Genius Agent

Chapter 55 Opportunity Awaits

"Editor-in-Chief Su, please have a seat."

Shen Mozhou pulled out a chair and let Su Yuncheng sit opposite the section chief, who then looked at Su Yuncheng with great interest.

She is indeed very young and good-looking.

"Who is this?"

Su Yuncheng asked the question knowingly. The other party was very curious about him, with a hint of appreciation and expectation in his curiosity. What was he expecting?

"My surname is Dai. I heard that you are a disciple of a famous master in divination, so I came here specifically to ask you to tell my fortune."

The section chief spoke up, and Shen Mozhou's eyelids twitched. Did he really come to have his fortune told by Su Yuncheng?

Su Yuncheng showed some surprise and immediately replied, "So it's Boss Dai. I've heard so much about you."

The other party did not directly reveal his identity, but he mentioned that his surname was Dai and that he could command Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng. If Su Yuncheng could not guess his identity, then he was just pretending to be stupid.

However, Su Yuncheng was genuinely surprised. Like Shen Mozhou, he hadn't expected this person to travel all this way to actually have his fortune told.

"Boss Dai?"

The section chief paused for a moment, then smiled. He liked the title.

"I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you Yuncheng. Yuncheng, how do you want to calculate it?"

The section chief asked softly, and Su Yuncheng immediately retorted, "How do you intend to calculate this?"

"How was the fortune telling?" The magistrate asked Su Yuncheng with great interest.

"Yes, please go ahead." Su Yuncheng nodded slightly.

The clerk casually dipped his hand in the tea beside him and wrote the character "Spring" on the table.

Su Yuncheng looked at the word, his smile widening.

"What do you mean?" Seeing that Su Yuncheng did not speak, the section chief took the initiative to ask.

Su Yuncheng raised his head and pointed to the bottom of the character "Spring": "Spring is below the sun. You wrote it at an angle, and the characters are unstable. It seems that you did not have an stable early life and experienced many ups and downs. The character 'Spring' has a 'Yamato' (大和人) on it, which means that you have gained the appreciation of an important figure and your future is bright."

Su Yuncheng said calmly, "Feng shui and physiognomy are not entirely useless; they do have many practical applications."

However, Su Yuncheng was not as skilled as his grandfather, but he still had no problem with simple character divination.

"Is there anything else?"

Many people already know what Su Yuncheng said, and as for the future, he also believes that his future is bright.

"That depends on what you're thinking."

Su Yuncheng asked again, and the section chief thought for a moment before replying, "You just said the future is bright, so let's say that's my future prospects."

"Spring is the first of the four seasons, which foretells that you will be the head of the phoenix in the future. As the sun rises above you, you will have great power in the future."

Su Yuncheng continued, while the magistrate smiled and shook his head. He wanted to see Su Yuncheng's real skills, not the flattering rhetoric of street fortune tellers.

"To have more power, I must do more practical things. I want tangible results now. How can I achieve that?"

"Boss Dai, I'm just doing a fortune telling for you; I'm not omnipotent and can't directly give you everything you want."

Su Yuncheng shook his head as well, while the section chief paused slightly, then smiled even more broadly: "Alright then, tell me, what can I do next to do better?"

How can we do it better?

Su Yuncheng's heart stirred slightly. The Special Service Department had counter-espionage responsibilities. Just yesterday, he was thinking of handing Xiao Wei over to the Special Service Department, and this director came to ask about it.

"Please write one more character."

The magistrate didn't speak, but dipped his finger in tea and wrote another character, "德" (virtue).

This is a very common character in character divination.

Su Yuncheng glanced at it, chuckled, and replied, "The character '德' (de) has '心' (xin, meaning heart), which means the opportunity for what you desire is coming soon."

"When will you arrive?" The sergeant's eyes lit up slightly. Was there any hope for him to get the warship deal done?

"As the ancients said, 'One should fear authority and cherish virtue.' Today, you are at Weiyu Tea House, and you are destined to be with authority. Today, your wish will be fulfilled."

Su Yuncheng said calmly. The magistrate looked at him, somewhat surprised that he could succeed today.

"What should I do?" the director asked again.

"Left is the greatest. Now, go out and turn left. The character '德' (virtue) has the radical '十' (ten). Walk for ten minutes and turn west at the crossroads. Go into the place with the character '威' (power). Your opportunity is there. Note that '威' is where your opportunity lies."

Su Yuncheng said softly, "Ten minutes to the left is Xiafei Road, and a short distance to the west is the Luowei Hotel."

Once they get inside, it won't be difficult for them to become suspicious of Xiao Wei and discover his true identity.

If he can't even do this much, this section chief doesn't deserve to have a book dedicated to his life.

"Okay, I'll go now."

The magistrate stood up and had Shen Mozhou give Su Yuncheng fifty silver dollars as a fortune-telling fee.

Fifty silver dollars is not a small amount. He hasn't verified it yet. If Su Yuncheng really lets him have his way, it would be worth any amount of money.

"Thank you, Boss Dai."

Su Yuncheng took the money; the fifty silver dollars he had given the fried dough sticks earlier were back.

"Let's go."

The Director was decisive and efficient. After consulting with Su Yuncheng, he left immediately. Shen Mozhou glanced at Su Yuncheng and followed the Director away.

He hadn't expected that Su Yuncheng would speak so definitively when he told the clerk's fortune.

If we can't find any opportunities today, wouldn't that prove Su Yuncheng miscalculated?

That would definitely affect Su Yuncheng's impression in the Director's mind, and whether Su Yuncheng can be developed in the future is unknown.

Upon exiting the building, the official did not take a car but walked directly.

Su Yuncheng said to walk, so taking a car would be the same as not following Su Yuncheng's instructions. If it doesn't work out, he can't blame Su Yuncheng.

I walked quickly; it wasn't far anyway.

Ten minutes later, the magistrate arrived at Avenue Joffre and turned west.

"Sir, the Lowell Hotel."

Not far away, Secretary Qi whispered, and the Director immediately looked at the sign of the Luowei Hotel.

The sign is in French and Chinese; the Chinese characters are simply "Luo Wei".

The Loewe Hotel has many Chinese guests. The owner is Italian, but he doesn't have the arrogance of the French. He has set up several signs, including one in Chinese.

His goal is to make money; as long as he can make money, that's all that matters.

"Go in."

The director entered the hotel with Secretary Qi and two bodyguards, and Xiao Wei immediately came to greet him.

Su Yuncheng had investigated Xiao Wei before and knew his work hours. Xiao Wei was at work today, and he would definitely be there at this time unless something unexpected happened.

Su Yuncheng will confirm the situation this afternoon. If anything unexpected happens, he has other ways to guide Xiao Wei to the Special Service Department.

"Are any of you with appointments?"

Xiao Wei asked in Chinese first, and was immediately stunned when he saw the director's appearance, but he reacted quickly and returned to normal.

His brief change in expression did not escape Secretary Qi's notice.

Secretary Qi had been paying close attention to his surroundings. He was also very curious about Su Yuncheng's fortune-telling and wanted to know where the chance for the Director lay. He hadn't missed a single detail since he came in.

The waiter's performance was problematic.

He looked as if he had seen someone who shocked him, someone he knew, like the Chief.

The Director did indeed live in Shanghai before, but he rarely comes here, and he hasn't been to this restaurant in recent years.

"no."

The section chief shook his head directly, while Xiao Wei smiled and lowered his head: "We can't use a private room without a reservation. Would you like to stay in the lobby?"
