After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 256 - 251: The Yunzhihai Alliance Appears
Chapter 256: Chapter 251: The Yunzhihai Alliance Appears
Ji Tian signaled her to stretch out her hand, and her fingertips rested on his pulse. Because this was somewhat special, it immediately attracted quite a few onlookers.
The client was getting impatient and raised his voice, "Well, can you tell if I’m ill?"
Only then did Ji Tian retract her hand and nodded, asking in English, "Yes, can you understand Chinese?"
The man began to speak in Chinese as he was of Chinese descent, "I can understand. Tell me, what’s wrong with me? I’m in good health. You’re not some quack doctor trying to swindle money, are you?"
Ji Tian smiled faintly, "Listen to me carefully. I suggest you visit a hospital and get a full check-up because a normal pulse should beat four times per breath. It should be smooth, not floating or sinking, supple yet strong, but your pulse is slippery, which indicates there’s a problem in your body."
The man looked at her skeptically, "You’re just saying this. How can I believe you?"
Ji Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Have you been having stomach issues recently, like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and significant weight loss?"
The man hesitated, looking at Ji Tian. He wanted to lie and say no but instead nodded honestly, "A little, but I have a chronic stomach condition. It gets better with some stomach medicine."
Ji Tian continued nodding, "Okay, and have you been having repeated discomfort in the upper abdomen lately, sometimes passing tar-like stools? When this happens, you feel a bit better after taking some stomach medicine and don’t think much of it."
This time, the man was truly surprised and became nervous, "How do you know? I’ve indeed been having frequent stomach issues lately. I haven’t paid it much attention because of work, but I recently started passing black stools, which has had me panicked, though it usually goes away after a few days..."
Ji Tian smiled faintly, "All your symptoms were told to me by your pulse. It could very well be pancreatic cancer. I suggest you go to the hospital for a detailed check-up now and pay the twenty euros."
At the mention of cancer, the man felt his mind go blank. He dropped a twenty-euro note and dashed towards the hospital, as what Ji Tian said was just too accurate.
[Shit, I have those symptoms too, what should I do?]
[Then you better hurry to the hospital. Sweet Sister is a disciple of Li Hongjin! You can do the math on her credibility.]
[Damn, I’m going for a check-up too. I can’t watch this show anymore; it’s scared me to death.]
Perhaps because Ji Tian’s first consultation was too shockingly accurate, several more lined up for diagnosis.
One by one, Ji Tian told them their symptoms, and they all hurried off to the hospital. Within just half an hour, Ji Tian had earned one hundred euros.
Gong Dongxi pinched his own twenty euros and looked at Qin Jiangsheng, "Why aren’t you working?"
Qin Jiangsheng glanced at her and said with a sense of entitlement, "I’m living off my partner."
"..."
At that moment, a foreign man with a worried expression came over, holding a bottle, and asked Ji Tian in English while looking at her sign, "Can you really appraise antiques?"
Ji Tian nodded, "Mhm."
He hesitated before taking out the bottle, "Can you please help me determine if this bottle is authentic?"
As soon as the bottle was placed on the small table, a man clad in a black trench coat had someone bring a box of rocks and set it in front of the stall, "Can you appraise gambling stones? Take a look at this case for me and see if there are any good stones."
The man was Chinese.
Ji Tian sized him up. The man wore sunglasses, had a tall stature, and his full appearance wasn’t clear to Ji Tian. After a glance, she said, "The price of 200 euros is for me to pick out only the best stone for you, but I won’t tell you about any others that might contain jade. Please think it over before placing an order."
The man in black laughed, "Whatever the number, as long as it’s accurate, I’ll pay whatever it costs."
Ji Tian didn’t expect such a big client, but she still had an antique to appraise first.
Qin Jiangsheng reached over, took a glance at the man, and then whispered to Ji Tian, "I’ll handle the antique, you go look at those stones."
Ji Tian was taken aback, "You can appraise this too?"
He smiled slightly, "I can do anything."
If that’s the case, Qin Jiangsheng could appraise the antiques while she would take the stone order.
The two divided the work and cooperated; the man found a chair to sit in front of the crate.
Ji Tian used her "Stone to Gold" Skill, picking up a stone and inspecting it closely. The Skill was really handy, the better the jade inside, the hotter the stone in her hand became.
In a few minutes, Ji Tian had singled out around five stones and set them apart.
The man glanced at them and began to chat with Ji Tian, "Is there a trick to your trade? You seem to verify them quite quickly."
Ji Tian replied nonchalantly, "No trick, just instinct. I’ve always been very accurate with my hunches."
The man chuckled, removed his sunglasses and, though his features were not prominent and didn’t stand out much in a crowd, his eyes held a smiling expression, "I’m Qi Si, what’s your name?"
"Mr. Qi, our relationship is purely transactional; there’s no need for personal feelings," which meant there was no need to get to know each other – it was just a one-time encounter.
Qi Si tilted his head slightly, arms crossed, "I think you’ve misunderstood me. I was thinking if I need to gamble on stones again, I could find you. Could you give me a contact method? The price is negotiable."
"Oh, I see." Ji Tian beamed, "You should have said so earlier. My name is Ji Tian, currently staying at the Gesiyou Hotel, just for two days. Feel free to come to me if there’s any issue."
The man replied with a smile, "Okay."
In total, there were only six good stones, the others either had a little bit or were empty.
These six stones could still fetch some money.
Ji Tian counted, "That’ll be 1,200 euros."
The man paid promptly, handing over 1,200 euros directly to Ji Tian. He stood up, shaking his trench coat, and put on his hat, saying like a gentleman, "Looking forward to our next meeting."
Taking the six good stones, and the remaining basket, he brought along two workers to help carry it.
Gong Dongxi was stunned, feeling the 50 euros in hand suddenly lose their appeal.
1,200 euros!
For her, it wasn’t a substantial amount of money, but in their current situation, they could avoid doing arduous tasks and enjoy themselves in the country of F.
Adding on what Qin Jiangsheng managed, Ji Tian earned 1,400 euros in two hours.
Ji Tian, grinning with money in hand, said to Qin Jiangsheng, "What do you feel like eating tonight? Sister’s treat!"
Happiness is contagious; being with Ji Tian, Qin Jiangsheng almost forgot what hardship was. He only wished that the time he spent with Ji Tian would slow down even more.
He started to smile more, his eyes curving, "I want something sweet, a cake."
"I’ll go buy it for you."
"Okay, go ahead."
The cake shop was just across the street, and because Qin Jiangsheng wanted it, Ji Tian ran over.
After Ji Tian left, Qin Jiangsheng’s smile faded immediately. From the corner of his eye, he watched a man in black on the phone, his gaze fixed on Ji Tian.
His eyes were cold – it really wasn’t peaceful around here. Although he didn’t know why he was targeting Ji Tian, playing these games in front of him was still too amateur.
He was also taken aback.
Why would Qi Si, a member of the Yunzhihai Alliance who had been hidden for twenty years, appear on the streets of the country of F?
