was taken aback and turned his head to glance at the three people who were chatting and laughing: "Now? Is there something particularly important? Ma Pei is at my place."

  "Ah, my fragile heart! It hurts so much! So in your heart, Ma Pei is still more important than me? You'd rather be with Ma Pei who you can see every day than with me who rarely comes to G City. Fine, I'll only say one thing to you: whether or not we meet again is up to you!"

  "Damn it!" Zhang Sen cursed him, "Your dog mouth can't spit out ivory! You'd better have something very important, otherwise see how I deal with you."

  Lü Jiangnan chuckled softly again: "I've said it before, I'll only say one sentence, whether you come or not is up to you, and as for whether it's an especially important matter, you decide for yourself! All I'm telling you is that I thought of a question. And this question can be summed up in one sentence."

  "From what I know of you, you're not that boring a person. Alright, what's the question? Don't beat around the bush, just say it." Zhang Sen also smiled.

  Lü Jiangnan said word by word: "This sentence is: Women are also human, and they also have times when they are big-breasted but brainless! And this occasionally big-breasted but brainless woman, no need for me to specifically point out which woman it refers to, right? Whether you come or not, it's up to your own convenience!"
