Chapter 372 - You Will Be Very Unlucky This Year
Chapter 372: You Will Be Very Unlucky This Year
Situ Lei walked over and stood by the window. He placed a hand on the car and asked Tang Li, “Tang Li, I heard that you’re very good at fortune-telling. Can you read my fortune?”
“You want to read fortunes?” Tang Li sized up Situ Lei. His eyes were slightly sunken and his forehead was dark. One look and one could tell that he would be unlucky.
However, when she thought that this person was about to make her company famous, her tone became gentler. “If you want me to read your fortune, you’ll need to pay 200,000 yuan. If you’re willing to pay, I’ll read your fortune.”
“Only two hundred thousand?!” Situ Lei looked incredulous. He heard a few days ago from Situ Yueqin that Tang Li asked her for five million.
Tang Li seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. The corners of her lips curled up as she said, “The money I charge for everyone’s fortune-telling is different. I’ll charge you 200,000. Do you want it or not? This is a rare opportunity. If you look for me next time, it’ll start from a million.”
Situ Lei suddenly felt that he had made a fortune. 200,000 yuan was just a few days of pocket money to him. “Yes, I want.”
With that, he took out his phone. “Cash or card?”
“Card.” Tang Li also took out her phone.
Situ Lei gave Tang Li two hundred thousand without batting an eye.
Tang Li put away her phone and asked, “Tell me, what do you want me to read?”
Situ Lei cut to the chase, “How’s my luck this year? Is there a chance for me to become the head of the Situ family?”
“You asked two questions. Which one do you want me to answer?”
Situ Lei was stunned. In the next second, he suddenly felt that he was swindled. “You mean 200,000 yuan for every question I ask?”
“Of course, you are telling me that you think with 200,000, you can ask tons of questions, are you?”
Situ Lei held back his displeasure and said, “Alright, then answer one question.”
“Which question?”
Situ Lei thought for a moment. The possibility of him becoming the head of the family was not high. He wanted to know if he could get lucky this year. “Read my luck this year.”
Tang Li nodded and took out a piece of talisman from her pocket. She waved the talisman in front of Situ Lei and then three words appeared on it. “The shortest straw.”
When Situ Lei saw these three words, his expression changed. “What do these three words mean?”
“It means that you’ll be very unlucky this year.”
“How is that possible!” Situ Lei did not believe it at all. “How can I be unlucky?”
He felt that Tang Li was a liar. “Tang Li, are your fortune-telling skills that bad? Let me tell you, since you’ve taken my money, if I’m not unlucky this year, you’ll ruin your reputation.”
“Sure,” Tang Li said. “If you’re not unlucky, not only will I return the 200,000 yuan to you, but I’ll also give you 20 million yuan as compensation.”
“Really?”
Situ Lei felt that 20 million was already waving at him. He sneered, “Tang Li, then get 20 million ready. I’ll definitely come after you at the end of the year.”
With that, he turned around and walked back to his car.
When Tang Li passed by his car, she kindly reminded him, “I advise you to forgive people when you can. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
What answered her was Situ Lei’s middle finger.
After Situ Lei drove the car out of the gate, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tang Li was a liar. He stopped the car and took out his phone to call his henchman. “How’s the company that hired Lu Cong?”
He wanted to vent his anger.
“Er… Well…”
Hearing that, Situ Lei knew that he failed to carry out the task. He said with displeasure, “You can’t even handle a small company that hasn’t even started yet! What’s the use of you then?!”
Boss, don’t be angry! I got someone to investigate that company. It turns out that the person behind that company has a powerful background. That’s why I don’t dare to make any moves.”
“How powerful? More powerful than me?” Situ Lei said angrily, “No matter who that person is, go and smash the company.”
After a moment of silence, the henchman replied, “Yes, yes, yes. I heard that the company will open this Saturday. Boss, how do you think we should deal with them?”
“Spread out the rumor that Lu Cong is a pervert and he is recruited by a company. Kick them all out of the Imperial Capital.”
“Oh, okay! Okay! I’ll do it now.”
After hanging up, Situ Lei was satisfied. Only then did he call his mistress. “Baby, where are you? I’ll come find you.”
His mistress gave him the address, and Situ Lei headed straight out.
In less than two hours, two hot headlines suddenly popped up in social media.
[The pervert, Lu XX, didn’t disappear. Instead, he signed a contract with an entertainment company that was about to open.]
[Lu XX was signed by Dream Realization Entertainment Co., Ltd. This company will open on Saturday. A company that signs Lu XX is definitely not doing proper business.]
It just so happened that recently, the drama Situ Lei’s mistress acted in had gone viral. As soon as the two headlines were released, she posted a post at the same time: “If that kind of person can still work in this business, how many female celebrities and singers will be targeted by him in the future? I call on the entire circle to resist the opening of this entertainment company called ‘Dream Realization’.”
After that, Dream Realization instantly became the No. 1 headline.
Many people started to look into it, wanting to find out who the boss of Dream Realization was. Some people even looked up the company address of Dream Realization.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could only find the names of the managers in the company. They could not find out who the boss was at all. Even if they found the building where Dream Realization was, when they saw a group of bodyguards holding electric batons, they shrunk back.
Then, everyone started to guess who the boss of Dream Realization was.
“Is he the young master of a rich family?”
“It’s very likely. Otherwise, why can’t we find out anything about him?”
Humph, even if he is from a rich family, with us working together, we can definitely make his company shut down.”
“That’s right. Why should we be afraid?”
“Everyone, quickly go and report it to the authorities. Tell them that this company is actually doing a pimping business.”
“Yes, yes. As long as everyone reports, the higher-ups will take it seriously and investigate.”
…
The higher-ups did take it seriously.
At noon, Tang Li received a call from Tang Zitong. She said anxiously, “Fourth Sister, I just received a call from the higher-ups. They said that our company has been reported by many people to be a pimp company.”
Tang Li, “Got it. I’ll handle this.”
