Upon hearing the advice of the white-bearded, otherworldly Master Zhou, Mr. Li immediately became interested.
Feng shui is something that ordinary people can't see or touch, but if you could see two people who understand feng shui 'battling' each other, it would be much more exciting and intuitive.
"Master Zhou's suggestion is good. Since we are all experts in feng shui, we can find out who is better by comparing our skills. There is no need to waste words!"
Upon hearing what Mr. Li said, Mr. Liu, who had just walked over, looked rather displeased.
I came here with good intentions to give them advice, why are they taking advantage of my kindness?
He had already used personal connections to keep Mr. Xu by doing so, so if he were to ask him to compete in feng shui skills now, wouldn't that be blatant disrespect?
“Mr. Li, I don’t think this is a good idea. I don’t know Master Zhou’s skill level, but Mr. Xu is Master Wu’s chosen candidate. If…”
Before General Manager Liu could finish speaking, the heavily pregnant General Manager Li interrupted:
"Alright, Lao Liu, no need for so much talk. Since Master Zhou has suggested a competition, Mr. Xu on your side isn't afraid to participate, is he?"
Master Zhou, standing to the side, nodded in agreement:
“That’s right. Since they understand feng shui, they won’t be afraid of these things, unless they don’t have any achievements in feng shui, then that’s another story.”
Although Master Zhou is old, his eyesight is still quite good.
He had already clearly seen what the young man looked like, and he was quite surprised when he heard that a 'Mr. Xu' was coming to steal his business.
But now, Master Zhou is not flustered at all.
Even if you want to steal business, you should at least find someone who looks more mature. Who would fall for a greenhorn?
"As long as I get rid of that brat, hundreds of thousands will be in my account immediately. I never thought I'd have a chance to make a fortune at my age!" Master Zhou thought to himself with pride.
At this point, Mr. Liu was at a loss with what the two men were saying, and Mr. Li had already led Master Zhou to the other side, so Mr. Liu could only follow with a dark expression.
Before General Manager Liu could even explain to Xu Lu, General Manager Li, taking advantage of his position as the person in charge, spoke up directly:
"You must be Mr. Xu, whom Mr. Liu brought along. Perfect timing, I've also found Master Zhou here. Why don't you two have a contest of your feng shui skills..."
"No comparison!" To everyone's surprise, before President Li could finish speaking, Xu Lu uttered two words expressionlessly.
He didn't even glance at General Manager Li, but simply nodded to General Manager Liu who was approaching and said:
"Mr. Liu, since you don't need me here, I'll take my leave now!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lu turned and left.
What the hell is going on?!
I didn't come here for a mere few hundred thousand in reward, so why are you comparing feng shui skills? You don't understand the situation, do you?
If the person coming from the other side is someone who truly understands Feng Shui, then it's perfectly fine for them to exchange ideas and verify each other's knowledge; it's normal for people in the same profession to communicate.
But to ask Xu Lu to compare his feng shui skills with a fraudulent master was simply ridiculous, so he turned and left without saying a word.
But Master Zhou, who was only thinking about defeating the young upstart and showing off his power, was unhappy at this moment.
Without the contrast of a young upstart as a foil, how can one demonstrate the superiority of their feng shui skills? You can't use this stepping stone as a stepping stone!
Thinking of this, Master Zhou shouted from behind, his voice surprisingly loud:
"Young friend ahead, please wait! Since we are both practitioners of Feng Shui, it's quite normal to exchange ideas. Perhaps you don't understand Feng Shui and divination, but are just swindling people out there? If so, then this old man will..."
Xu Lu, who had already turned and taken a few steps, suddenly paused, turned back to look at Master Zhou, and said:
"Old man, if you had stayed home peacefully, you probably would have lived for a few more years. Now you have one foot in the grave and you don't even know it. It's truly pathetic and lamentable!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
No one expected that Xu Lu would say that Master Zhou didn't have much time left to live. For a moment, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
Master Zhou was so enraged that he jumped up and down, shouting:
"What are you saying, kid? I'm in excellent health, living to ninety-nine without a problem, at least another twenty or thirty years to live. Hey, don't go, we need to get to the bottom of this today..."
Unfortunately, no matter how angry Master Zhou was behind him, Xu Lu ignored him and went far away.
Seeing this, General Manager Liu was quite embarrassed and could only hurriedly urge Tang Yu, who was standing there in a daze, to say:
"Xiao Tang, what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and see Mr. Xu off!"
"Oh, Mr. Liu, I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"
Tang Yu snapped out of his daze and quickly quickened his pace to catch up.
Actually, he had been distracted just now, and the reason was, of course, that he had overheard what Xu Lu had said.
It's important to know that Tang Yu had been paying attention to the other party for a long time; you could say he had been following them from the very beginning.
He was a veteran of the live stream, so he naturally knew that the other party also had a widely known nickname: "Black Impermanence".
Tang Yu hadn't even thought about this before.
But when he heard the other party's comments about Master Zhou, the three words 'Black Impermanence' instantly appeared in his mind.
Then, he stared blankly at Master Zhou walking towards him.
They wanted to see some evidence or clue from Master Zhou that the other party was about to die.
But after watching for a while, Tang Yu realized that Master Zhou was perfectly fine and really looked like the kind of old man who could live a long life.
"But... things are definitely not that simple. After all, Mr. Xu said that Master Zhou has one foot in the grave this week."
Tang Yu muttered to himself.
Previously, when he was in the live broadcast room, he could only hear about the news, so he didn't have a deep feeling about it.
But what he just witnessed was something he experienced firsthand, and that feeling was completely different; it was very impactful.
After a while, Tang Yu finally caught up with Xu Lu, who was walking ahead.
"Mr. Xu, what you just said about Master Zhou, is it true?"
Tang Yu hesitated several times, but finally, driven by curiosity, he asked the question.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lu casually said:
"What do you mean, is it true or not?"
"I mean... I mean, what Master Zhou said about having one foot in the grave, is that true?"
Tang Yu was taken aback, and quickly added.
"Oh, that's true!"
To Tang Yu's surprise, Xu Lu nodded directly, but to everyone's surprise, he quickly added the second half of his sentence:
“Look at that old man, he must be at least sixty years old. At that age, what else could it be but ‘one foot in the grave’?”
Of course, if you insist on saying he's 'half-buried,' that's perfectly acceptable too; it means the same thing!
Forehead……
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu, who had been excited, was immediately dumbfounded.
After a long while, he said somewhat dejectedly, "Mr. Xu, you really know how to joke!"
Of course, Tang Yu didn't think that way in his heart, even though he said it that way.
After dropping Xu Lu off at the hotel, he immediately reported the matter to General Manager Liu.
