Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

Chapter 117 The Feast at Hongmen

"You...you're not human?"

Master Zhou, his body trembling, pointed at An Lan.

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his lips were trembling.

Upon hearing this, Su Yurou immediately exploded.

"You're not human! Your whole family is not human!"

She jumped up and started cursing at Master Zhou.

"You big liar! Fortune telling is one thing, but what's with the insults? I've lived for almost thirty years and I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

If Lin Xuan hadn't stopped her, she would have kicked Master Zhou right away.

She looked just like a tigress, her eyes wide open.

Not to mention her, Xue Hong also stood up, very angry.

"Master Zhou, you're going too far! I trust you, but you can't..."

They can't be blamed for that.

If a so-called "master" comes along and says the company is facing a major disaster, or that the company's executives are inhuman, isn't that just asking for a beating?

Who wouldn't be angry in that situation?

But Master Zhou was also inwardly groaning.

How could I not know these tricks?

Initially, he simply wanted to make them tense up and create a sense of crisis before taking action himself to solve the problem and demonstrate his abilities.

He's used this tactic for decades, and it's always worked.

When wealthy people hear that there is a problem with the feng shui of their home, they immediately panic and wish they could worship the feng shui master.

But who knew that this General Manager Lin would completely ruin his own efforts!

With just a few words, he broke through the routine he was so proud of, and even casually set up a "golden and jade-filled hall".

How is he supposed to respond to that?

Who exactly is this young man?

Not to mention fortune telling...

He wiped away a bead of cold sweat, swallowed hard, and spoke with difficulty:

"Yes, I must have misread it. I must have been seeing things for a moment. Please forgive me, young lady!"

Lin Xuan smiled, and inwardly he thought more highly of the old man.

He does have some skills.

The fact that they could see the abnormality in An Lan meant that she wasn't a complete fraudster.

Although his skill level is limited, at least he has some real knowledge; he's not the kind of charlatan who spouts complete nonsense.

After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"Master, could you please tell my fortune again? What does my fate hold?"

Master Zhou shook his head vigorously, almost shaking off his goatee.

"No, no! This old man admits defeat today! Mr. Lin, I'm completely convinced! You are a true master; I was blind to your greatness!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and prepared to slip away.

"I will return the money you owe me, Mr. Xue, immediately, not a penny less! I... I just remembered I have something to attend to at home, so I must take my leave now! Goodbye, goodbye!"

As he spoke, Master Zhou quickly stood up, his long robe almost tripping over the chair. He staggered a couple of steps and walked out without looking back.

That speed was like someone fleeing for their life.

Lin Xuan smiled and did not stop him:

"Then I won't see you off, Master Zhou. Don't forget about the money; if it's not in your account within 24 hours, I might come to visit you."

"Definitely! Definitely!"

Master Zhou's figure disappeared outside the gate, running faster than a rabbit.

Su Yurou looked at Xue Hong speechlessly, hands on her hips:

"Mom, how could you believe such a liar?"

"This guy is even worse than those fortune tellers at street stalls! At least those stall owners know how to say something nice, but he just comes up and starts cursing!"

"Two hundred thousand!!"

Xue Hong blushed and rubbed her hands awkwardly, like a child who had done something wrong.

"No way... They were really good at it before, they were incredibly accurate in predicting your second aunt's family's fortunes. They said your second aunt's husband would suffer financial losses, and it came true within two days... Sigh, maybe I really did fall for their tricks!"

She sighed and waved her hand.

"Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. You guys go to work, I'm leaving now! I need to think carefully about how to tell your aunt about this when I get back. If she knows I've been scammed, she'll definitely laugh at me..."

After saying that, she was about to leave.

Lin Xuan called out to her, "Auntie, let me find someone to take you home."

As he spoke, he found a driver and arranged for Xue Hong to be taken back.

I even specifically told the driver to drive steadily and not to bump around.

This brought a smile back to Xue Hong's face.

My future son-in-law is so good to me!

He's sensible, considerate, and even knows fortune telling and feng shui. Where can you find a son-in-law like that?

After seeing Xue Hong off, Lin Xuan returned to the main hall.

After this little incident, Su Yurou and An Lan got busy.

They were very familiar with the company's operations and worked together seamlessly.

Su Yurou directed the workers in the renovation, explaining in detail where changes were needed and where modifications were required.

An Lan was on the other side, looking at documents, planning the company structure, and drafting various rules and regulations. Occasionally, she would look up and ask Su Yurou a few questions.

Two strong women, one decisive and efficient, the other calm and composed, arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, didn't understand anything and could only act as a hands-off manager.

He sat on the sofa in the lobby, scrolled through his phone for a while, and watched the workers coming and going. Feeling bored, he simply took out his phone and started playing games.

Halfway through the construction, the foreman came over and asked if he wanted to see the design drawings. He waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for General Manager Su."

The foreman left.

A little while later, someone came to ask about the system, and he continued to wave his hand: "Looking for General Manager An."

The employees left too.

Lin Xuan continued playing the game with a clear conscience, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Is this what it feels like to be a boss?

So cool!

Around noon, An Lan suddenly walked over.

She stood in front of Lin Xuan, backlit, tall and with a cool and aloof demeanor.

He was holding a folder in his hand, as if he had just finished processing some files.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke:

"There's a party tonight, would you like to come?"

"A party?" Lin Xuan put down his phone and looked up with some confusion.

They invited me to the party even though my company hasn't even registered yet?

Something's not right.

"Yes, Chen Mo invited me."

An Lan nodded, making a clean and straightforward decision.

"Him?" Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant.

"A trap?"

Given Chen Mo's petty nature, he's bound to cause some trouble at the party.

They'll either be humiliated or made to look bad; it's definitely not going to be a good thing.

He thought for a moment, then looked at An Lan: "Do you think it's necessary? Just like before, you're still the company's president, and I'll listen to you!"

An Lan was taken aback after hearing this, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She hadn't expected Lin Xuan to say that.

Given his personality, he shouldn't have volunteered for this kind of occasion. But he made the decision himself without any hesitation.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

I think I should go.

"Because many company bosses will be attending tonight's party, our new company wants to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuan interrupted her.

"If you say we'll go, we'll go! My greatest virtue is that I'm obedient! I'll listen to you!"
