Everything changed because of Shen Xingang's transformation.
After the two continued their battle of luck for some time, Wei Ming's funds gradually became insufficient. He never expected that Hu Ling would go to such lengths for the sake of this supermarket.
Just when he was in despair, Cai Jing said, "President Wei, you have a benefactor in your life. That person is far away, but right in front of you."
"Are you talking about yourself?"
"It's not me, but your brother-in-law, Shen Xingang!"
"Forget it, you probably don't know my brother-in-law. He's a complete miser, he's incredibly stingy. How could he possibly help me?"
"Don't worry about that, Mr. Wei. With me here, I can get him to help you!"
Cai Jing set up a feng shui arrangement, and his words came true. Shen Xingang, contrary to his usual behavior, came to help Wei Ming.
...
"Master Cai, do you have a way? I'm really curious, how did you get my brother-in-law to help me?"
In the past, it was harder than climbing to heaven to ask my brother-in-law to lend me money.
If it weren't for his sister's help, he wouldn't have been able to become a vice president.
However, his position as vice president was merely nominal, and he did not wield much real power.
This shows just how wary Shen Xingang was of him.
Cai Jing smiled.
"Mr. Wei, do you still remember the things I asked you to put in the company?"
"I remember it was just a potted peach blossom plant, wasn't it?"
"That's right, it was this potted peach tree that made the difference."
"Wait a minute, Master Cai, I remember you told President Wei that he shouldn't be getting close to women lately, so why are you still displaying peach blossoms for him?"
Tian Dongqiang asked.
"Yes, Master Cai, when you asked me to arrange it, I was puzzled. Isn't this contradictory?"
"This is not contradictory. The base of that potted plant is a lucky charm. You've been experiencing a period of bad luck related to romance lately, and the negative energy will only intensify..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ming interrupted him: "Master Cai, you're right. I was almost scalded to death by a woman a while ago, which nearly ruined my happiness for the rest of my life."
The thought of Xu Weiwei made Wei Ming so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
"I really don't understand what this has to do with anything? Isn't malevolent energy bad for people?"
“It is indeed bad for people, so I helped you transfer it to your brother-in-law. I calculated that the person affected by that position is not you, but your brother-in-law Shen Xingang.”
"Huh??? Why is that?"
Wei Ming was somewhat surprised.
“Looking at your face, your sibling palace is very strong, which means you will receive support from your older or younger sister in your career. So I have helped you strengthen your fortune by transferring the peach blossom evil to Shen Xingang, so that he will have disputes because of women. In this way, your sister will have enough say and she will naturally be able to help you.”
"Huh? Really? Wait a minute, let me make a call and ask!"
Wei Ming immediately called his sister.
"Sis, has your husband been seeing other women lately?"
The other party was silent for a moment.
His tone was somewhat unfriendly: "Why are you asking this?"
"Sis, I just want to know, since he suddenly helped me this time, you must have something on him that you can't tell me. Why don't you tell me?"
The other person hesitated for a moment; "What's there to say? Is this something to be proud of? Ah Ming, now that you know about this, don't tell anyone outside, understand?"
"Okay, I got it, sis."
Wei Ming was quite surprised after hanging up the phone.
"Master Cai, you are truly amazing! Just as you predicted, my brother-in-law was able to help me entirely because of my sister. No wonder he was so agreeable this time, so that's how it is!"
"President Wei, although the Peach Blossom Curse has been transferred to President Chen, it's only a temporary measure. This Peach Blossom Curse will eventually fall on you again, so you must be careful..."
"Okay, Master Cai, don't worry, I will stay away from women during this period!"
Knowing that Cai Jing was truly capable, Wei Ming respected him even more and naturally listened to him.
"That's good."
...
At 10 p.m., Chen Zhe, who was waiting for his turn, received a notification from Xu Xiaomei.
"Chen Zhe, a customer has requested your services."
Chen Zhe picked up his toolbox and followed Xu Xiaomei out.
He was somewhat surprised when he arrived at room 06.
These twins haven't been here in a long time. What brings them here today?
I knocked on the door and then went inside.
"Hello, sir/madam, I'm technician number 09. It's my pleasure to serve you..."
Chen Zhe thought he would meet either Zhang Xinrui or Zhang Xinai, but to his surprise, it was neither. Instead, he met a guest he had never seen before.
The woman was in her forties, wearing a champagne-colored satin top and a black pencil skirt. She had fair skin, a voluptuous figure, wavy hair, and bright red lips, making her very feminine.
Her facial features are highly defined, making her a beauty at first glance, but Chen Zhe always felt that her appearance was somewhat familiar.
But I don't think I've ever seen this person before; they just seem vaguely familiar.
Seeing Chen Zhe enter, the woman crossed her left leg over her right, leaned back on the sofa, and began to sized him up.
Chen Zhe felt that his gaze was somewhat like that of someone scrutinizing a criminal.
He swallowed hard. "Sir, are you satisfied? If not, I can help you change it..."
The woman chuckled, then picked up a cigarette from the side and lit it.
"You're Chen Zhe?"
Chen Zhe was taken aback. How did she know his name? Had he really met this woman before?
That doesn't seem right; he was quite certain that this person wasn't among the clients he had served before.
"Yes, it's me. How do you know me, guest?"
The woman stood up, crossed her arms, a cigarette between her fingers, and walked around Chen Zhe.
She paused when she reached behind Chen Zhe, and then walked back.
"How old are you?"
"I...I'm 25 years old..."
"Young man, huh? No wonder Hu Ling kept you here. Are you her lover or some other client's lover?"
The woman asked.
"Sir, you've misunderstood. Sister Hu is just my supervisor, and the other guests and I just have normal relationships."
"Hehe, not necessarily, right? Let's not talk about Hu Ling for now, but just talk about Luo Guifang and that woman Chen Si. The fact that they're willing to invest so much money in the supermarket under your name isn't necessarily entirely Hu Ling's idea, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe was taken aback, his eyes filled with doubt. How could this woman know so much?
"Chen Si and Hu Ling don't get along, and Luo Guifang's relationship with Hu Ling is also just so-so. I've always been curious about why they were willing to invest so much money in that supermarket. But after seeing you today, I suddenly realized that the reason might lie with you."
"I don't understand what the guest means..."
Chen Zhe lowered his head, his mind racing. Who was this woman in front of him? How did she know so much?
Luo Guifang and Chen Si both cooperated with the supermarket through their own companies, so outsiders wouldn't know that.
Are you curious about who I am?
The woman saw right through Chen Zhe's thoughts.
"I dare not be curious about my guests' privacy..."
Although Chen Zhe had many doubts, there were rules here, namely that guests' privacy could not be inquired about (openly).
"Hehe, Hu Ling is a pretty good teacher. She has a good image and a good attitude. She's a promising talent."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir..."
The woman changed the subject: "But don't get too excited yet. I came here today to see you and, by the way, to remind you that you should close that supermarket down completely!"
Chen Zhe frowned slightly.
However, he did not express his emotions in much detail.
"Guest, can you tell me why this is?"
"It's very simple, my surname is Wei! I'm Wei Ming's older sister, Wei Meng!"
Chen Zhe finally understood what that sense of familiarity was. No wonder he felt that this woman looked familiar; it turned out that she resembled Wei Ming.
So this woman came here today to warn him?
"I will consider Sister Meng's suggestion."
Chen Zhe nodded.
Thinking the other party had given in, Wei Meng chuckled lightly; "That's good, alright, then you can leave now and bring me another one!"
"yes!"
Chen Zhe left and returned to the waiting area.
A few minutes later, Mei Xiaoting came over to call him.
"Sister Hu wants to see you!"
Chen Zhe followed Mei Xiaoting outside.
When he arrived at Hu Ling's office, Hu Ling was already waiting for him there.
"Please sit down!"
Contrary to expectations, Hu Ling actually asked him to sit down today, which was a bit strange.
"You've met Wei Meng, haven't you?"
Hu Ling asked.
"Yes, I just saw him."
"Heh, what did this woman say?"
"She wants me to shut down the supermarket completely."
"I can guess that Wei Meng is a 'brother-supporting demon' who would do anything for her good-for-nothing brother."
"What is Sister Hu thinking?"
"What I think isn't important, since we've already lost this time. What's important is what you think? Are you planning to listen to her?"
"If I don't want to listen to her, is there any other way?"
The supermarket is only temporarily closed and may reopen in the next day, so Chen Zhe doesn't want to give up.
"Yes, but I don't know if you can do it?"
"Please give instructions, Sister Hu!"
Hu Ling smiled slightly; "Chen Zhe, are you a person of strong principles?"
Why would Sister Hu ask that?
"Just answer me: if I support you in reopening the supermarket, are you willing to abandon your principles?"
"I wonder which aspect of the principle Sister Hu is referring to?"
"Body!"
Chen Zhe's expression changed slightly; "Sister Hu..."
"Hehe, what's wrong? Were you scared?"
"I...I just didn't expect it..."
“Wei Meng and Shen Xingang have recently run into trouble. Shen Xingang was having an affair with another woman, which Wei Meng discovered and used against him. That’s why he’s helping Wei Ming. Shen Xingang is very wealthy, so I don’t need to keep getting entangled with him. The best way to break through now is to target Wei Meng. As long as Wei Meng makes the same mistake, then Shen Xingang will have no reason to stand up for Wei Ming anymore. Do you understand?”
"What...does this have to do with me?"
Chen Zhe could vaguely sense what Hu Ling was about to say.
"Of course! I need you to seduce Wei Meng. If you can do it, your supermarket can reopen."
Although he had already guessed it, Chen Zhe was still somewhat shocked to hear Hu Ling say it in person.
Is she going to use her good looks to seduce someone?
"Sister Hu, I don't think I'm that charming..."
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. I'll help you come up with ideas. You just need to nod or shake your head. Of course, I won't force you. I'm a very easy-going person, and I won't force someone to do something they don't want to do."
"I...can I think about it?"
"Of course you can. You have 20 minutes to think about it. After 20 minutes, just pretend I never said that today."
"Oh? Is it in such a hurry?"
Chen Zhe was stunned.
"The effects of the medicine in her room will be around this time, so have you thought it through?"
"I……"
