The next morning, before dawn, Lu Hai had already woken up from bed.

Without waking up Jiang Lanqing who was still sleeping, he first heated up the pancakes he had made last night, and then heated up the porridge for Jiang Lanqing.

Then he drove the mule cart towards the county town.

After more than an hour's journey, Lu Hai arrived at the state-owned guesthouse.

Liu Guowei is still standing at the door today.

I don’t know where the old man went, but Lu Hai is not very interested in finding out.

Liu Guowei was also surprised when he saw Lu Hai pulling a mule cart full of things.

"Wow, little brother, so many?"

Lu Hai chuckled, "What are you talking about, Director Liu? Isn't this our village responding to the country's call? Since the city said that the brother provinces need it, and the quantity is large, after our team completed the production task yesterday, we mobilized the whole village to participate."

"Having said that, there aren't any substandard seafood products mixed in, right?" Liu Guowei teased.

Lu Hai waved his hands quickly, "We are all honest farmers, we can't do such a wicked thing."

"I feel relieved when you say that. Let's get on the scale!" As he said that, Liu Guowei called for people to help Lu Hai unload the truck.

After weighing, Liu Guowei was surprised to see a total of 1,500 kilograms of seafood, including 300 kilograms of snails.

"1,500 kilograms of seafood, as agreed before, 40 cents a kilogram, a total of 600 yuan, plus 300 kilograms of snails, 120 yuan, a total of 720 yuan. Here are the bills, little brother, go to the finance department to collect the money."

To be honest, if it weren't for the policy, Liu Guowei would have wanted to do this kind of business.

After all, it makes a lot of money!

I earned half a year’s salary on this trip!

If he didn't know that Lu Hai was going to distribute the money to the whole village, even a state official like Liu Guowei would be jealous.

Yes, in this era, state-owned guesthouses are treated like state officials, and they hold considerable power.

After all, I come into contact with leaders every day, and I can still say a few words to them even when I go to the city.

"Thank you, Director Liu. If it weren't for you, these loaches and eels would have been the culprits that affected the production task." As Lu Hai spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

Nowadays, it is really difficult to get anywhere without connections. Even in later times, if you work in the entertainment industry, you will have to go through checks every few days without any connections. Even if your business is booming, it will fail sooner or later if it continues like this.

It is not just talk that you should rely on friends when you go out, even in this era of simple folk customs, it is still true.

Seeing this, Liu Guowei did not refuse.

After all, giving a pack of cigarettes isn't really considered a bribe.

Seeing that Liu Guowei accepted it, Lu Hai said goodbye and went to the finance department to get the money.

Just when Lu Hai took the money and was about to leave, he saw Liu Guowei saying goodbye to someone.

Lu Hai was originally wondering who could be chatting and laughing with a cadre like Liu Guowei, but when he looked carefully, he immediately saw that it was someone he knew.

To be precise, he knew the other person, but the other person didn't know him.

Moreover, thinking of the other party's identity, Lu Hai had an idea.

So, he walked over to Liu Guowei and said, "Director Liu, I advise you to keep a little distance from that person just now."

Liu Guowei frowned when he heard this.

Obviously, he was a little unhappy with what Lu Hai said.

After all, in his eyes, although Lu Hai is good, he is still a junior, and all Lu Hai's business was given to him by him.

But now he is criticizing himself and his friends.

How can this make people happy?

Seeing this, Lu Hai knew that Liu Guowei was unhappy, but what he said was the truth.

Moreover, if it can be stopped, considering the other party's position, it will be of great benefit to oneself.

Therefore, he ignored Liu Guowei's unhappy expression and spoke patiently,

"Director Liu, I am only warning you because you have done me a favor. If you don't believe me after listening to me, then it's up to you."

Liu Guowei frowned and glanced at Lu Hai, but thought there was no point in listening, so he just let Lu Hai talk.

"This person's forehead is dark and grey, and the grey energy is like substance. Although there will be no bloody disasters or personal accidents, there will be considerable setbacks."

"And the man who can be friends with Director Liu is obviously not an ordinary person. I think he is only in his early thirties, but he already has cheekbones on his forehead, and they are terrifyingly deep."

The first part was fine, Liu Guowei still understood the meaning, after all, the term "black forehead" was basically used by charlatans, but the term "broken cheekbones" was the first time Liu Guowei had heard of it, so he interrupted Lu Hai's speech.

"What does this broken cheekbone pattern mean?"

Lu Hai smiled, "Po zygomatic wrinkles are pronounced the same as 'broken power' in Chinese. This zygomatic wrinkle also represents the decline of power. It usually appears on middle-aged people in their forties, because these people have reached the peak of their careers. If there are no adventures later, their careers will begin to decline, and this zygomatic wrinkle will appear accordingly."

"However, Director Liu's friend is only in his early thirties. Logically, he is still in the rising stage of his career. The appearance of these cheekbones is really strange. Especially the depth of these cheekbones, it is obvious that he will directly withdraw from the power organization, and there is a possibility that he will be imprisoned."

"Combined with the black energy appearing in the official palace and on both sides of the forehead, it is obvious that your friend's career will be frustrated, and it may even affect the people around him."

After hearing this, Liu Guowei was completely stunned.

Because when his friend came to see him just now, what he said to him was almost the same as what Lu Hai had just said to him!

However, he didn't know who wanted to get him, and the reason they came to him was because they hoped that he could help them find out some information.

After all, this state-owned guesthouse is frequented by high-ranking officials and even leaders from the city on a daily basis. Perhaps some clues can be obtained from their conversations.

The other party was a childhood friend of mine, and I knew that he would not do anything too outrageous, so I agreed.

However, he knew that the news was told to him personally!

But what about Lu Hai? He knew the problem just by looking at it. What does that mean?

This shows that Lu Hai is really capable!

This also made Liu Guowei feel troubled for a while.

After all, on one side is the person you grew up with, and you can say you are a good buddy who wears the same pants as you.

On one side is a fortune teller with real skills.

Although, people of this era are staunch materialists and would not believe in this kind of theology.

However, those who came from the 1960s and 1950s have all experienced that period.

And I have more or less heard about the stories of Laojun Mountain from my elders at home.

Therefore, they will have some trust in their hearts.

It’s just that due to some unspeakable reasons, these things are banned on the surface.

This also led to the loss of many "physiognomy techniques".

Therefore, many scammers have emerged and are dismissive of these so-called masters.

However, no one has ever doubted the power of the "physiognomist".

It's just that no one can tell which ones are true and which ones are false.

However, Liu Guowei hesitated for only a moment, as if he had made a decision, and said to Lu Hai,

"Master, this friend of mine grew up with me. Is there any way to save him?"

When Lu Hai heard the word "Master", he obviously knew that his nonsense just now had worked.

He had originally thought that if Liu Guowei didn't intend to ask him for advice, then he would have to find a way to get close to him. Now that he had Liu Guowei as an excuse, it was obviously better.

However, although Lu Hai was delighted in his heart, he did not show it on his face and frowned.

"Director Liu, calling me Master is too serious. Just call me Lu Hai."

"But you also know that the most taboo thing in our line of work is to be contaminated by karma. I wanted to persuade you because you helped me so much before, but if I were to change my fate, it would not be so easy."

Liu Guowei was immediately delighted when he heard Lu Hai say that it was not impossible to save or that it was not necessary to save him, but that it was not so easy.

It’s not that easy. Obviously it can be saved, but it comes at a price.

"Lu Hai, I'm a little older than you, so I'll be a little more generous and call you Brother Lu."

"Brother Lu, I know my friend. With his character, I really don't believe he committed a crime. How about this? You meet him first. If you think he's okay, then save him. If not, we can talk about it another way."

"Do you think this will work?"

At this time, Liu Guowei's posture can be said to be very humble.

Seeing this, Lu Hai knew that the time was almost ripe, so he pretended to be embarrassed for a while, and finally sighed.

"Okay, since you said so, Brother Liu, I'll meet him, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

When Liu Guowei heard this, he was overjoyed, even though Lu Hai did not make a solemn promise.

But it was precisely this that convinced him most.

After all, if he was a charlatan, he would have promised and put forward his own conditions as soon as he heard that I needed his help. Why would he refuse like Lu Hai?

Moreover, as long as Lu Hai is willing to meet, there is still hope for a turnaround. If not, it can only mean that his friend is destined to suffer this disaster.

Therefore, Liu Guowei stopped forcing him and clasped his fists towards Lu Hai, "Okay, Brother Lu, I understand. If it really doesn't work, it means he has bad luck. It's not your fault."

"Well, if you are not in a hurry, Brother Lu, then you can stay in my guesthouse for a while. I will bring my friend back right away, and you can show him first."

It's just morning now, a little after eight o'clock, what can Lu Hai do?

I didn't even go to the stall, so I just agreed.

"Okay, but first, please help me get some fodder, Brother Liu, so I can feed the mule."

When Liu Guowei heard this, he thought it was something serious and waved his hand.

"Alright, Brother Lu, that's too polite. Just sit down. I'll have someone take care of your mule."

When Lu Hai heard this, he didn't hesitate and sat down directly in the store.

Before Liu Guowei left, in addition to instructing people to feed the mule with fodder, he also specially gave Lu Hai two portions of food.

Looking at the big pork elbow on the table, Lu Hai knew.

It's all about human nature...
