The Greatest Astrologist

Chapter 067 - “I thought it was a video on astrology; turned out it was about recruitment.” (3)

When Tan Muxing, he set his backpack down and started focusing on what kind of gloves he should make.

Beautiful and delicate dolls were displayed on the shelf and Tan Muxing was busy with picking out pearls and laces etc. when he heard a knocking on the door. He quickly turned and responded, “C’mon in.”

His family stood outside of his room and asked cautiously, “Xingxing, is everything okay at school today?”

Tan Muxing getting into a fight with someone at school was unheard of. He never even raised his voice before.

His family knew that he had always been a pacifist and perhaps he was feeling blue right now. That was why they came to check on him.

“I’m alright?” Tan Muxing had already forgotten about Wang Zahng. With his assignment, the only thing that was on his mind was about a return gift.

“That’s good then. What are you busying yourself with?”

“Designing.” Tan Muxing paused for a few seconds, then added softly, “I might be up later than usual tonight.”

“Hah?” His family paused a little. His decent mood was unexpected. They finally urged him, “Alright then. We will let you be. Don’t stay up too late. Designing can……

“…… cause hair loss.”

After the footsteps were gone, Tan Muxing placed the Fool card neatly on one side of the table and started looking for tutorials online.

On the day of their filming, Chu Qianli put on her new glove and, looking at the pretty dangling pearls, she rocked her hand back and forth and listened to the sound made by the pearls and crystal fragments clinking against each other. She exclaimed, “It really is the same style as the clothes that you make for your dolls.”

Tan Muxing sighed, “This is my first time. It’s the best I could do.”

 Qiu Qingkong opined on them. “Can we really consider these gloves? They look more like Lolita style accessories. They are pretty though.”

The ”gloves” that looked more like accessories for the hands were made out of purple velvet, black lace, pearls, and crystal fragments, etc. It had a mysterious Gothic style melancholy and fit the astrologist theme very well.

After Chu Qianli got her new equipment, the filming started without further ado. Chu Qianli was able to combine her tarot cards with an astronomical disc to complete the content for their video.

Qiu Qingkong was the photographer and she only focused on what Chu Qianli did with her hands and the cards. The process went smoothly.

Even though their topic was “What good things will happen next month” but, in reality, the planetary movement did not align funny with the months. Chu Qianli adjusted the time some and her reading was good from end of this month to next month.

Qiu Qingkong worried about their expiration date so she stayed up all night editing after their filming and quickly submitted it. That was how she always was. When she was very proactive when she was on a roll and would lose steam when her passion subsided. Luckily she had been quite efficient lately.

The platform that they had submitted their video to had a lot of videos. That, in combination with the fact that Qiu Qingkong’s account was brand new, they did not receive a lot of views at the beginning.

Zhou Qiang was a senior in college who would be graduating soon. She had been frazzled looking for a job lately. She had been sending resumes all over the place but had heard nothing back. She had no idea what she should do next.

Supposedly, the internship that she had done when she was still in school wasn’t half bad and she shouldn’t have gotten no offers. Nevertheless, for whatever reasons, she had heard nothing back at all. As her classmates started nailing down their employments one by one, Zhou Qiang couldn't help but started to get a little irritated.

Comparisons are difficult. Comparisons will bring about disappointments, especially for those who were already in bad mood.

Inside the dormitory, Zhou Qiang unwrapped her food delivery as she skillfully logged onto certain platform to look for dreaming materials.

She newest hobby was to watch divination videos when she ate, mostly about her career and her future. Hearing anything positive would allow her to accrue materials to dream on.
