You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

As soon as Su Chen entered the teahouse, he saw Zhai Niannian sitting by the window. In front of her, besides the teapot and teacups, there was a pile of gifts on the table.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Su Chen, then stood up happily.

"Master Su, you've arrived?"

Su Chen nodded: "Have you taken care of things at the shop?"

Zhai Niannian nodded: "They're shameless, so I don't need to give them any face. My family and my maternal grandmother's family have already fallen out."

"That's good."

"Yes, it's great. Luckily, Master Su discovered their trickery, otherwise I wouldn't even know where the problem was when my cake shop started losing money."

"And when we asked them to return the money, they wouldn't give us a single penny."

“If my mom hadn’t stopped me, I would have called the police long ago.”

……

After a moment of sighing, Zhai Niannian brought over the gifts and handed them to Su Chen: "Master Su, thank you so much. Please accept these."

Su Chen accepted the reply: "I wish you a prosperous business, boss."

Upon receiving this comment, Zhai Niannian was overjoyed.

"Thank you, thank you Master Su."

As she left, Su Chen saw her jump up and down several times with joy.

"Master Su wished me booming business, so I'm sure I'll make a fortune!"

Su Chen shook his head.

One cake shop might not make a lot of money, but several or even a dozen cake shops might!

After being betrayed by her cousin, she will gradually come to her senses.

After putting away the gifts, Su Chen took out the yellow paper and cinnabar, and prepared some lightning-summoning talismans. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and soon after, large raindrops began to fall.

People on the street ran quickly and took shelter under the eaves.

Some people were cursing and swearing, some looked worried, but one face stood out from the rest, with a silly grin on his face as he walked toward the teahouse.

Upon approaching Su Chen, he called out, "Daoist Su!"

Su Chen turned his head and heard a "Excuse me" as Li Chang jogged over carrying a travel bag.

"It's you," Su Chen asked. "Didn't you go back?"

"No need to reply. The boss said I know Uncle Wei. I'll stay in Shanghai from now on and see if Uncle Wei's cheongsams sell well. If they don't, I can help alter them."

Su Chen nodded: "So where are you staying now?"

"Hehe, now that I have money, I rent a place to live. It's a bit far, but that way the rent is cheaper."

As Li Chang spoke, he eagerly placed the travel bag on the table, unzipped it, took out a measuring tape, and seeing Su Chen's confusion, explained, "The boss said that our factory's revival this time is all thanks to you, Master Su, and he asked me to make you two suitable outfits."

"The fabric supplier sent the truck over yesterday. I've come to take your measurements, Master Su."

As Li Chang spoke, he skillfully measured Su Chen's shoulder width and sleeve length, and also asked Su Chen what color he liked.

"White, gray, or black are all fine." Su Chen didn't object. He had seen the cheongsams made by Li Chang and his team before, and the quality was quite good. He figured that clothes made by Li Chang himself wouldn't be too bad either. If it was really comfortable, he could ask them to customize some later.

Li Chang quickly recorded the data, and only after all the measurements were taken did he take out a Tang suit from his travel bag.

Su Chen: "??? You made this yourself?"

"Yes, Uncle Wei gave me some fabric. I don't need such good material, so I thought I'd make you a set..."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Chang asked in a low voice, "Why don't you give it a try, Master Su?"

"also."

When Su Chen came out after changing into his Tang suit, there were already three or four people sitting by the stall.

They would exchange a few words here and there, and at other times urge Li Chang to ask Su Chen when he would come out.

Li Chang felt somewhat lost and occasionally gave them ingratiating smiles.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Su Chen come out. Her eyes lit up: "Master Su, does your clothing fit you?"

Su Chen nodded.

This fabric is lightweight, breathable, and skin-friendly; it's really good.

"It's very good. Your craftsmanship is excellent. You can hardly see the stitches unless you look closely."

Li Chang scratched his head: "I'm far inferior to our master chef, it's just so-so, I'm glad you don't mind."

"Was this a gift to me too?"

Li Chang nodded repeatedly.

"Since you gave me these clothes, I'll take you home."

"No need, no need." Li Chang waved his hand repeatedly, glancing meaningfully at the people sitting down.

There are guests here.

Su Chen seemed not to notice and chuckled, "It's raining so hard, and you didn't bring an umbrella. Are you planning to get soaked on your way back?"

These days, umbrellas easily cost ten or twenty yuan, and some people really can't bear to buy them.

Li Chang paused, looking at the group of people with some confusion, then at Su Chen with a puzzled expression, just as Su Chen asked:

Where is the rental location?

"It's a bit far, over in Mingpu."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow: "Mingpu?"

The people sitting over there couldn't hold back any longer.

"Mingpu? That's too far! Master Su, why don't you take a look for us first?"

"That's right, that's right, we came all the way here."

"Master Su, you must take a look at my son first. He is the only son of our Qin family."

……

Li Chang scratched his forehead.

Hesitating whether to say a few words in their defense, I felt a weight on my shoulders.

By the time they realized what was happening, the other person was already in front of the Mingpu Police Station.

Is this place far from your rented apartment?

Li Chang pointed to the low house not far away: "Master Su, I live there."

"Okay." Su Chen flipped his hand and took out an umbrella, handing it to him. "Take it, and return it when you bring me my clothes later."

"Alright, then goodbye, Master Su."

Su Chen watched Li Chang leave and was about to enter the Ghost Path when he saw a familiar figure passing by with an umbrella – it was Chen Xiaoyu.

Upon meeting Li Chang, Chen Xiaoyu asked him a few questions before quickly turning to look in their direction.

Su Chen didn't hesitate any longer and returned to the teahouse.

At the stall, the family was arguing and berating each other, their faces red with anger.

Xi Meng was drawn out of the room and leaned against the window, munching on sunflower seeds while watching them with great interest.

Seeing him return, she raised an eyebrow and deliberately exclaimed loudly, "Oh dear, Master Su is back!"

Su Chen: "..."

He snatched all the melon seeds from Xi Meng's palm: "Have some decency."

Xi Meng clapped her hands indifferently: "I wasn't human to begin with, why should I pretend to be?"

Then, resting her chin on her hand, she smiled and looked at the family.

Little Liu brought her a glass of cola and asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Auntie, what's so interesting about this?"

It's just the usual passing the buck.

It didn't feel as fun as the previous incident where the three thieves insisted on having their fortunes told to take the blame.

Xi Meng glanced at her: "What do you know?"

"These four people are really good at this."

"……what?"

Little Liu'er was tapped on the forehead and pouted as she hugged herself.

Xi Meng glanced at her: "What are you doing, you little kid? Go read your book."

"By the way, have you finished reading those books? If you have, I'll have that guy send over some more."

That's what she said, but Xi Meng kept her eyes fixed on the four people.

Seeing Su Chen facepalm for a moment, he demurred, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with your affairs."

He laughed out loud.

Su Chen turned his head and looked at her with a helpless expression.

Xi Meng raised her hand: "Okay, okay, I won't make a sound, I won't bother you."

The family had originally intended to question Su Chen, but after being interrupted by Xi Meng, they seemed to have lost their momentum when they spoke again, and suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.

After a moment of hesitation, the middle-aged woman finally spoke.

"Master Su, you are widely recognized as the most powerful person. If you don't help us, we really don't know who else to ask for help. Or... should I kneel down before you?"
