Lin Yu shook his head and said seriously, "Mom, you're mistaken. The art of divination has existed since ancient times. My shamanic practice can be considered a school of its own. Do you really think those rich people are fools? If I didn't have real skills, would those big bosses listen to me?"
Lin Yu said confidently, "Mom, think about it carefully. Hasn't our family gotten better since I married Xueqing? Xueqing took on two big projects from Xiongfeng and is now her own boss. Isn't that all thanks to me?"
Zhang Ailan was taken aback, but then scoffed, "Come on! That's the result of Xueqing's own hard work and the young marshal's appreciation. What does it have to do with you!"
Lu Xueqing quickly said, "Mom, you know what! Even I find it strange. I've been so lucky lately. Not only have I gained the favor of the young marshal, but I've also been getting projects one after another. Maybe it really is thanks to Lin Yu!"
Actually, Lu Xueqing was only half-convinced by Lin Yu's words. She said this only to make Zhang Ailan pay more attention to Lin Yu.
Zhang Ailan, of course, didn't buy it and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Come on, don't try to flatter him!"
"Okay, I'm not talking to you guys anymore. I'm exhausted after sitting in the car all afternoon. I'm going to take a shower and go to the sauna to relax!"
Zhang Ailan hummed a little tune as she went back to her room.
At this moment, Lu Xueqing's eyes showed some worry. She walked over and grabbed Lin Yu, saying, "Brother Tian is treating us so well, is he up to something? What if he still wants to ask you for help? I don't want you to be a shaman again!"
Ultimately, what she cared about was Lin Yu's safety.
She didn't want Lin Yu to repeat any of the five deficiencies and three shortcomings, and return to that dark and hopeless life he used to lead.
Lin Yu took her hand and comforted her, "Honey, don't worry. I stopped doing divination for people a long time ago. Since Zhou Xiaotian knows my abilities, he wouldn't dare offend me! Even if I don't do divination for him, he wouldn't dare do anything to me!"
"That's good!"
Lu Xueqing nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
Just then, Zhang Ailan's voice came from the suite, "Eldest son, come quick! Let's shower together, you can scrub my back!"
"Okay, coming right away!"
Lu Xueqing shook her head helplessly and said to Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, there are so many rooms here, why don't you pick one yourself? Then you won't have to sleep on the floor tonight!"
Lin Yu looked helpless.
I thought that coming to Guanzhong would give me the opportunity to take care of something important.
This is terrible! We can't even get into the house!
Lin Yu felt very frustrated when the phone suddenly rang.
It was Feng Jiu calling.
Lin Yu hurriedly said to his wife, "Honey, now that we're staying in a hotel, I don't need to cook anymore. I want to go out for a walk by myself!"
Lu Xueqing looked at him suspiciously. "A friend is looking for you?"
Lin Yu nodded. "It's General Feng Jiu. I'm the young marshal's double now. I've come to Guanzhong, and he came with me to protect me!"
"So it's General Feng Jiu! Wait for me a moment!"
Lu Xueqing quickly walked to the sofa, took out a bank card from her bag, and handed it to Lin Yu. "I was so grateful to General Feng Jiu for saving me last time. He's our benefactor. Go treat him to a meal and thank him properly for me! There's 100,000 yuan in this card. Take it and use it first! Oh, and find a decent restaurant. Don't be stingy!"
"Uh, wife..."
"Oh, just take it! Stop being so indecisive!"
Without saying a word, Lu Xueqing shoved the card into his hand.
Lin Yu looked helpless and had no choice but to put it away.
A moment later, Lin Yu came downstairs, and a jeep slowly drove up.
Feng Jiu arrived in Guanzhong last night and, following Lin Yu's instructions, went to the Marquis's residence today to deliver a visiting card.
The reason for coming to find Lin Yu at this time was naturally to report back.
As soon as she got into the car, Feng Jiu reported, "Young Marshal, I have delivered the invitation, but I did not see Xu Chengyi, and the Xu family has not invited you to visit!"
Lin Yu frowned. "So, I was turned away?"
Feng Jiu hurriedly said, "Young Marshal, how about I go again tomorrow?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No rush, let's wait a couple of days and see! If there's still no response, I'll personally come to visit!"
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Lin Yu asked again.
"No!"
"Perfect timing, my wife asked me to treat you to dinner! Let's go!"
"Young Marshal, you're inviting me to dinner? How many stars should we go to?" Feng Jiu asked excitedly.
Lin Yu threw a large bag at him, "What else do you want to eat? Let's find a roadside stall and grab some skewers. Aren't two bottles of strong liquor luxurious enough?"
Enough, enough, enough!
Feng Jiu didn't dare say anything and quickly started the car.
Just as the two were heading to get some barbecue skewers.
A video of internet celebrity Xiao Weiwei exposing the dark side of the industry went viral on Douyin and became a trending topic in less than an hour.
This video, narrated by Xiao Weiwei, exposes the shady dealings of Xiao Weiwei herself and the media company behind her.
The video content mainly includes several points.
Xiao Weiwei and several other local internet celebrities from Guanzhong sold counterfeit goods in their live streams and evaded taxes. Most shockingly, several beautiful internet celebrities, who were seen as pure and innocent by their fans, were actually used as tools for power-for-sex transactions and were asked to serve important figures in the political and business circles to launder money for interest groups!
The video immediately drew criticism from netizens.
Xiao Weiwei's company, Mushan Media, was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.
Fans unfollowed him en masse, the top donor fled overnight, and the Mushan Media influencer livestream room was flooded with profanity, forcing the streamers to end their broadcasts.
