Chapter 293 - Luck Has Been Borrowed
Chapter 293: Luck Has Been Borrowed
There was a construction materials city that spanned tens of thousands of hectares south of the city.
The construction materials here could be said to be world-famous.
Chu Luo stood outside the Jinxin Market, which was so cold and cheerless that it didn’t fit in with the entire construction materials city. She glanced at the other shops that were bustling with activity and walked in.
There weren’t many customers in the market. They were also picky when looking at materials, complaining about this and that, appearing dissatisfied.
The salesperson’s expression wasn’t very good either. He looked barely energetic.
Chu Luo walked up to a salesperson and asked, “Hello. Is your boss around?”
The salesperson was a little surprised to see Chu Luo. “Why are you looking for our boss?”
“I’m from the Imperial University Student Union.”
When the salesperson heard this, he had a strange expression. “Little girl, you’re not here to get sponsorship, are you?”
“Yes.” Chu Luo nodded and admitted, “I want to see your boss.”
When the salespeople standing at the side heard this, they also surrounded her.
Another woman with an S Province accent said, “Sister, you should go to another company to get sponsors. Our boss probably doesn’t have any spare money.”
“That’s right. Sister, why do you want to come to our company to get sponsorship? Look, there are so many companies with customers outside. If you go to those companies and look for their bosses, you will definitely be able to get sponsorship.”
“Also, you’re so beautiful. Why didn’t you ask two boys to accompany you? You’ll be at a disadvantage.”
…
As the salespeople spoke, the customers in the shop left without buying anything.
Chu Luo looked at the entire market. The items inside didn’t look bad.
She asked curiously, “Why are there so few visitors here? Is the price too high?”
Chu Luo was too beautiful. This, coupled with her big, sparkling eyes that looked like they could talk, made the salesperson immediately stunned by her cuteness, and he spoke a little more.
“No. Our company’s products are similar to other companies’ products. If one purchased in bulk, our prices are even more attractive than those of other companies.”
“Then why is no one buying here?”
“We don’t know about that either. It’s like it’s haunted.”
Chu Luo blinked her curious eyes. “Haunted?”
“Haha, I’m just trying to describe what it’s like.”
Chu Luo nodded and said casually, “The shop opposite yours looks like it’s doing well.”
“They’re more than doing well. Their business is simply explosive.”
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and a leather bag walked in. He was on the phone.
The middle-aged man’s hair was a little long. It had probably not been trimmed for a long time. He looked a little listless, and his face was pale. He looked very haggard.
Someone quickly told Chu Luo, “Sister, that’s our Boss Jin.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked up.
“Boss Jin.”
Boss Jin was making a call, but the other party didn’t answer. When he heard someone calling from behind, he subconsciously turned around.
When he saw Chu Luo, he deliberately glanced behind her and asked in an uncertain tone, “Little kid, you called me?”
“Yes.” Chu Luo walked towards him and said directly, “I’m from the Imperial University Student Union. I want to talk to you about getting a donation.”
When Jin Yongfu heard this, his expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he said in a tone that could be considered friendly, “Sorry, I don’t have money to donate.”
“I know,” Chu Luo said. “But I want to talk to you about something else.”
Jin Yongfu frowned slightly. He treated Chu Luo as someone who wouldn’t stop until she got the donation and finally became a little impatient. “Sorry, I don’t have time to talk to you right now.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Chu Luo followed him.
Jin Yongfu walked into the elevator and so did Chu Luo.
Jin Yongfu didn’t expect the young lady in front of him to cling to him. He controlled his frustration. “Little kid, if you want a donation, you might as well go to other shops with a booming business and look for their bosses. I really don’t have any money to donate to you.”
Chu Luo looked at Jin Yongfu and said seriously, “I want only you to donate.”
“You…” Jin Yongfu took a deep breath, but he still couldn’t control his temper. He shouted in a low voice, “Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I said that I don’t have money to donate.”
At this moment, the elevator reached the office floor. Jin Yongfu walked out, and Chu Luo followed.
The moment Jin Yongfu walked out, his secretary walked up to him with a folder. “Boss, H Province is urging us to pay for the raw materials. Boss Chen said that if we don’t transfer the money for the last batch of raw materials, he will terminate our cooperation.”
“Got it. I’ll call Boss Chen personally later to talk to him.”
Boss Jin strode towards the office.
After taking two steps, he said to his secretary, “Send her…” Before he could say the words “send her out,” he suddenly stopped. “Forget it, forget it. Go busy yourself.”
The secretary glanced at Chu Luo and turned around to get busy.
Chu Luo looked at Boss Jin’s back and thought that if this person was willing to provide sponsorship of his own accord, she would help him.
After Boss Jin walked into the office, he looked at Chu Luo, who had followed him in, and said, “Little kid, I said that I don’t have money here. If you don’t believe me, you can sit there and wait. See if I lied to you.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo really sat down and waited. She didn’t rest and quickly sized up this office. She realized that it originally had a treasure-gathering layout, but it was covered by a layer of black aura.
It was obvious that Jin Yongfu’s luck had been borrowed.
Chu Luo couldn’t help but smile when she thought of the booming business opposite his.
Then, Boss Jin made a few calls in a row, sounding fawning and subservient throughout.
Chu Luo didn’t stay idle. She took out her phone and watched a quantum mechanics video taught by a physics professor.
More than an hour later, Boss Jin finished making the calls. When he saw Chu Luo sitting there, he thought that she was watching a video. He stood up and walked over. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze landed on the contents of her phone. Surprise appeared on his face.
Seeing Boss Jin walk over, Chu Luo took off her earpiece and turned off the video. She asked, “Can we talk about the donation now?”
Boss Jin: “…”
Boss Jin was extremely helpless. “Little kid, I made a few calls just now. They were all urging me to pay up, but I don’t have the money to pay them.”
“Can’t you fork out even ten or twenty thousand yuan?”
Boss Jin glared at Chu Luo in frustration.
However, the little girl in front of him looked even younger than his daughter. Moreover, she came out alone to get sponsorship. It was obvious that she had never come into contact with society. Boss Jin couldn’t bear to see her like this.
He thought for a while and asked, “Little kid, can I ask why you must come to my place to get sponsorship?”
“Because I’m preparing to run for President of the Student Union. I need to fulfill this request by the Liaison Minister to get her vote.”
When he heard this, Boss Jin was shocked. The Imperial University students were famous for their talents. The young lady in front of him actually wanted to run for the position of the Student Union president.
While Boss Jin thought that she was biting off more than she could chew, he couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “Ambitious.”
Chu Luo curled her lips and said confidently, “It’s not just ambition. I will definitely get this position.”
Boss Jin was actually infected by Chu Luo’s confidence. After thinking for a while, he felt that helping the young lady in front of him could be considered a form of good karma. He took out the only card with money from his pocket and handed it to her.
“I still have 20,000 yuan on my card. The password is 888888. With your confidence, I plan to support you. I hope that when you come out in the future, you can contribute more to society and our country.”
Chu Luo took his bank card and smiled.
“In return, I plan to help you.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she stood up before Boss Jin’s surprised expression and walked to the window to look at the shop opposite. She said, “You’ve probably asked a master to come and take a look. He said that the Feng Shui here isn’t good, didn’t he?”
“How… how did you know?” Boss Jin was shocked.
Chu Luo curled her lips. “But that Master isn’t skilled. He didn’t change your luck and made you even more unlucky.”
Boss Jin’s eyes widened abruptly. After a while, he said, “No wonder Master left directly afterward. He said that he couldn’t help me and asked me to invite someone else.”
“And did you?”
“No. A Master isn’t someone I can invite just because I want to.”
“That’s right. Do you know why your luck has been deteriorating in the past few years despite your being destined for wealth and riches?”
“Why?”
“Your luck has been borrowed.”
Boss Jin’s body trembled and he asked anxiously, “Are you serious? Who borrowed my luck?”
Chu Luo pointed out the window.
Boss Jin’s expression changed several times. In the end, his face was filled with anger. “No wonder!”
Chu Luo took the bank card that he had given her and said, “If you believe me, change the name of the company to… ‘Cherish Gold.’ Also…”
At this point, she took out a talisman and handed it to him. “Go home and get your wife to sew a brocade pouch made of Tibetan cloth that can be worn on you at any time. Put this talisman inside. After you’ve done these two things, your luck will return.”
Boss Jin looked at the talisman in Chu Luo’s hand with a strange expression and wondered if this young lady was kidding. How could she take out a real talisman so casually?
But another voice in his heart told him: ‘Jin Yongfu, believe her, you’ve met a benefactor.’
Before he could react, he had already carefully taken the talisman. He turned around to get his phone to call his wife. After the call, he took his briefcase.
Jin Yongfu suddenly froze. He gritted his teeth and said to Chu Luo, “Little kid, I won’t entertain you today. I plan to go to the Trade and Commerce Bureau and change my company’s name immediately.”
Chu Luo nodded and reminded him, “Don’t tell anyone before you’ve changed the name. If the other party does anything, you can call me.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked out of the door together. Jin Yongfu gave her a name card as he walked.
The people in the office were shocked to see their boss sending Chu Luo out enthusiastically.
The two of them walked out of the shop. Jin Yongfu looked at the bustling scene opposite him and said, “If my shop is revived, I will donate some money to your Student Union.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo walked towards the car.
Jin Yongfu looked at Chu Luo’s car plate and was surprised.
This place wasn’t far from the city center. Chu Luo’s car was caught in a jam just as she reached the city center.
While she was stuck in traffic, she looked around and realized that many of the billboards belonged to the Blazing Glory Corporation.
At this point, she suddenly wanted to call Li Yan.
She took out her phone and called him.
