chapter 16 something is wrong

by Stephen King 20:18,May 25,2023
At the gate of the White Tooth Pagoda, there were crowds of people, and there were many shops on both sides.
"Shall we take the cable car up or walk?" Susan looked at Chuck Hao.
But Chuck Hao didn't answer her. She turned around and looked at him, and found that Chuck Hao was staring at somewhere far away!
Not far away, on the side of the road, sat two monks, one old and one young.
Both of them were bald, and the old man was wearing a dirty kasaya, while the child was sleeping on the old man's lap, and his saliva was dripping on the old monk's clothes.
The old monk didn't seem to notice it.
In front of him was a piece of cloth with Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches...on which were some Talisman and old yellow books.
There was a pole next to it, and a piece of cloth was hung on the pole. On the cloth were written four big characters "fortune telling for all".
The point was, the cloth was seemingly too old, and the initials of Cang and Cao characters had a faded look.
Suddenly, the little monk swayed, sat up and said, "Master, I'm hungry!"
"I haven’t started operating yet." The old monk said, "Take the bowl and go find something to eat!"
"To beg for food?" the little monk asked.
"How can a monk beg for food!" The old monk said speechlessly, "It’s called alms!"
"They all mean the same thing!" The little monk muttered, and then he picked up a basin on the ground and looked around, as if to see which one he wanted to eat among those food shops.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Chuck Hao was engrossed, Susan asked, "Want to do a fortune telling?"
Chuck Hao smiled and said, "No, I just think it's interesting, let's go in!"
Susan nodded and said, "I've bought the tickets, shall we take the cable car up or walk?"
"I’m fine with both means!" Chuck Hao looked at her and said, "Depends on you!"
"Beauty...and handsome!" At this moment, the old monk suddenly waved at Chuck Hao and Susan.
Chuck Hao looked over suspiciously.
The old monk sat there, smiled slightly and said, "I see that the two of you are not looking good, which is a sign of great danger. Why don't you spend some money to prevent disaster?"
"How much?" Chuck Hao asked.
"The common price is 500 yuan, same price for children and elders, and it can cure illnesses and misfortunes." The old monk said.
Chuck Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it!"
Based on Chuck Hao's view on spending, if he had to do a fortune telling with five hundred yuan, he would rather die!
"Let's go, they are all Jianghu Scammers." Susan said.
Chuck Hao nodded, and the two summitted the tickets and walked towards the scenic spot.
Susan still chose to take the cable car. After buying the tickets, the staff said, "Four people per cable car, and there are already two people before you. Go up now, and you can go straight away!"
"Thank you!" Susan smiled slightly, and then she and Chuck Hao walked into the cable car under the guidance of the staff.
There were two men in the cable car, both wearing sunglasses. When Chuck Hao and Susan walked in and just sat down, a surprised voice sounded, "Susan!"
Susan was taken aback for a moment, then looked up, with a puzzled expression on her face.
At this time, the two men took off their glasses at the same time and said, "It's us, Quincy Qin and Tony Yang."
When Susan saw the two of them, her expression changed slightly, and she felt a little awkward, but because of her politeness, she still smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you two here. Isn't it working hours now? Why are you here?"
The person named Quincy Qin showed a proud smile on his face and said, "My own family business, I can come whenever I want to, and I won’t if I don't want to. It just so happened that Tony Yang came to see me today, so I took him to revisit this old place. I didn't expect to meet you."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chuck Hao, frowned slightly and said, "This is..."
"My friend!" Susan said.
When Chuck Hao heard this introduction, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But Quincy Qin showed a trace of hostility obviously. He looked at Chuck Hao and said, "Hi, I’m Quincy Qin, Susan's college classmate."
He held out a hand.
Chuck Hao reached out and shook his hand.
But he found that Quincy Qin was constantly exerting force, as if he wanted to crush Chuck Hao's bones.
Chuck Hao frowned and looked at him.
With a smile on Quincy Qin’s face, the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger.
At this time, the cable car started moving towards the mountain.
After shaking hands for a long time, Quincy Qin felt that he was about to finish exerting all his energy, but Chuck Hao remained calm.
He silently stared at Chuck Hao before taking his hand back.
"This brother is really blessed. Susan was the prettiest girl of Donghai University. Back then, countless people wanted to invite her to climb this White Elephant Pagoda, but they didn't have a chance. I didn't expect you to have such a chance." As he said, he looked at Susan with resentment and said, "I have been courting you for four years in college, but after graduating, you blocked me on WeChat. I have been sad for a long time!"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Susan's face, she just smiled and said nothing.
But this Quincy Qin continued to look at Chuck Hao and asked, "Susan, where do you work now? How about your salary? Do you want to come to work in my company? Just come and be my secretary, and you don't have to do anything. How about I give you a salary of 100,000 per month?"
Chuck Hao was slightly surprised when he heard this!
He estimated that Susan was very low-key when she was in college, and Quincy Qin didn't know her true identity.
"Sorry, my job is fine now!" Susan said.
Quincy Qin frowned, then looked at Chuck Hao and said, "Which university you graduated from and where do you work now."
Chuck Hao was dumbfounded, then coughed dryly and said, "I didn’t attend university, and now... I'm considered a vagrant!"
When Quincy Qin heard this, he immediately showed a hint of disdain and said, "How about I also offer you a job, work at our company as a security guard, with food and rent included, and a monthly salary of 5,000!"
Chuck Hao was speechless. He felt that this man was somewhat sick.
Chuck Hao knew that this guy must be interested in Susan, and he wanted to show off that his family was rich, so that Susan would like him!
Susan wasn’t attracted to him, and he shifted his target to Chuck Hao, the person who was with Susan.
"No need!" Chuck Hao smiled politely.
Quincy Qin had never-ending things to talk about along the way. Fortunately, the cable car journey was not too long, and it would arrive in a few minutes. As soon as it arrived, Susan quickly pulled Chuck Hao and said, "Come with me to the toilet!"
After that, she pulled Chuck Hao off the cable car.
They head towards the toilet!
From behind, Quincy Qin said with a dark face, "Let’s follow them. Susan never comes out alone with men, the relationship between this fellow and Susan must be absolutely extraordinary!"
