His money tree broke in the wind, and he got the job
A client wrote saying his money tree had snapped in a storm, worried it was a bad sign. I told him it was small things, and that career news would likely be good.
The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.
Client
Zongyuan, are you there?

Let me list them out for you.
我给你列一下
Client
I was so scared.
吓死我了
Zongyuan
1. Signal interruptions. Watch out for electrical appliances breaking down. 2. You will have a haircut or nail trimming soon. 3. The company you are going to will have an inspection, or someone there is being criticized for violating rules or laws. 4. You and your wife watch out for minor bumps and bruises, including to vehicles, hands and feet (small things only). 5. You are likely to have a minor argument soon. The other party will be in the right. It is not a big deal, it will pass if you keep the peace.
1 信号中断，注意电器损坏
2 近期有剪指甲或者理法行为
3 所要去的公司有检查，或者其中正有人
违纪违法被批评。
4 你和妻子注意意外磕碰，包括车辆和手
脚(小事)
5 最近易有口舌，对方占理，事儿不大，
和为贵就能过去。

I thought I had to replace the money tree. I have put so much hope in this tree [emoji]
