Information about MLM organizations can be found easily online, and the media often reports on them. However, many people are still deceived every year, including college students who have recently graduated.
Those who become deeply involved in these organizations may find it difficult to extricate themselves, even if they try to. Some people who have been deceived may try to recruit their relatives and friends, leading them to lose their fortunes.
Others may be unable to recruit anyone and may be kicked out of the MLM organization when they are no longer useful.
No matter how hard they try to persuade these individuals to leave, they may refuse and become desperate when they realize they have lost the opportunity to make money.
Su Jing silently thought to himself, ‘My Uncle runs a small leather shoe and bag factory, so he is not considered wealthy, but he is at least financially stable. After Ye Ping graduated, he didn’t want to work with his father, but it can be difficult to find a high-paying job right after graduating from university. He also looked down on lower-paying jobs. I have to say, Ye Ping is relatively attractive, but not particularly intelligent.’
“I don’t understand how you can be such a big fool. You are going to invest more than 60,000 Yuan and hope to get back more than 10 Million Yuan in two years. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Are other people fools or do you think that you are the only smart person in this world?” Su Jing’s uncle was so angry that he almost wanted to slap his own son.
“I’ve told you so many times already but you just refuse to understand anything. This emerging industry is secretly supported by the government. We use a five-level and three-level promotion system, and even the 100 yuan RMB note has hinted about it everywhere,” Ye Ping said as he pulled out a pattern of a hundred-yuan bill to explain his plan.
“You seem to be really stuck in this pyramid scheme and you’ve even tried looking for information online, but it seems like you still believe in it. I can’t believe it. You’ve been fooled for so long and yet you still believe in this scam.” Ye Lin was so frustrated and angry that she felt like hitting something or someone in this case.
While his uncle and aunt were still arguing, Su Jing signaled for them to stop talking. Ye Ping now looks like a fool, just like many other people who have been brainwashed by pyramid schemes.
As Guang Xuan watched, he shook his head, thinking that this young man was too naive to be deceived by such a simple pyramid scheme.
However, he couldn’t help but wonder if his own fanatical devotion to Khenpo Renxingye wasn’t also a form of brainwashing in disguise. He was grateful that Su Jing was not an evil person, otherwise, he might have been taken advantage of as well.
Su Jing didn’t say much to Ye Ping, but simply brought the ancient zither inside and sat on the ground, ready to play. His Uncle, Aunt, and Ye Lin were slightly surprised when they saw this scene.
They had heard that Su Jing could calm people down by playing the Zither, but could it also help with Ye Ping’s stubbornness?
…
Su Jing could have used the Azure Beads, which could have potentially helped Ye Ping escape from this pyramid scheme. However, he is currently unable to fully control the Azura Bead and its deep influence on others.
The use of the Azura Bead can be perceived as a form of brainwashing, as it would cause Ye Ping to blindly follow Su Jing and pray to Buddha.
While further research may lead to the ability to use the Azura Bead more freely in the future, this has not yet been achieved so it is not acceptable for Su Jing to use the Azura Bead in this way, especially on his family member.
Su Jing has decided to use his zither music, specifically the song “Pure Daughter” from the Zither Emperor Universe, as a means to purify and eliminate negative emotions from the mind.
As Su Jing’s skills on the zither continue to improve, the effects of playing the song are becoming more pronounced. Su Jing believes that he is close to achieving the level of “Qin Xin,” which may be a significant milestone in his musical journey.
As Su Jing played the song, both Ye Ping and the others including Grandma, Aunt, Ye Lin, and Guang Xuan – found themselves becoming deeply engrossed and the negative emotions in their hearts gradually faded away one by one.
When the song ended, Ye Ping seemed to have become much calmer, and the rest of the group seemed less anxious as well.
Next, Su Jing performed “Origin Cultivation Meditation Song”, the first zither magic piece he had learned.
Although he was no longer a beginner at playing it, the song still had a powerful effect on the audience and even those who were only casually listening nearby like the neighbors. All of them seemed to have benefited from the experience.
After the song ended, Ye Ping was completely relaxed and calm. This made it easier for him to analyze the method used by the MLM group to pull him in, which he saw as being full of flaws.
With a clear mind, it was not difficult for him to recognize that he had been drawn into a pyramid scheme. Even a quick online search would yield a wealth of information about similar schemes, and it would be clear that he had been caught up in one.
If, after all this, he still couldn’t see that he had been scammed, there might be something wrong with his brain.
After listening to the arguments and advice of Su Jing, Ye Lin, and the others, Ye Ping eventually came to understand his mistake and was willing to walk away from the MLM group.
He felt embarrassed and ashamed, and although he was a bit reluctant to admit defeat, it was clear that he had come to realize his error.
Fortunately, he hadn’t brought much money with him when he joined the MLM group and had come to ask his uncle and aunt for financial support, and they had sensed something was off and refused to give him any.
As a result, the MLM group hadn’t been able to cheat them out of much money.
