Chapter 614: Chapter 281: Do People with Mental Illness Have to Look for Jobs Too?_2

Wang Xu stated his purpose.

Currently, he was in his trial period at the Maritime Bureau.

Assisting the children of martyrs like Qi Yuan would score him significant points.

Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this, "Aren’t I mentally ill? Do mentally ill people need to find jobs too?"

Would any company dare to hire someone with mental illness?

Isn’t Vault Star taking things too far, requiring mentally ill people to find jobs?

Wang Xu couldn’t help but pause.

After all, it was the first time he had heard someone with mental illness say as if it were a matter of course, "Do people with mental illness also need to work?"

It sounded especially strange.

Li Yan was also stunned.

But after thinking about it, he understood; people with mental illness aren’t stupid, they just have some issues with their thoughts.

"If you don’t work, based on the state’s subsidies, you can indeed get by.

But well..." Wang Xu mused, "Qi Yuan, what I’m going to say next might be hurtful, please don’t take it to heart.

If you just stay at home all the time without a proper job,

it’ll be hard for you to get married and have children.

Even if the state arranges matchmaking sessions, those women won’t take an interest in you."

In Qin Yuan Nation, there are many protections for the children of martyrs.

Not only are there various subsidies, but matchmaking is also arranged.

However, Qi Yuan, due to certain mental health issues, is probably at the bottom of the matchmaking market.

After all, which woman would want to bring home a burden?

"Right, Qi Yuan, without a stable job, you have a very low success rate in matchmaking.

Unlike Wang Xu who has a job at the Maritime Bureau and is about to get promoted at such a young age.

If he goes to matchmaking, he is a hot commodity," said Li Yan, enviously smoothing his hair as he looked at Wang Xu.

"You’re exaggerating; it’s just an ordinary job," Wang Xu waved his hand, but the smug look in his eyes couldn’t be concealed. He continued to look at Qi Yuan and slowly said, "The job I’ve found for you is very easy. You just need to help someone watch their warehouse and prevent theft—no technical skills involved, anyone can do it."

Li Yan also eagerly persuaded, "Right, Qi Yuan, you should consider it.

Your parents wouldn’t want their lineage to end with them, would they?"

Seeing their reactions, Qi Yuan’s eyes revealed a smile, "Working a job is out of the question."

He shook his head outright.

Returning to a society similar to that of Blue Star and then asking him to work a job.

Were they trying to kill him?

"You don’t have to worry about me, I will find a wife without working!" Qi Yuan said without hesitation.

If he wanted, he could even directly go with Xiao Jia to the civil affairs office to register for marriage.

Moreover, once he improved his strength, if he could project the Stellar Gold Core into this universe, then he would be able to summon Ningtuo as well to register for marriage together.

Only that, it might constitute the crime of bigamy.

But Qi Yuan wasn’t afraid.

He had a certificate of mental illness.

This certificate was a protective talisman.

He wasn’t afraid of breaking the law, so why worry about the crime of bigamy?

"This..." Wang Xu wanted to persuade him further.

After all, Qi Yuan was ill and jobless, making getting married and having children incredibly tough.

"If you don’t have a job..." Li Yan wanted to add something, "and no money, you won’t even be able to afford a nice meal."

At that moment, the crew-cut man’s eyes lit up, "Ah, your thinking is too old-fashioned.

With Qi Yuan’s conditions, how can he not find a wife?

I know a girl who is quite pretty and virtuous, who has been wanting to date recently, I could introduce her to Qi Yuan."

Li Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and whispered to the crew-cut man, "Don’t ruin someone else’s daughter."

Wang Xu, however, scrutinized the crew-cut man, showing a thoughtful expression, "What kind of woman, and how’s her character?"

"Her character is very good; she even received a scholarship in college.

Alas, she comes from a humble background, from a remote area but is very diligent.

She has always wanted a Tianyue City hukou... so, well..." The crew-cut man recounted the woman’s background.

A girl from a poor background with great ambition.

Tianyue City, within Qin Yuan Nation, is a provincial capital.

A hukou from this place is quite precious.

Especially for someone like Qi Yuan with a three-bedroom apartment.

If sold, the apartment could be worth four to five million Qin Yuan Currency, which is something poor people would struggle to afford in their entire lives.

Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, "Qi Yuan is your old classmate, don’t trick him. If that girl happens to..."

Wang Xu felt it hard to finish the words.

What if it’s a marriage scam?

After all, Qi Yuan had some mental issues.

With just a little manipulation, that girl could easily take possession of Qi Yuan’s property and wealth.

"Don’t worry, the girl I know is particularly honest," the buzz-cut man said with a smile in his eyes, "She’s also very traditional and conservative. If she sets her heart on someone, she’ll probably never give up on him

Last time, she complained to me about only having met a blind date guy three times, and that guy was already eager to hold her hand. She found it despicable; you can tell she’s very conservative."

The buzz-cut man said cheerfully.

Of course, these were the words the woman had said in his bed.

At the time, the buzz-cut man also asked, "I’ve only met you twice, even less than that blind date guy. How come you..."

The woman shook her head and replied, "It’s different with you, that was a blind date."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xu didn’t say anything.

"What’s the matter, class president, you don’t trust me, Cui Fan?" the buzz-cut man asked, his voice carrying a note of challenge.

Wang Xu hesitated for a long time but still couldn’t utter a word.

Then, Cui Fan said with dissatisfaction, "Class president, although I made some mistakes when I was young during college, taking out some high-interest loans, I’ve reformed ever since I graduated and now have a decent job. Don’t look at me through colored glasses!"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Yan spoke up, "Wang Xu, Cui Fan has changed now. He became a manager at a pharmaceutical company in less than a year after graduating."

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Although he received subsidies, he only made a little over two thousand a month.

It was barely enough for his own living expenses.

Wanting to buy various materials for immortal cultivation and martial training, he couldn’t do it without money.

Upon hearing Cui Fan mention high-interest loans, many ideas popped up in his mind.

What about emulating a former acquaintance... taking out a high-interest loan?

Qi Yuan had seen many TV shows and anime where the protagonists, at the start of their businesses, were short on cash.

What to do when you lack cash?

Take a high-interest loan!

And if you don’t pay back the loan, so be it!

After all, in Qin Yuan Nation, most high-interest loans operated on the fringes of the law.

Most of these loans were backed by the underworld, and the lenders weren’t decent folks.

By taking out a loan, Qi Yuan saw it as eliminating a public nuisance.

After all, he had no intention of repaying the loan.

"I won’t get involved in this matter. As long as you can persuade Qi Yuan that’s enough

Qi Yuan, as for the job I referred to you, if you have time you should still go and report for duty," Wang Xu continued.

Whether it was for a promotion or not, being able to lend Qi Yuan a hand was no big deal.

"Okay," the buzz-cut man said, revealing a dazzling smile.

Qi Yuan also nodded and said with good EQ, "Thank you."

In the time that followed, everyone chatted in the room for a while.

Worried about Qi Yuan’s health, they didn’t stay too long.

At this point, looking at the empty room, Qi Yuan took out his phone and found Cui Fan’s number in his contacts.

He thought about it and sent a message, "Cui Fan, could you lend me some money?"

It would be less troublesome to ask others than to look for it himself.

After all, it seemed like Cui Fan was harboring ill intentions towards him.

"Ah? Borrow money, how much, what for?" Cui Fan’s reply came back quickly.

"Borrow ten thousand yuan, I’m a bit short right now," Qi Yuan said casually.

"This..." Cui Fan hesitated, if he weren’t plotting to take Qi Yuan’s property, he definitely wouldn’t bother with a borrower. However, he still showed concern, "I don’t have money on me right now, sorry.

By the way, Qi Yuan, would you like to meet Xiao Mei in three days? If you want to go meet her, I can tell you a way to make money."

"Sure," Qi Yuan said with a smile in his eyes, waiting for just that one sentence.

Given Cui Fan’s character, how could he ever willingly lend ten thousand yuan to him?

"I have a contact for a high-interest loan. How about, after you meet Xiao Mei in three days, you meet with that loan contact?" Cui Fan spoke tentatively.

"Hmm... do they loan a large amount? I’m really in need of money," Qi Yuan asked.

He wanted to borrow more.

"A lot, rest assured, with your house as collateral, a loan of four or five million is no problem," Cui Fan answered truthfully.

Qi Yuan’s house was worth four or five million, but in reality, even four or five million wouldn’t be easily secured.

Both he and Xiao Mei owed hundreds of thousands in high-interest debt.

It was precisely because they could not repay it that they conspired together to scheme Qi Yuan out of his property.
