The fortune-telling hall has one hundred and twenty-seven disciples and is composed of three departments.
They are: sitting in the hall, walking in the hall, and waiting in the hall.
Among them, there are thirty disciples in the hall, who are fortune tellers who guard the headquarters building.
There are fifty disciples in the outpatient department, who provide door-to-door fortune telling services for customers who do not have time to come to the headquarters for fortune telling.
The forty-seven disciples of the Waiting Hall Department, as the name suggests, stay at the entrance of the hall and are ready to go wherever needed.
It is said to be on call at any time, but it will certainly not leave you idle. There will be a lot of chores to do, and you will be so busy that you will be dizzy and unable to find where to go.
I've just seen this.
Of course, only the disciples of the Zuotang Department and the Walking Hall Department are true fortune tellers and the Huang Lingshi realm.
Most of the disciples in the waiting department are like me, either with little knowledge or no "practical experience".
In addition, there are three directors of the fortune-telling hall, each with less power than the director Ma Shan, each in charge of one department.
For example, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhu who took me around was the head of the waiting department, and his only name was Xian.
Zhu Xian was very polite. I don’t know if it was an illusion or something, but I always felt that he was trying to show his kindness to me.
"How is it? How do you feel about the fortune-telling hall?"
After walking around, Zhu Xian asked me with a smile on his face: "Is it more complicated than you think?"
I replied honestly: "There are many people, many rules, and many things to do. It's really not easy."
"It is relatively easy for the disciples who are sitting in the hall and the disciples who are walking in the hall. The most tiring are the disciples who are waiting for the hall."
"A brick of the revolution, moved here and there, is comparable to a handyman in the logistics hall."
Zhu Xian nodded and said, "That's right, so I am very busy every day, my disciples are tired, and it is even more difficult for me, who is in charge, to relax."
"And you, if nothing else happens, will be sent to the waiting room."
"New disciples all start here."
My heart moved, and I sincerely asked for advice: "Master Zhu, I wonder what I can do in the waiting department?"
Zhu Xianpo gave me a meaningful look, led me to the floor-to-ceiling windows where no one was disturbed, looked out at the bustling streets with busy traffic, and said: "There are three types of errands in the waiting department. The first type is pure odd jobs.
"
"I serve tea and water to the old disciples, go to the warehouse in the hall to clean the shelves, sort out materials, and run errands."
"The second option is to accompany the apprentices to tell their fortunes, help them carry their bags, and wait on them from behind."
"The third type is to assist the disciples sitting in the hall, listen in, be responsible for recording the special needs of the guests, or provide some other assistance."
"New disciples usually don't have much to choose from. They have to start with chores."
Zhu Xian said in a playful tone: "If you have completed the chores for three months and performed well, I will recommend you to help the disciples who are sitting in the hall."
"If I don't like you, I can only do odd jobs."
"I have a disciple here who has been doing odd jobs for two years and has learned nothing."
"When I came here, I was half-full, and now I am still half-full. I am too restless to be a real Huang Lingshi."
Zhu Xian's words can be said to be very blunt. If I still don't understand, I'd be a fool.
The leader of a department holds the "power of life and death" over his disciples.
Whether he is wasting his time doing chores or simply learning from his disciples' experience depends entirely on his words.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly figure out how to hook up with Zhu Xian.
Should I invite him to dinner in the evening and give him a small gift along the way, or should I express my feelings now?
I "borrowed" two million from Pei Chuan, plus the two or three hundred thousand in my bank card, it should be enough to manage the relationship up and down.
I'm just afraid that Zhu Xian won't accept it and the atmosphere will be awkward.
"Jingle Bell."
Just when I was worrying about "giving gifts", Zhu Xian's cell phone rang.
He lowered his head and looked at the screen, slightly away from me, and then listened attentively.
After about four or five minutes, Zhu Xian finished the call.
