My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Chapter 24: Temple of the God of Wealth

"No, brother, look at the car in front, isn't it Zhou Qizheng's?"

Tang Qian followed his gaze towards the black Bentley parked opposite his car. "Oh! It's true. Enemies often meet in narrow paths. We even run into each other here."

"Right? That's not a big deal. The main thing is, look at the passenger seat. Is there a woman sitting there? She's the woman I told you about last time I ran into Zhou Qi in Haicheng. You called me blind, but now you see it for yourself and believe it."

Li Bing had previously told him that he saw Zhou Qizhen entering a hotel late at night with a woman, but he didn't believe it. He also said that even though he hated Zhou Qizhen, he believed that he was not a person who had a promiscuous private life.

What Li Bing said sounded very convincing, so he asked someone to investigate the hotel check-in information for that day. As he had guessed, the two did not stay in the same room. Later, he contacted the girl under the pretext of a group purchase, and there was indeed nothing special about it.

But what was going on now? Why was President Jiang Heng, who was so busy with his work, asked to accompany a young girl to visit a temple? He would never believe that there was nothing going on between them, even if he was beaten to death.

Lu Xiaoqiao got out of the passenger seat and was about to leave when Zhou Qizhen stopped her and handed her a cup through the driver's window.

"I still have some left to drink. Bring your thermos with you so you can get some water to drink along the way. It's getting cold, so don't drink anything too cold."

To Lu Xiaoqiao, Zhou Qizhen's various concerns today made her feel a little strange, but she just thought that it was the care she received thanks to her good friend.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou. Please drive carefully. I'll return the cup to you when I have time."

She had seen this cup once in a magazine. It was made of pure titanium and cost several thousand dollars. She quickly put it in the innermost part of her backpack. She would be heartbroken if she lost it.

"Well, I'll go back first. You should be careful too."

"it is good."

After Zhou Qizhen drove away, Lu Xiaoqiao called Jin Ling. She said she was almost there, so she went to the ticket office to buy the tickets first. The two of them agreed to meet at the ticket gate later.

Jin Ling is a young girl she met when she was helping Qin Momo work in the store. She is not tall, but has big eyes and is very pretty. Although she is a local, her family conditions are average and she has a younger brother who is in college. Some time ago, her mother became disabled due to a car accident. This time she came to the temple to pray for peace and blessings for her mother.

Lu Xiaoqiao had long heard that the Yunling Temple in Hangzhou was very effective, but she had never been there. When she was chatting with Jin Ling and learned that she was coming, the two of them made an appointment to go together.

Jin Ling arrived after waiting at the ticket gate for less than ten minutes. By then, there were already a lot of people queuing up. The two of them followed the crowd, checked their tickets one by one, and entered the temple.

As many pilgrims enter the temple and walk along a bluestone-paved road, they arrive at the main hall. The main hall is majestic and magnificent, with a brilliant golden tripod. The Buddha statues enshrined in the hall are kind and compassionate, and green smoke curls from the incense burners, each of which carries the prayers of the believers.

The two of them worshipped the Buddha statue and burned incense, then went to the Dharma distribution center in the side hall. Lu Xiaoqiao prayed for peace and safety for Lin Lin, who was recuperating from her injuries, and Qin Momo, who had been ill for many years.

After coming out of the Main Hall, we prepared to go to the Temple of the God of Wealth on the mountain. After walking up the mountain road for a long time, we still had to climb 900 steps. When we reached the top of the mountain, our calves were shaking.

As soon as I entered the Temple of the God of Wealth, I heard the sound of bells. The sound was heavy and distant. Every impact seemed to shatter the silence in the air, and the lingering sound was endless.

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished worshipping the God of Wealth, he threw eighty-eight yuan into the merit box under the Buddha statue, implying that he would become rich.

I also asked for five fortune-bringing talismans at the Dharma distribution center here, and prepared to give one to each of the sisters.

When they were about to go back, they looked down at the height of the mountain and thought about their still shaking legs, and they both decided to take the cable car down.

The cable car is in groups of four people. Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect to meet his clients and friends here by chance.

"Mr. Tang, what a coincidence! You are here at the temple too."

In fact, she hadn't recognized who was sitting opposite her before. What he wore today was not as casual as before. Especially the dazzling silver hair made it hard not to notice him.

Even though he was wearing a calm, clean black shirt today, it couldn't conceal his unruly temperament.

Tang Qian gave a cheeky smile, "What a coincidence, Miss Lu, are you here to pray for wealth? You've come to the God of Wealth Temple to pray for success."

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't feel embarrassed by being accused of seeking wealth. Instead, she admitted generously, "Yes! But I'm only seeking small fortunes. Regarding large fortunes, it depends on your opinion, Mr. Tang. What do you think of the previous design, Mr. Tang?"

Looking at her red cheeks from walking up the mountain, Tang Qian remembered the wish he had just made to the Bodhisattva at the foot of the mountain.

Take away what he likes and destroy what he loves.

"Since you've already prayed to the Bodhisattva, I must support you. I'll follow your previous design plan. I'll go to your company to sign the contract tomorrow morning."

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect that the Temple of the God of Wealth was so powerful. It had already started to show its power before she even got down the mountain. It was really worth it for her to get up early and climb the mountain breathlessly.

On the way back to the bus, Lu Xiaoqiao still couldn't get over the sudden good news. Based on the order volume, although it was not as large as Jiang Heng's, the commission for customized design orders was much higher than the commission for sales orders.

I estimate that my salary this month will be more than 30,000 yuan, which makes me happy just thinking about it.

"By the way, Jinling, you usually work weekends, right? I'll have the salesperson place this order over the weekend. That way, you and Momo can both get the commission. Goods for this kind of order are also easier to match. They're all pre-made by size when they leave the factory. You just need to count them."

Jin Ling didn't expect that she was just an auditor and didn't help much, so she said that the order was placed in her class that day. Although she knew that she was also benefiting from Qin Momo, she was also cared about her, so it would be a lie to say that she was not touched.

"Thank you, Xiao Qiao, you're so kind. I'll treat you to a meal when the time comes."

Lu Xiaoqiao turned to look at her and replied with a smile: "It's okay, you don't have to be so polite. You don't have to treat me to a meal. Just help me take care of Momo."

When Lu Xiaoqiao got home and just walked in, she found that her roommates who had gone home for the holiday had also returned, and Zhao Zhizhi was also there. Knowing that the two had reconciled, she was not surprised.

Tuanzi was running around the living room like a madman, and it was impossible to catch him, which made everyone laugh. They completely forgot the tiredness of the car ride and the worries about the holiday that was about to end.

While everyone was there, Lu Xiaoqiao remembered the fortune-making talisman he had asked for, and hurriedly took it out and distributed it to several people.

Zhao Zhizhi took the fortune charm and said with a playful smile, "Oh! My sister Xiao Qiao is so kind. She went to the temple to ask for a fortune charm and didn't forget to ask for one for her brother-in-law."

"Hmph! If you dare treat Sister Jia badly, I'll take it back. Don't underestimate this, it works."

Lu Xiaoqiao recounted how she met Tang Qian today and got the order.

Several people were amazed when they heard this. How could this be possible? They felt that this was the God of Wealth appearing, and each of them carefully and reverently placed the wealth charms in their pockets.

When Qin Momo saw that she had an extra talisman of safety and health compared to others, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you, Xiao Qiao. You've been working for me for so many days and haven't been able to go home. Now you're helping me get a peace amulet. I..."

Seeing that she couldn't stop crying, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly wiped the tears from her cheeks and then hugged her again.

"Oh, it's okay, Momo. Why are you crying? Everyone has urgent matters, right? Besides, if I hadn't helped you with work, how would I have had the chance to make that appointment to go to the temple? And if I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have gotten such a big order! Right? Well, I should thank you for that. I'll even treat you to a meal when I get paid."

Zhao Zhizhi and Zhao Jia also advised her not to cry. Usually, no matter how sad she was, she would hide and cry secretly, but today she really couldn't hold it back. She didn't want everyone to be affected by her emotions, so Qin Momo stopped crying.
