I don't know if it was because I was too nervous, or if Ma Chengshu's kick was a little too strong.
The little brother with four eyes, Ma Xiaoteng, almost fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.
He put one hand on the ground and barely managed to steady his body.
After he stood up again, he, who looked very shy at first, had a face as red as a monkey's butt.
"Hou...Master Hou..." stammered, Ma Xiaoteng said hello to Hou Donggui.
The scene just now made him extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Hou Donggui in front of him.
"This kid is a boring gourd, he can't even kick him out, and his personality is a bit introverted."
"He just graduated from the Computer Engineering Department of Shenzhen University last year and now works for a pager company."
"His job is quite leisurely, and the salary is pretty good."
"But this guy is not a worry-free person. He wants to quit his job and start his own business instead of doing a good job?"
"Which boss among us is not good at dancing and well-rounded? With his shy temperament, is this the right guy for him?"
…
He glared at his son Ma Xiaoteng fiercely. When he looked at Hou Donggui again, he immediately put on a smile.
Vowing bitterly, he and Hou Donggui walked and chatted towards the living room.
As for Ma Xiaoteng, his face turned red with embarrassment. He lowered his head and followed closely behind the two of them without saying a word.
"Mr. Ma, you and your son suddenly came to visit me. I don't know..."
Inviting Ma and his son to sit down on the sofa, Hou Donggui poured them a cup of hot tea.
Listening to Ma Chengshu keep talking about his son, he was confused and couldn't bear to listen.
While he was helping Ma Chengshu pour tea, Hou Donggui interrupted him and tentatively asked.
"It's like this, Master Hou, this kid in our family is yelling at me every day that he wants to quit his job and start a business."
"Because of this matter, he and I have quarreled several times. In my opinion, he just ate too much lard and got confused."
"Master Hou, I have not only heard about your ability in metaphysics, but I have also witnessed it with my own eyes."
"I came here just to ask you to help Quanzi see how his financial fortune is? Is there any possibility of success in starting a business?"
Seeing that Hou Donggui seemed a little impatient, Ma Chengshu finally kept going around in circles. He made it clear and stated his purpose.
Compared with that kind of real powerful people, he is far behind in terms of identity and status.
Although he and Hou Donggui have known each other for several years, they are not close friends and are not qualified enough to show off their status in front of Hou Donggui.
The main reason why he came to ask Hou Donggui for help was because Ma Chengshu had a certain understanding of his temperament and felt that he would not reject her.
"Mr. Ma, I'm really sorry. I really can't help you with this matter."
"Help me check my wealth and career? I'm not good at this. My understanding of this aspect is very limited."
"You can go to the street and find any blind fortune teller. They are probably much better at this than me."
Smiling bitterly and shaking his head, Hou Donggui declined politely.
Not to mention now that he has lost all his magic power, even when he is still intact, he still has a black eye when it comes to fortune telling.
"Master Hou, can you give me an explanation?"
I glanced at my son Ma Xiaoteng and saw that he seemed very reserved. He was sitting on the sofa and twisting around, not paying much attention to this side.
Ma Chengshu deliberately moved closer to Hou Donggui, lowered his voice and whispered.
"Okay!" After hesitating for a while, Hou Donggui nodded and responded.
If there are two strangers, one stays in the living room and the other lets him take a step to talk, he may suspect that the other party has ulterior motives.
Although the Ma Chengshu in front of me is not yet a high-ranking official, he still has some status!
Go out and talk to him and let his son Ma Xiaoteng stay here. They can't have any other intentions.
"Xiao Teng, please sit down in the living room for a while."
"I have some personal matters. I want to go outside and have a casual chat with Master Hou!"
Seeing Hou Donggui nodding in agreement, Ma Chengshu greeted his son, and he and Hou Donggui walked directly to the yard outside the living room.
"This boy in our family has heard of your reputation, Master Hou, and admires you very much!"
"When I decided to come here and seek help from you, that kid and I had an agreement."
"If you say that he has poor financial luck and is not the material to start a business, he can just sit back and work at that pager company from now on."
"On the contrary, I have to support him and give him capital to start his own business."
"Master, if you are not good at fortune-telling and divination, it doesn't matter. Just make up a few nonsense words to fool him and make him give up."
…
While talking to Hou Donggui, Ma Chengshu glanced at Ma Xiaoteng in the hall not far away from time to time.
The private suggestion he made to Hou Donggui was obviously not ethical.
Poor parents in the world, but he himself felt that his proposal was purely for the benefit of his son Ma Xiaoteng.
Regarding his boy's boring temperament, Ma Chengshu felt that there was no difference at all between giving him money to start a business and giving him money to waste money!
"Sorry, Mr. Ma, I really can't accept your proposal."
"Right now, I don't know how many people have been calling me a liar."
"Looking at fortune telling, this is an area I'm not good at at all. You want me to make up nonsense in this area to fool you?"
"Then wouldn't I really become a liar? I'm sorry, I really can't do such a thing that goes against my conscience!"
Hou Donggui's head shook like a rattle!
The tone of his words was extremely firm.
It is his bottom line as a person not to talk nonsense and fool people. He will not have any room for negotiation on this kind of matter.
"Master, we are all already here, we can't just run away in vain without doing anything, right?"
"I asked you to fool my boy. This is not deception, it is a white lie."
"We have only known each other for a day or two. Can't you be kind and help me so that my boy can go to work peacefully and give up his ambition to start a business?"
…
Looking directly at Hou Donggui in front of him, Ma Chengshu was moved by his affection and reason. He spoke earnestly and pleaded for a long time.
From the first time he met Hou Donggui, he talked about it until now.
Hou Donggui, who originally wanted to banish the two of them directly, felt a little embarrassed by his words.
"Mr. Ma, a good friend of mine should be here soon."
"It's true that I know nothing about fortune telling."
"But my good friend is very straight-forward and can make a fortune. He is very capable in this regard."
"You and your son can stay with me for a while."
"After my good friend comes, if you really want to know how my master's fortune and career are? You can go and ask him directly."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether you can convince him to take action depends on your own abilities."
"Also, let me remind you that if you ask him to help you predict your fortune and career, the price will definitely be high."
"If you really want to ask him for help, you have to be mentally prepared for this."
After hesitating for a moment, Hou Donggui let out a long sigh, then spoke and suggested.
"Master, it's great that you have such a good friend!"
"It's better to choose the right day than to hit it. This time, I took advantage of my business trip to Xiangjiang to bring Xiao Teng to visit you. It seems that I really came to the right place!"
Hearing what Hou Donggui said, Ma Chengshu was overjoyed, and he quickly spoke and responded.
My little boy wants to quit his job and start a business all day long, which makes him extremely annoyed.
After all, if that kid fails in starting his business, he needs other members to foot the bill.
His money didn’t come from the strong wind!
Although he was the deputy commander-in-chief in the construction of the Shencheng port and his income was not bad, the kid in his family had made a fortune and couldn't withstand a few twists and turns from him!
Is that expert Hou Donggui talking about fortune telling really effective?
The result of the divination calculation was good, and he was asked to pay for it, and he accepted it!
If the result is not good, my kid will probably give up after listening to that expert’s words!
After getting satisfactory results from Hou Donggui, the two chatted and were about to go back to the living room.
"Brother Hou, are you at home?" shouted outside the villa, and then, Chen Hai's figure appeared at the gate and walked slowly towards this side.
