Chapter 250 How was Xiaofang taken away?
An hour after Yu Shuichun left, he called:
"Master, I'm having tea with a group of friends right now. I've learned a little bit from you, and I'm bragging to them about the next twenty years. They're listening with great interest.
However, I can't explain it clearly myself. Could you spare some time to discuss it in more detail? My friends also admire you very much."
My master taught me that if you promise things lightly, you're worthless. You have to create anticipation. This isn't some scheming thing; it's human nature.
It's human nature to value things less the easier they are to obtain. He once gave me an example: Xiao Ming's father rode his motorcycle to take him to school every day, but Xiao Ming never thanked his father.
Xiao Ming's classmate Xiao Gang's father picked up Xiao Ming twice when he picked up Xiao Gang. Xiao Ming said every day that Xiao Gang's father was very nice.
So, I wanted to be Xiaogang’s father. I smiled and said, “Brother Yu, let’s contact each other in ten days. I’m very busy these days.”
He reassured, "Ten days from now, that's early August. Okay, I'll call you then. Oh, and I'll find a place for you to attend a lecture. Your place is too crowded, and there are no tables. We'll take notes."
I felt embarrassed to refuse Brother Yu's request, so I said, "Then... okay."
…
Seven days had flown by. It was the weekend again. After dinner, I sat in my room sorting out my information on the "Li Huo Yun" (fire luck). I planned to discuss it with Brother Yu's friends in a few days.
I have made an outline, but I always feel it is too difficult. How can I explain it to a group of people who don't understand the River Chart and Luoshu, the Three Yuans and Nine Cycles, so that they can understand it?
It must be popular, and more popular. But if something elegant becomes too popular, it loses its original meaning. I wrote several drafts, and finally got it right.
At this time, Director Shen called and said that I must go to the "Sanna Teahouse" in the evening.
Ever since someone reported him, Director Chen has become much more cautious, rarely saying anything extraneous to me on the phone. I know he's worried about his phone being monitored. With all the electronic gadgets these days, Mr. Chen's car was once bugged, and it wasn't discovered until it was being repaired.
I agreed to meet him at 8 o'clock. Just as I was about to take a shower, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw Chun Yazi.
He grinned, "Hello, Mr. Wan."
After entering the room, he closed the door and said, "Please teach me some magic. I have a girlfriend recently."
"If you want to learn some magic, just say your uncle is the chairman of the Rising Sun Group."
He patted my head, took the initiative to boil water for me, made tea, and said with a smile: "I'm offering flowers to Buddha and tea as wine. Let me offer a cup to Master first."
"I have a meeting at eight. I'm getting ready to shower."
"I'll wash it for you when you come back."
"Hey you, I'm going to teach you a simple trick. Real magic requires practice, it can't be mastered in a short time."
He nodded repeatedly.
I asked the floor attendant to bring two boxes of matches. After a while, she brought them over. I cut off the front of one box and glued it to the back of the other box. I asked, "Are the front and back of this matchbox the same?"
He nodded.
I took out the middle drawer of the matchbox and filled the back of the drawer with matches. I demonstrated to him: "First, push the drawer out and show it to others. Is it empty? Turn it over and push the drawer out again. Is it full of matches?"
He understood it immediately and said, "This is good. Just take one box with you."
I thought I could get away with it, but he made another request:
"My uncle said that you tore up a card in public at a drinking table, put it in a box, and then opened it. The card was restored. He still doesn't understand it."
"Teach you everything, what should I play in the future?"
"Master, I'll just learn this one, is that all right? I've discovered that I can do magic tricks, and that's especially appealing to girls. Look at me, I'm so handsome, and I keep myself mysterious, so that when I call those girls, they won't call me, right?"
I couldn't do anything about this frivolous guy, especially since he was Mr. Chen's nephew. I said with a fierce face, "You just said you had a girlfriend, and then you said you wanted to stop me from calling those girls. Aren't you playing both sides?"
"Correction, correction, it should be about making friends with a group of girls and taking your time to choose."
Unable to persuade him, I went to the study and took out a black box. In front of him, I tore a 5 of hearts into several pieces, put the pieces into the box, closed the lid, blew on it and opened it. When he looked, he was surprised to see that there was a complete 5 of hearts in the box.
"Why?"
I said, "What you saw was just a movable board, not the bottom of the box. There was a five of hearts on the other side of the movable board. I pressed it, and it flipped over. The five of hearts came up, and the fragments automatically fell into the space below. Didn't you see that when I closed the box, I put a finger in and touched the movable board?"
"How could I have noticed that detail if you hadn't taught me, and you were too fast."
"Okay, I'll give you this prop too. Don't hang this and then that."
He was overjoyed. He put the box into his pocket, clasped his hands together, bowed several times, and walked away with a smile.
I said, "Slow down."
He stopped.
"Your uncle intends to train you and has put you in a security position to hone your skills. You can't let your ambitions get lost in the world of pleasure. Hanging out with girls all day long and becoming a Jia Baoyu is a dead end. If you have a disagreement with your girlfriend and she gets upset, you, as a talent, will lose your meaning."
He nodded and left.
I looked at the time, it was half past seven. I went downstairs and took a taxi at the hotel entrance. It is easiest to take a taxi when you are not familiar with the city.
"Go to Sanna Teahouse."
The driver laughed and said, "You're lucky. If you met someone else, they might not be able to find that place."
"Why?"
"The navigation system often leads us in the wrong direction. It's clear that we can go in the direction ahead, but it steers the car into a small alley. Only experienced drivers can avoid going in the wrong direction."
"How about this teahouse?"
"It used to be very famous. It was run by three women, each with the character 'Na' in their name. They were all beautiful and the business was very good. But then they broke up due to uneven distribution of profits and changed hands several times. Now it's not doing well, but it's not that bad, it's just not as good as it used to be."
I chatted with the driver all the way and arrived in 20 minutes.
I went up to the third floor and knocked on the door. Director Shen had arrived early. Perhaps he was bored and was watching a football game.
I laughed and said, "I can be a commentator for the national sports."
The waiter came in to make tea. After hearing what I said, he should have sat down, but he stood and listened to me.
"National sports commentators only need to master five sentences.
First sentence: Wow, I finally got the ball, but I kicked it away again.
Chapter 2: Oh, what a pity this goal was not even scored as a penalty kick.
The third sentence: The goalkeeper was completely focused, pouncing like a tiger on a sheep, but alas, he missed the shot and the ball went in. What a pity.
Fourth sentence: We don't have much time left. Come on!
Fifth sentence: Dear audience friends, although we lost this game, we found the gaps and learned experience. We believe that we will play better next time.
After hearing this, Director Shen burst into laughter. The waiter turned his head away and smiled.
Shen Chu said to the waiter, "We'll make the tea ourselves. You can just go and rest."
The waiter left sensibly, and even pulled the door open for fear that it was not closed properly.
Director Shen sat opposite me, making tea. I said, "Let me do it. You're not very skilled."
I washed the cups, boiled the kettle, poured out the first water, and boiled it again. As soon as the boiling sound stopped, I poured two cups of tea.
Shen Chu asked, "Do you play football?"
“I don’t play, but I really like watching it, because I see a group of people worth tens of millions of dollars performing hard for me, and I can even scold them a few times, which makes me very happy.
Shen Chu laughed out loud.
This prelude warmed up the atmosphere. Then I asked, "Did he take it away?"
Director Shen said, "He took it away."
"How did you get it away?"
"The Fatty and his gang are experts at this. First, they sent out all their acquaintances, and second, they have minions under their command. He sent a few minions to keep an eye on that woman every day.
On the third night, the results came. Xiaofang left work at 12:00 PM and walked back to her rented apartment with a man. The police were called, and they caught them red-handed.
After being detained for a few days, she was sent back to her hometown. Fatty Xiang went to the police station and warned the woman that if she dared to come to Shangzhou again, he would print out a notice about her scandal and post it at her hometown. He read out her hometown address, and Xiaofang knelt on the ground and said, "Please be kind, big brother, and let me go."
I said, "Well done, but I have one thing to remind you, Director. You must always be on your guard against this Fatty Xiang. He can do the same to others as he can to you. He's a double-edged sword."
Shen Chu nodded. After a while, he asked again, "When you said last time that I still had hope, what did you mean?"
I smiled and said, "I'll give you a detailed explanation below."
