Chapter 32 The Thirty-Second Star



The amount of money involved between Chu Qianli and Boss Zhang was huge, so both parties naturally had a strict contract process and even agreed on a time for the final payment.

Chu Qianli was well prepared. She took the file bag from Tan Muxing, pulled out a thick file, and said, "No problem. You can do as I say first. It will work before the final payment."

Boss Zhang took the information and asked hurriedly, "Have you read all the information I gave you?"

"I've read it. Nothing goes well for me. My company is about to go bankrupt." Chu Qianli said casually. "All the solutions are written down here one by one."

Boss Zhang has had a very difficult year. His old factory suddenly broke down and he hired someone to repair it but it was ineffective. Soon the factory fell into chaos again and he is now in arrears with his workers' wages.

In theory, this minor problem is not a big deal. Business people always have cash flow. However, other companies under the group also have frequent troubles. The company's newly developed business is deeply involved in lawsuits, the capital chain has been broken, and the business loan is about to expire.

The charity industry was also involved in the scandal, and many people forced it to make its accounts public. Anyway, it all sounded particularly weird when they were all thrown together.

If things continue like this, Boss Zhang might go bankrupt and go to jail. No wonder he is so anxious to find a master recently.

Boss Zhang looked down at the information and said happily, "Okay, okay, you mean things will get better before the final payment?"

Chu Qianli: "Just move quickly."

Boss Zhang held the thick book in his hand and scanned the pages at a glance, wondering, "I do have a factory in Province T, but it has nothing to do with the old factory building. Why do we need to remove this section of pipe? And will the change of the company's name take effect so quickly?"

Boss Zhang knows that some companies will change their fortunes by changing their names, but the date for the final payment is very close, how can it be effective immediately?

Chu Qianli said impatiently: "Uncle Zhang, if you want to believe it, then believe it. If you don't, forget it. To be honest, I am tired of writing so many solutions for you."

All the bad things that Boss Zhang encountered could be compiled into a book, and Chu Qianli really gave him suggestions one by one.

"Yes, yes, I can see that the master is serious. He really provides methods for every problem." Boss Zhang praised him immediately. "I have never asked anyone to calculate so detailed before!"

"If everything goes well, you will be able to pay the workers in half a month, and then you will have room to maneuver the overdue bank loans, and everything will be back on track."

Boss Zhang's brows lighted up instantly. He couldn't wait to do as he was told. When he turned around to leave, he was stopped by He Jianping.

He Jianping reminded: "Ahem, Mr. Zhang, it seems like something is missing..."

Boss Zhang slapped his forehead as if he had suddenly realized something. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, that's right, I'll transfer the money right away. Lao He and the lawyer will be witnesses. We'll all follow the procedure!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy that I almost forgot about the main thing, including mortgaging the jewelry. Now I have to draw up a charter."

He Jianping and the lawyer stepped in to resolve the trivial matters. They urged Boss Zhang to make the payment, and only then was everything settled.

Chu Qianli and Boss Zhang each took the contract, exchanged some pleasantries and were about to leave, neither intending to stay any longer.

Chu Qianli stood up, straightened her clothes, and said kindly, "By the way, Uncle Zhang, although everything is written in the file, I still want to remind you that charity is not that easy to solve. You'd better not make money in the next two or three years, and focus on doing good deeds to make up for your mistakes."

"You will encounter many good business opportunities in the future, but you must not take any of them, otherwise you will be in big trouble." Chu Qianli said with a smile, "But you have repented, and I guess you won't make the same mistake again."

Boss Zhang patted his chest and assured: "Yes, I have listened to the master and changed my ways. Once the funds come back, I will donate to Hope Primary School!"

"That would be great."

Boss Zhang and his group left in a hurry.

The heavily made-up woman glared at Chu Qianli before leaving. She then glanced at the jewelry on the table, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

Chu Qianli looked back straight and said nonchalantly: "Don't keep staring at me, I will think you are in love with me."

The woman bit her teeth hard, but she finally stopped pestering her.

Inside the house, Tan Muxing received the materials from He Jianping and the lawyer and put them into the folder intact. He was startled when he saw the jewelry on the table, so he had to carefully put it away and put it into his bag along with the materials.

He Jianping asked curiously, "Little Master, the account you used to deposit money this time has changed. I don't think it's the same one as last time."

"This is specially made, and can't be mixed together."

He Jianping was puzzled when he heard this, but he didn't think about it and smiled and said, "Okay, I will help you to urge the balance, and this matter is resolved!"

The two thanked He Jianping, said goodbye and left the private room.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing came out of the teahouse and saw dark clouds outside the building. The sky suddenly changed.

"Such a thick cloud." Chu Qianli exclaimed, "Dragon King is working overtime this weekend?"

"Let's go, it looks like a heavy rainstorm." Tan Muxing lowered her head and searched her bag, "I feel like an umbrella isn't enough to stop this kind of rain."

Thunder roared, dark clouds rolled, and rain poured down on the world.

On the other hand, Boss Zhang held the thick booklet as if it were a treasure. He had visited many masters, but they either evaded the question or were evasive, and really could not provide detailed solutions.

He followed Chu Qianli's instructions one by one, and sure enough, he encountered no more bad luck, and even the company was on the verge of revival.

Someone removed a pipe section in a factory in Province T, and a large stone rolled out of it. No one knew where the stone came from. The next week, the old factory had no more problems. The two factories were not in the same province, so this matter was puzzling.

A certain company changed its name to a new one created by Chu Qianli, and soon after, the funds from many years ago were turned around, finally solving the urgent problem. The company's new business was involved in a lawsuit, but now there are signs of a private settlement, which is definitely a major turning point.

There are countless similar stories, all listed in thick volumes.

Boss Zhang was extremely efficient. He just flipped through the books and assigned people to do the work every day. He was really impressed by Chu Qianli.

Boss Zhang praised: "This little girl is quite capable, but unfortunately she is stubborn. She likes to talk to you about doing more good deeds for no reason. You can't ask her about making money, but she is quite good at handling these things!"

The woman snorted coldly: "Why are you being stubborn? I think if you give her enough money, she can still help you with the calculation."

Boss Zhang: "You don't understand. I've met a lot of people in my business, and she's different from that guy..."

When Boss Zhang recalled the look Chu Qianli had given him, he couldn't help but shudder. That look was so cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Boss Zhang was exposed to numerology in his early years. He always looked for a fortune teller. The fortune teller was very accurate but he was a gambler. When he was not telling fortunes for others, he was always hanging around at the gambling table. Strangely enough, this person was good at fortune telling but not at gambling. He lost a lot of money.

Boss Zhang respected this person at first, firmly believing that he was a capable master, but after getting to know him, he felt that he was just that. The man had also talked about doing good deeds, but Boss Zhang ignored him. Isn't this just the nonsense of a gambler?

Boss Zhang once asked the other party: "You know how to calculate these, so why do you always lose money when gambling?"

"It turns out it is accurate, it turns out it is accurate, this is not..." The man hesitated for a long time, and finally waved his hands awkwardly, "Oh, I won't say it anymore, I won't gamble anymore, I won't gamble again!"

Although the fortune teller always says that he doesn't gamble anymore, he still hangs around the gambling table.

Boss Zhang initially listened to the man's advice, but gradually he started to pay him directly and even ridiculed him occasionally.

The fortune teller also told fortunes for other people in the area, and he invested all his earnings into the gambling table. Boss Zhang was the most generous spender, so the two of them never had any quarrels.

"You really can't do this. You always do the opposite of what I tell you. If you keep doing it over and over again, you won't be able to stop it..."

"Stop meddling in other people's business. Just make your money. Why do you mind so much?" Boss Zhang became the group's CEO. He still had a bad temper and even stopped being polite. "If you really have the talent, why haven't you established a business yet?"

The man's face turned blue. He tried to explain himself with his lips trembling, but he could only squeeze out one sentence: "You don't understand. Good fortune, bad luck, regret and misfortune are all caused by action."

"I don't understand? I think it's you who doesn't understand!"

Boss Zhang looked down on this man. He thought that if he were good at calculating, he would have been able to fly freely in the sky and fish in the sea. Why would he take money from other people?

He is now a famous entrepreneur in the south. If he learns numerology, he will become a famous entrepreneur nationwide.

This was the last conversation between the two. The fortune teller said that Boss Zhang didn't understand, but he didn't have the chance to explain again.

The fortune teller had always been in poor health, and he died of a heart attack at the gambling table.

Entrepreneurs love to engage in culture as soon as they have money. Boss Zhang later learned that the saying came from the Zhouyi Xichuan, which is a life philosophy that teaches people to pursue benefits and avoid harm. This one sentence says a lot of things, but not everyone can understand it.

Boss Zhang has visited many masters of metaphysics, and he also learned that Chinese numerology focuses on the mystery of "movement". If you want to predict anything, you must grasp the "movement". Once something moves, you can predict its consequences, and it is difficult to change its trajectory.

The Plum Blossom Book of Changes once explained this principle: In the prenatal period, there is an obsession that results in a hexagram, and in the postnatal period, when something touches something, there is a hexagram. This all depends on how one uses one's mind. If one is able to predict accurately and use it flexibly, then nothing can escape the number of events or things.

In the class, Tan Muxing saw the message sent by He Jianping. He glanced at Chu Qianli hesitantly and began to think about how to explain to her.

Chu Qianli was sorting out her tarot cards. She was intoxicated by the exquisite cards, and then she noticed her deskmate's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Jianping said the balance has arrived." Tan Muxing said stiffly, "Boss Zhang also sent me a photo of Xi Jinping in elementary school and insisted that Uncle Jianping show it to you, saying that he repented according to your wishes."

"It seems like he's quite respectful of me, and he wants to settle the score with me." Chu Qianli nodded thoughtfully, and then glanced at the subtle expression of his deskmate and said, "Don't show that expression. It's useful to know how to repent for anything. This is an inevitable law."

"But the most frightening thing is to say that you have made amends, but deep down you are unwilling to admit your mistakes."

According to He Jianping's idea, once Boss Zhang paid the final payment, the cooperation between the two parties would end.

Chu Qianli did not touch the money given by Boss Zhang. She went to He Shichen every day to cry about her poverty. When she had nothing to do, she would go to Tan Muxing's house to eat and drink, and she also watched variety shows with Qiu Qingkong.

Apart from the slow improvement in her grades, her campus life was very fulfilling. It was not through He Jianping that she learned about Boss Zhang again.

Qiu Qingkong loves to check Weibo during class breaks. She looked at the trending searches and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so scary. A boss in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai was killed in a factory explosion. The most outrageous thing is that he was the only one in the industry who was hit. His wife had an argument with him on the road, but she ran away and escaped..."

"It sounds like someone deliberately blew him up?" Qiu Qingkong, who has always been interested in such bizarre incidents, said, "The police have even launched a special investigation."

Qiu Qingkong turned the screen of her mobile phone towards the two of them. She loved sharing all kinds of information and always forced Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing to read it.

Tan Muxing was stunned when he saw the name of the group in the news. He subconsciously looked at Chu Qianli, and couldn't help but turned back to confirm, and said in surprise: "This is not..."

Chu Qianli said calmly: "It's not like someone is trying to blow him up. He's just blowing himself up."

Qiu Qingkong didn't know the truth of the matter. She lowered her head in confusion, "Suicide? That's impossible. He said that his business has been booming recently, and he went to the factory to monitor the progress. He usually never leaves the factory."

"It's weird to me. Why doesn't the big boss just stay in the office? Why does he have to go to the factory and mix things up?"

At the teahouse on the weekend, He Jianping called Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing. He had the same feelings as Qiu Qingkong and was deeply saddened by the unexpected death of Boss Zhang.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. He Jianping used to look down on the other person and called him "Mr. Zhang", but now he changed his name to "Old Zhang". He slapped his thigh and sighed, "If you ask me, Old Zhang is really confused. The little master said not to make money, but how come he couldn't sit still after a while?"

"He sent me a photo of Hope Primary School last time, and I really thought he was doing charity work, but who would have thought he would turn around and talk about business." He Jianping said helplessly, "In fact, I heard him mention it before. He said he encountered a life and death divination, so many people were reluctant to let him do it. I thought he had learned his lesson."

Tan Muxing looked hesitant: "He knew it was a life or death hexagram?"

He Jianping nodded: "Yes, of course I know, so I can't figure him out!"

"Because he thinks the matter is over." Chu Qianli said slowly, "Uncle He, it's normal that you don't understand him. You and he are not the same kind of people."

"I've said this before, sometimes it's useless to calculate. If you don't want to do it, the result won't change."

"That's right. You wrote it down to him clearly at the beginning, and reminded him again before leaving, but in the end it still turned out like this." He Jianping was afraid that Chu Qianli would feel upset, so he comforted him, "It's okay, your suggestions are all useful. At least the workers in his factory are not owed wages. He is the only one who is stubborn and always wants to make money..."

Although Boss Zhang is gone, Chu Qianli's calculation was correct.

Boss Zhang's group returned to normal, the employees of the company and the factory were not affected, and even the wife Boss Zhang later married escaped.

It is said that the daughter of Mr. Zhang's ex-wife has rushed to the company and is now trying to fight for the group's shares. Mr. Zhang used to be on guard against his new wife and wanted to wait until she got pregnant before bringing up the matter, but she died unexpectedly and the situation became chaotic.

In order to ask Chu Qianli to solve the problem, Boss Zhang directly emptied his family's foundation, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to make money. Real estate is the foundation. Many old Lai's shares are worthless after bankruptcy, but they can still flee overseas to live a luxurious life because they have the foundation.

He Jianping thought unkindly that Boss Zhang had simply taken care of his funeral affairs ahead of time, and his death did not affect too many people.

The deaths of other CEOs inevitably caused panic among the people, but Boss Zhang was on the verge of bankruptcy, but now he is back on track and is in a stable stage.

When the group went bankrupt, countless people lost their jobs and suffered, but the group just changed its leader and it seemed like no big deal.

"Uncle He, do you have any reliable channels?" Chu Qianli thought for a moment and suggested, "Can you help me find a charity organization? I want to donate money."

"Donate money? How much?" He Jianping suddenly realized and hurriedly advised, "Little Master, you don't have to donate. You calculated it correctly. He is confused himself, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"Whether it's related or not is not an emotional judgment." Chu Qianli shook his head, "I've paid off the previous ones, this is the last sum of money, and it's over after I donate it."

Boss Zhang once defrauded people of money under the guise of charity. Now he is returning the money, and the matter has come to an end.

He Jianping couldn't persuade Chu Qianli, so he said he would ask his friends and choose a trustworthy one.

Outside the teahouse, the sky was bright. Tan Muxing squinted his eyes in the sun. He felt a little bit of the heat. He saw Chu Qianli jumping around and smiled, "Is this the first time I see you working for free?"

Chu Qianli jumped down the stairs. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before confessing, "It's not in vain. I didn't earn money, but something else."

Tan Muxing: "I heard from Uncle Jianping that other people don't accept the life and death divination. Is there any reason for this?"

"Because life and death are very complicated causes and effects, we sometimes think someone deserves to die based on our emotions, but you don't actually know what will happen after they die." Chu Qianli explained, "This kind of thing is very troublesome. People who study numerology don't like to touch it, for fear of getting themselves into trouble."

"You said this matter has nothing to do with you, but once you have even a little bit of it, you can't explain it." Chu Qianli performed vividly, imitating the Internet emoticons and said leisurely, "You say it has nothing to do with you? Do you think we, the people's police, will believe your lies?"

Tan Muxing was not as relaxed as she was, and asked worriedly: "But didn't you answer it..."

Chu Qianli waved his hand calmly: "Oh, it doesn't matter what I said, it won't be affected at all."

"Why?"

Chu Qianli proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "Because I am the best in the world."

Tan Muxing was speechless and stared at her quietly.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Chu Qianli said hurriedly, "It's true. I'm not bragging to you. I call myself number one for a reason!"

Tan Muxing: "Do you think our police officers will believe your lies?"

Chu Qianli sighed: "Alas, you people cannot listen to the truth."

Tan Muxing thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't believe it. He confirmed again, "Are you really okay?"

Chu Qianli noticed that he was worried. She always felt that her deskmate was too worried, so she could only comfort him, "It's okay. His karma can't affect me. Even if this karma really happened to me, it would be like a drop of water thrown into the sea. Maybe it wouldn't even make a wave!"

"I can handle another thousand or ten thousand life and death hexagrams, no problem. Otherwise, why would I tell you that I am number one in the world?"

She was the type who didn't mind having too many lice or too much debt, and her karma came from her astrological talent. No one could solve the problem of her early death, which means that she was the best astrologist in the world.

This is just like playing a game, the principle is very simple, if a hero is too strong, he will be banned.

Tan Muxing reluctantly let himself go. He felt that this should be true. His deskmate always liked to mix truth with lies, and he had to work hard to distinguish the details.

Boss Zhang had come to the north to look for the master, and the news of his death spread throughout the circle. Many people who studied numerology did not know Chu Qianli's name, but they all knew that a new person had suddenly appeared in the capital.

When people in the circle gathered for tea on Qianshan Mountain, they couldn't help but talk about this matter.

"Someone actually lit a mine and it didn't explode. How brave of him?" Someone looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Master, could it be that the disciple you hid did it?"

The old Taoist laughed and said, "You are joking. Zaiyuan has nothing to do with this matter, and the poor Taoist did not hide him."

"Oh? It's not hidden? I thought the Taoist priest deliberately didn't let him go down the mountain, for fear that the uncultivated seedlings would be pinched off!"

"Why don't you call him out now? The weather is nice today, let's go and discuss it together!"

People who study metaphysics also practice magic, which they euphemistically call "Pan Dao". This sounds like a Taoist ritual, but in essence it is just a competition of magic.

A fight between villagers is called "dou huan", a fight between businessmen is called "shang zhan", and a fight between fortune tellers is called "pan dao".

The Taoist priest declined politely: "No way."

"Is the Taoist priest scared?"

The old Taoist said shamelessly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that Zaiyuan is young and has some bad habits of the young people in the mountains. He is a homebody and has social phobia. You can't force him to do anything about it, right?"

"You are still older and have a generation gap with the young people. Kids nowadays are very rebellious and hate being called out by their elders to perform. Do you never go home for Chinese New Year dinner? Do you think you can just come out when someone calls you?"
