The Consequence of Judging Others by Appearance

that she had no other siblings.
Her lifeless heart started to beat again and the scene of her mother crying while looking for her reappeared in her mind.

Every time she thought of this, she could barely breathe.
She couldn’t face her parents.

Regardless of whether it’s true or not, she should secretly visit them.
What if… what this young man said was true? She suddenly stood up and said, “Master, thank you for waking me up, thank you!” 

Seeing that she was about to leave, Qi Yan quickly stopped her, “Wait.”

Dear Readers.
Scrapers have recently been devasting our views.
At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might…let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
If you are reading on a scraper site.
Please don't.

The woman turned her head in confusion, not knowing what the young man still had to say to her.

“I’ve accepted your money.” Qi Yan took out three thousand yuan and a business card from his wallet and handed it to the woman, “I’ll lend you two thousand yuan, and when you have a successful career, remember to pay me back double.”

The woman looked at the young man in shock.
How did he know that she had no money on her? Could it be that she really met a real fortune-teller?

“Take it,” Qi Yan put the money into the woman’s hand, picked up the stool and the bag of snacks, and said to the woman with a smile, “Goodbye, see you if I see you.”

“Wait!” The woman felt that she couldn’t accept the money just like that, but the young man walked very fast.
Then, he got into a car and drove away.

With this money, she bought a train ticket.
Back then when she first came to the Capital City, it was a crowded train, but now it was a fast and beautiful train.
The journey that used to take several days was completed in one day.

Stepping on to the station that looked unfamiliar, she walked out of the gate blankly, listening to the familiar local accent.
When she passed the bulletin board at the station and saw a missing person notice, she couldn’t help but crouch in front of the bulletin board and wept.

The announcement seemed to have just been posted.
There was a photo of her wearing a school uniform from ten years ago, but the description in it was the way she dressed when she left.

She had long forgotten what kind of clothes and shoes she wore when she left ten years ago, but her parents still remembered and they were still looking for her every day.
They didn’t know that their unfilial daughter was afraid that they would find her, so she asked someone to make a false ID.

“Miss, what’s wrong?”

“Don’t cry.
We’ll go to the police station if something has happened.”

“Yes, exactly.”

Although this station looked unfamiliar, the folks here were still warm as she remembered them to be.
Looking at the concerned eyes around her, she slowly stood up.
Her desolate heart seemed to have found a foothold.

“Hooo…” Qi Yan blew on the hot chicken soup in the bowl, transferred 500 yuan to a charity and drank the delicious chicken soup.
He raised his brows proudly.
His soup cooking skills were getting better and better, but it’s a pity that he couldn’t use this skill to make a living.

The phone kept ringing, Qi Yan was too lazy to pick up the phone, so he turned on the loudspeaker, and Wang Hang’s voice was heard.

“Qian Qian!”

“Yeah?” Qi Yan was very calm, in stark contrast to Wang Hang’s excitement.

“You are so close with Fifth Master Cen!!” Wang Hang was almost shouting, “Are we not friends anymore? You don’t tell me about such important things.”

“Don’t you know that being low-key is one of my many positive traits?” 

“Shameless.”

Qi Yan sneered, and then explained, “There is actually nothing to say, if I tell you, it will look like I’m showing off to you.
Besides, whether I and Baihe are friends or not, you are still my close friend.”

“I know you have a sweet mouth,” Wang Hang snorted on the other end of the phone, but he also understood what Qi Yan meant and didn’t keep asking about it, “You know, Lao’er has a girlfriend.
He invited us to dinner tomorrow to meet up.” 

“Isn’t he doing research at school? How did he find the time to get a girlfriend?” Qi Yan put down his bowl, “I can’t believe he’s the first one among us to be taken.”

“Life is unpredictable.
We the bachelors can only watch in envy.” Wang Hang’s voice was a little anxious, “I got to go now, I’m working on a proposal, I will try to finish it today so I have time for you guys tomorrow.”

After he hung up, Qi Yan shrugged and continued to drink the chicken soup.
However, the phone rang again before he could swallow.
This time it was Lao’er.
He basically told him the same thing and invited him to dinner tomorrow.

Qi Yan agreed immediately, he also teased him a little.

After they hung up Qi Yan finished his soup and didn’t feel as lonely as a single person.
He took the bowl to the kitchen and cleaned up the kitchen.

Before returning to the computer, he saw a missed call from Cen Baihe.
He wiped the water on his hands, and called Cen Baihe back.

As soon as the call was made, Cen Baihe picked up the phone.

“Qian Qian.”

“Baihe, what’s up? I was cleaning the kitchen and didn’t hear the phone ring.”

“There is one thing I want to ask you,” Cen Baihe chuckled lightly, “It’s not convenient to talk on the phone, I’ll come and pick you up later, and we’ll have dinner together in the evening.”

Qi Yan glanced at the time, it was three or four o’clock in the afternoon, “Okay, but I had a late lunch, so let’s not go to Qianweiju.” It would be a pity if he couldn’t finish the food.

“Why did you eat so late?” Cen Baihe said with concern.
Even through the phone, Qi Yan could feel the concern.
He smiled and said, “It’s the first fortune-telling of the month.
So I waited until noon and came back a little late.”

“In the future, you should pay more attention to your health.
Telling fortune is fine, but your health is more important.”

“Fortune-telling depends on fate,” Qi Yan said softly, “Besides, a life is more important than a meal.”

“What?”

“Nothing, I’ll go take a nap.
Call me in advance before you come later, so I can get up in time.”

“Okay.” Cen Baihe waited for Qi Yan to hang up, raised his head and said to Liang Feng, who was waiting beside him, “Who is here?”

“Mr.
Meng, CEO of Qianfei Technology,” Liang Feng added, “He made an appointment before.”

“Okay, I’ll go over now.” Cen Baihe walked out in a good mood, Liang Feng followed behind and closed the office door.

Qianfei Technology was a new company that was only founded two years ago.
Recently, they had a lot of publicity and became quite famous.
Cen Baihe did not expect the CEO of this company to be a young man under thirty years old.

After the polite exchange between the two, the young man named Meng Xuan talked about the new software of his company.
He was very confident that they would make a good profit if Cen Baihe decided to invest in them.

After Cen Baihe looked at the proposal, he said calmly, “I will consider it.”

There were no visible emotions on Meng Xuan’s face.
The two only talked for half an hour, he didn’t want to appear too eager, so he hid his anxiety.
“I look forward to hearing good news from you.”

Cen Baihe took a sip from the cup, “You are young and promising, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future.”

“But the opportunity to cooperate with you is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Meng Xuan took the opportunity to flatter him, “Many people in the industry are looking forward to working with you, and I am no exception.”

“You’re too kind.
I am just a businessman, I’m not that popular.” Cen Baihe glanced at his watch, “It’s late now, I have something else to do.
I hope you don’t mind.”

Meng Xuan immediately stood up and said, “I’ve disturbed you enough today, I should go too.
Goodbye.”

“This way, please.” Liang Feng shook hands with Meng Xuan and took him out of the room.

Cen Baihe sat on the sofa with a calm expression, waiting for Liang Feng to return from seeing off the guest, “In the future, there is no need to consider cooperating with this person.”

Liang Feng paused a while and said, “Understood.”

“Do you know why?”

Liang Feng nodded.

“The proposal is bad.”

Cen Baihe took a sip of tea and said, “More importantly, the name of the company is not good.”

Liang Feng: ??
