Ling Tian thought for a moment and realized that he was not sure how much he should give as a gift. Thus, he casually said,""Everything depends on fate. Uncle Zhou, you can give as much as you want.”
Old Man Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said,"Alright then, I'll give you fifty.”
As he spoke, Old Man Zhou took out 50 yuan from his pocket and passed it to Ling Tian to express his gratitude.
In his heart, he thought that 50 yuan was not a small amount. After all, fortune-tellers usually asked for more than 10 or 20 yuan.
After Old Man Zhou left, Ling Tian stuffed the money into his pocket in satisfaction.
Old Zhou was his first customer. Zhang Qilin and Lin Zhao had given him gifts because of their relatives.
At this moment, he remembered the red packet that Lin Zhao had given him. Seeing that everyone had left, he took it out and took a look. He was very curious about what was inside the red packet that Lin Zhao had given him.
It was thin and did not look like it contained money. It looked more like a piece of paper.
Upon opening it, Ling Tian was shocked.
This was a check for 100,000 yuan!
Looking at the string of zeros, Ling Tian felt that it was unreal. Thinking about it, even with Lin Zhao's wealth and status, if he wasn't greedy, his monthly salary would still be quite a sum of money. However, he was given to Ling Tian so easily. It seemed like he was extremely rich!
In fact, what he didn't know was that the source of this money was very bright. It wasn't from Lin Zhao, but from that dignified and steady noblewoman.
The lady looked like a gentle lady, but she was the chairman of a clothing company!
Therefore, this sum of money was a piece of cake for her.
Putting the cheque away, Ling Tian looked at the time and saw that it was already 4 or 5 PM. There were less than two hours left before Lin Zhao's banquet. He then tidied up the table and chairs, closed the door, and left, heading towards the agreed location.
……
On the other side, after Old Man Zhou returned to the grocery store, he realized that there were only a few cigarettes and alcohol left on the shelf. He planned to go to the attic to get a new one. Just as he was about to climb up, Old Man Zhou suddenly stopped.
He recalled Ling Tian's words and swept a glance at the goods in the pavilion. He shook his head and smiled bitterly,""I'm really paranoid. However, Ling brat is right. My body is indeed not going to make it. It's time to sell the shop and enjoy life.”
As he spoke, he returned to his seat at the cash register and wrote down the announcement," This shop is for rent today!"
After Old Man Zhou finished writing, he was satisfied that his calligraphy had improved again. He could not help but say proudly,"In the future, I'll go out and exercise every day. At home, I'll focus on practicing calligraphy. Who knows, I might even become a calligraphy master of my generation!”
Just as he was dreaming, the attic suddenly collapsed with a loud crack when Old Man Zhou noticed it!
The attic made of wooden planks finally collapsed under the pressure of the goods because it was constantly gnawed and corroded by the ants.
Immediately, the goods fell, splashing dust all over the ground. The debris also exploded in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Old Man Zhou's heart suddenly felt suffocated. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with shock and disbelief.
He was completely stunned and his mind went blank. He only remembered what Ling Tian had said before,""There will be a bloody disaster today. I hope you can find someone to clean up the goods in the pavilion as soon as possible. It's best if you don't get close!”
With a sudden jolt, Old Man Zhou came back to his senses. When he took a closer look, the attic had already fallen apart. It no longer looked like an attic at all. The wooden blocks had collapsed, and the row of goods and shelves had all been smashed to the ground. If anyone had been there, they would definitely have died.
When Old Man Zhou saw this, he took out his phone in fear. With only his skinny fingers left, he dialed the number.
After thinking for a while, a young man's impatient voice came from the other end."Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"
Before Old Man Zhou could calm down, he said in a terrified tone,"Son…son, come back quickly. Something happened to the grocery store!”
The man on the phone was shocked when he heard Old Zhou's tone. He asked nervously,"Dad, what happened?"
"I can't explain this clearly. Someone almost died. Come back quickly!”Old Man Zhou did not have the time to explain too much. He looked at the house that was filled with gray smoke and directly ran out of the grocery store.
The man didn't dare to say anything else. From Old Man Zhou's situation, he didn't seem to be teasing him. He panicked and said,"Dad, don't scare me. I'll go back now. Wait for me!”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Old Man Zhou kept his phone and ran towards Lingtian's shop. However, when he arrived, he realized that the shop was already closed and Lingtian was nowhere to be seen.
Upon seeing this, Old Man Zhou muttered to himself,""What a divine divination. I didn't expect this child to have such extraordinary abilities!”
A few neighbors who heard the commotion ran out. The auntie said to Old Zhou,"Grandpa Zhou, what happened? Why is there such a huge commotion?”
"Something happened to my shop!" Old Man Zhou immediately explained. The attic suddenly collapsed, and all the groceries fell down!”
When the auntie and the others heard this, they were all shocked. Then, seeing that Old Zhou was fine, they comforted him,"It's good that she's fine. You're lucky, Sir!”
"This was all saved by Grandmaster Ling!" Under the auntie's confusion, Old Man Zhou told her about Ling Tian's fortune-telling.
Instantly, everyone present was shocked."Old Man Zhou, is that kid really that godly?”
