Chapter 45

"Uncle Ye."

Chunan squinted his eyes and smiled, greeting him.

At this moment, he clearly saw a young man with a calm, even somewhat arrogant expression, sitting in a boss chair with his legs crossed, beside Uncle Ye.

This young man looked handsome, with a hint of nobility in his features, a natural nobility. According to the face-reading techniques of the Chu family, this was the typical appearance of someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

However...

Chunan felt that he couldn't see the young man's face too clearly.

"How strange. Although my current level is far from fully understanding our Chu family's face-reading techniques, simple 'judging a person by their appearance' shouldn't be a problem. Why is there a faint, peculiar mist in this young man's face, making it hard for me to see through?"

Chunan knew very well that there were several taboos in face-reading. When these taboos were involved, it was impossible to penetrate them without expending some luck and energy.

First, the person had used similar esoteric techniques to alter their own fortune, meaning they had encountered a peer or someone protected by a peer. Their face was hard to truly see through because they had a special fortune array on them.

Second, one couldn't read their own face, which was the most typical taboo, challenging the authority of fate, the greatest taboo.

Third, those closely related to oneself, such as if Chunan's parents were still alive, he would find it difficult to read their faces. Because they were his relatives, their lives were closely linked, influencing each other, indirectly revealing his own fortune, which was also forbidden. This included very close friends and lovers, who were often also hard to read.

"Could it be... this young man has some high-level mentor behind him?"

Chunan could tell that this young man definitely didn't know feng shui or face-reading techniques.

"Hmm? His cheekbones are subtly raised, hinting at a sharpness!!" Chunan smiled as he walked towards Uncle Ye, and his peripheral vision continued to observe the young man's face, feeling secretly alarmed!

"This is the face of someone destined to meet a noble person! —— Already at this status, he still needs to meet a noble person?" Chunan found it increasingly hard to see through this young man's face.

In fact, at a glance, the young man's face was quite straightforward. Just by his appearance and aura, Chunan could determine that he was a young man from a noble family, used to a life of luxury. His character was a mix of good and evil, not a great good person, nor a great evil person. He was born with a noble aura, and at his level, he was quite ordinary. In high society, it would be hard for him to become a great figure.

But with the face of someone destined to meet a noble person, it was a different story.

It was vaguely predetermined that this young man would meet a noble person in his future, and this noble person would play a significant role in his life.

This might sound a bit mystical, but let's use an example from the Three Kingdoms period. Liu, Guan, and Zhang, the three brothers of Peach Garden, their faces complemented each other. Liu Bei had the face of an emperor, Guan and Zhang were brave and loyal. The three brothers would achieve extraordinary success.

Their faces seemed unrelated, but they supported each other, closely connected.

Chunan had never seen such a face before... He found it interesting and decided to smile slightly at the young man as a test.

But he didn't expect the young man to squint his eyes and look at Chunan with a hint of disdain and contempt, though these emotions were deeply hidden. Chunan could clearly sense them.

Ha, this is a self-important young man.

"Little Chu, come, let me introduce you. This is the third son of the Zhao family, Zhao Zihong, from Zhao International."

"Mr. Zhao, this is the Little Chu I mentioned to you, Chunan. It was thanks to his warning that our Ye Pharmaceutical ultimately avoided disaster."

"Uh..."

Chunan's forehead instantly had three black lines when he heard Ye Shengge's introduction... So this was who it was! The third son of the Zhao family, who was almost turned into Dongfang Bubai by Li Mengru's kick?!

Thinking of this, Chunan subconsciously smiled and glanced at him.

Seeing Chunan's subtle smile and glance, the third son of the Zhao family immediately frowned, feeling uncomfortable.

"Mr. Zhao, hello." Out of politeness, Chunan extended his hand.

But the young master Zhao didn't bother to extend his hand to shake, instead, he snorted coldly, "Hmph, a mere charlatan, and you want to shake hands with this young master?"

"Uh... Mr. Zhao... How can Little Chu be a charlatan, you..." Ye Shengge was immediately embarrassed. Chunan was invited by him, but he was insulted as soon as he arrived, which was really...

Chunan, however, smiled at Ye Shengge and said, "Ha, Uncle Ye, it's fine. He's right; most so-called feng shui masters are charlatans. Mr. Zhao, seeing me so young, naturally assumes I have no skills, which is quite normal. I guess Uncle Ye called me here today because Uncle Ye mentioned me to Mr. Zhao, who became interested and wanted to meet me. From this, it's clear that Mr. Zhao has met many so-called feng shui masters and has seen many charlatans, making it hard for him to trust a young man like me who doesn't even meet the age requirement. Am I right, Mr. Zhao?"

As he spoke, Chunan looked at Mr. Zhao.

"Ha." Hearing this, Zhao Zihong paused for a moment, then smiled, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at reading people. —— Oh, almost forgot, reading people and deducing words are basic skills in your line of work. —— Do you know why I don't want to talk to you much?"

Chunan smiled and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Zhao."

"Because, the more I interact with you and other so-called feng shui masters, the more information you can gather from my words. After some interaction, you can deduce my personality and my current emotional state, whether good or bad, and use this to guess whether I am in a favorable or unfavorable situation. You can also make some trivial, common-sense conclusions through indirect questioning to gain my trust."

"Oh? How so?"

"For example, if you say you need to calculate my eight characters and need paper and pen, but you came in a hurry and didn't bring them, I would have to ask the butler to get them. Paper and pen are naturally in the study. You can then calculate the time it takes for the butler to go and return, deducing the distance between the study and here. Then, you would casually tell me, 'Mr. Zhao, I suggest you move your study. The location of your study seriously affects your fortune.'"
