In the early morning, Chu Qianli woke up sleepily. She turned off the alarm clock on her mobile phone, lay on the bed and looked at the astrology chart, and finally got up slowly to take a shower.
On the desk, homework books and playing cards were spread out in a mess, and there were stacks of unopened tarot cards beside them. Chu Qianli casually swept the objects on the table into the school bag, then lifted the bag irresponsibly, and finally finished his tidying work.
"Ah, I almost forgot." Chu Qianli reached out her hand to fumble for the playing cards in her bag, and she quickly counted them, planning to perform routine divination.
This has been her habit since childhood.
Every day she had to divination the same question.
Chu Qianli didn't need to use the card array to interpret it anymore. She took out a few poker cards and opened them one by one on the table.
The answer to this question has not changed.
The so-called right time, place and people are all about timing, but she doesn't know when she will be able to wait for the opportunity.
At the dinner table, Chu Qianli and He Shichen sat opposite each other and had breakfast. They were going to school later to welcome a brand new Monday.
Chu Qianli stole a glance at He Shichen, and while chewing on the steamed buns, she reminded, "Make money."
He Shichen ate in silence and politely.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Chu Qianli immediately began to chant the mantra: "Make money, make money, make money..."
"Shut up, don't eat, don't talk, don't sleep." He Shichen's expression collapsed for a second. His blood pressure rose in the morning, and he said angrily, "And the main job of students is to study, don't always focus on short-term gains."
Chu Qianli: "Our family is engaged in the Internet, you should get used to 996 now."
He Shichen: "..." Listen, are these all human words
He Shichen doesn't want to talk to Chu Qianli now, he was repairing his broken world view yesterday, and to be honest, he can't stand any stimulation right now. This is like ghosts and ghosts appearing in novels from reality. If there is no high-energy warning, any reader will have to slow down.
He Shichen didn't plan to think about Chu Qianli's affairs recently, he needed some time to digest the shocking information.
In the class, Chu Qianli ushered in a rare peace. He Shichen regarded her as an invisible person, and for the time being ignored her behavior of sleeping in class.
Tan Mu Xing was quite surprised: "I always feel that your relationship with He Shichen has changed."
Chu Qianli: "I guess he looks like the Muggle who saw magic for the first time in "Harry Potter"."
Tan Muxing smiled wryly: "Is He Shichen considered a Muggle?"
Qiu Qingkong rushed over excitedly. She greeted Chu Qianli's classmate in the front seat, then occupied the other's seat, sat at the same table with Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing, and said excitedly, "I'm here to apprentice!"
Chu Qianli replied freely: "Ah, I have seen your astrolabe, and you are indeed suitable to learn these."
Tan Muxing asked doubtfully, "Apprentice teacher?"
Qiu Qingkong's face was full of excitement: "That's right, I've seen many videos on the Internet that are not so accurate, so I want to learn from a teacher."
Qiu Qingkong has always been interested in the occult, but there are mixed fortune-tellers on the Internet. She discovered Chu Qianli's amazing strength, and immediately decided to formally learn from a teacher.
Chu Qianli said slowly: "Although I promised to teach you, you don't need to call me a teacher. I can only provide personal experience, and interpretation is a personal thing."
Each fortuneteller has his or her own interpretation style, in other words, even divination is individualized.
"That can be regarded as a teacher. What do you want to learn now?" Qiu Qingkong's eyes lit up, and she said abruptly, "Oh, should I pay for teaching first, people on the Internet charge for teaching..."
Chu Qianli: "I don't charge your tuition, but I need you to do something."
Qiu Qingkong: "What's the matter?"
Chu Qianli put a note on the table, and then pushed it to Qiu Qingkong: "Just help me spread the content on it."
Chu Qianli has analyzed Qiu Qingkong's astrolabe, and the other party has a very strong ability to spread information, and can remain active for a long time.
Tan Muxing turned his head to look, and he found that the note was a price list, with fees classified according to astrology dice, tarot cards, poker, etc., and the divination time limit of various tools was marked on the back. At the bottom, there is a separate "horary and horoscope", which claims to be able to answer any question, and the price is the most expensive.
Tan Muxing understood that Chu Qianli would not charge Qiu Qingkong's tuition, but arranged for Qiu Qingkong to post small advertisements.
Qiu Qingkong took the note, and after reading it, she suddenly realized: "I understand, the teacher wants to promote the business."
Tan Muxing looked at Chu Qianli, and he commented objectively: "It's very appropriate for you to let her do this."
"Yes, I think her astrolabe is very popular and has a strong ability to spread information, so..." Chu Qianli suddenly came back to her senses, she looked at her tablemate in surprise, and asked in a daze, "Do you know astrology too?"
Otherwise, how could he make such an evaluation
Tan Muxing shook his head: "Sorry, I can't."
Chu Qianli was stunned: "Then how do you know she is suitable?"
Qiu Qingkong raised her hand and said, "Teacher, the whole class knows that my family is engaged in the media."
Tan Muxing added in a good-natured way: "One of the largest media companies in China can know without astrology."
Chu Qianli: "!!?"
Tan Muxing looked at the shocked look on the tablemate, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that what you said last time is correct, using astrology is almost cost-effective, and occasionally there are other ways."
Chu Qianli said that she read Ma Zhe to escape her instinct, and Tan Muxing now understands her inertial thinking.
"The content is too simple, there are no gimmicks like those on the Internet, and now the Internet articles have to have messy names to be read." Qiu Qingkong touched his chin while making suggestions, "Let me help the teacher change it, anyway, the basic information is reserved. OK?"
Chu Qianli said decisively: "Very well, it's up to you, Pikaqiu!"
Tan Muxing: "The homophonic stalk will be deducted."
The three of them got together to give advice, Qiu Qingkong served as the copywriter, Tan Muxing served as the artist, and Chu Qianli served as the party A.
"According to the teacher's divination ability, the price should also be adjusted..." Qiu Qingkong wanted to take a pen to add zeros after the number, but found that the penholder was held by Chu Qianli, and couldn't help but look up in astonishment.
Chu Qianli stopped him and said, "Don't change the price."
"why?"
"Exactly, this can also be regarded as your introductory class." Chu Qianli paused for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Although many fortune tellers rely on astrology and Tarot to make profits and enjoy the fame and status brought by the stars, I am not very I like the feeling... ”
"This is not to say that it is not good to use the stars to make money, but that people who come to ask for the stars are basically desperate. Many people would never believe the words of the stars if they were not hit hard. They are suffering to the extreme and pin their hopes on this .”
Chu Qianli has received many first-time astrologists, and most of them are trapped in suffocating despair. If they are happy people, they will rarely want to spy on their fate.
Many people get lost in the long dark night, so they hope for a little bit of starlight on the night.
Even so, they may doubt the fortune-teller, and they may be deceived by the fortune-teller.
Chu Qianli fiddled with the astrology dice on the table, heard their crisp sound, and said softly: "The powerful and powerful will use the stars to consolidate their status, but those who really need the stars may not be able to reach them in their entire lives. The reality so far may have violated the spirit of astrology."
Top fortune tellers always work for the successful in the worldly sense, but these people are often not the group that desperately needs the power of the stars.
Tan Muxing caught her rare solemnity, and asked tentatively, "Astrological spirit?"
"Well, have you seen "Harry Potter"? We are Muggles who don't know magic all our lives, but we are still moved by magical stories. I think this is the spirit of astrology."
Chu Qianli smiled and said: "It is possible that you will not be able to calculate the divination for the rest of your life, but you will also be shocked by the philosophy of the stars, and realize that it is meaningful for you to come to this world, and there are some things that only I can do."
The birth chart reveals each person's life lessons, which are unique and irreplaceable.
Under the vast starry sky, everyone is as insignificant as a dust, but still wants to use the starlight to be a dust that dances recklessly.
"Of course, this is my family's opinion, and there are many people who oppose me." Chu Qianli sighed, and she looked at Qiu Qingkong, "So I don't object to you earning a lot of money from stars, and I said in advance that you don't need to be a teacher."
Qiu Qingkong was taken aback for a moment: "Why do they oppose you? I think what you said is very good."
"It's not normal to be opposed. Scientists often fight." Chu Qianli forgot how many people criticized him. Anyway, there are too many people to count, just like the stars in the sky.
She counted numbly with her fingers: "Besides, there are so many schools of numerology, and there are several schools of astrology alone. The ancient Eastern astrology, the Guolao Xingzong, and the Qizheng Siyu, have been handed down and are collectively called fortune-telling by laymen. Western astrology is divided into classical ones. Astrology and modern astrology, the ancient astrology school and the modern astrology school can fight, and the western astrology has atheism and can fight... "
Chu Qianli occasionally felt that he was not an astrologer, but actually a battle star master, fighting with other people who studied the stars every day.
Tan Muxing asked curiously: "Then which faction do you belong to?"
Chu Qianli said frankly: "I have learned everything and mastered it well, so I can be regarded as the school of 'the key point is being pinched'."
Talking about Mu Xing: "..."
Tan Muxing imagined that she claimed to be a believer in Marxism to people who practiced metaphysics, and realized that it was indeed enough for her to drink a pot, and it was impossible not to make people angry.
Qiu Qingkong: "So the teacher doesn't like to use astrology to make money?"
Chu Qianli: "That's not true. Rich people should charge more, and those without money should charge less. Try to reduce the gap between rich and poor."
Qiu Qingkong nodded thoughtfully, and she stretched out her hand to add zero to the price: "Then the price should still be changed."
Chu Qianli opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Why?"
Qiu Qingkong: "Because it's really too low, just two cups of milk tea."
Chu Qianli was dumbfounded: "Is the milk tea so expensive for people in the city!?"
Tan Muxing echoed, "The original price is indeed not expensive for the people in the class. Of course, our school is quite special."
Qiu Qingkong agreed: "Teacher doesn't understand the material world at all."
Chu Qianli retreated tactically, she said in disbelief: "Why do you know that I ignore the material world? Have you never seen my astrolabe?"
Tan Muxing whispered: "... because many things can be known without astrology."
Tan Muxing found that Chu Qianli lacked common sense in life. She was really only good at things related to the stars. Every day, she spread her desk in a mess and slept on the courses she was not interested in.
She probably doesn't know how rich the class is, nor does she understand the cost of food and clothing, luxury watches and cars.
For example, the pen that Qiu Qingkong is holding to write is very valuable now, but in Chu Qianli's opinion, it is probably an ordinary pen.
After discussing with Tan Muxing, Qiu Qingkong and Tan Muxing reached a satisfactory agreement on the pricing of Chu Qianli's divination.
Chu Qianli looked at the new price in panic. She re-acquainted herself with her environment and suppressed her sobs: "Uh, uh, capitalism, which is so evil, will one day usher in the liberation of all mankind..."
She knew that people at school were supposed to be rich, but her imagination for riches was too barren to adjust to village prices.
Tan Muxing showed the finished product to Party A with his mobile phone, and comforted him with kind words: "Yes, yes, we will all be liberated, how about the layout now?"
What Chu Qianli gave was a scrawled note. The text was polished by Qiu Qingkong and typeset by Tan Muxing, and now it has become an exquisite electronic picture.
Chu Qianli looked at the pattern of stars and moons embellished with words, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, you just drew it? You can also design?"
Tan Muxing said shyly, "Well, I sometimes draw clothes, and this one is about the same."
Chu Qianli: "It's amazing, will you be a fashion designer in the future?"
Tan Muxing was at a loss for a moment: "Ah, this..."
Qiu Qingkong raised her hand and said, "Teacher, he has several clothing brands in his family. I don't think it's his turn to do design."
Like the He family, Qiu Qingkong's family has only developed rapidly in recent years, and they are engaged in businesses such as media, Internet, and finance.
Tan Muxing's family is engaged in business, since his grandfather's grandfather has been rich, the family network is quite extensive, and the clothing industry is just one of them.
Hearing this, Chu Qianli stared silently at the tablemate, and suddenly realized that it was really him.
Tan Muxing looked back at Chu Qianli in embarrassment, he blushed for his class, lowered his head and said weakly: "I'm sorry."
It was he who betrayed the people.
I can only apologize to believers in Marxism.
Chu Qianli: "..." I didn't expect that a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would betray the revolution!
As an inexperienced astrologer, Chu Qianli suffered double blows from Qiu Qingkong and Tan Muxing. Now she has no psychological burden and can charge fees to her classmates without guilt.
She deeply feels that narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor is imminent, and she must contribute to reducing the domestic Gini coefficient.
