Chapter 28
Rong Jing also stretched out his slender white fingers to poke the statue's forehead. The more he looked at it, the more disgusted he felt.
It's really embarrassing to tell others that we worship such an ugly statue.
Unlike their Xuantian Temple, the statues of the ancestors are all carved with the most handsome images.
When Rong Jing was a child, he followed Taoist Taixu. Every day when he went to the temple to perform rituals, he would look up and see the heroic figure of the master, which made him feel so happy.
It can even soothe his bad temper caused by Grandpa Taixu's mention of it early in the morning.
After finding a piece of paper to cover the face of the ugly statue, Rong Jing still felt it was an eyesore, so he simply asked Mo Jingtong for a garbage bag, swept the statue into the garbage bag, and then stuffed it into a corner aside, waiting to deal with it after get off work tonight.
After watching his series of actions, Yuan Siyu, who is also a face lover, expressed great satisfaction.
"Sister Yuan, according to that scumbag, did everyone in their scam class invite this ugly thing back home?"
Yuan Siyu was a little surprised that Rong Jing grasped the key point at once, and nodded repeatedly.
This wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, so she naturally had no need to hide it, so she said directly, "That's exactly what happened. He said that if we don't bring back a statue, we won't be allowed to graduate. Now that I think about it, this statue is a magical instrument, the key to protecting them from scams. If we don't bring it back, wouldn't this whole training program be exposed?"
"But unfortunately, the guy who runs the course is quite anti-detection and teaches the course individually online. We checked his account and found that it was registered using someone else's information."
Yuan Siyu shrugged and concluded, "It's obvious that he's a repeat offender."
Rong Jing nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I made an appointment with Liu Liu to go shopping, and I stopped by here just to tell you about the situation with that damn scumbag. Now that I'm done, I'm leaving first."
Rong Jing waved to her obediently: "Sister Yuan, have fun."
…
After Yuan Siyu left, Rong Jing met a somewhat special guest.
After the customer pretended to ask him for a fortune-telling, he asked him mysteriously, "Master Rong, have you noticed that the live streamers who are riding on your popularity have been making a lot of money recently? So... are you interested in signing a company and starting a live stream?"
Before, if the other party said that live streaming could make you a lot of money, Rong Jing would rush in.
But after experiencing the situation where the entire Changhua Street was blocked two days ago, Rong Jing now wanted to reduce the number of customers who came to him for fortune-telling as much as possible, so when faced with the other party's deception, he shook his head decisively.
The other party got anxious when he heard this: "Hey, Master, think about it again. Signing a contract with our company is great. Our company's benefits are superb, and the commission is definitely higher than other companies. Besides, you see, there are people coming and going here, and it's very sunny. If you sign a contract with our company, you can directly go out to tell fortunes by live streaming at home. It's very cost-effective."
"Hey, Master Rong doesn't want to see it, doesn't he?" Song Qing, dressed in a black suit, walked over from the end of the street and interrupted the man's nonsense.
Seeing him like this, the man thought Song Qing was also from an MCN agency and was here specifically to snatch people from him. So he raised his chin and asked with a sneer, "Why, snatching people? Who are you from? How dare you snatch people from Yicheng?"
Song Qing: “……?”
He also sneered: "When did she become your Yicheng's? Have you asked our Mr. Xie... our Xie family's opinion?"
man:"……?"
The words "Xie's" were incredibly loaded, and all the words the man had been trying to organize were stuck in the middle of it. He swallowed hard, and asked uncertainly, "Which Xie's?"
Song Qing sneered again: "What do you think?"
man:"……"
To be honest, the man didn't know Song Qing, so he didn't know if what Song Qing said was true. But when it came to things involving the Xie family, it was better to be careful. I didn't think anyone would be so bold as to use the Xie family as a raft.
After all, Rong Jing is now quite famous, and if he tries to bluff people, he will be exposed immediately.
After watching the man leave with a look of regret on his face, Rong Jing asked Song Qing curiously, "Assistant Song, why are you here now?"
It's only around four o'clock in the afternoon, and today is not a holiday. Logically, Song Qing should be working in the Xie Building.
"I have a job I'd like to ask if you'd take it." Song Qing blinked at Rong Jing. "More than half an hour ago, Chen Rong called Xiao Cheng and said that one of their senior executives at Jiang's seems to have been in trouble lately. No matter what he does, he's having terrible luck."
The specific manifestations of bad luck include but are not limited to:
I was walking on the street and was hit by a billboard, which caused a concussion. I was driving and inexplicably stepped on the accelerator, which broke the railing of the stone bridge and sent me flying into the moat. I missed a step on the stairs and broke my leg. I took the elevator and it broke down, so I was trapped in the narrow space with no water or air conditioning for two whole hours and almost died.
Rong Jing was stunned by what he heard, and Mo Jingtong was also stunned. He opened his mouth and asked unconsciously, "Is this person still alive?"
Song Qing's mouth twitched slightly.
It seems that everyone's first reaction after hearing about this executive's deeds is similar.
He said: "You can say he was unlucky, but he encountered so many things that ordinary people would hardly encounter in their lifetime. You can also say he was lucky, because these things that could cause accidental death at any one time didn't take his life."
Song Qing shrugged and said, "Chen Rong said that he is currently receiving treatment in the hospital, and this hospital is a private hospital under the Xie family."
Song Qing's visit to Rong Jing was also related to the other party's hospitalization.
He was really afraid that the other person's bad luck would be brought to the hospital.
What if an accident like an elevator failure happens again and there happens to be a patient waiting for emergency treatment in the elevator?
"Then I'll go and take a look." Rong Jing said as he looked at the stall. There happened to be fewer people coming in at this moment, so he simply put the tortoise shell and copper coins into his backpack, then turned over the sign of 'Five Hundred One Divination' to reveal 'Temporarily Closed' on the back, and left with Song Qing.
The black Maybach was speeding on the road and soon arrived at Xie's hospital.
Xie's Hospital occupies the largest area in the entire Yancheng Hospital. Several high-rise buildings are arranged in a staggered manner, with a huge hospital logo hanging on the top. People coming and going have either relaxed or solemn expressions. Rong Jing walked past them and went to Inpatient Department No. 6 with Song Qing.
"When Chen Rong called Xiao Cheng, the executive had already been pulled out of the water by rescue workers and was now being sent from the emergency room to the inpatient department."
While the two were talking, in the VIP room 203, Li Jianzhong leaned on the pillow with a pale face. Beside him was his wife who was crying bitterly. His head was buzzing as if thousands of mosquitoes were buzzing.
He rubbed his aching brow with difficulty and comforted his wife in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, right? Don't cry."
"It almost happened, and you won't let me cry?" The wife slapped his arm in annoyance. Although she didn't use much force, she was still frightened by the grinning expression on her husband's face, and quickly looked at her palm.
Li Jianzhong took the opportunity to hold her hand and coaxed her, "Be good, don't cry."
The wife then realized that her husband was teasing her and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
After watching a complete scene of affection between a couple, Chen Rong took a bite of the apple that he had peeled for Li Jianzhong with an expressionless face.
After chewing it twice, he couldn't help but look down at the apple.
He picked the most expensive apple in the fruit store, and the clerk said that the apple tasted crispy and sweet, but why did he taste a strange dog food flavor in it?
It's really disgusting.
But Chen Rong had a hard life since childhood, so he had to continue eating even if it tasted bad.
As he ate, he stared at the affectionate scene between Li Jianzhong and his wife. He crunched the crisp apple for a long time before finally catching the couple's attention. Li Jianzhong's wife caught a glimpse of her husband's friend's expression from the corner of her eye. She felt a surge of embarrassment and quickly broke free from her husband's grip. She then gave Chen Rong an embarrassed smile, "Excuse me."
Chen Rong: "I can't laugh."
Li Jianzhong: “…”
He pulled the corners of his mouth, and a few smiles appeared on his pale face: "If you can't laugh, go find a wife, so you don't have to be alone. If you get into trouble like me and end up in the hospital, there will be no one to cry to you."
Chen Rong quickly threw the apple core into the trash can, with an expression that said, "Don't curse me."
As a bachelor, he didn't really want to hear Li Jianzhong's advice on getting married, so he quickly changed the subject: "I found you a really awesome master. Let him come over and help you take a look at the situation."
master?
Hearing these two words, Li Jianzhong recalled the post he had made to his friends the other day about seeing a ghost, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you stimulated by the ghost that day? I remember you used to scoff at these claims."
"I was too young at that time. I didn't know that there are always better people than me."
"..." Li Jianzhong rubbed his brows and showed a helpless expression to Chen Rong, "A Rong, you know I don't like this."
Li Jianzhong not only dislikes so-called masters, he is also disgusted by those who call themselves Taoists.
The reason was that Li Jianzhong and his wife had a child many years ago, but at that time they were both working hard in Yancheng and had no energy to take care of the child, so they sent the child back to their hometown to be taken care of by their parents.
Everything was fine.
Whenever they have a holiday, Li Jianzhong and his wife will go back to their hometown to visit their children and parents.
As a result, in the summer of the third year, the child had a high fever. The mother, who had been deceived by an old Taoist who traveled all over the place, did not choose to send the child to the hospital. Instead, she performed rituals on the child, made the child drink talisman water, and eat elixirs.
By the time Li Jianzhong received the call, the child had been dead for ten hours.
From that day on, Li Jianzhong never returned to his hometown and was equally hostile to all Taoists.
But he was also full of self-blame. If he could put his work aside and keep his children with him, perhaps this problem would not have occurred.
His wife hadn't gotten pregnant again over the years, so the two of them didn't force it, thinking that perhaps the child was blaming them and punishing them.
As a good friend of Li Jianzhong, Chen Rong naturally knew about this past.
Even his acquaintance with Li Jianzhong was related to this past.
At that time, Li Jianzhong was still working for another company, but the people in the company were not good people. After learning about Li Jianzhong's son's affairs, they brought it up again and again as a topic of conversation. So Li Jianzhong chose to change jobs and came to Jiang's, where he became friends with Chen Rong.
only--
"I understand how you feel, but what Xiaoxuan met back then was a liar, not a real Taoist priest," Chen Rong looked at him, "In fact, you know this better than I do."
Li Jianzhong said nothing.
Chen Rong sighed, "You can treat me as a fool or a madman, but I'm telling you the truth. I really encountered a ghost a few days ago. If it weren't for someone helping me, either you would be lying in the hospital or I would be lying in a coffin today."
Li Jianzhong frowned: "What's going on?"
Chen Rong also wanted to know what was going on, but he had no idea why he was being haunted by the little ghost.
He briefly explained the situation at the time and added, "This time, the master was recommended by Song Qing from the Xie family. There will definitely be no problems."
Xie? Song Qing?
Li Jianzhong's expression was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Chen Rong continued, "Give him some face and let him come and see you. If he is also a liar, we will go straight to the Xie family to cause trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Li Jianzhong and the other two turned their heads to look at the door at the same time. After the former said "Come in", Song Qing was the first to push the door open and walk in.
Meeting the three people's gazes, he nodded slightly: "Good afternoon, everyone. I brought Master Rong here."
As he spoke, he moved to the side, revealing the mirror that he had hidden behind him.
Looking at Rong Jing's young and pretty face, Li Jianzhong was silent for a long time. He turned to Chen Rong and said, "I think you can cause trouble for the Xie family now."
