Chapter Sixty-Nine: A New Look



After all, apart from the Business Department, everyone was having a tough time. As a collective, the Business Department should shoulder more responsibility for the other departments. Upon hearing this, Director Zhao complained again, saying that Director Wei and Director Chen were talking without understanding the difficulties the Business Department had overcome to achieve its results.

Unwittingly, this has once again drawn a wave of hatred towards himself.

Finally, Lü Xian spoke up. Lü Xian had high praise for the Business Department, and her tone was much milder than that of other departments. As for the suggestions from Wei Ke and Chen Ke, Lü Xian believed that since the goals had been set at the beginning of the year, they should not be changed lightly, and it was better to follow the rules.

However, at the end of the year, the office will carefully consider the Commercial Section's actual performance this year and determine next year's work goals. Lü Xian asked all the staff in the Commercial Section to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and to do their work conscientiously every month, without being perfunctory or negligent just because they were worried about increased targets.

He said he would keep a close eye on the work of the business department.

The evening meeting ended abruptly after the business department finished its work. When Wang Yao checked the time, it was still before midnight. It seemed that Lü Xian didn't want to upset Wei Cai any further and had voluntarily shortened the meeting time.

Nothing happened that night. In the morning, Hui Shuo got up and asked Wang Yao for money. Wang Yao was surprised. He had just given this kid a thousand yuan yesterday. How could he have spent it all in one day? This kid makes money fast, and he doesn't hesitate to spend it either.

He just couldn't understand how Hui Shuo, a poor boy from the countryside, could spend money so extravagantly. But after asking, he found out that ever since Boss Yu's incident, the people at the hotel who were having meetings had been avoiding Hui Shuo.

Just as Jiang Yongshun said, these guys haven't had enough of life's hardships yet, and they're afraid that if they offend the monks, they'll be inexplicably invited to the Western Paradise by the Bodhisattva.

Hui Shuo didn't explain anything to these guys. Instead, he simply started treating them to a meal. This was something his master, Da Cheng, from Lianye Temple had taught him: one shouldn't just take in but not give out, lest one annoy people. Besides, he hadn't sold all his amulets yet and needed to rebuild his reputation.

At noon, not many people went out to eat with Hui Shuo in response to his call. Hui Shuo spent more than 400 yuan and didn't finish the food. He packed several bags of food to take back to his room. Wang Yao and Hua Tuo were busy in a meeting and didn't notice.

There were more people in the evening, and Hui Shuo spent more than 500 yuan. The 1,000 yuan he had on him was not enough. According to Hui Shuo, he planned to treat everyone again today.

Especially that tycoon who was prepared to donate 1 million yuan. He was given three days to consider it, which would have been fine in the first place. But since Boss Yu's incident, it seems that it is now in doubt. Hui Shuo plans to find a way to call him over today.

Regardless of whether the tycoon changes his mind or not, leaving a good impression means there will be other opportunities in the future, right? If he hides away after something happens, how long will his Lingguang Temple survive?

After listening to Hui Shuo's words, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel that they made a lot of sense. You have to admit, Master Dacheng of Lianye Temple is indeed a master. His way of facing things calmly after they happened is very clever.

When ordinary swindlers get into trouble, they either hide or move to another place to start swindling again, becoming like rats in the street. But Master Dacheng's method is to get up wherever he falls, with a fierce, indomitable spirit.

Moreover, having earned so much money, spending a little more would be very beneficial for rebuilding one's image. If some amulets were given away, the effect would be even better.

Wang Yao thought Hui Shuo's words made sense, so he had no choice but to take out another thousand yuan and give it to him. However, he still felt uneasy. Remembering that Hui Shuo had not yet given him the bank card, he frowned again.

"Don't just focus on spending money to treat people to meals. Give away some of your amulets too. And your bank cards? I'll keep them for you. Once you've given away all the amulets, you can make more as long as you have the money. If you run out of money, the amulets will be useless."

Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, Hui Shuo hurriedly took out his bank card and handed it to him.

“I’ve also thought about giving away some Buddhist amulets, but people are still worried. They’re afraid that the amulets are too powerful, like invitations to the Western Paradise, and no one would dare to accept them,” Hui Shuo explained.

Wang Yao, finding his words reasonable, stopped arguing and told Hui Shuo and Hua Tuo to go have breakfast together. Just as the two reached the door, he suddenly remembered something else.

"Um... what's the password?" Wang Yao raised the bank card in his hand to Hui Shuo.

"0," Hui Shuo answered readily.

"02... What does this mean?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment, not understanding the meaning and not too confident in memorizing the string of numbers.

"This is the day I saw my parents again. Since seeing them, I... I feel like I've been reborn, just like them! Before, when my parents left, I was all alone, and I always felt uncertain and empty. But since seeing them again, everything is different!"

"I... I feel like I've found my pillar of support. I don't have to worry about anything anymore. I just need to stay with my parents," Hui Shuo happily explained to Wang Yao.

“Uh…” Wang Yao watched Hui Shuo and Hua Tuo leave, and finally understood. It turned out that Hui Shuo called him “father” and “mother” because he thought he was his parents reborn. It seemed that he must have done something to cause Hui Shuo to misunderstand.

After carefully recalling the details of his meeting with Hui Shuo, Wang Yao finally figured out most of the reason why Hui Shuo insisted on acknowledging his parents. If Hui Shuo hadn't made money before, Wang Yao would probably have had to rack his brains to explain it to him, but now...

The money in his card, plus the money in Qiankun, is almost 100,000. Even if Hui Shuo spends 1,000 a day as much as he wants, it would still take 100 days or 3 months to spend it all. The problem is that this kid is good at spending money, but even better at making money. He almost got several million into his account.
