Chapter 178 I Have an Idea About Qing Ruo

Zhang Qingruo was actually waiting for us.

It turned out that she came up first to settle Mr. Chen’s childhood friend and waited to settle Baiyun.

I went into my room, washed my face, and brewed a pot of tea. I prepared to refine the plan for Bainiao Lake. This kind of corporate-style operation always prioritizes speed. I planned to hand the plan over to Mr. Cao before leaving.

Just after knocking on the door for a few lines, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw Zhang Qingruo. She smiled and said, "Teacher Wan, I want to visit you. I hope I won't disturb you."

"No, no. You're welcome to bother."

She sat down in the living room and I started making tea.

"Actually, I read the news about you signing a contract with the company a long time ago, but today is the first time I've seen you."

"It's normal for such a big company." I poured her a cup of tea.

"It's rumored in the company that you can tell fortunes and read feng shui. Is that true?"

I smiled and said, "A little bit."

"I'm a very curious person. Can you help me with a fortune telling?" Her cheeks flushed and her face looked pleading. Her eyes were blazing as she looked at me.

I thought to myself, of course I can, I just don’t open to the public. Besides, here, I should get familiar with everyone as soon as possible, perform magic tricks, and guess words. I don’t need to get to know others, others will naturally come to know me.

I smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll just test for a special 'special' character."

"You'd better write it."

She wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to me. I looked at the word, each stroke so strong and powerful, the last dot almost piercing the paper. I had a clear idea.

"What aspects of your personality should be tested? For example, career, love, and personality."

"Tell me all."

I was about to speak when she stood up and said, "Let's change seats. I'll make tea."

After changing seats, I changed to a large cup. She poured tea for me very skillfully, which was simply an art. The pot was hung high, and the water poured into the cup without splashing. When she raised her hand, the mouth of the pot broke, and not a drop of water hung.

"She appears to be a gentle woman, but in fact, she has a strong character. She is very meticulous in her work, but she is a man. She is decisive and open-minded, and never cares about trivial matters. Her career is going smoothly, but she will get married later in life."

She laughed and said, "Except for marriage, which I don't know about right now, everything else is correct. How can you be so accurate in predicting this word 'special'?"

I pointed to the character "特" (special) and explained that its original meaning is "an uncastrated bull." So, at work, you're impulsive and competitive, like a bullfighter. You're forthright and opinionated, and although you're a woman, you possess the manly qualities of being able to take on and let go.

The character '特' you write, in graphology, is clean and sharp. The final touch, 'strong and powerful,' signifies decisiveness and uncompromising execution. You're overly demanding of your subordinates. Behind closed doors, you might even slam the table and hit the chair. But once you're out of the house, you let things go and don't hold grudges.

"You're absolutely right. There were also people who slammed tables and chairs at me in the office, but I later realized I was wrong. Once I left, I really didn't hold a grudge. Everyone recognizes that."

Suddenly, she looked at me and asked, "How did you measure such detailed information?"

I laughed heartily, pointing at the character "特." The character "寺" on the right, broken down into an inch of land, reveals that within that inch, you're like a bull, which is why you have a bad temper behind closed doors. Outside, you're very measured in your socializing. This is your acquired cultivation.

These words took effect immediately, like a medicine. Her gaze turned to admiration.

I don't usually smoke, but when I'm alone with someone, I like to have a cigarette. So I asked, "Can I smoke?"

She was very skillful. She took a cigarette out of the box and handed it to me. Then she picked up the lighter and leaned over to light it for me.

Why do I smoke? It's to maintain my composure. I can't speak out enthusiastically. I have to wait for people to ask. If they don't ask, I smoke to avoid the awkward eye contact.

This is called squeezing toothpaste. Just squeeze it and some stuff will come out.

She smiled and asked, "What should I pay attention to with my body?"

"You like to eat pickled cabbage and bitter melon."

"Ah? How did you know that?"

"You have a bad temper, and a bad temper leads to liver fire. It's not that you are born to like eating these things, but your body needs them to balance the liver fire."

"So, I need to watch out for my liver?"

I slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke: "YES".

She burst out laughing: "I thought you were serious, but you're actually very humorous."

"Take care of your liver, specifically. Can you give me some advice?"

"For major issues, see a doctor. For minor issues, I'll give you a suggestion: get angry more."

"Get angry more often?"

"Yes, go buy a dummy and put it in the office. When you get angry, hit it hard until you are exhausted. Then your anger will be released. If someone asks you about it, tell them you practice boxing for self-defense."

She sighed, "I wish I had known you earlier."

"It's not too late now."

She hesitated to speak, and I didn't ask.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Zhang Qingruo stood up to open the door. I turned around and saw Bai Yun in his pajamas. He was also stunned at the door.

I waved, come in,

Zhang Qingruo said, "Teacher Bai, you two can talk."

Bai Yun said, "Why? You left as soon as I arrived. That's not very nice of you."

Zhang Qingruo turned back, brought a chair to Bai Yun, and said with a smile: "The two masters are competing in the Huashan Sword Competition. I will be the tea boy."

"It's mainly because you're wearing a dressing gown that people want to leave."

"Oh - Miss Zhang, don't mind me. I work in this field and my life is irregular. I stay alone in my room, usually in my pajamas."

"No, no. I was afraid you would talk to Teacher Wan, so it would be inconvenient for you if I sat aside."

Bai Yun laughed: "What's the inconvenience of being two men? We are not as good as same-sex lovers."

Zhang Qingruo didn't blush. As she poured tea, she said, "That's good. I didn't want to leave. I enjoyed listening to the conversation between the two masters and learning a little from the side."

I said, "You've found the right person. Mr. Bai is very familiar with the entertainment industry. He can not only open your eyes, but also make you feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Qingruo looked at the white clouds with a smile.

Bai Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Master Wan is right. These are all eye-catching things."

"Tell me about it, I want to hear it. You often deal with those celebrities and beauties, so you must know a lot of stories." Zhang Qingruo said coquettishly.

Bai Yun asked, "The vegetables are delicious, aren't they? They're all grown with manure water. Let's not talk about those things. Mr. Chen said that Master Wan is a strange man. I like to listen to Master Wan talk."

I know what Bai Yun said is true. You complain about your job, you constantly deal with those people, and the characters you play make you cry and love them, but in reality, there may be a pile of shit behind them.

"Tell me about it. I've never interacted with celebrities. You're staying for two months, so there's plenty of opportunity to communicate with Teacher Wan."

"She won't leave unless you say something."

Bai Yun took out a pack of cigarettes and said, "If you're not afraid of the smoke, I'll just say a few words."

"Just be patient." She picked up the lighter and lit the fire for Baiyun.

Bai Yun took a deep breath, exhaled two streams of smoke, and said:

"Which person or aspect do you want to hear about?"
