Chapter 76 Jinjiang Debut
After hearing what Bai Mian said, the woman opposite became visibly nervous. She pretended to be calm and retracted her arm, but accidentally knocked over the water cup in front of Que Ge, and all the water in the cup spilled onto Que Ge's pants. Que Ge frowned, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and went to the bathroom to change his pants.
The woman raised her eyebrows, as if she was surprised by Bai Mian's words: "Master, why do you say that? I am just a fan of your live broadcast room. I came here because of your reputation. I queued for a long time to get a number, and I waited all day today. If it wasn't for seeing you, I wouldn't have waited so long!"
Bai Mian raised his lips and said, "Then please tell me what happened just now again."
"Just tell me, it's not that difficult." The woman began to retell the story.
Lame Brother changed his pants and came out. Seeing that the woman was saying exactly the same thing as before, he immediately understood what Bai Mian meant. He smiled evilly and said to the woman, "Not bad. You didn't even make a single mistake in punctuation. You're more serious than a primary school student reciting a text. Sister, did you memorize this story in advance?"
The woman's face turned pale, but she was still trying to be strong: "What right do you have to say that? It's simply slander! Is it because I'm not broadcasting now that you've changed your attitude? Wait, I understand, Master Bai, you can't figure it out, right?"
"See, this is your way of finding fault," Bai Mian said lightly, "If I refuse to tell you the room number, you will say that I can't figure it out. If I tell you the room number, then it must be wrong, and you will spread the word in town that I can't figure it out. In fact, your husband is not in any room of Fujia Hotel. The story you just told, including your name, is false. Your husband is at home now, waiting for your good news."
Lame Brother was puzzled, and he asked the woman: "Big sister, what on earth are you trying to achieve by doing this? Our little god of wealth is just doing a live broadcast, how does it bother you?"
The woman kept silent, so Bai Mian answered for her: "Because my presence has affected her family's business, her real identity is the proprietress of the 'Hu's Fortune Telling' shop. The Hu's Fortune Telling shop has been in the town for many years and has been making a living by fortune telling. Although the shop owner Hu Lao Ba doesn't have any fortune telling skills, he is smooth-talking and can always make customers happy. The couple made a lot of money because of this, but after I came, the situation was very different."
Bai Mian looked at the woman and said, "Before I started the live broadcast, I expected that it would cause jealousy among my peers, but I didn't expect that their acting skills would be so lame and ridiculous."
Lame Brother suddenly realized: "So you are Hu Lao Ba's wife. I pass by your store every day on my way to work. I can see that your store is getting more and more deserted. I guess you can't even pay the rent for next year. That's right, people who want fortune-telling are lining up to come to Ci Xin Tang now. No wonder you are so anxious! Big sister, competition among peers also depends on one's ability. The field of metaphysics is not something that everyone can touch. The two of you have been cheating in Qingshui Town for so many years, and it's time to stop. I advise you to stop it!"
The woman's defense was broken by what Lame Brother said. She said to Bai Mian in a stern voice, "What Hu Lao Ba? I don't even know the person you are talking about! I just wanted to come here to have my fortune told, but I didn't expect to be humiliated by you for no reason. Is this how you treat your fans? Master Bai, I keep calling you Master. I have finally seen that you have no real ability and can't tell anything. I hope your store will close down soon!"
After the woman finished speaking, she picked up her bag and was about to leave. Bai Mian called out from behind her:
"Xue Xiaoxia."
The woman stopped, turned around, and subconsciously wanted to agree, but two seconds later she reacted, her face turned purple, and she ran away angrily.
Lame Brother laughed, and Bai Mian said, "This is her real name."
Watching the woman leave, Lame Brother asked, "Is this woman stupid? If she wanted to discredit you, why did she let you feel her pulse? Doesn't she know that as long as you feel her pulse, you will know everything about her?"
Bai Mian: "She doesn't believe I have this ability at all. She thinks everything that happened in the live broadcast room was a script, and those people were actors I found."
Lame Brother sneered: "Humph, you are so short-sighted. Just because you are incompetent, you think your colleagues are incompetent too. Several things here have alarmed the police. Who would be so generous as to let the police cooperate with us in acting?"
"Hu's Divine Calculation..." Weng Xuhua muttered the name, as if remembering something, "This shop used to be quite famous. Many incidents happened there. The older generation all knew about it."
Lame Brother became interested: "What? There is something I don't know? Tell me quickly!"
Weng Xuhua began to talk slowly: "I remember there was a big boss who liked to speculate in stocks. He asked Hu Laoba whether he should buy an unpopular stock. Hu Laoba strongly recommended that he buy it, saying that it would soar in the future. So the big boss used all his assets to buy that stock. As a result, the stock price continued to fall, the big boss was burdened with debts, and finally jumped off the building."
Lame Brother pondered: "This Hu Lao Ba is really outspoken, but the big boss also has problems, he has too much of a gambler mentality!"
Weng Xuhua went on to say, "There was another student who had just finished the college entrance examination. His grades were very good and he was one of the top students in our town. His parents didn't know what major to enroll in, so they went to ask Hu Laoba. The student was originally interested in computer science and wanted to be a programmer, but Hu Laoba suggested that he study mathematics, so his parents enrolled him in mathematics. Later, they heard that the mathematics courses were particularly difficult, so the student couldn't study at all and failed the courses at every turn. In the end, he had no choice but to drop out and go back to high school."
Lame brother was almost suffocating: "Oh my God, I finally survived the college entrance examination, but I have to go through it again! If it were me, I would really want to kill someone. It would have been better to let students make their own decisions. In the past few years, programmers were in high demand. Programmers in large companies could easily earn a million dollars a year. What a pity!"
Weng Xuhua: "There is another incident. The mother of a young girl went to Hu Laoba to have her marriage fortune told. The girl had a blind date at the time, but she didn't like the man and was going to reject him. But Hu Laoba said that the two were a match made in heaven and would be together forever. So the girl's mother forced her to marry the man."
"At first the man behaved well, but within two years of marriage, his true colors were exposed. He became addicted to alcohol and would beat the girl every time he was drunk. The girl, for the sake of face, endured and did not divorce. After a few years, the man beat the girl again and killed her. The man himself was sentenced to death. This incident caused a sensation at the time."
After Weng Xuhua finished speaking, several people sighed at the same time. Lame Brother sighed, "What a sin! Hu Lao Ba doesn't understand metaphysics at all, and he dares to point fingers at other people's life events. His shop has been open for so many years, and I don't know how many people's lives have been ruined. It's better for a shop like this to go bankrupt!"
After a few sighs, Lame Brother went home from get off work. Gao Jin brought out the dinner that had been prepared long ago. After dinner, Bai Mian returned to his bedroom.
Bai Mian washed her hair with rice water. Her long hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, exuding a natural fragrance. She held her face with her hands and leaned against the window to look at the moon.
The moonlight shone on her face, and the system's voice sounded again:
"Report to the host, you have gained thirty points of good karma today, and the current good karma value is: 250."
Her cell phone was broken today and she hasn't bought a new one yet, so Bai Mian is temporarily unable to check the data in the live broadcast room. She combed her long hair over and over again with a peach wood comb, and after her hair dried, she went to bed early.
The next morning, before work time, Bai Mian had just come down from the second floor when Lame Brother rushed in, shouting:
"Little God of Wealth, bad news! You've been hacked and become a hot topic!"
After hearing what he said, Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin lost their mood to eat. They gathered around him eagerly. Bai Mian calmly took the phone from Lame Brother and looked at the trending searches on Weibo.
Because the day before, Lame Brother secretly live-broadcasted the process of searching for He Xianxian and exposed her dirty laundry, today the names of He Xianxian and Bai Mian both appeared on the hot search list, but Bai Mian's name was followed by the following entry:
#Bai Mian swears
Bai Mian clicked on the entry and saw that a Weibo user named "芋泥三分糖" had posted an audio file. It contained Bai Mian's voice, but the content was some obscene words that were unbearable to the ears.
"It must be that woman from yesterday. She edited the audio maliciously!" Brother Lame pointed at the audio and said, "Little God of Wealth's original words were not like this. That woman picked out some words and pieced them together to make such ugly swear words!"
Bai Mian nodded: "When she came yesterday, she had a recording device in her bag and recorded the conversation between me and her."
Lame Brother punched the wall in regret: "No wonder she protected her bag so carefully. If I had known, I would have snatched the recording equipment away!"
Although this audio has been edited, it was produced by professionals so it sounds smooth and there is nothing unusual. Most netizens believed it and there were a lot of comments in the comment section asking people to stop being fans.
[So this is what she is like in private. She sounds so mean, totally different from what she shows in the live broadcast room! 】
[As expected, internet celebrities are all just personalities. I’m going to unfollow them right now]
[Then everything that happened in the live broadcast room couldn’t be fake, right? 】
[I was her fan for only one day and she already fell out of favor. Who among her family members would understand? 】
Bai Mian used Que Ge's mobile phone to log into the live broadcast account and found that the number of fans of the account had dropped from 350,000 to 290,000, and was still decreasing.
Gao Jin asked with concern: "My little disciple clearly didn't say that at the time. Can I take a video and post it online to testify for her?"
Lame Brother shook his head: "You are an employee of our store and have a vested interest in Little God of Wealth. Even if you post it online, no one will believe it unless an outsider comes to testify for us. But the bodyguards had just driven people away, and all the onlookers in the store had left. Not a single outsider was there, and our phones were broken. We didn't start the live broadcast, so there is no live broadcast replay. Damn it! They took advantage of this loophole, and now we really can't produce any evidence at all!"
Bai Mian smiled slightly: "That may not be the case."
