Shen Qiong decisively refused, and the meeting ended in frustration.

On the way back to the hotel, Yao Hongguang experienced the unpleasantness of being rejected for the first time!

"Uncle Li, why is this guy so stubborn! I was clearly offering him money, and he refused?" Yao Hongguang was very annoyed.

"I don't understand either! At first, I thought you were making a big deal out of nothing! It shouldn't cost that much to invite this kind of rural fortune-telling master."

Yao Hongguang gave a wry smile, "I've really seen Master Shen's temper. He's not old, but he's very strict with his rules."

"People in this line of work are all eccentric, young master. You don't need to take it to heart."

Yao Hongguang sighed, "No way! I specifically came all the way to Lingxi City to have him tell my fortune. Are we just going to leave like this?"

Steward Li, who was driving, hesitated for a moment and said, "The old master seems to have heard about this. Fifty thousand yuan isn't much, but to spend it on fortune-telling, I'm afraid he won't agree."

"I know my dad doesn't believe in this stuff, so I wasn't planning on telling him. How did he find out?" Yao Hongguang frowned, staring out the window.

Silence followed, and Steward Li didn't say anything.

"Forget it, let's go back to the hotel first! I still have to accompany my mother to Europe after a while. Since people don't want the money that's being offered, what else can I do!"

Weibo was already buzzing with excitement!

As soon as the picture of fifty thousand yuan in cash was posted online, it immediately garnered countless likes on Chen Yuxiang's Weibo, followed by a flood of comments.

"This is the first time I've seen so much money in my life."

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling to look at the computer."

"I want to know if Master Shen is accepting disciples. At the very least, I can be an assistant or something."

"Forget it, upstairs! Look in the mirror. If your looks aren't a ninety, Master Shen definitely won't be interested."

"Agreed. Master Shen's current assistant is a stunner. She's a pleasure to look at. Master Shen really has good fortune."

"Fifty thousand yuan! Oh my god! The last time I had Master Shen tell my fortune, I only paid five hundred!!!"

"I finally understand why it's 'gifts based on fate, donations at will'! Master Shen is clearly not lacking money."

"Worship Master Shen. We were worried that if too many wealthy people sought Master Shen's fortune-telling, he would ignore us common folk. It seems we were wrong!"

"I weakly ask, where is the wealthy patron who had Master Shen tell their fortune? I want to be friends with them."

"Yeah! Where's the wealthy patron? Why are there no photos of them? Please share photos of the wealthy patron!"

Someone found the conversation between Shen Qiong and Yao Hongguang on Dian Niang, and immediately took a screenshot and posted it. "Found the truth! So the wealthy patron is a big shot on Dian Niang, and Master Shen even said he would tell them fortunes for free before, but later changed it to fifty thousand yuan per reading."

"Explosive news! Didn't you all see? Master Shen said he might have to pay tenfold, wouldn't that be five million yuan? Master Shen is indeed deeply hidden, possessing a net worth of five million."

"You upstairs are an idiot! Master Shen doesn't need five million. Have you ever seen anyone say Master Shen's fortune-telling was inaccurate?"

"Yes! They're in jail now!"

"It's hard to say! Everyone makes mistakes, even the best can slip up. I think Master Shen should be more cautious. If he really messes up, it'll be disastrous."

"I also think Master Shen is afraid of making a mistake, which is why he didn't dare to tell fortunes for that person. Someone who can casually produce such a large sum of money must be extraordinary!"

"I'm going to try. I'll find some obscure way to have Master Shen tell my fortune. I don't believe he's that amazing!"

"Young man, the idea is good! But first, you need to successfully make an appointment!"

"Please teach me how to make a successful appointment! Please share your strategy."

"Please share your strategy!"

Yao Hongguang was also browsing Shen Qiong's Weibo. He frowned in surprise, "Could it be that I really need to linger around Shili Street to increase the chance of a successful appointment?"

He did a quick search on Baidu, and there really was such a saying. Besides the announcement posted by Shen Qiong himself, many people had mentioned that they had turned around in the vicinity before their appointment was confirmed and then received a text notification.

Yao Hongguang was unconvinced. The more people praised Shen Qiong on Weibo, the more curious he became. Why could others get their fortunes told with casual donations for five hundred yuan, but he couldn't even with fifty thousand?

Meanwhile, another WeChat group also became lively.

This was Lu Caishuang's university WeChat group. Since Shen Qiong wasn't in it, discussions about him naturally took place there.

"Shen Qiong didn't tell our fortunes that day, so everyone must have been a little upset. But after seeing this Weibo post, I'm convinced." Zhu Zhengzhi casually sent the link.

Jiang Lekang gritted his teeth with hatred for Shen Qiong and immediately clicked to see what kind of news this guy was up to again.

After reading the Weibo link shared by his classmate, he was speechless. Fifty thousand yuan to have his fortune told, and he still refused!

The reason was that he hadn't made an appointment?

"No wonder Shen Qiong didn't help us with our fortunes. It turns out that even fifty thousand yuan couldn't pry open his golden mouth."

"I said why that kid found a goddess-level girlfriend. He really made a name for himself!"

"It's over. I was jealous of him before, but now I don't even have the heart to be jealous! Why can the difference between people be so huge?"

Shen Qiong didn't care what people outside were saying. He was heartbroken nonetheless.

At this moment, Shen Qiong was on the phone explaining to that little girl Ren Tianxue, "Don't worry! It's not that I'm being stubborn, but there are rules that must be followed. They are rules passed down in my family, and I can't break them. If I break the rules, my fortunes won't be accurate."

Ren Tianxue, wearing pink pajamas, sat on the bed hugging her blue Doraemon doll, pouting and saying, "I was so angry with you at the time!"

"I really didn't expect him to actually show up," Shen Qiong said helplessly.

She lightly swept her long hair aside, her loose-fitting pajamas revealing her alluring figure. If Shen Qiong saw this, he would surely lose his beastly nature.

"So what do you think we should do now? They left in a huff after being snubbed," she said regretfully.

"Don't worry! They'll be back. Of course, whether the appointment is successful will depend on fate," Shen Qiong said with a smile.

She rolled to the other side of the bed, tucking the quilt between her legs. "Are you sure?" Her voice clearly lacked belief.

"Calm down. Don't you believe what I say?" Shen Qiong felt that since Yao Hongguang had traveled so far, he wouldn't give up that easily!

Of course, his guess was correct. Yao Hongguang was indeed unwilling to leave just like that, but he hadn't anticipated that the time of the wealthy was very precious.

She blinked, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and she chuckled, "It's not my money anyway. You can be willful, do as you please."

Shen Qiong smiled wryly and shook his head. Now, he could only hope that the other party would really come back, otherwise, he had no other options.

Sigh, why is earning money so difficult
