Wei Xi was enjoying his meal at the dining table with his apprentice. While eating, he left a portion of the food he thought tasted good on his plate. Then he heard footsteps and the girl he had just met outside the banquet hall approached.
He was worried about not being able to find the target customer. When he saw the customer he had just missed, his eyes lit up: “It’s you!”
Wang Yue noticed that his expression was very different from the last time they met. She didn’t know why but her mood, which had been depressed for a long time, suddenly became brighter. She hesitated for a while, unable to hide her happiness, but also feeling wronged. Perhaps she had been spoiled by him over the years. As soon as she felt wronged, her original guilt was immediately overwhelmed by anger. Therefore, she stopped approaching him, and just stood there staring at Wei Xi’s eyes with resentment: “Are you willing to pay attention to me now?”
The expression on Wei Xi’s face relaxed a lot, and he even came closer on his own initiative.
Wang Yue pursed her lips tightly, thinking to herself, you treated me like this in public just now, I must make you apologize. But when Wei Xi approached, he said, “I see that your forehead is dark, your eyebrows are drooping, your eye wrinkles are deep, and your skin is dark. I’m afraid it will affect your future luck.”
Wang Yue: “???”
Wei Xi stared at his lost client and quickly tried to sell a deal: “Apply for a membership card from our company and I will help you solve this problem.”
Wang Yue: “…”
Wei Xi saw the shock on her face and thought that he had scared her by asking for too much, so he quickly said, “Or this will work. Give me two hundred thousand and I’ll sell you a lucky charm.”
Wang Yue looked at him in disbelief and realized that he was not joking.
Then she heard another question: “So, are you paying by card or by bank transfer?”
As soon as Wei Xi finished speaking, he saw the girl in front of him redden her eyes. She glared at him fiercely, covered her face and ran away sobbing.
He stood there in a daze, turned around and followed her back, feeling anxious. What was going on? Why did the customer run away?
Tuan Tuanyi stepped forward, stamped his feet and said, “Master! What’s wrong with you? We need to be skillful in selling! How can you say that a girl has deep eye wrinkles and dark skin? Look, she was so angry after hearing that, how can she buy our products again!”
Wei Xi suddenly realized.
So that’s how it is! To run a business, he really had to rely on his eldest apprentice!
….
Wei Xi learned his lesson and stopped talking nonsense, eating quietly.
He ate very fast, and in a short while he had eaten most of the food on the table within a half-meter radius. The staff at the venue saw this and wondered what to do! They didn’t dare to stop him from eating, so they had to wipe the sweat off his face and keep following him to eat. The scene was truly amazing.
Fortunately, normal guests come here to make friends and build relationships, and no one would hide in a corner and eat like him, so not many people at the table noticed his feat.
However, some people still knew who he was. Wei Tianyi was dressed neatly and holding a glass of wine when he saw his old friend Tan Fu, who was reminiscing about the past with him, look behind him frequently. He finally couldn’t help but say with a strange expression: “Old Wei… I didn’t expect your eldest son to be such a big eater…”
Wei Tianyi looked back and saw a long line of staff members following his son with trays replenishing the meals. His face immediately turned green.
He laughed awkwardly, veins popping out of his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he stepped forward to stop him: “Don’t eat, you!”
Wei Xi still had a bite of Black Forest in his mouth when his right hand that was holding the food was held down by the man. He immediately got angry, but when he turned around, he saw Tan Fu next to Wei Tianyi.
Tuan Tuanyi was also stunned when he saw Tan Fu: “Master, why does this man have such big bags under his eyes?”
Tan Fu’s eye bags were really big, almost reaching his cheeks, and they looked dark blue, making him look listless.
Wei Xi replied as a matter of course: “Because he is our client.”
Having learned the lesson from the previous incident of driving away the customer, Wei Xi stopped trying to sell his products randomly. After swallowing the cake, he was surprisingly polite and took the initiative to say to Tan Fu, “Hello.”
He also imitated the way other people in the venue greeted each other and extended his right hand toward the other party.
Seeing that he looked handsome and polite, Tan Fu immediately put aside the image of him eating cakes crazily and shook hands with him with a smile: “Oh, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You have grown a lot.”
Wei Tianyi looked at the scene in front of him and for a moment he seemed to have fallen into a dream that was not like this world. He held on to the almost ethereal feeling of happiness in his heart, thinking that this evil creature finally knew how to give him face in public.
The next second, Wei Xi spoke: “Sir, are you interested in learning about the membership card of Taicang Sect?”
Wei Tianyi: “…”
“???” Tan Fu looked at Wei Tianyi in confusion, “Does your son open a gym now?”
Tuan Tuanyi quickly stepped forward and handed over his business card: “You misunderstood. We are professional in helping people get rid of disasters and misfortunes. We undertake a variety of services such as fortune-telling, face reading, feng shui and exorcism. In addition, we also have health care, private detective and haunted house entertainment projects to choose from. You can learn more about them.”
Tan Fu: “Fortune telling… exorcism…?”
Wei Tianyi stared at his eldest son with a dark face: “Don’t pay attention to him. I don’t know what kind of mess he has been getting into recently. You don’t have to listen to his nonsense.”
Seeing his expression, Tan Fu felt as if he had touched some taboo topic in his old friend’s family. After a moment of silence, he laughed awkwardly. He put away the business card and said to Wei Xi with a smile: “Uncle wishes you a prosperous career but forget about the membership card. I don’t need it either.”
Wei Xi glanced at him, her eyes almost piercing his dark pupils. Tan Fu was stunned for a moment, then continued with a smile: “You are in your twenties now, right? The last time I saw you, you were still in high school. Oh, time flies, you have grown up so fast. I haven’t seen your father for many years, and I haven’t had time to visit him during the holidays in recent years. Come on, uncle will give you and Chengshu a red envelope.”
He took out his wallet and handed over a card, smiling and saying, “Spend it, little brat. There’s not much in it, just about 500,000 yuan, enough to buy a bag for your girlfriend. Remember to give half to your brother, okay?”
Wei Chengshu, who was standing by, silently looked up at his elder brother after hearing this.
Wei Xi handed the card to Tuan Tuanyi and met his gaze with a look that said, “What are you looking at me for?”
Wei Chengshu turned his head away gloomily again: “…”
Although five hundred thousand was not enough for the sect’s gold card, it was not a small amount either. Therefore, although Wei Xi’s request to apply for the card was rejected, he was silent for a moment after receiving the money, and then signaled Tuan Tuanyi to take out an ordinary membership card and handed it to the other party.
Tan Fu looked at the crudely made gray card with some strange patterns on it, as if it was custom-made by a roadside printing shop: “…What is this?”
Wei Xi: “This is the silver membership card. Please take it and keep it close to you.”
Tan Fu reached out his hand in confusion and took it. The moment he took it, he felt a shock in his heart. His eyes, which had been very tired recently, seemed to relax a little. He came to his senses and thought it was an illusion. He also felt a little uneasy that this illusion was too real. So he looked at the card in his hand in a daze. He still felt mysterious for no reason: “I didn’t expect there was really a membership card… Silver card, is it made of pure silver?”
Wei Xi gave him a strange look and said, “How is that possible? Of course I ordered it from a roadside printing shop.”
Tan Fu looked at him silently with his huge eye bags: “…Oh.”
….
“Is everything okay over there?” In the corner of the banquet hall, Xia Shouren looked at the man with big bags under his eyes who was talking to Wei Xi not far away and poked his friend who was leaning against the wall.
Shuo Zong’s hair, which was combed meticulously before he went on stage, had been fingered loose. He leaned against the wall, having untied his tie while looking at the scene not far away, and he had his eyelids slightly lowered, as if he didn’t care: “It’s okay.”
“You actually think it’s okay!” Xia Shouren couldn’t believe it. “Dude, he almost bit off my finger, have you forgotten? And did you see how much he ate just now? Does that look like he’s okay? He can eat everyone in the banquet hall with just one big mouthful. Wake up!”
Shuo Zong unbuttoned the top button of his shirt slowly, frowned at the words, and glanced at his friend: “Keep your voice down.”
As soon as the words fell, the conversation over there ended. Wei Tianyi, with a forbearing look on his face, left with Tan Fu, who looked confused, and Wei Chengshu, who looked gloomy, leaving Wei Xi and his eldest disciple to continue eating and drinking at the table.
The tray in Wei Xi’s hands was almost full of food. He was busy chewing something. He glanced around and spotted the lounge in the corner. He walked over with the tray.
Xia Shouren’s fingers started to hurt when he saw him. Not only did his fingers hurt, but his tail also hurt. He was so scared that he took several steps back and said in panic, “Oh my god! He’s coming in! What should we do if he comes in!”
Shuo Zong threw the tie in his hand onto the table, opened the door to let Wei Xi in, and coldly signaled Xia Shouren not to say anything more: “Shut up, he’s not that dangerous.”
Then Wei Xi stopped, holding the huge full plate, his eyes fixed on his right hand.
Shuo Zong followed the look and realized that he was probably used to being fed recently. Plus, he was too busy giving a speech to eat. When the other party came in, he took a pastry from the top of the plate.
He held the cake and looked at Wei Xi in silence.
The next second, Wei Xi put the plate on the table, raised his fist and rushed forward fiercely –
“I brought this for my second apprentice! You are so brave!!”
Shuo Zong: “………………”
Xia Shouren: “………………”
Xia Shouren looked speechlessly at the two people who were fighting over there in an instant, it turned out that it was really not dangerous at all!
