This white bead has a diameter of about four centimeters, and it is smooth and round, perfectly spherical with no flaws. Most importantly, this white bead can emit a faint white light, which can be seen even during the day.
In fact, if you just look at it, anyone would think it was just a white pearl. However, in reality, it is a miraculous water-repelling bead that defies the laws of nature.
The black bead in Tang Zhendong's hand also emitted a black, shiny light, intertwining with the white light of the white bead. The entire room was bathed in a beautiful, black, shiny glow.
"Too beautiful!" Yu Qingying sincerely praised.
"Put it away, let's go out and play, okay?"
Tang Zhendong casually pulled Yu Qingying's hand, and she held the smooth white bead in her hand. "Wait, I'll put it away." Yu Qingying wrapped the white bead and put it in her bag. "By the way, where did you get this? Is it a pearl?"
"You can think of it as a night pearl. When you get home, you can put it in water to see. It's even more beautiful in water."
Yu Qingying just listened, but she couldn't bear to put the bead in water, so she didn't take it seriously and didn't ask further. Her heart was filled with immense happiness. Tang Zhendong had given her such a precious thing, and he kept one for himself, which meant a lot. This showed that Tang Zhendong cared about her deeply, which was what made Yu Qingying the happiest.
Feeling immensely happy, Yu Qingying found everything around her to be very cute and beautiful. Many of their newspaper colleagues who were returning by boat that afternoon were taking photos by the sea.
Tang Zhendong and Yu Qingying truly enjoyed the pure pleasure of playing. This trip to Kongtong was not in vain. Tang Zhendong gained a lot, not just the precious Yin-Yang water-repelling beads, but also the five thousand yuan he earned from the large stone grouper, which made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
The most precious part of this trip was not the two priceless Yin-Yang water-repelling beads, but the love he gained from Yu Qingying.
On the return boat, Tang Zhendong and Yu Qingying were enjoying the sea breeze at the stern. Xu Zhijun, the chief editor, was chatting with his director, "Director, what happened to the editor-in-chief? Why did he suddenly return?"
Xu Zhijun had always found it strange that Tang Zhendong had guessed the editor-in-chief's whereabouts. Especially after hearing Wang Xiaolin's recount of Yu Qingying's words: "The editor-in-chief's father passed away. Tang Zhendong saw the dark aura around Hu Editor-in-Chief's parents and, based on the principle of the father on the left and the mother on the right, concluded that the editor-in-chief's father was either seriously ill or had passed away."
In fact, Yu Qingying had no intention of boasting or praising Tang Zhendong when she told Wang Xiaolin. She was simply sharing something new she had learned with her good friend.
In other words, Yu Qingying didn't take the feng shui and physiognomy that Tang Zhendong told her seriously; she just thought it was a fun thing.
Yu Qingying was born in a new society and grew up under the red flag, having received many years of materialist education. She was a materialist at heart and didn't believe in things like feng shui and physiognomy. However, she learned it in detail from Tang Zhendong and took it seriously, but only as a fun thing.
So, when Yu Qingying and Wang Xiaolin were in the same room at night, she couldn't help but discuss it with Wang Xiaolin, using her limited knowledge of physiognomy to examine Wang Xiaolin, and then casually mentioned Tang Zhendong's prediction about Hu Wenxuan's sudden return.
Since Tang Zhendong and Yu Qingying had made a bet, and Wang Xiaolin was one of the parties involved and the judge, she also thought that Tang Zhendong had heard about the editor-in-chief's situation in advance, which is why he knew about the editor-in-chief's whereabouts. However, after hearing Yu Qingying's recount of Tang Zhendong's prediction, she was also surprised.
Surprised, she told Xu Zhijun as a joke.
Xu Zhijun took it to heart. When he was with Wang Xuebin, his mentor, he asked if he knew why the editor-in-chief had returned, just out of curiosity.
"Ah, life is unpredictable. The editor-in-chief's father passed away suddenly, so he had to rush back. Let's go visit the editor-in-chief's home later."
When Wang Xuebin said "visit," he meant to bring gifts, money, for both happy and sad occasions, which is a way of socializing and gaining the favor of superiors. Wang Xuebin and Xu Zhijun were very close, so he always reminded Xu Zhijun in such situations.
Xu Zhijun was startled by Wang Xuebin's words: This is too incredible. Could Tang Zhendong really predict the future and see things before they happen? Otherwise, how could he have known that the editor-in-chief's father had passed away when even the editor-in-chief himself didn't know?
"Xu, what are you thinking about?" Wang Xuebin pulled Xu Zhijun, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"Oh, Director, I'm fine. By the way, do you believe in precognition?"
"Come on, Xu, do you really believe in that? How is that possible? This is a materialist world, and precognition is superstition. How could you believe in that? Our party doesn't allow the promotion of superstition. Remember that."
"No, Director, it's just that yesterday morning, when we invited Piaowen Astronomy and the novel updates were faster! I was with Xiao Yu's friend, and he bet us that the editor-in-chief definitely wouldn't go to Kongtong Island. We didn't believe him, but just as we thought we were going to win, the boat turned back, and the editor-in-chief really didn't go to Kongtong Island. Later, I found out that he had predicted that the editor-in-chief's father would pass away and that he would definitely return. Director, isn't that strange?"
When Wang Xuebin heard Xu Zhijun's account, he was also stunned. This was clearly impossible. "Xu, are you sure he didn't know the editor-in-chief in advance?" After saying this, Wang Xuebin himself found it laughable: The editor-in-chief himself didn't know his father had passed away, so even if this person was familiar with the editor-in-chief, it was impossible for him to know something the editor-in-chief didn't. That didn't make sense!
Wang Xuebin pointed to Tang Zhendong and Yu Qingying, "Xu, are you talking about him?"
"Yes, Director, it's him. And yesterday, he caught a stone grouper weighing over four hundred pounds. The fishermen said the fish could capsize a boat, but he killed it bare-handed. The fish sold for sixty thousand yuan, and he gave ten thousand to the fisherman who rescued him, keeping fifty thousand for himself. This person is quite mysterious."
Xu Zhijun's words surprised Wang Xuebin. Both events were quite bizarre. He had heard about the large fish caught yesterday, but after Li the fisherman dropped off Tang Zhendong and Yu Qingying and others, he went to the city to sell the fish, so many people had heard about it but didn't have a direct impression of the four-hundred-pound fish.
The large fish could be considered a stroke of luck, a lucky find. But the editor-in-chief's father passing away was indeed quite mysterious. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
