The car slowly arrived at a villa. Led by the servants, Yang Qi and his party came to a garden nearby. In the garden, an old man was drinking tea and reading a newspaper. This man was the helmsman of the Li Group, Li Dongying.
When Li Dongying was young, his family was not wealthy, so he started working at a very young age to support himself. He tried many jobs, and finally he built the huge Li Group with his own hands from scratch.
"Xiao Tang, you're here. Sit down and have a cup of tea with me." The old man smiled and said when he saw Tang Xinjie. While he was speaking, a servant came over with a teapot.
"Grandpa Li." Tang Xinjie said respectfully.
"Don't be so polite. Actually, your grandfather and I are old friends. It's just that I fled to Hong Kong and haven't seen each other for many years." Li Dongying said slowly, as if recalling something that happened decades ago.
The Li family and the Su family were old friends, but that was more than half a century ago. At that time, the Li family fled to Hong Kong and had lost contact. Even when Tang Xinjie's grandfather passed away, he didn't know that Li Dongying was still alive. Later, it was Su Peng's generation who rekindled the friendship with Li Dongying.
But so many years have passed, and Tang Xinjie's grandfather is no longer around. The so-called old friendship between the two parties is just a verbal title. At their level, no one would restrict themselves because of the title of old friendship.
"Grandpa Li, actually this time we came to..." Tang Xinjie took a sip of tea before speaking.
"Let's not talk about business today." Li Dongying said lightly. Although his voice was not loud, it gave people an attitude that could not be refused. This is the power of a superior.
As the helmsman of the Li family, what Li Dongying says is no less powerful than an imperial edict. The power he has accumulated over the years is not something that ordinary people can contend with.
"Okay then." Tang Xinjie could only smile bitterly upon seeing this. They had carefully prepared a lot of things needed for the negotiations, but they didn't expect that Li Dongying's words would make all their previous preparations go to waste.
"How about this tea?" Li Dongying couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
"Not bad." Tang Xinjie said. Although she was not very knowledgeable about tea tasting, she could still tell the good from the bad.
“Young man, don’t be impatient. If the beef brisket is not stewed long enough, it will not only not be flavorful but also difficult to chew. Now that I’m old, I might have eaten it in the past, but now, it still needs to be stewed long enough.” Li Dongying said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa Li, for your advice." Tang Xinjie was stunned. She knew that Li Dongying was using the beef brisket as an excuse to talk about doing business. He meant to tell her that one should not be impatient when doing business and let others know one's true colors.
"How could I give you any advice? I'm just getting old." Li Dongying smiled indifferently, then his eyes swept over Chen Liang and others beside him, and finally fell on Yang Qi.
However, the old man's gaze only lingered on Yang Qi for a moment before he looked away.
"Girl, look at where I am, is there anything different?" Li Dongying pointed to the garden and said with a smile.
garden
Following Li Dongying's pointing, Tang Xinjie was slightly stunned. At first glance, she didn't feel there was anything different, but after observing it herself, she found that there were several ornaments that should not belong to the garden, but they actually appeared in the garden and fit in perfectly with the surrounding environment.
"Feng Shui Bureau?" Tang Xinjie couldn't help but ask, thinking of what Su Peng once said to her.
"It's nothing special to see this. Anyone who knows me well can tell me." Li Dongying smiled and shook his head, obviously not very satisfied with Tang Xinjie's answer.
In Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, metaphysics has developed without interruption, and the wealthy here are also very fond of Feng Shui, which can be seen from the worship of gods before the filming of movies. You should know that there was no such saying in the mainland at the beginning, and the worship of gods before the filming was introduced from Hong Kong.
There are many wealthy people in Hong Kong who like Feng Shui theory, and Li Dongying is one of them. He is a firm believer in Feng Shui theory.
Therefore, it is not strange that there is a Feng Shui arrangement in his residence. Generally, anyone who knows him a little bit knows this.
Hearing Li Dongying's words, Tang Xinjie's face changed. How would she know what Feng Shui was, let alone see the Feng Shui in front of her? After all, she herself did not believe in the theory of Feng Shui.
Chen Liang and a few others on the side were also at a loss. They also knew nothing about Feng Shui. They never expected that Li Dongying would suddenly raise such a question.
"Mountains control population, water controls wealth. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a feng shui arrangement that means a prosperous population." Just as everyone was thinking hard, a sudden voice sounded in the garden.
Hearing this, Li Dongying was stunned, and then looked at Yang Qi and asked, "Why do you think so?"
“This villa has three protruding spires, like three peaks of a mountain range. Although there is a pool in the garden, the water in the pool does not flow out, but flows in. Surrounded by mountains and water, it is like a jade belt across the waist, which means that both population and wealth will be prosperous.” Yang Qi said lightly.
The so-called Feng Shui Bureau is actually a formation, and it is a simple formation. The real formation is not difficult to change the world, and the general Feng Shui Bureau is just taking advantage of the situation. Although there is no record of Feng Shui in the inheritance of Emperor Haoyang, with Yang Qi's strength and vision, he can see the effect of this Feng Shui Bureau at a glance.
Li Dongying nodded slightly. This Feng Shui layout for prosperity of both population and wealth was not difficult to see. Anyone who knew something about Feng Shui could see it. A simple Feng Shui layout for prosperity of both population and wealth? Li Dongying didn't think much of it.
“This layout of prosperity in both population and wealth is just a small Feng Shui layout. The really amazing thing is that the person who set it up was able to integrate this Feng Shui layout with the Feng Shui layout of the entire mid-mountain area. The effect of one plus one is more than just two.” Yang Qi suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, a trace of horror flashed across Li Dongying's eyes. Indeed, the Feng Shui layout in the villa was nothing special, and the Feng Shui layout in the mid-mountain area was also nothing special, but if the two could be combined, the effect would be extraordinary.
"I didn't expect that there is such a capable person around the girl. This time it's me who has been laughed at." Li Dongying looked at Yang Qi deeply and sighed.
"Grandpa Li, you're too kind." Tang Xinjie came back to her senses and said hurriedly.
Even she was a little confused by Yang Qi's Feng Shui theory. She never knew that Yang Qi actually knew Feng Shui. After all, in her opinion, these things were just lies.
"Master, why don't you come out and negotiate with them in person?" Looking at Yang Qi and his group leaving, a thin old man next to Li Dongying asked.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I can help them temporarily, but I can't help them forever." Li Dongying's eyes shone with wisdom. (To be continued)
