Chapter 354 Mr. Zheng said something strange
Another character is about to appear.
Before we go on stage, let's review the content of Chapter 181. That time, I accompanied Mr. Chen to Xiamen. On the plane, a child had a nosebleed, and I went over in time to stop the bleeding.
There was a man on the plane who added me on WeChat when he got off the plane. He was Zheng Yazhi, vice president of the Philippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Although we always send each other WeChat messages during the Chinese New Year every year, I never expected to meet him again.
Was he passing through here or coming here specifically when he came to Shangzhou? I didn't figure it out until I was almost at the gate of Cuiyuan. The electronic screen at the gate scrolled a message:
We welcome all distinguished guests attending the "Shangzhou Investment Promotion Conference" to stay at Cuiyuan.
I drove in. I had a vague impression of Building 2, where I'd dined with Mr. Chen before. I went straight, turned left, and then around another corner, and finally I saw Building 3.
After parking the car, I walked towards Building No. 3.
It was indeed quiet. The whole building seemed empty. Only when lights shone through some of the rooms did you feel that someone lived there.
I remember the lobby of these buildings was small, with only a long sofa and a bar. As I walked into the lobby and was about to go up to the second floor, I was stunned.
Zheng Yazhi, Mr. Xiong, and Zhang Meizhu were sitting on the sofa. They heard footsteps and looked up to see me.
"Mr. Wan." Zheng Yazhi was the first to call out. I strode forward and shook his hand. "You're too polite. You even came downstairs to wait?"
"It's my duty, it's my duty." He held my hand and shook it several times.
After letting go of my hand, I hugged Mr. Xiong and patted his back: "So the two friends are you two. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
Zhang Meizhu held out her hand. I said, "I want a hug too."
She hugged me politely.
Zheng Yazhi said, "Let's go upstairs."
As we walked, I asked Mr. Xiong, "Were you two acquaintances before, or did you just get to know each other this time?"
Mr. Xiong said, "We just met each other this time, but Mr. Zheng is from Xiamen and is very famous. Meizhu and I have heard of him for a long time."
Zhang Meizhu said, "When we exchanged business cards during registration, we found out that President Zheng was also attending the meeting."
Mr. Zheng led us into the room, a spacious suite. We all sat down while Zhang Meizhu began to boil water and make tea.
Mr. Zheng laughed and said, "During dinner, Mr. Xiong and I sat together and we chatted. We actually have mutual friends in Upstate. Isn't that a coincidence?"
I smiled and said, "It's called fate."
Zhang Meizhu served everyone a cup of tea and then sat aside. Mr. Xiong introduced Mr. Zheng to me.
I then learned that Mr. Zheng is from Xiamen and now lives in the Philippines. He is not only an extremely successful businessman but also a Chinese activist.
He is familiar with the leaders of Chinese groups in Singapore and Thailand. It was only when Mr. Zheng told him about this incident during his participation in the Shanghai International Trade Fair that he learned about it.
Mr. Xiong clapped his hands and said, "I might not be interested in going somewhere else. Since I didn't make any business deals in Upstate, I might as well go meet up with some old friends."
I said, "You haven't contacted Mr. Chen?"
He said, "I didn't contact you either. I had the same idea, wanting to give you a surprise. I called him twice, but his phone was turned off both times."
"Oh, yes, he went to Beijing this afternoon and was planning to go to Qiqihar. He might have turned off his phone on the plane."
“No wonder.”
I said to Mr. Zheng, "We're very welcome to Upstate. Upstate has a population of 11 million and its urban development is average, but the people are hospitable. After the meeting, stay a few days. I'll show you around."
Mr. Zheng nodded and said, "I'm going to attend the negotiation meeting, and I also want to take a look at Mr. Wan's Shangzhou."
I laughed out loud: "It's not the Wanshanhong Shangzhou, it's only the Wanshanhong in Shangzhou."
Zheng Yazhi said, "I didn't know you were so famous before. Mr. Xiong thinks highly of you. We chatted for a whole afternoon, and he said that after you did his feng shui, his business was booming."
I laughed and said, "Boss Xiong knows that people lifting each other up is priceless, but he's exaggerating."
Zhang Meizhu said: "That's not an exaggeration at all. Our sales volume is now number one in the same industry in Xiamen."
"That's a good name for you, the store manager. Open your hands and hand over the beautiful beads."
Zheng Yazhi said, "Xiao Zhang is great. My association is in need of someone like her, someone who can take care of everything and be good at dealing with people."
Mr. Xiong said, "I'd like to immigrate to the Philippines and be your secretary."
Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "I dare not steal someone else's credit."
After a while of pleasantries and banter, Mr. Zheng said, "Mr. Shanhong, I heard from Mr. Xiong that you are also proficient in physiognomy, feng shui, and fortune-telling?"
I smiled and said, “A little bit.”
"Did you grow up with a family of learned people, or did you learn from others later?"
It's a long story. I graduated from high school, didn't get into college, and started working at my sister's fried noodle shop. Later, I studied fortune-telling and feng shui with Master Hongyi. I learned from many other masters, including magic, physiognomy, and acupuncture.
Later, I met a Mr. Dong, who gave me a notebook. Now I am studying Hetu Yishu and medicine.
Mr. Xiong said, “He knows everything.”
Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Wan, can you tell my fortune?"
I said, "Sure."
Mr. Zheng gave a "horoscope" and said, "Please tell it to my best friend."
I swung my fingers around and said, "Since you're my friend, I won't go into detail. I'll just touch on a few key points."
"OK."
"This person is destined to be extremely wealthy. He will face a great disaster at the age of sixty. If there is any discrepancy between these two points, it proves that I still have much to learn."
Mr. Zheng clasped his fists and said, "It really lives up to its reputation."
Mr. Xiong and Zhang Meizhu asked in unison, "Are both correct?"
Mr. Zheng said: "This person is not only my good friend, but also my neighbor. His villa is only 200 meters away from me. Moreover, he is also a master of palmistry and proficient in Western medicine."
But now he is bedridden. Naturally, his business is down. He used to cure all kinds of difficult diseases, but he couldn't cure his own illness.
I said, "This is a misunderstanding people have. They think he is a god and nothing matters in his presence. But humans are made of flesh and blood. This is the same as a doctor being unable to cure his own illness."
Mr. Xiong asked, "Since you're such an expert, you must have plenty of money. Have you ever been to a big hospital for treatment?"
"I've been there, but it's no use. Now I can't die, and living is suffering."
I asked, "Has the hospital ranked his illness?"
Mr. Zheng said, "That's a good question. His illness is very strange. The hospital has different explanations for it. There's no unified name."
"Oh—is it just weakness?"
"Yes, I am very familiar with him."
I asked, “Isn’t he Chinese?”
Mr. Zheng said, "No. He's a native of the Philippines named Cruz. He's a famous Western doctor. When he was young, he learned palmistry from a gypsy. He continued to study and became very famous for his palmistry. In addition to his excellent medical skills, he has accumulated a considerable fortune. His family business is also quite large."
Mr. Xiong asked, "Didn't he read his palm?"
This question revealed a huge loophole.
Yes, since he is well versed in palmistry, couldn't he see that he would get sick? Couldn't he take precautions in advance?
Mr. Xiong and Zhang Meizhu not only asked Mr. Zheng, but also looked at me, hoping that I would give them an explanation.
I said, "No rush, let's listen to President Zheng first."
