Chapter 245: Sending Off the Woman
The social atmosphere in our country today is quite troubling—people seem to have lost their faith, prioritizing money above all else. Money has become almighty and now dictates the lives of everyone.
Generations of young saplings grow up only to be lured astray by society’s various influences, so many underage boys and girls lose their way at the very outset of their lives.
Nehemiah said to Yusuf about finding high school students—Yusuf had heard about this too. In their county towns, situations like these were common; many high school and even junior high school female students would sell their youth and bodies for a smartphone, for a beautiful dress, or even just for phone credit or data charges.
No one forced them; it was all voluntary. And this phenomenon was not limited to Ulanqab—it could be said to be nationwide.
Though Yusuf was not exactly a moral paragon, and even though he had made some money, there were some things that went against basic human decency that he would not do. So, he firmly refused Nehemiah’s suggestion to go out and have fun.
Besides, he was here to invest, a major investor at that. If he went out and messed around with Nehemiah, it would mean he lacked standards and was negligent of his status, which would earn him contempt.
However, he genuinely liked Nehemiah’s resort villa. It was a ten-kilometer distance from the city center, with a good concrete road all the way there, situated near the prairie. Although there were no mountains, there was a naturally formed lake, known locally as a "paozi," home to various wild fish species, as well as wild ducks, pheasants, rabbits, and even vegetable and vine gardens.
Winter, covered in a blanket of snow, might not show it, but come spring or summer, the place would undoubtedly be stunning.
