Chapter 14 Preparing for the Interview
Camphor wood boxes are usually used to store books, calligraphy and paintings and other paper items, Xiao Shan looked at the camphor wood boxes all over the ground, and felt that they might be books and calligraphy and paintings. Yan Hou didn't say anything, he directly opened and sorted out the boxes one by one, each box was classified, and seeing that the young master was busy, Xiao Shan followed suit. Since everything was divided in advance, the two of them didn't have much to do, and they all sorted it out before dinner and put it in the underground secret room of the study.
Seeing that the young master was done, Xiao Shan hurriedly asked someone to bring hot water, personally twisted a handkerchief, and washed his hands and wiped his face for Yan Hou. "Young master, let's have dinner, you've been busy for most of the day. ”
"Well, I'm hungry, let's eat. Xiao Shan waited for Yan Hou to finish dinner, so he sent his subordinates back, leaving him to talk to the young master alone.
"Young master, just now the old slave followed you to sort it out, and found that these books are all books such as Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements Gossip, could it be that the young master has been out of the house for so many years, just to collect these books?"
"Hehe, yes. ”
"The old slave doesn't quite understand, young master, you better stop playing dumb riddles, and talk to the old slave about the wind. ”
"Xiao Shan, I've heard of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Yan Hou took a sip of the hot tea handed over by Xiao Shan, and spit out a sentence slowly.
"I've heard of it, and it's all about very old myths, but it doesn't seem to match the current landscape. ”
"It's not quite consistent, that's because what it says is not the mountains and rivers of our world at all. ”
"It's not from our world?!" Xiao Shan felt a moment in his heart, feeling that what the young master was going to talk about next was probably a very important matter.
"I've been traveling alone for so many years, but it's actually because I understand my confusion. Since I was born, I have often heard a voice, it came from far away, it does not seem to be the sound of our world, and it seems to have existed in my mind since a long time ago, that voice told me one story after another, at first I didn't know if those stories were real, and then I rummaged through the ancient books, and finally let me know the source of those stories, which is the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The story wasn't long, but there were a lot of questions, so I decided to go out and find out. And that voice has been guiding me and telling me something that will happen in the future, these books, which I have collected over the years, may be lost in the future. So you have to hide them and keep them!"
"Don't worry, the young master, the old slave can be saved. ”
"And in the process of searching for answers, I found some clues about that voice, the Chinese used to call it 'God's, the West called 'God's will', I think it is what we usually call 'God's will' but a little different, I always feel that the voice seems to come from a higher and farther place than the sky." The study of theology has been recorded in China since ancient times, and most of it has been recorded in the form of scriptures. Due to the war, many important scriptures and historical materials in my country have been spread overseas, so I have also traveled to many different countries over the years, taking boats, trains and even planes. ”
"Young master, these old slaves have never seen it, but they have heard a lot, and those means of transportation are very advanced!
"It's just a bit of knowledge, it's not worth mentioning. However, these ancient books that I have recovered contain more or less vague records of the 'will of heaven', and the voice told me to bring them all back, otherwise the answers I want will be difficult to find. So along the way, I collected more and more books along the way. ”
"It turns out that these are all precious ancient books that the young master got when he traveled!" Although Xiao Shan is not very clear about the value of these ancient books, what the young master values and must properly preserve by himself, Xiao Shan will also attach great importance to it.
"I'm afraid the next hundred years will be the darkest days in my Chinese land, since you founded 'Wu', then protect it well, use it, and protect these ancient books closely. ”
"Yes!"
"I don't have so many doubts in my heart now, but the world recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" seems to overlap with our world, but to enter, you need to find the entrance, and you need to find a key!"
"Young Master, what do you mean that the heaven and earth overlap with our world?"
That is to say, for example, two such studies are completely overlapped, but study A cannot see study B, study B can sometimes see study A, and sometimes people in two study rooms can feel each other, but they can't see or touch, and even pass through each other's bodies, and each other is like a ghost to each other, this is what two spaces overlap. ”
"It's really unimaginable, so young master, do you think that the world in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is actually around us? It's just that we can't see that world, touch that world, and can't enter that world, that's what it means, right?"
"That's right, but as long as you find the entrance and the key, you can enter!"
"But young master, that world is rampant with demons and monsters, why are you going in?"
"Hehe, immortality, feathering into immortals!"
"Ah?!" Xiao Shan found out for the first time that his young master was going to become an immortal!"The young master wants to become an immortal?!"
"There are no demons and monsters in this world, which means that this world is not suitable for them to exist, so there are only mortals in this world. Only a world suitable for the survival of demons and monsters can also be suitable for the existence of immortal cultivators, so if you want to become an immortal and become a god, you must go to that world! People in the world say that jumping out of the five elements means going to another world, but this world is not in the sky, but right around us! Haha!" Xiao Shan was dumbfounded when he heard this, it turned out that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" said this meaning!
"What the young master said, the old slave was moved when he heard it!"
"Xiao Shan, you are a loyal servant of my Hong family, and you are also a meritorious protector, as long as Ben Shao can have the certainty of becoming an immortal, he will never leave you!"
"The old slave thanked the young master first, but the young master is a little sure now?" It's not that Xiao Shan can't wait to become an immortal, it's just that he always feels that cultivating immortals since ancient times is not easy, not to mention that although the young master knows the truth of the other world, can the young master go in? I don't know where the key is.
"It depends on the old house. ”
"Old house?" Yan Hou didn't say anything more after he said this, and Xiao Shan saw that the young master just smiled and didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.
=============================I am the ========================= of the dividing line of eternity
Zhang Jian put the bead string magic weapon in the palm of his hand and rubbed it carefully, while Cheng Xu sat next to him and looked at him from time to time, and the two guys sat on the public bench on the side of the road, staring at the office building of the Zall Group opposite, silent.
"Zhang Jian, have you thought about it, it's just a building, why are you staring at it for so long. I just said that you can help me break the protective array of this building, what are you struggling with?" Cheng Xu didn't understand Zhang Jian's grinding.
"Cheng Xu, it seems that we don't know each other, I'll do whatever you ask me to do, isn't it a little wrong?" Zhang Jian turned his head and looked at Cheng Xu with an unkind expression.
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just think that listening to your words will ruin other people's feng shui, which seems a bit inappropriate. ”
"What do you call my one-sided words?!" Cheng Xu immediately jumped to his feet. "I, Cheng Xu, am a victim!"
"Although you are dead, you are committing suicide!Cheng Xu, you figure it out!" Zhang Jian stared at Cheng Xu with a serious face, his eyes were as sharp as a needle, and he even brought a little mana, which made Cheng Xu take a few steps back unconsciously. "Besides, you have studied hard for revenge for more than ten years, and this skill is not easy to come by, so it must not be the right way, right? Moreover, if you go astray and become a powerful ghost, if I help you, I will become an accomplice!"
"Zhang Jian, it's been 12 years! I, Cheng Xu, have indeed done a lot of sin to get this skill, and I will definitely go to hell in the future, but as long as I can take revenge, I will admit it! You are the first person who can see me, I believe that this is also the will of heaven, as long as you help me take revenge, I will definitely go where I go, and I will never drag you down!"
"Cheng Xu, I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about myself, I'm always a little apprehensive about the coincidence of this mana, it seems like you said it is the will of heaven? What's more, you have troubled the master, and you will judge based on your words, and the master is still a little uncertain. ”
"Then what do you want?" Cheng Xu listened to Zhang Jian's rambling and was a little impatient.
"Since I want to go in, then go in openly! I will also find a job in Zall Group, go in and see it openly every day, and then find out the truth, and then decide whether to help you!"
"What?!...... You're going to work in Zall Group? And find out the truth, your brain is in water, right? It's been 12 years, it's definitely very difficult for you to find the truth, and it's been so long since the clues are probably gone, how can you find it?"
"You've been waiting for 12 years, and you're still a little bit away?"
"The point is something that can be done right away, you have to make it so troublesome......"
"There's no way, the master has obsessive-compulsive disorder, I have to confirm it in person to help you with this, after all, your revenge may have to kill someone, the master can't be so hasty, I don't understand the whole thing, so I decided to help you." ”
"Zhang Jian, I'm already dead, time is there, is it possible that your good youth is used to prove whether what I said is true? If it's just a few months, what if you check it for a few years, more than ten years, or decades? Do you have to do this?"
"Master, I've decided, I'm going to find out the truth!" Zhang Jian relied on his meager mana to overcome Cheng Xu's opposition, and handed over his resume to Zall Group.
"You're really not too troublesome......" Looking at Zhang Jian who was busy with the interview, Cheng Xu sat on the side and was speechless.
"What do you know, this is called in-depth understanding, and then make a fair and objective decision, whether it helps you or not, I can't listen to you. ”
"But can you find something easy?"
"What's the easy way? Go directly to the police? Say help me find out what happened back then? I'm not looking for a draw!"
"Who said you have to find the police, private detectives can do it!"
"Private detective? I've heard of it, I haven't seen it, and it's said to be very expensive! You pay for it!? Forget it, you only have the Stygian coin!"
"......" Cheng Xu was helpless, so he could only watch Zhang Jian clean up and go out.
Zhang Yingwen, chairman of Zall Group, started as a foreign trade in his early years, worked diligently to earn capital, and then slowly expanded the scale of the company. It turned out that he had come into contact with a lot of industries in foreign trade, and Zhang Yingwen gradually began to develop into electronics, tourism, jewelry and other industries, and even their related industries such as parts, machinery, engineering, hotels, jewelry stores, etc. were also opened one after another, and finally there was Zall Group. Zhang Yingwen worked hard for 20 years to lay down the country, but people are also old, Zhang Yingwen got married at the age of 40 and married a wife who was more than ten years younger than him. Later, his wife gave birth to a son for him, and Zhang Yingwen was even happier. His son Zhang Pinliang also lived up to his father's expectations, with good academic performance, and was praised by the school leaders at school. Zhang Yingwen also explained some business examples to his son from time to time, Zhang Pinliang was already very business-minded at a young age.
Zhang Yingwen invited a lot of capable talents to carefully cultivate his son, hoping that when he is old, his son will be able to carry forward the group he created. Zhang Pinliang knew that he would be the successor of Zall Group in the future, and he had no opinion on his father's arrangement, and he learned very well. But people have to grow up, they have to be exposed to different people and things, and they have their own ideas, and Zhang Pinliang is no exception.
As the so-called rich people have distant relatives, and the Zhang family is developed, naturally some relatives will come over, and Zhang Yingwen did not reject it. Although you can't ascend to heaven by yourself, it's still okay to help. After several contacts, Zhang Yingwen let go of all his relatives and friends, it is impossible to get benefits for nothing, and he must have the ability. Most of those relatives were old people who were about the same age as Zhang Yingwen, so Zhang Yingwen came up with the idea to let their children come, and after Zhang Yingwen tested them, he decided whether these children would stay or not. Good stay and cultivate, and in the future will be left as the help of his son Zhang Pinliang, and those with poor quality are not afraid, as long as there is no problem with the character, they will give a sum of money to do some small business, and they will also take care of it more. Although some people are unhappy, most people are still kind, and happily send their juniors to Zhang Yingwen. Not to mention, there are really a few smart ones, and Zhang Yingwen is actually very happy, which shows that their Zhang family still has talents.
This person has money and power, and there are successors, but he will feel lonely, and he is afraid that his children will have no one to help him in the future. Select high-quality juniors from their own family to cultivate, one is to help relatives eat meat and let everyone have soup to drink, and the other is to think that their sons will have blood relatives to help them in the future, so that the foundation of the group can be more stable. Zhang Yingwen also often discusses this issue with his son, so Zhang Pinliang also knows the stakes involved, and although he is not very affectionate to these peers who are about the same age, they treat each other with courtesy.
Even if he can't stay in Zall Group in the future, as long as he has these opportunities today, even if he has a small business in the future and Zhang Yingwen will take care of him, these people will more or less give Zhang Yingwen a face and take care of the younger generations of these Zhang families. Therefore, Zhang Yingwen also got a good reputation for caring for his younger generations, so Zhang Yingwen was more respected by his peers, and he got a lot of good karma in business.
