Chapter 1896: Opportunities Are Earned
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The middle-aged woman’s argument attracted a lot of attention.
They all wanted to know what had happened.
Seeing that there were more onlookers, the young Daoist priest panicked.
He had just come here to work. It was his daily job to collect tickets here. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Forced into a corner, the young Daoist said,
“You’d better hand over the tickets. Otherwise, I won’t be able to do my job.”
The bespectacled man’s face turned cold as he scolded the middle-aged woman.
“Are you f*cking crazy? Let me tell you, don’t come to such a place if you’ re poor. Don’t make things difficult for yourself. Be careful or I won’t let you stay in Yanjing anymore.”
Seeing the fierce-looking man in gla.s.ses, the middle-aged woman became a
little timid.
“Bro, watch your image. This is a scenic spot,” Lin Yi said.
Seeing that someone had stepped forward, the bespectacled man’s gaze landed on Lin Yi.
“What does it have to do with you? Stinky outsider, get lost. This is Yanjing, not
a place for stinky beggars like you. Get lost!”
“Who are you talking about?!”
Qiao Xin was furious. “You look like a dog, but why don’t you have any manners
when you speak? Didn’t your parents ever tell you what manners are?!”
The bespectacled man’s eyes narrowed. “Let me tell you, be more respectful when you speak. I see that you’re a woman and don’t want to argue with you.
Don’t be shameless.”
“Honey, don’t talk nonsense with them.”
The bespectacled man’s wife walked up and said to the middle-aged woman
and Qiao Xin,
“I’m giving you face, so just accept it. You are outsiders in Yanjing, so behave yourself. This isn’t your home. If you talk nonsense, I’ll slap you!”
With that, the young woman gestured at Qiao Xin, as if she really wanted to hit
her.
Li Chuhan quickly pulled Qiao Xin to his side and shielded her behind her.
Lin Yi’s expression wasn’t very good as he looked at the two of them.
“They say that fish look for fish, prawns look for prawns, and turtles look for
turtles. The two of you are really a perfect match.”
Originally, the bespectacled man thought that he had subdued the two of them and was prepared to go in with his wife to take the tour.
Unexpectedly, the man who was in the way just now stood up again.
“What’s wrong? Are you still not convinced after being scolded a few times?
Why don’t you take a p*ss and look at yourself in the puddle?”
Lin Yi’s expression was calm. “A simple doc.u.ment in your hand, and you re acting so pretentious?”
“That’s right. Are you jealous?” The bespectacled man said arrogantly.
“I’m telling you, I have this ID, which means that I’m awesome and that I’m superior to others. I have an iron rice bowl that I won’t have to worry about income for the rest of my life. Moreover, we live in the second ring of Yanjing and are from this city. Do you have any objections? Even if you don’t like it, you have to endure it.”
“Sure enough, bugs can be found everywhere.”
For a long time, Lin Yi had always liked the people of Yanjing.
However, not everyone here was forthright and magnanimous. The person in front of him was a perfect example of this.
However, this person could be considered a weirdo.
With the current social atmosphere, anyone with a lowly status would keep a low profile. They were afraid of provoking others and losing their jobs.
On the other hand, he had a lousy job but was showing off everywhere.
How did such a brainless person get this job?
” who the f*ck are you talking about? Do you believe that I’ll beat you up?
Just as the bespectacled man was about to attack, Lin Yi kicked him.
He kicked the other party a few meters away.
“Hubby!”
The bespectacled man’s wife ran over and helped him up. “How are you? Are
you alright?”
The bespectacled man held his chest and pointed at Lin Yi fiercely.
“What the f*ck…”
The bespectacled man stopped mid-sentence.
Because he saw the ID in Lin Yi’s hand, the military ID!
When they saw the photo and his position, the man with the gla.s.ses and his wife immediately broke out in cold sweat, as if the sky had collapsed.
This person’s rank was too terrifying.
“You should have checked properly,” Lin Yi said.
“You said you had an iron rice bowl, but that’s gone now. As for who will handle you, I don’t know, but someone will. Just wait for the news. As for the ticket, if you don’t want to buy it, that’s fine. A few hundred yuan is nothing. I can cover it for you as a parting gift.”
The man with gla.s.ses shivered.
“Sir, please calm down. Don’t take it out on me,” the man with gla.s.ses pleaded.
“I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have flaunted my status here. Please give me another chance. I promise I won’t do it again.”
“Opportunities are earned. If you don’t cherish them when you have them, you can’t blame anyone else,” Lin Yi replied.
“Also, I suggest you two leave quickly. Otherwise, the consequences could be
more severe.”
The expressions of the couple with gla.s.ses fell.
They never dreamed they would encounter someone who could ruin their future so thoroughly.
The couple slinked away dejectedly, and the onlookers cheered.
Though they didn’t know Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty, seeing the arrogant couple dealt with was satisfying.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, and the entrance returned to its usual quiet.
After all, the 298 yuan ticket wasn’t cheap, and not everyone was willing to pay
it.
Lin Yi wanted to go in because he was planning to become a Daoist priest and wanted to see what a real Daoist temple looked like.
The three of them bought tickets again, and the young Daoist priest’s att.i.tude improved greatly.
He could not afford to offend such a person. It was better to be polite.
After entering the Daoist temple, they found two rows of rooms.
These were all Daoist priests living in the temple.
Compared to the noisy scenery outside, this place was much quieter.
Not many people came here to visit.
Qiao Xin excitedly pulled Li Chuhan towards the alchemy room in the Daoist temple.
The alchemy room was not big. As soon as he entered, he could smell the smell of Chinese medicine.
In addition, there were many portraits here. These were all pictures of Daoist ancestors, creating a sense of solemnity.
Pa.s.sing the room at the front door, the three of them walked toward the courtyard at the back.
However, before they could step into the courtyard, they heard a familiar voice.
“How much did you sell?”
“I sold it 800.”
“I did 1300.”
“You two are lacking. I sold more than 3,000 yuan worth this morning. If I work hard in the afternoon, I think I can break through the 5,000 yuan barrier.” “Come, come, come. Hurry up and pay the taxes. Each of you must hand over 80%. The rest will be your commission.”
Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin felt a little awkward when they accidentally saw the scene where the people were splitting spoils.
However, after taking a closer look, they realized that the person who spoke was the old Daoist priest who had read their fortune just now!
