Song Chaoyang had thought that he was highly valued by the Provincial Party Secretary, Huang Xinnian. If he could make some achievements as the Secretary of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, he would be promoted to the position of Deputy Governor after one term. He would then become the youngest Deputy Governor in the province. His reputation would be illustrious and unparalleled. But now, after hearing what Fa Yu said, there was no chance for him to be promoted. He would only be a leader for the rest of his life. He was shocked, scared, angry, and resentful. His heart was so uncomfortable that it was about to bleed.
As his secretary, Li Rui couldn't accept it when he heard this. Although Song Chaoyang would have sent him to the grassroots to train his abilities after three or four years, it did not mean that the master-servant relationship would disappear. On the contrary, the relationship between the two would become deeper. Song Chaoyang would not only not let him go, but would also take care of him and nurture him through various channels. After he became a talent, Song Chaoyang would have a strong backing in the future. Even after he retired in the future, he could continue his power through him.
On Li Rui's side, although he had his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, and his uncle, Du Minsheng, and his friends, Gao Guotai and Xu Gengnian, he also hoped that his boss, Song Chaoyang, could go further and climb higher. Then, as Song Chaoyang's disciple, he would be able to receive more care. In the officialdom, who would not want to hug more thighs? But he did not expect that at this moment, Fa Yu would say Song Chaoyang's tragic future. This also meant that he would lose a strong backing. Naturally, he could not accept this.
He anxiously asked Fa Yu, "Master, is there any way to solve this?"
Fa Yu looked at him and shook his head. "Fate can be changed, but luck cannot. You have heard of going against the heavens to change fate, but have you heard of going against the heavens to change luck? It was impossible to change one's luck! If luck could be changed, we would not be humans. We would be gods, Buddhas! "
Li Rui said anxiously, "Is there no way at all?"
Fa Yu shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not like your wife's pregnancy, where you can prevent a miscarriage just by being a little more careful. Fate is an intangible thing. You don't even know where it is or when it will come. How can you guard against it?" After saying that, he looked at Song Chaoyang and comforted him, "You still have to maintain a calm heart. Actually, it's already very good for you to be able to reach your current height. You should be satisfied. "
Song Chaoyang's expression changed. He frowned and said, "Master, you already know my identity?"
Fa Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can calculate that you are a person of high status. You have already reached such a height at such a young age, which is very rare. However, your success and failure are all because of Xiao He. Because you came up too quickly this time, you have used up all your luck. There is no more luck to ride on, so you will not be able to leap over the dragon gate in the future. "
Song Chaoyang's face turned pale when he heard that. He was in a daze and did not speak for a long time.
Li Rui wanted to persuade him, but it was not good to say it in front of Fa Yu. He could only give up for now. Suddenly, he thought of something and reached out to grab the stick from Fa Yu's hand. At first glance, he saw that it was a bad stick, so it was not too bad. He looked at the words on it, "The plum blossoms tremble in the frozen snow, the fisherman on the river catches the fish; the night is still and cold, the fish does not bait, the boat is empty and the moon returns bright."
He read it carefully a few times and felt that the key point of the stick was "the boat is empty and the moon returns bright." Did it mean that the boss would get nothing at the most glorious time?
Fa Yu said to him, "Benefactor, you came back to make up for the lost time, right?"
Li Rui rolled his eyes at him. He thought to himself, Master, you are an eminent monk. Can you not be so philistine and only have eyes for money? Is that okay? Can't we just sit down calmly and make friends? Then you can teach me your Book of Changes and we can show off everywhere. How nice would that be?
Song Chaoyang suddenly asked, "Master, do you have a washroom here?"
Fa Yu pointed to the door and said, "Go out through the small door and head southwest. There's a washroom there."
Song Chaoyang made an "oh" sound and nodded at Li Rui. He turned and walked out of the door.
After the boss left, Li Rui immediately said excitedly, "Master, how about this? Didn't you say that I'm not your future disciple? It's okay, I don't want to be your disciple. Let's talk as equals and be friends, okay? You don't have to teach me your Book of Changes and Trigrams. You just need to give me some pointers and … "
Before he could finish, Fa Yu shook his head and said, "Benefactor, I don't mind telling you the truth. It's not that I don't want to teach you, but you're not cut out for it. The number of people in the world who can understand the mysteries of Book of Changes can be counted on one hand. It's even harder to understand than Einstein's theory of relativity. You can't understand it at all. That's why I'm advising you to be more open-minded. "
Li Rui could only smile bitterly. This damn bald donkey was really omniscient. He even knew a little about the theory of relativity. How did he change? But he did not give up and said, "Then … there's no chance at all?" Fa Yu shook his head firmly. Li Rui sighed and said, "If that's the case, then I won't force it. Okay, I've given up. Let's go, bring me to pay the bill. "Fa Yu said unhappily," It's not paying the bill, it's leaving it to fate. "Li Rui smiled bitterly and said," Yes, yes. "But in his heart he thought, what do you mean by leaving it to fate? Isn't it just paying the bill to me? Fa Yu suddenly became puzzled and said, "Who told you that you can pay by card here?" Li Rui was stunned and scolded, "F * ck, I didn't withdraw any money when I came here."
Fa Yu stared at him, as if he was trying to find clues from his face that he was going to renege on his debt.
Li Rui said, "You don't have to look at me like that. I won't renege on my debt. How long do you want to stay at Bodhi Temple? I'll pass it to you next time, okay? "Fa Yu nodded and said," Okay, but what about this person's leaving it to fate? "Li Rui said," Count it on me. "Fa Yu said," Actually, it's fine if you don't give me your share. "Li Ruiqi said," Really? " Fa Yu said, "Of course it's real. You just have to introduce me to some bosses. If you introduce two, I'll exempt you from leaving it to fate. If you introduce more, I'll consider becoming friends with you. "Li Rui looked at him strangely and said," Why do I feel that you're becoming more and more like a swindler? "
On the way back to the city, Song Chaoyang didn't say a word, his expression was serious. Li Rui couldn't help but comfort him.
Song Chaoyang had come to visit Fa Yu this afternoon to relieve his mood. Who would have thought that after meeting Fa Yu, he would find out that his future fate was about to disappear. His mood was not as good as when he first came. But he didn't want to appear too pessimistic and disappointed in front of Li Rui, so after listening to Li Rui's advice, he smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't take it to heart. Who knows if this fat monk's prediction is accurate? For this kind of thing, if you believe it, it will come true. If you don't believe it, it won't come true. I don't believe that my official fate will be controlled by fate and not by myself. I have the support of the provincial leaders above me, and I have the support of all of you below me. I'll be down-to-earth, forge ahead, and achieve good results. When the time comes, I'll be able to get promoted. Hmph, how is that possible?! "
Li Ruixin said, "It's good that you think this way. But then again, even if Fa Yu's prediction came true and his boss couldn't get promoted, he wouldn't fall either. At the very least, he would be able to maintain the standard of a department head. This wasn't unacceptable. After all, only one provincial leader out of a hundred thousand cadres could be found. It was already very fortunate to be able to reach the department head level. There was nothing unacceptable about it. He also wondered if he should bring his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, and uncle, Du Minsheng, and let Fa Yu read his fortune.
Song Chaoyang suddenly sneered and said, "Actually, I shouldn't have come in the first place. I'm not superstitious. I'm an atheist and materialist. Why would I believe in such nonsense? It would be better if it was Mayor Yu Heping. Isn't he a superstitious person? He should have come … "
As the saying goes, "The speaker doesn't mean anything, but the listener does." Li Ruixin's head moved. That's right, that old fox Yu Heping was the most superstitious. Actually, he should have brought him here to have his fortune read. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good relationship with him. Otherwise, he could have brought him here to have his fortune read and then ruthlessly cut him. Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something. Aiya, the old fox was superstitious, and Fa Yu's fortune reading was accurate. Could he make use of this to scheme against the old fox? Of course, he wouldn't take the initiative to attack him. Instead, he would attack him defensively. He would find a way to find his flaws and evidence of his crimes through Fa Yu. He would hold it in his hands and wait for him to make a move against his boss in the future. Thinking of this, he felt that this matter was very promising. He could consider it carefully. While Fa Yu was still in Qingyang, he could get the evidence of the old fox's crimes in one fell swoop.
It was still early when they returned to the city. It was just past three o 'clock, but Song Chaoyang didn't want to work overtime at the Municipal Party Committee anymore. He asked Li Rui to send him directly back to the VIP floor of Qingyang Hotel. He planned to rest for a while. When it was about five o' clock, he could drink the Chinese medicine that he had drunk in the evening. After drinking it, it would be time for dinner. Today would be over just like that.
If Fa Yu's divination is true, then no matter how much I mess around now, no matter how many political achievements I have, it will be useless. If that's the case, then there's no need to work so hard!
