Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Cao Niannian's family wasn't well-off when she was young, so she was used to being frugal. She was also honest and upright, so when she studied taxation, she focused on learning about legal tax avoidance.

After all the details were settled, Xia Wange discovered that Cao Niannian had actually helped her legally save hundreds of thousands of yuan in taxes.

Xia Wange immediately sent a red envelope containing 2,000 yuan, and then patted her chest to assure Cao Niannian that she would pay her an extra fee every day, and that this extra fee would be settled daily, which would be higher than her salary.

Cao Niannian was deeply moved and kept expressing her determination to do a good job of what she was asked to do.

Seeing her grateful expression, Xia Wange said to her earnestly, "You should rest more and not overwork yourself. I will be looking for you here regularly, which is a stable source of income."

Hearing this, Cao Niannian felt a pang of sadness; she was certain that Master Xia could tell she was desperately short of money.

After Cao Niannian left the office, Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange and asked, "Did you figure something out?"

Cao Niannian's proposed methods for legitimate tax avoidance were quite basic, and Xia Wange couldn't possibly be unaware of them. She was subtly giving the other party money in a legitimate way.

Xia Wange shrugged. "She's strong-willed and a bit sensitive. Luckily, she's relatively naive since she just graduated, otherwise it would be quite difficult to give her money directly to help her out."

After saying that, Xia Wange leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said, "After all, I'm someone who makes around eight million a night, so I can use money to help others."

She had saved up her previous jade and other items by taking small orders, earning thousands or tens of thousands of yuan each. She never expected to earn so much money so quickly after officially opening her shop. Let her be a little smug for three minutes before she talks about it.

"Well... Sister Xia," Lu Qiu tilted her head slightly, "would you like to settle my payment for my trouble?"

"It's settled! Definitely settled!" Xia Wange's eyes lit up. She got up, ran out, and came back with a small wooden box. She opened it, pointed at the jade ball, and said, "Here, this is a tip."

Lu Qiu looked down at the two large balls and said uncertainly, "Could these be palm spin balls?"

"Boss, how come you're so smart?" Xia Wange took one out and placed it in Lu Qiu's hand. "Here, turn it around and see."

Although Lu Qiu's hand was a finger joint longer than Xia Wange's, he still had some difficulty holding a single palm-spin ball, let alone spinning it. Lu Qiu looked at her speechlessly.

Xia Wange chuckled awkwardly, "Try your best, try your best."

He examined the jade ball carefully and asked, "Do you think this looks like the one that ancient stone lions held in their mouths?"

Xia Wange compared them and said, "It really is true."

Lu Qiu was speechless. This thing can rotate?

Is this a reward for his hard work? This is clearly making him work hard and then ruining his career!

He realized that as long as it didn't involve metaphysics, Xia Wange was extremely unreliable, which manifested in two ways: tricking him and tricking him badly.

Despite the pitfalls, Lu Qiu still brought the two white jade balls with him when he went home.

When Lu Qiu returned home for dinner, his parents noticed that he was always looking at two white jade balls before eating. They couldn't help but ask him about it, but to their surprise, their usually taciturn son laughed and complained to them that his friend had given him the two white jade balls to play with as palm-spinning balls.

After Lu Qiu returned to his room, his parents exchanged a glance and began whispering to each other.

Lu's mother: "Your younger brother seems to be in a much better mood lately. Do you know why?"

Brother Lu: "I don't know, the family company has been quite busy lately."

Mr. Lu: "Money, money, money! All you ever think about is making money! Don't you care about your younger brother at all!"

Brother Lu: "But I heard that the night A Qiu didn't come home the other night, he took a girl to a hotel."

Lu's mother was shocked: "Really? He's changed his mind? He's in a relationship? Which family's daughter is she? Do you know?"

Brother Lu: "I don't know, I just heard about it."

Father Lu: "I heard, I heard. Don't you even care about your younger brother?"

Brother Lu said quietly, "...Given A-Qiu's temper, would I dare to inquire further? Would you dare? Aren't you retired? Go ahead and inquire. Besides, what's the point of me interfering? Once A-Qiu makes a decision, even if the earth explodes, it won't be able to change it."

Lu's mother and father remained silent.

Lu's mother patted Lu's father, "Anyway, it's a good thing that A-Qiu can stop caring about his leg. He's been much more lively lately and loves to talk."

Mr. Lu squeezed Mrs. Lu's hand. "Well, since things are developing in a positive direction, let's not interfere too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

After saying that, they went out for a walk together, leaving Brother Lu alone at the door in the wind.

They clearly don't dare to interfere, yet they make it sound so nice.

.

Cao Niannian, who was waiting for the bus at the station, felt that today was the luckiest day of her life. Her landlord had just urged her to pay the rent this morning and said that if she didn't pay, he would kick her out.

Just as she was preparing to take out a small loan to pay the rent, Master Xia transferred two thousand yuan to her, which not only covered the next month's rent but also gave her an extra five hundred yuan for food.

Since she just got involved with Master Xia's affairs today, there's a lot to organize. President Lu has granted her special permission to work solely for Miss Xia for the next few days, and her salary will continue to be paid.

Cao Niannian was so engrossed in organizing the information that she didn't realize until she came to her senses that she had been working late and almost missed the night bus.

She quickly packed her things and went out. She glanced at the app and found that the late bus had already passed her stop. She immediately rode a shared bicycle through side streets to catch up to the next two stops and waited. When she got to the platform and found that the bus had not yet arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief.

This 845 bus route circles around this area where companies are concentrated. Usually, when she doesn't have much to do, she just sits on the bus and follows the route. She only turns onto side roads when she's in a hurry.

As she looked down at her phone searching for posts and looking at other people's practical experiences with taxes, a bus in front of her quietly stopped. Cao Niannian looked up and saw three red-glowing numbers, 845. Although she wondered why the numbers were red today, she still stepped onto the bus.

There happened to be an empty seat on the bus, so Cao Niannian walked over and sat down, continuing to browse posts with her head down.

There were quite a few people in the car, but it was very quiet, much quieter than usual. However, she didn't think much of it; no one had the energy to talk much after working so late.

As the journey progressed, Cao Niannian felt increasingly uneasy. She looked up and surveyed the people in the car, and her heart felt as if it had been struck hard. She was so nervous that she quickly lowered her head and dared not look again.

She's discovered the problem!

Even in the quietest times, it's never this quiet, almost deathly so. And most importantly, not a single person on the bus is looking at their phone!

Cao Niannian gripped her phone tightly, her heart pounding wildly!

She secretly lifted the corner of her eye and noticed that everyone on the bus was sitting blankly in their seats, staring straight ahead, and everyone on the bus, regardless of age or gender, had the same expression.

It's 11 o'clock now! How can there be elderly people and children on these vehicles that circle the company campus?!
