Chapter 64

When Yu Qingying said this, Wang Xiaolin and Xu Zhijun suddenly remembered how Tang Zhendong knew that their editor-in-chief would return halfway through the trip. This was something even the chief editor, who had a good relationship with the editor-in-chief and was the most informed about the editor-in-chief's movements, didn't know. How could Tang Zhendong know?

Besides, even if he knew, the editor-in-chief had already boarded the ship, and the ship had already set sail halfway. Even if he were a god, he wouldn't have predicted that the ship would turn back halfway. This was clearly impossible!

"Quick, tell us how you knew."

"Haha, it's a secret. Remember, you promised me one condition, and you have to agree to it no matter what." Tang Zhendong winked at Yu Qingying, his eyes as evil as they could be.

However, Yu Qingying wasn't as angry as expected; instead, she lowered her head shyly.

"Quick, tell us how you knew the editor-in-chief would get off the ship halfway."

"I read it from his face." Seeing that Wang Xiaolin and Xu Zhijun were staring at him just like Yu Qingying, Tang Zhendong had to tell the truth.

"You can read faces? Don't be ridiculous." Yu Qingying clearly didn't believe him, and seeing that she didn't believe him, Tang Zhendong didn't continue.

In fact, not only did Yu Qingying not believe him, but Wang Xiaolin and Xu Zhijun also felt that Tang Zhendong was holding back some information, possibly because he had a special relationship with the editor-in-chief that he didn't want others to know.

After Xu Zhijun and Wang Xiaolin left, Yu Qingying still wouldn't let it go and insisted on finding out how Tang Zhendong knew that their editor-in-chief would get off the ship halfway.

"The problem you should be considering now isn't how the editor-in-chief got off the ship, but what condition I will ask you to agree to. If the condition I ask for is something you can't do, how will you fulfill your promise?"

"I don't care. I only agreed to what I can do. If I can't do it, what's the point of your condition?" Yu Qingying was still arguing.

"Haha, just kidding. If I randomly ask for something you can do, but you tell me you can't, then your promise will never be fulfilled, right?"

"Alright, alright. If I can do it, I will. But you can't deliberately ask for something I can't do."

"Alright, it's a deal. Now, tell me how you knew our editor-in-chief would get off the ship halfway. Do you know our editor-in-chief? I wonder why our stern editor-in-chief was smiling when he met you this morning. Come on, tell the truth, or I'll have to use force." Yu Qingying brought her thumb and index finger together, making a threatening gesture.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell the truth. I really can read faces. Your editor-in-chief has uneven and dark-colored areas on his Sun and Moon palaces, especially on the left side. The Sun and Moon palaces indicate the health of one's parents, with the left side for the father and the right for the mother. The dark color on the left side clearly indicates that his father is in poor health, possibly even in danger. When we were at the dock, Editor Hu was talking to us happily, clearly unaware of his father's condition. From the look of his life palace, he is a very filial person. Therefore, I deduced that when he suddenly heard about his father's illness, he would return home. As the editor-in-chief, he has the authority to order the ship to return. Do you understand now?"

Yu Qingying wasn't the first time she heard Tang Zhendong's logical analysis; she had long been aware of his intelligence. However, she hadn't expected that he would suddenly become a face reader.

"Really, you read it from his face?"

"Haha, of course. Do you really think I know your editor-in-chief?"

"I don't care if you know him or not. You have to teach me how to read faces. I want to learn."

"Haha, sure. If you want to learn, I can teach you some basics. Show me your palm."

Tang Zhendong gently held Yu Qingying's hand and pointed out which line was the life line, which was the love line, and which was the career line. He also explained what the raised flesh on the fingertips represented and what it meant when the fingers were spread or closed.

"Got it?"

"Almost. Is it also based on the principle of left for men and right for women?"

"Many aspects of face reading follow the principle of left for men and right for women, but in palm reading, it's best to look at both hands together for accuracy."

Then, Tang Zhendong explained the positions and characteristics of the twelve palaces on the face. During the forty-minute journey to Mount Kongtong Island, Yu Qingying remembered most of what Tang Zhendong said.

Mount Kongtong Island is a small island where the residents still maintain a simple lifestyle, working from dawn to dusk. The island didn't have electricity until about ten years ago, and now it enjoys modern life. Over 90% of the residents are fishermen, but with the rise of tourism and the decline of fish resources, many have started operating guesthouses and fishing-themed entertainment. The traditional fishing village is undergoing a transformation.

Since there are no dedicated hotels on the island, each household operates a family guesthouse. Although they are simple, they are warm and provide both accommodation and meals. The newspaper office had already contacted the island before the trip, reserving rooms for the number of people coming. The island has about a hundred households, each with three to eight rooms. With about six hundred people from the newspaper office, two people per room, almost all the rooms on Mount Kongtong Island were booked.

"Come on, Qingying, we'll share a room. Let them two share a room." Wang Xiaolin and Yu Qingying were the closest, and although Wang Xiaolin and Xu Zhijun were dating, they were just at the beginning and hadn't reached the point of sharing a room. Yu Qingying and Tang Zhendong hadn't established a relationship either, so they couldn't share a room. Although Yu Qingying had a faint hope, if they were alone, they could share a room, but with so many colleagues from the newspaper office, if they shared a room, the news would spread by lunchtime, even reaching the colleagues on duty at the newspaper office.

The newspaper office is always at the center of public attention, and this matter involves the newspaper's beauty, so it would be hard not to become a hot topic. However, it was perfect that Wang Xiaolin and Yu Qingying shared a room, and Tang Zhendong and Xu Zhijun each had their own, with the rooms adjacent.

Seeing Xu Zhijun's gloomy face, Tang Zhendong found it somewhat amusing, knowing that Xu Zhijun's plan hadn't worked. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
