Well, that's life, when you're on cloud nine, a bucket of cold water is suddenly poured over your head.

  Honestly, I just had a bit of a twisted mind earlier, thinking that the girl was tired and wanted to take her to a hotel to rest.

  I despise those who walk in pairs towards the hotel, what's it to me?

  Forget it, I don't even want to say how much I despise those people.

  People like me who just take their sisters to watch movies are rare, I can only wish them well that they won't discover until the next day that they're long-lost siblings.

  Thinking this way makes me feel much more at ease.

  I hailed a taxi and got in. The driver looked at me with a strange expression and asked: "Are you coming out of the cinema?"

  "Uh-huh." I nodded.

  "Alone?" The driver looked at me with disdain and asked.

  It's like this these days, even going to watch a movie alone is looked down upon.

  Don't mention how depressing it is anymore.

  I went home and opened the door. My parents were sitting in the living room watching a movie. As soon as I walked in, my dad scolded me: "What have you been up to? You're back so late."

  "I went to watch a movie with a female classmate." I said gloomily.

  "Huh? You went to watch a movie with your female classmate, what did you come back for?" My dad had an expression of discontent.

  "Alright, Xiaofeng is still young, don't spoil her." My mom glared at dad and said: "Alright, Xiaofeng hurry up and go to sleep now."

  Got it, another sleepless night.

  I got up quite early on the second day, I casually ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then took the key to the Zhongshan Buddha Image Hall and went out.

  Today is Saturday, I have to go to Zhongshan Buddha Statue Hall to take a look. Since Han Zhongshan and Li Mingyao left, I haven't been there yet.

  The Zhongshan Buddha statue gallery is actually quite large, especially with another room in the back, this room is filled with all sorts of talismans and ghost-catching things.

  Of course, most talismans are just for decoration, and the ones that really work against ghosts and monsters can't be put out for sale. They're basically all drawn on the spot.

  There is also an old computer in here, this configuration, even playing QQ Dou Dizhu will be very laggy.

  But it's still better than nothing. I moved this computer outside, then got a rattan chair to sit on, listened to music, lay down in the rattan chair, and felt quite comfortable.

  The weather is very hot, and there is no air conditioner in this house, but it's still very cool.

  As I was listening to the song, a middle-aged man in his 40s suddenly walked in from outside, wearing a suit and looking like a legendary successful person.

  I hastily switched Jay Chou's "Double-sided Stick" to the Great Compassion Mantra, then slightly closed my eyes and put on a profound look.

  Although this line doesn't care about age, it cares about temperament.

  Of course, I've seen those Dragon Tiger Mountain-born tycoons who don't have any airs about them, they can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble with the best of them. But these customers are very particular about these things.

  The higher the status of the customer, the more they value the temperament of the master they have found.

  "Excuse me, is Master Han Zhongshan in?" The middle-aged man walked in and asked me with a straight face.

  "Who are you?" I slightly opened my eyes and carelessly glanced at him, saying: "Brother Han has gone back to Mount Mao on some business, if you have something to say, please speak."

  "And who are you?" the middle-aged man asked.

  "Who are you again?" I grunted, not answering him but instead asking back.

  You can't treat these customers like those shop assistants usually do, nodding and bowing all the time. You have to act like a big shot, that's what Han Zhongshan taught me when he had nothing better to do.

  The more you show respect to them, the more they feel that you are not capable; the less you care about them, the more they will worship you like a living god.

  As expected, the middle-aged man's face changed upon hearing this, then smiled and said: "I am Chen Qiming, Chairman of Hongde Group, here to pay a visit to Mr. Han Zhongshan."

  "My senior is not here. If you have something to say, just tell me and it's settled. If you don't think I'm capable, then please leave and come back when my senior returns." I wasn't being polite to this person at all.

  Chen Qiming hastily asked: "Then when will Master Han be back?"

  "Half a year."

  "This." Chen Qiming hesitated, then smiled and asked me: "Little brother is Master Han's junior fellow apprentice, so your skills shouldn't be bad. I have something to ask little brother."

  "I said." I began.

  "I've been having a series of nightmares these past few days, I feel like I'm on a streak of bad luck. In a few days, I have to go abroad for an important business deal and can't afford to be delayed. Hope you can help me out, little brother," Chen Qiming said.

  "I said: 'Tell me your eight characters of birth.'"

  Chen Qiming said: "I was born at 6 o'clock on May 2nd, 1977."

  I furrowed my brow, took out a pen and calculated on the paper for a moment before saying: "Ding Si year, March 15th, Mao time, right?"

  "This year is Ding Hai year, belonging to Yin fire**, your birth five elements are three fires, three earths, two woods."

  "Originally, water and fire are incompatible, your wood gives birth to fire, earth destroys fire, but earth gives birth to wood. In the first half of your life, it's definitely going to be smooth sailing, although there may be some small setbacks, but no major problems. However, this year you have a big setback, once you get through this, the second half of your life will definitely be earth giving birth to wood, wood giving birth to fire, and you'll live a worry-free life. Your business will also rise to great heights."

  The eight characters of birth are actually not difficult, as long as you memorize the heavenly stems and earthly branches, you can calculate them, and then use this to deceive people.

  As for what water and fire clash, this actually has a lot of nuances and is not as simple as I said.

  Moreover, Chen Qiming's forehead is shining brightly, and his luck should actually be quite good. Perhaps it's just his own psychological effect that made him come to me. This kind of person is the easiest to deceive.

  Chen Qiming saw that I had spoken a lot of professional terms, and his face became even more respectful: "Master, how did you know that my first half of life was smooth sailing, and only some small things happened? Please tell me what I need to do this year to break the curse."

  This is actually a trick often used by scammers. Although I said that his first half of life was flat, with some small tribulations, this is actually a very vague description.

  No matter what happens, as long as it's not a life-or-death situation, it's nothing.

  So this is actually taking advantage of his psychological effect, making him feel that I am accurate in my calculations.

  What I said earlier applies to most people.

  "Alas, to be honest with you, I'm just here to help my senior brother take a look at the store. Helping someone resolve their bad luck is an act against heaven's will. This calamity was originally yours to bear, let me resolve it for you, and I'll inevitably be affected somewhat."

  "Master, I understand. How much money do you need?" Chen Qiming asked respectfully, not underestimating me because of my age, perhaps due to what I said earlier.

  I slammed my hand on the table and stood up: "Who do you think I am? I'm a disciple of Mao Mountain, do I need something as mundane as money?"
