"Brother Hao!" Guo Wenming’s voice trembled as he spoke, "You couldn’t be... the Feng Shui Master who changed the fortunes of the entire neighborhood, could you?"
When Guo Wenming said this, Zhang Li’s gaze at Wang Hao had completely changed!
Now, that legendary Feng Shui Master had become a mythical figure! According to neighborhood legend, the Feng Shui Master broke the evil spell for someone on the day, and the effects were just too obvious!
Such a mythic and awesome figure turned out to be the young man standing in front of them, walking a dog?!
"Is there any doubt about it?" Before Wang Hao could speak, Zhao Fang affirmed from the side, "I was there at the scene! Master Wang’s Feng Shui skills were simply unbeatable! You really shouldn’t doubt it; there was even a swindler there, who was left speechless by Master Wang’s arguments! The Feng Shui corrections he provided were nothing short of miraculous! You might not believe this, but I’ve been researching Feng Shui these days. Alas, it’s just not the same, my knowledge is too shallow. Sigh, if I could become a disciple of Master Wang, I’m sure I would sell houses much more successfully in the future!"
"Is he really that amazing!?" Guo Wenming exclaimed, "I heard that master could practically summon the wind and call the rain..."
"I’ve seen the video Sister Zhao recorded at the time," Jiang Huanyu joined in, her face full of admiration as she looked at Wang Hao, "It was such a scene. Since then, I’ve always wanted to meet the Master. I never expected that he would become my neighbor. It’s truly my honor, hehe. Now, I feel as if I’m dreaming!"
Well, now that Mr. Jiang had spoken like that, what else could be said?
Looking at Wang Hao, Guo Wenming stammered: "Brother Hao, about all this... Please don’t take any offense from what I’ve said before..."
He must smooth things over quickly, or if Brother Hao insisted that he eat a sand table, what would he do then?
"Look at you, making a big deal over nothing," Wang Hao smiled and then rubbed his hair, "It’s unnecessary, I never took it to heart."
He genuinely didn’t care—after all, being misunderstood was routine to him...
"Master," Jiang Huanyu clearly took Feng Shui very seriously, and now that the Master was right in front of her, she definitely wanted to ask for his advice. Of course, asking for advice shouldn’t be for free, right? It was only proper to show some appreciation, "Now that you’re here today, and we’re neighbors, I insist on hosting you at lunch. I need to ask for your advice on the layout of my house. What do you say?"
Eh? A beautiful lady is offering to take him out for a meal!
"Oh, how could I possibly impose?" Wang Hao chuckled and then decisively agreed, "Sure, I don’t have anything else on today. Shall we go now?"
"Let’s go, get in the car!" Jiang Huanyu opened the car door and smiled, "Tell me whatever you wish to eat today, Master, your every wish is my command!"
"Well, then I’ll just graciously accept your kind offer," Wang Hao said, grinning as he got into the car holding Little Bai.
The Porsche 911 is said to seat four, but the two seats in the back are really just for emergencies. Once Wang Hao and Jiang Huanyu were seated, it felt fully occupied.
Jiang Huanyu buckled her seat belt and then called the others, "Everyone get in, we’ll all have a nice meal together at noon."
Guo Wenming and Zhang Li had driven there, but of course, their car could not compare to the Porsche 911.
Zhao Fang had her own Mazda. With transportation arranged, they set off.
On the road, Wang Hao holding Mr. Bai casually asked, "I heard Guo refer to you as Mr. Jiang. Do you own a company?"
"It’s not really a big deal," Jiang Huanyu replied while driving, "My dad has a foreign trade company in the country, and I just hold a nominal position there. I have my own business—a bar called Fusion in the city center. It’s pretty decent. Of course, it doesn’t compare to what you, Master, can accomplish with Feng Shui. I have great admiration for your skills."
Hearing the name, Wang Hao was immediately taken aback.
Fusion Bar was one of the most famous bars in Zhonghai City!
It had five luxurious VIP rooms each with unique themes.
With its luxurious and avant-garde interior design, the main floor was bathed in light from an integrated lighting system, visual systems, and reflective materials, filled with purple, silver, and blue hues that radiated throughout the venue. The fusion of surfaces manifested in the modern visual systems that displayed lines and spatial layouts, perfectly showcasing the scattered distribution of 36 booths. Fusion, as a party bar, could arguably be said to have reached the pinnacle, with smoke columns and grand lighting creating an enchanting, cloud-like effect.
The luxurious dance floor featured a movable DJ booth, backed by two LED screens, with the front screen displaying three-dimensional images. As the music played, the people in front of it seemed to be drawn into a futuristic space-time. LED screens could be seen all over the place, intentionally subverting trends with a sense of artistry to deliver the highest quality music experience, epitomizing the colliding forces of "chaos, fantasy, and fusion."
The soon-to-be-opened rooftop space on the sixth floor offered a breathtaking view of the entire Xintiandi at night!
Wang Hao had only heard of such a bar and had never visited it in person. He didn’t expect that today he’d share a ride with the bar’s owner!
It was quite the honor to speak truly!
"Wow, I didn’t expect to meet such an important business owner today!" Wang Hao quickly expressed his admiration, "I had heard before that Fusion is ranked among the top ten bars in Zhonghai City. But seeing the owner today, I think it’s definitely selling it short to say top ten—it’s got to be at least top three!"
"You’re exaggerating," Jiang Huanyu demurred, clearly very pleased with herself.
To be praised by a master felt completely different from the customary flattery of lesser figures!
"After this, we’re neighbors, and whenever you come to my bar, everything’s on the house!" Jiang Huanyu hurriedly offered a good deal to Wang Hao, then curiously asked, "By the way, Master Wang, you seem quite young. How come you’re so good at Feng Shui?"
Ah, this question now, of course, one mustn’t tell the truth!
"Well, there’s a bit of a story behind it!" Wang Hao, holding Mr. Bai, started spinning a tall tale, "When I was in high school, I went for a walk in the mountains once. It was fate, I guess. Back then I was young and fearless, swimming in the river. After I dived in, when I got back to the shore, I found a cave!"
"Ah?" Jiang Huanyu exclaimed in surprise, "How coincidental!"
"Yeah, it is!" Wang Hao said with a chuckle, "Out of curiosity, I went into the cave and guess what book I found there?"
"What book?" Jiang Huanyu blinked her beautiful eyes at Wang Hao, "Don’t tell me it was Ghost Valley?"
"Exactly!" Wang Hao nodded vigorously, proudly saying, "The book was ’Ghost Valley’s Predictions: The Thirty-six Stratagems’! Ah, speaking of it, it’s quite a pity. The writings of Ghost Valley are really a bit arcane and hard to understand. I studied it for nearly eight years, only just grasped the Feng Shui part. The rest, well, I only got a slight understanding, such a pity, such a pity!"
Damn, Brother Hao’s fabricated story is just so awesome!
A full hundred points!
Sitting in Wang Hao’s arms, Mr. Bai: "Woof Woof!"
Crap you damn dog, at critical moments you better not let me down, you hear!
"That really is a pity," Jiang Huanyu also sighed with a feeling of loss, "Ghost Valley’s ancient book, what else does it document? Could you tell me about it?"
"Of course, that’s no problem!" All these things Wang Hao could make up on the spot, "Astronomy, geography, humanities, politics, physiognomy, predictions, you name it! Especially physiognomy and predictions, those are the real mysteries!"
"Really?" Why else would women generally be interested in these things? The mention of physiognomy and predictions immediately piqued Jiang Huanyu’s interest, "Could you take a look at my fortune later? Or do some sort of prediction?"
Eh? How could I say no?
Wang Hao immediately felt like he was floating, what should he examine? Facial features? Figure? Palm lines? Well now...
"Sure!" Wang Hao agreed, without even a moment’s hesitation!
Holding Little Bai in the car, he said with a laugh, "Then I’ll have a look at you later! But just to be clear, I’m not that skilled in this area, so don’t laugh if I’m not accurate!"
"Ha-ha, why would I?" Jiang Huanyu laughed and then stepped on the gas, "Don’t worry, I have a lot of confidence in the master’s abilities!"
Jiang Huanyu was after all a super-rich and beautiful woman, not to mention on par with Bai Yaning, but certainly no less than Jiang Ruoyun, Wang Hao’s apprentice. So the place she chose was also quite upscale.
It was a very famous western restaurant in Zhonghai City, Hai by Goga!
Although Wang Hao had never been there, he had heard of it.
To use the words of the famous gourmet Alvaro, the food here was unexpectedly delicious, the terrace was stunning, with a view that took in nearly half of Shanghai’s nightscape and all its glitz. Chef Turley knew how to cook food in a modern, fun way that ensured guests would be delighted from start to finish.
Of course, corresponding to its reputation, the food here wasn’t cheap.
But Wang Hao didn’t feel any pressure—when dining with a beautiful woman, it was necessary to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, and in the end, it was he who would be paying!
"Wow! Mr. Jiang is really something else!" Guo Wenming parked the car outside and came over with his wife, marveling as they walked, "To think it’s this place, I’ve only heard about it but never been!"
Zhang Li took a deep breath.
At times like these, it’s hard not to be overwhelmed by such a dramatic change in status and position.
The young man she looked down on before, in the blink of an eye, owned a villa in one of the best villa areas, Golden Stone Town, had become a master, and now her husband’s boss had to cordially invite him to dinner...
Where could one even begin to complain?!
