Chapter 2

Red-Eyed Baby Tag

You could tell from the way Mr. Li looked at me that he thought I was a charlatan.

I didn't pay any attention, poured two drops of the Ghost Eye Paste into my palm, rubbed it together, and said to Mr. Yang, "Mr. Yang, close your eyes!"

Mr. Yang closed his eyes, leaned closer, his face full of excitement for the unknown.

Da Cheng was extremely anxious, wanting to offer advice but not daring to, so he could only quietly clasp his hands together and pray that nothing bad would happen.

I forced a smile, placed my hand over Mr. Yang's eyes, gently rubbed them a couple of times, then removed my hand and said, "Mr. Yang, no matter what you see later, don't scream!"

"Um!"

Mr. Yang nodded perfunctorily, then impatiently opened his eyes.

"What's that, grass?"

The moment Yang saw the vengeful spirit sitting on the model Xiao Ran, he pointed at Xiao Ran and swore, his face showing a mixture of fear and excitement.

Pointed at by President Yang, the spirit on Xiao Ran's body slowly turned its head to look at President Yang.

"He looked at me! He looked at me!"

Mr. Yang was startled and took two steps back, his face showing extreme fear.

"Brother Feng!"

Upon seeing this, Da Cheng almost burst into tears.

"fine!"

I waved my hand dismissively, took a step forward, extended my right index and middle fingers, clenched my ring and little fingers, and pressed my thumb against the nails of my ring and little fingers. I pointed at the spirit, and with my left hand, I produced a small, square, reddish-brown seal, about an inch square, and smashed it down on the spirit's forehead, chanting at the same time: "Northern Feng Xuan Tian, ​​all ghosts lie hidden. Where the seal's light shines, all misfortune vanishes. Hasten, hasten, as commanded by the Northern Emperor!"

The moment the word "edict" was uttered, the small seal was imprinted on the head of the spirit.

The moment they made contact, the spirit's head shattered like a watermelon falling from the sky, and its body disintegrated, turning into a wisp of black smoke that disappeared into the clothes scattered nearby.

As the spirit dissipated, Xiao Ran let out a muffled groan, unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground, crying out.

Holy crap!

Seeing this, Boss Yang cursed again, saying, "Brother Feng, what is that?"

I ignored him and walked to the clothes where the black energy had entered. I used my foot to pry up the scattered clothes, revealing a Buddha amulet with a broken shell.

"Red-eye baby brand!"

Looking at the strange little figure inside the shell—a figure with a single, curved horn on its head, blood-red eyes, and a cross-legged posture—I blurted out.

Xiao Ran flinched when I called out the brand name.

"What do you mean?" President Yang asked as he came over.

"The meaning is very simple!"

As I answered, I took out a red string and tied it to the amulet, saying, "This is a spirit amulet brought from Siam. Its function is..."

At this point, I paused, glanced at President Yang, and said, "Attracting romance, increasing attractiveness to the opposite sex—to put it bluntly, it's specifically for hooking up with rich guys!"

After I finished speaking, General Manager Yang glanced at Xiao Ran and said to Da Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, call Boss Shi and tell him to come and pick them up!"

"Why!"

Da Cheng nodded hurriedly and took out his phone to make a call.

"Brother Feng, when Xiao Cheng mentioned you to me, I thought you were a fraud. Come on, tell me, what was that hand seal you were using just now called? What incantation were you chanting? What's the theoretical basis for it? And what does 'spirit possession' mean?"

After giving Da Cheng his instructions, President Yang transformed into a curious child once again.

I told Mr. Yang that the hand seal I used was called the Ghost-Slaying Seal, the incantation I recited was called the Northern Feng Ghost-Summoning Incantation, and that small seal was the Northern Feng Ghost-Slaying Seal.

As for the theoretical basis, I don't know.

The hand seals I made, the incantations I chanted, and that small seal were all given to me by a Taoist priest. As for why he gave them to me, it's because after he came to me for treatment, he didn't have money to pay his bill, so he used this set of incantations to settle it.

Before settling the debt, he specially wrote a memorial on the family altar and cast a divination using ox horns to seek the ancestors' opinion.

Only after my ancestors had no objections did he pass these down to me, so that I could use that seal.

"How do I regulate my body?"

After I explained, Mr. Yang grasped the key points.

"Mr. Yang, Brother Feng's family has a lineage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and he is most skilled at nourishing the kidney essence!" Da Cheng finished his call and came over to answer Mr. Yang's question, giving him a knowing look that all men would understand.

"Dacheng, you're wrong. My specialty is acupuncture, which I use to treat mental disorders!" I added.

Those who practice the Yin-Yang path are not only physically weak, but also most prone to mental instability.

There's a saying in their line of work: "The body is easy to nourish, but the mind is hard to calm."

It is precisely because of my acupuncture skills that I have been able to make a living in this industry.

"Mental illness?"

Mr. Li, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly asked a question after hearing this.

"It's actually just mental derangement!"

I said.

"Can you cure mental disorders?"

After I said that, Mr. Li gave me a couple of special looks.

"It can be cured!"

I smiled faintly.

Mr. Li smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Brother Feng, come on, tell me more about your line of work!"

Mr. Yang continued.

"Mr. Yang, what do you want to know?"

The world is vast, but the client is paramount. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will speak my mind without reservation.

As for Mr. Yang calling me Brother Feng, I didn't take it seriously. He just called me that casually. If you take it seriously, well, that's just laughable.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Shi has arrived and is downstairs!"

Twenty minutes later, Da Cheng came over and whispered.

"Make him wait!"

Mr. Yang casually remarked, "Brother Feng, we didn't have a good chat today. Let's find a place to talk again sometime, my treat. Oh, and give me your phone number!"

After exchanging phone numbers, General Manager Yang said to Da Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, see Brother Feng downstairs and also tell General Manager Shi to come up!"

After saying that, Mr. Yang glanced at the baby-playing tag wrapped with red string and asked, "Brother Feng, won't there be any problems?"

"Won't!"

I shook my head and said, "I dispersed the spirit inside, so nothing will happen!"

"That's good!" President Yang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Da Cheng, and asked Da Cheng to see me downstairs.

I didn't mention the money; given Mr. Yang's personality, he wouldn't shortchange me.

"Brother Feng, this is a sure thing! If you ever become successful, don't forget your little brother!"

After the elevator doors closed, Da Cheng said in a slightly ingratiating tone.

"I can't forget you!" I said with a smile, patting Dacheng on the shoulder.

The next morning, Dacheng called and asked for my bank card number. Less than five minutes later, 50,000 yuan was deposited into my account.

I've seen money before, but I've never taken on a deal that big before, like 50,000.

As for how Mr. Yang negotiated with Mr. Shi, and how the model named Xiao Ran was dealt with, I didn't ask.

Before my excitement had even subsided, a phone call came in.

I glanced at it; it was a new account number.

"I'm General Manager Li from last night!"

After answering, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.

"Mr. Li?" I was somewhat surprised.

Judging from Mr. Li's attitude towards me last night, he sees me as a swindler and a charlatan. I didn't expect him to call me.

What I never expected was that this phone call would change my fate and drag me completely into the entertainment industry, this big melting pot.

It was this phone call that changed the fate of his daughter, Li Li, the actress who would later be known as the most mysterious and wealthy woman in the entertainment industry, with everyone from directors to actors, from veteran actresses to leading ladies, and even young heartthrobs willing to play supporting roles for her.
