Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

The three people following behind the two exchanged glances because they were close together and the two in front of them hadn't lowered their voices. Each of the three had a different feeling.

"Uncle Gui, I'm Fatty Wang's good brother. We started the company together. My surname is Wu. You can call him Boss Fatty and me Xiao Wu."

"The handsome guy next to me in the black shirt and hoodie, his surname is Zhang, you can just call him Xiao Zhang!"

"As for the other one..."

When you're out in the world, you have to give yourself an identity. Wu Xie wasn't really stupid after all he'd been through. As soon as he was asked how many people were in his group, he quickly put on a smile and started answering.

But Wu Xie had only just finished introducing himself and Xiao Ge, and hadn't yet given Qin Henian his new identity, when he was interrupted by another voice.

"My surname is Qin. I'm good brothers with these guys, but my company is different from theirs. I run my own company by myself, just like Fatty's company which does tourism development. I'm here on behalf of my own company to investigate. Maybe I can even compete with Fatty for the development rights of this land!"

The one who interrupted Wu Xie was naturally Qin Henian. He didn't want to be in the same company as the Three Fools. Everyone knows that when you're out in the world, your identity is what you give yourself, so why not get yourself a better identity?

"Alright, alright, let's go, the three of you. That biggest house not far ahead is my home."

As A-Gui quickened his pace, he led the group with a smile. Before long, they arrived at a Yao house that looked like it had been renovated a few years ago.

"Father! You're back!"

Before she even entered the courtyard, the girl's clear and melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out from inside.

“Yun Cai, some bosses have come to our house. Go and see if those empty rooms upstairs have been cleaned up. If they have, they can be used by these big bosses from out of town.”

When A-Gui heard his daughter's voice, he raised his head and shouted upstairs.

"Alright, Father, I'll go take a look. You take a few bosses downstairs to sit for a while..."

The woman's voice from upstairs continued to reply, and Qin Henian's pupils suddenly narrowed as if he had caught something, before returning to normal in the next moment.

He suddenly took a few big steps, walked a couple of steps to Fatty Wang's side, put his arm around the other's arm, turned his head and whispered in Fatty Wang's ear.

“Fatty, I’ve done a divination for you. The Yao girl upstairs is destined to be with you, but she has a bad fate. It might be a regret in your life. If you want to make amends, you’d better be prepared.”

Otherwise, I fear it might be too late before she dies...

Qin Henian didn't say the last sentence, but given Wang Pangzi's meticulous nature, he could probably guess it in a moment.

Before he could even be shocked, and just as Fatty Wang was about to turn around and ask again, the heat source near his ear suddenly disappeared. Turning his head, he saw that Qin Henian was more than two meters away from him. When they met, he could see the smile in Qin Henian's eyes. For a moment, Fatty Wang suppressed his doubts and thought he would find some time to ask him properly.

Qin Henian's subtle actions naturally caught the attention of the two people walking behind him. Wu Xie's eyes were full of curiosity and doubt, while Zhang Qilin, whose hearing was quite good, frowned for a moment before returning to normal.

"Hehe... Gentlemen, let's sit in my yard first. I'll have my daughter prepare four rooms upstairs, and then you can all move in cleanly."

Time passed silently, and half an hour later, the clattering sound on the stairs grew louder and louder, descending from the second floor to the first.

Suddenly, a cheerful and energetic girl came down the stairs, greeting the four people who were resting and drinking tea in the courtyard.

"Gentlemen, the rooms upstairs are ready. Would you like to go and choose one and see how you plan to sleep together tonight?"

A woman's voice broke the silence, interrupting Zhang Qilin's daze, Wu Xie's and Wang Pangzi's idle chatter, and Qin Henian's absent-mindedness.

"This girl is so beautiful, she must be a village beauty among the girls in our village!"

"Miss! My surname is Wang, Wang Yueban. Don't call me 'boss,' it's too formal! Just call me Fatty Brother, hehe..."

The moment Wang Pangzi looked up, he saw a sweet-looking girl with a high ponytail, fair and delicate skin, and a bright smile on her face. Instantly, he felt his heart flutter...

"Fatty...Fatty Boss, you're joking!"

Yun Cai was momentarily speechless, not expecting the person who spoke first to be so familiar with her.

When she came downstairs and saw the four people in the courtyard, her gaze first fell on a very handsome boy with very defined features, very fair skin, and a ponytail similar to hers but with longer hair. She was immediately struck by his beauty.

Secondly, to the left of the person sat a man wearing a blue-black hoodie. The man's skin was also fair, but not as fair as that of the handsome boy. However, he was also very handsome, with well-proportioned features and an indescribable aura.

The other one is kind of cute, but she's not bad looking either. It's just that her eyes give off a vibe of "I'm so easy to fool, come and fool me."

Yun Cai silently ranked the several business owners who had come to stay at her house based on their looks, but then she realized that this guy called Fatty Wang seemed to pay a lot of attention to her...

"I'm not joking, chubby brother. What's your name, young lady?"

Fatty Wang noticed that the girl opposite him glanced behind him for a moment, but he didn't care and continued to smile and speak.

“My name is Yun Cai. My father said that you, Boss Fatty, came to our village to conduct an inspection. I have lived in our village since I was a child. If you want to visit any part of our village, you can ask me to be your guide!”

Yun Cai, ever the friendly type, withdrew her gaze from Qin Henian and the other two, her attention diverted, and began talking to Fatty Wang with a smile.

"Really? That's wonderful! We just arrived and we're looking for a guide who knows the village. As soon as you suggested it, Fatty thought it was a good idea!"

"Then it's settled! Once we've settled in, we'll ask you to be our guide!!!"

Fatty Wang immediately agreed, overjoyed to have a guide familiar with the village and to get to know the clouds better. His chubby face was beaming with happiness!

"Fatty, who's paying for the guide fee?"

At this moment, Wu Xie, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, suddenly interjected, teasing Fatty Wang, secretly thinking to himself that this fat guy was clearly lustful and had taken a liking to the girl...

"Of course it's my good brother, Mr. Qin, who paid for it!"

When Fatty Wang heard that Wu Xie wanted to pay for it himself, he was about to agree and show off his wealth. But then he thought about how hard it had been for him to make money over the years, especially the years he had been working for Wu Xie. He had lost more money than he earned. So he just blurted out that he had betrayed his newly minted good brother!

"Oh? You're trying to get something for nothing, fatso, you want He Nian to pay you?"

Wu sneered, thinking he'd managed to get the fat man to cough up some money!
