Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Man
A true cultivator must have his own ethics, this is what Master said to me when I was 11 years old, I went up the mountain at the age of eight, recited sutras and memorized scriptures on the mountain, planted the land and chopped wood for three years, and it was also the three years that the Master tested me, and when I was 11 years old, I was considered to be in contact with the Tao, and the Master told me this on the first day of the Tao.
I have always divided Master's words into holy decrees and cited them as life lessons, so I will not help Old Lady Gu to do that feng shui bureau where the dragon absorbs water at all.
"Xuanji, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, in fact, my grandma has no malice"
On the second day, Gu Nian took me out to eat and said to me at the dinner table.
"It's okay, Miss Gu, I didn't care," I replied with a shake of my head.
"Xuanji, then can you explain to me the matter of Chen's dragon absorbing water again, don't get me wrong, I just want to understand, go back and dispel my grandmother's idea, I understand my grandmother, she is a person with a tough personality, she can't get a request from you, she may find someone else"
"Miss Gu, although the dragon absorbs water is a typical feng shui bureau, the requirements are very high, and Mrs. Gu can't do it casually."
Gu Nian asked me to explain the dragon's water absorption again, but I was laughing in my heart, the dragon's water absorption requirements are not ordinarily high, where can I do it casually.
"Yes, Xuanji, you say, I'll listen"
When Gu Nian heard this, he suddenly became interested, and a pair of eyes stared at me, full of curiosity, which made my heartbeat suddenly speed up a little.
"Ahem, Miss Gu, the so-called feng shui master is not the person who creates feng shui, but the person who discovers feng shui, if you want a good feng shui, you must first have good feng shui, the mountains and rivers topography and water veins, first have it, and then the feng shui master will discover it.
The feng shui pattern of dragon water absorption must first have a dangerous land, but it is still the kind of dangerous land between the blessed land and the Jedi, and only after having it can you find the dragon's eye, supplemented by feng shui guidance, and this kind of dangerous land, there is no one in ten thousand, and it is basically impossible to find another one that is exactly the same."
After thinking about it, I explained to Gu Nian that feng shui masters can't conjure up feng shui patterns out of thin air, they are all guided and transformed from the existing mountains and rivers, and it is basically impossible to find a second one for Chen's kind of feng shui pattern.
"So that's the case, but mysterious, I've heard that a clever feng shui master can reverse feng shui and change a very bad feng shui bureau into a very good feng shui bureau, will you?"
"Miss Gu, this is nonsense, I haven't heard of any feng shui master who can have this ability, the feng shui situation can be broken, a Jedi can make it not harm people can do it, but to become a blessed land, no one has this ability, unless it is the nature of heaven and earth, such as earthquakes and the like, which has changed the feng shui situation in the entire region"
I shook my head, I don't know where Miss Gu heard these words, it was simply a mistake.
"Haha, don't be angry, I'm just curious to listen to what others say, I'll ask the last question, Xuanji, I read some books, I heard that the ancients were able to be angry, will you too?"
"Wangqi is the category of looking at the physiognomy, and the mountain doctor is destined for each other, this is the category that cultivators must learn, but they will not be proficient in all of them, I have dabbled in one or two in this aspect."
I replied that the knowledge of the Dao Sect is vast and boundless, and the manpower is limited, no one can be proficient in all of them, and it is enough to be called a grandmaster if one of them can be mastered, and several of us brothers and sisters are not proficient in reading and divination, because it is the Master's decision.
Master told us that people have a strong sense of curiosity, and once we learn to read and calculate the past and future of others, we can't help but calculate the past and future of others, and it is easy to leak the heavenly secrets, which is not good for ourselves, so we only dabble in one or two, instead of mastering it.
"I see, Xuanji, I recently met a strange person, can you explain it to me?"
"Miss Gu, please speak"
"Here's the thing, I have a girlfriend, the family also runs a company, not long ago her family invited a general manager, opened an annual salary of 10 million super high price, directly top my girlfriend's position, but the problem is that the general manager seems to be a little uneducated, only graduated from junior high school, has been working in an electronics factory before, never engaged in senior management experience.
My girlfriend couldn't figure it out, so she asked her parents, but her parents said that they had been instructed by a master, and you said it was strange."
"Is there anything unusual about this general manager?"
Gu Nian's words immediately aroused my curiosity, a migrant worker who graduated from junior high school can be invited to be the general manager of a company with an annual salary of tens of millions, which is too mysterious, and he is not writing a novel.
"If you want to say that there is, there is really a little, you also know the mystery, these years of business have not been very good, my girlfriend's family is the same, several projects are stranded, the development of the whole company has encountered difficulties, but since the general manager, the development of the whole company has suddenly gone smoothly.
How to say it, my girlfriend's company has an e-commerce department, and a batch of goods has been squeezed for a long time, and it has to be processed at a loss, but suddenly this batch of goods is on fire, and the inventory is sold out all of a sudden, and when the inventory is sold out, the market is not hot again, and several similar things have happened."
Gu Nian said that the strange thing about this matter is that her best friend's family invited such a general manager, and the company did not collapse, but suddenly became prosperous in a very short period of time, which is incredible.
"I haven't heard of this kind of thing, and I don't dare to make a conclusion if I don't understand it."
There were several possibilities that flashed through my mind, but I didn't dare to make up my mind easily, after all, I didn't understand it.
"Is there any interest in Xuanji, my best friend is in Sioux City, I am going to Sioux City on a business trip in two days, I can take you with me"
"Okay, it's nothing anyway, let's go see the strange man"
I nodded, I don't have anything to do here, and I don't want to face Old Lady Gu, so I might as well go out for a walk.
Two days later, I followed Gu Nian on a business trip, and there were four people in our group, a driver and three employees, Gu Nian told them that I was the upcoming consultant of their company, and I didn't say anything about the consultant.
Sioux City is hundreds of kilometers away from Yangcheng, you can reach it by car for half a day, the traffic is very convenient, after arriving in Sioux City, Gu Nian took us to the hotel, Gu Nian's company has already booked the room.
We arrived in the afternoon, Gu Nian gave the employees a half-day off and let them play on their own, and she took me to her best friend's company.
Gu Nian told me that her best friend's name is Luo Xiaoqian, nicknamed Qianqian, her family used to do import and export trade, and opened an e-commerce company a few years ago, both at home and abroad, and the strange person they invited was called Li Zhiming, and his resume is very simple, and now he is in charge of this e-commerce company.
Luo Xiaoqian's company is in the e-commerce park on the outskirts of Sioux City, and there are thousands of e-commerce companies large and small in the entire park, and Luo's company is not famous among them, but only at a medium level.
"Xiao Nian"
"Qianqian"
When the girlfriends met, the two screamed in the company, and then attracted countless attention, but Luo Xiaoqian didn't care, and directly took us to the leisure bar on the second floor of the office building, and each ordered a cup of milk tea, and the two couldn't wait to communicate.
After chatting for a few minutes, Luo Xiaoqian paid attention to me and said to Gu Nian, "Xiao Nian, where did you find the little fresh meat, it looks very small."
"Qianqian, look, I forgot to introduce it to you, this is Li Xuanji, the master I told you about, it's amazing"
"Tall, I'm quite tall, hehe, just kidding, hello Li Xuanji, I'm Luo Xiaoqian"
"Hello Miss Luo"
"Can you change the name, calling people Miss is now scolding, call me Sister Luo"
"Sister Luo is good"
I touched my nose, how did calling Miss become a curse, I don't know, but I still call her Sister Luo very simply, anyway, she is older than me.
"Qianqian, didn't you tell me about the strange man in your family last time, this time I called Xuanji, just to come and see, Xuanji has been cultivating in the mountains for ten years, and he is very capable."
"Ten years of cultivation, are you a Taoist priest?"
Gu Nian explained the intention, Luo Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and said to me.
"Count it half"
I said casually that the master did not walk the rivers and lakes in the name of a Taoist priest, but more in the name of a feng shui gentleman, a fortune teller, or more accurately, he could be called a warlock.
"Half, why is it half, and the Taoist priest still has half of it?"
"Then you can call me a warlock, of course, just call me by my name."
I smiled, Luo Xiaoqian's personality is more cheerful than Gu Nian, enthusiastic and unrestrained.
"Okay, Xuanji, wait, within five minutes, that strange person will definitely arrive," Luo Xiaoqian replied.
In fact, within five minutes, a young man appeared, saw us, walked straight over, and sat down naturally.
"Qianqian, why don't you go to the office when you come here, you have to come here"
The man sat next to Luo Xiaoqian and said dotingly, but his eyes kept looking at Gu Nian, and his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Li, the office belongs to your manager, not mine, and besides, do you have milk tea in your office?"
Luo Xiaoqian immediately put away her cheerful tone, became serious, and asked the person a rhetorical question, and the identity of this person was about to be revealed.
"Haha, I forgot about this, there aren't many girls who like to drink tea now, they all like milk tea, Qianqian, won't you introduce it to me?"
"This is my best friend Gu Nian, the general manager of Yangcheng Gu's Group, Mr. Li, she is the general manager, but your general manager is much stronger, the Gu Group is a large company with billions of revenue a year, this is Xiao Nian's friend Li Xuanji"
Luo Xiaoqian introduced Li Zhiming and deliberately pointed out Gu Nian's identity, Li Zhiming's eyes brightened, and he chatted with a smile.
Gu Nian also became enthusiastic, and the content of the three of them was all about company management and business environment, and I couldn't interject because I didn't understand it at all.
Of course, I can also see that Li Zhiming doesn't understand, because he always wants to change the topic, and all he is talking about how high his status is in Luo Xiaoqian's company, what kind of achievements he has made, etc., and occasionally when he talks about me, he also tells me about some high-end clothes, expensive watches or something, of course, he is talking about those on his body, so I don't know how to answer, because I don't understand either.
After chatting for almost an hour, several groups of people from their company asked Li Zhiming to sign some documents and the like, Li Zhi was obviously impatient, but Luo Xiaoqian still persuaded him to go back.
"Qianqian, then I'll go back first, eat together in the evening, and entertain your girlfriends"
"No need, a few of our girls eat at night, and it's inconvenient for boys"
"Isn't he there then?"
Li Zhiming pointed at me and said, with a look of indignation, isn't there a boy here.
"You don't care who I have, you go quickly, don't disturb me"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you after work"
Luo Xiaoqian pulled her face, Li Zhiming immediately changed his tone, no longer entangled, and left quickly.
"Qianqian, it seems that this Li always wants to chase you"
"I want to eat fart, I look like a villain, hum"
Gu Nian laughed, but Luo Xiaoqian's face was very disdainful, she didn't look down on Li Zhiming at all, and she felt very bored.
"Xuanji, do you see what's coming?" Gu Nian didn't answer, but turned his head to ask me.
"Full of red light, full of ambition, good luck"
"What do you mean?"
Luo Xiaoqian interjected, Gu Nian was also confused.
"I don't see anything, but there is one thing that his luck is not ordinary"
I shook my head, Master is right, people, there is always curiosity, this Li Zhiming, Yin Tang is shining, obviously good luck, luck comes, no one can stop the kind.
