Chapter 1282 Cao Gang!
You know nothing!
Huo Du stepped forward, surveyed everyone, and reprimanded, "What do you know! Our Huo family is in trouble, my sister had no idea, how could she help? It's all because of Mr. Chen!"
Everyone shut their mouths obediently, but they still didn't quite believe Huo Du.
"Mr. Chen, please don't listen to their nonsense. They are ignorant. They haven't seen your skills, otherwise, they would surely be convinced."
Huo Du said with a smile.
Initially, he was the most opposed to Chen Xuan, but ever since he witnessed Chen Xuan's authority, he had become his biggest supporter.
Chen Xuan didn't pay much attention to this.
He merely glanced at the Huo family members, and then his gaze suddenly fixed on one of them. He spoke, "You, your fortune is declining. You must have lost a large sum of money this month, and your forehead is dark. You are likely facing a major disaster."
"You... you're talking nonsense. I made a large sum of money for the family last month, how could I lose money?" The middle-aged man's face changed, and then he gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right, Uncle Tao's tea restaurant made millions last month. Among us Huo family members, he's among the best!"
"Nonsense!"
"And what major disaster!"
Huo Du was also stunned for a moment and whispered to Chen Xuan, "I've seen Uncle Tao's business reports. He really made millions. For a tea restaurant of that scale, making a million a month is definitely outstanding!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's flustered expression vanished!
He glared at Chen Xuan fiercely and said, "Kid, it's obvious you're here to cheat and swindle the Huo family in the capital. Get out now!"
Chen Xuan was unfazed, "That means the reports are fake. Anyway, based on his appearance, he absolutely couldn't have made money."
Hearing this, the others accused Chen Xuan again. However, only the middle-aged man was greatly surprised and became extremely convinced of Chen Xuan. If he hadn't been unable to admit it, he would have clung to Chen Xuan's leg right now and asked him for guidance.
"Even the most powerful feng shui masters can sometimes be mistaken. Mr. Chen, please come inside." Huo Guangtai recovered and said with a smile.
Huo Guangtai was giving Chen Xuan an out, and Chen Xuan naturally understood. He didn't need to argue further, so he turned to walk into the room.
But before he could even lift his leg, a voice suddenly rang out, "The accounts have been checked! The accounts have been checked!"
A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, who looked scholarly, came rushing over.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Uncle Tao's face immediately changed.
"Accountant Jia, why are you in such a hurry? What accounts have been checked?" Huo Guangtai asked with a frown.
"It was said that over a million was missing last month, and I finally know why."
This man with black-rimmed glasses, named Jia Xuewen, was a graduate of a prestigious university and had been working as an accountant for the Huo family. However, he couldn't figure out where over a million was missing from last month's total accounts. Finally, Jia Xuewen was reprimanded by the Huo family, and his bonus for last month was not paid.
But Jia Xuewen was not disheartened. When he had free time, he reviewed the accounts. His efforts paid off, and he finally found a loophole. So, he rushed over in a hurry.
"What exactly is going on?" Huo Guangtai's interest was also piqued.
A million wasn't a lot, but the fact that the money was missing without explanation made Huo Guangtai feel wronged. More importantly, he worried that there was a mole in the family.
"That's something Uncle Tao should answer!" Accountant Jia looked at Uncle Tao with an unfriendly expression.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Huo Guangtai also looked over.
Uncle Tao was already guilty, and coupled with Chen Xuan's exposure just now, he was even more flustered. He immediately said, "I'll say it, I'll say it! It's... last month the tea restaurant lost hundreds of thousands, so I misappropriated over a million in material costs..."
"You scoundrel!"
Huo Guangtai said furiously, "Guards, take him away and administer family punishment!"
"Patriarch, I'll never dare again, I'll never dare again!"
Soon, several security guards rushed over, but no matter how Uncle Tao pleaded, he couldn't change Huo Guangtai's mind.
The people around looked at each other in astonishment.
Hey, Chen Xuan was really right. Uncle Tao not only had bad luck but was also about to have great misfortune!
This young man was truly a master!
"Master, can you tell me about my fortune? What should I do to have good fortune!"
"Master, my wife has been unable to conceive. Can you see if it's related to feng shui and metaphysics?"
"Master..."
The Huo family members swarmed forward, surrounding Chen Xuan, all talking at once, creating a lively scene.
Just moments ago, they had been full of doubt towards Chen Xuan, treating him as a big骗子 (piànzi - swindler). But now, they firmly believed in him!
Chen Xuan: "......"
Your change of attitude is truly too fast!
"What kind of conduct is this! Mr. Chen has matters to discuss with me, and there are important guests arriving later!"
Huo Guangtai shouted coldly.
But in his heart, he was overjoyed.
With Chen Xuan's abilities, he certainly wouldn't embarrass him in front of that important figure from the Cao family in the capital!
Upon hearing this, the Huo family members dared not pester Chen Xuan further and could only slowly retreat, but their reluctance was evident.
"Mr. Chen, please!" Huo Guangtai said hastily.
Chen Xuan did not hesitate, nodded slightly, and stepped forward.
Entering the room, a servant soon brought a cup of Mingqian Longjing tea, immediately filling the room with fragrance. This Mingqian Longjing tea was definitely valuable.
Before even half a cup of tea was finished, a loud voice suddenly sounded, "Mr. Cao Gang has arrived!"
Before the voice faded, a servant led in a middle-aged man with an imposing demeanor, dressed in a suit.
"Mr. Cao! Your visit truly brings glory to my humble abode!"
Huo Guangtai jumped up instantly and greeted him with a smiling face, his posture being extremely humble.
However, this was normal. This Cao Gang was from the Cao family in the capital, and his status was very noble. Compared to him, Huo Guangtai's status was vastly inferior.
If it weren't for Huo Guangtai incidentally getting to know Cao Gang, he might never have had the chance to form a connection with him in his lifetime.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over this middle-aged man and he was immediately stunned.
This middle-aged man had a dark forehead, yet his face was full of rosy glow, and golden energy swirled around his head. This was undoubtedly the appearance of someone whose career was booming. But why was his forehead dark?
And according to Huo Guangtai, this person's luck hadn't been very good recently. Why was that?
He opened his heavenly eye and carefully examined the man's physiognomy, finally discovering the clue!
"Good, good, good..."
Facing the respectful Huo Guangtai, Cao Gang merely nodded slightly, looking around as if searching for something.
"Mr. Cao, I have prepared a humble feast. Please do not be offended by any shortcomings in my hospitality!" Huo Guangtai said with a smile.
Cao Gang waved his hand and said, "There's no need for a meal. Where is the feng shui master?"
When someone's life was in danger, who had the time to worry about eating!
"Uh..."
Huo Guangtai was momentarily embarrassed, but he quickly composed himself, pointed at Chen Xuan, and said, "This Mr. Chen Xuan is the feng shui master who is helping our Huo family solve their troubles!"
