Chapter 40: The Real Person Takes Action
Chapter 40: Real Person Takes Action
The third floor of the office building faces north and south .
Come to the second to last room in the west corridor , which is the boss's office .
At the invitation of Boss Wei , Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli walked in and sat down on the leather sofa .
The office is not big , about 30 square meters , and is decorated quite exquisitely .
In addition to the high-end vermilion lacquer desk in the middle and the black leather sofa where Fang Yi and others were sitting against the wall on the left , there was also a calligraphy by the master of calligraphy and painting Fan Zeng hanging on the wall , which read " With diligence , nothing is difficult in the world ; with patience , there is peace and harmony in the hall . "
Through the glass window , you can see several pots of colorful flowers and bonsai on the small balcony outside .
It has a very artistic feel , which doesn't quite fit the image of Boss Wei as a big and strong man .
" Master Fang , would you like tea or a drink ? "
" Tea , please . "
" What about you , little girl ? "
" Just like my master . "
Boss Wei took out a can of tea from the cabinet in his desk and personally made tea for the two of them .
Soon , a pot of tea was ready .
Boss Wei poured tea and water for the master and apprentice , his face full of smiles . " Master , try the wild tea grown in the crevice of the rocks , which is unique to our Longmen Secret Scenic Area in Lin'an . "
" Thanks . "
" Thank you, Boss Wei . "
Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli each picked up the teacup and took a sip . Hmm , it tasted pretty good , with a rich aroma .
Boss Wei pulled out a cylindrical stool from under the coffee table and sat down across from Fang Yi , offering to introduce it . " Do n't be fooled by the name ' wild tea ' . It 's actually quite good , even better than Mingqian Longjing . I usually would n't serve it to anyone . "
The price was not mentioned , but anyone could hear the subtext , which was that the tea was very expensive , and it was a way of expressing respect for the other party .
I have to say that although Boss Wei looks like a reckless man , he actually has a lot of ulterior motives .
“ The aroma of tea is indeed overwhelming . ”
Fang Yi put down the teacup .
Xu Xiaoli also put down the cup and sat there obediently without talking or playing with her phone .
Boss Wei blinked and got straight to the point , saying , " Master , can't you help me with the feng shui ? "
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head , " I'm not suited to this . I 'm sorry to disappoint Boss Wei . "
Boss Wei began his financial offensive . " I know you 're a high- ranking official . When Master Cheng designed the feng shui for my factory , I gave him a 400,000 yuan red envelope . If you 're willing to help , regardless of success or failure , I 'll be deeply grateful . Okay ? "
Although the price was not stated explicitly , even Xu Xiaoli could understand that Boss Wei meant that he was willing to give Fang Yi a red envelope as big as the one he gave to Cheng Shan , which was 400,000 yuan .
Fang Yi still declined politely : " I'm sorry , I really can't interfere in this matter . "
Boss Wei , thinking he thought it was too little , smiled and raised the price again , saying , " Master Cheng respects you so much , I think two of them combined wouldn't be as good as you . Master , I sincerely ask for your help . Thank you for your help . "
One Master Cheng guarantees 400,000 yuan , so two Master Chengs would guarantee 800,000 yuan , right ?
Fang Yi naturally understood , but he still waved his hand and said clearly : " It 's not a question of money , it's that I ca n't do this . "
Boss Wei has such a big business that he can understand Fang Yi 's answer and knows that he can't continue to pester him .
He smiled and said , " I 'm sorry . I shouldn't have forced you . "
He didn't talk about it anymore , but just chatted with Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli for a few minutes .
Afterwards , Boss Wei stood up , apologized and left .
… …
Downstairs , next to the tree pond .
Zhu Changqing and Cheng Shan were squatting and discussing with frowns .
" Old Cheng , what brought you the idea of designing this jade belt around the waist ? You knew this piece of land was filled with evil spirits and should have found a way to circumvent them , but you cut corners and used red bud pearl podocarpus to suppress the evil spirits . I 'm really impressed . "
" Isn't it just a matter of being lazy ? I thought I 'd just suppress the evil spirit . And what 's wrong with a jade belt around the waist ? It's perfect for the feng shui of this land . But I never expected someone to be so disinterested as to water the money tree . How the hell is that a human thing to do ? "
Xiao Qin and Xiao Jin , who were standing with their backs to the office building entrance , were amused .
Zhu Changqing sighed and said , " Alas , it's a pity that the Immortal Master refused to take action . Otherwise, with his immense cultivation , would n't it be easy to expel the evil spirit ? "
Xiao Jin shook her ponytail and asked curiously , " Master , is Master Fang really that amazing ? "
" Oh , you're such an ignorant kid . " Zhu Changqing rolled his eyes and warned , " The Immortal Master holds the secrets of the universe within him . He's a truly enlightened being . In ancient times , such people were considered immortals , revered as imperial preceptors by the imperial court . Saying such things in front of me is fine , but never speak nonsense in front of the Immortal Master . "
Xiao Qin was also a little curious . " Master , I've heard you say that the Master has boundless magical powers . What amazing abilities does he have that you admire him so highly ? Please tell us . "
" Yes , Old Zhu , tell me about it . " Cheng Shan said with interest , " You just said that Master Fang had achieved enlightenment . How did you know he had ? "
Zhu Changqing hesitated for a moment , then said , " Okay , I 'll tell you about it. We've agreed beforehand that this ca n't be spread outside . "
" I know , I know . "
" Uncle Master , don't worry , we 'll keep this a secret . "
" Old Zhu , I 've known you for decades , and you 're still not confident in me ? "
The three of them were talking to each other .
" You really can't tell anyone . " Zhu Changqing warned again before saying , " You might not believe it , but that night half a month ago ... "
He told the story of how Fang Yi took him and Xu Xiaoli to travel across thousands of miles of lakes and the endless starry sky that night .
The three of them were stunned when they heard this .
Although they had heard Zhu Changqing say that Fang Yi was a true ancient immortal , they actually had no concrete idea .
But things are different now .
The stories Zhu Changqing told are simply incredible .
Especially when they heard that Fang Yi used water -based Taoist magic to condense a huge water dragon that soared into the sky , creating a feat that was " suspected of the Milky Way falling from the sky " , they were all shocked .
Finally , Zhu Changqing said meaningfully , " Now you understand how vast Master Fang's magical powers are , right ? So , do n't talk nonsense , or Master Fang will get angry and kill us twice ! "
Cheng Shan , Xiao Qin and Xiao Jin have been exposed to religious knowledge for many years , so they naturally understand what Zhu Changqing meant by " dying twice " .
It simply means that when the body dies once , the soul will die again .
According to Zhu Changqing's description , Fang Yi does have such great magical powers .
In an instant , he led Zhu Changqing and Xu Xiaoli to travel across thousands of miles of lakes and the endless starry sky .
With just a wave of his hands and feet, he created a miracle that looked like the Milky Way falling from the sky .
Is n’t it just possessing great magical powers !
The three masters and apprentices were secretly surprised by Fang Yi 's profound Taoist skills .
Suddenly , Boss Wei gasped behind him . " Master Zhu ... Master Zhu , is Master Fang ... Master Fang really that powerful and boundless ? Was that water dragon backlash incident that caused such a stir on TikTok a while ago actually caused by Master Fang ? "
Zhu Changqing , Cheng Shan and others did not expect that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation from behind , and they all frowned and turned their heads away .
Zhu Changqing 's expression was particularly grim . He said , " Boss Wei , just listen to these words . Do n't tell anyone else . If he gets upset , who knows how terrible things will happen ! "
" I certainly wouldn't dare say anything . " Boss Wei's forehead was covered in sweat . " It 's just ... it's just that I seem to have done something wrong . "
" What did you do wrong ? " Zhu Changqing asked nervously .
Boss Wei said with a sad face , " I paid Master Fang a lot of money to do my feng shui , but I do n't know if I 've offended him . What if he gets angry ? "
Cheng Shan nearly vomited blood , his eyes widening as he said , " Old Wei , how dare you ask a real person to spend money on this ? I ... I 'm really pissed off at you . I should have known better than to give you a hint ! "
" I thought Master Fang was just like those Taoist temple masters . They all threw money at me like that before , but who knew Master Fang was different ? " Boss Wei frantically turned around . " What do you think we should do if Master Fang gets angry ? Don't try to use your soul- binding technique to send me to the underworld again . "
Well , he is really superstitious .
Otherwise , I wouldn’t have spent a lot of money to ask Cheng Shan to arrange the feng shui layout .
Naturally , Boss Wei felt uneasy when he heard that Fang Yi possessed such amazing magical powers .
" Master Fang should n't be that stingy , " Zhu Changqing said calmly . " That night, Xiaoli and I were initially rude to him , but in the end , he did n't mind . Master Fang possesses the will of heaven and earth , so he wouldn't bother with us ordinary people . "
Boss Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief , then said with a puzzled look , " Hey , is n't that strange ? Master Fang was originally willing to help me with my feng shui , so why did he suddenly change his mind ? "
No one understands this question .
Cheng Shan encouraged Zhu Changqing and said , " Old Zhu , the evil spirit here is a bit special . Ordinary Podocarpus ca n't suppress it . Only the special Podocarpus like the Red Bud Pearl Podocarpus that can produce a strong aura of one yin and one yang can really suppress it . In fact , if it is just for this reason , the tree will be destroyed . At most, we can transplant another one . But this Red Bud Pearl Podocarpus is not only for suppressing evil spirits , it is also the core of my Feng Shui layout . I originally calculated the Feng Shui layout of the entire environment , such as what trees to plant in the factory and how many years they can grow to . Now that this Red Bud Pearl Podocarpus is destroyed , if I replace it with another Podocarpus with the same height , I can maintain the Feng Shui layout . But there is no way ." It can suppress the evil spirits . If we change to another Red Bud Pearl Arhat Tree , the Feng Shui pattern will be destroyed . That's why I asked you to help . You see, we 've been busy for a few days and still can't find a solution . You have a good relationship with Master Fang , so why don't you ask him for help ? "
Zhu Changqing hesitated and said , " Your Excellency does owe me a favor , but it 's being used here ... "
It was obvious that he was reluctant .
Cheng Shan also felt that it was a waste of Fang Yi 's favor to use it to help others arrange their feng shui layout .
So he thought of a workaround and said , " I 'm really at my wit's end . How about this ? I 'll go ask Master Fang for help , and you can play a bit of a game . This way , I don't have to use up your favor , and I'll still have a chance for Master Fang to make a move . "
Boss Wei said eagerly , " Master Zhu , please help me . I will never forget your kindness after this is accomplished . "
Both of them have reached this point .
Zhu Changqing could n't refuse , so he said , " Okay , I 'll just help to bring them together . Do n't expect me to ask for help . "
… …
In the office .
Fang Yi was chatting with Xu Xiaoli .
Suddenly , the office door was pushed open from the outside .
Zhu Changqing , Cheng Shan , Boss Wei and others walked in .
Fang Yi glanced at him but had no time to say hello .
Cheng Shan and Zhu Changqing walked up one after another .
" Master Fang , I really ca n't fix this feng shui layout , " Cheng Shan said pitifully . " Could you please help me solve this problem ... "
Before he came in, he had thought of a lot of words and wanted to ask Fang Yi for help .
Zhu Changqing, who was standing next to him , was also thinking about how to persuade Fang Yi to agree to help .
The same goes for Boss Wei . He is wondering whether to play the victim or use some other method .
But unexpectedly , Cheng Shan had not finished speaking .
Fang Yi agreed immediately , " Okay , I 'll help you with this . "
He naturally had his own plans . He was originally reluctant to take action because he was afraid of stealing Cheng Shan 's business . After all , doing so would not be very fair . Now that Cheng Shan said he was powerless and took the initiative to ask for help , he could take over legitimately and make Cheng Shan owe him a favor . In that case , why not agree ?
ah ?
You agreed so easily ?
Cheng Shan , Zhu Changqing and others looked at each other in surprise .
They really didn't expect it to be so easy .
I originally thought it would take some time to talk .
Although everyone was a little confused , they soon became excited .
Finally I have the chance to witness the magical powers of Master Fang, who has boundless magic power !
