I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 540 - 441: That’s it?
Xia Liang also took out his phone and said lightly, "Then I’ll have a look."
The moment he finished speaking, he unlocked his phone, apparently checking something. A few seconds later, Xia Liang finally spoke.
"In two hours, it will go from clear to cloudy, with temperatures ranging from thirty-one to twenty-three degrees. By eight o’clock tonight, there will be light rain."
At his words, the others were all stunned. It wasn’t because his prediction was accurate, but because his phrasing sounded so familiar.
"May I ask, Master Xia, how do you know this?" a man in a junior seat spoke up. It was Director Qiu from the neighboring Jinhai City Security Bureau. Beside him sat Deputy Director Li.
Several people looked at Xia Liang with puzzled expressions. Unfazed, he simply turned his phone screen to show everyone. Pointing at the weather forecast displayed on the screen, he said, "With technology so advanced, you can just use your phone to check the weather. We should trust in science."
Seeing this, several of the men snickered to themselves.
"You really keep up with the times, Master Xia," Sun Zhihai said with a wry smile.
Elder Sun Guoming, however, seemed to have understood something and nodded his head. "What do you people know? Master Xia knew the weather would be exactly as predicted, so he just used the forecast. If there were going to be any differences, what Master Xia said would have been the truth!"
Seeing Elder Sun Guoming defend Xia Liang’s every action, Sun Zhihai felt helpless. After all this talk, Xia Liang still hadn’t actually done anything since he’d walked in the door, making it impossible for Sun Zhihai to expose him.
"To forgive you is God’s business; my job is to send you to meet Him."
Just as Sun Zhihai was wondering what to do next, Xia Liang, who was in the middle of his meal, suddenly uttered an inexplicable sentence, causing everyone to pause. Everyone wondered why on earth Xia Liang would say that.
Just as Sun Zhihai was about to ask, a voice from the TV in the corner of the room captured their attention.
"To forgive you is God’s business; my job is to send you to meet Him."
A character on the screen had spoken the exact same line as Xia Liang.
Sitting in front of the TV was Sun Zhihai’s young son, who was only a few years old. Being too young to join the adults for the meal, he had been fed by the nanny and was now watching TV by himself.
Because the line on the TV matched what Xia Liang had just said, everyone’s attention was drawn to the screen.
Xia Liang, however, continued eating his meal without so much as turning his head.
Elder Sun Guoming and Liu Yu’s eyes lit up. They knew Xia Liang had begun.
The next second, Xia Liang took a small sip of wine and continued, "Red beans grow in the southern lands, sprouting new branches when spring arrives. I hope you gather them aplenty, for nothing speaks of longing more."
The moment he finished speaking, everyone stared intently at the TV screen.
A popular drama was on, one that Sun Zhihai had seen before. But he didn’t recall the show ever featuring the ancient poem that Xia Liang had just recited.
The next second, Sun Zhihai’s young son suddenly grabbed the remote and changed the channel.
A host on the new channel was reciting the ancient poem "Longing"!
"Red beans grow in the southern lands, sprouting new branches when spring arrives. I hope you gather them aplenty, for nothing speaks of longing more!"
At this, everyone stared in renewed astonishment. Even Sun Zhihai found it hard to believe.
Could it be that Xia Liang can really predict what’s going to happen?
"Master Xia’s abilities are truly astounding! And you still doubted him? Look! What more proof do you need?" Elder Sun Guoming laughed heartily.
But Sun Zhihai remained skeptical. True, Xia Liang hadn’t looked back or even glanced at the TV. But what if he was just very familiar with this show and knew every line? If he’d been quietly listening to the dialogue, he could have easily spoken the line right before the character did. Guessing that first line correctly doesn’t prove anything. What I don’t understand is how he knew my son would suddenly change the channel, or what the host on the other station was about to say.
Nonetheless, Sun Zhihai still raised his glass to Xia Liang. "Master Xia indeed possesses real skills. I wonder if you could predict what dialogue will appear next on the TV?"
Elder Sun Guoming, thinking Xia Liang would be angered by the challenge, was about to scold his son, but Xia Liang simply smiled at Sun Zhihai and then spoke.
"Not much. I’m hungry, and I want a Xiao Wang Brand ice cream."
As soon as he said it, everyone’s eyes snapped back to the TV. Even Sun Zhihai grew a little tense.
Then, a character in the drama spoke the next line of dialogue.
"Belief brings it into being; disbelief invites nothing."
Seeing that the character’s line had absolutely no connection to what Xia Liang had said, Sun Zhihai and the others visibly relaxed and exchanged smiles.
Okay, now I’m certain he just got lucky before.
Only Liu Yu and Elder Sun Guoming refused to believe it, keeping their eyes glued to the TV and insisting the next line would match.
But the next second, Sun Zhihai’s son turned off the TV, leaving even Liu Yu and Elder Sun Guoming momentarily dumbfounded.
And Sun Zhihai’s young son even scurried over to his father.
