305: Chapter 299: Acquaintance 305: Chapter 299: Acquaintance Chen Hai’s Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd., located in a building just less than fifty meters away from Zhu City at East Street.
Inside the small office in the back of Huamei Electrical Appliances, which spans over one hundred square meters.
One cigarette after another, Huang Guangyu, who had returned to his shop, remained worried and preoccupied.
Anyone, after finding out that they could possibly be imprisoned for fourteen years, would definitely not be able to feel good.
He wished that Master Chen was just deceiving and coaxing him…
But his intuition told him that Master Chen had real skills; everything he said had a high likelihood of actually happening.
After all, Master Chen seemed so confident when he was discussing these matters in front of Huang Guangyu; no matter how one looked at it, he didn’t seem to have any intent to deceive.
Besides, if Master Chen was just spouting nonsense, would he dare to suggest that he wouldn’t charge any fees now and would wait to be paid later?
“When it is a bird and when it is a flower, as a flower, the rosy clouds red all the mountains, as a bird, the apricot blooms on the wall, inviting the moon to come!”
“What precisely is the meaning of this riddle that Master Chen told me?”
“By fully understanding the meaning of the words and solving the riddle, can I really find out the name of my future wife?”
His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, and the more he thought, the more Huang Guangyu became agitated.
After silently sitting in this small office for half a day, he tried to set aside the potential future of going to prison.
Most of his attention sank into the hints Chen Hai had given him about his future wife.
At twenty-four or twenty-five years of age, one is at the peak of their vigor.
Huang Guangyu had considered getting married and having children; it was just that he was too busy with his career to spare much time to consider this lifelong matter.
But now, having received these tips from Chen Hai, he really began to give it some thought.
Events that could happen in a decade or more were still far off; he didn’t need to rush.
Solving the riddle and finding clues about his future wife seemed to be his current priority.
After all, according to Chen Hai, not only would that woman become his wife, but she would also be a great help in his career.
If he found her and had her assistance, his career could get onto the fast track and soar to new heights.
“When it is a bird and when it is a flower, as a flower, the rosy clouds red all the mountains, as a bird, the apricot blooms on the wall, inviting the moon to come!”
“Is it?
Azalea?
Yes, the answer must be this?”
“Is Master Chen trying to tell me, that my future wife is named Azalea?”
After pondering for quite some time, Huang Guangyu finally managed to figure out the answer to the riddle.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the Miss Du from the credit department of China Bank, whom he had encountered because of work about half a year ago; her name seemed to be that.
“Could it be that she is my future wife?”
“But would a high-achiever with advanced degrees and education even fancy someone like me, a coarse fellow who started hustling after finishing junior high?”
“I remember I have Miss Du’s business card.
Maybe I should call her and try to ask her out to a movie?”
After hesitating and contemplating for a long time, Huang Guangyu finally picked up the phone on his office desk and started dialing.
…
Within a courtyard in Liuhua Alley.
After Huang Guangyu had left, Chen Hai had only left Xiang Dong with some tasks; he too did not stay long at the company but headed straight back to his own courtyard.
Merely helping Huang Guangyu with a bit of face-reading and a casual divination was nothing to him; the minor effort involved was trivial.
However, due to the injuries he was still recovering from, he felt a bit of fatigue after using a little face-reading and Divination Skill.
This time, his visit to Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd.
was just a casual look.
As for him helping Huang Guangyu with his future and giving advice, that was purely coincidental.
Given the nature of his Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd., it’s not suitable to promote vigorously.
After all, the services his company provided could, on the nicer side, be called future information consulting, but on another, could be entirely classified as superstitious.
Capital City is the land under the Son of Heaven’s feet.
If someone were to make an issue out of his company’s nature, it could lead to the company being sealed and operations stopped.
Starting up such a company, Chen Hai’s strategy was simple: sneak into the village — don’t alert with a gunshot.
Without heavy promotion, developing clients for his company would definitely have to rely on introductions by acquaintances.
The act of Xiang Dong distributing flyers all over the place to the elderly could not just result in gaining nothing but could also easily attract trouble.
Chen Hai had not been aware of this matter beforehand; otherwise, he would definitely have stopped Xiang Dong from such reckless actions.
“Qingqing, I told you about the Future Information Consulting Company a few days ago; all the paperwork is now done.”
“I just went there, and made a bit of business, helping someone with divination.”
“You know a lot of people here in Capital City, when you have time, could you promote it a little for me, see if anyone you know needs such services!”
After resting on the sofa for a while, Chen Hai picked up the phone and called his girlfriend.
In Capital City, he’d long had the idea of setting up some properties.
Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd., no matter what type of business it was running, in Chen Hai’s eyes, it was his very first company.
He was naturally very concerned about the company’s operations.
As for his unfinished resort that was only half-built, due to a lack of funds, he could only set it aside for the time being.
After hanging up the phone with Chen Hai, he also called Uncle Ban and Dong Dahai, each getting a call.
Even Wei Zhidong from Capital City, who did the aquatic products business and bought a Corpse Transformation Talisman from him at the Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center, as well as Young Master Sun from behind the Dafa Pawnshop, Chen Hai also made a call to them.
He informed them that he was starting a company and was ready to launch the following services.
Only after making sure he hadn’t missed anyone he knew in Capital City did Chen Hai finally put down his phone and settled back onto the couch.
By a little after five in the afternoon, Ye Qingqing, who had gone to school for her classes, finally returned to the courtyard.
“Chen Hai, didn’t you say you were going to the company today and made a deal?”
“Come on, share with me, how much money did you make from this deal?”
“Once we’re married, I’m still counting on you to support me, you know?”
As soon as she got back into the living room, Ye Qingqing began teasing Chen Hai with a playful look on her face and hung on his arm jokingly.
“Not a single cent has been collected.”
Scratching the back of his head, Chen Hai seemed somewhat embarrassed and explained, “You’re not unaware of the kind of business my company’s into, Qingqing!”
“That client came to me himself, not through someone else’s referral.”
“Seeing my age, he was ready to turn around and leave right there.”
“There was no choice; since it was the company’s first deal and to seek a good omen, I had to make concessions and allowed him a delayed payment…”
Saying this, Chen Hai appeared embarrassed and even chuckled dryly a few times.
“It’s so rare that you call me proactively to talk about the company.”
“I thought my fiancé really made some big deal and was ready to share some good news with me!”
“Turns out, after all that, you’ve done a credit deal!”
Covering her mouth to hide her giggles, Ye Qingqing teased Chen Hai.
“What’s this ‘credit deal’?
They call it delayed payment.”
“In a few months, or a few years at most, the compensation due, they will definitely give it all to me, not a penny short!”
“Who knows, if my divination is accurate, when they pay the compensation, they might even give me an unexpected surprise!”
“Why?
Qingqing, are you worried that I won’t be able to support you after we’re married?”
Knowing his girlfriend was just teasing him, Chen Hai playfully argued a few words in response and then joined in the banter with her.
At first, the two were merely exchanging playful banter and teasing each other.
In no time, the scene on the couch turned slightly inappropriate for children.
…
The next day, bright and early.
After breakfast with Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing went straight to school.
As for Chen Hai, he entered the Cultivation Room to quietly recuperate and restore his body.
At nine in the morning, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
“Hello, who is this?” Picking up the phone, Chen Hai pressed the answer button and casually spoke.
“Boss, it’s me, Xiang Dong!”
“Do you know a seafood businessman named Wei Zhidong?
He’s in the office right now.”
“He says that you personally informed him that our company offers some metaphysical services.”
“He has a need in this area, so he came over to our company first thing this morning…”
Over the phone, Xiang Dong began to report to Chen Hai.
“Wei Zhidong?
Yes, I did call to inform him!”
“Does he need my help with something?
Alright, tell him to wait; I’ll be right there!”
Furrowing his brows slightly, Chen Hai nodded and responded.
When he first met Wei Zhidong at the Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center, the two had a bit of an unpleasant interaction.
Not until later, when Wei Zhidong took the initiative to apologize, and spent one hundred thousand yuan to buy a Corpse Transformation Talisman from Chen Hai, did their relationship warm up a bit.
Yesterday, when Chen Hai called him, he could tell that Wei Zhidong was hesitant and seemed to be holding back something.
Perhaps, he had something he wanted Chen Hai’s help with over the phone at that time.
However, their relationship wasn’t strong enough for that yet.
It was only after learning about Chen Hai’s new company and that it had opened for business did he decide to stop discussing it over the phone and instead came directly to the company early today.
