Chapter 7 seems to really work!
"Ugh, so annoying!"
"Why is it that either I can't find the feng shui fish I like, or the fish tanks provided by the store are too ugly?"
"How about we browse other shops first, and come back after lunch?"
After browsing several stores, Shen Jiayi still felt dissatisfied and pouted as she made a suggestion to Ye Kai.
"To be honest, the things you don't want to do now, you'll want to do even less of in two hours."
Ye Kai stroked his chin, replying thoughtfully.
What you're saying seems to make some sense.
Shen Jiayi scratched her head and suddenly felt that Ye Kai's words were very close to the truth.
"To be honest, the key to feng shui fish is not whether they are beautiful or not, but whether they are vigorous in life."
"So, we just need to choose a shop that can perfectly provide a complete package from fish to tank. As for the type and appearance of the feng shui fish, I don't think we need to care too much about it."
Ye Kai sincerely suggested.
Why?
Shen Jiayi countered with a question.
"Why don't you think about it? Why is Zhong Kui, who is so ugly, so good at catching ghosts? What's the reason behind that?"
Ye Kai gave an example.
"I see!"
"Being ugly is truly something that even gods and ghosts hate!"
Shen Jiayi tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then instantly grasped the true meaning of the matter, and her initial slight entanglement vanished in an instant.
Once you open your mind, the problem will naturally be solved.
Five minutes later, the two of them sat on a three-wheeled tuk-tuk, circling a fully automatic saltwater fish tank that was more than two meters long, and sputtered away from the flower and bird market.
Together with the workers, Ye Kai carried the fish tank home, helped Shen Jiayi put the feng shui fish into the tank, added water, added additives of unknown composition, and adjusted the automatic water supply, oxygen supply, and temperature control devices. Watching the group of black clownfish swim happily, Ye Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, let's solve the feng shui problem with feng shui methods. There's nothing wrong with that. Even if Zhang Tianshi came, he wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it, and even if Lai Buyi came, he could only raise his hands and applaud.
"Do you think this thing even works?"
After finishing her work, Shen Jiayi stretched in front of the huge fish tank, but suddenly began to doubt herself.
"Hmm, it should be somewhat useful."
Ye Kai was touring the Shen family's mansion when he heard this and gave a casual reply.
This entire set of equipment cost more than six thousand yuan. Based on the theory that wealth brings peace and happiness, the feng shui of the Shen family should improve.
Besides, Ye Kai has already solved the biggest problem for the Shen family. The issue involving Shen Jiayi's mother, Jiang Xin, is just a minor ailment and won't cause any big trouble.
"Buzzing—buzzing—"
Shen Jiayi's phone suddenly vibrated.
"Jiajia, hasn't your mother come back yet?"
The call was from Shen Mingsun, but he sounded a little agitated, as if something had disturbed his heart, which he had long since cultivated to be as calm as a still well. Even Shen Jiayi, a high school student with no social experience, could tell from his tone.
"No."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until next week? What's wrong, Dad?"
Shen Jiayi found it strange that her father would ask such a seemingly unnecessary question, since he had told her about it before.
"Tsk, well, it's nothing serious."
"Well... maybe my luck has finally turned around..."
"I'm not going to say anymore, I'm not going to say anymore."
"Ahem, if you have time, remember to watch the news at 7 p.m. tonight, pay attention to the first five minutes."
Shen Mingsun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't contain his excitement and gave his daughter a vague answer.
"What exactly does my dad mean?"
After putting down her phone, Shen Jiayi looked at Ye Kai with a puzzled expression.
"That's just how leaders talk... always so vague and ambiguous..."
"Actually, it's not hard to understand."
Ye Kai had overheard the father and daughter's phone conversation and already knew exactly what was going on.
Is the first five minutes of the 7 PM news broadcast accessible to the average person?
When Shen Mingsun called his daughter, he naturally didn't have the idea of keeping his achievements a secret. As a father, when he achieved something, he would naturally want to share it with his little darling immediately.
"But I deliberately kept it a secret, just to surprise you!"
At this moment, Ye Kai was a bit of a nuisance in Shen Jiayi's eyes. However, he kept his mouth shut. Even when Shen Jiayi transformed into the ancient Greek god of the compass again, Ye Kai did not yield to her pressure. He simply enjoyed watching her anxious look as she scratched her head and showed no goddess demeanor.
It was exactly 7 p.m. on the sofa in the Shen family's living room.
Shen Jiayi hugged the huge teddy bear, her eyes wide open like saucers.
"Don't be so nervous. The news broadcasts now are about the most important meetings. It's not Uncle Shen's turn to be on camera yet."
"It's not too late to glare at me three minutes later."
Ye Kai lay reclining on one side of the sofa, holding a can of mixed fruit in his hand, squinting as he savored it.
The winter climate is a bit dry, so occasionally eating some canned fruit can help moisturize the lungs and relieve dryness, which is crucial for a high school student like him who is prone to acne.
"Are canned foods really that delicious?"
Shen Jiayi glanced at Ye Kai, but kept her attention focused on the TV screen, continuing her wide-eyed stare, afraid of missing even a single frame. However, she couldn't understand why Ye Kai would show such a "really delicious" expression when eating a can of fruit.
"Don't you know there's an eternal truth about humanity?"
"What others eat tastes best!"
Ye Kai finished the last big bite of the canned food with relish, licked his lips, and replied with a hint of lingering satisfaction.
"Damn it!"
Even someone as well-mannered as the academic goddess Shen Jiayi couldn't help but express her disdain for Ye Kai's behavior.
She then forgot about mocking Ye Kai, because it was finally Shen Mingsun's turn to appear on screen.
"Damn it!"
"This time, your dad really pulled off a major victory!"
When he could clearly see the TV screen, even the usually calm Ye Kai couldn't help but stand up.
Nothing more than shock.
In his memory, the Xinghua City team was quite lucky this time. Although they didn't achieve any outstanding results, they were fully recognized by the organizers when showcasing their team's style and even made the news.
After the news came back, the deputy section chief who led the team was in high spirits. He was promoted one level to a full section chief position on the spot, and his subsequent development was very smooth. It can be said that he rose rapidly through the ranks.
According to Ye Kai's plan, he guided Shen Mingsun to avoid the crisis of staying in Xinghua City and instead go to the capital to obtain this benefit, which was quite worthwhile for the five thousand US dollars he borrowed from him. However, he did not expect Shen Mingsun's luck to be so terrifying.
CTV gave it a full 18 seconds of screen time.
Shen Mingsun, with an excited yet concise expression, introduced Xinghua City's entries and advantages in front of the camera, focusing on the development of Xinghua City's e-commerce industry, leaving a deep impression of his down-to-earth and hardworking nature.
"C-oh!"
"C-O!"
"Damn it!"
"Your dad really hit the jackpot this time!"
"He's going to be rich!"
Ye Kai couldn't help but give a triple exclamation of praise, and then made a definitive judgment.
Even without his comment, Shen Jiayi could tell that her father was indeed incredibly lucky.
"The leaves are opening! The leaves are opening!"
"You told me to buy feng shui fish, and it seems to really work!"
Shen Jiayi excitedly pushed away the teddy bear in her arms, hugged the bewildered Ye Kai, and jumped and laughed.
