Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment, then asked a question.
"Master, if I tell you, can you answer one question for me?"
Old Master Xie stroked his beard; "You want to ask about your sister, right?"
Chen Zhe nodded; he was extremely shocked to have just learned this news.
He had always considered himself an only child, so how could he not be surprised when his mother told him that he had an older sister?
"He's still alive! But I can't tell you exactly where he is right now!"
"Why?"
"You have to tell me her birth date and time, right? Do you really think I'm a god?"
"Well... okay, I'll ask my mom for it another day."
"Okay, I agree. Can you tell me now?"
Chen Zhe took a deep breath and recounted everything that had happened to him after breaking up with Xu Weiwei.
When Xie Laodao heard this, his eyebrows twitched.
"No wonder..."
"Taoist Master, no wonder what happened?"
Chen Zhe was somewhat confused.
"According to your birth date and time, you will not be successful until you are at least 30 years old. However, fate is not immutable. Some fates are predetermined, while others are changed by oneself. You belong to the second type. When I first met you, it was not so obvious. But when I met you again today, I found that your whole demeanor was completely different. In the words of you young people, you have become more confident and more composed."
"Oh...Is that so? Then is what I did a good job?"
"It's hard to calculate even if you can!"
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to achieve success early? Don't people value early fame?"
Master Xie smiled and said, “That’s true. Although I just said that a person’s fate can be changed, there are many variables in a person’s life. To put it simply, a person’s wealth in his life is like a credit card. You are now overdrawing your future money and borrowing luck from the future.”
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Many people who achieve fame at a young age, although they attain wealth and status, often find their later years difficult. Some become wise too early, and after achieving success, they become confused about life, thus falling into a vicious cycle, trapped in their own brilliant achievements and unable to escape. Life is like a roller coaster, with one wave after another, one bend after another. It is impossible for it to be all smooth. If you forcefully straighten the road ahead, then the road behind will inevitably be more tortuous. As the saying goes, a gentleman carries the world with great virtue. If you do not have enough virtue in the beginning, you cannot support your future achievements."
Chen Zhe listened in a daze, only half understanding.
"Alright, let's stop here for today. Aren't you going to the supermarket with Xiaoyu? Go ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe's eyes lit up. Did Xie Laodao mean he was agreeing to let him pursue Xie Yuhan?
"Okay! Thank you, Taoist Master!"
Chen Zhe left happily.
Old Master Xie watched his retreating figure and fell silent.
...
After getting into the car, Xie Yuhan asked about their conversation.
Chen Zhe didn't hide anything from her and recounted the conversation they had just had.
"Huh? You have an older sister? If she's still alive, why doesn't she live with you?"
Chen Zhe thought for a moment and seemed to have a general understanding.
My sister doesn't live with them, probably because of him.
"I don't know either, I'll have to ask my mom."
"Okay, okay, let's not think about this for now. Let's go check out your supermarket, I'm really curious!"
"Uh-huh!"
...
Before the car even reached the supermarket, we could hear lively music playing from afar, as if they were having a promotion. The closer the car got, the louder the music became.
After parking the car, Chen Zhe said with a smile, "This is an event that my brother Wang planned. It's called Weekend Carnival Day. Isn't it lively?"
Xie Yuhan's lips twitched slightly. Just then, a gust of wind blew some sand and dirt from the roadside.
Chen Zhe squinted and said, "The weather forecast said it would be windy, a light breeze, but why does it feel so windy here?"
Xie Yuhan turned her head and saw two office buildings rising up directly opposite the supermarket, with the gap between them pointing directly at the supermarket. The wind was howling, and people who had just parked their cars quickly ran away.
"Xiaoyu, let's go too. It's a bit windy here. Let's go into the supermarket!"
Xie Yuhan nodded, and after entering the supermarket, the noise level increased even further, with the music becoming deafening.
Even Chen Zhe frowned; "Why does it feel a bit noisy?"
As soon as he entered the supermarket, Chen Zhe pointed to his large signboard and said...
"This is what I set up, what do you think?"
Xie Yuhan nodded slightly but did not speak.
Chen Zhe was somewhat puzzled; [Why does Xiaoyu seem a bit down? Is she not satisfied with the scale of my project? No, I have to shock her today!]
They hadn't been inside long when a mountain of shelves blocked their way.
Chen Zhe almost knocked over because he wasn't paying attention.
A waiter saw this and quickly came over and said, "Mr. Chen, you've arrived!"
Chen Zhe pointed to the pile of shelves in front of him; "Why are these things placed here? I didn't design it this way before!"
"Oh, that's how it is. Mr. Wang told us to put them here. He said that displaying these highly rated products here would attract customers."
Chen Zhe didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded.
"Never mind, you can go first."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
"Xiaoyu, it seems like a lot of the goods on the first floor have been switched. Let's go to the second floor; it's more spacious there!"
Xie Yuhan nodded, and then followed Chen Zhe upstairs to the second floor.
Upon arriving on the second floor, I discovered that all the food stall signs had been changed to red, and looking at them suddenly gave me a sense of excitement.
Just then, they heard arguing coming from ahead.
When Chen Zhe and Xie Yuhan went over, they saw that two tables of customers had gotten into a fight because of a verbal argument. The fight was getting really heated, and the waiters rushed over to try to break it up, but the other party ignored them and continued to do as they pleased.
All the customers who wanted to come and eat were scared away.
Finally, security guards arrived and stopped them.
Chen Zhe's face was somewhat dark. He didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable as soon as he arrived here today, especially when he went up to the second floor, he felt a strange heat.
He called over several waiters and gave them a good scolding; the waiters seemed a bit resentful.
Two of them couldn't stand the slow pace and started arguing with Chen Zhe.
"With such high standards, do you run a supermarket or a high-end restaurant? I'm not putting up with this!"
The waiter threw off his hat and stormed out.
Another person also wanted to resign. Chen Zhe was about to say something when Xie Yuhan stopped him.
"Chen Zhe, let's leave first. Someone has tampered with your place."
