"Sir, I wonder if the eight-character fortune I left for you before has been of any help?"
Chunan smiled slightly and sat down naturally.
"It has been of great help! It has been of tremendous help."
Mr. Ye was a middle-aged man with a lot of poise. He smiled broadly, looking very kind and gentle, without any sharpness. However, Chunan could see that he had a strong presence, a typical shrewd businessman, but also a rather honest one. At least, Mr. Ye's attitude towards Chunan at this moment was very sincere.
You must understand, many businessmen, especially those who have built their businesses from scratch, are often the most shrewd, with a meticulous attitude that sometimes reaches an unbearable level.
But Mr. Ye was not like that; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to find Chunan.
"Sir, I haven't had the pleasure of knowing your name yet?"
"My name is Ye, my full name is Ye Shengge. I am in the pharmaceutical industry."
"The pharmaceutical industry?" Chunan smiled upon hearing this. "Mr. Ye, in that case, my profession has some connection with yours."
"Oh? Xiao Chu, are you also in this industry? I thought... you were someone who could read faces..."
Out of respect, Ye Shengge did not investigate Chunan too deeply, only knowing that he was a student at Jinghua University and his dorm room number. He did not know that Chunan was studying medicine at Jinghua University. The other three people who accompanied Chunan to the Fengtian International Hotel that day were his roommates, so Ye Shengge only found out Chunan's dorm room number through this clue.
"Hehe, face reading is a tradition passed down in my family, and I am currently studying medicine at Jinghua University. Strictly speaking, traditional Chinese medicine is my main profession. As you know, although face reading has a history of thousands of years in China, it is generally considered a feudal superstition." Chunan smiled faintly.
But Ye Shengge didn't like this statement: "What feudal superstition? This is all due to the one-sided views of young people today who worship foreign things and have forgotten many of our ancestors' traditions. Feng Shui and face reading have a history of thousands of years in our country. In many dynasties, feng shui masters even held positions as high as prime ministers. Can this be called feudal superstition? If it is, it would be equivalent to denying thousands of years of Chinese civilization. Could it be that our ancestors, after thousands of years of development, could not see through a false thing and still venerated it?"
Hearing Ye Shengge's words, Chunan felt a warm surge of emotion.
Hehe, it's rare to find someone willing to defend the traditional Chinese feng shui and face reading these days.
"This can't be blamed on modern people. After all, we are in a materialistic and technological era, where materialism has long surpassed idealism. In the past, materialism and idealism were always complementary. People's prejudices against feng shui and face reading are mainly due to the fact that these traditions have been exploited and discredited by unscrupulous charlatans. Moreover, feng shui and face reading have indeed declined today. There are not many people in the world who truly understand them." Chunan sighed helplessly, feeling the weight of being one of the few young people who still possess this traditional skill.
"Hehe, Xiao Chu, don't say that. At least, you understand it quite well, right?" Ye Shengge smiled and comforted him.
Chunan smiled awkwardly: "I haven't reached that level yet; I only know the basics. My grandfather told me that to fully master our family's tradition, one needs not only insight but also good fortune."
"Oh? Family tradition? Then your family..."
Before Ye Shengge could finish, Chunan smiled slightly: "There is no one else in my family, just me."
"Uh..." Ye Shengge was taken aback, his heart trembling...
Looking at Chunan's smile, he thought to himself—what a strong child, and... a child with a hard life, to have been admitted to the medical department of Jinghua University, that's impressive.
Chunan's attire was very simple, and it was hard to tell how well-off his life was. Such a self-reliant, kind, and optimistic child is rare in today's society.
"Sorry, Xiao Chu, I just finished a business meeting with a client today, so I didn't prepare anything." Ye Shengge said, then took out a bank card from his wallet, "There is one million in this bank card, as a token of my gratitude for saving my entire family business. I feel ashamed, but my company is currently short on funds, so I can't offer more at the moment. Please, you must accept it!"
"Uh..."
Chunan was taken aback by the bank card being pushed towards him, his heart suddenly racing!
Goodness! What's going on? Do rich people always give so generously? One million, just like that?!
As a poor guy who had just taken a job with an annual salary of one million but hadn't received any pay yet, one million was a huge temptation for Chunan! One million... how many patients would I need to see to earn that much?
He was amazed, but Chunan did not really accept it.
"Mr. Ye, you are too kind. I cannot accept this money." Chunan's eyes were unusually firm, his words leaving no room for argument.
"..."
Chunan pushed the bank card back, and Ye Shengge's mind was filled with thoughts.
To be honest, if Chunan had accepted the one million, his impression of him would have been greatly diminished.
Actually, Chunan really wanted the one million. Who doesn't need money? But... Chunan deeply understood the concept of cause and effect. When he planted that seed, it wasn't just for the money. When he learned that Ye Shengge was in the pharmaceutical industry, he instinctively felt that this was a meeting arranged by heaven. If they could become acquainted, the future significance would far exceed one million.
Money will eventually depreciate.
But opportunity is priceless.
Taking a deep breath, looking at Chunan's serious expression, Ye Shengge spoke the words he had been hiding in his heart.
"I know giving money directly is too vulgar. Hehe, actually, I have... another good suggestion. I wonder if Xiao Chu is interested?"
"Hehe, Mr. Ye, please go ahead."
"Besides knowing feng shui and face reading, you are also a doctor, right? Coincidentally, I have many connections in this field. The industry is currently lukewarm, but students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine often find it the hardest to get internship opportunities. Recently, a company that is a partner of ours has established a medical beauty institution that uses traditional Chinese medicine methods such as herbal steam and acupuncture. I think I can introduce you to work there." Ye Shengge paused and smiled, "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!"
"Oh?" Chunan's heart skipped a beat.
Before he could speak, Ye Shengge took out a business card, "This is it, Hanliu Hall. The address and the store manager's phone number are on it. When you get there, just say you are a friend of Ye Shengge."
Hmm?!!!—Han... Hanliu Hall?!
Chunan's heart suddenly raced!—Cause and effect! Cause and effect!! Grandfather was right, one must not be blinded by short-term gains. Only by maintaining one's integrity can one truly receive the rewards!! This is the true cause and effect!!
