Chapter 498 The Last King of Songs in Hong Kong
"Hey, Old Mai, you look much better! Thirteen's acupuncture was amazing, wasn't it?"
After Guo Meiqi came out, she immediately set her sights on Mai Fengming.
"Impressive!" Mai Fengming nodded and said, "Also, you told me before that the Heart-to-Heart Talisman might be the problem, and the Thirteen Pulse Diagnosis confirmed it—the Heart-to-Heart Talisman really is the culprit!"
"I told you long ago, things from Southeast Asia are rather unorthodox. I told you not to get involved, but you insisted on doing it!" Guo Meiqi said, as if she had expected this all along.
"A love charm? What's going on?" Fatty Lin asked.
"I went to Southeast Asia to get a talisman for my wedding!" Mai Fengming briefly explained the situation.
"Sister Mai, the madman's acupuncture only pulled out the evil energy from your body. To completely resolve this, you need to burn the talisman. Burning it yourself might cause problems. If it's convenient for you, we can come to your house and burn the talisman with you. If it's not convenient, you can go back and get the talisman, and I'll burn it for you!" Fatty Lin said.
"I'll go home and get it!" Mai Fengming said.
"Okay, we'll wait for you!" Fatty Lin nodded.
It took Mai Fengming about forty minutes to retrieve the talisman.
Under Lin Pangzi's guidance, Mai Fengming disposed of the talisman in a harmless manner.
"Old Mike, Little One, how was it? Great value for money today, right? I've told you so many times, Fatty and Thirteen were awesome!"
Seeing the love charm burn to ashes, Guo Meiqi nudged Mai Fengming and winked at Chen Xiaoxiao.
"Thirteen, Ni'er, Fatty, thanks to you guys this time!"
Mai Fengming let out a soft breath.
You can tell she's a little uncomfortable being called Fatty Lin or Fatty.
"Sister Mai, if you want to thank me, introduce me to a few more jobs. I'm under a lot of pressure right now!" Fatty Lin said.
"You're under a lot of pressure?" Guo Meiqi pouted, clearly disbelieving. "Not counting others, just from the three of us, how much have you made?"
"Sister Meiqi, I earn a lot, but I also spend a lot!" Fatty Lin sighed and started talking about the fifty Hope Primary Schools.
"Fatty, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted!" Guo Meiqi glanced at Fatty Lin a few more times.
"Doing good deeds in secret is never wrong!" Fatty Lin said earnestly.
"Fatty, what do you need us to do?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked.
"My three elder sisters, if you could introduce me to more jobs, that would be the greatest support you could give me. I'll petition you before the ancestral altar. I may not be able to do much else, but I can certainly ensure your safety and well-being!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"Fatty, no problem at all. We'll come to you first if we need any work in the future!" Guo Meiqi said.
Chen Xiaoxiao echoed her sentiments, but Mai Fengming hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say, but ultimately didn't say it.
At 5 p.m., we each left.
Chen Xiaoxiao is going home to have dinner with her husband, Cai Sheng. Mai Fengming is going home to cook dinner for her lawyer husband. Guo Meiqi is the most carefree, going home to catch up on her beauty sleep before going out for drinks in the evening.
Less than half an hour after I got back to the store, my phone rang. I glanced at it and saw it was Mai Fengming.
"Sister Mai, are you feeling unwell?"
After answering the call, I pressed the speakerphone button and gave Lin Pangzi and Long Nier a wink.
"I'm not feeling unwell, there's someone I'd like to introduce to you!" Mai Fengming said.
"Who is it?" I asked.
When she was introducing us to the job at the meeting earlier, she hesitated for a moment, and I suspected that she had something to say. That's why the job came up!
"Do you know Xu Zhenzhu?" Mai Fengming asked.
"Xu Zhenzhu? What happened to her?" I asked.
"Sister Mai, are you talking about Chen Yisen's wife?" Fatty Lin chimed in.
"That's right, it's her!"
Mai Fengming gave an affirmative answer.
I know Xu Zhenzhu and Chen Yisen very well.
Recently, there have been two major scandals in the Hong Kong entertainment industry: one is the recording scandal involving Maggie Kwok and her husband, and the other is the scandal involving Ethan Chan and his junior fellow apprentice.
The matter is quite simple: Chen Yisen's junior sister Xie Keni is holding a concert and invited Chen Yisen to sing with her.
After Chen Yisen went on stage, he hugged and interacted with Xie Keni, their intimate behavior leading to speculation that they had a romantic connection.
It would be fine if the two weren't married, but the problem is that they are both married.
As a result, the story quickly gained traction after being reported.
It's worth noting that Ethan Chan was dubbed the last singing king of Hong Kong by Hong Kong media, which speaks volumes about his popularity.
Moreover, his popularity wasn't limited to Hong Kong Island; he was equally popular in mainland China and Taiwan.
The media will always find fault with someone like him, let alone when something happens.
"What's wrong with her? Is she depressed?" I asked.
It's unbearable for anyone to have their man involved in a scandal with another woman, causing a huge uproar.
"It's not depression, her situation is a bit special, it can't be explained in a sentence or two. I'll give her your phone number so she can call you!" Mai Fengming said.
"Okay!" I nodded.
"Sister Mai, how's your relationship with Xu Zhenzhu? If it's good, I'll give her a discount!" Fatty Lin said.
"No need for a discount!"
Mai Fengming smiled and said, "My relationship with her is so-so. I know her because after my husband, Ethan, had an affair with my junior sister, Pearl consulted my husband about property issues. That's how I became acquainted with her!"
"Oh, I see. I was thinking of giving her a discount if she were your best friend, Sister Mai!" Fatty Lin said.
I gave him a thumbs up; he knows how to handle things.
"No need, you can collect the money however you normally would!" Mai Fengming said.
"Sister Mai, thank you so much!" Fatty Lin said.
"No need to thank me, just consider it my contribution to the children in those remote areas. Okay, that's all. I'll give your phone number to Pearl so she can contact you!" Mai Fengming said.
"Okay!" Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance. We didn't expect Mai Fengming to be so agreeable. Less than an hour after we finished acupuncture with her, she introduced us to a job.
"Crazy! Looks like we still have some luck on our side. The Xuanmen Association was secretly trying to ruin my reputation and prevent me from getting any work, but then Sister Meiqi came knocking on our door!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "That's what they call 'the righteous gain many supporters, the unrighteous lose few!'"
"No, I have to offer incense to the patriarch and say a few words to him!"
As Fatty Lin was talking, he went to report the good news to the ancestral master.
"Xu Zhenzhu!"
He went to burn incense, while I went online to check news about Xu Zhenzhu and her husband Chen Yisen.
We knew about Chen Yisen and his junior sister's affair, but we didn't take it too seriously. After all, their affair wasn't as explosive as Guo Meiqi's, and there wasn't any crucial evidence.
The Hong Kong media has only released photos of the two embracing at the concert; much of what they've said so far is speculation.
