When Su Long and Leng Chuan accompanied Ye Fang to Qianmen Street, they found that there were tourists and open shops on the street. There were even many young college students who came to Qianmen Street to take pictures after the snow. , still at midnight, the coldest time.

"I never knew there were so many people at the front door at this point." Su Long sighed.

"The key is that we have never had this time to go shopping before." Leng Chuan added.

Su Long, Leng Chuan and four bodyguards guarded Ye Fang in the center. Ye Fang walked aimlessly on Qianmen Street. From time to time, Ye Fang couldn't help but glance at the men and women passing by Ye Fang.

Ye Fang put his hands in his pockets and let the cold wind blow against him. He breathed in the dry coolness in the air, and his whole body seemed to feel much better.

At this time, Ye Fang noticed that there was a hut in the narrow aisle between the two shops. The room was not big, with an area of ​​only three to five square meters. There was a fortune telling written on the door.

Through the window, I vaguely saw an old man sitting inside. He was very old and had gray hair. Occasionally, tourists would come in and sit for a while, and then come out with a piece of paper in their hands. Most of them had expressions on their faces. Happy.

Ye Fang asked Su Long and others to guard the door while he knocked on the door.

"Sir, is this a word test or a fortune telling?" the old man asked habitually when he saw guests coming in.

"Old man, how do you measure words, and how do you calculate your life?" Ye Fang asked without raising his head as he stamped the snow on his feet.

"Guest, please sit down!"

In a small room, Ye Fang and the old man were sitting across the table from each other. The old man's eyes were bright and bright. When he saw Ye Fang, his eyes paused slightly, and then returned to normal.

"To test words, ask the guest to write a word at will, and I will interpret it. If the answer is wrong, no money will be given. If the guest feels that the solution is acceptable, he can give a reward as he likes, one hundred is not too much, and one yuan is not too little. Fortune teller, guest Tell me your birth date and I will approve it! Marriage, career, and family can all be counted," the old man said confidently.

Ye Fang didn't think of any words for a while. As for the birthday, because Ye Fang grew up in an orphanage, the birthday time is probably not that accurate.

"Look at your face." Ye Fang said deliberately.

"That's okay. I wonder what the guest wants to ask?" the old man asked.

"Just talk casually." Ye Fang said nonchalantly.

"Then what does the guest want to ask?"

"Let's ask about career first."

"The guest has great ambitions and has achieved fame at a young age, and his future prospects are limitless."

Ye Fang nodded with a smile and said, "I guess if ten people come to meet you, nine of them will say the same thing."

The old man chuckled and said, "Others calculate the future, but the guests calculate the present. Whether it is accurate or not, the guest should have a scale in his mind."

"Let's talk about family." Ye Fang continued.

"This family." The old man took a deep look at Ye Fang and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, sir must have just experienced the pain of losing his wife."

Ye Fang's expression changed slightly and he said, "Continue."

"The guest's life is extremely valuable, and his wealth is as great as the country's. However, if the relationship is missing, you will have no wife to accompany you until the end of your life. The guest's zodiac sign is Sha Po Lang. People with this zodiac sign have a turbulent life. They like movement but don't like silence. Blessings come from movement, and the wealth of the world can be gathered. As the saying goes, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop", it means you are destined to wander throughout your life, with ups and downs. Even if you get married with this fate, your spouse will inevitably end up with a violent death in the end. "

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Fang was speechless for a long time, sighed and said, "It means that I will be alone all my life."

The old man nodded and said, "There is a cycle of heaven, and there must be a cause and an effect. God is fair to everyone. The merits of what you have done are in the present and will benefit the future. The greater the cause, the greater the effect. This It is doomed that your relationship and career will not be successful. Unless..."

The old man paused deliberately.

"Unless what?" Ye Fang asked.

"Unless one day, you can put down all your career, you can get as much as you give up. But the guests carry too many people's karma. If you are alone, everyone's karma will be there. If you are no longer there, everyone's karma will be gone. , millions of people will change because of your single cause and effect change. In other words, you are now responsible for the wealth and lives of countless people, and there is no way to have both."

The old man's voice was low, especially infectious and penetrating in the thick night, and the small space was filled with a strong fatalistic tone.

Ye Fang nodded, stood up and said, "I understand, thank you, old man. Su Long."

"Brother Ye." Su Long heard Ye Fang's voice and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Give me money." Ye Fang said casually

Su Long took out five hundred yuan and put it on the table.

"Old man, I have another question. Are my parents still alive?" Ye Fang asked.

"I think the guest's parents died early, and they are probably no longer alive." The old man replied.

"Thank you!" Ye Fang opened the door and left the hut.

"Let's go home." Ye Fang was a little uninterested.

Su Long didn't know what the old man said to Ye Fang, but within half an hour, there was some unknown aura on Ye Fang's body. Only Su Long, who was often with Ye Fang, could feel it.

Back in Xiyuan, Ye Fang went straight back to his room without eating anything, and told Su Long not to wake him up tomorrow morning.

The next day, Ye Fang didn't get up at three o'clock in the morning. Su Long couldn't urge him, so he had to wait quietly outside. It wasn't until noon that Ye Fang opened the door and walked out.

"Brother Ye, Qin Yulong is here." Su Long said.

"Yes, I understand. Let him wait." Ye Fang walked slowly towards the front yard after washing.

Ye Fang knew very well that the reason why Qin Yulong came to see him was naturally because of the acquisition of Texas Instruments. Since the last meeting, Ye Fang has been closed to the public for two months due to Xiaozhuang's affairs, which temporarily put the acquisition of Texas Instruments on hold. Qin Yulong was so anxious that he got angry. He received a call from Qin Yuhua this morning, and Qin Yulong rushed there immediately. Xiyuan.

Qin Yuhua also knew that Ye Fang attended the group's year-end meeting last night, and guessed that Ye Fang should have adjusted, so he quickly called Qin Yulong and asked him to go to Ye Fang to discuss the acquisition immediately and finalize the matter as soon as possible.

On the way to the front yard, Qin Yuhua also called Ye Fang. In addition to asking about Ye Fang's current situation, he also told Ye Fang about the acquisition with Qin Yulong. What he meant was that he hoped to make it happen as soon as possible. this acquisition.

After Ye Fang agreed, he hung up the phone, handed the phone to Su Long, and said, "Let the kitchen prepare some food and send it over."

When he came to the private room in the front yard, he saw Qin Yulong with an anxious face. When Qin Yulong saw Ye Fang, he was like seeing a savior. The two exchanged a few words.

Then the waiter brought Ye Fang porridge, steamed buns and a plate of pickles. Ye Fang said to Qin Yulong, "Mr. Qin, let's eat some together."

Qin Yulong glanced at the food on the table, forced out a smile and said, "Mr. Ye has such a big industry, is this what you eat for lunch?"

"This is my breakfast. I came back too late last night, so I got up a little late in the morning." Ye Fang said without raising his head.

"Mr. Ye, I'm here to talk to you about the acquisition today. I don't know when we can sign the agreement and make the payment. Now the Qin Group is relying on this fund to make money."

"My godmother called me just now. I can sign it right away. If you prepare the documents tomorrow, go to Xiyuan and sign the contract here."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye! Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Qin Yulong was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"That's it, okay?" After saying this, Ye Fang turned to look at Qin Yulong, indicating that Qin Yulong could leave.

"Okay, okay. I won't delay Mr. Ye's meal." Qin Yulong left Xiyuan with a satisfied look on his face.

As soon as Qin Yulong got into his car, he was suddenly stopped by a car...
