Tuan Tuanyi was right. There were indeed a lot of people here. However, Wei Xi looked around carefully and found that most of the people here were blessed with good fortune. Very few of them looked unlucky like the girl he met at the door just now.
His eldest disciple also carefully observed the surroundings, and perhaps saw something, and murmured enviously: “No wonder they can be so successful…”
These people were so lucky that he really wanted to ask for their experience.
Wei Xi felt really surprised. He should have said a few more words to the girl at the door. He was so busy looking for customers that he missed the real customer.
Because of this, he was a little depressed for a while, but then he heard his advanced employee snort again. He turned his head and saw Wei Chengshu’s narrow eyes glancing at him sideways as he said with a cold and complicated tone: “You have finally made progress.”
Wei Xi didn’t understand what he said, but he couldn’t tolerate his bad habits. So, he raised his hand and patted him on the back of the head. How could you talk to the master like that?
Wei Chengshu had gotten used to being beaten recently, so he didn’t get angry. He just covered the place where he was hit, rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side.
Fortunately, Wei Xi’s regretful mood was immediately relieved. After passing through the dense crowd around him, he saw a long table at the edge of the hall that almost surrounded half of the venue! It was piled with a lot of food!
The aroma of wine and food instantly drowned out all the noise!
As he was walking towards the drinks table with Tuan Tuanyi, a voice stopped him.
Lu Wenqing saw Wei Xi’s face from a distance. Ever since he came back from the haunted house, his feelings towards Wei Xi had become extremely complicated. Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he always thought of the scene where he beat Ruan Shixing crazily and then roughly pulled the evil ghost out of Ruan Shixing’s chest. His fear of ghosts left by childhood experiences was difficult to overcome. He was bullied to death by ghosts since he was a child because of his heavy yin energy. After more than ten years of family teaching, it was the first time in his life that he saw such a scene of violently abusing evil ghosts. At that moment, he envied Wei Xi’s talent and strength, and admired Wei Xi’s courage and means. Therefore, he was eager in his heart, but did not dare to visit him. Now that he finally met him, he immediately apologized to his family and left.
“Wei Xi.” Lu Wenqing came over but didn’t know what to say. He looked around behind Wei Xi and said with a smile, “Why don’t I see your new disciple? I heard everything from Ruan Shixing.”
Wei Xi looked at the long table filled with food: “He didn’t come because of something, I’ll go to bring him some food, why are you here?”
Bring food? Lu Wenqing didn’t understand for a moment, but when he heard that question, he thought of how he had never revealed his family background to the outside world when he was in school, so he explained: “Our family has always been a member of the organizing group of the local Chamber of Commerce, and this year’s event is our turn to organize.”
Tuan Tuanyi had seen him solving supernatural problems several times since he met him. He was very surprised when he heard this: “Doesn’t your family practice cultivation?”
Lu Wenqing said with embarrassment: “What kind of cultivation…Now the country emphasizes breaking feudal superstitions, and no one believes in this anymore. How can there be so many people who practice cultivation purely? The half-baked people wandering around and the professional Taoist temples are another matter. Many people have changed their careers after the reform and opening up. My family’s main business is business now, and our side business is taking orders for rituals. I was forced by my family to study finance in college.”
Tuan Tuanyi had been following his master all along and had never had the opportunity to get involved in this circle before. After hearing the explanation from Lu Wenqing, an insider, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Oh, so that’s how it is. It’s a cold winter in the industry. No wonder it’s so difficult for us in Taicang Sect to start a business.”
Lu Wenqing felt that his choice of words was strange, but thinking that Wei Xi had no foundation and it would be difficult for him to integrate into the deep and hidden world of metaphysics, he couldn’t help but ask with concern: “Did you encounter any trouble?”
Tuan Tuanyi waved his hands quickly and said, “It’s not bad, it’s not bad. I have figured out a little bit of the trick now. When I get back, I will organize some lucky draws on Weibo and share them. By then, the exposure rate will be high and the Taobao store will open, and our reputation will probably go up.”
Lu Wenqing: “…………???”
Exposure rate… Weibo reposts… Taobao store… Wait a minute, is there something wrong with the way your sect is run?
At this time, there was a commotion in the venue, and people could be heard saying, “Here they come!”
He was confused by the interruption and followed the crowd to look back. Seeing the crowd around the podium, he immediately realized what was going on and explained to Wei Xi with a smile: “The media spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce this time is Mr. Shuo Zong. His branch’s new model of mobile phone will be launched soon. With him here, the financial channel will definitely be able to surpass the entertainment channel to make the front page headlines tomorrow.”
Wei Xi followed his instructions and looked.
A tall man was invited to step onto the podium under the attention of everyone. He was wearing a tight suit, and his handsome features looked so brilliant under the crystal chandeliers in the venue that they seemed to glow. He raised his eyes inadvertently and swept them across the venue. He seemed to pause in his direction for two seconds, and then quickly turned away.
This person seemed to be attracting a lot of attention. As soon as he appeared, not only did the guests become quiet, but many staff members who had been wandering around in front of the podium also inexplicably gathered together, holding strange machines and short sticks in their hands, and emitting strong lights and crisp sounds one after another towards him.
Wei Xi inexplicably felt that his breath felt somewhat familiar, but he didn’t have the mental space to think deeply about it.
Therefore, he walked away without any interest. This guy was neither eatable nor beatable. He had even ruined his plans in Fengyang Town before. He didn’t like him at all.
So what if his Yang Qi was strong? His second disciple from the Taicang Sect was no less strong.
Only Tuan Tuanyi was still staring at the stage infatuatedly. Although he had learned his lesson and did not call out “husband” in public, he still couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing: “The real person is really handsome… This husband was not called unjustly…”
Lu Wenqing and You Rongyan’s expressions suddenly changed. Recalling some of their experiences in the haunted house, they warily distanced themselves from this gay guy.
….
Wang Yue’s pale face did not recover until Shuo Zong finished his speech. She followed Wei Xi’s back from afar and found that after the other party entered the room, he did not come over to talk to her but went to the dining table and started eating.
Xing Kai’s voice suddenly came from the side: “Yue Yue?”
Wang Yue came back to her senses and suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart: “Cousin.”
Xing Kai followed her gaze and his face turned pale when he saw Wei Xi. He couldn’t help but recall some unbearable pains. Thanks to Wei Xi, he was taken home and beaten up by his father after swiping his card at the State Guesthouse last time. His calf hadn’t even healed yet. What was even more frustrating was that when he went home with a head full of blood to complain, no one in his family believed that it was Wei Xi who hit him on the head. Wei Xi’s usual harmless image was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the surveillance at the State Guesthouse was so weird that he had no evidence and no place to complain. His father, who scolded him for his extravagant spending, cut off his credit card. He was miserable during this period.
Thinking of his own tragic experience, he asked Wang Yue worriedly, “Is he bothering you again?”
Wang Yue didn’t know how to answer, so she shook her head.
Xing Kai felt relieved, but he was confused again: “Then why do you look so bad?”
Wang Yue bit her lip, her heart was in a mess, and she was filled with empty anxiety. However, this anxiety did not seem to be caused entirely by the girls who were laughing and pointing at her not far away. She fell silent for a long time and could not help asking, “Cousin, Wei Xi must have gotten to know about the photo, right?”
Xing Kai was panicked by the question: “Of course it’s impossible! Ruan Shixing doesn’t know anything yet, how can he find out?”
Wang Yue frowned and asked, “Then why didn’t he say a word to me after we met today?” He had clearly been coming to her house every day to try to explain to her till a few months ago.
“Is this true?” Xing Kai was stunned at first, then he reacted, “Isn’t this a good thing? He won’t bother you anymore, so you should strike while the iron is hot and call off the marriage!”
Wang Yue was very annoyed when she heard this: “But didn’t he disagree before?”
Xing Kai said, “Then try again. I’ll go with you. Although he tricked me last time, he never mentioned you during the whole process. I think there is still a way to cancel the engagement.”
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, his cousin did not show any expression of gratitude. Instead, she glared at him, turned around and walked away on her own.
Xing Kai was puzzled for a moment, thinking that women’s hearts really were like needles in the sea. How could they get angry for no reason?
