Chapter 360: You Determine Your Own Destiny

Knowing that the house here would undergo drastic changes in the future, she naturally would not hold back.

This kind of ideological awareness is not something that ordinary people can have. Cai Kuan is fine, as he is a native and has a house to live in whether he buys it or not. But He Ning and Ji Hengan definitely made a profit.

All we can say is that they are lucky, as they have inadvertently added a piece of real estate to their possessions.

Dai Qing could only be happy for them.

After the two of them were busy, they sat in the corridor and drank a cup of tea, and then prepared to take a nap. But Jiang Li had just arrived today, and she hadn't prepared a bed for him yet. There was only one empty room in her house, the east wing, but there was no bed.

He Ning stood up and pointed to the room in the west wing where he lived.

"Master Jiang, please stay in my room first. I'm going to Huaishu Hutong to do some work. I have a lot of things to do today and I can't stay idle. I'll ask the workers to deliver a bunk bed in the afternoon and the problem will be solved."

"I just happened to have a bunk bed there. It would be a waste if I threw it away, so I just moved it here and used it."

Listening to He Ning's arrangement, Dai Qing did not object, but Jiang Li shook his head and refused.

"I'm going to leave after sitting here for a while. My lease expires in two days. It would be a waste if I don't live there."

"Hey, Master Jiang, why are you being so polite? Sister Dai's friend is my friend He Ning. We finally met each other halfway. How can I let you live out here alone?"

He Ning said this and ran back to his room, took out a set of pajamas and stuffed them into Jiang Li's hands.

"Master Jiang, I haven't put on my pajamas yet. Take a shower, change into them, and have a good sleep. When the bed is ready this afternoon, you can move over."

Facing He Ning's enthusiasm, Jiang Li's face trembled, and he was speechless for a moment. Looking at Dai Qing's smiling eyes, he pursed his lips in tacit agreement.

It took me a while to find my voice again.

"Your garment does not fit me, but I have a clean robe."

Looking at the pajamas that were returned, He Ning didn't care. He put them in the closet and left.

Jiang Li took out the robe that he usually changed into from his bag, carried it to the bathroom, washed himself thoroughly from head to toe, and walked out feeling refreshed.

I just happened to meet Dai Qing who was holding a cup.

"Mr. Jiang, He Ning's idea is also my idea. While you are in the capital, just stay at my house."

Jiang Li was already used to Dai Qing's hospitality and nodded. "I should be about the same age as your grandfather. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Jiang along with He Ning."

Dai Qing was stunned when she heard this title, then nodded, "Then I'll call you Master Jiang, it's more catchy."

It's just a title, she doesn't care.

Seeing the old man sitting in the yard, Dai Qing did not disturb him and went straight back to the bedroom for a nap.

It has become a habit now, I fall asleep when the time comes.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Dai Qing woke up on time. She had just washed her face to make herself completely awake when she heard someone knocking on the door. She thought it was He Ning coming back with the bunk bed. When she opened the door and saw Secretary Wan and Dong Zhen standing at the door, Dai Qing was surprised and turned sideways.

"You two, please come in."

"Master Dai, sorry to bother you."

Dong Zhen looked at Dai Qing and nodded politely.

Ever since he last met the people from Xingzhou, his attitude towards Dai Qing had changed. Whether it was his tone or his behavior, he subconsciously showed a sense of respect and fear.

He did not dare to investigate how Dai Qing and those people were connected. If their relationship was so close just based on face reading, he naturally did not believe it. But now, he could not ask about it rashly, lest he offend others.

Keeping a proper distance is the best way to get along with each other. Besides, there is also the relationship with his wife, so it won't be too awkward, and he is satisfied.

Dai Qing let the person in and poured tea for him. Secretary Wan then made an excuse to go out, saying that he had dropped something and went to get it.

The boss tells fortunes, so as a secretary, she still has to be cautious. It is not good for her to know too much.

There were only two of them left in the living room. Dong Zhen took a sip of tea and looked at Dai Qing.

"As Master said, my last attempt was unsuccessful and I lost some money... But this matter is too important to me. I wonder if Master can help me resolve it. I am willing to pay more."

Listening to Dong Zhen's tone, Dai Qing looked at his face and frowned.

"There is white air penetrating your forehead from the Yima area. Even if you don't give up and try again, you will return empty-handed... This time, things are not going your way. If you insist on going, you will have an accident along the way."

Just when he frowned, Dai Qing discovered that there was a tendency for black energy to condense in his Yima area. When the black energy penetrated his forehead, he would definitely have an accident on the road.

"Compared to life, is what you are talking about important?"

Hearing Dai Qing's question, Dong Zhen was stunned. Is it so serious?

Is your life in danger?

If compared with life, it is indeed not that important. But this matter involves whether the Dong family's status in the capital can rise to a higher level. It would be a pity to give it up so easily.

Dai Qing looked at his regretful expression and couldn't help but stare at his face. Suddenly, a banquet scene appeared in her sight. Inside the venue, people were clinking wine glasses and talking in low voices. Judging from their clothes and attire, it didn't seem like an ordinary occasion.

Dai Qing retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes to calm herself down, and looked up at Dong Zhen.

"You are a businessman, you should understand the meaning of the word 'willing to give up'. One step forward is like a cliff, one step back is like the vast sea and sky, maybe you will get unexpected gains."

Hearing Dai Qing's reminder, Dong Zhen was startled, and quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Master, please enlighten me."

Looking at the thick red envelopes on the table, Dai Qing twitched her lips slightly. This person was getting more and more direct.

"You will be suitable to go to crowded places, such as banquets, cocktail parties, etc."

That’s all I have to say. Whether he can participate depends on his own skills.

Dong Zhen was shocked when he heard the word "cocktail party". He began to review the recent events in the capital. Was there anyone hosting a banquet?

"Thank you for your reminder, Master. If I can fulfill my wish, I will definitely thank you very much."

The matter was urgent, he had to go back and inquire as soon as possible. If there was any new information, it might bring hope.

After sending the man to the gate and watching him hurriedly leave in a car, Dai Qing returned to the living room and saw Jiang Li sitting steadily.

"It's quite generous, but compared to the information you gave me, it's a drop in the bucket."

Listening to Jiang Li's tone, Dai Qing picked up the red envelope and took a look at it. It felt about ten thousand in thickness and it turned out to be well prepared.

"It's all up to your heart...King Wen of Zhou carried Jiang Taigong for 800 steps, which was also fate."

How much their lives and opportunities are worth is entirely up to them to decide, and she has no say in that.

"Although the fortune teller has a glimmer of hope with the Heaven, if the cause and effect involved are too serious, this little money will not be enough to eliminate the backlash from Heaven." This girl is so courageous, isn't she afraid of Heaven's punishment?
