Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 299 Da Cheng's Desire to Go Solo

Feng Xue came here to seek reconciliation and get back together with her ex-husband, but the first thing she did was to take care of her health.

People in the entertainment industry really can't be viewed with the same logic as normal people.

After I finished treating my body, I set up an altar.

What followed was simple: offer incense to the gods of the four directions, burn a written inscription explaining the purpose of the altar, invite the two immortals of harmony to the altar, consult the immortals by divination, and pray for marital harmony.

The whole process went very smoothly without any mistakes.

After the ritual concluded and the two spirits of harmony were sent away, Fatty Lin looked at Feng Xue and said, "Sister Xue, as you saw, this reunion was a great success. I'm 80% confident that things will go smoothly between you and Director Qian!"

Feng Xue immediately replied, "Xiao Lin, I won't say much more in thanks. Once I've restored my relationship with your brother-in-law, I'll give you a big red envelope!"

"Don't worry, sis, I'm sure I'll get this big red envelope!" Fatty Lin said.

After seeing Feng Xue off, Fatty Lin let out a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, that's all for today!"

"Not going out to have fun anymore?" I asked.

"My body isn't made of iron, I need to rest for a day or two. Besides, Lin Qiao is coming tomorrow, that's going to be another big battle!" Fatty Lin said.

"No, you've got your eye on Lin Qiao?" I was shocked.

"It's not that I'm after her, it's that I'm after the money in her pocket!" Fatty Lin said.

"Get lost! I know exactly what you're thinking!"

I rolled my eyes at Fatty Lin and said, "Make sure you set aside time for the day after tomorrow. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I want to visit Master Liu. We also need to pay our respects to Brother Zuo!"

"Don't worry, I've prepared all the gifts!" Fatty Lin said.

"When did you prepare this?" I was a little surprised.

"I was hanging out with Boss Yang a couple of days ago and found two good things, which I managed to get from him!" Fatty Lin said.

"How did you compensate Mr. Yang?" I asked.

Fatty Lin is a womanizer, lazy, greedy, and cunning man, possessing all five vices. However, he has one redeeming quality: he is loyal to his friends and brothers.

Given our relationship with President Yang, he wouldn't lie to him. If he found something good with President Yang, he would definitely tell him openly.

"Two talismans!"

Fatty Lin held up two fingers and wagged them, saying, "I don't have any on hand. I'll give them to Boss Yang after the New Year when I go back to Hong Kong!"

"What good stuff did you find that you're going to give Boss Yang two talismans?" I asked curiously.

The two talismans that Fatty Lin mentioned were definitely custom-made; he wouldn't have bothered to mention ordinary talismans.

Two talismans, two million. Given Yang's personality, he definitely wouldn't take advantage of Fatty Lin. In other words, what Fatty Lin found was worth more than two million.

"One is a pearl from a century-old clam in the East China Sea, the other is the spirit of a pine tree in Zhongnan Mountain!"

"That's what Fatty Lin said."

"Both of these items are priceless and unavailable!" I said.

Leaving aside the pearls from century-old oysters, the Zhongnan Pine Soul Essence is born from the root knots of a thousand-year-old pine tree.

When cutting, the core of the pine root needs to be removed with a peach wood knife on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A small piece of Poria cocos can be used to refine a batch of pills.

"Where did Mr. Yang get his hands on Songhunling?" I asked curiously.

"Boss Yang said it was a gift from one of his old employees, a family heirloom that can be steeped in water to make a drink. He received it but didn't know its value and just left it there. If it weren't for me, Boss Yang wouldn't have known the value of this thing!" Fatty Lin said proudly.

"Crazy, I plan to give one piece to Master Liu, and we'll keep a small piece for ourselves to refine medicine. Once the medicine is ready, we'll send some to Boss Yang; this stuff is incredibly nourishing!"

After his moment of triumph, Fatty Lin revealed his plans.

"no problem!"

I nodded.

"By the way, last time I went to Boss Yang's place, I ran into Da Chengzi. He asked me why you weren't here. Judging from his hesitant manner, he probably had something to ask you but was too embarrassed to say it!" Fatty Lin said.

"Are you too embarrassed to say?"

I was a little surprised and said, "I got to know President Yang through his introduction. Given our relationship, what is there for him to be embarrassed about!"

"You!"

Fatty Lin nudged me and said, "Judging from your expression, I really don't know how Da Chengzi has been these past two years!"

"He's doing pretty well, isn't he? His sitcom was a huge hit, everyone knows him as the King of Massage Parlors!" I said.

"It's true that it's become popular, but Da Chengzi didn't make much money. The lion's share of the profits went to Boss Yang, and Da Chengzi just got a small share!" Fatty Lin said.

"You mean Da Cheng wants to go out on his own?" I asked.

"That's possible!" Fatty Lin nodded.

"Does he want me to talk to President Yang and let him go, or what?" I asked.

"I don't know!"

Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "But I know things aren't that simple!"

"No, why are you beating around the bush with me? Let's just say what's on our minds!"

Judging from Lin Pangzi's demeanor, he wasn't telling me everything and was hiding something from me.

"Then shall I tell you?" Fatty Lin asked tentatively.

"Spit it out already, stop being so long-winded!" I said irritably.

"Crazy, I was just thinking that Da Chengzi is your childhood friend, so there are some things I can't say!" Fatty Lin said.

"Bullshit, you and I are childhood friends, Da Chengzi and I are just friends!" I said.

"So, shall I say something?" Fatty Lin glanced at me and said.

"Hurry up!" I said, a little impatiently.

Fatty Lin didn't speak directly, but hesitated for a moment. Seeing that I was about to start cursing, he said, "You know, Crazy, I used to play two or even three rounds with Boss Yang. In these kinds of situations, you usually need a 'waiting party'!"

Fatty Lin spoke while observing my expression.

"You're trying to tell me that Da Cheng works for that Service Bureau, right? I already knew that without you having to tell me!" I said.

"You're crazy. Yang is a little better off; some of his friends are quite wild. They both fear and respect me, treating me as an equal and being very respectful. But they don't tolerate Da Cheng's servants at all!"

"That's what Fatty Lin said."

"You mean to say that Mr. Yang's friends insulted Da Cheng?" I asked.

"You're insane, it's not just a matter of insults!"

Fatty Lin was still considering how to say it.

"No, what's wrong? Spit it out!" I vaguely thought of a possibility and became even more impatient.

"You know, you crazy guy, those bosses have tried everything, they just like to try something new. Twice, a boss took a liking to Da Cheng!" Fatty Lin said, then stopped and gave me a knowing look.

At this point, there's nothing I don't understand.

"Da Cheng has given in?"

My mouth feels a little dry.

"He's just a servant, what gives him the right to disobey?" Fatty Lin retorted.
