Chapter 201 It’s Not My Fault
Li Ye, Hao Jian and Jin Peng were waiting in the living room outside and were bored. They were looking at a statue of Guanyin.
I have to say that Master Huang should be very famous in Hong Kong Island. His detached villa is decorated magnificently and the furnishings in the house are not ordinary items.
Just when Li Ye was about to use the half-baked skills he learned from Lao Song to confirm whether this Guanyin statue was authentic, Master Huang's assistant came down from upstairs.
"Gentlemen, please go up! Master Huang is in a good mood today and is willing to tell your fortunes."
"Really? That's great."
Hao Jian stood up suddenly with some surprise, and then he saw Li Ye sitting on the sofa without moving.
"Brother Ono, would you like to go with us?"
Li Ye shook his head and waved his hand, telling Hao Jian and Jin Peng to go by themselves.
Seeing that Li Ye was not interested, Hao Jian and Jin Peng could not force him, after all, he was a member of the group!
The assistant looked at Li Ye and explained in Cantonese: "Sir, Master Huang rarely reads people's fortunes on short notice. Mr. Pei has made an appointment for half a year, so this opportunity is very rare."
"No, thank you!"
Li Ye waved his hand to refuse again, and the assistant glanced at Li Ye coldly, then took Jin Peng and Hao Jian upstairs.
After the two of them went in, Pei Wencong was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Then when Master Huang was reading the fortunes of the two people, he went through the same process as when he was reading the fortunes of Pei Wencong.
With a frown on his face, he continued to tell fortunes and look through the divination and physiognomy books handed down from his ancestors.
After a long while, Master Huang suddenly said to Pei Wencong unhappily: "Mr. Pei, these two are not the people you said. Don't you know the inside story? Or are you deliberately hiding something?"
Pei Wencong was extremely surprised, but he still smiled and asked, "Master, why do you say that?"
Master Huang threw the divination book away and said coldly: "Although the fates of these two gentlemen are different from yours, their fates are the same. You both have the same noble person."
Pei Wencong looked at Master Huang in surprise, and his mood, which had just calmed down, was stirred up again.
Master Huang just told Pei Wencong that his fortune was very strange and that there was a noble person in the north who could give him forty years of good fortune.
This is fucking outrageous. I've never met such a fortune teller, let alone heard of one.
Then Pei Wencong said that the "noble person" in the north was outside.
Master Huang originally wanted to go down to greet the guests in person, but he restrained himself in the end. He was actually a little confused as to whether there was an unusual phenomenon in the sky today that interfered with his physiognomy calculations.
But now Jin Peng and Hao Jian came up, and although he didn't say anything, Master Huang figured out that these two were not "noble people".
"Mr. Pei, although your fortune is booming, you must remember to be honest and sincere to others. Otherwise, it is difficult to predict the future and your fortune may be cut short."
Master Huang's tone was already a little bad. People in their line of work hated being deceived by others. Even if Pei Wencong was now very lucky, he was not afraid. After all, he was also a famous fortune teller in Hong Kong Island and had many connections with upper-class people.
Pei Wencong quickly said, "No, Master. There are three people coming from the north this time. One of them is too young, so I am not sure."
"What does luck have to do with youth?"
Master Huang stood up and walked downstairs, and everyone hurried to follow him.
The assistant who was guarding the stairs was also very surprised to see Master Huang suddenly come downstairs, because except for those wealthy clients, Master Huang had not come downstairs to greet guests in person for a long time, especially guests coming from the north.
When everyone went downstairs, they just happened to see Li Ye standing in front of the Guanyin statue, looking left and right.
Pei Wencong was about to call Li Ye, but he saw Master Huang, who had been so cold just now, walking over with a smile on his face.
"My friend, do you like this Guanyin statue?"
Master Huang speaks Mandarin.
Li Ye turned around and said with a smile: "Oh, I just took a look, it looks good."
Master Huang immediately said, "Then I'll give it to my friend. I've put it here for a long time, waiting for a destined person. Today I finally got the chance."
Master Assistant: “.”
Pei Wencong: “.”
The reason why the master's assistant was confused was that he knew that this Guanyin statue was only put up last month, so it was definitely not "very long" there.
Pei Wencong was confused because he complained in his heart: "Wonima, are you here to read his fortune or to steal my luck?
You worked so hard just now, were you calculating my fortune or yours?
Everyone's fortune is limited. If you stick to others more, won't others stick to you less?
But before Pei Wencong could come up with a solution, Master Huang started chatting with Li Ye.
As they chatted, Master Huang offered to tell Li Ye's fortune.
Li Ye had no objection, but when Master Huang asked for his birth date and time, he said he didn't know, as the person who came from his family had not told him the exact time.
Since the time of birth is missing, there is no need to report the horoscope!
Li Ye was still cautious about this point. He had read too many supernatural novels in his previous life, some of which were quite weird.
Master Huang didn't say anything and asked Li Ye to shake the divination sticks.
Li Ye shook the coin six times at random and asked Master Huang to write down the results in order.
Then Master Huang began to calculate.
It was fine at the beginning, but as he counted, Master Huang began to sweat.
He first stared at Li Ye's face, then lowered his head to calculate, and then looked up at Li Ye again, and repeated this over and over again. Finally, he calmed down, but his fingers were still calculating quickly.
Looking at the speed of his hands, Li Ye began to wonder if he had the ability to stay single for forty years.
No one dared to speak, as they all knew that Master Huang had encountered a top-grade hexagram.
But as his face became redder and redder, a little abnormal, Li Ye couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is he going to perform a ritual on the spot? Is he asking for help from a god or is he possessed by a ghost?"
As soon as Li Ye had this thought, Master Huang in front of him suddenly tilted his eyes and fell to the ground.
“.”
Everyone was stunned for several seconds before the master's assistant let out a cry.
"Call an ambulance, the master is having a heart attack~~"
There was a sudden flurry of activity in the living room. The female assistant was feeding medicine and water, while Pei Wencong was sweating profusely as he called an ambulance.
Jin Peng was also helping, but he was using his mouth.
"I'm telling you, this doesn't look like a heart attack. I think it's a tornado."
"Diaoxuanfeng" means "stroke" in Qingshui dialect, which means that there is a problem in the brain.
But Hao Jian stared at Li Ye steadily, his knees felt weak as if he was about to kneel down and hug Li Ye's thighs.
Many people in Qingshui County said that Li Ye was inspired by Old Huai in his dreams, and some said that Li Ye was the star of literature who had descended to earth. He must be a god!
Li Ye looked at Master Huang, who was foaming at the mouth, and then looked at the statue of Guanyin, feeling quite regretful.
That statue of Guanyin is really nice. The master promised to give it to him. How can he bring it up now?
. . . . . . .
The ambulance arrived quickly, and Pei Wencong took out a stack of bills from his wallet and handed it to Amin. It looked like there were tens of thousands of dollars.
"Amin, you take Mr. Li to tour Central. He can go see Monopoly and other places. I'll take Master Huang to the hospital."
Amin took the money and whispered, "Boss, the expenses of going to the Rich Man are not included, but it's not appropriate for their people to go to the Rich Man, right?"
Pei Wencong waved his hand and said, "Whether they are willing to come in is one thing, and whether we invite them is another. We must treat people with sincerity."
Amin glanced at his boss, trying to find the familiar "painful look" in his eyes, but he only saw full of generosity and excitement.
[You, the stingy boss, finally got it. If you are not willing to spend the money you earn, then what is the point of being a boss? ]
However, Pei Wencong followed Master Huang's assistant to send Master Huang to the hospital, and then he slipped away after staying for a while.
Pei Wencong went out and hailed a taxi. He threw a hundred-dollar bill over the driver, which made him fly away. He then drove all the way to Luo Runbo's Jinbo Financial Consulting Company.
As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Ah Bo, I want to fry Hang Seng Points too, just with Mr. Li."
Luo Runbo looked at Pei Wencong who was out of breath, and while pouring him tea, he said, "Cong, it's been almost ten years, why are you still so impulsive? If you hadn't resigned impulsively back then, you would have become rich a long time ago!"
"Are you talking about me? Aren't you the same?" Pei Wencong said mockingly, "If you were willing to be a dog back then, would you be worse than Liang Jiasheng now?"
“.”
“Hahahahaha~”
The two looked at each other and laughed. After laughing for a long time, Pei Wencong said seriously: "My impulse back then seems to be extremely correct now, and my impulse today is also correct."
"Okay, I'll take your order, but we are brothers and business is business. I'll give you a 30% discount on the commission. You know the risks of trading Hang Seng points, so don't get liquidated."
"Oh, what a crow's mouth! He keeps talking so much and doesn't know how to say anything nice."
"Every industry has its own rules! I must explain them to you clearly~"
Luo Runbo stopped talking nonsense, took out the contract and asked Pei Wencong to fill it out himself.
When filling in the amount of entrusted funds, Pei Wencong filled in 490,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Luo Runbo frowned and muttered, "Whose witch did you listen to? You even filled in the number of 77. Wouldn't it be better to just give 500,000?"
But Pei Wencong said: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. We should always be respectful to some people and some things."
Li Ye had only invested 500,000 yuan, and Pei Wencong felt that it would be better for him to invest less.
He had originally planned to use the money to buy a new Mercedes-Benz, but now it seems that he might be able to buy a Rolls-Royce and a luxury house in Mid-Levels.
. . . . . . .
The next morning, Jin Peng and Hao Jian got up early again. After having breakfast, they sat there obediently, waiting for Pei Wencong to pick them up.
But five minutes later than the scheduled time, Pei Wencong had not arrived yet, so the two of them stood in front of the window, craning their necks to look outside.
Li Ye, who was standing behind him, put down the magazine in his hand and said calmly, "Why, can't you wait? The Rich Man doesn't open for business in the morning."
“.”
"No, no, we don't want to go to Rich Man again. Hehe."
"That's right, we've seen it yesterday, so you don't need to go again today. You're thinking the wrong way, Brother Ono."
“Heh~”
Li Ye smiled disdainfully and said, "We can observe and study the decadence and extravagance of capitalism, but we must never indulge in it. Do you understand?"
“I understand, I understand, I understand~”
The two of them nodded repeatedly, as well-behaved as primary school students.
Yesterday, Amin took them to the Rich Man and made them feel very confused.
That scene, the extravagance and corruption of capitalism, opened their eyes.
At the beginning, the two of them didn't dare to go in because Li Zhongfa had sternly warned Jin Peng.
But Li Ye didn't care and wanted to go in to see one of Hong Kong Island's important cultural symbols of the era, so the two of them cheered up and followed him in enthusiastically.
Then who is Director Li?
Do you expect a street bro and a middleman who engages in speculation to have the strong will of Li Zhongfa?
Seeing that Li Ye had no intention of stopping the attack, he had long forgotten the stern teaching.
Your sister pulls you to sing and dance with her. How could you two kids have ever experienced such a feeling?
After holding the dancer's hand and dancing two circles, all his inferiority and reserve disappeared.
Here, money is king.
If it weren't for Li Ye, that Liu Xiahui, who was in the way, the two guys who were seeing the sugar-coated bullet for the first time might have had the chance to eat some foreign food yesterday.
"I'm going out for a cigarette."
"I'll go too, I'll go too."
The two waited until after nine o'clock, and seeing that Pei Wencong had not arrived yet, they went out to smoke together.
"Hey, Lao Hao, do you think we should go to a different place to observe and learn today?"
"It's hard to say, and it all depends on Brother Ono's mood. We are just bodyguards."
"You're right, it was Ono who led us there."
After indulgence comes regret. After thinking it over, the two guys still think that the responsibility should be put on Li Ye.
Anyway, he is tall and can do it.
At half past nine in the morning, Pei Wencong finally arrived.
But today he did not mention where to go for sightseeing, but instead met with Li Ye alone.
After closing the door, Pei Wencong directly took out a contract.
"Mr. Li, I've thought about it and the profit distribution plan you proposed the day before yesterday is reasonable, but my publishing house has other businesses, and the profit distribution among them is difficult to calculate.
So I suggest that we two work together to set up a company to specialize in the operation of A Song of Ice and Fire, and if there are any other cooperative businesses in the future, they will all be operated under the name of this company."
"Oh, do you have any questions about the 70%-30% distribution of shares?"
"No problem," Pei Wencong said with a smile, "You are the boss of this new company, and I am a shareholder."
Li Ye was a little surprised. He had originally wanted to set up a company in Hong Kong Island. Before he had the chance to tell Pei Wencong, the other party had already arranged everything for him.
Moreover, his lowest bottom line is actually 40% to 60%. After all, judging from the current situation, matters in Hong Kong Island basically have to be entrusted to Pei Wencong. How can he work hard without some benefits?
As a result, Pei Wencong suddenly surrendered, as if Xi Baibai had come to him obediently.
What is the reason?
Li Ye thought for a moment and suddenly asked Pei Wencong, "Mr. Pei, what was the result of Master Huang's fortune telling for you yesterday?"
“.”
Pei Wencong was stunned for a moment and said, "I can't tell you this. If I tell you, it won't work. Haha."
Li Ye observed Pei Wencong carefully, and his burning eyes forced him on the face, making Pei Wencong smile awkwardly and turn his face away.
Li Ye saw uneasiness and even a little fear on Pei Wencong's face, but more of it was anticipation.
"Is Master Huang doing okay?"
Pei Wencong finally twisted his mouth and shook his head slowly, not daring to say a word.
"Okay, let's find a law firm and sign this contract."
"Okay, I have a few lawyers I'm familiar with, Luo Runbo is also OK, Mr. Li can choose for himself."
Pei Wencong let out a breath and left the hotel with Li Ye.
When passing by the newsstand on the corner, Li Ye accidentally glanced and saw the news about Master Huang in a newspaper.
"Oh, sorry! This is not my fault."
