"I don't mind paying more, as long as it's done quickly, because I want to open for business as soon as possible."
"That's fine, we can shorten the construction period to ten days." The foreman nodded with a smile, very confident.
Ten days? The construction period has been shortened by half.
"Won't it be less effective if it's so fast?" I hesitated, because I really didn't know anything about this.
"No, our results will definitely not let you fail."
"Then I'll leave it to you. How much is the deposit?" I thought about it and made the decision. I was too lazy to look for anyone else.
"Pay 50,000 first."
"Okay." I nodded, transferred the deposit to the foreman, and then signed the contract with them.
"Okay, we can start work tomorrow. I'll go back and prepare some materials today."
"Okay, I'll leave this shop to you."
After the renovation team left, my phone suddenly rang again.
Who is it? Looking for me again?
I glanced at my phone screen; there was a number without a contact name, but it looked somewhat familiar.
I answered the phone and turned on speakerphone, "Hello?"
"Fairy Maiden, it's me!" came Xiao Zhang's voice from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Zhang?" You and I exchanged a glance, puzzled as to why Xiao Zhang had suddenly called me.
"Yes, it's me."
"You called me because you need something?" Xiao Zhang's matter should have been resolved. Xiao Yun and his child have been taken away by Lan Qi. There will definitely be no oversights.
Is Xiao Zhang being haunted by ghosts again? So unlucky!
"There is something I need." Xiao Zhang nodded hesitantly. "I didn't want to come to you, but we really can't solve it. We've consulted many extraordinary people, but none of them have been of any use. I know that you, Fairy, have real abilities."
"Alright, stop flattering me and get to the point," I interrupted Xiao Zhang as he continued praising me.
Not bad, someone came to me before my psychic shop even opened.
"It's like this, it's a child of my relative's. After going on a trip, he came back with a strange illness."
"What illness?"
"It's hard to explain this to you over the phone. Are you free now? I'll come pick you up now."
"Sure, I'll send you the address later." I nodded. Everything at the museum was mostly arranged, and I didn't have anything else to do later.
Okay.
After hanging up the phone, I sent the address to Xiao Zhang.
Oh right, I also need to make business cards for my psychic shop later, but I need to design the conditions in advance, otherwise there will be a constant stream of people coming and I won't be able to handle them all.
"You, Xiao Zhang will come to pick us up later."
"Yes, I heard you."
"Are you really alright?" I still remember the pile of memorials on You's desk.
"It's nothing," You said softly, then, seeing that I still seemed worried, she added, "I've read all the memorials; they're all trivial matters."
"Really?" I was still a little worried. My matter was just something I suddenly decided to do, but You's matter was definitely more important than mine.
"Yes, really." You smiled gently. "You still don't believe me? Or..." You paused, "You want to leave me behind and be with Xiao Zhang alone?"
"What did you say?" I muttered in dissatisfaction. "How could that be?"
"Then don't ask, I'm fine."
"Okay." I nodded.
As we were talking, the roar of a sports car came from in front of the door.
"Xiao Zhang is here?" I turned my head to look at the street outside.
Wow, you arrived pretty quickly. Looks like it's urgent.
Our door wasn't locked, so Xiao Zhang got out of the car and hurriedly pushed the door open to come in.
"Fairy Maiden, what is this place?"
"We're planning to open a psychic shop. This is the storefront. What do you think?"
Xiao Zhang looked around and said, "Not bad, not bad."
"Right? It's not renovated yet. I just found a renovation team and we'll start tomorrow."
"A renovation team?" Xiao Zhang sat across from me. "Where did you find them? Are they reliable? They might rip you off."
"No way, I think it's pretty reliable." Actually, after Xiao Zhang said that, I was a little unsure of myself.
"Work starts tomorrow, right?"
"Yes." I nodded.
Xiao Zhang raised an eyebrow and said, "How about this, you leave this to me. I'll have my brother drive it tomorrow, and nothing serious will happen."
"That works too." I nodded in agreement; it would be good to have Xiao Zhang's help.
"Tell me about your situation. What strange illness have you contracted?"
“My friend’s child has been acting like a madman lately, writhing around the house, eating raw meat, and talking nonsense all day long.”
"Twisting and turning?"
"Hmm." Xiao Zhang nodded. "It looks somewhat like a snake. Their family has also consulted people, but they either have no solution or say that they can't handle this matter."
Can't it be done? I have a pretty good idea now. It seems this child is possessed by a snake demon.
However, monsters generally do not interfere with humans, especially monsters with cultivation, who would never do something that would destroy their cultivation.
It seems that this child must have somehow provoked that snake demon.
"Take me to see it."
"Okay, with you here, there's absolutely no problem." Xiao Zhang had seen my abilities before and admired me greatly.
"By the way, do you know if there's a print shop nearby?" I asked Xiao Zhang, who was in the driver's seat, as we got into his car.
"I know, so what?"
"After we go to your house, take me to the print shop. I need to make a business card for our psychic shop."
I originally wanted to go to the print shop first, but then I remembered that Xiao Zhang's situation was urgent. His child was possessed by a snake demon, and every second of delay would harm the child.
I wasn't in such a rush to get my business card.
"Okay, sure." Xiao Zhang readily agreed.
Xiao Zhang drove extremely fast and soon parked his car in a villa area. He was indeed a rich second-generation, and his relatives were also wealthy.
"Fairy Maiden, we've arrived. Please get off the vehicle."
"Okay." You and I got out of the car first, and Xiao Zhang turned off the car and got out as well.
Xiao Zhang led us into the villa with practiced ease.
"Young Master, you've arrived?" A middle-aged man in a suit and tie greeted Xiao Zhang as he approached.
"Hmm." Xiao Zhang nodded slightly. "How is Congcong?"
"Sigh." The man sighed, "It's still the same. I just saw another Taoist priest off."
"It's alright, Congcong will be fine soon." Xiao Zhang turned to introduce me and You, "This is an expert I invited, there won't be any problems."
"Please come in quickly." The man glanced at You and me, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and invited us in.
As soon as I entered the villa, I smelled a strong stench of snake, which instantly made me feel disgusted.
My mind immediately conjured up Liu Lieyu's face.
I frowned and covered my nose; it wasn't a pleasant memory.
You naturally noticed my movements and took the initiative to step forward, holding my hand and gently squeezing my palm to comfort me.
