Early in the morning, Chu Qianli woke up sleepily. She turned off the alarm on her mobile phone, lay on the bed to look at the star map, and finally got up slowly to wash.

On the desk, homework books and poker cards were spread out in a mess, and there were unopened tarot cards stacked on the side. Chu Qianli casually swept the items on the desk into her schoolbag, and then irresponsibly lifted the bag and shook it, finally completing her work of organizing.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Chu Qianli reached into her bag and fumbled for the poker cards. She counted them quickly and prepared to do her routine fortune-telling.

This has been her habit since childhood.

She has to ask the same question every day.

Chu Qianli no longer needed to use the card array to interpret the cards. She casually pulled out a few poker cards and turned them over one by one on the table. Before she finished reading them, she sighed, "What bad luck."

The answer to this question has not changed.

As the saying goes, everything depends on timing, but she doesn't know when she will get the chance.

At the dinner table, Chu Qianli and He Shichen sat opposite each other and ate breakfast. They were going to school later and welcoming a new Monday.

Chu Qianli stole a glance at He Shichen. While chewing her steamed bun, she reminded him, "Make money."

He Shichen ate in silence and politely.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Chu Qianli immediately began to chant: "Make money, make money, make money, make money..."

"Shut up, don't talk while eating or sleeping." He Shichen's expression suddenly became bad. His blood pressure was high early in the morning. He said angrily, "Besides, students' main job is to study. Don't always focus on short-term profits."

Chu Qianli: "My family is in the Internet business, you should get used to the 996 schedule now."

He Shichen: "..." Listen, are these human words?

He Shichen didn't want to pay attention to Chu Qianli now. He spent yesterday repairing his broken worldview. To be honest, he couldn't stand any stimulation at the moment. It was like ghosts and monsters appearing in reality. If there was no high-energy warning, any reader would have to be cautious.

He Shichen has no intention of thinking about Chu Qianli recently. He needs some time to digest the shocking information.

In the class, Chu Qianli enjoyed a rare peace. He Shichen treated her as an invisible person and ignored her behavior of sleeping in class for the time being.

Tan Muxing was quite surprised: "I always feel that your relationship with He Shichen has changed."

Chu Qianli: "I guess he is now like the Muggle who first saw magic in Harry Potter."

Tan Muxing smiled bitterly: "Is He Shichen also considered a Muggle?"

Qiu Qingkong came over excitedly. She greeted the classmate sitting in front of Chu Qianli, then took the other seat and sat at the same table with Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing. She said excitedly, "I'm here to become your disciple!"

Chu Qianli replied calmly: "Ah, I have seen your horoscope, you are indeed suitable to learn these."

Tan Muxing asked doubtfully, "Become my disciple?"

Qiu Qingkong was excited: "Yes, I have watched many videos on the Internet but they are not that accurate, so I want to find a teacher to learn from me."

Qiu Qingkong has always been interested in the occult, but there are a lot of different fortune tellers online. When she discovered Chu Qianli's amazing abilities, she immediately decided to formally become his apprentice.

Chu Qianli said slowly: "Although I promised to teach you, you don't have to call me teacher. I can only provide personal experience. Interpretation is a personal thing."

Every fortune teller has his or her own style of interpretation; in other words, fortune telling is personalized.

"Then you can be considered a teacher. What do you want to learn now?" Qiu Qingkong's eyes sparkled. She suddenly asked, "Oh, should I pay the tuition first? All online tutoring courses are charged..."

Chu Qianli: "I won't charge you tuition, but I need you to do something."

Qiu Qingkong: "What's the matter?"

Chu Qianli placed a piece of paper on the table and pushed it towards Qiu Qingkong: "Just help me spread the content on it."

Chu Qianli has analyzed Qiu Qingkong's horoscope and found that he has a strong ability to transmit information and can remain active for a long time.

Tan Muxing looked sideways and found a price list on the slip of paper. It listed the charges for astrological dice, tarot cards, poker, etc., and the validity period of each tool was marked on the back. At the bottom was a separate "蔔卦志蔔", which claimed to be able to answer any question and was the most expensive.

Tan Muxing understood that Chu Qianli did not charge Qiu Qingkong tuition, but arranged for him to post small advertisements.

Qiu Qingkong took the note, read it, and suddenly realized, "I understand. The teacher wants to promote the business."

Tan Muxing looked at Chu Qianli and commented objectively: "It's quite appropriate for you to let her do this."

"Yes, I saw from her horoscope that she has good relationships with people and a strong ability to spread information, so..." Chu Qianli suddenly came to her senses. She looked at her deskmate in surprise and asked in a daze, "Could it be that you also know astrology?"

Otherwise, how could he make such an evaluation?

Tan Muxing shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do it."

Chu Qianli was confused: "Then how do you know she is suitable?"

Qiu Qingkong raised his hand and said, "Teacher, my family is in the media business, and all my classmates know about it."

Tan Muxing added good-naturedly: "One of the largest media companies in the country. You can tell that without astrology."

Chu Qianli: “!!?”

Tan Muxing looked at his deskmate's shocked expression and smiled helplessly, "It seems that what you said last time was right. Using astrology is almost becoming an instinct. Sometimes there are other methods."

Chu Qianli said that she studied Marxism-Leninism to escape her instincts, and Tan Muxing now understood her habitual thinking.

"The content is too plain. It doesn't have the gimmicks that are found online. Nowadays, online articles have to have messy names to attract readers." Qiu Qingkong stroked his chin while making plans. "Let me help you revise it. It's fine as long as the basic information is retained."

Chu Qianli said decisively: "Very good, it's decided to be you, Pikachu!"

Tan Muxing: "You will be fined for using puns."

The three of them gathered together to discuss the matter. Qiu Qingkong was the copywriter, Tan Muxing was the art designer, and Chu Qianli was the client.

"According to the teacher's ability to occupy the spoils, the price should also be adjusted..." Qiu Qingkong wanted to use a pen to add zeros after the number, but found that the pen was held by Chu Qianli, and he looked up in surprise.

Chu Qianli stopped him and said, "Don't change the price."

"Why?"

"That's right, this can be considered your introductory course." Chu Qianli paused for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Although many fortune tellers make money through astrology and tarot, and enjoy the fame and status brought by the stars, I don't really like this feeling..."

"It's not that it's bad to make money with the stars, but those who come to ask the stars are basically desperate. Many people would never believe in the stars unless they have suffered a great setback. They only pin their hopes on them when they are in extreme pain."

Chu Qianli has received many people who came for their first astrology reading. Most of them were trapped in suffocating despair. If they were living a happy life, they would rarely want to peek into their fate.

Many people are lost in the long dark night, and only then do they hope to see the stars in the night sky.

Even so, they may be suspicious of squatters and may be deceived by them.

Chu Qianli fiddled with the astrology dice on the table, listening to their crisp sounds, and whispered, "The powerful will use the stars to consolidate their own status, but those who really need the stars may never be able to contact them in their lifetime. This is the reality from ancient times to the present, and perhaps it has violated the spirit of astrology."

The top fortune tellers always work for successful people in the secular sense, but these people are not usually the ones who need the power of the stars.

Tan Muxing caught her rare moment of surprise and asked tentatively, "Astrological spirit?"

"Well, have you ever watched Harry Potter? We have been Muggles who cannot do magic all our lives, but we are still moved by stories about magic. I think this is the spirit of astrology."

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "It's possible that I won't be able to tell fortunes accurately in my lifetime, but I will still be shocked by the philosophy of the stars and realize that my afterlife is meaningful. There are some things that only I can do."

The birth chart reveals each person's life theme, which is unique and irreplaceable.

Under the vast starry sky, everyone is as small as dust, but everyone still wants to use the starlight to become a dancing dust.

"Of course, this is just my opinion. There are many people who oppose me." Chu Qianli sighed and looked at Qiu Qingkong, "So I don't object to you making a lot of money from the stars. I also told you in advance that you don't have to call me teacher."

Qiu Qingkong was stunned: "Why would they oppose you? I think you said it very well."

"It's not normal to be opposed. Scientists often quarrel with each other." Chu Qianli even forgot how many people criticized him. Anyway, there were too many to count, like the stars in the sky.

She counted on her fingers numbly: "Besides, there are so many schools of fortune-telling. Astrology alone is divided into several branches. The ancient Eastern astrology of Guo Lao Xing Zong and the Seven Stars and Four Remainders are collectively called fortune-telling by laymen. Western astrology is divided into classical astrology and modern astrology. The ancient astrology school and the modern astrology school can quarrel with each other. There is also atheism in Western astrology, which can also cause quarrels..."

Chu Qianli sometimes feels that she is not an astrologer, but actually a star warrior, fighting with other people who study the stars every day.

Tan Muxing asked curiously, "Which sect do you belong to?"

Chu Qianli said frankly: "I have learned a lot and have mastered it. I am a 'key point is to be quarreled with' type of person."

Tan Muxing: "..."

Tan Muxing imagined her calling herself a Marxist in front of people who were into metaphysics, and realized that it was indeed enough for her to drink a pot of it without causing public outrage.

Qiu Qingkong: "So the teacher doesn't like to make money from astrology?"

Chu Qianli: "That's not the case. We charge more from rich people and less from poor people, and work hard to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor."

Qiu Qingkong nodded thoughtfully. She reached out to add a zero to the price: "Then we should change the price."

Chu Qianli's eyes widened in surprise: "Why?"

Qiu Qingkong: "Because it's really too low, just the price of two cups of milk tea."

Chu Qianli was dumbfounded: "Is milk tea so expensive for you city people!?"

Tan Muxing agreed, "The original price is indeed not expensive for the students in the class. Of course, our school is quite special."

Qiu Qingkong agreed: "The teacher has no idea about the material world."

Chu Qianli retreated tactically. She asked incredulously, "How do you know that I ignore the material world? You haven't seen my astrolabe?"

Tan Muxing grumbled quietly: "...Because many things can be known without astrology."

Tan Muxing found that Chu Qianli lacked common sense in life. She was indeed only good at things related to stars. She made her desk messy every day and slept through the classes she was not interested in.

She probably had no idea how rich people in her class were, nor did she understand the expenses of food, clothing, and luxury watches and cars.

For example, the pen that Qiu Qingkong is holding now is very valuable, but in Chu Qianli's opinion, it is probably just an ordinary pen.

Qiu Qingkong and Tan Muxing discussed it and they both agreed on the price for Chu Qianli's share.

Chu Qianli looked at the new price in panic. She re-recognized her environment and tried hard not to sob out loud: "Wow, evil capitalism, one day all mankind will be liberated..."

She knew that people in the school should be rich, but her imagination of wealth was too poor and she had not yet adjusted to the prices in the village.

Tan Muxing used his mobile phone to show the finished product to Party A, and said soothingly, "Yes, yes, we will all be freed. Now let's take a look at the layout?"

What Chu Qianli gave was a scribbled note, the words were touched up by Qiu Qingkong and typeset by Tan Muxing, and now it has become an exquisite electronic picture.

Chu Qianli looked at the star-moon pattern with words and exclaimed, "How beautiful! Did you just draw it? Are you also good at design?"

Tan Muxing said shyly: "Well, I draw clothes occasionally, and this is similar."

Chu Qianli: "That's amazing! Do you want to be a fashion designer in the future?"

Tan Muxing was at a loss for words: "Ah, this..."

Qiu Qingkong raised his hand and said, "Teacher, his family owns several clothing brands. I don't think it's his turn to design."

Qiu Qingkong's family, like the He family, has only prospered rapidly in recent years, and is engaged in media, Internet, finance and other businesses.

Tan Muxing's family is engaged in industry. His grandfather's grandfather has been rich, and the family connections are quite extensive, and the clothing industry is just one of them.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qianli stared at his deskmate in silence, and suddenly realized that he was the one who was innocent.

Tan Muxing looked back at Chu Qianli awkwardly. He blushed for his class and bowed his head and said weakly, "I'm sorry."

It was he who betrayed the people.

We can only apologize to the Marxists.

Chu Qianli: “…” I didn’t expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also betray the revolution!

As an inexperienced astrologer, Chu Qianli suffered a double blow from Qiu Qingkong and Tan Muxing. Now she has no psychological burden and can charge her classmates without guilt.

She felt that it was urgent to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and that she must contribute something to lowering the country's Gini coefficient.
