Chapter 486: Not Enough Liars Anymore
After the brief meeting, Jiang Cha returned to the finance department and went to work as usual. Jiang Qi looked at the time and found that the crystal ball divination class was over. He went to Wang Shiliang's office to ask him if he would like to appear in the promotional video.
A few days ago, Wang Shiliang was an unknown Master Wang in Xuncheng. He had a special profession. Appearing on the camera was the icing on the cake. If he didn't want to be recognized by his previous clients, it was understandable that he would refuse to appear on the scene.
Jiang Qi knocked twice at the door of Wang Shiliang's office, but no one responded. He knocked twice more, and the words "No one in the room" appeared on the door sign.
Could it be that he is procrastinating?
The crystal ball divination class is really different from other classes. It will be finished after the other classes, so it is impossible to drag the class. The crystal ball divination class requires the teaching assistant to explain their divination situation to the students one by one. If someone's pattern is more complicated, or if a student asks a few more questions, it is possible to drag the class.
Not to mention that the school is now full of amusement park employees. In order to flatter their bosses, the crystal ball divination class is full, making it look like a popular elective course.
"It seems that once it opens, the number of people in each class of this crystal ball divination class will have to be lowered. Tourists will definitely ask a lot out of curiosity. If there are too many people, the class will not be able to be completed in one and a half hours. Originally, It’s only half an hour of extra time, but we can’t add more.” Jiang Qi murmured.
The crystal ball divination class is a VIP elective class, and Assistant Professor Wang provides one-on-one service on site.
"Is it better to have 35 people or 30 people?" Jiang Qi pondered in his mind and walked along the stairs to the third floor.
The elf gardening class on the second floor has ended, and Liao Min is cleaning the branches and leaves on the ground. In fact, this kind of work does not need to be done by the teacher himself. Jiang Qi explained to the outside world that there is a special cleaner at night, which is actually a boast about cleaning.
Although the Magic Academy is large, the amount of garbage generated in the castle's public areas is actually very small. Things like paper towels and mineral water bottles are basically impossible to appear in public areas.
There is no way these things would appear in the Magic Academy.
Currently there are only employees in the school, and Kua Kua is still able to handle the cleaning of the entire school. When the number of visitors increases when the school is open for business, it will be difficult for a single goblin to clean the entire school, so professional cleaners will be needed.
"Teacher Liao." Jiang Qi stopped and greeted Liao Min, "get out of class is over. I took a look at the class schedule you submitted. Are you sure you want to have 14 classes a week?"
Although teachers are paid a class fee for teaching, the class fee is actually not much, and it mainly depends on the basic salary.
Take Liu Lan and Chengzi as an example. Liu Lan's gangster bubble class has 3 classes a day, 21 classes a week. Compared with Chengzi's 5 candy classes a week, Liu Lan alone is better than four people.
But according to Jiangcha's calculations, Liu Lan's monthly salary is only more than 2,000 yuan more than Cheng Zi.
Going to class requires preparation, especially when the content of each class must be different, must be consistent, and must be the same as attending class in a normal school, so attending class becomes a chore.
There are so many courses in the school, the bubble class is used to fool the children, the candy class is a handicraft class to increase interest, the crystal ball divination class is for curiosity, the elf gardening class is a combination of professionalism and fun, and the two cooking classes are The cooking mini-game and Old John's dwarf architecture allow visitors to experience the feeling of a real class.
These courses are just the icing on the cake.
The main courses of the Incredible Magic Academy are of course the magic classes taught by Principal Peggy, Lillian, Jiang Cha and others who are really good at magic and magic.
Therefore, Jiang Qi does not have strict class requirements for the icing on the cake, as long as it is no less than 5 classes a week.
Cheng Zi was not short of money, so he took guaranteed classes.
Other teachers have seven periods a week, one class a day, and they arrange their time reasonably, so even if they have a break, they can skip one class without any delay.
Only the class schedule submitted by Liao Min was 14 classes a week, two classes a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. She arranged her time very carefully.
"Yes." Liao Min nodded, "Theoretical classes in the morning and practical classes in the afternoon. I think this is a very good course. I believe that after the school officially opens, tourists will also like my course arrangement."
Jiang Qi could only label Liao Min as someone who loves classes. He nodded and was about to continue walking up when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the small basket on the ground.
In the small basket were some fallen petals and intact leaves. They all seemed to be in good condition and were obviously specially selected.
"This is..." Jiang Qi pointed to the small basket.
"This is the leftover material from today's class." Liao Min explained, "I usually collect fallen petals and leaves, process them specially for preservation, and use them to make some small decorations."
"Boss, if you like it, I will give it to you when the one I have is ready."
"No, no, no." Jiang Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't like these things either, so it would be a pity to give them to me. If you like to use plants as decorations, you can pick the plants in the botanical garden according to the situation."
Anyway, these plants grow very fast under the nourishment of wood elements, so picking them irregularly is a waste.
"Thank you, boss." Liao Min smiled and continued cleaning.
Chatting with Liao Min took some time. By the time Jiang Qi returned to the crystal ball divination classroom, nearly half an hour had passed since get out of class ended.
Half an hour after class ended, the classroom was packed with people.
To describe it as a huge crowd is not an exaggeration at all. There was a group of people surrounding Wang Shiliang. At first glance, it seemed more exaggerated than the crowds on the fourth and fourth floors of Disneyland's floats parade on Halloween night.
Wang Shiliang sat at the desk with a crystal ball on the desk. The fog in the crystal ball rolled silently, as if he was angry that there were so many people around but no one paid attention to him.
Who is everyone paying attention to?
That is of course Master Wang Shiliangwang.
I saw a row of tarot cards on the table.
"This is the reversed position of the Five of Swords, which means that it is easy to have conflicts with people verbally or psychologically, whether it is work or emotional life. If this card is upright, it will definitely explode, but it is reversed. It means that they may be tolerant or have a small quarrel, not very intense.”
“There are a lot of thoughts that can go through your mind.”
"The suggestion is that you need to free yourself from some behaviors and psychology, stop unnecessary disputes, and not be affected and troubled by the outside world."
"You may fail in doing something. At this time, you need to learn lessons and experience from the failure, identify mistakes and weaknesses, and then move towards another more certain goal."
Wang Shiliang looks like a magic stick. The beads on his left hand and the crystal chain on his right hand make him look more like an unorthodox magic stick.
It can be seen that after Wang Shiliang washed his hands in the golden basin of Zhouyi divination world, he entered the Tarot card world.
As expected of someone who came to study at a Western-style magical academy, Master Wang is learning very quickly.
The person performing the divination is a moon elf actor whose stage name is Yue.
There are many different branches of the elves, including wood elves, moon elves, light elves, water elves, dark elves and other different types of elves. These elves dress differently, but the only common feature is that they are all very good-looking.
Because Teacher Zero, one of the ace teachers of the Incredible Magic Academy, is from the Elf clan. Under Teacher Zero's strong request, among the many students in the school, the one who belongs to the Elf clan is the most expensive.
Clothes are expensive, accessories are expensive, and contact lenses are expensive.
Clothes and accessories are basically added with magical special effects. Jiang Qi doesn't know the specific type of magic. According to Principal Peggy's explanation, it is equivalent to a beauty filter. After adding it, a layer of special effects is turned on to make people look radiant. Glowing, radiant kind.
With all the jewelry on his body, he looked sparkling, with a full moon and starry eyes, looking at Wang Shiliang with admiration.
"Master, you are so right! I have been in this state recently. I feel that there are many problems that have put me in a dilemma. I don't know how to make a choice. I have been in so much pain and worried about the impact of my state. At work, I’m afraid that my boss will see that I’m not in good shape and fire me.”
"Master, I really need this job! Since I graduated, I have never found a good job with five insurances and one housing fund, including food and housing, and a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan!"
Wang Shiliang especially wanted to hold Yue's hand and tell her that I am too, but neither the conditions nor the persona allowed it. Wang Shiliang could only continue to maintain the persona of the Oriental fortune teller he came to school to study. He smiled lightly and said: "These are all It's a small problem. If you really feel that there is no way to solve it... When will you get off work? After you get off work, you can come to the office to see me for some psychological therapy. We are all colleagues. I will give you a special friendly price of 120 yuan. How about half an hour?”
Yue nodded heavily: "It's so cheap! We elves work the day shift and don't work the night shift. We can just wait until dinner is over."
"Okay, we'll make an appointment then."
Jiang Qi:?
Where are you putting aside your second career to develop your career?
Your fortune-telling industry is full of blue oceans in both the East and the West, right?
120 yuan for half an hour. Wang Shiliang, you have increased your price. You are no longer the same person who paid 50 yuan for a hexagram!
Because Jiang Qi was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, he didn't get too close. Everyone was concentrating on watching the divination and didn't notice Jiang Qi's arrival. Jiang Qi could only cough twice.
This cough frightened Yue, who had just stood up, to sit back on the chair.
At this time, the psychological quality of a fortune teller can be highlighted.
Wang Shiliang's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He calmly put away the tarot cards on the table and stood up: "Teacher Jiang, the class has ended. The students are very enthusiastic and want me to tell you some additional knowledge. You You have something to do with me, right? Let’s go back to the office and talk.”
After that, Wang Shiliang looked at everyone: "Students, you should have other classes next. Don't delay. If there are classes, go to class as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, there will be Teacher Lillian's fire magic class later, I almost forgot about it."
"Go quickly, go quickly, you're too late and you can't see the explosion in the front row!"
The students were doing things like birds and beasts.
Jiang Qi looked speechless as Wang Shiliang stuffed the tarot cards into his robe: "Why did you count the tarot cards?"
Jiang Qi had never thought that Wang Shiliang would do fortune-telling business in the amusement park. He also allowed it, and even encouraged Wang Shiliang to randomly select lucky tourists from tourists after the school opened to conduct fortune-telling for 50 yuan a piece. .
In Jiang Qi's view, divination for 50 yuan a divination is just for fun, while tarot cards for half an hour for 120 yuan is a scam.
Zhouyi divination is somewhat technical, but Tarot cards are more technical. Jiang Qi doesn’t understand. Anyway, when Jiang Qi was in high school, there were many girls in his class who liked to use tarot cards to tell people everywhere, so Jiang Qi was arrested. Calculate it.
Wang Shiliang smiled bitterly: "Didn't I tell you, boss, a long time ago? I can also do tarot cards. Compared with fortune-telling, tarot cards are easier to cheat money. Today's little girls like tarot cards to predict career, love, and fortune. Forget about being in a good relationship, getting out of singles, or having the next one, some girls like to use tarot cards to calculate past and present lives.”
"We are all colleagues. I don't charge money anyway, so I can just do whatever I want."
"No money?" Jiang Qi said that he had just heard of the super high hourly wage of 120 yuan for half an hour.
Wang Shiliang quickly explained: "Psychological therapy is a hard job. I think my colleague Yue's mentality is indeed not very good. The 120 yuan for half an hour of therapy is a bit expensive, but this price is already destroying the market."
"College Yue likes to find people to tell tarot cards online. Rather than being defrauded by online scammers, it would be better to be defrauded by me. At least my fees are low."
Jiang Qi:?
Afraid that Jiang Qi wouldn't believe it, Wang Shiliang quickly offered the price of an online tarot card.
Quick Q&A: 120 yuan for 10 minutes (one question per question, only one set of cards, no additional questions allowed)
220 yuan for 20 minutes (only key points, unlimited card play)
330 yuan for 30 minutes (no limit on questions, no limit on times)
580 yuan for 60 minutes (no limit on questions, no limit on number of times, questions can be extended)
Spiritual Divination: Past and Present Life (399-499)
…
Jiang Qi was stunned.
Wang Shiliang said with regret on the side: "That is to say, my appearance does not allow it. If I were a beautiful young lady with a nice voice, I would have made a fortune long ago."
"Maybe he went in a long time ago." Jiang Qi complained ruthlessly, "Didn't you watch the news? I just caught one two days ago."
"In the future, don't charge Tarot cards offline. If you develop online, I can't control you. Offline, I'm afraid that others will report you to the amusement park." Jiang Qi said, "It's okay to tell fortunes. If it suits your personality, just Think of it as a fun little interaction for free at the Incredible Magic Academy.”
Wang Shiliang regretted that his brand-new side business had just developed and was cut off by his boss, but he could also understand Jiang Qi's concerns, and he was also afraid of getting in on his own.
"Boss, why did you come to see me specially?" Wang Shiliang asked.
Jiang Qi told Wang Shiliang about the promotional video and asked him if he wanted to appear in the film.
Wang Shiliang was silent for a moment and asked very seriously: "Boss, can I add a plot for myself in the promotional video?"
"There are close-up ones. I bring my own robe and compass. If this hairstyle doesn't work, I can also buy a wig."
"The plot doesn't need to be too long, it's just me, the Oriental fortune teller who comes to train. Give me three minutes, no, just two minutes!" Wang Shiliang gestured.
"If this promotional video becomes a hot search on Weibo, I will be proud of my ancestors!"
Jiang Qi:......
He was really curious about how Wang Shiliang jumped repeatedly between going in and not going in.
"Okay, I'll ask tonight." Jiang Qi nodded wordlessly, "By the way, there's one more thing. Do you know about the art gallery next door?"
Wang Shiliang was overjoyed, thinking that the emperor's close relatives were good, and the memorial went straight to the heaven. Although the salary was lower than that of other teachers, no amount of money could buy such salary and status.
"I know, of course I know, the Art Museum Challenge has been mentioned in the hot search!"
After the Art Museum Challenge started successfully, Jiang Qi didn't take care of the Art Museum much. This is why amusement park projects are good and stable. Once they start running, they are not prone to problems.
"The plot there is also updated regularly. The actors in the art museum didn't know what was going on, so they suddenly came up with the character of a fortune teller. A group of actors acted like magicians, with no trace of the temperament of a worldly expert. If there is no performance, if you are interested, you can go over and give them guidance, and you will get a bonus."
As soon as he heard about the bonus, Wang Shiliang obliged on the spot: "No problem, boss, leave it to me. Anyway, there are no classes tomorrow and the next two days."
"There is one more thing, boss." Wang Shiliang smiled sheepishly, "I will go to the art museum to help my colleagues in the next two days. Can you let me visit the five venues of the art museum?"
"Of course. It's training now and you don't have any rest days. After you officially start working, there will be rest days every month. Employees can enjoy unlimited access to the amusement park on rest days. As long as you are willing to queue up, you are considered an invisible employee. Welfare.”
It's just that this employee benefit is of little use to employees now. Everyone has worked in the amusement park for so long and has already played the facilities that should be played. Taiping Town can't bear to visit Taiping Town every day, and Snow Village can't afford to live there.
Generally, when it comes to vacation, employees in amusement parks tend to go shopping in the city. Whatever is missing will be supplemented. Residents in the city come to the amusement park during the holidays, and employees of the amusement park go to the city during the holidays. It is true that they go in both directions.
"Why did you think of going to the art museum?" Jiang Qi asked.
Although art museums are very popular now, the most famous attractions in the amusement park are probably Snow Village and Taiping Town.
Wang Shiliang smiled sheepishly: "To be honest, I also signed up for the Art Museum Challenge. It's just that when I started to grab the dates, there were guests over there, so I only got the ones at the end of January. I originally planned to get the dates at the end of January. I came here to have sex for free, but what a coincidence, boss, you have a good eye for talents, and you fell in love with me at the end of December!"
"On the first day of the challenge, I watched the live broadcast. There was a very interesting live broadcast room. The screen was black and only the sound could be heard. I could hear the anchor shouting, running, and breathing heavily. It felt very exciting and fun! "
Jiang Qi didn't expect that Wang Shiliang would also be squatting in Zhou Yuan's live broadcast room that day.
"What do you think of the live broadcast that day?"
"No need to say, this!" Wang Shiliang gave a thumbs up, "I usually like to watch live broadcasts when I have no business. I also followed that live broadcast room, and later I found out that it seemed to be a company's live broadcast account."
"I watched a few more shows later, and one of them was broadcast by the anchor from the art museum. There was one girl missing. Without the girl from the art museum to talk to her, it felt boring and missing something."
Jiang Qi nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, that's it for now, Assistant Professor Wang, go and do your own business."
"Remember, don't charge for tarot reading in amusement parks."
When I sent the price list of Tarot cards to my best friend, my best friend said why should I study Tarot cards?
I can only say that metaphysics is more profitable than I thought...
