QTIMP -Chapter 307 Character Persona – Vain (Part 1)

Ding ding ding—

The sound signaling the end of school rang out. Under the teacher’s guidance, a group of little children lined up and walked out through the school gate.

Si Qiu carried a pink little backpack on her back. Wearing a snow-white princess dress, she lowered her head and walked out of the school step by step, looking gloomy.

The moment she stepped out of the school gate, her body suddenly became light as someone picked her up.

“Teacher Zhang, thank you for taking care of our Qiu Qiu. I’ll take my child home first.”

The person holding her spoke in a deep voice, carrying a hint of hoarseness.

The teacher’s face turned slightly red as she said, “Qiu Qiu’s father, there’s no need to be so polite. Qiu Qiu is a very obedient child. It’s just that she had a small argument with a classmate today and seemed a little upset. When you get home, comfort her properly.”

After exchanging a few more polite words, Si Qiu was carried away. She was placed onto a three-wheeled vehicle parked nearby.

The moment the vehicle started moving, it made a particularly loud noise, and the vibrations were extremely strong. Si Qiu had no choice but to grab the iron railing beside her with her small hands.

After finally arriving at their destination, Si Qiu was carried down and walked into a two-room mud house.

With her short little legs, Si Qiu took off her backpack and tossed it onto the table in the main room. Then she sat down on her own little chair and let out a sigh.

Si Yangui put the vegetables and other things he had bought from the tricycle aside, then squatted down in front of Si Qiu.

He sighed and gently asked, “What’s wrong with Daddy’s precious little girl?”

Si Qiu glanced upward with her eyes, then turned her body away.

“Hmph.”

Si Yangui moved to the other side and squatted down again, continuing to ask, “Baby, did Daddy upset you? Then can you remind Daddy what he did wrong?”

Si Qiu crossed her arms. Her little arms were still so short that she had to struggle slightly to wrap them around herself.

“Hmph! It was you who upset me. Today, I competed with my classmate Juanjuan to see whose father was more impressive, and I lost.”

Si Yangui felt helpless but still asked with a smile, “Then how is Daddy not as good as her father?”

Si Qiu puffed up her cheeks angrily.

“Juanjuan’s father drives a car, but you only ride a tricycle. Daddy, you need to work harder. You keep doing odd jobs, and you can only ever be a brick mover. You need to learn how to start a business, make it bigger and stronger, and create new glory.”

Si Yangui gave a helpless smile. His daughter was truly a little clever spirit. Strange and unusual phrases always seemed to pop out of her mouth.

It was the 1990s now. As long as someone dared to fight and work hard, even if they couldn’t become extremely rich, raising their standard of living by two levels was still possible.

The father and daughter, Si Qiu and Si Yangui, had come from a small mountain village.

When Si Qiu first transmigrated into this world, Si Yangui had just been discharged from the army after suffering a serious injury.

At that time, his injuries were severe. Not only did he have difficulty moving, but he was also unable to have any more children.

Si Qiu’s mother, Yang Meina, used wanting to have a son as an excuse and divorced him.

She did not take the child but took half of his military discharge compensation.

The situation had become extremely ugly. Si Qiu was still young, so nobody paid much attention to her. By the time Si Yangui noticed something was wrong, the child had already been switched.

After Si Qiu woke up, the father and daughter could barely survive in the village.

After all, when Yang Meina left, she had completely humiliated and insulted the two of them.

Si Yangui became the man in the village whose leg was crippled and who was incapable of being a man.

Si Qiu became a little child who was greedy for food and drink, a wild child with no manners.

If this had been Si Qiu herself, she absolutely would not have cared about these things.

But the personality setting of this world did not allow that.

She liked becoming the center of attention. She liked the admiring and envious gazes of others.

She could not stand people looking at her with pity or contempt.

So she secretly added a little something to her father’s medicine. After nearly half a year of recovery, Si Yangui was finally able to take care of himself again.

Then Si Qiu deliberately provoked the village children, letting them bully her, and afterward cried, saying that she did not want to stay there anymore.

Si Yangui had already been injured, and she was his only child.

Moreover, the environment in this small village truly was not suitable for them. He also still had some money in hand.

So he took Si Qiu and moved to the city.

He needed to find work and earn money. Once Si Qiu reached the appropriate age, he immediately sent her to kindergarten.

He always felt that he owed this daughter too much.

When he was unable to move around, it was his daughter who brought him tea and water. When he was at his most miserable, it was his daughter who stayed by his side. He always wanted to give her the best.

So he directly found a kindergarten with excellent conditions. This also allowed Si Qiu to breathe a sigh of relief. At the very least, the children attending this kindergarten were clean and well-behaved.

The teachers were also more responsible.

Otherwise, she really would have thrown a tantrum and refused to go to kindergarten.

Of course, a good kindergarten was not cheap. So he followed others and held up cardboard signs on the street looking for odd jobs. Surprisingly, he had quite a few skills. He knew some masonry work, carpentry, and even how to drive.

Like this, he worked hard every day, earning money through his labor. Nearly a month had passed, and the father and daughter pair had finally gotten their lives back on track.

But Si Qiu felt that she had worked too hard in her previous life. In this life, she didn’t want to do anything herself, so she decided to brainwash her father into making her a rich second-generation daughter.

And sure enough, when she came back today, she started causing trouble again.

During this period of time, Si Yanguian had also come to understand his daughter’s personality.

She liked showing off in front of the people around her and becoming the center of attention.

However, he thought this was completely normal. Children all had a certain amount of vanity. Instead, as her father, he felt that he was the one at fault for not being able to provide his child with a better life, causing her to feel disappointed.

He brought over a basin of water and washed his daughter’s face and hands.

In a gentle voice, he explained, “Baby, doing business requires capital. You also need to understand the market. Daddy has already been working hard during this period of time. Don’t worry. Daddy will definitely let you live a good life.”

“What kind of good life?” Si Qiu lifted her round little face and let him wipe it.

“Then what kind of good life do you want?”

Si Yanguian looked at his daughter as she seriously thought about it. The more he looked at her, the more adorable he found her.

He wanted to kiss her chubby little face, but then he remembered that he hadn’t shaved yet.

The little one would probably dislike him again, so he held himself back.

Si Qiu muttered to herself, “I want everyone to envy me, so I need lots and lots of money. But I don’t want to work too hard either. Then how can I have a steady stream of money?”

Afterward, Si Qiu suddenly clapped her hands.

“Daddy, build me several buildings. Then in the future, I can collect rent. This job isn’t too tiring, and I’ll still have money to spend. If I run out of money, I can just sell one building and continue spending. Isn’t this much easier and more relaxing than running a company?”

Si Yanguian untied the braids in her hair and gently massaged her scalp.

“Sure. Daddy will work hard and build you several buildings all over the country, so that you can collect rent and live comfortably in the future.”

Mm, as long as she had this ambition, it was fine. At least she wasn’t someone who was overly content with the status quo.

Si Qiu had no idea what it meant to be reserved, so she jumped down from the small stool and chased after Si Yanguian while asking:

“When will you buy a four-wheeled car? I can’t lose to other people. Also, where is the red dress I wanted? It needs to go with red leather shoes and white socks.”

“Daddy will get paid in three days. Then I’ll buy the red dress and red shoes you picked out.”

“Alright, but don’t forget.”

Her father was still too poor right now. It seemed she would have to give him a little help.

Sigh! Everything required investment first. In order to make her father successful as soon as possible, she had no choice.

Looks like she still needed to give her father a cheat ability.
