Chapter 169: Mighty (Three in One)
Standing in the lobby outside the conference room, Yu Chengda and Yu Haonan stood together waiting for the results of the Shenzhen Real Estate Company's discussion.
Yu Haonan said to Yu Chengda, "Uncle, Xiangbei and Tao Nanfeng have done me a favor. My father and grandfather asked me to tell them that no matter what conditions they put forward, we must make this cooperation a success."
Yu Chengda: "Do you want me to cooperate with them even if it means losing money?"
Yu Haonan nodded: "Grandpa said that he would not let you suffer any loss, and our family will make up for the shortfall."
Yu Chengda smiled and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "How can I ask for money from my elders? Don't worry, I also want to cooperate with Shenzhen Real Estate Company this time. Thank you for the introduction."
The competition in real estate development in Hong Kong is extremely fierce. Every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The land price is getting higher day by day. It is really difficult to buy a piece of land in this tiny place.
But Shenzhen is different. It has vast land, a lot of wasteland to be redeveloped, and is only separated from the port city by a river. Its future development prospects are limitless.
Those who cannot get land in Hong Kong City can get land in Shenzhen; those who cannot afford to buy a house in Hong Kong City can cross the river and settle down in Shenzhen.
Chengda Company failed to secure the land this year and is having a headache. Just then, Yu Haonan brought the people from the Shenzhen real estate company to him, and Yu Chengda felt like it was a timely help.
Even without the request from his elders, Yu Chengda planned to cooperate with this Shenzhen real estate company with government background. It’s just that businessmen are profit-driven, and Yu Chengda hopes that the other party can offer reasonable conditions. After all, making money together is the right way.
When Xiangbei opened the door of the conference room and called Yu Chengda in, Yu Chengda's breathing became much lighter. He turned back into the room, nervously waiting for Jiang Qizhuo to propose terms of cooperation.
Yu Chengda and Liu Qiyu are different.
Liu Qiyu was born in a grassroots family and had a ruthless drive to move forward. He was willing to do anything to make money, whether it was quick money or dirty money. Yu Chengda came from a business family and believed in honesty and trustworthiness. He was like a modest gentleman in dealing with people, being kind and considerate.
Yu Chengda sat at the table and looked at Jiang Qizhu with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I am very sincere in cooperating with you. I will take out a loan from Gangcheng Bank for all construction investment. The sales of properties in Gangcheng and Shenzhen will also be fully responsible by Chengda Real Estate Company. I will bear all the expenses of your team members coming to Gangcheng. If you still need my assistance in matters related to real estate development, I will do my best. As for the profit sharing...you can propose it, and I have no objection."
He explained his "responsibilities" clearly and handed over the "benefits" to the other party to decide. Jiang Qizhuo was surprised that a Hong Kong businessman would reveal his cards so completely and be honest and gentle.
Jiang Qizhu and Xiangbei looked at each other, and there was a hint of warmth in their eyes.
As expected, there are many different people. There are Hong Kong businessmen like Liu Qiyu who are cruel, corrupt, and take advantage of their wealth to bully the poor. There are also businessmen like Yu Chengda who are sincere, open-minded, and make money through harmony.
Jiang Qizhu: "We have discussed it and we will give you 15% of the profit share. How about that?"
Yu Chengda was overjoyed when he heard this.
If the profit share is 15%, not only will his company be able to get going, but it can also make a net profit of three to four million after deducting costs. It seems that the mainland businessmen are also gentlemen. They do not deliberately lower the price, leaving him enough profit margin.
Cooperating with such a company, the future is limitless. Yu Chengda was both relieved and happy. He stood up with a smile and stretched out his hands to Jiang Qizhu across the conference table: "Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to work with you!"
Hong Kong City, Lili Hotel, Sihai Hall.
Shenzhen Real Estate Company, Gangcheng Chengda Company and Jiangcheng Nanfeng Company signed a friendly cooperation agreement.
Shenzhen Real Estate Company provided the land, Gangcheng Chengda Company provided the money, and Jiangcheng Nanfeng Company provided the technology. The profits among the three parties were shared as 75%, 15%, and 10%.
Now that the matter has been settled, all three parties feel relieved. After discussing some details of the cooperation, seeing that it was getting late, Yu Chengda booked a banquet at the luxurious Chinese restaurant on the second floor of Lili Hotel and invited everyone to experience the Hong Kong cuisine together.
Tao Nanfeng seldom interrupts in cooperation negotiations because it is not her expertise, but when talking about Cantonese cuisine, she smiles and becomes cheerful.
Cantonese cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China. It inherits the Central Plains dining style of "never tire of fine food, never tire of delicate minced meat". It has complex and delicate cooking methods and is characterized by being clear, fresh, refreshing, tender and smooth, with "five flavors (fragrant, crispy, soft, fatty and thick)" and "six tastes (bitter, spicy, sour, sweet, salty and light)".
Xiangbei knew that Tao Nanfeng liked to eat light and delicate Cantonese cuisine, so he stayed with her, carefully observing her preferences and silently taking note of them in his heart.
She likes sweet food;
She likes light colors;
She likes crispy barbecued pork;
She likes to eat slightly crispy roasted squab;
She likes beef cubes and salt and pepper shrimp;
She doesn't like ginger, doesn't like greasy taste, and doesn't like dishes with strong seafood smell.
…
Jiang Qizhu saw that Xiangbei was not paying attention to his meal and his eyes were always on Tao Nanfeng, so he joked, "Xiangbei, although beauty is a feast for the eyes, you should at least eat a few more bites of food. People are made of iron and food is made of steel."
Xiangbei ignored Jiang Qizhu's joke, picked up the teacup in front of Tao Nanfeng, and refilled her cup of the fragrant Biluochun tea, saying gently, "Wait until it cools down a bit before drinking."
Yu Haonan looked at Xiang Bei and Tao Nanfeng's sweet affection and felt a little depressed: "It's a pity that Dai Lian didn't come with them, otherwise I would show them my affection as well."
Everyone found it really funny to hear him talk about being wronged, and they all started laughing.
After eating and drinking, Xiangbei accompanied Tao Nanfeng to the gold shop to buy jewelry.
The gold jewellery in Hong Kong is unique and exquisitely crafted, with dragon and phoenix bracelets, peach heart pendants, twisted wire chains, ancient gold locks, butterfly hairpins, flower hairbands...all kinds of them, as well as platinum and □□, which look dazzling under the light of the small spotlights on the counter.
The price of gold in Hong Kong is cheaper than in the mainland, and the workmanship is unique. Tao Nanfeng bought a lot of it and prepared to give it to others as gifts.
Yu Chengda, who was serving as a guide, wanted to express his gratitude and rushed to pay, but was stopped by Xiangbei: "Nanfeng buys things, so of course I pay."
Jiang Qizhu smiled and said, "Xiangbei has money, so leave him alone."
As they were talking, a group of people appeared in the gold shop.
The first one was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a linen shirt, black shoes, and a long robe with wide sleeves. He looked somewhat like a god. Beside him were two young ladies and two young men, all wearing the same clothes, with handsome looks and arrogant expressions.
When the gold shop owner saw the five people, he waved his hand excitedly, and ran up with several service staff carrying bags, nodding and bowing: "Master, why did you come in person? All the good stuff that the store has newly purchased this month is here. Don't worry, not a centimeter or a gram is missing."
The two men took the bags lazily.
The two women held the old man's hands, one on each side, and said in a tender voice, "Master, I have to choose the jewelry first this time."
The old man shook off the woman's hand and glanced sharply inside the gold shop, as if he was looking for something.
This couple attracted too much attention, and all the customers in the gold shop looked towards them.
"Who are these people? They are so ostentatious!"
"Shh... don't talk nonsense. Did you see what they are wearing? That's the Xuanmen symbol."
"Xuanmen? Don't scare me! Aren't all the Xuanmen hermits and masters who rarely show up in public? Why are they buying things in the gold shop?"
"What are you buying? Don't you see they didn't pay? That's the monthly offering from the gold shop owner, to ensure safety and prosperity."
Every word of the discussion reached Xiang Bei's ears, and he suddenly felt a creepy feeling at the back of his head. It was dangerous!
After experiencing several brutal battles in the Sharp Knife Company, Xiang Bei was able to survive not only because of his strong physical strength, excellent fighting skills, and quick decision-making, but also because of his keen sense and intuition about danger.
Yu Chengda's whispered reminder rang in my ears: "This is the leader of Hong Kong's metaphysics, Yi Tiancheng, the head of the Yi Sect."
easy! Upon hearing the surname, Xiang Bei immediately became alert. He pulled Tao Nanfeng into his arms, pressed the back of her head with his left hand, pressed her face against his chest, and raised his right hand to protect her tightly without exposing a single piece of skin.
The old man seemed to sense something, and his eyes became stern as he looked at Yu Chengda and his group.
Yu Chengda walked a few steps quickly to the old man and bowed respectfully: "Hello, Master Yi."
Yi Tiancheng glanced at Yu Chengda and nodded arrogantly. Yi Tiancheng had met numerous wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong, and the little Yu Chengda was not enough to attract his attention.
Yi Tiancheng suddenly felt anxious and short of breath during dinner today, so he cast a fortune for himself and got "Li is the Fire Hexagram".
——If someone gets this hexagram and encounters the heavenly palace, wealth and fortune will surely come to the world. All your wishes will be fulfilled, worries will disappear and you will be safe.
Yi Tiancheng was overjoyed. This was a very auspicious omen that meant good luck when going out! He called his disciple to ask, and found out that he had to go to Phoenix Gold Shop to collect his monthly salary today, so he went out for a rare trip.
But along the way, everything went safely and smoothly, and I didn't encounter any strange people or weird things. Yi Tiancheng walked into the gold shop and looked around, only to see a dozen ordinary Hong Kong people and a few mainlanders.
The only one who is worthy of a name is the real estate developer Yu Chengda. Judging from his face, although he has a rosy complexion, gets money and has a successful career, he is not qualified to become a "Heavenly Palace".
Could it be that the Heavenly Palace is not in the Jindian? Yi Tiancheng looked carefully at the people staying in the gold shop.
The one who looked like a nobleman was obviously the son of a wealthy family who had lived a life of luxury. The two who looked like country bumpkins were probably cadres from the mainland. The tall and handsome man was a fierce man in the army. He was holding a slender woman in his arms, but unfortunately her face was blocked so that nothing could be seen clearly.
Yi Tiancheng always kept his distance from the evil spirits in the army. He glanced at them and left, not daring to stay for even a second.
The woman in the evil god's arms had a graceful figure, and one could tell at first glance that she was a rare beauty. But is Yi Tiancheng short of beauties around him? There is no shortage. Since I can't see the face clearly, that's fine.
Yi Tiancheng shook his head and led his disciples away.
A complaint floated in from outside the gold shop: "Why did Yi Zhenghao take so long to go to the mainland this time? Originally, he was the one who did all these odd jobs, but now it's our turn..."
Jiang Qizhu and Li Xihu looked at each other and said in their hearts: Yi Zhenghao will not come back, he is going crazy in Shenzhen Prison.
Xiangbei was not so relaxed, and a chill ran down his back.
Yi Zhenghao is a disciple of Yi Sect, and Yi Tiancheng is his master. Yi Zhenghao learned the skills of physiognomy and feng shui from Yi Tiancheng, and the art of soul-locking was naturally also taught by Yi Tiancheng.
If Yi Tiancheng saw Tao Nanfeng, who had a precious fate and special abilities, would he also become covetous of her?
Xiangbei immediately covered Tao Nanfeng's figure, and did not let go until Yi Tiancheng walked far away.
Tao Nanfeng was pressed against Xiangbei's chest, feeling a little breathless, but she and Xiangbei were in tune with each other. When she heard others talking about the old man being a member of the Xuanmen sect, she also wanted to avoid him. She has too many secrets that cannot be known by the people in the Xuanmen.
When everything returned to normal, Tao Nanfeng glanced at Xiangbei, raised his hand to tuck the messy hair behind his ears, and sighed softly: "Do you really think I'm a treasure that everyone wants to grab?"
Xiangbei responded in a deep voice: "It's better to be safe than sorry. This is their territory, so we better be careful."
Whenever Xiangbei thought about how Yi Zhenghao discovered that Tao Nanfeng had a noble fate and would bring good fortune to her husband, children and wealth, he felt a little panicked. What if all these people in Hong Kong are superstitious and want to take her home as their wife? This is a port city! If someone is really missing, where can we look for him/her?
Xiangbei could see that Yi Tiancheng, a metaphysical person, was not a good person. He had a hunch that if Yi Tiancheng saw Tao Nanfeng's face, he would definitely have a strong interest in Tao Nanfeng. If I continue to have contact with him, it will bring devastating disaster to my family.
Therefore, Xiangbei changed his mind about staying in the port city any longer and returned home the next day. It wasn't until he crossed the bridge, passed the customs and set foot on the land of Shenzhen that he felt relieved.
Tao Nanfeng felt a little regretful: she had not yet visited the new real estate projects in Gangcheng. I heard that the designers in Hong Kong City designed the residential units to be compact and practical, with eight or ten households on two floors, which are exquisite and elegant... uh, crowded.
Fortunately, Yu Chengda was well prepared and gave Tao Nanfeng a bag of property brochures and apartment design drawings. Tao Nanfeng accepted it happily, and as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he opened the drawings and analyzed them carefully, complaining as he studied them.
"People in Hong Kong are really smart. They can design a house with two bedrooms and two living rooms in an area of 30 to 40 square meters?"
"No wonder they say that every inch of land in Hong Kong is worth a lot of money. A building with more than 10 or 20 floors, two elevators, and ten households, how crowded it must be during rush hour. I think such living conditions are not even as good as the single dormitory on our farm."
“Isn’t real estate development meant to improve the housing conditions of urban residents? Why is it that the more it is developed, the more crowded it becomes and the more expensive it becomes?”
Looking north, I saw her lying beside the coffee table, flipping through the blueprints and property brochure seriously. She was thinking about how to improve the living conditions of the residents, and my heart was filled with warmth.
He went to the tea restaurant downstairs and bought a cup of milk tea, then handed it to Tao Nanfeng: "Take a breath. People in Hong Kong build houses thinking about how to make money, I'm afraid they don't have the same high level as you."
"That's right. Because the land in the port city is expensive, the developers there are thinking about how to increase the intensity of land use and make as much money as possible. Our country is vast, and the urban land belongs to the state. The living conditions of the people are generally not good. Residential development is different from that in the port city. Don't be led astray by the port city businessmen."
After expressing his feelings, Tao Nanfeng took the cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This milk tea is sweet and has a strong milky flavor. If Zhizhi and Yu'er drink it, they will definitely like it."
When he mentioned the children, he suddenly felt homesick. Tao Nanfeng sighed and said, "I want to go home."
From Jiangcheng to Kyoto, and then from Kyoto to Shenzhen, with a trip to Hong Kong City in between, the two hadn't seen their children for half a month. This is the longest time Tao Nanfeng has been separated from her three children since she gave birth to them.
Xiangbei also missed home.
Although it is rare to be alone with Tao Nanfeng, we can be affectionate and loving every day. But Jiangcheng has parents and children, relatives who are connected to him by blood, and a home that everyone has built together.
The two looked at each other and said with a smile, "Then get ready to go home."
The next day, Tao Nanfeng asked Jiang Qizhu for a detailed topographic map, and asked him to prepare a topographic survey and determine data such as apartment size, number of units, floor area ratio, greening rate, and supporting public building standards on site. Then he packed up all the information and took it away, preparing to return to Jiangcheng to complete the drawing.
If you go north, find Xiang Yimin to book a return train ticket, pack your luggage, and buy some Shenzhen specialties.
On the third day, the two finally boarded the train back to Jiangcheng.
In the golden autumn season, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant.
As soon as Tao Nanfeng walked to the west gate of Jiangcheng University of Architecture, he smelled the strong fragrance of osmanthus on campus. This refreshing breath is so familiar that it makes people feel the happiness of being home.
From a distance, Tao Shouxin, Liang Yinzhen and Xiang Yongfu could be seen standing at the bottom of the third floor of Nanfeng Company. Each of them was holding a child and waiting anxiously.
"south wind."
"To the north..."
"Mom! Dad!"
Tao Nanfeng smiled happily at his family's call and started running.
As soon as the children saw their mother running towards them, they screamed excitedly, and shook themselves. The three adults couldn't hold them at all, so they had to bend down and put them down.
The children rushed into Tao Nanfeng's arms like fledgling swallows, their voices full of joy and a hint of grievance: "Mom, you're finally back! I missed you so much——"
Zhizhi ran the fastest and was the first to hug Tao Nanfeng's thighs, with her head resting on her mother's legs, showing intimacy and attachment. Yu'er followed her sister's example and hugged her mother's thighs tightly. Tao Ran ran slower and found that the position had been taken by her two sisters. She had no choice but to reach out to her mother: "Mom, hold me!"
Tao Nanfeng's legs were hugged by the girl, and her motherly heart was about to melt. She bent down to pick up her son and kissed him on the face: "Tao Ran, good boy~"
Now Zhizhi and Yuer were extremely envious, and they looked up and shouted, "Mommy, hold me."
Xiangbei found that no one was snatching his son away, so he put down his luggage with a smile, snatched his son from Tao Nanfeng, and gave him a big kiss.
Although Tao Ran was reluctant to leave his mother's soft embrace, his father was tall and had strong arms. He could stand tall and see far in his father's arms, and he felt warm and safe. In addition, his face was itchy due to the stubble on his father's face, so he laughed.
Tao Nanfeng freed his hands, bent down, picked up the two girls, kissed them one on the left and one on the right, and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits. Zhizhi and Yuer's faces lit up with joy and they hugged their mother's neck and refused to let go.
Liang Yinzhen had been worried these days. Now that she finally saw her son and daughter-in-law return home safely, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Through tears, she choked up and said, "Nanfeng, Xiangbei, you are finally back. It's good that you are back, it's good that you are back."
Tao Nanfeng looked at the few strands of hair on her mother-in-law's head fluttering in the wind. The gray hair was coarse and sparse. I couldn't help but feel sad, and I smiled while holding back my tears and said, "Mom, we are back."
Feeling the warmth and affection of the family reunion, Tao Shouxin's glasses were fogged up. He looked his daughter up and down, smiled and nodded: "Good, good, good, you seem to have gained a little weight. It seems that Xiangbei has taken good care of you."
Tao Nanfeng left the drawings and materials he brought back in the office, gave a brief instruction to Fan Yajun, and after announcing the meeting at 4 p.m., the family chatted and laughed as they walked towards the village behind the courtyard.
The gift to Tao Shouxin was a R-country watch bought from the most famous watch shop in Hong Kong. It was low-key and luxurious.
Xiang Yongfu's gift was a golden pipe; Liang Yinzhen's gift was an ancient frosted gold bracelet weighing more than 100 grams, and a colorful gauze scarf of a foreign brand.
The gifts for children include various children's clothes, small leather shoes, hats...
The joy of distributing gifts made everyone smile from ear to ear.
Tao Shouxin put on a new watch and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
Liang Yinzhen put on a gold bracelet and Xiang Yongfu held a gold pipe. They felt like a wealthy landlord and joked with each other: "Gold is so shiny that it makes my eyes dazzled."
After reuniting with his family, Tao Nanfeng organized a team to begin the intensive design of the residential community.
The cadres’ dormitory of Shenzhen Municipal Government is named “Oriental Garden”, which means “the sun rises from the east”. Because of its government background, the construction application procedures were quickly approved, and the survey team entered the site after the first batch of funds from Gangcheng was in place. After obtaining the geological survey report, the construction drawings of the building, structure, water, electricity, heating and road engineering were carried out simultaneously.
Xiangbei told everyone that the design fee was 50,000 yuan and that the money would be distributed by the end of October. There was a cheer in the design institute.
According to the agreement Xiangbei had made with everyone, 30% of the design fee would be used to distribute commissions, which meant that by the end of October everyone would share 15,000 yuan!
The engineers at Nanfeng Design Company were all full of energy and enthusiasm, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and staying up late to draw pictures became the norm. Because as long as they finish the drawing quickly and submit the design drawings, Xiangbei will be able to get 50,000 yuan in design fees from the Shenzhen real estate company. Then everyone will be rich, and each person can get 2,000 yuan.
Tao Nanfeng pursed her lips and smiled.
Previously, my father was worried that the design institute would not make enough money to pay salaries, but now it seems... there might be a lot of money to be made in the future.
The design drawings were completed in a week, and Xiangbei took Fan Zhicheng to Shenzhen Stock Exchange to submit the drawings.
Three days later, the phone at Nanfeng Company rang urgently. When Tao Nanfeng picked up the phone and heard Fan Zhicheng's crying voice, his heart sank.
"Tao Nanfeng, Xiangbei has been detained by Yi Tiancheng!"
Tao Nanfeng felt a tingling sensation on her head. Her breathing stagnated and she tried to calm herself down: "What's going on? Tell me slowly."
Jiang Qizhu snatched the phone away: "Boss Tao, Yi Zhenghao and Liu Qiyu were sent to Gangcheng Prison and were released on parole. Yi Zhenghao has become a vegetable because his soul was locked for too long. After Yi Tiancheng learned about this, he personally led people to Shenzhen City, intercepted Xiangbei, invited him to have tea and chat at the Lanyu Hotel, and released Fan Zhicheng to report the news. Yi Tiancheng said that he not only wanted to meet Xiangbei, the evil god in the army, but also Tao Nanfeng, who Yi Tianhao called a noble man."
Tao Nanfeng frowned: "Yi Tiancheng intercepted someone, you won't call the police?"
Jiang Qizhu smiled bitterly, "It's useless to call the police. Yi Tiancheng's magic is a hundred times better than Yi Zhenghao's. Xiangbei is like a different person. He refused to go with us and insisted on staying with Yi Tiancheng to practice Taoism. The police said that it was neither missing nor kidnapping. Xiangbei insisted on learning Taoism, so it's not enough to file a case."
Tao Nanfeng could no longer suppress his anger when he heard this: "This is our territory, not a port city! How can we tolerate a person from the Xuanmen to be so arrogant!"
Jiang Qizhu quickly explained: "Tao Nanfeng, I have reported to the city leaders. The public security department has sent people to guard around the Lanyu Hotel to prevent Yi Tiancheng from taking Xiangbei to Gangcheng. But Yi Tiancheng has an extraordinary status in Gangcheng, and Xiangbei is not cooperating, so we can't take him away directly."
Fan Zhicheng snatched the phone back: "Tao Nanfeng, Xiangbei has completely changed. He ignored me when I called him. Old man Yi Tiancheng looks at people in a strange way. Come quickly and take Xiangbei home."
"I'll be there right away!" Tao Nanfeng put the phone down heavily, only to find that a group of people had gathered around him.
Tao Shouxin asked: "Did Xiangbei run into trouble? What happened?"
Fan Yajun looked at her worriedly: "What's wrong? It's rare to see you lose your temper like this."
Ye Chu held the child and asked nervously: "Don't worry, we can discuss it together if there is anything."
Tao Nanfeng was extremely anxious at the moment. He gave a brief explanation, arranged for someone to book a ticket, and took a bus to Shenzhen overnight.
Before getting on the train, Tao Shouxin hung the "Survival from Desperate Situations" jade buckle around her neck and solemnly instructed her: "You gained magical powers from the jade buckle, which is a kind of metaphysics in itself. Wear it this time, and I hope it will help you survive from desperate situations. The people in the Hong Kong City Xuanmen are unfathomable, so remember to protect yourself first."
Tao Nanfeng nodded heavily: "Dad, don't worry, I will bring Xiangbei back safely. Don't tell anyone else at home, so as not to make Xiangbei's parents worry."
Seeing his daughter having to bear all the pressure alone, Tao Shouxin felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to express his thoughts. He raised his hand and stroked his daughter's head, his voice hoarse: "Dad can't help you, you can only rely on yourself."
The further you go and the higher you stand, the greater the difficulties you will encounter. Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei met the people from the Xuanmen in Gangcheng this time, and they didn't know what the outcome would be. Tao Shouxin felt a darkness in front of his eyes, as if his heart was being grabbed by something, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
Tao Nanfeng reached out and hugged his father, his eyes shining brightly: "Dad, I'm not afraid! Although I haven't learned any mysterious methods, evil has never prevailed over good since ancient times. I don't believe that with so many of us, we can still be bullied by an old man named Yi!"
Jiang Qizhuo's real estate company is a subsidiary of the Shenzhen Municipal Government. Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei cooperated with them to build cadres' dormitories. Yi Tiancheng detained Xiang Bei in a hotel. Could he dare to kill people and set fire to them?
Magic is not the right way, how can we allow it to cause chaos in our country! With this anger, Tao Nanfeng boarded the train heading south, carrying only a military green backpack across his shoulder and without any extra luggage.
She sat by the window with a cold face, watching the scenery moving backwards, with a fire burning in her heart.
At the age of seventeen, Tao Nanfeng, who had just graduated from high school, was also sitting in a car full of strangers, looking out the window in a daze, not knowing where his future lay.
Now she is 25 years old, has three children, has opened a company, and her career is booming. Today I was sitting alone on the train, with no one I knew around me. My heart felt like it was boiling in a frying pan, and it was extremely tormenting.
It was late at night, and the black velvet sky was dotted with stars.
Everyone around him was already fast asleep, with even breathing sounds continuing to be heard, but Tao Nanfeng was not sleepy at all. He held his chin with one hand, maintaining a fixed posture, and looked out the window quietly.
A chill ran down my neck.
Looking down, I saw a emerald green jade buckle hanging from a red string.
Looking at this jade button, Tao Nanfeng thought of a lot.
The jade button left by her mother protected her and changed her original fate in the book. It gave her amazing supernatural powers and the skill of digging holes. She was determined to make a career, build thousands of mansions and shelter the poor people in the world.
Now that his career has just started, does Yi Tiancheng, who relies on Xuanmen magic to dominate the world, want to become an obstacle standing in his way? Don’t even think about it!
She closed her eyes, carefully felt the warm current between her dantian, and guided the innate true energy to gather at her fingertips. When she opened her eyes, she saw countless white dots of light flashing warmly wherever she looked, surrounding her and comforting her.
Tao Nanfeng suddenly gained courage.
Yi Tiancheng wants to meet me? Then come on!
As soon as Tao Nanfeng got off the train, Xiang Yimin drove the city government's car, and Jiang Qizhuo and Fan Zhicheng came to pick her up.
Fan Zhicheng's handsome face was full of fatigue. It was obvious that he was so worried that he couldn't sleep or eat well. When he saw Tao Nanfeng, it was like seeing a relative. He told the story of how he was intercepted by Yi Tiancheng in a crying voice.
"After Xiangbei and I finished exchanging drawings, we went back to the hotel to rest. As soon as we walked in, an old man in brown linen clothes came towards us. Before we could react, the old man raised his hand and pointed, and Xiangbei suddenly stopped moving. I pulled him, but he didn't move; I called him, but he didn't move. He did whatever the old man said, as if he was possessed by a demon!"
Jiang Qizhu had seen Yi Zhenghao's soul lock backfire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tao Nanfeng, I called the police, and the public security department also dispatched police. But Yi Tiancheng has a good attitude and is not anxious or irritable. He said that he just saw Xiangbei has wisdom and wanted to take him as his apprentice. He will study in the hotel for the next few days. When you come over, I will ask for your opinion. Please ask you and your wife to go to Gangcheng to learn Feng Shui from him."
Tao Nanfeng asked Fan Zhicheng: "If you pull it to the north, won't he move?"
Fan Zhicheng nodded: "Yes! Xiangbei is very strong, I can't pull him at all. But the old man snapped his fingers and Xiangbei followed him obediently. When the public security comrades came to the door, Xiangbei followed the old man Yi and said that he was fine. He stayed in the hotel and studied with Master Yi these days."
Jiang Qizhu sighed: "Our country does not allow feudal superstition, but we can't interfere with the people of Gangcheng. Fortunately, Yi Tiancheng has not left the hotel in the past two days, so Xiangbei is safe for now."
Tao Nanfeng calmed his mind and said calmly: "Xiang Bei's mind is being restrained, can't you see it?"
Jiang Qizhu was sitting in the passenger seat and turned around to explain to Tao Nanfeng: "You can see it, but you can't force it out."
Tao Nanfeng didn't look at anyone, his eyes were fixed on the window: "If you can't bring him out, Fan Zhicheng, why don't you stay with Xiangbei in the hotel?"
Fan Zhicheng was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a long time.
Tao Nanfeng sneered: "Xiangbei is in danger, and you just abandon him and run away? You really don't deserve me!"
Fan Zhicheng's face flushed red, hesitantly said: "I... I'm scared, that old man looks like he would eat people."
Tao Nanfeng was filled with disappointment: "Fan Zhicheng, you told me when we were in Kyoto that I was your only friend."
When Fan Zhicheng heard Tao Nanfeng's words, he felt extremely ashamed. He slowly lowered his head and did not dare to defend himself.
Jiang Qizhuo didn't say anything, and the car suddenly became quiet.
Before, Tao Nanfeng was with Xiang Bei. Xiang Bei always took the lead and took care of Nanfeng. This gave Jiang Qizhu the impression that Tao Nanfeng was a weak and delicate woman.
But now Xiangbei is in trouble, and Tao Nanfeng appears alone in Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Seeing her scolding Fan Zhicheng harshly, Jiang Qizhuo realizes that Tao Nanfeng is a career woman with a strong sense of independence. She is calm and composed in the face of difficulties, and is strong, calm and rational.
Xiang Yimin broke the silence and said, "Boss Tao, are we going to the company or the hotel?"
Tao Nanfeng replied: "Go to the hotel."
The black car drove straight to the Lanyu Hotel.
As soon as the car stopped at the door of the hotel, a doorman in waiter uniform came over to help open the door.
Tao Nanfeng stepped out of the car, moved his bag behind him, took a deep breath, and stepped into the hotel lobby.
What comes into view is the stone carved hollow dragon column.
It was still the dazzling crystal chandelier and the shiny marble floor. The environment hadn't changed at all, but Tao Nanfeng's mood had changed.
If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.
When he met Yi Tiancheng in Gangcheng, Xiangbei vigilantly protected Tao Nanfeng, fearing that Tao Nanfeng would be coveted by Yi Tiancheng. But now Xiangbei was plotted against by Yi Tiancheng, and Tao Nanfeng was forced to come forward and could not avoid meeting Yi Tiancheng.
The four of them walked into the lobby. When they saw Jiang Qizhu, the waiter's face immediately changed: "I'm sorry, our boss has ordered that no one who is looking for Xiang Bei will be seen. Mr. Xiang is studying with Master Yi and cannot be disturbed."
Tao Nanfeng said calmly: "Tell Master Yi that I am Tao Nanfeng."
The waiter looked at Tao Nanfeng cautiously, then bowed and said, "Okay, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the master."
Jiang Qizhu smiled bitterly and said, "I come here every day, and the waiters are familiar with me. Even when the police come here, they have the same attitude."
Tao Nanfeng pursed his lips, looked coldly, stared at the stairs, and waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, Yi Tiancheng finally showed up.
Just like his last appearance in the gold shop, Yi Tiancheng was followed by two men and two women, all of whom were handsome and wore brown linen Taoist robes with a golden "Yi" character embroidered on their chests.
Xiangbei also changed into Taoist robes and followed Yi Tiancheng with a calm expression.
Fan Zhicheng waved to Xiangbei: "Xiangbei, Tao Nanfeng is here! Come back with us."
Xiangbei's eyes were dazed, as if he had lost all sense of the outside world, and he replied calmly: "I am learning Taoism from the master, and I don't see anyone."
Tao Nanfeng took two steps closer and faced Xiangbei.
Yi Tiancheng's eyes fell on Tao Nanfeng's face. What his outer disciple Yi Zhenghao said was right. Tao Nanfeng was indeed a person with a very precious destiny that would bring prosperity to her husband and children and bring wealth.
A faint cool fragrance of wintersweet wafted over, and Yi Tiancheng's eyes lit up. He looked Tao Nanfeng up and down, and the more he looked, the more he loved her. He never expected that in this world where spiritual power has collapsed, there are still spiritual beings!
The last time I went to the gold shop, I divined the Li hexagram, which was the Fire hexagram. The "Heavenly Palace" mentioned in the hexagram turned out to be Tao Nanfeng. It’s a pity that Tao Nanfeng didn’t show up at that time and I missed it. However, what is meant to come will always come. Even though we missed each other last time, didn’t we see each other this time?
The more Yi Tiancheng thought about it, the happier he became. He said to Tao Nanfeng, "Are you willing to follow me and learn the Dao? I'll help you go to Gangcheng and join my Yi Sect. I guarantee that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory from now on!"
Tao Nanfeng didn't care what Yi Tiancheng said at all. She looked carefully and found that there was a small ball of gray mist in Xiang Bei's brain.
She took a step forward, raised her hand to touch his cheek, and smiled: "Xiangbei, come home with me."
White spots of light spread out from the fingertips, and the gray mist flew to Tao Nanfeng's fingertips as if it had heard a call. Tao Nanfeng flicked his fingertips and the mist rushed towards Yi Tiancheng.
Yi Tiancheng had just said the words "endless enjoyment" when he suddenly felt a chill running down his body. He was horrified and stepped back repeatedly, grabbing the disciple standing beside him to block in front of him.
The male disciple was hit directly by the gray mist. He stood there stupidly and motionless, as if he was under a spell.
On the other side, Xiang Bei's eyes suddenly became clear. He hugged Tao Nanfeng with his right hand and retreated backwards like lightning.
He placed Tao Nanfeng next to the public security comrades who came over and shouted, "Nanfeng, help me keep an eye on him!" After that, he rushed forward and used all his military fighting skills!
Yi Tiancheng was caught off guard and was caught red-handed by Xiang Bei.
He had just formed a hand seal with his fingers when a white light spot flew out from Tao Nanfeng's fingertips and met the gray light spot, which disappeared instantly.
Xiangbei grabbed Yi Tiancheng's wrist with his right hand, lowered his body, bent his knees slightly, turned his body to the right, arched his waist, lowered his head, and threw him over his shoulder!
With a loud bang, Yi Tiancheng fell to the ground.
Before he could even let out a scream, he was pinned to the ground by Xiangbei, with fists raining down on him.
One-sided assault.
The other three disciples standing behind Yi Tiancheng shouted: "Master!"
The three of them rushed forward together.
Without waiting for the public security comrades to step forward to stop him, Tao Nanfeng went forward to meet them.
thump! thump! thump!
Everyone stood there in a daze, watching Tao Nanfeng's amazing power as he swung up one disciple after another and threw them five or six meters away.
The disciples' magic spells were melted away by the white light from Tao Nanfeng's fingertips before they could even perform. She followed and kicked him a few times, sneering: "Xuanmen? Magic? Bullshit!"
Xiangbei's men were sensible and knew not to kill anyone. But Yi Tiancheng plotted against him first, and then used him to lure Nanfeng out. How shameless! Never let it go easily!
If I don't beat him up now, I'll never have a chance to vent my anger.
Seeing Tao Nanfeng display his might and fight side by side with Xiangbei, a trembling feeling rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head again. Fan Zhicheng wanted to bow down to him and murmured, "Nanfeng, you are so powerful."
The hotel lobby was in chaos, with crowds of people coming to watch the fun crowding in circles.
A Hong Kong businessman who recognized Yi Tiancheng turned pale with fear: "It's over, it's over, the master has been beaten!"
The hotel manager was so anxious that he was sweating all over his forehead. He pulled the police officer and said, "Call the police, we'll call the police."
When the dust settled, a bunch of people involved in the incident were sitting in the Cuihu District Police Station.
Yi Tiancheng had been trained in Xiangbei, and was beaten with a swollen nose and a swollen body, but no injuries were found; Tao Nanfeng lost control of her strength in anger, and three of her disciples had their leg bones broken by her kicks.
Yi Tiancheng shouted frantically: "I'm going to put you in jail! I'm going to put you in jail!"
Tao Nanfeng looked at him coldly: "You used insidious magic to imprison my lover. I will sue you for kidnapping!"
Xiang Bei: "Comrade Public Security, I want to sue Yi Tiancheng for intentional injury. Look at his disciple. He was the one who poisoned him and damaged his brain nerves."
Because it concerned our friends in Hong Kong, this gang fight received high attention from Shenzhen government leaders.
Jiang Qizhu witnessed Tao Nanfeng's ruthless tactics for the first time, and secretly thanked himself for always being respectful and kind to her. I thought she was a little darling wife, but she turned out to be a fierce tiger.
Xiangbei's soul was locked by Yi Tiancheng and no one was able to do anything about it, but unexpectedly, he regained consciousness immediately after Tao Nanfeng arrived. Yi Tiancheng, who was so popular among the people of Gangcheng, was beaten like a grandson.
The more he thought about it, the funnier it got. Jiang Qizhu said to the deputy mayor of Shenzhen who was in charge of handling the matter, "Yi Tiancheng is not honest in our territory, so we can't indulge him. He is a master of the people of Hong Kong City, but he is nothing here. Xiangbei and Tao Nanfeng are our people, so we can't let our enemies be happy while our loved ones are sad."
After negotiations, Yi Tiancheng agreed to reconcile, but put forward a condition: to compete with Tao Nanfeng in geomancy.
