Hearing Ke Mingmei’s question, Qin Qing’s mind raced. In fact, that Chi woman did have some skills, but she didn’t plan to tell Ke Mingmei and Du Lan that. If the two of them knew what that woman really was capable of, they might immediately turn around to fawn on her. How could she tolerate that?
Moreover, she was only being friendly with them on the surface and didn’t really care about their fates – whether they lived or died had nothing to do with her. So, Qin Qing immediately feigned a cold snort and said, “Do you think you can believe the words of a little girl? If those lousy pieces of paper of hers are useful, I’ll give you my head to kick around like a ball. I’m buying those lousy pieces of paper for my own reasons. Sooner or later, I’ll show Director Wang and everyone in the film crew this Chi woman’s true colors!”
Qin Qing paused for a moment, then added a few more slanderous words, saying that the talismans sold by that Chi woman were very expensive. One talisman cost 100,000 yuan. To think that she dared to open this lion’s mouth – wasn’t she afraid of being struck by lightning for her greed? Qin Qing’s tone was filled with contempt.
Qin Qing’s words were very pleasing to Du Lan’s ears, who immediately gloated along with her. “That Chi woman is just too greedy. Not to mention being struck by lightning in the future, she’ll probably give birth to a child with no XX. She’ll be crushed after giving birth!”
Du Lan’s words were too vicious. Even if Ke Mingmei didn’t have a good impression of Chi Shuyan because of Qin Qing’s provocation, she felt a little uncomfortable listening to Du Lan.
Although she couldn’t be considered a good person, she still had a bottom line. She could curse an adult, but why curse a child?
Ke Mingmei looked at Du Lan, who was gloating and had a sinister expression on her face, and couldn’t help but look at Qin Qing, who was smiling broadly in agreement with Du Lan. She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart and made up her mind to stay away from the two of them after filming this movie.
Qin Qing still wanted to buy the talismans, but didn’t dare let Du Lan and Ke Mingmei see her anxiety at the same time. After walking them back to where they were staying, she turned around and immediately went to Chi Shuyan’s place.
Ke Mingmei didn’t enter her accommodation for a long while, but stared at Qin Qing as the latter hurried away. For some reason, she felt that Qin Qing was hiding something from her and Du Lan. She said that she didn’t believe that Chi Shuyan was some Master, and that the talismans she drew weren’t anything good, but why was she running off in such a fluster?
Ke Mingmei frowned. She racked her brain for a long time, but couldn’t think of anything, so she walked into the house.
In the living room of Chi Shuyan’s accommodation, the atmosphere lightened up after Qin Qing, Du Lan and Ke Mingmei left.
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were very dissatisfied with Master Chi’s willingness to sell talismans to Qin Qing. They wanted to say something, but hesitated. However, now wasn’t the time to broach this topic.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin, on the other hand, immediately introduced their good friends to Master Chi, such as Director Wang and Song Yanru, as well as the second and third male leads in the film crew. The two of them were quite famous in the entertainment industry, and had good looks and reliable temperaments. One was called Cao Zhengsong, and the other was Song Chu. There was also their very capable manager, Yan Zhengming, who had a good relationship with Yang Kun.
Of these people, Song Yanru and Yan Zhengming had the best relationship with Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin. As for the others, they were also on good terms, but not as close.
After the introductions, Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin immediately asked Master Chi for talismans for their friends, including Director Wang. Yang Kun was very good at socializing, so he smiled tactfully and said, “Master Chi… No, Shuyan, how many talismans can you give our friends? Any number is fine, as long as they can protect our lives. Right, we don’t lack money at all, so Master Chi, no need to take the price into account!”
Yang Kun naturally wanted to buy more talismans for his friends. No matter how many of these things there were, they were all good, and he would never regret buying them.
In the future, he probably wouldn’t be able to buy them even if he had the money. Besides, no matter how much money he had, he wouldn’t be able to spend it if he was dead. So, Yang Kun didn’t hesitate to make the decision for his friends with Shenglin. In any case, they really didn’t lack money.
Yang Kun’s words were very nice. Chi Shuyan looked up at Yang Kun.
Yang Kun rubbed his nose awkwardly under Master Chi’s gaze. If it wasn’t for his life, he wouldn’t be so thick-skinned.
Yang Kun took a deep breath, and his gaze swept over Director Wang, Yan Zhengming and the others. He saw their eyes widen in disbelief and confusion as they looked at him like he was an idiot. F*ck, they would be incomparably grateful to him sooner or later. How dare they not believe Master Chi?
Ruan Shenglin immediately echoed Yang Kun.
When Director Wang and the others heard Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin’s words, they felt very embarrassed and stiff. They had a huge headache and didn’t know what to say at all. They hadn’t planned to buy any talismans to begin with, and had been tricked by Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin.
They didn’t understand. Why did Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin trust this young lady so much? They even said that they weren’t short of money. Even if they had money, they shouldn’t squander it like this.
Director Wang and Yan Zhengming, in particular, regretted coming over. The two of them were workaholics – nothing was more important than work to them. Wasn’t coming here to buy talismans a waste of time?
If it wasn’t for Yang Kun and Shenglin, the two of them would have found an excuse to leave immediately.
Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong also looked at each other. The two of them were a little young, and they were naturally considered juniors in front of Yang Kun and Film Emperor Ruan, so they had no choice but to listen.
On the contrary, no one expected Song Yanru to be the first to directly ask to buy talismans.
When Song Yanru said that she did want to buy a few talismans, Director Wang, Yan Zhengming and the others were all stupefied.
Song Yanru was a veteran female celebrity in her forties. She wasn’t short of money and had always adhered to the principle that it was better to believe than not. Of course, the reason she spoke wasn’t necessarily because she believed the young lady in front of her, but because she believed in Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin.
Before she bought the talismans, she asked Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin bluntly, “Are these talismans really as godly as you say?”
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin probably didn’t expect Song Yanru to be so blunt, and subconsciously nodded. As soon as they did, Song Yanru immediately said casually to Chi Shuyan, “Okay, young lady, I’ll buy a few of your talismans too. I’ll buy as many as Yang Kun and Shenglin did. Don’t worry, I’m not short of money!”
Chi Shuyan blinked at this Goddess Song in front of her, who looked like she wouldn’t be distressed even if all this money was wasted. Speaking of which, she really did find this goddess’s forthrightness a little rare. Her favorable impression of her soared. She smiled and nodded in agreement. She took out a high-grade level 4 Safety Talisman as well as some Exorcism Talismans, Exploding Talismans and Guiding Lightning Talismans from her pocket. After calculating the total price, at 100,000 per talisman, it came to a total of 1.6 million.
Chi Shuyan specially emphasized that each talisman cost 100,000.
Song Yanru didn’t think much of it. She was rich to begin with, and really didn’t lack money. One or two million really wasn’t much. Since she had decided to buy the talismans, she wouldn’t haggle. She took the goods with one hand and paid with the other, immediately transferring two million to Chi Shuyan – she waved the extra 400,000 off as a slip of her hand, and there was no need to give her the change.
Chi Shuyan already had a good impression of this goddess. Seeing how generous and straightforward she was, she gave her a few more Exorcism Talismans. Song Yanru didn’t say anything and just took them before stuffing them into her pocket and finding an excuse to leave.
Her actions stunned Director Wang, Yan Zhengming, Song Chu, and Cao Zhengsong – even Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were stupefied.
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun even wondered if Song Yanru already knew what Master Chi was capable of. Otherwise, why would she spend money so readily?
Yang Kun had never admired anyone in particular, but this time, he had to admire Song Yanru.
She was too fortunate. After buying so many talismans, she definitely wouldn’t regret it. Also, he saw how much Master Chi liked Song Yanru. Yang Kun was filled with envy and hatred. He really didn’t know if he should sigh at how discerning Song Yanru was or how lucky she was. No wonder she could always make money from investments before. At that moment, Yang Kun made up his mind that when he left the village, he would build a good relationship with Song Yanru and invest with her.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for what happened at Shenglin’s residence back then, he would probably be like the others and not believe Master Chi at all.
That was why he admired Song Yanru’s discerning eyes even more.
After Song Yanru left, Chi Shuyan’s eyes swept over Director Wang and the others. She saw that their gazes were complicated, and some of them were staring wide-eyed at Song Yanru as she left. Her mood suddenly improved a lot, and she said calmly, “You can decide for yourselves. If you want to buy talismans, just let me know. If you don’t want to buy them, that’s fine. I have never forced people to buy from me.”
