Tang Li was in a good mood after getting such a big deal for nothing. She even became amiable to Secretary Si.
âSecretary Si, since youâve worked so hard to collect these documents, do you want me to read your fortune for free?â
Secretary Si pushed his glasses up his nose bridge, thinking about how to reject her. At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold gaze from the CEO. His body instantly trembled. This was obviously threatening him to agree.
Secretary Si lowered his hand and said, âThank you, Madam. That would be great.â
He didnât believe Tang Li could read fortune and intended to nod to whatever she said later.
Looking at his face, she quickly said, âYou were actually born to have a fortunate life, but when you were little, you fell over your head once. Thereâs a small scar on your temple, which is the reason you canât save money. Especially this year, have you or the people around you more or less encountered some bad luck?â
As Tang Li spoke, Secretary Siâs expression became weirder and weirder.
When Tang Li finished, he asked in surprise, âHow does Madam know about this?â
The corners of Tang Liâs lips curled up. âI told you I can read fortunes.â
Secretary Si raised his hand to touch his left temple. There was indeed a small scar there. If one did not look closely, one would not be able to see it. Suddenly, he was awed by her ability. âThen, Madam, what can I do to get rid of bad luck for me and my family?â
âHmmâ¦â Tang Li purposely kept him in suspense and asked,â Youâre still single, right? â
Secretary Si was kind of scared. It was only April, so if he didnât get married as soon as possible, he and his family would be unlucky for the rest of the year.
âThe most direct way to get rid of your bad luck is to marry a woman.â
After a long silence, Secretary Si asked with a straight face, âMadam, how much did my family give you to persuade me to get married? Iâll pay you double.â
Tang Li glanced at him. âDo you think I know your family?â
In the past, Tang Li didnât even bother to get to know Qi Yihanâs relatives, let alone the family of a secretary.
Secretary Si was a little embarrassed. He pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and changed the topic. âWhat will happen if I donât find a woman to marry?â
âYou and your family will continue to be unlucky this year. But after this year, your bad luck will naturally disappear. It doesnât matter if you really donât want to find someone to marry.â
Secretary Si was kind of scared. It was only April, so if he didnât get married as soon as possible, he and his family would be unlucky for the rest of the year.
Secretary Si asked Tang Li sincerely, âMadam, can you tell me where I can get a wife?â
Tang Li was speechless.
Qi Yihan was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Tang Li turned to Qi Yihan and said, âYour secretary doesnât look smart. Does he not know that he needs to look for a girlfriend before he gets a wife?â
Qi Yihan still spoke up for Secretary Si. âOne thing is true. He is capable at work.â
Tang Li nodded and said to Secretary Si, âItâs up to you to believe it or not.â
She then handed the document to Qi Yihan. âPut it in the living room. Iâll go through them when I get back.â
âAlright.â
Looking at the departing figure, Secretary Si called out with mixed feelings, âCEO.â
Qi Yihan withdrew his gaze from the door and all his warmth disappeared. He was that cold CEO again.
âMadam, sheâ¦â
Secretary Si actually wanted to ask Madam if something had happened to her that caused her personality to change drastically. However, seeing how much the CEO cared about Madam, he wisely chose not to ask. When she left, he finally said, âMadam suddenly became very capable.â
Then, he adjusted his glasses and started reporting to Qi Yihan about work.

Tang Li went straight to the villa where Yuan Yuan and the others were staying.
It was still early and Mrs. Meng was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Mrs. Meng was wearing a pair of lantern pants and a short-sleeved T-shirt. Every punch and kick she threw carried absolute power. With that power, she could easily take down most of the ordinary martial artists.
Tang Li did not disturb her. She waited until she finished practicing.
Mrs. Meng stopped and was about to wipe the sweat off her forehead when she saw Tang Li walk in. She quickly greeted her, âDoctor Tang, youâre here.â
Tang Li nodded at her and asked, âIs Yuan Yuan not up yet?â
âSheâs up. I told her to sit in the living room.â
Then, she gestured for Tang Li to come in. âDoctor Tang, please come in.â
The two of them walked in together.
Mrs. Meng made Yuan Yuan sit on an armchair. The sofa was facing the French windows and there was a small garden outside.
The two of them walked to Yuan Yuanâs side. Mrs. Meng tucked a strand of hair that had slipped down Yuan Yuanâs ear behind her ear and asked Tang Li, âYuan Yuanâs father has returned to the border. Doctor Tang, do you want her father to prepare anything there?â
âNo need, you guys should be very familiar with the place where Yuan Yuan was kidnapped. Just ask him to send me the topographic map of that area.â
âThat I know very well. Itâs etched in my mind.â
It was not only the place where Yuan Yuanâs soul was lost but also the place where her parents were persecuted. Back then, she and her husband led a group of people and attacked that area in a crazy manner. At one point, the bandits who were conniving with foreign forces to cause trouble in that area were so scared that they did not dare to appear again for several years.
In terms of familiarity with the terrain of that area, she was definitely one of the best.
âIâll draw the topographic map for Doctor Tang later.â
âSure.â
The two of them talked for a while longer before Tang Li left.
Not long after she took a walk in the villa district, she bumped into Situ Huang, who happened to be looking for her.
When Situ Huang saw Tang Li, he quickly strode over. âMiss Tang.â
Tang Li stopped and asked, âHave you found the herbs? Or something happened to your son again?â
The muscles on Situ Huangâs face twitched twice. He said with a straight face, âNo, I came to ask if itâs alright if my son wants to recover at home.â
âSure.â In any case, she did not have time to treat Situ Jin now. âWhen the time comes, I can go over and treat him.â
Situ Huang heaved a sigh of relief and started talking about finding herbs. âThe herbs Miss Tang gave us are really hard to find. We only found a few, but weâll keep looking for the rest.â
After saying that, he was silent for a moment and said reluctantly, âIf we still canât find those herbs after a month, I hope Doctor Tang can help us find them.â
Tang Li glanced at him. âAre you really willing to spend a million yuan for each herb?â
Situ Huang gritted her teeth. âAs long as you can cure my son.â
The corners of Tang Liâs lips curled up. âAlright.â
Situ Huang didnât know what to say.. This feeling of being treated like a fool by Tang Li and not being able to resist was torture to him.
