Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 72
Chap 72
After the stall owner received Qu Jing’s “tip”, he agreed with the theory of “man can conquer nature”. He sat there and waited. After a while, he saw Qu Jing pulling a handsome OMEGA over, followed by a BETA.
　　The stall owner looked at the OMEGA, who was so handsome, no wonder she found such a wealthy husband.
　　Qu Jing winked at the stall owner, and said to You Zhao, “Let’s interpret the fortune!”
　　You Zhao handed the fortune to the stall owner.
　　The stall owner peeled off the corresponding fortune and frowned: Damn, this is a bad fortune!
　　But after all, he had received money. When the stall owner tore off the fortune slip, he also deliberately tore off the two words “lower” so that no one could see it. He then placed the fortune slip on the table and said, “Well, this is the fortune slip you drew…”
　　You Zhao raised his eyelids and saw that the picture on the fortune slip was the Battle of Red Cliffs and the burning of the linked boats. The fortune slip read: “Carrying firewood to put out a fire is the same as burning three thousand miles. If you ask about the comings and goings of wealth, it is better to clean up the waste of energy.”
　　Even if You Zhao didn’t know how to interpret the fortune slip, he knew how to interpret poetry. They all received nine years of compulsory education. Who doesn’t know how to appreciate and read ancient poetry? Who doesn’t know what the story of the burning of the linked boats is?　Looking at the ominous pictures and texts, You Zhao’s heart sank, and he just said: “Is this… a bad omen?”
　　Qu Jing waited for the stall owner, as if he would flip the table if the stall owner said something bad.
　　The stall owner coughed twice and said: “This… should be viewed with the materialist dialectic…”
　　”Ah? Do we have to use materialism to worship gods in the temple?” You Zhao seemed to have refreshed his understanding of materialism. The
　　stall owner coughed twice again and said: “No… I mean the idealist dialectic… that is, we should look at this problem dialectically. For example, it says here ‘If you seek glory and wealth’, then it is hopeless. Are you here to seek glory and wealth?”
　　”That’s not the case.” You Zhao replied, “I’m here to seek… health.”
　　”Health? Of course there is health.” The stall owner nodded.
　　You Zhao frowned, “Why? It also says “Carrying firewood to put out a fire, burning all over the world… The burning of Red Cliff, that’s a tragedy, right?”
　　”It means prosperity! Even Red Cliff is not necessarily a tragedy! You see, you can think of yourself as Kong Ming, who can borrow the east wind! Prosperity!” The stall owner nodded.
　　”Ah?” You Zhao was startled, “What about ‘Why not clean up your troubles’?”
　　”That means you should clean up and don’t worry, things will be fine. Just like Kong Ming waiting for the east wind.” The stall owner waved a sunflower fan and said in the tone of a hermit, “In short, everything will be fine.”
　　You Zhao was speechless and just nodded to thank him.
　　After reading the signature, the two left together. Qu Jing held You Zhao’s shoulder again and said with a smile: “Look, it’s okay!”
　　But You Zhao said: “I don’t believe these… I think the fortune teller is talking nonsense.”
　　”Hey, why are you talking like that?” Qu Jing said hurriedly, “He is a professional. Just believe what he says! Pack up, don’t worry, things will be fine.”
　　You Zhao nodded with a smile and said, “Yeah.”
　　They strolled through the temple together and happened to see Duan Keyi there. Duan Keyi glanced at them and smiled politely, saying, “How can it be such a coincidence?”
　　You Zhao and Qu Jing also put on a polite smile: “You are here too, what a coincidence.”
　　Duan Keyi smiled and said, “What’s the coincidence? I am here to accompany my nephew to pray for a child. Why, are you also praying for a child?” You
　　Zhao was touched in the heart, which was fine, but he was touched by Duan Keyi, and he was also a little embarrassed, but he was also decent, not showing embarrassment, just smiling. Qu Jing was a little too concerned, so he retorted: “Are you all here to pray for a child? Then Mr. Duan, you…”
　　Duan Keyi was asked this question, but he was not annoyed, but laughed: “Didn’t I just say that I came here to accompany my nephew? What am I praying for? I have two good sons, Zhaoer and Yonger, and I am already very satisfied.”
　　”Zhaoer and I are here for an outing.” Qu Jing also felt that the previous sentence was too aggressive and seemed strange, so he explained, “I saw on the local APP that this is a good place for weekend outings.”
　　Duan Keyi listened to Qu Jing’s two explanations and felt that he was trying to cover up the truth. It sounded more like he was here to pray for a child. Seeing that You Zhao was unwilling to speak, Duan Keyi became more certain and felt happy in his heart. Duan Keyi was so happy that he just said, “That’s right. I see you are so young that you won’t have this problem. What if you are so young and have to pray to God for a child? ”
　　Qu Jing didn’t want to get entangled with Duan Keyi, so as not to embarrass You Zhao, so he said, “Then you have to accompany your nephew and comfort him.” After that, Qu Jing took You Zhao away. Tang Ke followed.
　　When Qu Jing took You Zhao away, he unconsciously looked at You Zhao’s expression, fearing that he was sad. But You Zhao didn’t look bad, and he was still the same. Qu Jing was about to say something to comfort him, but heard You Zhao’s cell phone ringing.
　　You Zhao immediately picked up the phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “Mandy?”
　　Mandy said on the other end of the phone, “I just talked to the lawyer, there is no problem. We are afraid that Xia Wu will be disturbed by ‘external factors’, so we asked Brother Hao to send someone to look after him.”
　　You Zhao frowned: “Who is ‘Brother Hao’?”
　　”Brother Hao… is a friend from the underworld. He is very trustworthy. He is also an old friend of mine.” Mandy answered in a relaxed tone, “Also, when Brother Hao came last time, Xia Tao was there too. It seems that she asked Brother Hao for contact information, and said that she would trouble him again in the future. Not only that, Xia Tao also chatted with me, and the implication of her words was that she wanted to get to know more people in the underworld. I don’t think this is normal for him.”
　　Hearing this, You Zhao frowned and said, “This… maybe he wants to expand his network?” ”
　　That’s what the boss said. I think Xia Tao is also a very smart person. Nothing should happen. Maybe he just wants to get to know more people. If similar things happen in the future, we won’t be needed, and we can save the difference in the middleman.” Mandy answered.
　　You Zhao smiled and hung up the phone, but heard a commotion on the other end, and someone seemed to be calling for help. Qu Jing subconsciously hugged You Zhao to protect him, and said to Tang Ke, “Go and see what’s going on?””Me?” Tang Ke shook his head quickly, “Why don’t we go first? Why bother with this?”
　　Tang Ke would not join in the fun of this fight!
　　Qu Jing thought about it and said, “That’s right, let’s go first. Don’t cause trouble.”
　　So the three of them left in a car. Later, they found out that Duan Keyi was beaten. This was when the couple took Tang Ke and Hua Shi to drink tea. Hua Shi said casually: “Do you know? Last Sunday, Duan Keyi was beaten at the place where he prayed for a child!” When
　　Qu Jing learned about this, he beat his chest and stamped his feet: “I should have gone to see it earlier!”
　　You Zhao frowned and said: “Why would someone beat Duan Keyi for no reason?”
　　Hua Shi smiled: “How can it be so certain? I see that Duan Keyi is always pretentious and pretends to be noble and elegant. I don’t know how many bad things he has done behind his back and offended many people. I think he was beaten because he offended someone!” You Zhao said:
　　”Even if he offended someone, he shouldn’t have been beaten in the street. Who dares to do this? After all, he is the son of the Duan family and the wife of the You family. Aren’t you afraid of revenge?”
　　”You’re right.” Hua Shi nodded, and said, “So, Duan Kexin has already said that he will offer a reward of 300,000 to find out who beat Duan Keyi.”
　　Qu Jing just said, “300,000 doesn’t sound like a lot.”
　　Hua Shi laughed out loud, and said, “President Qu, don’t make me laugh to death. Even those little gangsters on the street, if you give them 300,000, they can send their own father to heaven for sacrifice!”
　　Qu Jing said, “Don’t I know? I’m not a ‘genuine young master’ like you. I was born in an ordinary family. How could I not know the value of money? It’s just, I think Duan Kexin wants to offer a reward not only to find someone, but also to show his face. This amount of 300,000 is not worthy of his face. ”
　　Hua Shi nodded and said, “What you said seems to make some sense!”
　　You Zhao said leisurely, “Duan Kexin and Duan Keyi are not in harmony. I think Duan Kexin is just pretending and doesn’t really care about Duan Keyi.” When
　　Qu Jing heard what You Zhao said, he sighed and said, “Wealthy families are really complicated! Fortunately, we are an ordinary family.” Hua Shi smiled
　　and said, “You are still an ordinary family?”
　　”That’s right.” Qu Jing held You Zhao’s hand and said, “We are the kind of ordinary family who go out to work hand in hand in the morning and go home to eat and sleep at night.”
　　Hearing this, You Zhao’s face also showed some tenderness.
　　Hua Shi looked at it and felt sour.
　　Duan Keyi was in the temple, watching his nephew worshipping Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbearing, thinking in his heart: “It turns out that You Zhao and his wife look so loving, but they can’t even have a child! It’s so funny.” Duan Keyi became happier and happier as he thought about it. He hummed a little tune and turned to a remote corner of the temple to smoke a cigarette. Unexpectedly, before he could take two puffs of his cigarette, he was beaten by two thugs who put him in a sack. Because he was trapped with his cigarette, he also had two scars as big as green beans on his arms. When
　　Youhai heard this story, his first reaction was: “You still smoke?”
　　Duan Keyi was also stunned and didn’t know what to say.
　　Youhai saw the cigarette scar on Duan Keyi’s arm and hurriedly said: “You have to arrange to remove the scar immediately. If you attend an event and someone sees you with cigarette scars on your arm, it will be so embarrassing.”
　　Duan Keyi felt very aggrieved and couldn’t say a word. His teeth were trembling.
　　Duan Kexin was also in the ward. Hearing Youhai’s words, he also laughed and said, “Does your brother smoke? I don’t know. But it’s not strange. Don’t we smoke too?”
　　”How can it be the same?” Youhai and Duan Kexin are familiar with each other and speak directly. “We are ALPHA, how can we compare?”
　　Duan Kexin thought that Duan Keyi was surnamed Duan after all. She had just suffered physical pain and was questioned by her husband. It was too unfortunate. Therefore, Duan Kexin also joined in and said, “Same, same. Many OMEGAs outside also smoke. I saw that someone in your office also smokes. They are all like this because they are busy at work and under great pressure.”
　　Youhai said, “Xiaoyi is enjoying herself at my home. What kind of pressure can there be?”
　　Duan Keyi almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
　　Youhai looked at Duan Keyi’s weird smile and said, “What are you laughing at?”
　　Duan Keyi said, “I’m laughing happily.” But his face was lukewarm.
　　Duan Kexin felt that the atmosphere between the couple in front of him was too weird, and he felt unnatural, so he stood up and said, “Speaking of cigarettes, I’m addicted to cigarettes too. I’ll go smoke one.”
　　Youhai didn’t want to stay in the ward alone with Duan Keyi at this moment, so he picked up a cigarette and said, “I’ll go with you.”
　　So Youhai and Duan Kexin left the ward, leaving Duan Keyi alone. The ward suddenly became quiet, Duan Keyi’s head was buzzing, and he laughed and cried suddenly.
　　The door suddenly rang, and a tall figure walked in.
　　Duan Keyi raised his head expressionlessly and saw a tall doctor who said to him, “I’m your rehabilitation therapist.” Duan Keyi looked at him intently and said, “So young?”
　　”Yes, this profession is also very young in China. Even very experienced experts are not too old.” The doctor was very friendly in the face of Duan Keyi’s doubts, “Now, can you give me your hand, Mr. Duan?”　Duan Keyi seemed to be somewhat resistant, but still put his hand on the other’s palm. The other quickly held his hand in return, put one hand on his shoulder, slowly leaned over, and pulled Duan Keyi’s stiff muscles. Duan Keyi suddenly felt nervous: he forgot how long it had been since he had had such contact with ALPHA – his husband had also ignored him for a long time. It was
　　obviously just a treatment, but Duan Keyi had a kind of pleasure similar to “affair”.
　　But because this was not “affair” at all, Duan Keyi felt at ease.
　　The news that Duan Keyi was beaten had already spread widely in this small circle. You Zhao didn’t say it, but he was still a little suspicious in his heart: if Duan Keyi had offended anyone recently, the first person You Zhao thought of was Xia Tao. Xia Tao had already left to hide under the pretext of going abroad to hold an art exhibition, and said: “I have already gone abroad, this matter has nothing to do with me.”
　　You Zhao still reminded: “It is better not to be related, otherwise, even the strongest public relations in the world can’t save you.”
　　”Of course I know!” Xia Tao said indifferently, “No matter how much I hate Duan Keyi, I won’t hit him! I’m not a fool!”
　　Since Xia Tao said so, You Zhao had no reason not to believe him.
　　Unexpectedly, Duan Keyin’s 300,000 reward was still very effective, and it was found out within two days.
