Chapter 105: The Highly Sought-After Su Muyu

Chapter 105: The Highly Sought-After Su Muyu

Ningyun District, No. 12 Fengxi Third Alley.

This was an old building with four floors in total. The landlord rented it out, with each floor occupied by a different family.

Su Muyu and her mother lived on the third floor.

The building was a bit old, but each floor had its own kitchen and bathroom, which was convenient.

Since childhood, Su Muyu had moved houses three times with her mother. Once, when she started elementary school, they moved closer to the school. Another time, when she entered middle school, they relocated near the school.

The third time was when she started high school, but this time, they didn't move closer to the school.

The high school was a prestigious city key high school, and the surrounding area was expensive, with no affordable housing available.

Moreover, after Su Muyu started high school, she chose to live on campus, so there was no need to move closer to the school.

Therefore, the last time Su Muyu's mother moved, she settled near the garment factory. This way, even if she worked late into the night, she wouldn't have to worry about getting home, and she could earn more money.

Ever since the Abyssal invasion, Su Muyu had become an Energic with a high rank, and she had also made a lot of money.

The money she earned was enough to improve their living conditions, but buying a house was still a distant dream.

Initially, Su Muyu had wanted her mother to move to a better neighborhood, but her mother refused, wanting to save the money instead.

Due to her upbringing, even Su Muyu had developed a frugal personality, so one can imagine how stubborn her mother was in this regard.

Most of the residents in Fengxi Third Alley were employees of the garment factory, and they were all acquaintances, so they had become accustomed to living there.

Consequently, Su Muyu didn't force her mother to move.

That afternoon, Su Muyu returned home and hadn't even changed her shoes when she saw a pile of gift boxes in the living room.

"Mom, who sent all these things?"

Su Muyu's mother emerged from the kitchen with a beaming smile and said, "A company sent them over, and they're all for you. They said it's a token of appreciation for your help."

"What help? I haven't helped any company," Su Muyu frowned.

Her mother furrowed her brows and said, "These are all good things. I opened one of the boxes to check, and it's not a scam. The sender didn't ask for anything in return; they just delivered the gifts and left."

Su Muyu became even more puzzled and asked hurriedly, "Who sent them? You can't just accept gifts from strangers."

"I've lived half my life, and this is the first time someone has come to our door with gifts. I don't know what to do," her mother explained, seeing her daughter's concerned expression.

"It's okay. Just tell me, who sent them?"

Su Muyu understood her mother's cautious nature; she was a meticulous person who had worked hard to raise her. Suddenly receiving gifts made her both happy and flustered.

Su Muyu took out a business card and said, "The person also gave me this business card. They said that if you join their company, they will sponsor your education, and you won't have to work. They'll even pay you a monthly salary. According to them, the monthly salary is higher than what you make in a year."

Su Muyu took the business card and, as she had suspected, it was indeed from the Springtop Group.

She took a deep breath and said, "Mom, these gifts aren't for me. They're not trying to hire me; they want me to convince Lu Heng to join them."

Su Muyu's mother had heard Lu Heng's name a few times and knew he was her daughter's classmate and that they were close friends. However, she had never met him.

Seeing her daughter's worried expression, she immediately became concerned, "Muyu, did I cause trouble for you?"

Su Muyu, noticing her mother's anxiety, quickly calmed herself and replied with a serene expression, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll handle this. I'll find that person and return the gifts."

"From now on, if something like this happens again, refuse everything and don't accept anything. If there's something you want, we'll buy it ourselves.

"I can earn money now, and I've given you the bank card with our team's bonus. You know how much money is in there."

To reassure her mother, Su Muyu handed her the bank card with the team's bonus.

For someone like her mother, who had toiled for half her life, having a substantial sum of money in hand meant a sense of security for the future.

Su Muyu understood her mother's frugal nature, so to ease her mind, she let her keep the money.

Her mother held onto the money and was reluctant to spend it. She would check the balance from time to time, which gave her a sense of reassurance.

However, she still had some concerns, "Muyu, you're still so young, and you're already earning money. Won't you be too tired?"

Su Muyu smiled and said, "No, not at all. Someone is out there taking care of my daughter, shielding her from the wind and rain. It's not tiring at all."

"That's good, that's good," her mother said. She had always known her daughter was smart, and to ensure her education, she had moved with her every time they changed schools.

She also knew that Su Muyu was now an Energic, just like the people they saw on the news.

Although she believed in her daughter's abilities, she couldn't shake off her worries.

...

As Su Muyu was pondering how to deal with these gifts, her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was Lu Heng calling.

Seeing his name on the screen, Su Muyu's eyes lit up with excitement. She answered the call and asked, "Hello, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

Lu Heng: "There's an Ultimate Auction tonight with some rare items. Lin Zeyu and I plan to check it out. Do you want to come along?"

Su Muyu readily agreed without much thought, "Sure! When are we going?"

Lu Heng: "A car is already on its way to pick you up. Before we go, we need to find you an evening gown, so you'll have to come and choose an outfit."

Su Muyu pursed her lips, "Is it that complicated?"

Lu Heng also wanted to see Su Muyu in an evening gown, knowing she would look amazing.

In his previous life, he had always been in a wheelchair, so he had never seen her in an evening gown.

After hanging up the phone, Su Muyu hugged her mother and said, "Don't worry, life will get better and better, and you won't have to work so hard anymore."

Su's mother, knowing her daughter's intelligence from a young age, felt relieved and her eyes misted over. She quickly wiped them with the back of her hand.

...

Su Muyu left the house, got into a car at the intersection of Fengxi Third Alley, and headed for Century Plaza.

Lu Heng sat with her in the back seat, speaking in a low voice.

Su Muyu chose her words carefully, "Well... there's something I need to tell you. The Springtop Group sent a lot of gifts to my house. My mom doesn't know why, but she accepted them all."

"In a couple of days, I'll figure out a way to return the items. I'm worried that the Springtop Group will use this as leverage to make demands, so I wanted to let you know."

Lu Heng looked at her worried expression and smiled, "It's no big deal. My family also received a lot of gifts. If you don't want them, you can just throw them away. Or you can find a shop that sells second-hand gifts, have them take everything away, and get the money back."

Su Muyu nodded, "That's indeed more convenient."

Lu Heng stared at her expression for a while, making her feel uncomfortable.

Su Muyu shrunk back into her seat and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Lu Heng had a good idea of how the Springtop Group might have persuaded her mother, so he asked, "How much money did the Springtop Group promise your mom?"

"Hmm..."

Su Muyu hesitated for a moment before answering, "Ten thousand a month... as salary."

The major powers signing with psychics these days offered salaries, and ten thousand a month wasn't a small amount, but for Su Muyu's level, it wasn't extravagant.

Lu Heng adjusted the co-pilot's seat and asked, "Is Universe still signing people?"

Lin Zeyu was startled and almost jumped up. He turned around and said, "Yes! Of course they're signing! If Miss Su is willing to join Universe, we'll offer her the best contract, the very best. No, double the best contract!"

This contract wasn't just about signing a Level 20 Support Psychic; it was like tying down Lu Heng, a powerful figure.

If the Springtop Group got this deal, their contract would be extraordinary.

Su Muyu didn't want to be treated too specially, so she quickly waved her hand, "No need for such a high offer, a regular contract will do."

Being as smart as she was, Su Muyu understood that signing this contract would indirectly tie Lu Heng to the company.

However, she didn't want to limit Lu Heng's options because of her, so she wasn't planning to ask for special treatment.

Therefore, after careful consideration, she emphasized, "I'm willing to join Universe as a Support Psychic, but I want my treatment to be based solely on my abilities, without any other connections."

"Of course, of course! If Miss Su joins us, we'll offer her the top salary. Other companies would only offer higher prices," Lin Zeyu was ready to agree to anything.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "The Springtop Group came to your house, so do you want to move? I plan to have my parents move to Jade Peak Lake."

"Hmm..."

Su Muyu was stunned. She had thought about it, but the amount she had saved so far was still far from enough.

In fact, over the past few months, she had saved close to a million.

This amount was astronomical for her mother, who had never seen so much money in her life.

However, this sum was still far from enough to buy a house in Binhai.

Not to mention a high-end property like Jade Peak Lake.

Hearing this, Lin Zeyu thought, I'm the one who should be moving!

He immediately patted the seat back and said, "Yes, let's move to Jade Peak Lake. The company will offer you an interest-free mortgage, and the monthly payments will be deducted from your salary. What do you think?"

Lin Zeyu had two buildings at Jade Peak Lake, and he was willing to offer one of them to sign Su Muyu, a highly sought-after psychic. It was a great deal for him.

"Is that possible?" Su Muyu wasn't sure, and the quick resolution of the issue made her feel like it was too good to be true.

"Of course it's possible! I'd be thrilled. Moreover, Lu Heng's parents will also be moving to Jade Peak Lake, so you'll be neighbors," Lin Zeyu chuckled, feeling that the 'neighbor' aspect was crucial.

Su Muyu's heart pounded wildly, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly, and her voice became a bit stuttered, "Then... will my salary be enough for the monthly payments?"

"Of course it will! Goodness, Miss Su, you don't know that any psychic team would offer you an annual salary of seven figures or more," Lin Zeyu was very familiar with this matter, as he had been recruiting and being recruited by competitors for psychics during this time.

The salaries offered by these competitors for high-level psychics were getting higher and higher.

"Then... okay," Su Muyu's heart was filled with joy, and she could barely contain her smile.
