333: Chapter 327 You Are Suitable to be a Scavenger…
The future, Chen Hai didn’t discuss much with Huang Guangyu.
After all, fourteen years is far too lengthy.
He could only be sure that Huang Guangyu had a good fourteen-year stretch ahead of him, where he would sail smoothly in whatever he did.
As for the imprisonment that would come afterwards, what was that all about?
Even Chen Hai couldn’t be entirely clear.
After Huang Guangyu left, it became quiet around Chen Hai once again.
His Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd set its fees, and they were listed plainly.
Under normal circumstances, common folks, even though they might want to come for a reading or divination, would be deterred merely by the price alone.
In recent times, Chen Hai had completed a few business deals, but they were all through referrals.
His readings and divinations, although incredibly accurate, required some time to be validated.
For his business to truly pick up, it needed time to ferment and earn a solid reputation.
At the current rate, making one deal every three to five days was already considered quite good.
“Boss, customers who’ve visited us, they call you a master with utmost respect in your presence!”
“They’re absolutely amazed by your ability!”
“Anyway, you’re free now, so why not help me with a divination, okay?”
Miss Wang Jinhua at the reception, while pouring tea for Chen Hai, hesitated for a while before tentatively making her request.
Frankly speaking, having received a modern education, she would definitely not have believed in divination or fortune-telling before joining the Future Information Consulting Co., Ltd.
The reason she joined the company to become the proud receptionist was nothing more than the fact that the salary here was significantly higher than elsewhere.
Miss Wang had been working at the Future Information Consulting Company for only about a dozen or a score of days.
During this time, Chen Hai had made how much money from the few deals?
Wang Jinhua certainly had a rough idea.
As the receptionist, who were these customers to her company and what was their attitude towards her boss Chen Hai?
No one knew better than she did.
Although she hadn’t been working there long, unconsciously, even she, who originally didn’t believe in divination and fortune-telling, began to truly admire her boss’s skills.
Truth be told, she had been wanting to ask her boss for a divination for herself.
Unfortunately, due to her limited finances, she hesitated for many days, unable to bring up the matter.
Until today, seeing her boss killing time reading magazines, she finally mustered the courage to ask while helping Chen Hai pour tea!
“You want a divination?” A bit surprised, Chen Hai lifted his head, looking at Wang Jinhua with a curious expression.
“Boss, I’m aware of the rules for your divination!”
“One hundred thousand yuan for a reading, but I can’t come up with that sum right now.
You can deduct it slowly from my salary!”
“If you feel that deducting one hundred thousand from my salary isn’t quite right, I can give you an IOU.”
“If it’s truly because of your guidance that I achieve success in my career, then I…
I…
I’ll work for you, letting you be the behind-the-scenes boss…”
Under Chen Hai’s gaze, she felt quite embarrassed.
Wang Jinhua, with her head bowed and her cheeks flushed red as a monkey’s behind, stammered out hurriedly.
“They said it would be deducted from my salary, but I only make five hundred yuan a month.
Even if I didn’t eat or drink, I’d only make six thousand yuan in a year.”
“With my current salary, the fees Chen Hai would charge me for a divination would require me to work for free for over ten years just to pay it off.”
Maybe because she couldn’t find any leverage that would appeal to Chen Hai, she ended up making the outrageous promise to let Chen Hai be the silent partner behind her career.
“Miss Wang, you make it sound like I’m an unapproachable boss!”
“You’re lucky to work at my company, we’re fated to cross paths.
Anyway, I’m not doing anything at the moment, so I’ll just casually read your face and give you a couple of tips!”
“As for the payment, I know you can’t afford it right now.
There’s no rush; we can talk about it when you’re able to.”
Watching Wang Jinhua’s embarrassed face, seemingly at a loss for words, Chen Hai covered his mouth and chuckled.
After studying Miss Wang’s features, he continued, “Compared to that previous Boss Huang, you’re quite different.”
“If you were in ancient times, the most suitable job for you would be…running a brothel.”
“Ah…” Chen Hai hadn’t even finished speaking when Wang Jinhua gasped in shock.
“Miss Wang, having you as a receptionist here is really a waste of your talent!”
“Our boss’s private club is still only half built.”
“Otherwise, once it’s finished, letting you manage it would truly make the most of your abilities!”
Xiang Dong, who had been idly waiting here, hurried over the moment he heard.
With a mischievous grin and not a care in the world, he teased Wang Jinhua.
“Boss, are you sure you’re not joking?
Am I really not cut out for business and can only be a madam?”
With her mood severely dampened, Wang Jinhua shot Xiang Dong a fierce glare and sought confirmation from Chen Hai with a tearful voice.
Soldiers who don’t aspire to be generals are not good soldiers.
Even though she was just a receptionist at Future Information Consulting Company, making only five hundred yuan a month, her heart harbored ambitions.
If she was really prepared to live aimlessly.
Knowing that seeking guidance from her boss would be effective but also prohibitively expensive, she wouldn’t dare ask him for career advice.
“Miss Wang, I only said that in ancient times, you’d be fit to be a madam.
Why the rush?”
Unpredictably profound, Chen Hai smiled faintly and added, “Considering the current situation in the country, the entertainment industry should soon see rapid development.”
“According to your Life Chart, you’re not suited for the spotlight.
However, you could sign up some actors and help them make connections so they can follow you for a living.”
“Using a more modern term, the profession you should pursue is called a Star Agent.”
“In this industry, as long as you’re willing to work hard, you can surely achieve great success and build a career.”
“Of course, for now, your foundation is still lacking.”
“Start by working as a receptionist here for one or two years, build some connections, and then shift to the entertainment industry, which should be more beneficial for your career!”
At this point, Chen Hai stopped talking, not continuing any further.
He had said everything that needed to be said!
If the receptionist before him could really take his advice to heart, becoming a business mogul like Elder Huang might be unlikely, but she could at least make it as a Golden Godmother in the entertainment industry!
Of course, the future isn’t set in stone; my divinations don’t necessarily predict the exact truth.
How things will ultimately turn out still depends on how Miss Wang chooses to seize the opportunities in front of her!
