I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan Chapter 477 - 405: Deserved2

"Do you know where he moved to?"

The security captain said, "Yes, my cousin even had his fortune told there."

ng Kexi pondered for a mont. "Prepare the car. I want to see for myself just how skilled this fortune teller really is!"

「...」

Inside the mall, Xia Liang calmly perford fortune-telling. At his side, Old Liu was leading his n to set up rows of shelves.

"Heavenly Master, are we selling things in the shop too?"

"Items to protect the ho? Or talismans?"

"What’s in this jade box?"

"Just look at this box—it’s clearly no ordinary item. The contents must be incredible!" the custors asked curiously.

Su Qianyun and Xu Wanying placed the exquisite jade boxes onto the shelves one by one, instantly making the shop look much more substantial.

Seeing the confusion on the custors’ faces, Xia Liang instructed the two won, "Rember, these jade boxes must not be opened, or there will be trouble!"

Inside, apart from Peace Charms, half of the contents were Ice Heart Talismans. The cooling capacity of a single Ice Heart Talisman was equivalent to a portable air conditioner. If dozens were opened at once, the temperature inside the shop would likely plumt to freezing in an instant. The two won understood the gravity of the situation and nodded quickly.

Just then, a greasy-faced ng Kexi arrived at Wanlai Plaza.

"So many people!?"

ng Kexi was taken aback by the bustling crowd. After all, Wanlai Plaza’s location wasn’t considered very good. To have so many custors was far beyond his expectations.

When he approached Xia Liang’s shop, he was utterly bewildered.

Just how many people are here?

A long line of custors snaked out from the door.

A fortune teller managed to attract such a huge crowd? It’s a miracle!

ng Kexi murmured softly, barely suppressing his astonishnt as he slowly walked inside. Xia Liang was busy telling a custor’s fortune and didn’t even look up when ng Kexi arrived.

"If you want a reading, please line up outside. If you’re here for sothing else, I’m not seeing anyone at the mont."

ng Kexi’s face darkened upon hearing this. Being turned away right at the door would annoy anyone. However, Xia Liang’s simple words also made him pause.

Could he have guessed why I’m here?

ng Kexi had never believed in such things. He hadn’t co to see Xia Liang for a reading, but to talk business. Now, seeing the stream of custors in front of the shop, he began to take Xia Liang seriously.

It seems the security captain was right. If we could get him to set up a stall in the tourist area, he could really drive up visitor traffic. The longer he stays, the greater the profits!

ng Kexi’s mind raced, and he quickly suppressed his slight annoyance. Putting on a broad smile, he said, "Master Xia Tian, I’d like a reading."

With that, he dutifully went outside to join the back of the line.

However, after only an hour, ng Kexi’s legs began to feel numb. He was overweight and accustod to a life of luxury; when had he ever stood for so long? Looking ahead, it seed the line had barely gotten any shorter.

Good heavens, at this rate, the line won’t be finished by tonight! Is his business really this good?

ng Kexi forced himself to stay alert. By now, several new people had lined up behind him. If he left to rest, he’d have to start all over again.

Four or five hours passed.

ng Kexi’s legs felt as if they were filled with lead. At this point, however, only one custor remained in front of him. Soon, that custor paid and left, completely satisfied.

ng Kexi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Xia Liang waved his hand lazily.

"Closing ti. Co back tomorrow!"

ng Kexi’s expression soured. "Mister Xia, you aren’t ssing with , are you?"

Even a saint has his limits, let alone a man like ng Kexi.

Xia Liang smiled faintly. "President ng, you weren’t here for a reading in the first place. We’re both just playing a part, aren’t we?"

ng Kexi inhaled sharply. My intentions were read so clearly by this young man in his early twenties?

At that mont, ng Kexi completely shed his dismissive attitude. "Mister Xia, would you perhaps consider visiting my Shuanglong Taoist Temple in the scenic area?"

Old Liu, who had been about to leave, stopped in his tracks and perked up his ears.

This fatso seems to be poaching talent...

At that thought, Old Liu grew wary.

Xia Liang just smiled faintly. "I’m not particularly interested."

ng Kexi stood up and extended a hand to Old Liu. "Are you the person in charge of this mall?"

Old Liu was slightly taken aback but, out of courtesy, replied, "Yes. My na is Liu Zhendong."

"ng Kexi," he stated his na with a slight nod.

Old Liu’s expression changed. "The developer of Longhu Mountain?"

His sense of alarm grew. ng Kexi was far more powerful than him; they weren’t in the sa league financially. A worried thought crossed Old Liu’s mind.

This fatso must have co specifically for Master Xia Tian...

ng Kexi chuckled and turned back to Xia Liang. "Mister Xia, would you be willing to co to Longhu Mountain? I’m prepared to build you your own Taoist temple, several tis larger than this shop."

Old Liu panicked. The offer was so tempting that even he was moved! "Master Xia Tian, I... I, Old Liu, am willing..." he blurted out.

Before he could finish, Xia Liang raised a hand slightly, stopping him. He looked at ng Kexi.

"Boss ng, I believe I’ve already told you that I only do fortune-telling. For now, I’m not taking on any other business."

ng Kexi’s face stiffened slightly before he forced a smile. "In that case, I’ll have a reading."

He could see that no deal would be struck today. It was better to leave a good impression on Xia Liang to make it easier to recruit him later.

As he said this, ng Kexi gave a faint smile and transferred the paynt to Xia Liang. Xia Liang glanced at him, then looked away.

ng Kexi asked, "How is it, Mister Xia?"

Xia Liang shook his head slightly. "You face a minor disaster, but it shouldn’t be a major problem."

"A minor disaster?" ng Kexi scoffed inwardly. In his view, there was nothing that money couldn’t solve.

Although he was dismissive, his expression showed no disrespect. After all, in his eyes, Xia Liang was a living cash cow. It was best not to offend him if he could help it.

ng Kexi feigned curiosity. "And what might this minor disaster be?"

Xia Liang shook his head, not answering the question directly. "Boss ng, if you believe , go back and shut down the cliff swing attraction in your scenic area. Otherwise, there will be an accident within two days."

"The cliff swing?" ng Kexi frowned.

He had imported that attraction from abroad. As soon as it launched, it received rave reviews from tourists. Longhu Mountain, being the first scenic spot in the country with a cliff swing, had beco a must-visit destination for all sorts of internet celebrities.

Before that, the consurs at Longhu Mountain were mostly middle-aged and elderly people who believed in gods and Buddhas, with the occasional pious n and won seeking blessings for marriage or their future. Ultimately, however, the younger demographic was sowhat lacking. But since the introduction of these new projects, the park had attracted many thrill-seeking young people, further boosting consumption at the scenic area.

The cliff swing had beco one of Longhu Mountain’s most popular attractions.

"Well... alright, I understand." ng Kexi nodded and stood up. "Mister Xia, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll pay another visit so other day."

Xia Liang waved him off, and ng Kexi turned and left.

Old Liu chuckled. "Master Xia Tian, you’ve indirectly saved ng Kexi! These days, you can’t afford the slightest negligence with those park facilities. Once an accident happens and gets posted online, the tourist traffic for that scenic spot will plumt."

Xia Liang listened and shook his head slightly. "No," he said, "it will still happen."
