Chapter 576: "Conspiracy"
These gossips naturally couldn't get into Tang Chen's ears. Not being jealous of others is a mediocre talent, since Tang Chen became this part-time feng shui master, is it still rare to be blinded by others? If you keep the words of these people in your heart and get angry with yourself, then it is strange if you are not angry.
It is no wonder that many feng shui masters in history, who are either Taoist priests or monks, turned out to be unable to stand this kind of criticism, so they wanted to hide aside and not ask about the world! Of course, this is just a joke, the great feng shui masters of the past generations became Taoist priests and monks, in fact, in order to pursue the realm of "the unity of heaven and man". "The unity of heaven and man" is what feng shui masters have always admired, but unfortunately there are very few feng shui masters who can reach this realm. And feng shui was born from Taoism, and some people drilled the horns of the bull: since feng shui is difficult to follow, it is better to trace the origin of Taoism, maybe there will be gains?
As for monks who also know feng shui, it is entirely because of competition. But as long as it is the "business" of the Taoist, the monk must also seize the market. It's like anywhere in the world where there's a McDonald's, there's bound to be a KFC next to it. The difference is that Taoism serves the upper class, while Buddhism is all-encompassing. In fact, there are also historical reasons for this, in the period of the great collision of ideas in the Jin Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were combined into one, and it was difficult to distinguish each other. It was also from that time that Buddhism began to be localized, and it actively absorbed the essence of Taoism and Confucianism, so that it could take a solid foundation in the world. Therefore, it is not strange that monks know feng shui. Even many famous temples and ancient temples occupy very good feng shui, and they are also surveyed by the monks themselves.
Tang Chen already knew these things, fortunately, these big-headed monks pretended to be high, otherwise the feng shui masters of the past dynasties would really have difficulty eating together.
"Tang Chen, what do you want? Are you still annoying those people?" Zhou Xuanying saw that Tang Chen didn't say a word, and thought he was sulking, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Those people are all suffering from pink eye, don't pay attention to them." I don't have the ability, I don't have a good life, and I don't allow others to have a bad life......"
Tang Chen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm not thinking about that, but I'm thinking, will my profession be looked down upon by your parents?"
This is what Tang Chen is most worried about, and he has never dared to face it head-on.
But now it seems that the arrow is on the bow, and he has to send it, so he dares to face this problem. Let me ask, are there any parents in the world who are willing to marry their daughters to a feng shui guy? This is not the old society, and the profession of feng shui master has faded out of the sight of ordinary people for many years. Even if they are still active, they don't dare to make a big splash, so they can only sneak around.
Such a profession like an underground rat can be favored by the Zhou family?
Only then did Tang Chen understand why Zhou Deqing would seriously discuss this matter with him, it turned out that he wanted to marry Zhou Xuanying, and the resistance was not ordinary! Thinking about it like this, Tang Chen realized that Zhou Deqing was not against him and Zhou Xuanying, but worried that he would not be treated at all!
"Oh, it is said that the IQ of girls becomes lower after falling in love, why does your IQ also become lower?" Zhou Xuanying was angry and funny, "Your usual cleverness, why is it gone?"
“...... Huh?" Tang Chen was a little confused, "This has something to do with the Intelligence?"
"Why doesn't it matter?" Zhou Xuanying said hatefully, "You usually talk about flowers, but now you can't speak tactfully?"
"Be tactful?" Tang Chen still didn't turn his mind, and he didn't even understand what Zhou Xuanying was referring to.
"Stupid, you won't say that you are not a feng shui master, but a seller of folk mascots?" Zhou Xuanying stretched out his hand and flicked it on his head, hearing Tang Chen's screaming and pain, he said with satisfaction, "If my father asks you what you do, you will say that you are a store, if he doesn't ask you what you sell, you don't say anything, if you ask, you will say that you sell folk mascots, and there are several branches......"
"Branch, I don't have a branch, this is one, there is no semicolon...... Oh, why are you playing me again?" Tang Chen covered his head with his right hand, feeling a little innocent.
"I'll flick it hard to see if I can bounce your elm head melon out of the hole......" Zhou Xuanying pouted and said, "Won't you make it up without you......?"
"Obviously he is a magic weapon seller and a feng shui guy, where is there such a tall ......"
Tang Chen muttered, but was glared at by Zhou Xuanying: "What are you talking about?"
"No, no, no, you continue, you continue......" Tang Chen knows that she is the biggest now, how dare she offend her?
"If my dad is really in a hurry, you can say that you still have a consulting industry......" Zhou Xuanying smiled slyly, and her eyes were full of cunning.
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "This ...... It's a lie, it's not good......"
"What's wrong, do as I say!" Zhou Xuanying said domineeringly, "When my dad asked you, you said that you are in the consulting industry, there are several branches, and you yourself are the chairman and CEO, specializing in helping customers deal with crises." There are more than 40 employees in the whole company, and there are only 15 people in the property management company, plus the aunt who cleans every day, and the landlord of the store, all of whom receive money from you......"
"Wow, this cowhide is a bit big...... Tang Chen was a little scared, "It's okay for me to say that, but if your father has to come to Panzhou to take a look at my 'industry', what should I do?"
"Stupid, you won't find a few friends, or just open a branch. You can't make too much money if you guard a magic weapon shop, right?" Zhou Xuanying looked calculated, and Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and he had to admire. In the past half a year, Zhou Xuanying has completely broadened her horizons, and her work has been leaky. In contrast, in addition to Tang Chen's achievements in feng shui, his growth is really not as good as her.
"No wonder everyone says that the platform is very important, and if you work hard alone, you can't get as good as a group after all......," Tang Chen thought in his heart.
"If my dad asks about your house, you will say that the house in the city is a bit expensive and narrow, and you have a villa of more than 500 square meters in the suburbs. As for the car, I haven't planned it for the time being, because I don't know what kind of car I like......" Zhou Xuanying said one by one, making Tang Chen head and two big.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, listen to me, we are conspiring to deceive your parents, right?" Tang Chen still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"How can it be considered a fraud?" Zhou Xuanying looked like a wisdom bead in her hand, "Your feng shui industry can be regarded as a consulting industry, right? It specializes in helping customers solve crises, right? You really have a villa, right? You really don't have a car, right? This is all a fact, how can it be considered a fraud? Except for a few branches and employees who exaggerate a little, I didn't teach you to lie at all!"
After a pause, Zhou Xuanying continued: "If you don't say that, don't think about my father's pass, let alone marry me." If it gets to that point, I won't elope with you, how to choose, you can measure it yourself, hum!"
