Hong Kong Island: Chaos reigns, I suppress it all with a single hand.

Chapter 43 Fortune Telling; Another Time Travel

Qi Ming had a Cohiba Robusto cigarette dangling from his mouth, his legs propped up on the coffee table, looking quite content.

At his feet lay a stack of Hong Kong dollars, probably worth over a million, confirming him as a wealthy man.

Of course, money wasn't that important to Liu Piaopiao. What was important was that her chubby colleague, who she thought would trigger an alarm just by eating a piece of fruit, was safely and even happily squeezing into the rich man's arms, making strange noises as she did so.

Ironclad evidence.

Liu Piaopiao had to admit that her colleague, who had practically never made a sale, was right about the saying that "the taste of the wealthy is hard to predict"...

Well, the impact of the image of a beautiful man and a beast was so strong that she subconsciously forgot the rich man's request.

She ordered her colleague to find the prettiest girl, or else she would unleash the Big Dipper Hundred Fierce Fist to beat her up.

Now that he had found her, Qi Ming pushed the chubby girl aside and waved to her, saying, "There really is someone even prettier! Go take off your heavy makeup and come drink with me!"

Some people, at certain ages, are simply not suited to heavy makeup.

Liu Piaopiao snorted, "Boss, removing and putting on makeup is such a hassle, can you just bear with it?"

She didn't want to do this job, and she spoke very bluntly. Her performance after joining the industry wasn't much better than Fatty's. Even when Handsome Qi was in front of her, she was too lazy to flatter him.

Women dress up for those who appreciate them. These tourists are all scoundrels. They'll just fool you and that's it. I'm too lazy to bother with them!

Qi Ming said to the fat girl, "Call your madam over here!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Piaopiao, remembering the madam's nagging and dissatisfaction, quickly changed her words:

"Okay, I'll go remove my makeup now. Don't call her over!"

After saying that, he turned and went outside.

The chubby girl blinked her starry eyes: "Boss, what about me? How's my makeup?"

Qi Ming exhaled a puff of smoke and commented seriously, "Sister, you definitely won't be fat if you lose weight."

The chubby girl thought for a moment before realizing what she meant, and then said in a coquettish tone, "Boss~"

"Count out ten thousand dollars yourself, take it, and close the door behind you."

"..."

Half an hour later, Liu Piaopiao returned without makeup.

After taking a few glances, Qi Ming smiled and commented:

"You looked like a ghost with that heavy makeup just now, but you look much better now. You look as innocent as a schoolgirl. Come sit down here."

Liu Piaopiao disliked the term "student girl" because it reminded her of her unpleasant past relationship, but there was nothing she could do about it at the moment, so she had to move on.

With a business-like smile and a gruff voice, he said, "Boss, you're quite something! Even your cigarettes are such big brands! I can't do that, I only smoke regular cigarettes."

She figured Qi Ming probably didn't like women who smoked, so she said that on purpose to annoy him.

Qi Ming bluntly stated, "If you're unwilling to do anything else, you can at least give me a leg massage, right? If you're not even willing to do that, then I'm going to file a complaint against you. I'm paying to have fun and relax, not to put up with your attitude!"

He's not like those directors; he doesn't have a chicken-worshipping complex.

Besides, everyone has a story to tell. You have to pay for your own story, or find an honest person to take it over!

Qi Ming is not an honest man.

Liu Piaopiao wanted to explode, but in the end she was helpless. If she had any other choice, she wouldn't have become a prostitute.

An hour later.

Qi Ming put most of the remaining money back into his bag after paying the bill and made a move to leave.

Liu Piaopiao's hands were aching from squeezing so hard, so of course she had no interest in going with him...

The madam grew impatient and, pulling her aside, said with exasperation:

"Please wake up! This is a nightclub, not a matchmaking agency! You're here to sell your smiles. If you put on a deadpan face and drive all the customers away, I don't care if I go bankrupt, but what about you starving?"

He then reasoned with them, saying, "Whoever caused you to end up in prostitution, go find someone to kill him. Don't take your anger out on your customers; they haven't done anything wrong to you!"

Liu Piaopiao stopped lighting her cigarette abruptly, realizing that what she said made a lot of sense, and that she herself was foolish for still holding a grudge over that ridiculous first love.

That's so stupid.

So she threw away the cigarette, turned around, and chased after him outside.

Qi Ming had already entered a black Range Rover... The previous Hiace was a good work vehicle, but it was too big, inconvenient for daily use, lacked off-road capability, and was far from stylish.

Just as he was about to start the car, Liu Piaopiao knocked on the window.

Qi Ming rolled down the car window and laughed, "Do you know what opportunity cost is? To put it simply, if I spend too much time on you and don't find any fun, it delays my chance to find someone else, that's opportunity cost."

Liu Piaopiao scoffed, "You think you can have fun? I can too!"

As Qi Ming lit a cigarette, he said with interest, "This 'you' probably refers not only to me, but also to your boyfriend, right?"

"That's right!"

Liu Piaopiao said earnestly, "I'm not here for the money, nor am I here as a 'chicken' (a derogatory term for a womanizer). It's just because you're beautiful that I'm so attracted to you."

Qi Ming nodded: "Get in the car!"

After Liu Piaopiao got into the car, Qi Ming said bluntly, "Do you think this will get you revenge on him? It won't get you any revenge at all. But sometimes self-deception can make you feel better, which I can understand, and I'm willing to help."

Liu Piaopiao remained silent for a moment, then wiped away her tears.

Just like when Yin Tianchou sincerely said he was willing to take care of her, she broke down in tears in the car.

The acting in the movie was superb.

This time, they are even better.

Qi Ming felt like laughing.

I'm not mocking her.

Instead, he thought of the actor who played his boyfriend, a car mechanic...

Speaking of which, will there be a Shaolin Soccer in this Hong Kong variety show world? Qi Ming is really looking forward to it.

underground garage.

Seeing Qi Ming take a long wooden box out of the trunk, Liu Piaopiao asked curiously, "What's this?"

Qi Ming made up a story: "I like collecting antiques. This contains an ancient sword from the Song Dynasty. It cost me a lot of money, so of course I have to carry it with me at all times to prevent it from being stolen."

Inside is the Heaven Sword.

Liu Piaopiao became even more curious: "You're not very old, and you're from the mainland, where did you get so much money?"

At that time, Hong Kong Island was very developed, and university graduates could earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.

There are far fewer in mainland China.

That's why there's a line in the movie like, "You only make a few hundred yuan a month, why are you risking your life?"

In the eyes of Hong Kong people, the mainland is synonymous with poverty and backwardness...

Qi Ming fabricated a persona: "Whatever you do here, you have to check the feng shui first. My real identity is one of the most professional feng shui masters in mainland China. Making money is very easy for me."

Liu Piaopiao asked in surprise, "Can you read faces? Let me see! I've had really bad luck playing cards lately!"

"Don't be in such a hurry. I'll show you when we get upstairs. I'll show you inside and out."

"..."

23 points.

Regent Hotel, Ocean View Suite.

After shushing Liu Piaopiao, Qi Ming returned, pushed her aside, placed his hand on the wooden box containing the sword, closed his eyes, and awaited the new world he was about to enter.
