Shi Zhuoqu couldn't quite figure out Chu Qianli. She seemed to be smiling and idle, always hanging around her companions. However, she could easily be found as an expert work permit, and no one knew her true level of numerology.

Shi Zhuoqu laughed: "This is not good."

Chu Qianli was quite enthusiastic: "Why not? Aren't you single?"

Shi Zhuoqu: “…Not really.”

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "That's it, let's just chat. What did you study abroad? What are your hobbies? Do you work in an auction organization every day?"

Shi Zhuoqu declined: "I'm not in the capital for work."

The subtitle is that it is impossible to accept a matchmaker's manipulation.

"Which city is that in? The auction houses should all be in first-tier cities. There seems to be a settlement policy for those who return from overseas studies?"

"……Um."

Shi Zhuoqu took the initiative to ask about Chu Qianli and the Tan Muxing unit. He originally wanted to find out the details of the two, but he didn't expect to poke a hornet's nest directly. He was bombarded with questions by Chu Qianli. The questions were so dense that he couldn't breathe.

She chatted happily about everything under the sun.

Tan Muxing bowed awkwardly. He was like a parent taking care of a child, silently apologizing for the kid's talkativeness, making it impossible for Shi Zhuoqu to lose his temper.

Shi Zhuoqu did not dare to reply bluntly, so he had to find an excuse to leave: "I'm going to see Master Mei."

Tan Muxing watched Shi Zhuoqu walk away. After making sure that no one else was around, he asked, "What happened to this guy?"

Chu Qianli wouldn't pester people with questions for no reason. There must be a reason.

Chu Qianli touched his chin and thought: "I can't explain it. It feels strange. I don't think I have seen him before, but I just want to confirm his name."

"I've told you before, sometimes I can't tell fortunes, but the surrounding information is pouring in, and I can't control it at all." Chu Qianli pointed her finger at her head and explained, "Just like Sister Ru Z has premonitions, some people have a vague feeling of déjà vu when they see a scene they have seen before."

Some people call it the external inspiration of fortune-telling. The scientific explanation is the ability to accurately capture key information from the outside world. A good fortune-teller is like having an instinct, and may even have a conditioned reflex reaction.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, but knowing the name and place of work is a good idea." Chu Qianli looked down at the business card, "But this is the first time I've seen someone working in an auction organization."

Shi Zhuoqu should be considered a rich kid, but it is strange that he does not run or start a business but works in an auction organization.

Tan Muxing took the business card from her hand. He saw the name of the auction house and exclaimed, "It's Qiao Jiade."

Chu Qianli was confused: "What is that?"

Tan Muxing patiently explained: "It is a world-famous auction company that existed before World War II. They have offices in dozens of countries around the world and hold many auctions regularly every year. I remember that it should be ranked among the top three in the world."

"I don't even know the top three in the world." Chu Qianli was confused and said with emotion, "Xingxing, you always talk about topics that the proletariat can't understand."

When talking about Twilight Star, some obscure knowledge often emerges, especially in terms of rare jewelry and expensive artworks.

"No, it just happened to be Qiao Jiade's auction, and my family and I went there..." Tan Muxing blushed, "and Qiao Jiade is a little special, so I remember it more clearly."

Chu Qianli thought about her friend's family and asked bluntly, "Is it possible that the items sold at this auction are particularly expensive?"

"That's fine," Tan Muxing nodded. "Or the variety of items on sale is more complete. Qiao Jiade Auction House is backed by a huge financial group with a wide range of connections, so there are a lot of things."

"Consortium? Is it richer than your family?"

Tan Muxing smiled bitterly: "Of course, our family is okay, let alone a consortium. Consortiums are all world-class."

Chu Qianli: “?”

Chu Qianli had a subtle expression and said sarcastically, "Look into my eyes and say 'it's okay' again?"

Tan Muxing held up his business card and pointed to the logo on the lower right corner, saying awkwardly, "But compared to this, it's really nothing."

Shi Zhuoqu's business card not only has the trademark of Qiaojiade Auction Company, but also the logo of the family conglomerate behind it. A snake coils around an apple, forming a winding shape and leaving a pale gold mark.

According to Tan Muxing, this is the symbol of the Mondsen family. To borrow the exaggerated description in the novel, it really is the family that controls the lifeline of the world economy and even has close ties with banks and companies in many countries.

Of course, information about the Mondsen family members is rarely disclosed, but several of them who have been exposed in the past have left their mark on the world's richest list.

The Mondsen family still owns a large amount of land and real estate overseas, and may even be involved in the infrastructure of some small countries, which is unimaginable in China.

Tan Muxing: "This kind of family conglomerate is involved in too many businesses. It is impossible for our country to exist."

No matter how rich the negotiators are, they are still under management and cannot interfere in industries that shake the foundation of the country. They are fundamentally different from the Mondsen family conglomerate.

In a sense, the Monderson Group dominates some countries and its influence extends across the globe.

"Socialism is still the best!" Chu Qianli said with a smile, "Stars should also serve the people and build railways."

Tan Muxing: "...You have to practice too."

The two were chatting when Mei Ru Z came back after paying the final payment and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? It seems so lively."

Chu Qianli put away the business card. She never mentioned the matter of the red thread and replied obediently, "I just learned some useless knowledge in a socialist country."

Mei Ru Z didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. She was in a good mood now and said generously, "We just paid the bill. Let's have a nice dinner tonight. I'll treat you!"

"After all, this is my first time hiring a friend, so I have to go through the process." Meiru Z said happily, "My luck seems to have changed, and I'm doing well now."

The two of them helped Meiru Z out of trouble. Now that the contract is completed and they don't have to fly out of town, it is indeed worth celebrating.

Mei Ru Z initially treated Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing as children, but now she really wants to make friends with them, and she did not force a deadline for the return of the Sanqing Bell.

During dinner, Meiru Z ordered dishes while generously saying, "This is a family heirloom. I don't usually use it. Just keep it carefully and return it after you're done researching."

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing thanked him immediately and said they would share their findings together.

In the hotel, after Shi Zhuoqu dealt with Shi Tuyi and others, he came to a quiet corner where no one was and reported his experience.

"Are you specifically asking about your Chinese name? And you want to know the characters in it?"

"Yes, but I still told them, mainly because they had contact with my family, and it was impossible to keep their names secret." Shi Zhuoqu added, "It is said that one of them is a researcher of Ziwei Doushu."

Shi Zhuoqu knew how powerful the masters of numerology were, and that one's birth date and time should not be disclosed to others casually, especially the most important time and minute.

"Generally speaking, it's useless to study Ziweiguang and know its name, unless you reveal other information."

"…She asked a lot of questions. I'm not sure now."

Chu Qianli bombarded Shi Zhuoqu with questions. He didn't know which ones were included in the divination and which ones were not, so he was naturally worried. He didn't know whether the other party was testing him intentionally or was just naturally talkative and chatty.

"It doesn't matter. It's enough to know that Meiru Z has one. It's just a matter of how much it costs. Three have been found overseas. We have taken back two. The remaining one is in the hands of a British occult researcher, who is not willing to sell it for the time being."

"But he is really good. I discussed with him not long ago and he can be involved. There are more experts in China, and there must be some who are not short of money. If it is really not possible, we can let them join. After all, it is useless to just find seven things, we also need to find people who can use them."

"There should be more in mainland China. Since they know your name, don't talk to Meiru Z any more. Go back to the auction house in City A to find out the whereabouts of the remaining pieces. I have asked someone to send you the information about the recovered collections. You can use it as a reference."

Shi Zhuoqu whispered, "Okay, I'm sorry, it was my negligence this time and I let you down."

"Don't blame yourself. These things all originated from ancient civilizations. China has a long history, so it's normal for there to be hidden talents."

After Shi Zhuoqu finished his report, he opened his mailbox to check the data and clicked on the email named New Era. The email was divided into two parts, with a total of four collections. The first two were collected collections, and the last two were marked with the owners. One was a red crystal pendant owned by a British occult researcher, and the other was a three-purity bell owned by Meiru Z.

Each piece of the collection has nothing to do with the age, country and background culture. The only common point is the special texture of the red gemstone. Georges Auction House collected information from many sources and named it the New Era Series. It is estimated that the whole set consists of seven pieces.

Shi Zhuoqu has been working at the overseas headquarters of Qiaojiade. His main purpose of returning to China is to look for New Era collections, and perhaps he will also participate in subsequent New Era projects.

In the office building, Chu Qianli led a busy and stable life. She had not been sent on a business trip recently and was mainly helping to process various documents in the office.

She and Tan Muxing originally thought that they could stay in school for two more days after returning to Beijing, but they did not expect that new work would come flooding in, and other members of the expert group fed back a lot of information from other places.

The expert team was formed by Pan Yicheng. In addition to Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing, there were other people who came through the religious association. Everyone was scattered along the project construction line, collecting detailed data on the spot, and then summarizing it for the team to discuss together.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing worked here and also got to know many people from other sects through the project, including Taoists and monks, all of whom came here to serve as consultants.

Chu Qianli's daily routine lately consists of studying, working, researching red crystal props, and bullying in the workplace (?).

In the office, Tan Muxing was binding documents honestly, welcoming another chaotic day.

After a while, screams rang out from the house, followed by Yu Ge's complaining voice: "Tan Muxing, are you still going to care? Are you just going to let her win like this every day!?"

Tan Muxing was suddenly called out, and said, "Brother Yu, I've already told you not to gamble with her..."

Yu Ge is also a member of the expert team. He is a certified Taoist priest of the Zhengyi School, but he never wears a Taoist robe, always in cool and trendy clothes. When he first came, he was a little arrogant, relying on his ability to tell fortunes and never taking the high school students into consideration, which made him look a little bit arrogant.

But what Chu Qianli hates most in his life is people who are more pretentious than himself!

They have already pretended, so she has nothing to pretend, right?

Not long after, Chu Qianli used fortune-telling to knock Yu Ge to the ground. She was not good at other things, but she was the best at persecuting her colleagues. She directly used fortune-telling to beat Yu Ge!

The two of them have been betting on fortune-telling every day recently, and the loser either has to treat the loser to a meal or give out a red envelope.

Yu Ge had never won a game so far. Today he finally figured it out and said in astonishment, "No, this is not right. If this goes on, I will have to pay for the project. No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense..."

Seeing her opponent trying to run away, Chu Qianli hurriedly chased after him, provoking him: "You can't stand losing, right? Are you trying to default on your debt?"

"I can't afford to lose, I just can't afford to lose..." Yu Ge was desperate. He dodged behind Tan Muxing and said unhappily, "Tan Muxing, look at her, look at her!"

Tan Muxing saw two people circling around him and asked in confusion, "...What are you looking at?"

Yu Ge complained: "You just watched her bully her colleagues? You two are a family, why don't you care about her?!"

"Ah, this..." Tan Muxing blushed and said in a stiff voice, "...it seems that this is not my responsibility."

Tan Muxing didn't know where Yu Ge's misunderstanding came from, and it seemed that he believed that taking care of Chu Qianli was his job.

"Brother Yu, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet." When Chu Qianli heard Yu Ge's complaint, she put her hands on her hips and said triumphantly, "There are three people in this room, and we are one family. You are the only one who can bully me!"

If she didn't have anyone to help her in the house, she wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.

Tan Muxing: “…” What a villain’s speech!
