It was obviously the first time Lin Laifeng heard this term, and he looked confused.
Li Muchen couldn't help but wonder, was his judgment wrong?
"Who did you give Mr. Lin's birthday and horoscope to?" He said in a different way.
Lin Laifeng hesitated a little, but when he saw his son lying on the ground, he sighed and said:
"If I tell you, can you let my son go?"
Li Muchen laughed coldly.
This laughter made Lin Shaoheng tremble in his heart.
"Okay." Li Muchen said disdainfully, "You are like an ant to me. As long as you don't commit suicide, you will not die. However, if you dare to lie to me, it will not only be your son's life."
These words greatly stimulated Lin Laifeng's heart.
He has lived half his life and has never suffered such humiliation.
"Okay, let me tell you, it's Zhao Chenyang."
Lin Laifeng's body was trembling slightly and he tried his best to maintain restraint.
"Who is Zhao Chenyang?" Li Muchen asked.
Lin Laifeng was a little surprised that Li Muchen didn't know Zhao Chenyang.
"The son of the Zhao family, the son of Zhao Sihai." Seeing that Li Muchen still looked confused, Lin Laifeng continued to explain, "There are four major families in Hecheng, Lin, Zhao, Feng, and Cha. The foundation of the Cha family is in Haicheng
, and have little contact with other families. The remaining three families each have their own advantages, competition, and cooperation. At present, the development momentum of the Lin family and the Zhao family is obviously better than that of the Feng family, and therefore, the competition between the two families is particularly intense.
It was fierce. Overtly and covertly, everyone used their own methods. Whoever wins will be number one in Hecheng."
"Is it so important to strive for the reputation of being number one?"
"It's not as simple as reputation. Whoever is number one in Hecheng means that he can have greater influence in policy formulation and urban development. It means that he can control most of the resources in Hecheng and can also win over the province.
and even more resources above.”
"So, you just help the Zhao family deal with the Lin family?"
"I... How could I be willing to help the Zhao family? I just think more long-term. Lin Qiusheng is indecisive. He is the head of the family, and he has wasted many great opportunities. In the past few years, in the real estate and photovoltaic industries, we clearly
Having the upper hand, the two families were evenly matched in the end, and the Feng family even stepped in to take a bite of it, and a development project as big as Lingshan Lake was taken away by the Feng family."
Lin Laifeng snorted bitterly from his nostrils.
"Hmph! If I were to take the helm, the Lin family would already be the well-deserved number one in Hecheng. How could the Zhao family have anything to do with it!"
Seeing Lin Laifeng's furious look, Li Muchen believed that what he said might be true.
Lin Qiu Sheng's character is more honest than Lin Laifeng's. To put it nicely, he is called a modest gentleman, but to put it badly, he is called pedantic.
And Lin Laifeng is obviously the kind of person who will do whatever it takes.
Li Muchen doesn't know how to do business, but he knows how to be a human being.
Just like in spiritual practice, eager for quick success and being ahead of the curve for a while will ultimately undermine success.
If Lin Laifeng is allowed to manage the Lin family's property, the Lin family may become the number one in Hecheng in the past few years, but over time, it will inevitably decline.
Therefore, when Mr. Lin chose Lin Qiusheng as the head of the family, he did not prefer his own son.
But in Lin Laifeng's eyes, the old man was partial.
He felt that he was stronger than Lin Qiu Sheng in every aspect, but in every way he was inferior.
This always made him feel unfair. Over time, it distorted his psychology and developed hatred for Lin Shangyi and Lin Qiu Sheng.
Li Muchen saw through Lin Laifeng.
"Do you know what Zhao Chenyang did by taking the old man's horoscope?"
"I know, they hired a Feng Shui master. It is said that you know Yin and Yang and can tell people's lives. They took the old man's horoscope just to calculate how many days the old man can live."
"Is it that simple?"
"What else can it do?"
Li Muchen shook his head: "You don't know that you were used as a weapon. They did hire someone, but it was not a Feng Shui master, but a wizard. They took away the old man's horoscope in order to use the nail-head arrow book. This is
A kind of witchcraft, after using it, the person who is cast will die suddenly within seven days at the earliest and forty-nine days at the latest."
"This...how is this possible?" Lin Laifeng asked in surprise.
"Hmph, how can you mortals know this kind of magic? Let me ask you, when Zhao Chenyang got the old man's horoscope, did he also take away your horoscope? Did he also do the math for you?
Are you not destined to become the head of the Lin family?"
Lin Laifeng looked shocked.
He has been in shopping malls for a long time and has met countless people, so there is no way he can't understand.
If what Li Muchen said is true, there really is such witchcraft as the nail-headed arrow book.
So Zhao Chenyang can borrow the help of a wizard to kill the old man today. He can take away Lin Laifeng's life at any time in the future.
I originally thought that with the help of the Zhao family, I would first replace Lin Qiusheng as the head of the family, and then use my methods and abilities to defeat the Zhao family in the future.
Unexpectedly, my life was already in someone else's hands.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead.
"No, it's impossible. How can there be such witchcraft in the world?"
Until now, he still couldn't believe it.
I couldn't believe that there was such a magic in this world, let alone that I would be deceived by Zhao Sihai's son.
…
The next day, Li Muchen went to work at Qinmin Restaurant as usual.
The restaurant's business is surprisingly good.
Many strange-looking guests came.
Some are one or two people, and some are in groups of three or five.
These people are very generous and order the most expensive dishes in the store.
The chef had to make two more trips to the farmer's market to replenish supplies.
There was not enough manpower, so the boss became a waiter and was very busy.
The proprietress was behind the bar, settling accounts and collecting money, with a smile on her face.
I didn’t even have my hair done or play mahjong.
I was busy working until three o'clock in the afternoon when I was finally free.
When the chef, Master Rong, and the waiter, Xiao Yang, came out, their bodies were soaked with sweat, like drowned rats.
Master Rong fanned the hat in his hand and complained: "Boss lady, what day is it today? I can't do this all the time, I have to raise my salary!"
His apprentice Xiao Yang was laughing from the side.
"It's going up, it's going up." The landlady smiled brightly, "If this happens every day, I'll definitely give you an increase. Look how tired our Master Rong is!"
Master Rong is fat, with a big head and thick neck, a typical cook.
But his skin is very white, whiter than the boss's wife. He sweats like jade soaked in water.
"Hey, Xiao Li, why aren't you sweating? I see you are busy in and out, and you are not lazy!"
Li Muchen smiled: "Born."
"Oh, what an immortal!" Master Rong sighed with emotion, "I once heard from my master that when a person becomes an immortal, his skin becomes like clotted fat and his blood turns into white ointment. Even if he is thrown into the stove, he will not sweat."
The landlady said: "I don't sweat, so am I going to become a fairy?"
"Come on, you have been sitting at the bar with the air conditioner blowing. Where did you get sweaty from?"
"Go, why don't I also help clear the table? Are you as lazy as you said?" The landlady rolled her eyes at Master Rong.
Master Rong laughed loudly: "I am just a cook, and you pay me a salary and give me a bite of food. How dare I say anything like you!"
Li Muchen's heart moved and he asked: "Master Rong, judging by your accent, are you from the capital?"
"Hey, it's been like this since I was a kid. It's been decades and the local accent is hard to change."
I don't know if he was thinking of his hometown, but Master Rong's eyes were a bit lonely.
"How many years have you been out?"
"Oh, that's been a long time. It must have been more than twenty years. When I first left the capital, I was as handsome as you. I also had long hair and carried a kitchen knife. I was better than those rock and roll guys who carried guitars.
The singer is also very popular. Alas, time is not forgiving!"
Master Rong touched his half-bald head and laughed to himself.
"Master Rong, tell us about the old capital." Li Muchen pretended to be very interested in the capital.
"There are so many things going on in the old capital, the deceit and abduction of Liulichang, the stories of rivers and lakes under the overpass, and the romances in the eight major alleys. Which one do you want to hear? If you want to hear about the past in the imperial city, you are looking for the wrong person. You should ask the eunuch.
Go. Hahaha..."
Li Muchen said: "Let's talk about the wealthy families in the capital."
