Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

1916, Paramount in the Sea

There was a knock on the door.

Chengcheng just opened her eyes and sat up. Before she got out of bed to open the door, she saw a group of women pushing the door open and coming in without saying hello.

The leader was a woman who was probably in her thirties, wearing a cheongsam and holding an open fan in her hand.

He came in, fanning her and yelling at her, "Qiuxiang, you damned girl, hurry up and get up. Today is your big day, you guys hurry over there and grab her and dress her up for me."

The women behind her all sighed, then quickly walked over, lifted her up, and moved her to sit in front of the dressing table.

Before Cheng Cheng could figure out what was going on, she was forcefully beaten up. The women were rude to her and even wanted to take off her clothes.

Seeing this, Cheng Cheng quickly protected them, slapped their hands and angrily said, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? What day is today? Don't you know?! You've been here for a few years, and you don't even know the rules!! Don't just stand there like an idiot, get off your clothes!"

Cheng Cheng grabbed the scissors in front of the dressing table and threatened: "I'm warning you, if anyone comes close to me, be careful or I'll hurt you with the scissors!"

The woman holding a fan came over and said with a smile: "Hey, you still want to hurt me?! Do you know whose territory this is? Once you enter this Paramount, you have to listen to me. Don't say that I stripped you, even if I send you to a man's bed, you can't complain!"

Mom? Where is she? Is it a brothel? ! !

While Chengcheng was frowning and thinking, the woman took advantage of her unpreparedness and winked at someone again, asking him to snatch the scissors from her hand.

Then he shouted, "What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and dress her up. She'll be useful tonight."

The women started moving again, and this time Chengcheng was not so resistant.

She needed to wait for these people to leave so that she could absorb the memories and better understand her situation.

But even if she was willing to cooperate, she couldn't leave the door open like this and be seen by others. She pinched her collar and said, "You go out and close the door first. I can take it off myself."

"Xiao Qiuxiang, what are you afraid of? Our Paramount is closed during the day, there can't even be a male fly inside, and even if you see one, she's still a woman." The woman sneered and exhaled, "No room for negotiation, take off her clothes and change!"

"Not even women. If you don't kick them out and close the door, I won't cooperate!"

"When will it be your turn to bargain with me?"

"You can use me tonight. If I don't perform well, it's your people who will be lost." Although she didn't know what she could do with her, it didn't stop her from trying.

"Forget it. I still need you to perform well tonight. Go and close the door for her."

Only after the women put down their clothes and went out, and the door of the room was closed, did Chengcheng put down his hands.

"I'll give you one minute, Qiuxiang. When the time is up, I'll open the door and come in."

"I know."

Who are these people? Why do they treat her like this? Could it be that the original owner really ended up in a brothel? !

In just a few moments, Cheng Cheng thought of several possibilities.

She took off her clothes and changed them. Now was not a good time to receive memories.

one minute later

The door opened again, and the woman with a round fan in her hand came over and pinched her face with her hands, looking her up and down and looking very satisfied.

Her tone became gentler, "You look good, and it's worth it that I have trained you for so long. Qiuxiang, behave well for your mother tonight."

Cheng Cheng looked at her without any reply, and then said, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, please go out. I'm tired."

"You have become more irritable than before, and you dare to speak to me like this. If I hadn't asked you to perform on stage tonight, I would never have tolerated your insolence!" After saying this, she looked at the other women and said, "You don't need to send food to Qiuxiang today. Let her starve and learn her lesson."

The women in the room all responded.

After she spoke, she ignored everyone and walked away with her people in a heroic and confident manner.

Chengcheng watched her lock the door and send someone to guard the door.

Now that there was no one in the room, she began to receive her original memories.

In the original owner's memory, her real name was Tang Qiulan, and the name Qiuxiang was changed by the mama-san after she arrived here. She was originally from Yanghu, Hai City.

Since birth, my original mother worked as a maid for several wealthy families, shuttling back and forth between the various masters' homes like an hourly worker, and her only responsibility was cleaning.

Her father was a barber who set up a street stall. He had a hot temper and often quarreled with people. Therefore, his salary was unstable and he could only earn a few dollars depending on his luck.

In the summer there are more barbers and there is still some profit, but in the winter I have to switch to selling newspapers.

His family doesn't have the money to rent a shop, and there are few rich people who come to the stall to patronize it. People prefer to do their hair in a store rather than here.

Most of the people who get their hair cut here are from the same poor background as them, and their father would not comply even if they made too many requests for a haircut.

I was always arguing with people on the street, and once I was called to the police station because of it.

The man shouted that her father had injured his head by shaving and demanded compensation.

The original body's father said that it was caused by his own recklessness and it was not a problem with his technical level.

There were signs of physical violence when the two were arguing on the street, and eventually the mother was called over and the matter was resolved through much persuasion.

It was said to be a peaceful resolution, but no money was made.

My father was very angry that day, and he kept talking about it at home. Because he talked about it so much, I remembered it clearly.

Just when the original body learned to walk, two younger brothers were born in the family. The eldest and the second younger brother were twins.

After the babies were born, their mother went out to work to earn money without even taking a month off. It can be said that she raised these two younger brothers by herself.

The two younger brothers later learned to walk, and the original self also reached school age.

She was prepared to not go to school, and she saw that many girls in Yanghu did not go to school. Life was so difficult that how could they have the spare money to go to school?

Surprisingly, her parents wanted to send her to school. After the twins were born, her family's expenses doubled.

By the time he learned to walk, one room was no longer enough for him.

My parents rented a suite, where the three children lived inside and my parents slept outside.

The rent for the house was different and the price was much higher. The family lived a tight life. Sometimes, the original body was asked by his father to sell newspapers together, and the twin brothers were left to the landlord to take care of.

Of course, you also need to give others some benefits to make them work hard.

But those benefits, together with the money she earned from selling newspapers, were still affordable.

Even so, the family could barely make ends meet. Under such circumstances, it was surprising that her parents sent her to school.

This is what my father said. He thinks reading is useful.

After he stopped studying, he sold newspapers and got married in Yanghu. In the end, he still lived a life of hard work and suffering.
