Luo Ning did not beat around the bush.
"I want to change my agent."
Fu Ci was stunned. "It's that simple?"
"It might be simple for you, but it's not simple for me. My agent is Yan Qiuping," Luo Ning said.
Fu Ci knew Yan Qiuping; he was a top-tier agent in the company. Especially after he started managing Ji Xingheng, his resources had become increasingly better. It was indeed not easy for an artist under him to change agents without his consent.
"Fine. If this talisman is useful, I will help you change your agent. If it's useless, then you should prepare yourself to retire from the industry," he said straightforwardly.
"No problem." Luo Ning was just about to leave when she noticed a change in Fu Ci's physiognomy.
She spoke up: "President Fu, there is a layer of cyan appearing at the tail of your eyebrows. Something is about to happen to your younger sister."
Hearing her say this, Fu Ci frowned in displeasure. "Even if you want me to do you a favor, don't curse my sister."
He didn't believe a word Luo Ning said, and was even more displeased because of it; he even felt like throwing away the talisman she had given him.
"Your family should be calling you very soon," Luo Ning said as she stood up. "The talisman I gave you just now can help her. Remember to give it a try."
When it came to Feng Shui and metaphysical arts, those who believed would be convinced with just a hint, while those who didn't wouldn't be swayed even if one talked until their mouth went dry. She couldn't be bothered to nag any further.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye!" She pulled the door open and left.
By the time Secretary Wei came in after brewing tea, Luo Ning had already gone.
"President Fu, do you have any instructions?" Seeing President Fu's deeply furrowed brows, Secretary Wei felt a bit of regret for agreeing to help Luo Ning bring the note in earlier.
Fu Ci trusted his secretary very much, and the latter also knew about his sister's situation, so he gave a rough account of what Luo Ning had just said.
Secretary Wei was also skeptical. "Luo Ning is so young; things like physiognomy are probably just made up."
In his perception, powerful Feng Shui masters should all be old men with a sage-like appearance. No matter how he looked at it, Luo Ning didn't seem like someone proficient in this.
Fu Ci agreed. "It seems she's just another woman trying to attract attention."
After saying this, he took the talisman out of his pocket and threw it into the trash can. He didn't intend to try it either, feeling it was very unreliable.
Just then, his phone rang.
After answering and listening to his mother's words, his expression changed. "What? Weiwei fell down the stairs? Is she okay?"
"I'll rush to the hospital immediately." After hanging up, his face was full of shock.
He really didn't expect that Luo Ning had actually been right. This was too mysterious.
His sister had just accidentally fallen down the stairs and was currently being sent to the hospital, so it was impossible for Luo Ning to have heard the news in advance.
Secretary Wei was also stunned. "Could it be that Luo Ning really knows how to read physiognomy?"
This was truly hard to believe.
Fu Ci immediately retrieved the talisman from the trash can and carefully put it in his pocket. "I'm going to the hospital. You look into the matter between Luo Ning and Yan Qiuping."
Secretary Wei nodded: "Understood!"
When Fu Ci arrived at the hospital, Fu Wei was in the operating room, and his parents were already waiting outside.
After waiting for about half an hour, the door to the operating room opened.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Mother Fu asked anxiously.
The doctor replied: "Her leg is broken. We have already performed surgery, and she will need to recuperate for a period of time."
"Miss Fu is still unconscious, but she should wake up very soon." This was the Fu family's private hospital, so the doctor's attitude was very good.
The three members of the Fu family breathed a sigh of relief and followed her back to the ward.
Looking at his sister's pale face and frail body, Fu Ci felt a pang of heartache.
After thinking for a moment, he took the talisman out of his pocket and tucked it into the pocket of Fu Wei's hospital gown.
Mother Fu and Father Fu were a bit confused at the sight. "What are you doing?"
Fu Ci didn't hide anything and recounted what had happened in the office.
Father Fu frowned. "Is it really that magical? Could it be a coincidence? Or does she have some ulterior motive?"
As a businessman, he couldn't help but think in other directions.
Mother Fu, however, thought very simply. "How could there be so many coincidences? Didn't you hear our son say that when Weiwei fell down the stairs, that Luo Ning had already left his office? It's impossible for her to have known in advance. She must have seen it."
Her daughter had suffered so much; she would rather believe it was true than risk it being false.
"Besides, A-Ci has already given the talisman to Weiwei. We'll know soon enough if it's useful." Naturally, she hoped it would be.
Hearing her say this, Father Fu sighed. "I hope this talisman is truly useful."
He, too, hoped that the female celebrity really had the ability to help his daughter.
During their conversation, the previously unconscious Fu Wei slowly woke up. She looked at the three of them apologetically. "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, I've made you worry again."
Starting three years ago, her health had been getting worse and worse, and it was as if she had run into some bad luck; she frequently encountered various accidents, both big and small. Because of this, she didn't dare to go out much anymore.
Today, she had originally just gone downstairs to get some fruit, but who knew she would slip and fall.
There was clearly no water on the stairs, and her shoes were non-slip, yet an accident had happened anyway.
Mother Fu asked with concern: "Does your leg hurt? Do you feel any changes in your body?"
Now that she mentioned it, Fu Wei actually felt that her whole body felt much more comfortable. "I feel that my body isn't as cold as it usually is. I've been feeling groggy for the past two days, but now my mind is very clear."
Mother Fu's eyes lit up. "The effect of that talisman is just too good."
Father Fu and Fu Ci were also startled. This was too exaggerated; could the effect of a talisman really be that good and act so quickly?
"Could it just be that Weiwei is in a better state today? Or perhaps it's a psychological effect?" Father Fu still found it hard to believe.
Mother Fu rolled her eyes at him. "We didn't even tell Weiwei that she had a talisman on her, so how could it be a psychological effect? It must be that the talisman is really working."
Fu Wei was a bit confused. "What talisman?"
Fu Ci explained it to her, then thought for a moment and said: "How about we take the talisman away first and see how you feel?"
Fu Wei didn't expect her big brother to actually get into feudal superstition, but it did seem to be somewhat useful, and she also wanted to know if it was a psychological effect or caused by the talisman.
So, she took the talisman out of her pocket and placed it on the table nearby.
Then, the family started chatting. After a few minutes, Fu Wei's head began to feel that same groggy sensation as before, and her body even started to feel waves of cold.
"I feel unwell!" she said to her family while hugging her arms.
Mother Fu noticed that her daughter's face had turned even paler and immediately stuffed the talisman from the table back into her hospital gown pocket. "Try it again."
About ten minutes later, Fu Wei widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "This talisman is truly divine. I feel less cold, and my mind is clear again."
This time, Father Fu and Fu Ci had to believe it, as they had watched Fu Wei's complexion visibly improve after using the talisman.
Fu Ci didn't hesitate to take out his phone and call Luo Ning, asking her to come to the hospital.
The other three members of the Fu family did not object; in fact, they couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Fu Wei had just finished surgery, and her body was already weak, so she soon fell asleep.
Fu Ci looked at his watch and, seeing that there was still some time before his appointment with Luo Ning, went to another VIP ward upstairs to visit his friend who had been in a car accident again.
In the ward, Lu Xun was half-lying against the head of the bed, fiddling with a talisman. Hearing the knock, he quickly stuffed the talisman back into his clothes.
