The Taoist priest sitting in the car offered words of comfort: "If it's inconvenient for the young master right now, then I'll visit again tomorrow."
Qi Lian'an chimed in, "That's right, it's too late today. Even if the master wants to perform the ritual, he needs an auspicious time."
Although Xu Zhongkai said he wanted to abolish the succession system, the bond between father and son was stronger than blood.
No sooner had they announced they would issue a public notice than they consulted Master Qinglian to determine which of the remaining children was truly capable.
However, the calculation by Master Qinglian revealed a problem.
It turns out that the branch office has been having frequent problems lately not because Xu Shanglou is indulging in beautiful women and neglecting his work, nor because Ruan Mingying has affected his luck.
Instead, someone secretly used evil magic to steal his luck!
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhongkai could no longer remain seated.
The eldest son has a woman with heavy karma by his side, which makes his luck easily affected; now he has been cursed, which could lead to bloodshed or even death.
For his son's sake, Xu Zhongkai set aside his status and brought the master over overnight, only to be turned away instead.
Qi Lian'an made several calls, but they were all hung up on, and then the other end of the line turned off!
Xu Zhongkai had always been the one to hang up on his eldest son; this was the first time in his life he had ever been hung up on!
Xu Zhongkai raised his hand and pressed his temples: "You good-for-nothing, you'll never amount to anything in this life, yet you keep defying me for a woman!"
When anger gets the better of him, Xu Zhongkai inevitably starts to involve others.
He glanced out the car window a few times and sneered, "What kind of behavior is this, a young girl out fooling around so late at night!"

After washing up in the evening, Mingzhuo chatted with He Wangyao and heard that Gu Xu hadn't eaten dinner when he got home, so he decided to send some soup over.
I don't know where my brother-in-law found the chef, but his cooking skills are top-notch, and the soup he makes is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off.
Several times when she saw Gu Xu's long, slender fingers, she couldn't help but want to urge him to eat more.
Perhaps it was because the other person's aura was too aloof and otherworldly that she had this misconception.
By the time they arrived at Luowu Residence, Gu Xu had just finished washing up.
He changed into a set of home clothes, but still buttoned the top button meticulously.
Her eyes and brows were moist, making her less cold and more gentle.
But it's still as beautiful as ever!
He Wangyao: "Axu, come and drink the soup!"
At the housekeeper's suggestion, Mingzhuo specially brought two servings of soup. He Wangyao couldn't wait to start eating as soon as she smelled the aroma.
Gu Xu was somewhat surprised, but she still walked over and sat down, looking at Ming Zhuo: "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, I often trouble you too." Mingzhuo thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to remind the other party about the Fortune-Changing Immortal.
After all, this guy also owns a company. The ringleader behind the trouble hasn't been caught yet. Who knows if someone will take advantage of Gu Xu's ability to make money and try to harm him?
We always need to take precautions, lest we get harmed without even realizing it.
Gu Xu nodded slightly: "Thank you for reminding me. I never knew there were such methods in the business world."
"Sigh, low-level business battles are often the most straightforward and unpretentious." He Wangyao, who is always surfing the 5G wave, feels that she has a lot to say about this. "The most low-level tactic is to secretly kill the money tree of the opponent's company. That's a curse!"
Gu Xu glanced at him.
He Wangyao: "So, Ah Xu, don't you think this method is despicable?"
Gu Xu: "It's not that I'm being despicable, it's just that I never put a money tree in my office."
He Wangyao: "..."
Mingzhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mr. Gu was a staunch materialist, and he adhered to his principles very firmly. It was perfectly normal for him not to display a money tree in his office.
Gu Xu has a habit of not speaking while eating or sleeping. Even when he drinks soup, he has a sense of ritual like dining at a Michelin three-star restaurant. He doesn't give people the feeling of being pretentious. Instead, people can feel the culture and elegance that are engraved in his bones.
Mingzhuo watched a delightful mukbang video, and after Gu Xu finished eating, she smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, if you were to become a mukbang streamer, I would definitely be the number one fan."
He Wangyao hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure?"
Ah Xu eats very elegantly, but mukbang is about eating with relish and making your food look appetizing, not about making you look ascetic!
That's not the market trend. Aren't all those popular mukbang streamers big eaters?
Mingzhuo smiled and said, "I'm sure, I could watch it a hundred times and never get tired of it."
He Wangyao: "You don't need to flatter me. Ah Xu always likes to speak the truth..."
“I’m just telling the truth.” Mingzhuo was taken aback.
He Wangyao was completely speechless.
Gu Xu glanced at him. "Do you have a problem with me?"
He Wangyao shuddered. "No, no, no, Ah Xu, you've misunderstood. I have no problem with you!"
He keenly sensed that if he didn't answer this question well, he might have to sleep on the streets tonight.
"...Although you're not the kind of mukbang streamer that the general public likes, you're clearly the kind of mukbang streamer that the boss likes! Being liked by the boss is better than being liked by millions of people!"
Gu Xu closed his eyes briefly: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
He got up and took the thermos to wash it.
He Wangyao also felt that what she said in her haste was a jumbled mess, but the crisis was inexplicably resolved.
He dared not let Gu Xu wash the dishes, and hurriedly ran over, saying, "I'll wash them, I'll wash them."
After cleaning both insulated containers, Gu Xu glanced at the time and realized it was already past ten o'clock.
"Let me take you home. It's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night." Gu Xu stood up.
Mingzhuo: "No need, no need, it's just a few steps, what could possibly happen? I'm not an ordinary girl."
