Chapter 83 Actress Zi Ling
Why bother?
After listening, Mr. Yang clicked his tongue.
"Old Yang, if everyone were like you, none of this would have happened, would it?"
Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "There are always people who think money can solve everything. They think that as long as they have enough money, they can pay someone else to suffer the consequences for them, and buy their descendants' safety. But there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"
"yes!"
Mr. Yang, seemingly struck by a sudden thought, glanced back and said, "Alright, this meal was disgusting. I had a really good private restaurant a couple of days ago. Come on, I'll take you two to try it, and then we'll have a blast!"
"I can eat, but I won't go to the party!" I declared first.
"Didn't your wife go back to her hometown? Are you already afraid of her?" Mr. Yang asked curiously.
"Not a wife, not even a girlfriend!"
I quickly said.
"Then what are you afraid of?" President Yang asked.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I just want to cultivate my character!" I made up a reason on the spot.
"Old Yang, don't try to persuade him. Crazy is afraid his wife will curse him. He's like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is afraid of ropes for ten years!" Fatty Lin said, shaking his head with a gloating look on his face.
"You talk too much!" I elbowed him.
Fatty Lin didn't care; he was even more smug after being elbowed in the back.
"Fatty, tell me about this Long Nier. You only told me half of it last time!" President Yang became interested.
"Mr. Yang, this story begins when Crazy was in junior high school, following the trend of having pen pals and engaging in textual love!"
Lin Pangzi's eyes lit up when this was mentioned.
"There was no romantic relationship, we were just pen pals!"
I leaned back, too lazy to bother him. Let him talk if he wants, but some things I didn't do, I didn't do, and he can't slander me.
"You're crazy, I'm sorry to have troubled you!"
Ten minutes later, after hearing my story with Long Nier, President Yang patted me on the shoulder.
"Old Yang, what's wrong with him? Long Ni'er is both beautiful and devoted. I dream of having a wife like her!" Fatty Lin snorted.
I know this guy too well. The more you engage with him, the more excited he gets. So I simply close my eyes and rest, ignoring his words.
Just as Mr. Yang was about to speak, his phone rang.
He glanced at it and answered the call.
Before a minute had passed, Mr. Yang put down his phone and said, "A friend is coming over in a bit. Tonight's dinner is going to be something special!"
"Old Yang, this friend of yours, is he related to us two brothers?" Fatty Lin asked.
"That's right!"
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Yang said, "This man is legendary. He was among the first to venture into business. His experiences over the years can be summed up in four words: three rises and three falls. Each time he fell, he always managed to get back up. A couple of days ago, he called me and asked how my relationship with you two was going. He said he'd run into some trouble and wanted you to take a look!"
"Didn't he say what it was about?" I asked.
"He didn't say!"
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Yang said, "Judging from his appearance, it's most likely related to metaphysics!"
When we arrived at the private restaurant, the person hadn't arrived yet, so Mr. Yang gave us a brief introduction of him.
That guy, surnamed Zhang, is from southern Hunan. His business interests are very broad, including catering, building materials, planting, clothing trade, and in recent years he has also ventured into real estate and the Internet. He does whatever makes money!
Although Mr. Zhang has considerable assets, few people know about them; he is a hidden tycoon.
After Mr. Yang finished his introduction, not long after, Mr. Zhang arrived, accompanied by a female companion.
My female companion also has the surname Zhang, and her name is Zhang Ziling. She is not yet twenty years old and is a student at the Film Academy.
Boss Zhang is fifty-six this year, not much younger than Zhang Ziling's grandfather.
I didn't pay much attention to the age difference between the two. There's a saying that no matter how old a man is, he always prefers an eighteen-year-old.
"Master Lin, my daughter Ziling wants to enter the entertainment industry. I'd like you to tell her fortune!"
After sitting down and exchanging a few polite words, Boss Zhang got straight to the point.
Fatty Lin chuckled, neither saying he would pay nor not, but instead stared at Boss Zhang.
"Master Lin, is there something wrong with me?"
Mr. Zhang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"Boss Zhang, you don't trust my abilities, so you're testing the waters!" Fatty Lin said quietly.
Boss Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then readily admitted, "Master Lin is indeed a master; you saw right through my little scheme. Let's get straight to the point!"
"You've already thrown the stone, I should at least let you ask for directions first!"
Fatty Lin pointed at Zhang Ziling and said, "Come on, Miss Zhang, give me your birth date and time, and I'll calculate your fortune!"
Zhang Ziling glanced at Boss Zhang, who nodded, and then she gave him her birthdate.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Lin recited her birth chart: "Dingmao, Bingwu, Renyin, Yisi!"
After a quick calculation, Fatty Lin smiled and said, "Your birth chart is a classic 'Following Wealth' chart, you'll bring good fortune to your husband! Boss Zhang, you have a good eye!"
"Master Lin hit the nail on the head. I had a master calculate Zi Ling's birth chart!" Boss Zhang said with some pride.
After saying that, he added, "Master Lin, let's put it this way: let's not talk about Ziling's fortune in the distant future, let's just talk about Ziling's fortune this year!"
"Can!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Miss Zhang's birth chart shows a strong presence of both wood and fire elements, indicating an aversion to metal and water elements!"
"The initial period of the Dingwei cycle did not break the cycle!"
"In the next luck periods, Wu Shen and Ji You, although there is metal in the earthly branches, the metal is not exposed, so there is not much of a problem. The Shen luck period will be more serious because the Shen metal has water as its root, while the You luck period will not be a big problem."
"This year is 06, the year of Bingxu. The Yin-Wu-Xu combination forms a fire element, which completely suppresses the Shen metal element!"
At this point, Fatty Lin paused, then said meaningfully, "Three fires make a crown. If Miss Zhang were to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely excel in some aspect this year. Perhaps she'd become famous because of a 'GG' incident, or her TV series would become a huge hit, or she might even win a talent show!"
"Here you go!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Zhang clapped his hands and said, "Master Lin's prediction was indeed accurate!"
"Um?"
Fatty Lin was a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean by that, Boss Zhang?"
"It's simple in theory!"
Boss Zhang pursed his lips and said calmly, "I'm collaborating with Hunan TV to produce a talent show, and I've already decided that my daughter Ziling will be the champion!"
I picked up my glass and took a sip of water to hide the contempt that was about to burst from my mouth. There was no other reason than that this old man was too good at pretending.
Zhang Ziling, with a demure and submissive demeanor, looked at Boss Zhang with eyes full of admiration.
There are many actresses in the entertainment industry who have left a deep impression on me, and Zhang Ziling is one of them. When it comes to tea ceremony skills, she can be ranked in the top five.
At this point, although she was a novice, she already possessed some of the experience that would later come.
However, although she was highly skilled in tea ceremony, she was not good at judging people.
Later, in an attempt to revive her career, she went to a show with another actress who had undergone cosmetic surgery, which almost led to her being removed from the entertainment industry and becoming a laughing stock.
