Zhao Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy shit, it's true."
She thought about the more than five hundred yuan she had spent inviting ghosts to a late-night snack, plus the cost of food these past few days.
There was a little over eight thousand left in her card.
At the current rate of follower growth, she was heading towards starvation.
The video that Wu Jiaxin had posted earlier had lost its momentum.
No one had come to buy talismans.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Zhao Yan became. It was time to go out and earn some money.
"Xinxin, you still have the contact information for that bald uncle, right?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Yes, Sister Zhao. Are we going to do a job today?" Wu Jiaxin opened her backpack and found the phone number.
"Yes, we need to set off," Zhao Yan said.
"Okay, then I'll call him to let him know first." Wu Jiaxin took out her phone.
Zhao Yan opened her bag and tidied up the contents.
After she finished, Wu Jiaxin said, "Sister Zhao, I've notified him. That uncle is at home today."
"Alright, let's go then," Zhao Yan said.
As they stepped out the door, she couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Xinxin, I haven't asked you yet, when are you going back to school?"
Wu Jiaxin replied, "I'm already in my senior year, I can sign contracts with companies now."
"It's difficult to find employment now, it's better to start a business with Sister Zhao."
"There aren't many academic issues with the school."
Zhao Yan said in surprise, "Wouldn't it be a waste for you to work with me when you're attending such a good school?"
"No, no, Sister Zhao, you have no idea how hard it is to find a job now. I've sent out so many resumes, either I don't like them, or the ones I like don't like me."
Zhao Yan nodded in understanding, looking troubled, "Xinxin, you know, I don't actually have much money in my pocket..."
Before she could finish, Wu Jiaxin waved her hand and said, "As long as you give me enough to eat, working with Sister Zhao is comfortable, and I don't have to suffer workplace pua!"
"I knew a girl before who suffered workplace pua from her male colleagues, which made her emotions very abnormal. She used to be a confident girl, but now she's very insecure and self-deprecating."
"What is workplace pua?" Zhao Yan asked, confused.
She had never worked before and didn't know.
"Workplace pua is when superiors undermine their subordinates, exerting psychological control over them, also known as workplace humiliation management."
"No matter what you do, it's nothing to them. They will constantly negate and attack you from all angles, even insulting your dignity."
Zhao Yan couldn't help but shiver, "That's terrifying!"
"It is," Wu Jiaxin said.
"Then you should stay with me. My master told me that the work I do is a special skill."
Speaking of which, Zhao Yan picked up her helmet and handed it to Wu Jiaxin.
Wu Jiaxin took the helmet and put it on, sitting behind her.
"Sister Ma, thank you for looking after the shop."
"Okay! Goodbye Boss Zhao, goodbye Xinxin!" Ma Qingqing floated inside the house, waving goodbye.
After Zhao Yan and the others left, Ma Qingqing controlled the broom and started cleaning.
Following the address given by the bald uncle, they arrived at Guanghui Village.
"Is this it?" Zhao Yan stopped the electric scooter at the village entrance and asked.
"Yes," Wu Jiaxin nodded. "Sister Zhao, should I call Uncle Hu?"
"Okay," Zhao Yan said.
Wu Jiaxin called Uncle Hu and told him they had arrived at the village entrance.
The other side asked Zhao Yan and the others to wait, saying they would be there soon.
Zhao Yan and the others waited for about four minutes and saw Uncle Hu's bald head, which was shiny and reflected the sunlight.
Zhao Yan rode the electric scooter towards Uncle Hu.
"Master Zhao, just follow the village road, my house is the third from the end at the village tail," Uncle Hu said, pointing to the village road.
"Okay, then Uncle Hu, we'll head over first," Zhao Yan said.
If Uncle Hu were a bit shorter, he could have ridden with them, but he was too sturdy.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be right there."
They rode to the end of the village, and Wu Jiaxin pointed to the three-story villa, "Sister Zhao! This must be it! I didn't realize Uncle Hu was quite wealthy."
Zhao Yan stopped the electric scooter and waited for Uncle Hu to walk over.
She took a look at the feng shui of Uncle Hu's three-story villa.
Uncle Hu jogged over and said, "Master Zhao, please come in."
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, the feng shui of your house is quite good."
"The house is the body, water is the veins, earth is the flesh, grass is the hair."
"Your house's feng shui has the Yang Mountain on the left, with sunlight bringing prosperity, and water veins on the right, a crouching dragon!"
"Qian Mountain, Qian direction, water flows towards Qian, Qian peak produces scholars."
"Boss Hu, do you have a son who is about to take the college entrance examination!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the top scorer."
Uncle Hu's eyes widened, "Master Zhao, you are truly amazing. I do have a son who is taking the college entrance examination this year."
Zhao Yan took out a talisman from her bag.
"This is a Tranquility Talisman. It can calm the mind and help your son. Boss Hu, you definitely need to buy this talisman!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.
The words "top scorer" made Boss Hu grin from ear to ear. He immediately took out his phone and said, "I must buy one."
"Alipay received 1500 yuan."
"Hey, hey, hey! Uncle Hu, you've given too much. One thousand yuan is enough, I won't accept more!" Zhao Yan said sternly.
"Master Zhao, you're such a strange person, why would you dislike having too much money?" Uncle Hu said with a wry smile.
"There are no rules, no order. The price is set, we will do as the price dictates. Not a cent less, not a cent more."
Uncle Hu patted his shiny bald head, "Master Zhao, you're a good person!"
Wu Jiaxin held her DSLR camera and, like a news reporter, filmed Zhao Yan and Uncle Hu.
Zhao Yan pointed at Wu Jiaxin and said, "Uncle Hu, I want to make a video. Can I film you, your family, and your house?"
"If not, then I won't film."
Uncle Hu waved his hand confidently and said, "Of course, you can film. Don't mind my casual attire, I'm quite photogenic!"
"A reporter interviewed the plantation before, and I was working there. I was accidentally interviewed. When I appeared on TV, I looked so good that all the old women in the village were smitten with me."
"Haha! Awesome!" Zhao Yan gave him a thumbs up.
Uncle Hu proudly raised his head and smiled, "Master Zhao, what's the procedure for my father's matter?"
"We need to call the soul!" Zhao Yan said.
"How do we call it?" Uncle Hu asked.
"Gather all your aunts, uncles, and your father's close friends, brothers, and younger brothers. Everyone should gather together."
"Cry if you need to cry, shout if you need to shout!"
"We need to build up the momentum, so your father can hear it."
