BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58: Money Like Water
Chapter 58
Due to the haste and poverty, Shen Feixian simply called three freight trucks.
It was a bit crowded, but it was economical and affordable to save money. You can rinse it with water if it gets dirty, and you don\'t have to pay for damages.
After the trucks started, Shen Feixian sat in the passenger seat and sent a message to Song Jixing.
[Got on the car, we left.]
The reply from Song Jixing’s side was also quick. [Be careful. Be careful of traffic police.]
There were people illegally packed in the back of the truck, violating traffic safety regulations.
After hearing this, Shen Feixian quickly typed a line back, [Don’t worry, I checked the route, I guarantee there are no traffic police on duty on the way back. The rear door is also closed, no one knows there are people behind.]
Sitting on a small bench from the crew in the studio and making up on set, Song Jixing did not feel at ease after seeing this message.
How did senior martial brother know which roads have no traffic police on patrol?
Forget it, overthinking makes me worried, it’s better not to think too much!
Compared to sending these people back, Song Jixing was more troubled with how to arrange these people.
Although she rented a lot of houses, they still could not accommodate so many Miscellaneous Disciples, more than a hundred people coming at once.
Accommodation was a small matter; more important was the problem of food.
If the lunch boxes at the construction site are calculated at 10 yuan per meal, according to the appetite of these Miscellaneous Disciples, Song Jixing would at least have to prepare 50 yuan per meal.
That\'s 150 yuan per day, adding up to about 18,000 yuan for the whole group, multiplied by 31 days per month, which is more than 500,000 yuan!
Song Jixing calculated this figure in her heart, feeling a little breathless!
This was just the cost of meals; adding drinking water, clothing, accommodation and other items, it would be at least 600,000 yuan per month.
600,000 yuan per month was a figure Song Jixing had never dared to think about before. But now, it has become the gap she has to fill every month.
Even if she lived for 2,000 years this year and worked for thousands of years, she still couldn’t bear such a huge responsibility!
Song Jixing sighed silently and silently transferred a large part of her salary she received last month to Shen Feixian.
Song Jixing\'s salary last month was 750,000 yuan. She transferred 500,000 yuan, leaving the rest of the money which would be spent in no time.
[Senior martial brother, I\'ll leave the arrangement of these disciples to you! I\'ll transfer some money to you first!]
Song Jixing had just sent the message when the display showed “typing” on WeChat.
[Junior martial sister, don’t worry! I have recently found some more ways to make money. In a while, who knows if I can start counting money directly.]
Looking at the message on the phone screen, Song Jixing didn’t dare to reply or ask questions. She only hoped that the senior martial brother could be like before.
That the money-making activities would still not violate domestic laws.

When the trucks safely arrived at the steel factory, Shen Feixian helped open the rear doors to let those Miscellaneous Disciples get off one by one. At this time, WenRen He also appeared.
In the process of people slowly getting off, Shen Feixian shouted sentence by sentence, "Everyone don\'t rush! Stand here and wait for me for a moment, and then I will take you to the place later."
Many of the Miscellaneous Disciples did not recognize Shen Feixian, this young prodigy of the younger generation, but they recognized WenRen He! The Peak Master of the entire Mountain Peak was a towering mountain in their hearts.
They obediently listened and stood aside without a sound, not even daring to let their eyeballs wander around, extremely quiet.
This kind of scene aroused the curiosity and also some vigilance of the several truck drivers.
What were these two doing? Why were they so obedient?
Coupled with the desolate environment around the steel factory, their doubts grew even more. This isn’t some kind of pyramid scheme!
One of them opened his mouth directly.
Shen Feixian was well prepared for these situations. He had been constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge, always ready to meet sudden challenges.
"Have you heard in recent years that many unfinished buildings and small communities have been abandoned by developers who ran away with the money? They didn\'t even finish building yet when the developers escaped. Poor workers, many of them have wages owed that were never paid! These people used to work at those construction sites! The bosses left and now they are all unemployed." Shen Feixian pointed to the Miscellaneous Disciples around him and described the situation vividly.
“As for me, I do some small business and have some connections with the Film and Television City! After learning about their situation, I found that many of them came from the mountains and didn’t even have money to get home. So I brought them together and asked if they wanted to go work as extras in crews to earn some money!”
"It\'s hard to get back the money owed, but people still have to eat. Even if the work is dirty and tiring, at least it can fill the stomach for now! Our place here may be a bit shabby, but there’s water and electricity, and a roof over your head to keep out the rain!"
In Shen Feixian’s story, he was a kind-hearted middleman who passed on information and job opportunities.
He brought together a group of unemployed and penniless mountain youth and sent them to work as extras in film and TV crews so they could earn some money for food.
Whether it was because Shen Feixian had a face that easily inspired trust, or because these Miscellaneous Disciples were really dressed like ancient costume drama extras,
the drivers immediately believed Shen Feixian’s words. They praised him as a good person who would surely expand his business in the future!
Shen Feixian laughed gleefully: "Then I\'ll take your blessings!"
After settling the transportation fees, Shen Feixian took them out of the maze and returned to the disciples’ side.
There were only five courtyards rented so far, far from enough for so many people to live in.
As if Song Jixing had foreseen this day, she directly rented the steel factory next door. The workshops inside were empty, spacious enough that quite a few people could live there after simple renovation. It was more cost-effective than individual rooms, could fit more people, and save money.
The problem was that the renovation would cost too much money, and they were still very poor at present.
Shen Feixian could only appease these disciples: "You can see the predicament we are in now, trapped in this mortal world, unable to leave or use spiritual energy."
"There are only these four rooms, not big enough to accommodate everyone. If you want to live more spaciously, you have to fix it up yourselves..." Shen Feixian enumerated.
Fortunately, the Miscellaneous Disciples were very respectful towards WenRen He. They also had no complaints towards Shen Feixian\'s words and listened to his orders carefully.
Considering over 100 people total, with about 30 people living in each room, it was very crowded. Shen Feixian planned to first buy some mattresses, clothes and other daily necessities, so some people could make do staying in the steel factory.
The rest could be transferred over gradually as the steel plant was renovated.
As he made a series of purchase orders, money flowed out as quickly as flowing water, soon revealing the bottom again.
Shen Feixian sighed. He profoundly understood Song Jixing\'s difficulties.

On the other hand, Song Jixing was still shooting at the film set. Her scenes would take two months to finish filming.
In the makeup breaks from her busy schedule, Song Jixing worked with Shen Feixian, deleting many of the security cameras in the Film and Television City.
The surveillance of those 100 plus Disciples appearing out of thin air was especially erased, without any evidence left!
The next day when Song Jixing got up as usual to prepare for filming, she was notified there would be no shooting today!
It was said that Director Zhang had moved into the temple overnight last night.
