Chapter 135 I'll definitely help you
As the sun rose, the day at Foshu Noodle Shop reached its climax. I was eating noodles when my brother-in-law came over and asked, "You talked for at least two hours last night, right?"
I nodded excitedly and said in a deep voice, "After you finish eating, come sit over there with me."
I led him into the bedroom and transferred 70,000 yuan to him via my phone. He was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground. He asked, "Did you make so much last night?"
I smiled and said, "Night talks are a really good idea. If you can help others solve their problems, there will be great potential for making money."
My brother-in-law is a smart man. He didn't ask any further questions. He sighed and said, "Shanhong, you've chosen the right path. Although some night talks are difficult to publicize, they have definitely brought you considerable income."
We walked out of the bedroom. Yifan was very quick and efficient. She cleaned everything, made some tea, and sat down to read a book.
My brother-in-law winked at me, meaning that this child is quite diligent, and then left.
Yifan sat for a while and asked me, "I was reading last night and it said, 'A woman with a thin forehead is a sign of loneliness and misery.' What does it look like to have a thin forehead?"
"If someone like this comes, I'll tell you."
Hardly had he finished this when a woman in her thirties came in. She had an oval face, a modest forehead, and was beautiful. She had what we often call a "small face," and she would look great on television.
I coughed and raised my chin. Yifan understood and looked up at the woman.
The woman sat down, wrote a word and pushed it to me, saying, "Mr. Wan, I'm a teacher. Please help me check whether there is a place for my transfer."
I took a look and saw it was the character for "动". After a little thought, I analyzed it for her:
"Judging from the word, someone is helping."
She asked, "Why do you know someone is helping you just by looking at it?"
"Because the right half of this character is the character for 'force', it means someone is working hard for you."
"Can I help you?"
I shook my head. "Like clouds in the sky, ethereal and fleeting."
"Why?"
"Because, although there are people helping me, the first half of the word is 'cloud'. The so-called 'cloud' means it has no foundation and is blown by the wind. I'm afraid I can only move on my own and cannot rely on others."
She looked at me seriously, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
After all, I charged fifty yuan for just three sentences, and my conscience was a little uneasy. I said, "Just tell me what you have to say."
She was silent for a moment, then asked, "You're right. Someone told me to campaign for me, but after two years of campaigning, there's been no result. Can I ask for the money back?"
I was shocked. In the past five years, anyone who came to collect debts had basically no good results. Either they couldn't get the money back or they had to go to court. In some cases, like Lao Deng's, there were even murders.
The woman before him looked handsome and beautiful, but her eyes were a little melancholy. She looked more like Lin Daiyu than Wang Xifeng. Needless to say, the money spent on hiring someone to run the business had already been two years, and it was definitely a waste of money.
Although he felt a little sorry for her, as a fortune teller, he only read fortunes and didn't want to get involved in other people's personal affairs, so he reminded her, "You can ask him. If he can really help, urge him to hurry up. The Chinese New Year is only a few months away. Before the holiday, generally speaking, the school will discuss personnel arrangements for the next semester."
She nodded, stood up, scanned the QR code on the wall, and left.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Mr. Wan, you used to live in Youranju. Do you know someone named Chen Lie?"
My eyes lit up: "I know him, of course I don't know him?"
"He's my uncle. He told me that you even named my cousin's child Duanmu Feng."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Come, sit down."
The woman turned back and sat down. Yifan was quick-witted and immediately made a cup of tea and brought it over. The woman was flattered and said quickly, "Thank you."
She is Chen Lie's niece, so she must be helped.
"Tell me about your transfer."
The woman then slowly began to narrate:
Her surname is He, and her name is He Guiqi. She'd been divorced for three years and was teaching at Lanyuan School in the suburbs. She wanted to move back to Xicheng District to take care of her mother, but she couldn't. A man named Fatty Qiao, who often took on small projects at their school, agreed to go to an event for her and offered her 50,000 yuan, but he kept coaxing her out of her.
I said, "I can't control the transfer. Since she's Lao Chen's niece, I'll help you find a way to pay the money. Please leave me your number."
She stood up and thanked him repeatedly.
After the woman left, I said to Yifan, "This person is the one with the 'flat forehead'."
"My forehead is just a little narrow, but why does it mean I have such a hard life?"
"These are conclusions from physiognomy books, which summarize the experiences of our ancestors. Can they be called scientific conclusions? No. But they are often correct. My master and I have discussed this before. My thinking is that it is related to bone growth."
"That's definitely related. It means this bone hasn't grown, or it's genetically destined not to grow."
After hearing this, I felt very satisfied and said, "You did read the book carefully. My personal understanding is that because their bones haven't fully developed, people with this appearance should be relatively simple-minded."
"Oh." He seemed to understand.
I continued, "We can't dismiss physiognomy books as superstition, because human research on the brain is still in its infancy. For example, people with wide eyebrows are less intelligent. How can science explain this? It can't. Perhaps it's the shape of their bone structure that determines a relatively low IQ."
Yifan seemed to understand a little bit, because I couldn't explain it clearly either, so he nodded and said, "I'll remember these tips and combine them with other people's on-site performances to make a comprehensive judgment."
"That's right, everything is relative. Specific things require specific analysis."
I taught Yifan for a while, and then I thought I needed to ask Brother Long to intervene in Teacher He's matter. So I called Brother Long and explained the situation.
Brother Long asked, "What's the limit? How far should it go? Should we use force or civility?"
I smiled and said, "Don't scare me. You can handle this little thing, but you must not hurt anyone. Just get the money back."
"Okay, let's set up a trap and make him spit out the money."
After hanging up the phone, I felt itchy inside and was full of curiosity about Brother Long's scheme, so I called him again: "Brother Long, take me an apprentice."
"Brother Shanhong, are you kidding me?"
"What kind of trap were you talking about?"
"Why are you learning this?"
"I'm very curious. How about I treat you to lunch at noon so I can learn some real skills?"
"Then come to Fengye Hotel."
I gave Yifan a few words and drove off at full speed. I'd been to his office once before, so I was familiar with the route. I went up to the eighth floor and knocked on the door. Brother Long opened the door and gestured for me to sit down.
His sofa was so wide and large that it made me feel tiny when I sat on it. He rang the bell, and a young woman came in. She made some tea, placed it in front of me, and said, "Please drink it slowly." She also refilled Long Ge's special cup with water. Then she closed the door.
Brother Long took out two packs of cigarettes from the desk drawer and said, "Take it back and smoke it."
"I don't have to pay tuition, but the teacher still gives me living expenses?"
"Cigarettes are a kind of peace-making herb. You still have to ask for more after eating them." After saying that, he sat down next to me, took out a cigarette and handed it to me. He turned his lighter and the flame shot up, then he lit it for me.
I took a drag on my cigarette. “Teach me.”
He chuckled. "Don't learn that. Things like that, anything involving physical violence, like cutting fingers or picking tendons, are the work of hooligans. My method is to exploit people's weaknesses. Everyone has weaknesses, and if you exploit them, you'll be invincible."
After that, he made a phone call and a henchman came in. The henchman stood in front of Brother Long and smiled.
Brother Long didn't ask him to sit down, and said, "Go investigate a guy named Fatty Qiao, who specializes in small logistics projects for Lanyuan School, and find out his hobbies."
After hearing this, the man left immediately.
I complimented him, "Brother Long, your brothers are more obedient than soldiers."
He laughed and said, "There's only one word for these people: protect them. Just let them protect you in everything, and they'll obey."
Brother Long and I chatted about this and that in his office.
Less than an hour later, my subordinate called and clarified the situation. Brother Long listened for a while and said to me, "Call that teacher over."
