Chapter 206
The man surnamed Han wanted his career fortune told, which the viewers in the live stream thought was perfectly normal.
After all, most people in today's society, once they leave school and enter the workforce, quickly abandon romance and love and focus solely on making money.
Don't you see that the temple in front of the Old Man Under the Moon is deserted, while the entrance to the temple of the God of Wealth is packed with people?
But strangely enough, viewers in the live stream noticed that the host didn't respond to the lucky viewer's request today.
Qin Su asked, "Are you sure? I suggest you have your marriage fortune told."
【Huh? What happened?】
[That's strange. Isn't the streamer usually so easygoing? Why is he offering suggestions this time?]
[Will this handsome older man have any special problems with his love life?]
Listen to the broadcaster.
I can almost smell the aroma of melons.
The comments were overwhelmingly in favor of Qin Su, urging the person with the auspicious fortune to heed her advice and change their marriage prediction.
Shangshangqian also saw these words, but did not hesitate because of them.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing the host specifically mention marriage, they would most likely listen to the advice and have their marriage fortune told. But this is different for a top-tier fortune. He has an urgent matter at hand and has been waiting for the right opportunity. Today, he happened to draw this fortune, and it would be a pity to give up this opportunity.
He pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, but still said decisively, "I still want to talk about my career, is that okay?"
"Sure." Qin Su seemed unconcerned, shifting to a more comfortable sitting position. "Tell me more about it."
Shangshangqian perked up and quickly recounted the predicament he was facing.
It turns out he works in the food production industry and owns many factories. He has cooperated with several well-known brands. Recently, he received a new OEM order from a foreign company. The order is huge and there is no time to build a new production line. So he has to use the old production line, but the old production line is still producing products from previous partners.
"Most importantly, this former business partner is related to my ex-wife," Shangshangqian said awkwardly. "When I was with my ex-wife, because of this family connection, our cooperation was quite pleasant. Later, my ex-wife and I separated due to incompatibility, and we also..."
He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "So I was thinking, if we take this opportunity to introduce a new partner and give the old production line to the new product, wouldn't that be better for all of us? But this is still a breach of contract, and I feel guilty and uneasy, which is why I thought of asking the master to help me make a decision."
Shangshangqian felt that his words were reasonable and sincere, and he waited expectantly for Qin Su's answer.
Qin Su raised her chin, her expression a half-smile: "Is that so?"
She said in a flat tone, "Then you may have a misunderstanding about our industry. We never make decisions for people, we can only show you the direction of your fortune."
Shangshangqian was taken aback for a moment, then followed her words and said, "A favorable fortune is fine too, it can be considered as pointing me in the right direction."
As he spoke, the comments section erupted with discussion.
Therefore, it's best not to do business with relatives and friends. Not only are there potential for conflicts of interest, but once the relationship fades or disappears, the business will also fall apart.
Although it's a breach of contract, I feel he has a point. He and his ex-wife are broken up, so it would be awkward to cooperate with her relatives again.
[Perhaps the other party is also looking for a reason to end the cooperation, and this is perfect opportunity.]
"There's no need for that. Relatives are relatives, and business is business. It's not like being relatives means they won't pay or make a profit. The other party is his ex-wife's relative, not his biological parents. What's so awkward about that?"
Doesn't anyone find what he said a bit off? His production line relies heavily on its biggest partner, who has a close relationship with his ex-wife, to the point that he felt embarrassed about it after the divorce. Doesn't that imply that his business was largely supported by his ex-wife?
[Oh, why are so many people understanding him? No matter how nicely he says things, isn't it still a breach of contract? That's a lack of business integrity.]
Why do I feel like the streamer is being a bit cold towards him?
[Hilarious! When is the streamer ever not aloof? Don't let her pretty face fool you, she has quite a temper.]
"You were born in a village in the mountains of Northeast China. Your family was poor. Whether you look at the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of your birth date or your face, it is certain that your parents did not help you much. You also have two siblings, but after adulthood, the family ties became weak and you had very little contact with them."
Qin Su flicked the white paper with his birth date and time written on it, and began to speak slowly from the beginning.
Seeing that she didn't even ask herself if this information was accurate, as if she was very certain, and that what she said was indeed without any mistakes, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Because he didn't actually come here to have his fortune told today.
Although fortune-telling live streams seem rare to most people, there are actually quite a few people doing them on every live streaming platform, and most of them select people for fortune-telling through methods such as giving gifts, drawing lots from comments, or drawing lots from fans.
Shangshangqian followed many live streams and participated in each one in the same way, just waiting for one of the streamers to select him so he could say what he had prepared.
He was even pleasantly surprised when Qin Su picked him, because Qin Su looked like a fraud with no real skills.
Therefore, Shangshangqian was polite on the surface, but secretly decided that no matter what Qin Su said, she would say that she was right, and then casually pinned the decision that "it is not advisable to cooperate with the old partners again" on her.
But he never expected that this master who looked like a fraud was actually a real master.
She's actually going to start talking about something from so long ago; if she actually reveals something, that would be terrible.
Shangshangqian forced a smile, trying to interrupt Qin Su: "Master, you are right, but I have other things to do later, and time is a little tight. Could you please take a look at the key issues first?"
Qin Su leaned back, tilted her head and ate a slice of peach from Ye Yan's hand, saying meaningfully, "You hesitated for so long about whether to break the contract, never once mentioning the urgency of the situation, but now that we're talking about your rise to wealth, you're suddenly in a rush?"
Shangshangqian's face stiffened, and before he could think of a way to make a joke, Qin Su spoke up again.
"Or are you afraid of what I'm about to say? Although your parents and brothers have been of little help to you, your wife has been a great help to you."
"After all, how many people in this world can rise from poverty to wealth overnight? Besides good fortune and helpful people, the best way is of course to marry into another family."
"You married into a wealthy family, expanded your business through your wife's connections, and your career is going very smoothly, right?"
Shangshangqian stared blankly at the camera, her mind buzzing. With each word the other person spoke, a memory would flood back.
He thought he had forgotten all the shame, resentment, gossip, humility, contempt, and criticism, but it turns out he never had.
He wanted to yell at the other person to shut up, but he moved his lips without making a sound.
The last vestige of his reason told him that things were already bad enough, and if he broke down and lost control again, he would have no last lifeline.
He closed his eyes, covered his face, and murmured uncontrollably, "...Stop talking, stop talking...please..."
He spoke very softly, but Qin Su heard him.
She paused, a genuine smile of joy appearing on her face—the first one she'd shown since the start of the live stream.
"Is it that painful? That's amusing." Qin Su smiled slightly. "I'm just curious, is your pain because I brought up your unknown past, or because I mentioned your wife whom you deceived and betrayed?"
