The travel notes left by Chu Yilie brought some sequelae, that is, Chu Qianli learned to call people by their nicknames. She found the wonders of the new name and kept repeating it for several days, which made Tan Muxing very disturbed.

Tan Muxing didn't understand her obsession with the nickname. At first, his face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed, but later he was calm and not startled when she called him that. He even responded reflexively.

Occasionally, the two of them would lower their heads to do their homework, and the game would suddenly begin.

Chu Qianli had a headache looking at the math function. She held her chin and looked around. When she saw her deskmate next to her, she said inexplicably, "Stars."

"What?" Tan Muxing raised his head subconsciously.

Chu Qianli tilted her head and looked at him for a moment, then she lowered her head and continued to do the questions, leaving Tan Muxing confused.

Not long after, Chu Qianli put down his pen and said, "Stars."

"What's wrong?" Tan Muxing asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, just calling you, hehe."

“…”

Chu Qianli used to look at the stars when she had something to do, but now she looks at the stars even when she has nothing to do. It seems that she has found new interest.

Tan Muxing seriously suspected that she enjoyed playing with other people's emotions, because he would be flustered when being called by a nickname in public, so she became more and more intense and enjoyed it, until he developed antibodies to the nickname. Now he heard Xingxing assume that she was calling him.

The new title trend even spread to the five-member Cardcaptor team.

The time spent in school by senior high school students was infinitely extended. Not only did they need to attend classes and review during the day, but they also had to study in groups at night, so they were basically not allowed to go home until very late. Except for Qiu Qingkong, the rest of them did not choose to go abroad, and they gathered together to blast their homework.

Qiu Qingkong was holding a TOEFL vocabulary book, and she sat beside him to memorize the words. When she heard Tan Muxing calling her that, she protested, "Teacher, I don't even get this treatment. You can just call me Xiaoke."

Chu Qianli probed: "Qingqing?"

Qiu Qingkong was embarrassed on the spot: "So unsophisticated."

"Empty?"

Qiu Qingkong froze, her scalp tingling, and she complained, "Forget it, I take it back. Don't call me that. It's like Tang Seng calling Sun Wukong."

Tan Muxing: "...so I ask you not to be jealous."

He Shichen lowered his head and flipped through the book. Hearing that the others were distracted again, he reminded them calmly, "Study on your own and don't chat."

Qi Yan pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "I don't have this treatment either, why don't you call me Yanyan?"

"Ah, this..." Chu Qianli's eyes drifted away, and hesitantly said, "Does it feel dangerous for you to be called like this?"

It would be fine for Chu Qianli to call Tan Muxing or Qiu Qingkong by their nicknames, but when she calls Qi Yan like that, it always feels like something might go wrong in the next second, and she might get tricked by the strong female protagonist.

Qi Yan seemed to be thinking about something. She pointed at He Shichen and asked, "What if we call him Chenchen?"

Chu Qianli: "So disgusting."

He Shichen: "Thank you. I am really disgusted by you."

Tan Muxing: "..."

Chu Qianli and He Shichen rarely reached a consensus. They both refused such awkward titles and at this moment they were like real siblings.

During school, Chu Qianli also studied the Red Crystal Tarot and the compass. Based on the information in her grandfather's travel notes, she gradually understood the founder of Haomen and read a lot of historical materials of the Ming Dynasty. Because the compass is an antique of the Ming Dynasty, it is crucial to understand the background of the era.

"Xingxing, are there any major events in the Ming Dynasty?" Chu Qianli added, "Global? Worldwide?"

Tan Muxing asked hesitantly, "Zheng He went to the West?"

"That makes sense. I'll look up historical events in other countries at that time."

"Are you working on the new comprehensive test?"

"No, I'm doing the comprehensive test that Grandpa and Grandmaster assigned me."

"...This sounds like a ghost story." Tan Muxing saw her concentrating on her studies and asked, "It seems like you have been studying travel notes recently?"

Chu Qianli nodded: "Yes, from my prediction, I think I will have other things to do in a while, and I don't think I will have the energy to do these things."

Chu Qianli only knew that old friends would visit her in the future, but she was not sure what it was about, so she could only seize the time to study and do metaphysical research.

Tan Muxing was puzzled when he heard this, but fortunately he was used to his deskmate's deductions and was not surprised by this.

Not long after, an old friend really came over, and He Jianping asked Mu Xing and Chu Qianli to meet in a teahouse.

Tan Muxing originally used the excuse that he was in his third year of high school as an excuse to avoid the call, but He Jianping was particularly persistent this time. He was unwilling to explain the situation over the phone and insisted on meeting to discuss it in detail.

In the teahouse, the three of them met again after a long time and exchanged pleasantries. He Jianping looked at Mu Xing in surprise and asked, "Mu Xing, you seem to have lost some weight, but the little master hasn't changed."

Tan Muxing waved his hands hastily: "No, no."

"Is this because you are tired from senior year of high school? Are you studying too hard?"

Chu Qianli: "That's right, Uncle He, do you have any friends who run a school? Otherwise, ask them to recruit me. I really can't stand the hardship of studying like this."

He Jianping laughed: "Yes, there are, but you don't look down on that kind of school. Don't you all want to go to a good university?"

The three of them sat down and talked about recent events before starting to talk about business.

He Jianping asked someone to bring snacks and fruits. While he was making tea for the two of them, he said, "It's like this. I have always been interested in Zhouyi and have consulted many masters for divination. Then someone asked me to ask..."

The real masters in the country are basically reclusive experts. They will not advertise themselves on the Internet and only accept recommendations from their peers or commissions from acquaintances to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Chu Qianli understood and said familiarly, "Uncle He, what's the matter?"

"This time it's a little different. I don't know the details yet. There's a screening process there, and they're not just asking me to find a master..." He Jianping said helplessly, "I know that when you consult a master, it's usually one-on-one. I've consulted several in a row and still can't find the right one. That's why I said I'd meet with the young master to talk it over."

Tan Muxing was stunned: "How many?"

"Yes, it is said that they wanted to contact Qianshan at first, but Qianmen has not been interested in taking on big things in the past two years. Now they are looking for a few in the south and a few in the north, and they have to screen them all."

Chu Qianli was shocked: "Without explaining the situation clearly, they are still conducting a screening. What a grand ceremony!"

"That's true..." He Jianping explained with difficulty, "The main reason is that the salary is high, so I'm probably cautious."

"How high?"

He Jianping opened his palm and stretched out five fingers.

Chu Qianli raised her eyebrows: "It's just 50 million..."

"Five hundred million," He Jianping corrected. "And it's not a bad thing. It's absolutely very clean. The other party said it was a project to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."

There are taboos in this industry, and some money cannot be wasted, such as Boss Zhang's life and death divination. If it is a good thing with generous remuneration and good deeds, then it is definitely a job that is hard to come by, no wonder the other party dared to say that they would screen the master.

Chu Qianli's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in shock, "Is this true? How much tax do I have to pay?"

Tan Muxing: "If it is based on personal salary, the tax may be NT$220 million."

Chu Qianli covered her chest, took a deep breath, and trembled, "Oh my God, I haven't even earned this money yet, but I'm already starting to feel bad about the tax."

He Jianping: "...You are very sensitive about taxes now?"

Chu Qianli had just said that the other party was extremely ostentatious, but she changed her tune immediately after hearing about the remuneration and said firmly: "If they can afford this amount of money, then it is normal for them to be cautious. They are indeed qualified to be selected as a master."

"No, no, no, I'm not a master from now on. I'm just a fortune teller who's in urgent need of work. Let them make their requests to me directly. I'll solve the employment problem for the children!"

Tan Muxing reminded quietly: "You are already in the third year of high school..."

Chu Qianli said righteously: "Not everyone is as versatile as you. If you put Peking University, Tsinghua University and 500 million in front of others, I believe most people will choose 500 million."

Tan Muxing: "I don't have any talent."

Chu Qianli: "I mean the cai with the bei character next to it and the yi with the ren character next to it. A lot of cai, a lot of yi."

“…”

He Jianping overheard the two chatting. He noticed that Chu Qianli did not object to this matter, so he tried to test her: "No matter what the result is, I will register for the Little Master first. The subsequent interviews will be handled there. Let's take it one step at a time."

Chu Qianli was eager to express gratitude: "Okay, okay, thank you Uncle He."

"No problem, no problem. I'm just pulling strings and building bridges. It all depends on your own strength." He Jianping asked, "By the way, do you have resumes? I have to hand one over there."

Chu Qianli: “?”

Chu Qianli has been in the martial arts world for a long time, and this is the first time she has been asked for her resume. She was surprised and asked, "You still want this?"

Tan Muxing sighed: "Uncle Jianping, we are still high school students."

He Jianping slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Ah, the little master's calculations are too accurate. I forgot that she has never worked. Then I have to prepare a copy recently. The main thing is that they need it. They want to know what kind of divination the little master is proficient in, what projects she has done in the past, her work experience, her teachers, etc...."

Chu Qianli was stunned: "So strict?"

Tan Muxing: "This sounds like a job application."

"It's really similar to applying for a job, maybe even stricter than the company. I heard they said it would be best to have experience in civil engineering. And is the young master a party member? It is said that party members are preferred."

Chu Qianli held his forehead with a headache: "High school party members are very rare."

Tan Muxing complained: "No, it's not a problem of high school party members. To find a master, you still need to be a party member. Aren't you making things difficult for people?"

How is this different from requiring fresh graduates to have three years of work experience?

"Look at it in a positive way. Although we are not members of the party, we have an advantage in faith over the Taoists!" Chu Qianli then lowered his head and said distressedly, "Wait, the master is also a problem. I can't fill in the master's door..."

Although Chu Qianli was holding the leader's compass, she was not sure whether she was a member of the Hao Clan, mainly because her grandfather did not say whether he was a member of the Hao Clan.

He Jianping made a plan: "You don't have to just write a little master resume, you can do a group resume. If that doesn't work, fill in Muxing's. His family has some connection with Qianshan. They originally wanted to find the Qian Sect, so we should cater to their preferences."

Chu Qianli was surprised and asked, "Is this possible?"

Tan Muxing looked very strange: "...but I don't believe in this at all? I can't calculate it either?"

"Hey, you don't need to worry about these things on your resume. Just write down what's relevant. It's fine as long as it looks impressive!"

He Jianping is indeed an old hand. He slapped his thigh and said without thinking: "You have lived at the foot of Qianshan Mountain since you were a child. You have a deep understanding of the Qianmen organization structure and have been influenced by these Taoists. You are good at communicating with fortune-tellers. You are hardworking and have strong stress resistance. This is not just a random guess..."

Tan Muxing: “?”

A graduate with no experience in big factories is forced to stick to big factories, and a graduate with no experience in metaphysics is forced to stick to Qianmen?
