Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Clearly Marked Prices, No Deception to Young or Old

After Mr. Shang Zhenhe’s business prospered, discord began to form between him and his mother, leading to frequent quarrels—minor ones every two days and major ones every three.

His mother fell into depression during the process and eventually passed away from breast cancer.

The next year, Shang Zhenhe married Shen Ruobing.

The following year, they had Shang Shaojing.

As a child, he was unaware of the underlying resentment and conflict, but as he grew older, the truth began to surface.

—Shang Zhenhe had already cheated on his wife with Shen Ruobing.

Not only because she was young and beautiful, but also because she was related to the first noble family of the Capital, the Gu Family.

With this connection, Shang Zhenhe easily blended into the high society of the Capital, further detesting his own mother.

After learning the truth, he found the entire Shang family despicable.

Still, to maintain appearances, he had to feign cordiality.

However, the underlying hatred and oppression were not something time could erode.

He wanted nothing more than to see the downfall of the Shang family, especially when Jiang Li began to disdain him as well, making him feel like he had found someone who truly understood him.

Upon hearing Shang Shaobai’s story, everyone in the live stream was ablaze with the spirit of gossip.

[At this moment, I have to exclaim: the industry is truly messy.]

[Indeed, men transform for the worse once they get rich.]

[I feel sorry for Young Master Tang, if you don’t get revenge, even I feel indignant for you—your mother was clearly wronged by the other woman!]

[Support Brother Tang in his revenge! That mother and son are disgustingly vile, and your father isn’t any better.]

Jiang Li watched the continuously scrolling comments for a while without saying anything, and finally spoke softly—

"Never harbor malintent, always act with conscience."

However, her words carried another meaning.

—As long as one’s conscience can stoop low enough, then any act of revenge could be justified under permissible conditions.

Clearly, Shang Shaobai understood her implied message and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke:

"Can the master help me look into my recent fortunes?"

Jiang Li said, "Your Life Plate shows the Seven Killings in the day branch, which opposes the Sun and signifies near constant attacks from the Seven Killings because it sits closely to the Sun, rendering you powerless and constantly trapping you in adversity. From the hexagrams, this Seven Killings represents a relative close to you."

"But having the Seven Killings in your day position isn’t entirely bad; it indicates that you have a deep determination and strong sense of responsibility in your career, emboldening you to strive for excellence. However, the stronger your determination and success, the worse the environment you find yourself in, and in the long run, it’ll wear you down."

"My advice is to not dwell too much on the specifics, learn to let things go, and when you’re free, perhaps travel a little to relax both body and mind."

Shang Shaobai smiled, "Thanks for the enlightenment, I’ll keep that in mind."

Saying this, he sent a Dream Castle in the live stream.

"Thank you, sir," Jiang Li smiled. "That’s all for today’s live stream, see you next time if fate allows."

The viewers in the live stream hadn’t expected Jiang Li to sign off so decisively, and they began to lament.

[Wait, it’s over just like that? I was just getting into it.]

[Pleading for you to live stream daily, isn’t this more interesting than a TV drama?]

[Sister, don’t go, sis, I haven’t had enough yet.]

But the live stream went dark without mercy the next second.

Jiang Li calculated that she had made over twenty million from this session, and after giving a share to the platform, she still had over eighteen million left.

Quite worthwhile, indeed.

After ending the live stream, she turned around, picked up her pajamas, and went to the restroom.

After washing up, she discovered a new private message in her Weibo inbox.

It was from "775648" —

"Hello, could we chat?"

Jiang Li wasn’t surprised at all and promptly sent her WeChat ID over, "Add me."

Soon, the person added her, and the greeting was simple, just a "Hello."

Jiang Li didn’t beat around the bush and directly exposed him.

"Hello Mr. Shang, what brings you here?"

Seeing the message, Shang Shaobai was taken aback for a moment, it took him a while before he typed a line in the chat.

"You know who I am?"

Jiang Li: "I have seen Shang Shaojing’s Four Pillars of Destiny, the moment you gave me your birth data, I figured out who you were."

Shang Shaobai fell silent again, but his respect for Jiang Li grew.

Astrological readings to such an extent certainly placed Jiang Li beyond ordinary comprehension.

"Then you also know why I came looking for you?"

"Know, you want to counteract misfortune, correct?"

"Correct," Shang Shaobai simply got to the point, things that couldn’t be spoken in the live stream could be freely discussed between their phones, "I want to bring down Shang Shaojing, but clearly, I can’t do it alone."

Shang Zhen and Shang Shaojing controlled almost all the company’s shares, with only a few being grasped by him due to Shang Zhenhe’s recent negligence.

But recently, there seemed to be issues on the Gu family’s side, causing Shang Zhenhe and Shang Shaojing to team up again, rendering his prior efforts almost wasted.

Jiang Li was right; the environment around him was indeed becoming increasingly hostile.

Very soon came the reply.

"I’m sorry, this is a matter internal to your family, and I prefer not to get too involved. But since you’ve already paid the fortune-telling fee, I can indeed show you a clear path."

Shang Shaobai’s eyes lit up, just about to delve deeper when he saw another message from Jiang Li.

"Plain and fair, five million."

Shang Shaobai: "...."

Is she really from the Xuan Sect?

Shang Shaobai: "Miss Jiang sure doesn’t mince words."

Jiang Li: "Rest assured, I am very straightforward. As long as the benefit is right, I won’t let you down."

Shang Shaobai chuckled.

He couldn’t quite imagine someone who seemed so detached and indifferent speaking such worldly words.

But likewise, he was intrigued by her promise to "not let him down."

Shang Shaobai then transferred five million to Jiang Li’s account.

Immediately, a "Thank you, boss" emoticon was sent.

Followed by a flurry of messages—

"....the plan for season two of ’Shining Transformation Trip’ is out, try convincing Shang Shaojing to secure the planning case and copyright."

Shang Shaobai frowned.

"Are you really helping me, or..."

As part of the entertainment industry investment, he was naturally aware of ’Shining Transformation Trip,’ which had transformed Star Media from a wobbling small company into a sizzling media giant set to go public. The commercial value of the IP alone was immeasurable.

Urging Shang Shaojing to compete over it now, wasn’t he essentially feeding his rival?
