An Rugu's brows furrowed deeper as he heard this. He had come into contact with that Si Ling before. He was a foreigner, but he was gentle, well-spoken, and knew his country's culture very well. It was pleasant to get along with him, but he didn't expect that there was more behind the scenes.
"Where is that building?"
The little girl said truthfully: "I saw the sign when I was leaving. It looked like the Dream Chasing Real Estate Company."
An Rugu took out her phone and searched for Dream Chasing Real Estate on the browser. The search results quickly popped up. Dream Chasing Real Estate Company was headquartered in the capital, and it was quite large, making it one of the top companies in Beijing.
The company building is very tall, with several hundred floors, and is a famous high-rise building in Beijing. Compared with the dozens of floors of buildings next to it, it stands out from the crowd and is as high-end as it can be.
What’s special is that the building has a pointed top that shines brightly in the sunlight. From a distance, it looks like an opened sword, making it inviolable.
As a national capital and a world metropolis, the capital's every move touches people's hearts. The Dream Building is particularly tall and once ranked first. There are many discussions about this company building on the Internet.
[Last time I went to Beijing on a business trip, I passed by the Dream Building, the tallest building in the capital. My god, it was so high that I felt like an ant when I passed by it! I couldn’t even look directly at the building! ]
[To be honest, Dream Building is not the No. 1 building in the capital. It was 20 years ago. But five years ago, Capital Global Trade was completed and took away the throne of Dream Building. Don't be influenced by it. ]
[This may not be your problem, but the problem of this building. Chasing dreams to make it high-end, they put so many glass windows. It is beautiful, but it has caused light pollution. And you can see that the tip looks like a sword. I once stared at the building for a long time and felt a pain in my heart, as if it was pierced by someone. I really don’t know who this designer is. Come out and get beaten! ]
[I think this design is great. Don’t you know that this design has won an international award? Kudos to the designer!]
When everyone was arguing about the tallest building in the capital, a reply caught An Rugu's attention: [I work at Dream Chaser, and I can tell you that Dream Chaser is a domestic company on the surface, and the bosses are all Chinese, but there are many shareholders from the White Country, so the design of the building is closely related to the White Country. The design principle of this building is not a sword, but a snake's fang! Don't you notice that the top of this building has a curve? ]
As soon as this reply came out, many people suddenly realized: [No wonder, our country uses the dragon as a totem, their country uses the snake as a totem, and nobles wear snake teeth as a symbol of nobility. The designer must have some skills. ]
[I have to say, this little snake tooth is really unique! ]
[I checked the company's shares and it is true that DreamChaser has foreign investment. Now that economic globalization is in full swing, many foreign businessmen come to invest in our country. Belarusians have invested in many companies in our country, DreamChaser is one of them. Belarusians invested in DreamChaser real estate in Beijing and spent a huge amount of money to build the tallest building. It is simply inhumane. ]
[Can the white people take a look at the mall? We also want to own a building, we are about to cry! ]
[White Country merchants, please take a look at South City. The kids next door are crying with envy! ]
Foreigners were generous, which made everyone very envious. The more An Rugu read the information, the more she felt something was wrong, especially when she saw a picture of the Dream Chasing Building at night.
In the neon dim light of the city, the Dream Chasing Building seems to have transformed into a poisonous snake, with the tip of its teeth pointing to the sky, as if swallowing the sky and the earth, giving people a creepy feeling.
"I see. Thank you."
An Rugu took back his phone, thanked the Dream-Eating Tapir and the others, then left the room and sent a message to Zhang Tianshi and the others.
Zhang Tianshi did not reply to the text message, but called directly.
An Rugu pressed the dial button, and Zhang Tianshi's somewhat annoyed voice came from the other end: "Are you asking about the Dream Chasing Building? That place is really amazing. I haven't seen such an unlucky place in 800 years. If it weren't for permission, I really want to drive an excavator to flatten it."
An Rugu rarely saw Zhang Tianshi so angry, and was curious: "What's going on?"
"I don't know much about Feng Shui, so I can't explain it to you in detail. I'll start a video conference, get those old guys on board, and let them explain it to you."
Zhang Tianshi hung up the phone, set up a video conference, and invited the leaders of many Feng Shui schools, including Xuankong Taoist of Jinsuo Yuguan.
When he knew An Rugu's purpose, he sighed and said in an unfathomable manner, "Don't mention this outside. We tell you, don't tell anyone outside."
"This building doesn't look abnormal on the surface, but Feng Shui emphasizes both the details and the whole. About 20 years ago, when the news came out that a building would be built as the first in the capital, we were very happy. But when we saw the design drawings, we felt something was wrong."
"You may not be familiar with the map of the capital, so why not open the map and see where the Dream Chaser Building is facing."
An Rugu was from the south city and seldom went to the capital, so she was not familiar with the layout of the capital. So she followed his instructions and opened the map on her phone.
His sight extended in the direction of the top of the Dream Chasing Building. After a while, his eyes paused and his pupils shrank slightly: "This is... the Capital Financial Center."
"Yes." Taoist Xuankong sighed again: "When the country was founded, the Capital Financial Center was the largest department store. Later, the department store was demolished and the government invested in building the Capital Financial Center. The floors are very high and it looks very modern."
Although An Rugu was not in Beijing, he had heard of the title of the Capital's Financial Center. This financial center was located in the Second Ring Road, and now, the area nearby had become the highest-end business district in the entire city.
After hearing this, An Rugu understood and said in a cold voice: "They built this building to kill us with one blow!"
"Yes." Taoist Xuankong nodded in response and said angrily: "After this building is completed, it will surpass the capital's financial center. The size of the venomous snake will be much larger than the financial center, forming an amazing dragon-slaying pattern."
"Because the financial center condenses the capital's business, these foreign businessmen want to snatch the capital's business through the venomous snake. They are simply despicable! They are willing to risk their lives just to make money."
Even though he was calm and composed, he was somewhat shocked by the news: "How can the emperor allow these people to work under his feet?"
They are so brave...
At this time, the seniors in the video conference recalled the past with dejected faces: "Alas, when the design drawings first came out, many people opposed it, especially those of us who are good at Feng Shui. But the leaders at the time thought it was feudal superstition..."
“And they have a lot of connections. While we were still protesting, the building was already under construction. There was really nothing we could do to stop it.”
"The Special Management Bureau is a new department. If it had been established earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
An Rugu narrowed his eyes. Once upon a time, metaphysics was called feudal superstition and was not supported. On one side were countless job opportunities, and on the other side were illusory feudal superstitions. Everyone knew that they should grasp the real things.
At this time, Taoist Xuankong changed the subject and comforted her: "But you don't have to worry. After the construction of this building, first the employees fell ill one after another, then there were frequent traffic accidents in the surrounding area, and finally even the employees of the financial building opposite had problems. At that time, our country established a special management bureau, and after an investigation, it was found that this building is indeed ominous, with aggressive and destructive shapes."
"We Feng Shui experts worked together with the Special Management Bureau to renovate the building and set up a Feng Shui formation inside to dispel the evil spirits. Now there are no more evil spirits."
An Rugu felt relieved when she heard this: "Then I feel relieved."
Many Xuanmen people recalled this incident and were very happy: "When we pointed this out to them, they said it was a coincidence and that we didn't let them build the building because we looked down on their culture. That's right, I looked down on their culture, it was all stolen from our country!"
"Those little bastards wanted to cause trouble in our country, but they were foiled. I don't know how angry they were."
However, at this time, An Rugu said: "I have news here. Some people say that there is something wrong with the foreign delegation that visited our country before. Especially the group from the White Country. They went to the Dream Chasing Building."
After she said this, many people were not panicked but happy instead.
As for the mastermind behind the Dream Chasing Building, they generally thought it was a wealthy businessman with evil intentions who wanted to steal the business fortune. The Dream Master Association where Si Ling worked was equivalent to the Special Management Bureau of their country. It was a legitimate and clean organization. How could it be related to these people!
"Si Ling from the Dream Master Association? He is a responsible person. I have dealt with him several times and I think he is a good person. Last time, someone stole a giant panda. It is not easy to enforce the law across borders. In the end, it was Si Ling who helped the people from the Special Management Bureau to go through the procedures."
"He probably wants to help us and sanction those businessmen who use shady means!"
If it was an ordinary foreigner, they would not feel anything. But Si Ling is of mixed blood, and he had lived in their country when he was a child. He admires Chinese culture very much and has a deep understanding of it. Being with him is like a spring breeze on your face, very comfortable.
Everyone had a very good impression of him. They felt that Si Ling was finally going to represent the association to punish those unscrupulous businessmen, and they all expressed their happiness.
An Rugu frowned. She had cultivated to a certain level, and her intuition became sharper and stronger. Si Ling looked fine, but she had a hunch that maybe this matter was not that simple.
Because intuition is a projection of the subconscious, she never ignores her intuition and says, "Didn't they say they wanted to go sightseeing? We are the host, so of course we have to do our best to be a good host."
Many people in the Xuanmen sect also thought: "They finally came to our country. It's not good to let them travel around on their own. They really need someone to lead them."
"I still remember the president pretending to be stupid, saying he knew nothing and that he didn't design the building, and asked me to find a designer. I have to ask Si Ling for an explanation and ask him to thoroughly investigate whether this president has any clean background or not."
"I want to go, too. The Feng Shui Bureau has been there for many years. The Special Management Bureau and we go to inspect it once a month, and now it's almost time for an inspection."
Everyone agreed immediately and called on everyone to go to the capital to ask Si Ling for an explanation. He must deal with those unscrupulous businessmen!
............
Capital Dream Building
The little zombie wanted to eat the special roast duck in the capital, so he asked to come with him, and An Rugu agreed. After all, he came to see Si Ling in the name of sightseeing, and it would be more friendly to bring a child with him.
The ginseng doll hugged An Rugu's thighs, looking at her with watery eyes, and also wanted to go to the capital to play.
An Rugu sighed, took the two children with her, and took a car to the capital.
She was worried that the ginseng doll would get lost on its first visit to Beijing, so she held it. The doll was soft and fleshy, with a fresh scent of grass and trees, which purified the leather smell in the car and made it smell especially fragrant.
Those who were present and knew the situation were all a little jealous and wished they could take his place.
Just smelling the fragrance of the ginseng doll makes you feel refreshed, not to mention holding the doll every day, how wonderful it would be! It is simply an enjoyment like an emperor.
Zhang Tianshi, who was standing next to him, wanted to hold the ginseng doll very much, and said kindly, "Little baby, come here and let grandpa hold you."
He is a descendant of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, belonging to the Zhengyi School, and can marry and have children, otherwise the Zhang family would not have lasted for so many generations. But when he was young, he liked to fight with people everywhere, and when he was old, he liked to "fight" with people on the Internet. He had no desire to marry or have children. So he never got married.
The ginseng doll looks like the dolls in New Year paintings. Before, there was a pilgrim passing by the Taoist temple who wanted to use the ginseng doll to shoot a children's commercial. Even Zhang Tianshi was surprised by it.
It wasn't that he wanted to inhale the fragrance, but the ginseng doll was so round, with arms like lotus roots, that he couldn't help but want to try it out.
It is a natural treasure, but due to its survival, it is timid and cowardly by nature, which is an instinct left in its genes. It looks very brave at ordinary times, but once it encounters trouble, it shrinks faster than anyone else.
When he was in the Taoist temple before, Ji Xing scared him several times. The ginseng doll burrowed directly into the soil and hid for a long time before daring to come out.
Seeing a few weird uncles staring at it, it hid in An Rugu's arms with a whoosh, shaking its head like a rattle: "No, no, you stink, you smell like sweat, and some of you have athlete's foot."
As a spirit of plants and trees, its nose is particularly sharp. My sister has a faint fragrance on her body, like a mountain breeze, which is particularly pleasant and makes it feel like it has returned to the mountains and forests.
Others: “…”
Everyone looked around at the same time, looking for the Taoist priest with athlete's foot.
The Taoist priest with athlete's foot quietly put away his shoes and wanted to curse in his heart.
What kind of nose is this? It’s more sensitive than a police dog!
It was the first time for the ginseng doll to ride in a car. He sat on my lap, clenched his little fists, and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window. He was very excited.
But when getting off the car, it was not so happy. It stretched out its hands and hugged her neck, shrinking its neck and said, "It smells so bad here."
An Rugu paused when she heard this: "What's wrong? I don't smell anything bad."
The capital used to have a serious smog problem, but after it was dealt with, and now that it’s spring, the air is pretty good and there’s no strange smell.
"I don't know. I just don't feel well."
It lowered its head and looked at the soil on the ground. After a glance, it quickly looked away: "It stinks. It smells terrible. Can you please not put me down? If I get stuck to this kind of soil, my roots will be damaged."
An Rugu could only put a mask on it that covered most of its face, patted its head, and took it into the Dream Chasing Building.
The office is very clean, spotless, with a tasseled crystal lamp hanging overhead and many English books placed behind. There are roses on the table and a faint floral scent in the air. Unlike ordinary companies, the environment is very good.
"Do you have an appointment?"
The receptionist smiled and handed over a company brochure.
"Got it." An Rugu took the brochure and prepared to say Si Ling's name.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in front.
The handsome man walked quickly to her and said gently, "I was very happy when you called me yesterday. I don't know anyone here and don't know where to go. It would be great to have locals like you to lead me."
When An Rugu and Si Ling met for the first time, the other party was very enthusiastic and left his phone number.
After deciding to visit the building, An Rugu made a special call to Si Ling. Instead of refusing, the other party agreed directly, as if he welcomed them very much.
