Chapter 010: Making Money through Trade
After changing into a new outfit, Xiao Yufan felt a bit more spirited. He smiled at himself in the mirror with a hint of narcissism. Standing at 1.8 meters tall with a handsome face, if he were dressed in a suit and leather shoes, people would certainly mistake him for a wealthy and handsome man. Of course, wealth had nothing to do with him.
During his four years in university, his academic performance was consistently good. In addition to majoring in computer programming, he also obtained a second degree in political science and law. However, when faced with the daunting recruitment requirements of major companies in Beijing, he realized that these advantages were hardly significant.
"Oh, whatever, it's not the first or second time anyway..." Xiao Yufan was at a loss for words upon hearing Lin Jiayao's remarks. This girl was becoming increasingly bold, speaking to him without any reservations. Since he had nothing else to attend to at the moment, he hung up the phone and headed directly to Lin Jiayao's residence
When the time comes, you can have your colleague call me directly. If it weren't for your reputation, I definitely wouldn't get involved. You should know that back home, there are quite a few people who want me to assess feng shui, but to be honest, very few people ask for feng shui assessments of graves
There is a washing machine, but one cannot use it for undergarments, right! Lin Jiayao's voice was somewhat faltering, and Xiao Yufan silently cursed the little enchantress in his heart
"Miss, what is it that you want this time?" After their previous intimate encounter, Xiao Yufan could not deny that he had developed some feelings for Lin Jiayao. However, in his view, the two merely had mutual affection and would not have any further interactions.
I ... ... have relatives visiting, so I cannot touch cold water. Could you come and help me wash some clothes ... ...
Looking at the cemetery... Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, letting out a somewhat irritating lewd laugh. Xiao Yufan was instantly thrown into confusion. He naturally knew how to assess the feng shui of a cemetery, but since cemeteries are associated with misfortune, he was reluctant to engage with such matters. However, since there was money to be made, he certainly would not delay.
After tidying up the room briefly, Xiao Yufan directly collapsed onto the sofa. He had no interest in Yu Yihan's bedroom, but thinking of how she looked in her pajamas that morning gave him a thrilling sensation, and he experienced a significant change in his lower body
I know my brother is quite generous, so when you have time, I'll take you to the nightclub to have some fun. Tell me, what kind of girl do you want this time? I'll arrange everything for you
Xiao Yufan's words are not mere bravado; the Xiao family's ancestors were indeed renowned feng shui masters, well-known in their hometown for generations. Naturally, he has been influenced by this legacy. Furthermore, his grandfather once remarked that in the realm of feng shui and fortune-telling, his skills would surely surpass those of many predecessors.
"Alright, no problem. But why did you suddenly decide to work on the computer? Is our great computer programmer about to rise?" Ma Teng teased from the other end of the phone. He knew Xiao Yufan's character all too well; once he took something seriously, he would not rest until he achieved his goal.
I can't believe it... I have been treated like a laborer, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat indignant
There is much to say, speak freely, only a fool would not earn money; as long as it is not illegal, I can do it! Upon hearing that it was a profitable venture, Xiao Yufan immediately perked up his ears. He handed all his savings to Lin Jiayao, and it can be said that he was now completely broke; what he lacked the most was money.
The phone rang again, and Xiao Yufan murmured to himself, wondering when Ma Teng had become so efficient. However, when he picked up the phone, he found that it was Lin Jiayao calling.
At the Ling Mountain Pagoda Cemetery outside the Fifth Ring Road, my colleague will go to select a burial plot at four o'clock this afternoon. You two should go together
Life is really not easy! With a sigh, Xiao Yufan pressed the cigarette butt firmly into the ashtray. At this moment, the entire room was shrouded in smoke, and he directly dialed Ma Teng's number.
Please inform me of the time and location for visiting the cemetery
However, Xiao Yufan remembered that his grandfather had once told him that before the age of twenty-five, one must not engage in feng shui or fortune-telling, as it would lead to conflicts. Therefore, even though life was difficult, he persisted and did not take that path
Brother Teng, please help me get a second-hand computer. It doesn't need to be too good. You can cover the cost for now, and I will definitely pay you back later
Aren't you the one who said to - the - book that your ancestors practiced feng shui and fortune-telling? Today, a colleague approached me and asked if I had any friends knowledgeable in feng shui to help him with a consultation. I immediately thought of you. You only need to take a look for him, and you could earn several hundred yuan as a reward. Even if you just make something up, others probably wouldn't know the difference.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yufan rummaged through his belongings in search of a suitable outfit. He was going to help someone with feng shui, and if he dressed like he did now, he would surely be regarded as just another common charlatan.
When he first arrived in Beijing and was living in financial hardship, he considered making money by offering feng shui consultations and fortune-telling, as he was quite knowledgeable in these areas. Whether one believes in feng shui and destiny or not, one undeniable fact is that they are closely related to the trajectory of an individual or even a family.
"Come on, I certainly don't want to exhaust myself to death. Instead of that, I might as well think about how to make money during this time!" Xiao Yufan said with a laugh and a scold. Ever since he broke up with his lover of five years and met Lin Jiayao again, he realized that he was no longer so dependent on the nightlife.
Including love, he has never actively sought anything since coming from wwwhetushucomcom. It was only after being provoked by Yu Yihan that Xiao Yufan realized he should earnestly look for a job that could support himself
Lighting a cigarette, Xiao Yufan lay comfortably on the sofa, yet his mind was anything but calm. He realized that over the past three years, he had become accustomed to complaining and had grown used to self-abandonment.
Is feng shui about examining houses or shops? Divination through feng shui is my specialty, though I haven't practiced it for quite some time
"Washing clothes?" Xiao Yufan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Miss, you can't be telling me that your family doesn't have a washing machine, can you?"
"It can't be that serious, right? You've managed to get through these three years! By the way, I have a lucrative business opportunity here; would you like to get involved?"
"What a joke about rising up; if things continue to be so careless, I might as well go back home and just consider it a means to make a living!" Xiao Yufan let out a bitter laugh. Not to mention rising up, he currently lacks even a bit of motivation to work. He simply does not want Yu Yihan to look down on him, and even he himself does not understand why he cares about this woman's opinion of him.
