Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 75. Arrogant Young People

Even if no one says anything to me about this, I feel that it is really too much. I have never been a person who is so sensitive about money. Could it be because of the influence of the silver-spotted angelfish?

At this point I didn't dare delay any longer, so I "reluctantly" booked a room at a motel, put the fish tank in, and left quickly.

I felt the pain of spending the hundred and fifty yuan all the way. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a heart-wrenching pain.

However, the effect of this Feng Shui fish is really good. If you get this fish, let alone spending money indiscriminately, you probably won’t even be able to eat.

After returning home, I had a good sleep. The total price of the four fish was 340,000 yuan, plus the 20,000 yuan agency fee from my third uncle, I made a net profit of 140,000 yuan. This money was earned in just two days, which can be considered a huge fortune.

The next afternoon, Bai Yezi came to see me at the agreed time. He was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a suit, with a fat head and big ears. He was very polite to me and gave me a red envelope as soon as we met, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. This little gift is not a token of respect."

The red envelope was very thick, and I estimated that there was at least five thousand yuan in it. I was so happy that I almost burst into tears, but I also had a question in my mind: why did Bai Yezi bring the buyer here?

But it was not easy to ask in front of others, so we took a taxi to the hotel where the Silver-spotted Immortal was stored. Bai Yezi said, "Mr. Yu is really a capable person. I was still thinking about finding a closed environment to store the Silver-spotted Immortal, and you thought of it a long time ago."

"Every step in this business must be done according to the rules, otherwise you will get into big trouble." I pretended to know a lot, but in fact I had no idea what Bai Yezi meant.

"Yes, this kind of business can only be done with people who know the business."

While we were chatting, the fat man in well-dressed clothes sat there obediently with a smile on his face and a pious look on his face like a primary school student

When I got to the hotel downstairs, I was about to enter the lobby when Bai Yezi stopped me and said with a smile, "Mr. Yu, let Mr. Zhao go in alone. The two of us will wait outside."

He must have a reason for asking this, so I said, "Yes, I plan to take Mr. Zhao to the door of the room. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too rude?"

"Don't be polite with me. As long as we get the fish, everything is fine." Then he took the room card from me and walked into the hotel.

Bai Yezi asked, "Mr. Yu, did you spend a long time in contact with these fish yesterday?"

He was trying to trick me, so I said, "It wasn't long, but it definitely worked. Don't worry if you laugh at me, I had the audacity to ask someone else to pay for the house."

Bai Yezi laughed heartily after hearing this and said, "That's completely understandable. The Silver-spotted Angelfish does have control over people. It will affect the first person it sees, so Mr. Zhao has to move the fish tank himself."

So that's how it is. Naturally, I pretended to have known this for a long time and said, "This fish is indeed strange ."

"All Feng Shui instruments are like this, so it's not surprising to say they're strange."

Then Mr. Zhao came out carrying a fish tank, and the four Feng Shui fish in the tank were all staring at him, floating in the water motionless, and it seemed that they would soon take effect on Mr. Zhao.

"You have to take this fish back by yourself. We won't send Mr. Zhao off." Bai Yezi said.

"Thank you both." Then he took a taxi and left.

Bai Yezi took me to a private room in a teahouse, and inside, he handed me a cash check for 470,000 yuan and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Life is indeed full of uncertainties. When I made my first 100,000, I always thought I was lucky, but this good luck would not stay with me for long, so I had to save the money. When I lost 100,000 because of a ritual , I felt that so much money was gone in an instant and I didn’t know when I could make the money back. Unexpectedly, in just two days, I made 140,000.

Bai Yezi only drinks tea and doesn't drink alcohol. After two cups of tea, I made an excuse to leave. I had to quickly pay back the money to my third uncle and Chu Sen. As a result, it happened that just as I was about to enter the bank, someone patted me on the shoulder. When I turned around, it turned out to be You Qing.

At this time, You Qing seemed to have been reborn. She was no longer wearing messy clothes, but a formal professional suit, with a ponytail and a light makeup. She looked friendly and natural, and looked better than when she was wearing heavy makeup.

"Why are you here?" Her tone was no longer frivolous and presumptuous, but rather the quiet and gentle tone that only girls have.

This made me feel a little uncomfortable. "Do something. What are you doing now?"

"I'm a cashier supervisor in the city. After my third uncle buried my sister, I really felt much better. I no longer have those chaotic thoughts. Now I especially enjoy the peace and quiet of being alone." At this point, she smiled bitterly and said, "Thinking back on what I did before, it really seems ridiculous."

"I can't blame you entirely. At least it works. Otherwise, I'd be a liar."

"Look at what you said. Actually, I've always wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude, but I just haven't had the courage to call you when I took out my phone."

"I'm not a tiger, why don't you even dare to call me?" I laughed.

"Not yet... Never mind, I won't talk about the past anymore. Anyway, thank you."

I didn't know what to say either. The two of us suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward. She smiled faintly and said, "Take care of yourself."

Then she turned and left. I looked at her back and suddenly shouted loudly, "Come on, you will definitely find a good home." She paused for a moment but did not turn around to respond. Then she continued to walk forward until her figure disappeared in the crowd.

I went into the bank to transfer money to my third uncle. There were a lot of people in the bank, and when I got my number, there were fifteen people ahead of me. So I went out, bought a newspaper, and sat on a chair to read.

There was nothing new in the newspaper, all reports about the booming economy and the harmony among the people. Just when I was feeling that it was getting boring, I heard the voices of the two people arguing in front of me getting louder and louder.

These two people arrived earlier than me and sat in the seat in front of me. Since I sat down, they have been whispering to each other. I don’t know what they were arguing about, but their tone of voice gradually became higher and soon turned into a loud quarrel.

There was nothing to read in the newspaper, so I might as well listen to the quarrel. So I pretended to read the newspaper, but my ears were perked up to listen to the two people arguing. Then I heard one of them say, "We agreed on the price a long time ago. If you go back on your word now, you're being dishonest."

"What integrity can there be in this kind of thing? Are you kidding me?"

"Please be reasonable, otherwise there is no need for us to talk."

"What I'm telling you now is the truth. You have to agree with it whether you agree or not."

"Don't take me for a fool. I'm not at fault in this matter, much less the perpetrator. I agree to compensate your family for their financial losses purely out of humanitarian considerations. Make no mistake."

"Stop talking nonsense. You're the one who killed my sister. Don't try to evade responsibility."

One person suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "If that's the case, let's not talk about it anymore. Go to court and sue me."

He turned and was about to leave when the other man raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, "You murderer, are you trying to escape?"

"Please let go." The two young men glared at each other like fighting cocks.

"Don't even think about leaving if you don't give me money." Seeing that a fight was about to break out, we who were sitting around quickly moved aside. The two men were one tall and one short. The tall one had fair skin and was well-dressed, while the short one had a wretched appearance and was dressed sloppily. At this time, the short one was holding the tall one's collar tightly with his left hand, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, ready to punch at any time.

"Young man, why don't you just talk it out calmly instead of fighting? This is a public place, calm down first. You have a point but are afraid you can't explain it clearly?" An elderly man tried to stop the fight.

The tall man said, "Sir, this person is simply obsessed with money and is crazy about it."

"Bullshit! If you hadn't killed my sister, would we be here today? Did you know that this pretty boy is the son of the CEO of Qianzheng Real Estate? He's the one who killed my sister. He's a rich second-generation kid. He killed someone and even wanted to beat up the victim's family. We're all witnesses. If you have the guts, beat me to death like you did to my sister. I don't want to live anymore anyway."

Qianzheng Group was a well-known real estate company in Shanghai. Besides its size, it was also the first company to be involved in a forced demolition scandal, making it a notorious company. When the people in the bank heard the short man's words, they immediately went into a rage, accusing the tall man of being lawless. Some even shouted, "Hurry and shoot this scoundrel."
