After successfully sending Rong Jing back to the downstairs of the community, Xun Hao got out of the car to help Rong Jing take out the suitcase, and then watched Rong Jing's figure disappear in the corridor of the community before turning the car around and slowly leaving.
Compared to before he joined the group, the interior of the community didn't seem to have changed much. It was just that the weather was getting warmer, and the snow that had accumulated had melted a lot, and a lot of fresh green appeared in the flower beds along the sidewalks.
Rong Jing pulled the suitcase and walked slowly on the path. From time to time, he could hear the sounds of old people or children playing, which brought a rare sense of peace and tranquility.
When he returned home, Rong Jing went to see the broad-leaved orchid that he had previously kept in a pot.
Perhaps Grandma Li and Xiaohui had just watered the plant, so the soil in the pot was still moist. Rong Jing bent down and moved the pot of broad-leaved orchid to the place in front of the corridor window where the sun was shining in. He looked at it for a few seconds before taking out the key and turning around to open the door.
Because of the dust-repellent talisman, even though Rong Jing had been away for nearly a month, there was not a speck of dust in the room.
Rong Jing put down the suitcase, then walked over and opened the curtains of the living room.
The orange sunlight shines in, bringing a hint of warmth.
With a "ding~" sound, the cell phone rang.
Rong Jing retracted his gaze, took out his cell phone and took a look.
Xie Xuanqing: Has Mr. Rong arrived home?
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat peeking out.GIF]
The little orange cat with a cream-colored face peeked out from the corner of the wall stealthily. Rong Jing looked at this inexplicably cute expression and thought of Xie Xuanqing's face. He couldn't help but exclaim: "..."
After a pause, Rong Jing turned around and sat on the sofa, and replied: "Yeah, I'm back."
Xie Xuanqing: It’s good that you’re back.
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat kiss.jpg]
Because Rong Jing contacted Xun Hao in advance to pick him up from the crew, Xie Xuanqing did not send Yue Feng over.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his phone with an unfathomable expression. The aura around him was so oppressive that people couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Sir?" Yue Feng stepped forward and called out cautiously.
Even though Xie Xuanqing seemed very easy to talk to with a smile in front of Master Rong Tian, the fact was that he was not called the devil of the business world for nothing. Yue Feng had followed Xie Xuanqing for nearly five years, and sometimes he would still feel frightened when he saw his expressionless face.
But it was precisely because Xie Xuanqing's mind was deep enough and his methods were sharp enough that he was able to fight his way out of the group of wolves, tigers and leopards and completely control the huge Xie Group.
Xie Xuan responded calmly and raised his head slightly: "Are those two still outside?"
Yue Feng lowered his head even lower. As a secretary and assistant, he had heard a little about the mess in his boss's family. When he heard Xie Xuanqing's question, he replied, "...Yes. Madam Xie and Young Master Xie said that they must meet you today."
"Yes." Xie Xuanqing heard this, his expression did not change at all, "Then let them continue to wait."
Yue Feng: "...Okay, sir."
Shaking his head at the mother and son, Yue Feng walked out of the office, called another secretary, and whispered a few words to him.
"Is Xie Xuanqing still busy?" A handsome young man with a slightly feminine appearance sat on the soft leather sofa and asked with a frown.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Xie, but Mr. Xie is still busy." The secretary said with a smile.
The young man whom she called "Young Master Xie" unconsciously showed a hint of impatience on his face when he heard this, but he quickly restrained himself and said, "Okay, tell him to hurry up. Also, what's wrong with your coffee? Change it for me."
Secretary: "I'm sorry, Master Xie, the company only has instant coffee. Maybe I can get you a cup of tea instead?"
As for what he mentioned about urging Xie Xuanqing to come out to see her as soon as possible, the secretary selectively ignored it.
Xie Xuanzhong could hear the perfunctory tone in the other party's words, but just as he was about to get angry, his sleeve was gently pulled by the fashionable lady sitting next to him.
Xie Xuanzhong suppressed his temper, but his expression still looked a little bad: "Okay, that's enough."
Picking up the cup of slightly cold coffee and taking a sip, Xie Xuanzhong frowned even more tightly and put the cup down again as if he couldn't bear it anymore.
The secretary didn't seem to notice his disgusted look, and the smile on her face remained unchanged. Seeing that they didn't seem to have any other questions, she checked the time and said, "President Xie has another meeting next. If you two don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first."
The secretary said this and without waiting for the two to react, he bent down and walked out.
The meeting room suddenly became quiet.
Xie Xuanzhong looked at the prosperous and heavy Xie office building, and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.
If it weren't for his grandfather's partiality, the Xie family wouldn't have been completely controlled by Xie Xuanqing, and he wouldn't have to bow his head and ask Xie Xuanqing for help at this time.
Isn't he a descendant of Xie? !
The more Xie Xuanzhong thought about it, the more sick he felt, and the expression on his face became uglier.
Mrs. Xie also felt that Xie Xuanqing's attitude was too much, but they came here this time to ask Xie Xuanqing to help Xie Xuanzhong. Even if they had resentment in their hearts, they could not show it too obviously.
"Xiao Zhong, when you see your brother later, don't show that expression." Madam Xie reached out and gently patted the back of Xie Xuanzhong's hand, saying earnestly, "No matter what, we have to deal with that matter first."
Xie Xuanzhong: "...I understand."
Although he said that his grandfather was partial, in fact, when Grandpa Xie passed away, the things he gave to his two sons were the same. It was just that Xie Er was idle and followed others to gamble outside Hong Kong. As a result, his shares were taken over by Xie Xuanqing's father.
Later, Xie Xuanqing's father also died. Xie Er's family even planned to take over the entire Xie Group. However, Xie Xuanqing was completely different from his good-natured father. His methods were sharp and decisive. In just a few years, he cleared out all the people planted in Xie Group by Uncle Xie Er and held all the power.
Since Second Uncle Xie lost the game, he could only live a rich and idle life. Xie Xuanqing did not covet Xie's annual dividends, and always transferred them to their accounts on time.
It's just that people are always greedy. The more they get, the more they want.
Xie Xuanzhong used the dividends to invest in several businesses, but he didn't know what problems the holiday villa he opened had. Guests had been dying suddenly during this period, and many people cancelled their orders after hearing about it. It was clearly the peak tourist season, but now the entire holiday villa was so deserted that there was hardly a single person to be seen.
It’s not like Xie Xuanzhong hasn’t invited so-called heavenly masters to take a look, but those heavenly masters would just shake their heads after looking at it, and some even sneered at him. They were totally out of their minds!
However, after the guests who died suddenly reported to the police and underwent autopsies, nothing unusual was found. It was simply said that the cerebral blood vessels had ruptured due to excessive excitement. The police suspected that there might be something illegal set up in the holiday villa, but after checking, they found nothing unusual and evacuated.
But such a situation is undoubtedly very tricky for Xie Xuanzhong, especially after the holiday villa had no customers, his cash flow became a little unsightly, and several other industries also encountered many crises as a result.
...I can only ask Xie Xuanqing for some money to get through this stage.
Madam Xie advised him carefully. Xie Xuanzhong was a little angry at first, but after hearing the end, he fell silent, with a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.
"I understand, mother." Xie Xuanzhong held Mrs. Xie's hand with his backhand, "I will talk to my cousin properly later."
Hearing this, Second Madam Xie slowly smiled and said, "Don't be sad, Xiaozhong. Your father said that one day, Xie's will be ours."
Xie Xuanqing had the fate of a star of misfortune, and he might even kill himself one day, Second Madam Xie thought viciously.
Xie Xuanzhong also smiled.
Their idea was good, but after sitting in the conference room for two or three hours, two secretaries came in to change their coffee, but Xie Xuanqing was still nowhere to be seen.
Xie Xuanzhong was a little impatient. When the secretary opened the door again, he couldn't help but ask coldly: "It's been three hours, and Xie Xuanqing still doesn't have time to see us?"
The secretary reached out and placed two cups of coffee on the table, still apologetically saying, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Xie is very busy today..."
I really don't have time to see you two right now.
The head of the Xie family, who was described by the secretary as being very busy with his work, was currently opening WeChat with a serious expression, looking for something.
Yue Feng walked in and reported the news handed up by the people below. Xie Xuanqing withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's rare for them to be so patient."
At first glance, these words sounded like a kind of intimate whisper. However, Yue Feng looked at Xie Xuan's solemn expression and silently lowered his head.
That young master of the Xie family is really brave.
"Since they are so patient, they probably won't mind waiting a little longer." Xie Xuanqing put down his phone, then picked up the document Yue Feng had sent earlier and looked down at it. "Ask the person in charge of the business department to come over."
It was not until the evening when he got off work that Xie Xuanqing remembered the mother and son who were still sitting in the conference room.
"Is there anything wrong?" Although Xie Xuanqing had his reasons for disliking the mother and son, he had actually worked hard all day today, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
It's just that he is tall, and when he looks at people with a cold look, he has an aura of majesty without even being angry, which makes people unable to help but retreat.
Pulling his tie, Xie Xuanqing asked again.
Xie Xuan came back to his senses and was about to shout "Xie Xuanqing" when he remembered what his mother had said to him before.
Xie Xuan suppressed his annoyance at being left out for so long and smiled again: "Cousin, what are you talking about? Can't we look for you if there's nothing wrong?"
Carefully observing Xie Xuanqing's expression, Xie Xuanzhong said, "But I do have something today that I would like to ask my cousin for help..."
After briefly explaining the matter of the holiday villa, Xie Xuanzhong asked, "So, could you please lend me 200 million yuan to slow down the cash flow?"
"Not impossible." The air conditioning in the conference room was turned up higher than outside. Xie Xuanqing took off his suit jacket and said calmly, "Have you prepared the contract? What about the plan?"
Xie Xuanzhong was speechless.
Although nominally it was a loan, in reality, it was only 200 million yuan. Xie Xuanzhong didn't believe that if he pretended to forget about it, Xie Xuanqing would still chase him for it.
However, although their idea was very good, Xie Xuanqing did not follow the rules at all. He just followed the business rules and asked him for the next plan and the loan contract.
Xie Xuanzhong: "... What do you mean by that, cousin? Do you think I won't pay you back if I borrow money from you?"
Xie Xuan lightly lifted his eyelids and suddenly smiled: "Who knows."
Although they are both descendants of the Xie family, Xie Xuanqing is obviously much more handsome than Xie Xuanzhong. When he smiles at this moment, he has an amazing charm that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Xie Xuan took a deep breath, then couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Since you want money from Xie Group, then hand over the plan first." Xie Xuanqing stood up, "Otherwise, everyone will ask for 200 million, and Xie Group will not have to continue."
After he said that, he turned and left. Xie Xuanzhong and the other person who remained in the meeting room were so angry that they gritted their teeth. They endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but smashed all the cups and tea sets on the table to the ground.
"Xie Xuanqing, Xie Xuanqing!" Xie Xuanzhong said fiercely, "You forced me to do this..."
Xie Xuanqing didn't care what happened later in the conference room.
After hearing from his assistant about what Xie Xuanzhong and the other had done, Xie Xuanqing just responded calmly and hung up the phone.
It's not that he is born cold-hearted and ruthless, but in the few years when he took over the Xie family, he received too much "kindness" from Second Uncle Xie, so much that... he could only return it double to be worthy of the other party's kindness.
Sitting in the car, Xie Xuan lightly recalled Rong Jing's reminder that the weather was getting hot recently. After thinking about it, he sent an email to the project manager in the east of the city.
Although the project manager had some doubts about the direct order from his boss, he still added a lot of safety inspection steps.
As a result, less than a week later, a fire almost broke out at the commercial plaza under construction. A few ruffian youths who came from nowhere hid in a pile of steel bars and concrete, and poured a lot of gasoline on the building under the cover of night.
If the project manager had not been prepared, and the additional security inspectors had not noticed that the smell here was not right and called the security guards over to control the group of young people, no one knows what the consequences would have been in the end.
It didn't seem like those hooligans were committing crimes randomly, so the project manager contacted the police to take them away, and then he quickly called Yue Feng.
After receiving the news from below, Xie Xuanqing's eyes darkened slightly: "I know."
"Ask the Security Department to keep an eye on this. As for the arson this time..." Xie Xuan tapped the table with his fingertips. "Did the police find out anything?"
In fact, Xie Xuanqing suspected that it was Xie Xuanzhong's work. After rejecting the other party's request to borrow 200 million yuan last week, Xie Xuanzhong has not come to Xie's again.
Xie Xuanqing vaguely heard that he seemed to be trying to sell off other businesses to recover funds.
It’s just... a holiday villa. The normal profit is not that high. Why is Xie Xuanzhong so determined to keep it?
Xie Xuan lowered his eyes, thought about it, and decided to ask someone to check it out.
Although many people knew that the relationship between the patriarch of the Xie family and the second branch was not very good, from the outside world's perspective, they all had the surname Xie, and if Xie Xuan really did something illegal, the entire Xie family would be implicated in the end.
After dealing with these things, Xie Xuanqing finally had time to open WeChat and take a look.
During this period, the contact between him and Rong Jing was not much, but also quite a lot.
Perhaps Rong Jing himself did not notice it, but Xie Xuanqing could feel that the other party's attitude seemed to have softened a little.
Xie Xuan smiled slightly and moved his fingertips lightly.
Xie Xuanqing: ...There was almost a fire in the east of the city yesterday.
Xie Xuanqing: Fortunately, Mr. Yourong gave me some advice in advance.
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat bites its tail.gif]
Rong Jing, who happened to open his phone and saw these messages, said: "..."
I don’t know where Xie Xuanqing found the emoticon package, but there is always one following the message he sends.
Rong Jing frowned, but still replied for the sake of the cute cat.
Rong Jing: Yeah.
He also glanced at Xie Xuan casually at that time.
Probably due to the luck of the year, the other party has been bitten by some villains recently, and the sign of losing money should be in the fire bureau. Combining with Xie Xuanqing's fate, it is not difficult to infer what the problem is.
But even if Rong Jing hadn't reminded him of this, Xie Xuanqing wouldn't have suffered much loss in the end.
His evil aura is indeed full of the words "lonely" and "alone", but there are gains and losses. His luck in power and career is very good, and there is even a hint of turning misfortune into good fortune.
Rong Jing calculated subconsciously, until the hexagram plate showed signs of falling apart again, he suddenly came to his senses.
I don't know when, he actually mixed Xie Chong's horoscope into it. The two diametrically opposed fates hovered in the hexagram plate, repelling each other, as if there was no connection at all.
Rong Jing lowered his eyes and looked for a while, then reached out and gently wiped off the hexagram on it.
He stayed at home for a few days, and Xun Hao sent him the selected scripts the day before yesterday. Rong Jing flipped through them casually and found that there were two scripts among them, which were probably about similar roles because of his previous performance in "Record of Heavenly Master".
In other scripts, one is the second male lead in a costume fantasy drama, and the other is the male lead in a modern idol drama.
To be fair, these scripts are actually quite good, otherwise Xun Hao would not have handed them to Rong Jing.
But after Rong Jing took a look, he couldn't say that he particularly liked it.
He has now acted in two TV series. Although he is still a layman, he has developed the ability to choose roles.
Most of the roles he was invited to play were based on his image, but the scripts all had some emotional entanglements.
Rong Guoshi, who was emotionally indifferent and had never had close contact with any woman in his life: "..."
In addition to these scripts, the last script was sent from a low-budget movie.
Xun Hao originally didn't intend to include it in the list of candidates, because this movie is not only a low-budget movie, but the role invitation sent by the other party to Rong Jing is also not right -
Do you think it's reasonable to invite a great Taoist priest to play a fierce ghost?
But the script was truly amazing. Even though the ending was a bit cheesy, Xun Hao guessed that it was probably just for the sake of passing the review.
Putting this aside, the plot design of the entire script is still good.
So after hesitating for a while, Xun Hao finally put it at the bottom.
If Rong Jing was interested in other scripts first, then he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Rong Jing opened the script and looked at it for a while.
There is no doubt that many of the designs about evil spirits in the script are full of errors and omissions for a Taoist priest like Rong Jing.
But the whole script is indeed as Xun Hao said, with some extremely amazing aspects.
As the saying goes, a flaw does not outweigh the merits. This script may seem a bit rough at first glance, but its highlights are also very prominent.
When he had read half of the script, the obsession belonging to the original owner deep in his consciousness reacted.
Rong Jing's mind moved, and he suppressed the obsession that was struggling again. Then he read the script with a more serious attitude.
After watching for a while, there were suddenly several knocks on the door.
Rong Jing frowned slightly, stood up and found the tea he had put away earlier, pressed the boil water button on the kettle, and went to open the door.
"Long time no see, Master Rong." The person standing outside the door was none other than Ji Yuben himself, who had been infected with the death Gu and had his vitality and luck taken away by the life-changing formation. He came to seek help from Rong Jing.
Maybe his career developed well afterwards, and he looks much better now than he did back then.
He was wearing a silver-gray suit that was well-fitting and low-key. His hair was a little gray but still very luxuriant. His drooping cheeks regained their fullness. Ji Yucheng looked at the young man who almost gave him a second life, with a hint of deep gratitude in his eyes and a respectful attitude.
There were a few assistant bodyguards following behind him. Rong Jing glanced at them casually and stepped aside: "Come in and talk."
Ji Yucheng responded, and then walked into this small but mysterious house with some restraint.
Putting the gift box aside, Ji Yucheng took the tea handed to him by Rong Jing, lowered his head and took a sip, then briefly mentioned what happened after Rong Jing came back.
Without the threat of the Death Gu and the Life-changing Formation, Ji Yucheng's health was naturally getting worse day by day. The capital chain that was about to break also stopped after the Xie Group injected capital.
"Later, we received several projects from the high-tech base. Although they took a long time, the profits were good."
With sufficient financial support, Ji Yucheng can focus more on developing the ethnic ecological tourism park.
"Granny Yang hasn't appeared since that day. I sent people to Nanming Village to inquire about her, and they said she suddenly fell ill and couldn't get up." Speaking of Granny Yang, Ji Yucheng didn't know what to think.
Not only did the other party put a fatal poison on him, he also placed a lot of poisonous insects in the National Ecological Tourism Park. Ji Yucheng naturally would not like such a person, but when he thought that the other party was deceived and did such a thing, he couldn't help but sigh for a moment.
Rong Jing was not surprised why Granny Yang fell ill.
The Gu Master and the Gu worms she raises are one and the same. Rong Jing chopped the fatal Gu that she had planted on Ji Yucheng into pieces, and she then forcibly took back the Gu worms in the tourist park. With the imbalance of Yin energy, her old body naturally couldn't bear it.
However, Ji Yucheng only mentioned it casually. The main purpose of his coming here today was still related to the ethnic ecological tourism park.
"The tourist park was completed a few days ago, but the sacrificial stone is still there and has not been moved. I came here this time to ask Master Rong if you are free next time. If possible, can you help preside over the ceremony?" Ji Yucheng said respectfully.
It is not impossible to ask other heavenly masters for help, but after experiencing the incident with the life-changing array, Ji Yucheng now feels that no heavenly master is as reliable as Rong Jing!
