To retreat in order to advance

  "Mr. Qian, what's up? Please speak."

  Qian Wen-chang took out the 20,000 yuan from his bag that he was just about to give to Old Ye, "Master, you take this money first, as a labor fee for your trip."

  Lao Ye waved his hand, "Mr. Qian, you're too polite, let's just forget about it."

  "No, no, Master, you must accept it. If not, I will feel uneasy in my heart for letting you come all the way here."

  After declining for a while, Old Ye hinted to let Tang Zhendong take it. Then he declined Qian Wen-chang's intention to send the two back, and when they were about to part ways, Old Ye said to Qian Wen-chang, "Mr. Qian, I have something to say, although it's not convenient for me to say now, but it's a matter of life and death, I must say that if your house in Haitian Plaza can't completely resolve this three-yin place, it's better to move out first."

  Qian Wen-chang nodded upon hearing Old Ye's words, "Thank you, Master. I'll be in touch with you again later."

  。。。。。。。。。

  Tang Zhendong and Old Ye were on their way back, although Tang Zhendong understood Old Ye's entire approach very clearly, but there was one thing that made him extremely puzzled. "Old Ye, you initially refused the money given by Qian Wenchang, which I can understand. It's obvious that this is a case of 'putting out a long line to catch a big fish'. Later, you accepted his money, which I can also make sense of. You must have felt uncertain about resolving the issue of the three yin lands and were afraid of 'beating the water with a bamboo basket' in vain. But why would Qian Wenchang give you money again after you had refused it initially, and even after you agreed to let that so-called 'great virtue' take a look at the feng shui first? Don't tell me someone thinks that having too much money is a hassle and they're eager to get rid of it, or that this great virtue's reputation isn't as good as yours!"

  Although Lao Ye admired Tang Zhen Dong very much, especially Tang Zhen Dong's knowledge and abilities in Feng Shui, which made Lao Ye feel inferior. However, it is not difficult to deny that the cooperation between the two was still quite good, because at many times, no matter whether what Tang Zhen Dong said had any effect or not, even Lao Ye would unconsciously follow his thinking after listening to Tang Zhen Dong's words.

  The most famous skill of a Feng Shui master is to grasp people's hearts with words and make them follow your thinking.

  "Haha, Little Tang, your knowledge of Feng Shui is much better than mine, I must say. However, when it comes to understanding human hearts, you're not as good as your big brother me! Let me ask you, this Qian Wen Chang, does he look like a fool to you?"

  "He's not stupid, how could he be? Although he doesn't talk much, but he can get a full scholarship for his PhD and even establish such a large tech company, how could he be stupid?"

  "What you said is right, Qian Wen-chang must not be a fool. If it's said that he has a lot of money, this can't be denied. However, if you say that he feels like his money is biting his hand, don't even mention whether you believe it or not, I myself don't believe it either. Then why would he forcibly stuff money into our pockets?"

  Lao Ye's patient guidance suddenly enlightened Tang Zhen, and he understood the key points. "Oh, I see! He must have been moved by your words 'you have a way to resolve this three-yin land' and wants to pre-empt you."

  Tang Zhendong said, "The more I think about it, the clearer my mind becomes. Why did he want to make a reservation? First, he has money and doesn't care about the 30,000 or 20,000 yuan. Second, because he's not entirely confident in that so-called great master's abilities. I reckon the great master not only can't solve the problem of the three yin areas but also doesn't even know what specific situation this house is in. This makes Qian Wenchang have no faith in him at all, so he wants to get on good terms with you first. As for why he wanted to give us money, that's where Qian Wenchang is clever - he knows a saying: 'A good horse doesn't eat grass it has already passed by.' If this great master can't solve Qian Wenchang's feng shui problem and comes back to find us again, then he'll be afraid we'll open our mouths wide and ask for more. Anyway, he has no one else to turn to, and he already knows we can solve the problem. So by giving us money in advance, he's trying to build a good relationship with us so that when something happens, it'll be easier to talk things over. Ah, how clever!"

  Lao Ye was also clearly told by Tang Zhen Dong, and he was taken in. He only understood one of the key points, but Tang Zhen Dong's analysis was clear and logical, thorough and meticulous. However, he naturally wouldn't show it, "You've made a good point, I hadn't thought of that," Lao Ye patted Tang Zhen Dong on the shoulder, "Good job, smart, your analysis is not bad, you've made progress."

  "Hahaha," Tang Zhendong burst out laughing. Old Ye also followed suit, laughing loudly with Tang Zhendong. These past few days have been incredibly smooth sailing for business, and they hadn't even had to try hard - each person was making a profit of 200,000 yuan.

  "I have another question, why did you let this business go to that so-called Da De? Don't tell me it's because of the Feng Shui rule of first come first served, when it comes to money, I don't believe in this rule of first come first served being preserved until now."

  "Haha, this rule is not clear even if I say it." Old Ye heard Tang Zhendong's question and told the truth.

  "Haha, now that you mention it, I understand everything. If your rule is nonsense, then can't I infer that you actually don't have a solution to this problem? The confident claim you made to Qian Wenchang about resolving the three yin areas without any effort was just boasting and exaggeration?"

  Lao Ye also burst out laughing, "You're so clever, you little scamp! I think not only can you get into college, but even Stanford wouldn't be a problem!"

  "I'm even more surprised, if you can't solve the problem of someone's Guimen Sha and San Yin Zhi Di, how can you have such a big mouth, speaking as if it's a small matter that can be solved in minutes?"

  This time, Old Ye didn't continue to test Tang Zhendong's IQ, but directly said the answer, "I indeed have no way to solve this three-yin land, but I can't solve it, isn't there still you?"

  "Me? How can you be sure I'm the one who can solve this problem?"

  "I have an inexplicable confidence in you, this confidence comes from nowhere, I also can't tell where it's from, anyway, I just have confidence. Moreover, you can easily say that this is a land of three yins, and yet you don't have a solution?"

  Lao Ye was also an absolutely clever person, Tang Zhen Dong helplessly shook his head, "Alright, I admit it, I can indeed solve this Three Yin Territory. The Three Yin Territory sounds very mysterious and powerful, but breaking it isn't that difficult."

  。。。。。。。。。。

  Qian's old house.

  "Brother, how could you really give the money to these two people? They haven't even said how they're going to solve our family's problem yet?" Shen Fanhua didn't speak up, but Qian Wenmei asked her brother Qian Wenchang.

  "Money is actually a small matter, what I'm afraid of is that the great master I found can't solve our family's problem at all. If we come back to find Master Ye again, I'm afraid we'll be led by the nose and become laughing stocks, those who eat their words are not good horses."

  "Wen Chang, how did you know that this great master can't solve our family's problem? I think he has a very majestic and dignified air about him." Shen Fanhua also raised her own question.

  "Master Da De just came to take the Luo Pan, turned it around in a circle, and couldn't say anything. I'm a bit uneasy, but I also can't rule out the possibility that he's hiding his true intentions and keeping quiet."
