Chapter 100: Opportunity
Lu Qiushi, who was dressed in casual clothes, easily squeezed out of the bus and let out a long breath. I don't know what Xu Guangchao, who is mysterious, is looking for him.
After receiving Xu Guangchao's call, Lu Qiushi thought that Xu Guangchao was comforting him or persuading him to return to the company, but he didn't expect that Xu Guangchao also resigned, and asked Lu Qiushi to meet at 10 o'clock in the morning of the 5th at Xiangmanlou.
Xiangmanlou is near the intermediary chain store where Lu Qiushi once worked, and it is the famous teahouse, which means that the tea is full of fragrance.
To be honest, Lu Qiushi is not interested in the teahouse, for him, it is better to go to the teahouse to drink tea than to go to the restaurant to eat, you must know that the price of a pot of tea in the teahouse is expensive. There is no way, this is the difference in the level of life.
Entering Xiangmanlou and asking the waiter about Xu Guangchao's private room, Lu Qiushi walked in quickly.
"Fatty, I haven't seen you in a long time!" Xu Guangchao, who was still sitting, saw Lu Qiushi come in, and hurriedly stood up to greet Lu Qiushi, and at the same time came a strong bear hug.
"Brother Xu! What have you been up to lately? β
The two chatted for a while and then sat down on either side of the coffee table. Xu Guangchao handed Lu Qiushi a cigarette and poured a cup of tea, and said, "Fatty, how are you doing, where are you tall?" β
Lu Qiushi smiled a little embarrassedly and replied, "Gao? I'm still looking for a job. Brother Xu, didn't you say that you also left your job, where have you made your fortune recently? β
"Hehe, it's not enough to get rich, help my dad take care of his business and show people feng shui."
"That's good, the son inherits his father's business, congratulations."
The two of them are so nourishing that you and I are idle and boring, the tea has been added a few times, and Lu Qiushi also wants to leave. At this time, Xu Guangchao pointed out the topic: "Fatty, do you remember what I told you before?" β
"Oh? What words? Lu Qiushi was a little confused.
"What kind of person, you've been dealing with me all the time!"
"Hehe, no, no."
"Okay, let's be serious, didn't I say before that we two brothers would be together, showing people feng shui, looking at house qi, and catching ghosts. How's that, fatty? It just so happens that you don't have a job right now, come and help me, let's do it together. After speaking, Xu Guangchao looked at Lu Qiushi directly, waiting for Lu Qiushi's answer.
"Okay," Lu Qiushi replied without hesitation, "It just so happens that I'm also idle, but how to calculate the salary, hehe, your father's company, if I go, does your father agree?" β
Lu Qiushi is indeed very willing to go, although he may still have to deal with ghosts, but this autonomy belongs to him, if he really encounters a powerful ghost, he can give up, unlike before, he is passively involved, no matter what the strength of the ghost is, he has to go up hard.
The underworld has been calculating him, and it is easy to rely on the ability given to him by the underworld to earn some money for himself and improve his life, why not agree.
"Hey," Xu Guangchao listened to Lu Qiushi's words and waved his hand, "What kind of salary is not paid, fatty, do you remember what I said at the time, no, I said that we will work together, we are both bosses, and we will pay ourselves our own salaries." β
"Don't mind, Brother Xu, after all, this is your father's company, so many people in the company are watching, if I am like you said, it will be too unruly."
"Hahahaha, fatty, how can there be anyone in the company, it used to be run by two of my parents, but now that my parents are older, they will be handed over to me, and they don't care at all, so after you come, there are only two people, you and me, and the company is even a company for the two of us, haha."
Lu Qiushi and Xu Guangchao had lunch at the restaurant next to Xiangmanlou at noon, which was considered a partnership meal, and then Xu Guangchao took Lu Qiushi to No. 94 Xu's Kanyu Company located in the west of Zhengqiu Road.
It is said that the company is actually a faΓ§ade room, the door is inlaid with the plaque of "Xu's Kanyu" four gilded characters written by Lishu, and there is a couplet hanging on the left and right sides of the main entrance: Nayan must find a real celebrity, and Fuju is also surveying and resting.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Xu Guangchao opened the door and pulled Lu Qiushi into the company.
This room is a studio, a total of only more than 20 square meters, the inside is also very simple, the company gate is in the southwest corner of the house, the door is open to the west, the north side of the door is a simple table and chair made of yellow wood, look at the dilapidated appearance to know that there are years.
The table was clean, there was nothing, no paper, no ink, no dust, and it seemed that the hygiene was done well.
There is also a set of tables and chairs in the northwest of the whole room, this set of tables and chairs made of pure mahogany has one thing in common with the set of yellow wood tables and chairs at the door, old, they look very old. On the left side of the pure mahogany table and chair are placed a few wooden sofas, which are still very old.
Seeing this, Lu Qiushi couldn't help but smack his lips. The room was really empty and old, the most new thing was a safe placed against the wall next to the pure mahogany table and chairs, and the rest was probably a humanoid sculpture in the middle of the whole room, although it was also very old, but it stood out in the whole room.
Lu Qiushi looked at this sculpture and was stunned. Suddenly, he felt as if this sculpture had come to life, and he kept looking at him, as if he wanted to see through his heart, which made Lu Qiushi feel a little creepy.
Xu Guangchao saw Lu Qiushi's gaze and explained: "Fat man, this is the ancestor of our profession, Guo Pu. β
Guo Pu, the word Jingchun, Hedong is also pleasing to the people. Father, Shangshu is the history of Ling. The fashion book has increased and lost in advance, and it is known for its public side. Finally Jianping Taishou. Pu is good at scripture, erudite and talented, and is good at speech, and the word is the crown of Zhongxing. Good ancient words, better than the luni-solar calendar. There is Guo Gong, who lives in Hedong, is good at divination, and follows it. Gong with the "Green Capsule Book" nine volumes with it, from the five elements of the cave, astronomy, divination, the disaster turned into disaster, through the way, although the Beijing room, the management can not pass. Zhao Zai, a Pumen man, tried to steal the "Qingxiang Book", but before he could read it, he was burned by the fire. This is part of the record in the Book of Jin.
There is also such a paragraph in "The Book of Jin β’ The Biography of Guo Pu": When Guo Pu passed through Lujiang in the south, he took a fancy to the maid of Hu Mengkang's family, who was too guarded by Lujiang. Because it was difficult to ask for it, Guo Pu secretly sprinkled red beans around Hu's house at night.
The next morning, Hu Mengkang suddenly found that thousands of red-clothed people surrounded the house, and when Hu got closer and looked again, these red-clothed people disappeared. If it was back and forth, Hu Mengkang felt very strange, so he told Guo Pu about it.
After Guo Pu heard this, he said to Hu Mengkang: "This is to make your maid a troublemaker, send her to the southeast twenty miles to take out." Don't bargain when you sell it, so that the evil in your house will be removed. Hu Taishou followed Guo Pu's advice and sent the maid to the southeast, twenty miles away, and Guo Pu instructed his family to go there and buy the maid at a low price.
After listening to Xu Guangchao's introduction, Lu Qiushi walked up to Guo Pu and bowed. In any case, he will rely on this business for a period of time in the future, and it is essential to worship the ancestors, although he does not consider himself to be a person in this business.
"But, Brother Xu, is this really your family's ancestral inheritance?" After worshipping Guo Pu, Lu Qiushi looked around and asked, "Anyway, your family is also a well-known family, why is the furnishings in this room, except for the two sets of tables and chairs, which are still in line with the saying of sitting north and facing south, the others seem to be very casual?" β
"Hehe, fat man, do you still want to ask, why are the things in this house so long, and they don't feel modern at all?" Xu Guangchao was not in a hurry to explain.
Lu Qiushi nodded and said: "Yes, not to mention the grandeur of the company's layout, at least there must be air conditioning, how hot is it in the summer, how can you stand it?" β
"There's no way, the old man is a little old-fashioned, unwilling, saying that we are from a family of Kanyu, handed down by our ancestors, everything must have an antique taste, and he and my mother are not afraid of the heat, even the safe, if I hadn't insisted at the beginning, I was afraid that the magic weapons handed down from my ancestors would be remembered, I wouldn't buy it." Xu Guangchao still agrees with Lu Qiushi's statement.
"But it doesn't matter, now it's up to the two of us to have the final say, let's clean up today, buy two computers tomorrow, an air conditioner, and then pull a network cable." As for the other vain things, I think forget it, with the strength of the two of us, if they believe in us, they will invite us, if they don't trust us just because our company is too simple, then pull us down. There are too many societies now, and if you don't have any ability, you can win people by relying on packaging! β
Regarding Xu Guangchao's words, Lu Qiushi has no opinion, the truth is that everything depends on strength, which is also one of the views that Lu Qiushi believes.
"By the way, my brother will settle the accounts, fatty, we have to think about the rules."
"Brother Xu, say it."
"Okay, fat man, then according to what we said before, I am mainly responsible for things like Feng Shui for people, and you are mainly responsible for things like catching ghosts, and we'll split the profits in half, how about it?"
Lu Qiushi hurriedly shook his head and refused: "How can this be done, Brother Xu, I know that you are taking care of me, but how can I make you suffer such a big loss, this is originally your family's industry, you count me and I have already taken a big advantage, so let's make a profit, you seven and I three." β
"No, no, no," Xu Guangchao said three times in a row, "That's too unfair to you, you must know that ghost hunting is not a simple matter, and the profit is divided in half." β
Lu Qiushi saw Xu Guangchao's tough attitude, and he was also very helpless, thought about it and said: "Anyway, I can't be half of you, so let's do it, I'm only responsible for catching ghosts, what do you want to look at feng shui, naming including contacting customers and the like are all up to you, as for ghost hunting, if I think I can't deal with it, I have the right to give up this business, what do you think?" β
Xu Guangchao was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay, just do as you say, the profit is four or six, you are four and I are six, and we can't change it." β
"That, okay, Brother Xu, thank you." Lu Qiu really understood Xu Guangchao's care for him, and according to this division, he had already taken a lot of advantage.
"Go, go, thank you," Xu Guangchao waved his hand, "It's all my own brothers, what is there to thank, don't play false, when the time comes, our brothers will work together and make more money, that's true!" β
"It's certain to make money, with our brother's ability, it's impossible not to make money!"
"Hahaha!" The empty room resounded with the hearty laughter of two young men, full of hope and longing for the future, and it was unknown whether there was anything else mixed in the laughter.
