Chapter 373: A tall tree attracts the wind

Dai Qing thought Wang Ju's tone was fair. Her job was unemployable for normal people, and that was undeniable. As for breaking the law, she was naturally not interested.

"Please don't scare me, Director Wang. I don't dare to do anything that violates the law. I help people with fortune-telling and divination, and I do it just to support my family."

"Of course, if someone comes to me for help, it must be because they are in trouble. I help them sort out their problems, which can be regarded as psychological counseling. It may be a comfort to those who come to me for help. What do you think, Director Wang?"

Dai Qing's meaning is very straightforward, that is, if others trust me, they will naturally come to me. I definitely won't chase after people and tell their fortunes.

I am doing this for the sake of kindness.

Wang Ju's eyebrows jumped when she heard Dai Qing's explanation, but she really had nothing to refute.

Because literally, there is really nothing wrong with it.

Although it is not glorious to engage in feudal superstition, this is a new society and the government is also encouraging individuals to start their own businesses. As long as it does not break the law or harm others, no one will care.

But it is indeed puzzling that a young girl would engage in this kind of industry.

"I'm here today to remind you to be sensible in what you do. Although the policy has been relaxed, some old customs are still not encouraged. You also have to be considerate of your neighbors. After you buy a house in our alley, you will become a resident of the area. Neighbors should be friendly and help each other so that we can live in harmony."

"Okay, thank you Director Wang for your reminder. I will pay attention to it."

Dai Qing raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but chuckle.

"To be honest, I just moved here not long ago and I'm not familiar with the neighbors. I've never asked anyone to read my fortune in the alley. I didn't expect to scare them. I'm really brave."

Director Wang listened to her teasing tone and didn't care.

"I know everything about your situation. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to the neighborhood committee to find me."

Director Wang then took out a residents' handbook from his pocket and handed it to Dai Qing.

"This is a safety manual that our community has compiled. It covers neighborly relations, electrical safety, and joint maintenance of hutong hygiene. Take a good look at it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Okay, I'll definitely take a good look at it when I have time."

It was the first time to come into contact with the resident handbook, which was really strange. Dai Qing did not lose face to Wang Ju. She took it with a smile, sent the person to the gate, and said that she was welcome to visit at any time.

Back in the yard, Dai Qing looked at the two of them and put the manual on the small square table.

"Look, they say a big tree attracts the wind. My little sapling hasn't grown up yet, but it's already eye-catching."

People are afraid of being famous, just as pigs are afraid of being fat. She just sat in the small park for a few days and attracted people.

Jiang Li looked at her teasing tone and smiled gently, "People in our line of work have always been envied and despised since ancient times. Just get used to it."

If you have great abilities, people will be jealous of you. If you have no abilities, people will despise you and even call you a liar.

It's difficult no matter what.

"At any time, no matter what you do, there will always be different voices coming out. As long as your inner self is strong enough, the outside world will not disturb you."

Dai Qing also agreed with this.

In the afternoon, Cai Kuan and Jiang Li made an appointment with Mao Jian to meet, and when the time came, the two went out together.

Dai Qing was alone at home, with nothing to do, so she cleaned the house and did a thorough cleaning. Then she took a book and lay on the bed, slowly flipping through it until dusk, then she got up to prepare dinner.

Yunxiao Restaurant,

There was a long row of flower baskets in front of the door, colorful and splendid, and a big Chinese character "longevity" was pasted on the door. Two pretty receptionists stood at the door with smiles on their faces, ushering guests into the store.

On the road to the hotel, cars were lined up and slowly entered the parking lot under the guidance of the waiters.

Today, the Yunxiao Restaurant has been booked by the Lin family for the 70th birthday of the old man of the Lin family.

Although the Lin family cannot make it into the core circle, they are one of the most influential families in the outer circle. Whether it is politics or business, the descendants of the family are involved. Therefore, the friends who come to celebrate the birthday are also a mix of politics and business, and it is very lively.

There are several banquet halls alone, and the seats are arranged differently according to different identities. Of course, people are not here to eat, the most important thing is the cocktail party after the meal.

All those who are celebrating the birthday will be present, so it can be considered a different kind of business reception.

Many people who have other motives will also try their best to build relationships and attract some cooperation opportunities for their own companies at this time.

Besides that, it’s also a chance to get to know people you wouldn’t normally see.

In short, as long as you step in, you will have the opportunity to make friends with the rich and powerful, and if you are lucky, you can even reach some business cooperation. This is why many people are trying their best to come here.

The cocktail party was held in the lobby on the third floor, which was more beautifully decorated. There was a round dining table in the middle, and on the golden tablecloth were clusters of bright flowers, exuding fragrance.

On the outer floor, there was a row of tall glasses filled with champagne and wine of various colors. Several waiters were waiting nearby, ready to serve the guests at any time.

Inside the reception, soothing music was playing, people were talking and laughing, drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

Under the floor-to-ceiling window, Dong Zhen held a glass of wine, watching the people walking around in the venue with an appropriate smile on his face, searching for someone he needed to make friends with.

Under the French window on the fourth floor, stood a tall figure in a well-tailored crimson plaid suit. The jacket had been taken off, revealing a vest of the same color underneath.

At this moment, he shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the people appearing in the venue, and narrowed his eyes.

"It's really strange. The Dong family has a new person today... I didn't expect him to still be in the mood to attend the old man's cocktail party."

The person sitting on the sofa listened, stood up curiously, looked in the direction of his gaze, and said,

"The Dong family has an invitation, so it's normal for them to come in."

"It's normal for Dong Qi to come, but he's always been very self-important and has always been sitting behind the scenes of the Dong family. It's a bit strange to see him suddenly show up."

"What's the big deal? No matter how mysterious a person is, he or she has to come out and see the world. It's weird to hide in the background like a rat in a hole."

The man laughed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"When it comes to intelligence, Dong Zhen is a suspicious person by nature. How can he compare with you, Jingcheng? Everyone knows that you are the most outstanding descendant of the Lin family."

"Yang Tingzhi, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your ability to be afraid of farts hasn't improved at all... We grew up together, so we know each other. Don't try to be so mean to me in the future."

Lin Jingcheng glared at him, raised his glass, drank it, and turned his gaze to the meeting place.

"Fu Chunbo was the one who defeated the Dong family. I thought he would be unwilling to give up and chase after them, but I didn't expect him to be so stable and even came to celebrate Grandpa's birthday."
