One hundred and sixty-three chapters, Jade Proverbs
Chapter 163, Jade Admonition
After chatting for a few words, the table actually started talking about business. Qi Ruoxue is really a competent executive director. Zhang Xi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "The design plan has not been finalized yet, and the construction and installation project is still early.
We will also use the bidding method at that time, and we welcome the subsidiaries of Hengming Group to bid. If there is an opportunity for cooperation, that would be the best."
Qi Ruoxue also smiled: "When doing business, you have to plan ahead. If the design plan of Xunluan Building is finalized, we will have more time to do preparation work, study plans, budgets, and tender documents. Then we will get the project approval.
The certainty is greater.”
Zhang Xi nodded: "That's right. When Mr. Rand finalizes the design plan of the Xunluan Building, I can submit the detailed information to Miss Qi. As for the project bidding, we still have to follow the normal procedures... Lan
Mr. De, if you have time and are willing to honor me, can you be a judge for the construction and installation bidding again?"
You Fang waved his hand coolly: "I'm used to being idle and not very interested in doing business. It's okay to ask me to be a judge of architectural design, but forget about project bidding. In business, how should you do business?
Just do business... But Ruo Xue also said that the construction and installation company under the Hengming Group is interested in participating in the bid, and Mr. Zhang has to take care of it. At least under the same conditions, it should be given priority."
Zhang Xi nodded again: "Of course! I am very envious of Hengming Group for having a talent like Miss Qi. She did not forget about the company's business during her vacation and talked about business cooperation in just a few words. If Miss Qi wants to change her job one day
Regarding the environment, you are welcome to work in Yuanchen. As for salary and benefits, it is not a big issue."
This is a joke, but it is also true. If a senior executive like Qi Ruoxue knows her well, any big company will welcome her.
Even if Zhao Hengming was an idiot, he knew what to do at this time. He picked up the tea cup and said half-jokingly: "We were still talking about cooperation just now, so why is Mr. Zhang thinking about poaching people again? Ruoxue is the backbone of Hengming Group, so don't joke
Yes!... I very much hope to cooperate with Yuanchen Enterprise Group and replace wine with tea. I would like to propose a glass to Mr. Zhang first."
Zhang Xi raised a glass and drank together: "I also hope that the cooperation can be successful. In the future, more business may rely on Hengming Group and Macau Niu Enterprises to replace wine with tea. However, this is Mr. Rand's tea?"
Zhao Hengming poured another cup of tea to You Fang: "Thank you, Mr. Rand, for the tea!"
You Fang smiled and raised his glass: "Why is Mr. Zhao so polite? I didn't do anything. Besides, Ruo Xue is my friend."
Zhang Xi asked with some confusion: "Miss Qi, why do you want to work at Hengming Group? In fact, Mr. Rand..."
She was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by You Fang. He took the initiative to explain for her: "Mr. Zhao was Ruoxue's senior at Cambridge. After returning to China, he took the initiative to invite Ruoxue to join the Hengming Group. In fact, Ruoxue has
One wish is to prove that one’s ability is commensurate with one’s identity, is independent, and has nothing to do with other factors, so what can I say?”
Qi Ruoxue's thoughts? You Fang really didn't believe what he said. They met by chance in the bar that night. These words were said by Qi Ruoxue herself. He still remembered it so clearly. Qi Ruoxue opposite looked over with a different kind of look in his eyes.
Feelings.
At this time, Zhao Hengming stood up, walked back to his car, asked the driver to open the trunk, and took out a delicate wooden box. The bodyguard came forward and wanted to hold it for him, but he refused. Zhao Hengming held it in person.
The wooden box came over and put it on the table, opened it and said: "When I visited Yunnan Mingquan Mining last month, I found a piece of top-quality Huanglong Jade from Mr. Xiong. I came in a hurry this time and had no preparations, so I gave it to
Mr. Rand would like to give you a greeting as a gift, but your kindness is not too small, so please don’t refuse.”
Zhao Hengming is not a fool. Although he has dandy habits, he is not a prodigal who only knows how to squander. He likes to live and drink, but he does not waste his own industry. It is considered a good idea to hire an executive like Qi Ruoxue to take care of the company's affairs.
If you know people and make good use of them, you will be happy and at ease.
And he is not indifferent to everything. He knows how to make full use of personal connections and various favorable conditions, which is very helpful to Hengming Group's business. Without him, Hengming Group would not be able to do so much business. This is Qi
The advantages that executives such as Ruo Xue do not possess make it impossible for them to have such great influence in the business world.
On today's occasion, Zhao Hengming couldn't figure out the details of You Fang, but judging from Zhang Xi's reaction, this person was definitely well-established, and his wealth and status were definitely above him. Moreover, You Fang didn't have any ill intentions at all, and his identity was only Qi Ruo.
Xue is just a lover who doesn't want to be made public. If he had any frustrations before coming here, he has nothing to complain about now. The so-called mentality is a very strange thing.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to win the Xunluan Building project. More importantly, establishing a better relationship with the entire Yuanchen Enterprise Group means that there will be more cooperation opportunities and business interests in the future. Of course Zhao Hengming knows it very well.
.As for Qi Ruoxue, he is indeed a competent and outstanding executive director. From his point of view, there is no reason to have any dissatisfaction. If he quits his job, it will be his loss.
As for You Fang, Zhao Hengming's thoughts of finding trouble before he came have all been forgotten. It's enough to give him face if he doesn't care about the unfavorable rumors about Qi Ruoxue. What else can he cause trouble for? Not only that, he also wants to make good friends. Don't
What misunderstanding was caused in person? Zhao Hengming has also experienced many situations. It's not that he doesn't know how to do things, and he can make up for it naturally.
You Fang expressed his gratitude very politely and accepted the gift naturally. He shook hands and said at the end: "It was here last time that I had morning tea with Mr. Niu. Don't forget it when Mr. Zhao sees your grandpa next time.
Please convey my greetings to him and wish him good health and long life."
When Zhao Hengming said goodbye, You Fang sent him to the car door and waved cordially. He came and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he specifically said to Qi Ruoxue: "The company has no important urgent matters at the moment.
Just feel free to spend your vacation with Mr. Rand."
The embarrassment or conflict that Qi Ruoxue was worried about was invisibly resolved by the two old men without any trace.
The Zhang family and his son did not leave. Zhang Xi said that he would play chess with Mr. Rand. As far as Zhao Hengming knew, Zhang Xi's chess skills were quite famous in the business community in Guangzhou. In his early years, he was an amateur fifth-dan, and he had a false title in the Guangzhou Go Association.
He has sponsored several Go competitions organized by the city.
And You Fang just played backgammon, the simplest kind without even a hand ban rule. Zhang Xi obviously lowered his status by playing chess with him, not for the sake of playing chess. Maybe he had something to ask for in private, but
It’s hard to say it directly. This scene was one of the reasons why Zhao Hengming said goodbye. He was not an ignorant person, it just depended on who he was in front of.
After Zhao Hengming left, You Fang did not play chess. He came over and clasped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, thank you both for the face you gave me today! Rand also happened to have something to discuss with you in detail, but I have kept you here.
, can we talk to you privately?”
Zhang Xi was so patient. Although he was very anxious, in order not to disturb Senior Rand's interest in Yongmei Mountain, he originally planned to wait until three days before visiting. However, because of Zhao Hengming, an uninvited guest, he came a day earlier. It would be better to choose a different day.
On that day, the Zhang family and his son presented a beautiful ladder, and You Fang also took the initiative to hand over the stairs without them having to ask, but it seemed that he was asking for help.
He specially welcomed the Zhang family and his son to a small reception room on the first floor of the villa. You Fang asked the two of them to wait a moment. He went upstairs to get a few things. When he came back, he closed the doors and windows, took out seven tungsten stones and skillfully clothed them.
A star array trapped Zhang Xi and his son in the array, and his consciousness was at the center of activating the array.
If he was hostile, this would be a way to invite him to the urn, but the Zhang family and his son didn't mind, and there was still a bit of admiration and dignity in their eyes. You Fang didn't have Xiang Yinghua's ability, she had the Tianji Formation with her.
He can isolate the sound in a space with just a raise of his hand. No matter what expert's spiritual consciousness is, it is impossible to spy on him secretly. However, he also learned from Xiang Yinghua's methods and combined with his own understanding of the Star Xuanji Formation to set up an array to isolate the sound, making the people here
The conversation will not be spread outside, which allows the Zhang family and his son to feel free to speak freely.
After he sat down, Zhang Xi spoke first: "Senior Rand..."
You Fang waved his hand to interrupt him: "In front of fellow sects in Songhe Valley, Mei said that at a young age he did not dare to call himself a senior, even if it was whispered in a secret room."
Zhang Xi smiled and said: "I almost forgot when I was nervous, Mr. Rand, you are so cautious, you must have something important to explain?"
You Fang didn't need to beat around the bush anymore, he got straight to the point: "You two already know that Senior Li Feng has something to entrust to Mei, and the entrustment is related to this jade plaque." He took out a palm-sized jade plaque from his pocket, and said
This is the Xunluan Jade Proverb, a token of the leader of the Xunluan Sect.
Zhang Xi is fifty-three years old this year, and the whereabouts of Xunluan Yuzhen are unknown as early as twelve years before he was born. Of course, he has no chance to see him in person. The sect's token that has been lost for many years appears in front of him for the first time. Zhang Xi holds his breath and stares, as if in front of him.
Worried that the thing would disappear in the blink of an eye, You Fang handed him the jade plaque generously: "Elder Zhang, take a closer look at it. What is this and what's the significance of it?"
"Thank you!" Zhang Xi stood up and bowed respectfully. It looked like he was not facing You Fang. He was focused on the jade plaque. If it weren't for the coffee table blocking his legs, he almost wouldn't have bowed down.
, then he took the jade token, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, as if this was not a jade token, but a piece of tender tofu that would break into pieces at the touch of a touch.
After a long time, the feeling seemed to be real. He slowly put his palms together and held the jade medal in his hand. He sat down and closed his eyes to sense it carefully with his spiritual consciousness. Suddenly, his eyebrows moved slightly.
"Elder Zhang, do you recognize what this is?" You Fang asked calmly.
Zhang Xi opened his eyes: "It's the Xunluan Jade Admonition, the leader's token that has been lost for many years. I didn't expect that I could find it in my lifetime. Thank you Mr. Rand, thank you Senior Li Feng, Zhang is grateful."
!”
"So, Senior Brother Li Feng is not mistaken. It is indeed the Xunluan Jade Admonition. However, Elder Zhang should have never seen this object before. How can he be so sure?" You Fang asked again.
Zhang Xi: "The Xunluan Sect has detailed drawings of this object. Since it is a jade proverb, it certainly has special details that cannot be imagined by ordinary people. And this jade proverb is hundreds of years old at least, and it is even less likely to be a modern one."
Forgery. Last time Senior Li Feng came to Guangzhou, he showed this object to Liu Bing. I took the photo and asked the old man who had seen Xunluan Yuzhen to identify it, and I was ninety percent sure. This time I saw it with my own eyes, and it turned out not to be true.
Fake."
You Fang frowned slightly: "You told the old man of the Xunluan sect this news, was it Senior Brother Hao Fengjun?"
Zhang Xi shook his head: "It's not old Master Hao, but an elder of my Zhang family. He was a servant of the late head Lu Wenxing in his early years. He is very familiar with Xunluan Yuzhen. This person is absolutely reliable and will not spread the news...
In fact, this object is easy to identify. I don’t need to ask others for help. I can identify it as soon as I get it, but..."
Zhang Xi hesitated to speak, but You Fang still asked: "Is there anything wrong with it?"
Zhang Xi: "It has been passed down from generation to generation that the Xunluan Jade Admonition contains the insight and spiritual guidance condensed by the founder of Buyi. After the spiritual consciousness is transformed into spiritual thoughts, the heart seal and enlightenment of the Xunluan Jue passed down by the ancestor can be sensed. Although my realm is not good.
There is only a glimmer of it, but you should be able to barely sense its spirituality. This thing does have traces of an expert’s spiritual thoughts, but..."
You Fang answered: "But there is no clear spiritual guide for seeing and knowing, right? Senior Li Feng mentioned when he gave it to me that the spiritual guide for seeing and knowing in the jade admonition had been erased for some reason. When he got it, it had been
That's right. But the so-called mental method in the Jade Proverb is not a secret text, but a kind of spiritual guide to help later generations understand the true meaning of Xunluan Jue.
The secret method of Xunluan has been passed down from generation to generation, and future generations should have their own insights. It would be great if it can be corroborated with the insights of the ancestors. If there is no such spiritual guidance, it will not hinder the inheritance of the secret method.
It is a kind of spiritual confirmation, and more importantly, it is a symbol of the sect's inheritance. In fact, if this jade proverb is in the hands of Lu Changlin, there will be no difference whether it has a spiritual guide or not."
Of course, You Fang couldn't tell Zhang Xi that Li Feng was the one who was pretending, and that he had cooked the information accidentally. Combined with Master Liu Li's original explanation, what he said was clear and logical.
Zhang Xi nodded and said: "Senior Li Feng's insights are indeed profound. The most important thing about the Xunluan Jade Proverb is the symbol of the sect's inheritance. If future generations have the state of 'spiritual thoughts merged', they can also condense their knowledge again."
Ling Yin. I wonder if Senior Li Feng introduced the origin of the jade maxim to Mr. Rand?"
Zhang Xi casually talked about a state of "spiritual mind integration". You Fangke had never heard his master mention it before, and it was difficult to ask directly and reveal his confidence. He replied in a deep voice: "I didn't tell you in detail, I just said it was
A benefactor’s dying wish is just an entrustment. Elder Zhang, do you think there is anyone in the Xunluan sect who has the hope to reach the state of ‘the integration of spiritual thoughts into form’ and to be able to condense the spiritual guidance of seeing and knowing again?”
Zhang Xi smiled bitterly and replied: "My junior brother Bao Min's greatest wish in this life is to achieve this state of almost unity between man and nature, but I think the hope is too slim. Among the masters alive today, only the Earth Master Liu Li has great skills."
At his peak, he had reached the peak state of spiritual movement. If there were no accidents at that time, he would very likely break through the state of 'spiritual integration'. Unfortunately, an accident happened. It seemed to be a fate of God's will.
In today's world, as far as I know, only Fairy Yueying has hope, and the rest are in trouble. But after getting to know Mr. Rand, I think that if you have deep luck, you may not be without this opportunity. But according to the words of the ancestor
, this realm cannot be discovered only through the cultivation of secret methods. Empty talk is useless, and there is nothing much that can be said. Mr. Rand, senior Li Feng handed over the Xunluan Jade Admonition to you, will you not fail to explain it? You plan to give it - "
Zhang Xi said that You Fang "may not have no chance" to achieve the state of spiritual thought integration, which is already daring him to praise him in the sky. No master in the world has reached this state. The main purpose is to ask the last sentence.
Luan Yuzhen was taken out by You Fang. What does he plan to do with it and what are his requirements?
You Fang's expression was a bit unfathomable: "Actually, it's not a bad idea for me to hand it over to you directly, but Senior Brother Li Feng only said one sentence, 'This thing is a token of the leader of the Xunluan Sect, and it can only be handed over to Xunluan Sect.
In the hands of the leader of the previous sect, does Elder Zhang understand what that means?"
Zhang Xi said with a guilty look on his face: "This is to blame the Xunluan sect for the sect's irregularities for many years. This matter is also related to the unknown whereabouts of the former leader and Xunluan Yuzhen. At that time, the seniors in the sect discussed and temporarily recommended one person to act as the leader.
The task is to wait until the inheritance token is retrieved before the new leader can be officially elected. Master Hao is also one of the witnesses. Alas, this wait will last for sixty-five years!"
You Fang already spoke in a "senior" tone: "The Xunluan Jade Admonition is right in front of you. What is Elder Zhang's plan? There is no one else here except Young Master Ling. You might as well tell me frankly."
Zhang Xi has a lot of things in his heart that he has never said to others. Should he say it now? He hesitated for a while and made a decision. He could only choose to trust You Fang, so he sighed and said: "To be honest with Mr. Rand, Zhang Xi has already
I have the intention to reorganize the sect, but I am powerless and the time has never been ripe. A few days ago, you created an opportunity for me. I went to Junior Brother Bao to have a secret conversation and planned to persuade Senior Uncle Hao to propose a proposal at the next sect gathering of the Xunluan Sect.
Establish an official leader.
The reason why the head of the Xunluan Sect has been absent so far is because the inheritance token has not been returned. Every time there is a discussion, someone uses this as an excuse to delay. Now, I would like to thank Senior Li Feng and Mr. Rand for returning the Xunluan Jade Proverb all the way. This proposal
, everyone will no longer have an excuse to object. I made up my mind to do this after I learned that you were entrusted by Senior Li Feng. Otherwise, according to past experience, every time this matter is mentioned, there will be one more dispute and ultimately dissatisfaction.
But the separation will only deepen the estrangement between the same sects."
When You Fang heard this, his face became solemn, and he asked with a slight sneer: "Elder Zhang, please tell the truth. Do you think that the current situation of the Xunluan Sect is really due to the failure to retrieve the Xunluan Jade Proverb? With this jade
, can the sect be revitalized? Using the Jade Admonition as an excuse to force everyone to elect an official leader, can we save the Xunluan sect from being separated?"
This series of questions made Zhang Xi lower his head and find it difficult to answer. Zhang Liubing on the side finally spoke: "Mr. Rand, can I say something?"
