I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 525 - 432 The People Have Arrived_2

Fang Qiu said with a troubled expression, "That’s right. Our Fangzun Group has indeed run into some trouble recently. I came to see you this time because of that, but I feel that Mister Xia has already helped our Fang Family too much. I didn’t want to bother you again, so I was unsure how to start."

"I take payment to solve problems. I can handle yours." Xia Liang casually took a sip of his Happy Soda Drink.

Just as Fang Qiu was overjoyed and about to state his problem, Xia Liang shook his head as if to stop him, then slowly wrote down several names.

When Fang Qiu realized who the names belonged to, he froze. With his intelligence, how could he not understand Xia Liang’s implication? These were all high-level employees of his group; one was even a senior executive.

These people! Could it be...

Fang Qiu swallowed hard. Recently, several of Fangzun Group’s projects had suffered setbacks, and some had even been snatched by rival companies. This caused Fangzun Group’s market value to shrink by several hundred Yuan. They had investigated but found nothing, dismissing the incidents as accidents. But for Xia Liang to write down these names... didn’t that imply there was something fishy about the whole affair?

"Alright, there are other clients waiting," Xia Liang said with a faint smile. "But I must remind you, be careful who you hire. You must always guard against corporate espionage."

When he looked into Fang Qiu’s trajectory of fate, he already knew what the man wanted to ask. Xia Liang immediately suspected corporate espionage, so he checked the personnel related to the projects. Since Fang Qiu knew all of them, he could investigate them directly. He quickly found one spy, and by following that man’s trajectory of fate, he exposed the others as well.

After hearing Xia Liang’s words, Fang Qiu nodded hurriedly. "Understood, understood."

A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes. If these people really were corporate spies, he would make sure they paid for it.

"Then I’ll take my leave," Fang Qiu said.

"Mm," Xia Liang nodded lightly. "Next." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Standing outside the door, Liu Yu and Ye Yuan both straightened their backs when they heard Xia Liang’s call. They were both eager to meet him.

In the next moment, Fang Qiu walked out of Xia Liang’s room, already pulling out his phone, his face a mask of fury. Clearly, the matter of the corporate spies had left him with a lot of pent-up rage. He nodded at the two men waiting before heading downstairs.

Liu Yu had come up with Fang Qiu, so he wasn’t surprised. Ye Yuan, however, was stunned when he saw Fang Qiu, recognizing him instantly.

He was in the real estate business himself and had some dealings with Fangzun Group, but he had only ever interacted with minor figures there. Now, standing before him was one of the true powers behind the company. Who was Fang Qiu? A director of the Fangzun Group. Together with his brother, he controlled the entire corporation. Fangzun Group’s business activities spanned the entire Dragon Country and even extended overseas, making it one of the nation’s top enterprises. Compared to a giant like that, his own influence as a local snake was nothing. Fang Qiu, for his part, had no idea who the man before him was, nor did he care.

And now, such a magnate was here to visit Xia Liang.

Ye Yuan swallowed nervously, thinking the two Yuan he had prepared might not be enough. He had only heard about Xia Liang from his father and didn’t know much about him, so he still felt some apprehension. But the appearance of both Liu Yu and Fang Qiu completely dispelled his doubts.

Such important figures are coming to Xia Liang for Fortune Telling, and I actually dared to have a sliver of doubt?

If he knew the information Xia Liang gave Fang Qiu was worth hundreds of Yuan, Ye Yuan would probably be struck speechless.

"Then I’ll go in now." Seeing Fang Qiu exit, Liu Yu was the second to walk into Xia Liang’s room, not standing on ceremony. After all, whether by order of arrival or the unofficial rule of ’officials before businessmen,’ Ye Yuan was supposed to wait for him.

"Secretary Liu, please." Ye Yuan nodded.

If anyone else knew that Qingyun City’s Secretary General, Liu Yu, and the real estate tycoon, Ye Yuan, were obediently queuing for a Fortune Teller, few would believe it.

Taking advantage of the brief opening, Ye Yuan glanced at Xia Liang. He couldn’t help but sigh. Looks can be deceiving. He’s so young, yet he has an aura of mystery and profundity. As the door was closing, he noticed Xia Liang look up at him for a split second. Even though it was just a moment, Ye Yuan felt as if all his secrets had been laid bare.

Seeing that Liu Yu was next, Ye Yuan, now waiting alone, grew even more anxious. He paced back and forth in the hallway like an ant on a hot pan, tormented with impatience.

Meanwhile, Liu Yu entered the room with an excited expression. He went straight to Xia Liang and placed his items on the table. These were all top-tier gifts, including a bottle of five-star Maotai worth one Yuan and premium tea worth several tenths of a Yuan. Liu Yu wouldn’t even bear to open them at home for himself, but for a chance to see Xia Liang, he had brought them all, swallowing the heartache. He knew his gifts were surely not as valuable as what someone like Fang Qiu had brought. Therefore, the sincerity of the gesture was what truly mattered.

"Mister Xia, I—"

"You want to ask about your career, don’t you?" Before Liu Yu could finish, Xia Liang interrupted him with a faint smile, voicing the thought on his mind.

"Exactly!" Liu Yu nodded hastily, his voice trembling as goosebumps broke out across his skin. Although he knew Xia Liang’s abilities were terrifying, he hadn’t expected this. Xia Liang had figured out his purpose for coming before he had said a single word.

Perhaps there is nothing in this world that Mister Xia cannot divine.

Taking a deep breath to compose himself, Liu Yu finally spoke. "In a few days, the appointment for a deputy head position in a county-level city will be announced. I’ve been losing sleep over it. I’ve worked for Commander Sun for a long time, and he was the one who recommended me for this position. However, I have inside information that there are quite a few candidates, so I wanted to ask..."

Though Liu Yu spoke slowly, the urgency in his voice was unmistakable. He was already over forty. If he didn’t get this promotion, he might never have another chance in his life. That was why he had rushed over to see Xia Liang immediately after witnessing his incredible abilities the day before.

Seeing his state, Xia Liang just smiled. "No need to be anxious. Let me do a reading for you."

Making a gesture with his fingers as if performing a calculation, Xia Liang focused his mind. Rows of information appeared before his eyes, detailing what would happen to Liu Yu over the next ten days. On the seventh day, he saw the answer to Liu Yu’s question and his brows furrowed slightly.

His small movement didn’t escape Liu Yu’s notice. Liu Yu felt his heart skip a beat and he asked hastily, "Mister Xia, is there a problem?"

"There is indeed a problem," Xia Liang nodded. "This appointment isn’t for you. It’s for a man named Liao Daben."

"What!"

Liu Yu felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. He collapsed onto the sofa, muttering to himself.

I knew it.

In fact, he had already received word before coming here that the position was confirmed for Liao Daben. He had come as a last resort, hoping for a final sliver of hope. But when the name "Liao Daben" came from Xia Liang’s lips, Liu Yu plunged into despair.

Seeing this, Xia Liang shook his head. Liu Yu’s trajectory of fate was clean; he was an upright man who had never taken a bribe, a truly incorruptible official. In contrast, the man taking his place as deputy head was a corrupt, pot-bellied scoundrel who lined his own pockets. Through Liu Yu, Xia Liang also took a look at this man’s fate. He found that the man’s record was incredibly dark; he was keeping several mistresses and was even connected to a few criminal cases.
