“Your cousin said that Xiaoping is locked at home for now, but he insists on going out and getting involved in some project and won’t listen to anyone’s persuasion,” Ye Qin said.

“Mom, don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. I’ll go to my uncle’s house. If Xiaoping really did join a pyramid scheme, I’ll persuade him to come out,” Su Jing reassured her and called her cousin to make arrangements to go there.

Looking at the Golden Eagle flying in the sky, Su Jing hesitated for a moment. He had come here on the Golden Eagle earlier because the matter was urgent.

Now that Ye Ping was locked at home with nothing to do, there was no need to rush so riding the Golden Eagle would be a bit too ostentatious.

“Mr. Su, I’ll take you wherever you need to go,” Guang Xuan said as he seemed to have guessed what Su Jing was thinking.

“Hmm… well, I’m sorry to trouble you,” Su Jing hesitated before nodding. Since this guy is so persistent, Su Jing decided to give him a chance. Even though accepting him as an apprentice is impossible for Su Jing but giving a little guidance is still possible.

…

Su Jing, who had been driven by Guang Xuan to the residential area in a neighboring city, carried an ancient zither and several bags of gifts as he made his way up to the fifth floor and rang the doorbell.

After a while, the door opened and he was greeted by Ye Lin, who opened the door to reveal a slender figure and a pretty face. Ye Lin wore shorts and a T-shirt. She has a slender figure and a pretty face and had a small dimple on her right cheek.

Despite the sad expression on her face, her gentle and warm smile gave Su Jing a sense of comfort. Ye Lin is Su Jing’s cousin and the eldest daughter of Su Jing’s uncle’s family. She was one year older than Su Jing.

“A’Jing, you’re here. Come in quickly,” Ye Lin warmly greeted Su Jing, and Guang Xuan who was with Su Jing was invited in as well.

“A’Jing is here.” An old woman with a slightly stooped figure came out of the kitchen and smiled when she saw Su Jing.

“Grandma,” Su Jing called out enthusiastically.

“Really, I haven’t seen you since Chinese New Year, but I see you on the news all the time. While it’s good for young people to work hard, you don’t need to push yourself too hard. You should take better care of your body,” Grandma said as she pulled Su Jing closer for a hug.

“Understood, I’m in good health,” Su Jing said with a smile as he put down a few bags of presents. He especially reminded the grandma, “These peaches are very big and delicious. You should eat them soon because they won’t last long and will rot if you keep them.”

“This peach is so big,” Grandma exclaimed in surprise. Not to mention her, even Guang Xuan and Ye Lin were surprised, as the peach was almost as big as a volleyball, which seemed a little too exaggerated.

Ye Lin suspected that this peach was not a normal fruit. Besides the rumors about Su Jing, even the gifts he had brought during the New Year, such as tea, honey, and Supreme Youthful Medicine, were all rumored to be magical.

However, Su Jing had presented those gifts as ordinary gifts without mentioning anything special about them. But this peach was different, as Su Jing had specifically explained its value, indicating that it was even more precious than those other gifts.

Ye Lin made a mental note to remind her Grandma to eat the peaches properly if she forgot, as Su Jing had specifically mentioned that they might be good for the elderly.

“Where are uncle, aunt, and Xiaoping?” Su Jing asked.

“They’re in the room,” Ye Lin sighed as she replied.

“I don’t know anything about pyramid schemes, but if it’s something bad, A’Jing, you must help persuade Xiaoping not to get involved. I heard from Ye Lin and the others that it could be very serious, and I can’t help but worry,” His Grandma spoke with a worry-filled expression on her face.

“Don’t worry, grandma. You know that I’m a star now, so I have the influence to do what I can to help,” Su Jing comforted.

Ye Lin led Su Jing to a door, which she opened to reveal a middle-aged couple persuading a young man in his early twenties.

“A’Jing, you’re here. Come and persuade Xiaoping and tell him to stop this madness,” Su Jing’s uncle asked as he saw him enter the room.

“He keeps saying that we don’t read much and don’t understand. Ah’Jing, you read a lot, so explain the truth to him,” His aunt also added.

“Cousin, don’t listen to them. I’m not involved in any pyramid schemes. The ones you’re talking about involve selling goods. My investment doesn’t involve goods. It’s a form of direct sales and part of an emerging industry. The government doesn’t mention it publicly, but they actually support it secretly,” Ye Ping said with conviction.

“How can there be any value without commodities?” Su Jing was not in a hurry so he asked with a smile on his face showing great interest in this deal.

“There are several ways to see it. First, when we go there, the expenses for transportation, food, and accommodation can all contribute to the economic development of the business and the country. Second, we’re really learning and growing as we go forward. We bring together so many people, and as long as one of them is financially savvy, they can make a lot of money and give back to all of us. So now you only need to invest 69,800 yuan in developing offline with the others, and you can get back 14.4 million yuan in two years. Don’t think it’s impossible by healing the amount, it’s because you don’t understand this emerging industry and aren’t bold enough. In this world, only the brave people become rich,” Ye Ping explained.

Su Jing nodded, clearly understanding that Ye Ping had been brainwashed.

MLM organizations often prey on people’s greed and instill a set of false beliefs in them, leading some individuals who want something for nothing but lack the ability to discern the truth to be deceived.

It’s important to remember that brainwashing is not difficult and that even those with a college education can fall victim to it. In fact, when people become greedy, their ability to think critically can easily decline.
