Instead of Applying for Jobs, I Set Up a Fortune-Telling Stall After Graduation

Lin Xiaoman, a top finance graduate from a prestigious university, turned down an investment bank offer on graduation day and set up a "fortune-telling stall" in an old alley with her grandfather's old abacus. Her "divinations" are far from superstition—she uses cash flow analysis to help a failed entrepreneur, breaks down emotional manipulation with game theory for a PUA victim, and even solves a milk tea shop owner's location crisis with SWOT analysis. When Gu Shen, a cold-hearted investment bank CEO, comes to expose her "scam," he ends up being saved by her when she predicts his "workplace trap." From mutual hostility to mutual attraction, their relationship heats up. As the secret in the abacus unfolds: her grandfather gave up a bank job to "tell fortunes" decades ago, using folk wisdom to solve real problems. Turns out "fortune-telling" was never mysticism—it's the most down-to-earth "life problem-solving skill." Lin Xiaoman's counterattack is turning textbook formulas into the warmest light in the ordinary world.
