She read it aloud unconsciously.
"The phoenix rises from the ashes, finding peace in water?"
She looked up, her eyes filled with obvious confusion, but also with a hint of expectation that she herself was unaware of.
"What...does this mean?"
Qin Xiao nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with determination.
"That's exactly what I meant."
"President Feng, you must remember that your destiny is associated with the fire element, which is fiery and vigorous, but it is also prone to backlash."
"If you ever find yourself in a life-or-death crisis, remember to do everything in your power to get to a place with water."
"Whether it's a river, lake, or sea, or even just a small fountain, it can become the source of your vitality."
"These eight words of wisdom will surely help you turn danger into safety and overcome calamities."
Feng Lingyi remained silent for a moment, her fingertips gently tracing the eight characters, feeling the soft texture of the napkin.
Finally, she carefully folded the napkin, her movements delicate, as if it were some rare treasure, and placed it securely into her exquisite little handbag.
"Thank you for your guidance today, Mr. Qin. I will keep it in mind."
She slowly stood up, regaining her usual elegance and competence as a powerful businesswoman, though her expression seemed slightly more relaxed.
"It's getting late, and I have a full day of schedule tomorrow, so I'll go back to my room to rest now."
Qin Xiao also stood up, his posture polite and considerate, and nodded slightly.
"Please feel free to contact me if you need anything, Ms. Feng."
Watching Feng Lingyi's graceful figure disappear completely at the restaurant entrance, Qin Xiao's smile deepened, revealing a meaningful expression.
Back in the presidential suite, Qin Xiao relaxed and sank into the soft, large sofa, closing his eyes to rest.
[Host, there are really very few plot clues about Feng Lingyi in my database. What you just said... really? You can really tell fortunes? You even have the Little Six Ren divination method?]
Yun Yiyi's curious voice rang in Qin Xiao's mind, her tone filled with disbelief, surprise, and a touch of admiration.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, but did not open his eyes.
"It's just a superficial understanding. Combining her facial features and palmistry, and using the Little Six Ren method to roughly predict her recent fortune, it's still barely possible."
He paused, his voice carrying a hint of lazy confidence.
"Besides, it's not all about calculations."
"Have you forgotten? Ye Chen, that domineering only son, has a 'wife-killing' aura. Which woman who gets close to him can have a good ending? It's practically a law, no calculation is needed."
"Most importantly, I have successfully planted a seed of doubt in Feng Lingyi's heart, a seed that is extremely detrimental to her 'fiancé'."
“She’s smart enough that she’ll naturally keep an eye on things when she gets back. Ye Chen’s foolish behavior will only continue to confirm my ‘prediction’.”
"Next, we just need to closely monitor their subsequent movements and wait for the right time."
He sat up straight, his expression becoming focused, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Yun Yiyi, help me find out which of the eight great families in the capital have Ye Chen not formally visited yet?"
Yun Yiyi quickly mobilized the system data and responded in a crisp voice.
[Reporting to the host! Based on current information, the families Ye Chen has not yet officially contacted are the Song family, the Nie family, the Shu family, and the Liu family!]
[Oh, by the way, regarding the Liu family, the subsequent plot will still follow the classic "celebrating birthday" scene. Ye Chen will steal the show at the Liu family matriarch's birthday banquet, presenting her with a Ru ware celadon vase that is said to be long lost, then reciting poetry and giving her a good slap in the face... like you in the original plot.]
However, according to my monitoring, Liu Qingyou, the talented young lady from the Liu family, seems to have already had contact with Ye Chen for some reason, and was quite angered by Ye Chen's rude words and actions. It's estimated that her favorability towards Ye Chen has already plummeted to rock bottom and won't rise again!
Qin Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the leather armrest of the sofa, producing a steady rhythm.
"The birthday banquet of the matriarch of the Liu family..."
He brought up the system interface and carefully read the detailed description of this part of the original plot.
According to the original plot, Ye Chen would indeed rely on this antique he got from who-knows-where and a few bad poems to show off in front of the cultured Liu family, making the original owner "Qin Xiao" lose face completely.
But now...
Just then, his phone rang; it was Su Wanying calling.
As soon as the call connected, Su Wanying's unique, charming voice, which seemed to penetrate one's bones, came through the receiver, filled with undisguised enthusiasm.
"Hey, Little Qinqin!"
Su Wanying's voice instantly rose several octaves, filled with excitement and undisguised intimacy.
"Why did it take you so long to call? I'm shopping with Siqing at SKT right now! Lots of pretty clothes and bags! Do you want to come over and give us your opinions, and maybe... pay the bill?"
As Qin Xiao listened to the saleswoman's enthusiastic introduction and the light background music faintly coming from the other end of the phone, a helpless yet amused expression appeared on his lips.
When these two women get together, their fighting power is indeed astonishing.
"Okay, which store are you at? Send me the location and I'll head over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiao got up, grabbed his coat, tidied his clothes, and left the hotel room.
However, half an hour later.
Inside the VIP lounge of Chanel in the most luxurious shopping mall in the capital.
