Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 22 You don't want your marriage to go wrong, do you?
Let's try our luck one more time.

This prerequisite made Tang Yan's newly formed idea instantly back down.

She looked at Chen Xiu with some hesitation: "How much luck would it take to do it this way?"

“As you did just now, you didn’t profit from the calculation results, so you didn’t lose much luck; the more you profit, the more luck you will use up. This thing can’t reproduce, so you use it up little by little. If you use it now, you may not have enough in the future.”

Chen Xiu, who has taught online literature courses, can readily recite this theory of causality.

Tang Yan probably hadn't read many male-oriented novels, so when she heard this somewhat reasonable attempt at deception, she suddenly felt a sense of awe and wonder.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she kept it closed.

I guess they felt it was better to "leave" some luck for themselves in the future.

Seeing that Tang Yan had been fooled by him, Chen Xiu silently curled the corners of his mouth. Under the cover of the mask, he didn't have to worry about being seen.

"Do you still count?"

"Forget it, I'm not short of money, and the first half is over, so I probably won't be taking bets on the second half."

Tang Yan shook her head, speaking with a mix of rationality and regret.

In this light, what truly stopped her was the inability to place bets; otherwise, her choice would still be uncertain.

Looking at this long-legged beauty who was called "naive and innocent" by netizens, Chen Xiu suddenly felt that she was actually quite smart. Sure enough, what she showed was just a persona. There are no fools in the entertainment industry.

After finishing her reflections, Chen Xiu changed the subject: "Since you don't want to calculate the ball games, I'll calculate something else for you, as compensation for using your luck."

His deception of Tang Yan is only halfway complete.

The remaining small part is the key to determining the effectiveness of this chat.

Having already witnessed the results of "fortune telling," Tang Yan's eyes barely showed a hint of interest in Chen Xiu's sudden show of goodwill before her lips immediately tightened in a wary purse.

"How much of my luck are you planning to use this time?"

"We don't need to do what we calculated this time."

Chen Xiu shook his index finger, looking just like a shrewd businessman.

There's a famous saying in the internet industry: "Free things are the most expensive." He's putting that into practice right now.

Upon hearing that this time they wouldn't need to use their luck, Tang Yan's hesitation immediately lessened considerably: "Why not this time?"

"Because I'm telling you about your marriage prospects, telling you in advance won't have any impact."

"Marriage?"

After the initial surprise, there was still more surprise.

If Chen Xiu hadn't accurately predicted the score of the game, Tang Yan would have already labeled him as a "flirtatious womanizer."

She'd seen this kind of dating tactic, using the excuse of marriage, quite often.

However, Chen Xiu's readily available calculation results still surprised Tang Yan and unconsciously aroused some anticipation.

Seeing Tang Yan's hesitant expression, Chen Xiu just sat there as if nothing was wrong, neither urging her nor offering encouragement. Tang Yan felt that it didn't matter whether she counted or not.

This calm attitude, ironically, prompted Tang Yan to make a decision.

"How do you want to calculate it?"

"The lines on your palm determine your marriage destiny, show me your hand."

Chen Xiu stretched out her hand to Tang Yan, and seeing her raise and lower her hand hesitantly, she grabbed her hand directly.

"Hey, you..."

"Don't make a fuss, or your marriage prospects will be ruined."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan immediately shut her mouth, afraid of disturbing Chen Xiu and interfering with her own marriage prospects.

Chen Xiu chuckled silently, pinched Tang Yan's fingers, and then pretended to draw on the lines on her palm with her index finger.

The sensation of the touch moving through her palm made Tang Yan's heart rate rise slightly, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Just as she began to steal glances at Chen Xiu, the hand that was being held suddenly loosened, and the sensation in her palm disappeared.

"I've finished reading. Your marriage prospects are bumpy and fraught with difficulties in the early stages, and you're prone to encountering scumbags..."

Chen Xiu let go of Tang Yan's hand and began to talk eloquently, drawing on her memories from her past life and the news events of last year.

After laying down the groundwork that everyone already knew, his voice suddenly rose two octaves: "However, your marriage prospects will be very smooth in the later stages, and there will be no setbacks for at least ten years!"

"What about ten years from now?" "With my current cultivation level, I can only see ten years ahead."

Chen Xiu shook his head, indicating that his abilities were limited and that he truly did not know anything about the future.

I listened to the answer, but only halfway through.

It's far more frustrating than watching only half of a show.

Especially since this answer is related to a major event in his own life.

Tang Yan's current mood is like that of someone who has been on a roller coaster and has reached its highest point. She can't get off or back down, and she feels extremely uncomfortable.

Just as she was gritting her teeth, wanting to grab Chen Xiu by the collar and make him think things through,

Chen Xiu spoke again: "Do you want to know when your ten-year marriage will happen?"

"Huh? You can even calculate this?"

"Of course, I'm a professional."

As someone who has lived for 25 years, Chen Xiu felt there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Compared to things ten years from now, Tang Yan was clearly more concerned about the present: "When will my destined partner appear?"

"Six months, at the latest a year!"

Chen Xiu extended her index finger and said confidently.

He remembered that Tang Yan and her future husband Luo Jin seemed to have met and gotten married on the set of the drama "Diamond Lover".

However, in order to complete the task given by the system, Chen Xiu is definitely going to snatch the role of the second male lead in "Diamond Lover".

Compared to Tang Yan and Luo Jin's happiness, Chen Xiu felt that her own sexual happiness was more important.

Fortunately, Tang Yan and Luo Jin have a connection through the drama "The Princess Weiyoung," so giving them a year's notice is just right.

"What if my destined partner doesn't appear within a year?"

Tang Yan asked calmly, still somewhat skeptical of Chen Xiu's fortune-telling skills.

In response, Chen Xiu said, "Add me on WeChat. If it's inaccurate, I'll test it for you again."

"Hey, that's a novel way to ask for WeChat contacts!"

Are you going to add it or not?

"Gagaga."

Tang Yan took out her phone, leaned over, and scanned Chen Xiu's WeChat contact.

After accepting Tang Yan's friend request on WeChat, Chen Xiu added, "I'll leave the resource matter to Teacher Tang Yan."

"Resources? It's too difficult for you to get the second male lead role..."

"All you need to do is recommend me for auditions, and you don't need to worry about the rest! You'll help me, right?"

Chen Xiu's voice turned somber as she spoke the next sentence.

Tang Yan stared at him blankly, then silently nodded.

"hehe."

Chen Xiu chuckled softly and brought the ever-smiling V-shaped mask close to Tang Yan's ear.

"What you said before was a request, but now it's a threat. Teacher Tang Yan, you don't want your future marriage to be in trouble, do you?"

"you……"

Tang Yan glared at him resentfully, but after Chen Xiu finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Tang Yan with only his back view.

Having achieved his goal, he didn't want to waste any more time.

Back on the sofa by the pool, Chen Xiu also received a bet from Zhang Ming.

"Ah Xiu, you're awesome! Your skills haven't diminished at all!"

"Hey, don't make it sound like I'm some kind of flowery person, okay?"

"Hehe, don't pretend with me..."

"Tch, hey, Germany has scored again."
