Chapter 694: Something Is Wrong
“You brat!” Old Master Jiang looked at her with a smile.
“Thank you, grandpas, for your love today. In the future, I’ll have to work harder and let you praise me more.” Jiang Ning was good at socializing and had finally surpassed her unruly and willful side, fully displaying her social skills.
Everyone praised her happily. Jiang Ning had become the center of attention, and Qin Fanya, who was originally in the center position on every occasion, had been marginalized.
She smiled and said, “There’s a business summit on the island in a few days. Is Jiang Ning going over?”
Hearing Qin Fanya mention this summit, Jiang Ning immediately smiled. “I’m going to take charge of the Jiang family now, so I naturally have to go. However, I’m still inexperienced. When the time comes, I hope you can give me some pointers.”
Qin Fanya smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve been there a few times and am quite familiar with it. When the time comes, you can follow me. Our Qin family is also one of the organizers this time. I can take care of you.”
Jiang Ning glanced at her and said with a smile, “I’ve already spoken to Grandpa Fu. Grandpa Fu can take care of me. Fanya, Grandpa Fu should have a little more experience than you. Do you want to ask Grandpa Fu to take care of you too?”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Grandpa Fu,” Qin Fanya said with a smile.
This psychological battle between them could be considered a draw.
When Shi Jin heard this seriously, she felt that something was wrong and immediately had a thought. “Jiang Ning, don’t go when the time comes. Grandpa, don’t go either.”
Fu Zhaoxiang stood by the side and saw that Shi Jin’s expression had changed. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong? I was going to go over too.”
Qiu Xingmi also quickly looked at her.
Shi Jin only remembered when she heard them speak. She had not deliberately recalled many things from her previous life.
However, at the critical moment of such an important matter, some keywords would always stimulate a thought in her heart and she would immediately remember something.
And the Island Summit was such an extremely important matter.
She remembered that when the people from Hong Kong went to attend the summit, the weather forecast showed that there was nothing wrong with the weather at that time. However, a sudden tsunami almost overturned the entire island.
At that time, because the island was holding a summit, no one else could go to the island. However, the number of casualties at the summit exceeded 50, and it became sensational news.
Hearing Fu Zhaoxiang ask about Shi Jin, everyone looked towards her.
Jiang Ning also asked curiously, “That’s right, Shi Jin. Why can’t we go?”
It was impossible for Shi Jin to tell them the truth. Furthermore, the tsunami might not be detected in advance. It would only cause more trouble.
She immediately smiled and said, “It’s just my own calculations. Grandpa, Dad, I looked over some trigrams previously and made some calculations. It’s not appropriate for you to go in the direction of the island during this time.”
“Eh, you know how to do those?” Old Master Fu was also puzzled.
“That’s right. Based on your birthdays, the direction of the island is the Death Gate of the Feng Shui Sect. It’s not good for your recent travel, so I suggest you don’t participate in this summit.” Up to now, Shi Jin could only spout nonsense.
Although Old Master Fu was skeptical about such metaphysics, Shi Jin’s words now carried a lot of weight. He nodded and said, “Since you say so, Zhaoxiang and I won’t go over.”
“That makes sense. Shi Jin has always been right,” Qiu Xingmi echoed.
Seeing that they were willing to listen to her advice, Shi Jin was naturally happy.
Jiang Ning asked, “What about me?”
Shi Jin said to her, “That direction is not good for you recently. I suggest you don’t go either.”
Jiang Yiqian could not help but say, “Shi Jin, is there any basis for your words?”
“There’s no basis, so whether you want to go or not has nothing to do with me. It’s up to you,” Shi Jin said indifferently, very speechless at her rude words.
“How did you calculate it? Don’t you know that that kind of thing is no longer popular in modern society?” Jiang Yiqian was angry when she saw Shi Jin’s confident attitude.
“That’s why I didn’t force you to believe me or advise you to do anything. But Grandpa and Dad are my family, and Jiang Ning is my friend. I’ll be responsible for them.”
“Yiqian, you’re too rude.” Old Master Jiang was also on Shi Jin’s side and immediately reprimanded.
Qin Fanya immediately said, “Grandpa Jiang, don’t be angry. What Yiqian said is not completely unreasonable. It’s indeed rare to hear such words from Shi Jin in modern society. Of course it will cause some discussion.”
Shi Jin glanced at her and said, “I have nothing to discuss. The conclusion is that we’re not going.”
Old Master Wang, who was standing by the side, trusted Old Master Fu very much. He immediately said to Shi Jin, “Shi Jin, I’m really curious about this. Tell me, can I go? And can our family go?”
Since she had already said that, Shi Jin could only ask, “Can I know your birth characters?”
Old Master Wang immediately wrote down the names of his son and grandson who were going to the island summit.
Actually, people of the older generation like them believed in this very much. Be it doing business in the past, building buildings, or opening a company, they had to invite people to calculate these things.
It was not only to ask for good fortune, but also to reassure themselves.
Shi Jin took it and took a casual look. She said, “The surname Wang is a good surname. It can suppress ordinary illnesses and disasters, so it’s reasonable for the Wang Group to expand over the years. But forgive me for being blunt, but this island summit has a serious conflict with your surname and birthday. If we really go and participate, I’m afraid there will be a bloody calamity.”
“Then how should we resolve it?” Old Master Wang was the most superstitious and immediately asked.
“Just don’t go,” Shi Jin said.
Old Master Wang agreed and immediately nodded. He already believed Shi Jin.
Qin Fanya frowned heavily. “Shi Jin, do you really not know who the organizers of the island summit are?”
“I really don’t know, because I didn’t pay attention to it before, but no matter who it is, I’ll say this—since many people are at odds with that place, why don’t we change the venue this time? Perhaps it will be more beneficial to the organizers.”
The Qin family was one of the organizers of the island summit this time. Many things were handled by Qin Fanya. She was originally filled with confidence and prepared to go all out. The location and preparations were all done by her.
And yet Shi Jin had only used a few words to completely erase her credit. How could Qin Fanya allow herself to lose face like that?
She immediately said, “Before I chose this place to hold the summit, I had also consulted an expert. This expert is also the most famous master in Hong Kong. If you want the summit to choose a new place with just a few words, where should the master’s words be placed?”
