Ma'am, You Wouldn't Want Your Daughter's Magic Trick to Fail, Would You?

Su Tianmou was drinking and shuffling cards at the Qingjiu Bar.

Just then, the music reached these lines from an adapted version of "Song of the Pipa": "The thick strings boom like sudden rain; the thin strings whisper like a secret. The booming and whispering strings intermingle, like pearls of every size tumbling onto a jade plate."

Jiang Yingshu sat down in front of Su Tianmou, the magician.

Jiang Yingshu: Hello, are you Mr. Su Tianmou?

Su Tianmou: Yes. What can I do for you?

Jiang Yingshu: My daughter wants to learn magic. I hope you'll teach her.

Su Tianmou: I understand what you're asking. But first, how much would I earn per month? How many days would I have to work? Would accommodation and breakfast, lunch, and dinner be provided?

Jiang Yingshu: The monthly base salary is 100,000! It goes up depending on how well my daughter learns magic, with a maximum of one million. You'll work at least two days a week. Accommodation and all meals are provided. There are also a few additional conditions.

Su Tianmou: Let's go right now!!!
