The tall banyan trees create a dense green that blocks the scorching sunshine; a few peach trees are scattered around, making this place a refreshing paradise.
The afternoon at the Water Family is intoxicating. In a secluded area of the artificial lake corridor, next to a bamboo tea table, Zhu Tong, Fan Xin and Liao Feng are enjoying afternoon tea comfortably.
I happened to bring my son, who had just turned six months old, to relax. After receiving everyone's blessings and compliments, I went to play in the water with satisfaction on the boat.
Compared with the plumpness a month ago, I have lost some weight, but my sexy figure is more charming.
Zhu Tong naturally had his own plans for borrowing Tian Xuyang's Feng Shui treasure land. Mr. Tian has rarely been in Shanghai recently, and the Shuishui family here would be almost deserted if Zhu Tong didn't come to visit.
Liao Feng and Zhu Tong sat back on the leisure chairs and watched Taoist Fanxin playing with the tea sets on the tea table. After a while, three cups of tender yellow tea soup exuding a delicate fragrance were brought to them.
"There is always new tea in Wushan. You can't drink it anywhere except going to Daodetang." Fan Xin said contentedly.
Liao Feng picked up the teacup: "Just smelling the fragrance of tea makes me drunk."
Zhu Tong was fiddling with his mobile phone, making sure that Duohua on the other side of the artificial lake could hear the conversation here, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liao is a person who understands tea."
Liao Feng smiled brightly, put down the tea cup and said: "I don't really understand tea. The art of tea is profound and profound, and no one dares to boast that I really understand tea. I used to like drinking coffee, and I also got a whole set of guys. Over the years, I have gradually become more and more mature.
I'm used to drinking tea. It's a pity that everything changes when it comes to China. Let's talk about this tea. In the past, a pound of good West Lake Longjing was only a hundred bucks, but now the price changes every year, and there will always be an increase.
The reason for the price is inexplicably in the thousands, and it is still a very ordinary West Lake Longjing. When Chinese people have money, they like to get together and join in the fun, speculating in real estate, stocks, traditional Chinese medicine, and grain. They are just racking their brains to speculate.
, it’s us ordinary people like us who suffer the loss.”
"With Mr. Liao's current wealth, he won't care about these things, right?" Zhu Tong put down his mobile phone and said with a smile; "I heard that Mr. Liao just bought a house, and the housing prices in Shanghai..."
"A small house, a small house, cannot be compared with Mr. Li." Liao Feng shook his head, showing a hint of pride.
He originally had a welfare house in the school. He had made a lot of money by publishing books and doing programs some time ago. When he had a lot of money, he used bank loans to mortgage two small apartments. Instead of living there by himself, he rented them out after a little renovation.
, the rent is just enough to repay the loan. In any sense, he is also speculating in real estate.
"Is the money enough? If necessary, just speak." Zhu Tong said seriously; "Thanks to Mr. Liao's help last year, Mr. Fanxin and I have been looking for opportunities to thank him."
"Thank you, Boss Li, for your kindness. Although I don't have much money, it's still enough." Liao Feng said, his eyes flashed twice on Zhu Tong's face, and then said, "When it comes to pressure, it's a little bit. Every month
I have to repay the bank loan... Haha, I don’t need the money. It would be best if Boss Li needs Liao for anything."
"Mr. Liao is really a gentleman." Zhu Tong raised his tea cup to express his gratitude and said, "I have nothing to do. Mr. Fanxin would like to ask Mr. Liao for help."
"Oh, please tell me, Mr. Fanxin." Liao Feng looked at Fanxin hopefully.
Fan Xin said with a smile: "That's right. Originally, I didn't want to trouble Mr. Liao with this matter. But Boss Li said that Mr. Liao is well-educated and well-read, and has a solid theoretical foundation. Now his reputation is growing. If Mr. Liao participates in this matter, it will be settled.
It works wonders.”
"What's the matter? Boss Li just said that we are friends. You're welcome." Liao Feng said.
"Does Mr. Wushan Wenfengguan know?"
Liao Feng nodded; "I know, a friend went there last month and talked about it when he came back."
Of course Liao Feng knew about Wenfeng Temple in Wushan. At this time last year, "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" wrote a big article in the name of Wenfeng Temple, which finally forced a distinguished big man to bow his head and admit defeat. And Liao Feng, it was
He benefited from this event and stood out among many candidates. Although, he did not know that there were not many so-called candidates.
"Wenfengguan is the work of Mr. Fanxin. We have just completed the first phase of investment and need a reason to attract the public's attention." Zhu Tong observed Liao Feng and said.
"Wenfeng Temple is a Taoist Taoist temple. With Taoism's long and profound heritage, there should be no need for hype." Liao Feng said.
"Wenfengguan and Daodetang are both industries under the name of Daozong, and they are long-term investments, but we also have shareholders, and we must give them an explanation. There is only one criterion for measurement, attention." Fan Xin poured the second tea soup.
"We need to find an opportunity to make everyone pay attention to Taoist culture. Mr. Li believes that we need to set up a special publicity agency to introduce to the outside world and display the ideals and concepts of Taoism so that Taoism can enter everyone's lives."
"This is a systematic project." Liao Feng said.
"That's why I need to ask you to host it. The cost is easy to discuss. Mr. Fanxin plans to establish a Taoist cultural research center. It would be useful to ask Mr. Liao Feng to be the standard bearer."
"I'm afraid Liao Feng cannot bear such a big responsibility." Liao Feng said modestly.
"You have a team behind you, and we will provide the best environment for you." Fan Xin said; "Inviting Mr. Liao to join is the result of our careful consideration. If you agree, we will hold a grand Taoist ceremony at Shanshui Taoist Temple, China
Vice Chairman of the Taoist Association, Master Yu Xuan, will attend. As for the issue of Mr. Liao's treatment, Master Yu Xuan has said that as long as Mr. Liao agrees, everything can be discussed."
Fan Xin threw out the first card and waited for Liao Feng's response.
"The influence of Taoism has penetrated deeply into the blood of the Chinese nation. Chinese people are unconsciously influenced by Taoist culture in all aspects of their lives. The most obvious one is awe! Awe of the way of nature! Tao follows the four principles of nature.
The word is like a huge stone, which allows people to maintain a calm and contented state of mind. At the same time, it also suppresses the thoughts of the Chinese people and kills the enterprising spirit that is missing from the Chinese nation. Therefore, I have always admired the Taoist lifestyle, but I am not interested in Taoist ideas.
At the core, I disagree. Liao asked himself that he was not talented enough to take on such a big responsibility."
"That's why it needs to be changed." Zhu Tong said; "Sir, he is very keen to see the shortcomings of Taoism. The thinking mode of being content with being rich and being content with destiny does need to be changed. However, what he didn't see is the flaws of Taoist culture.
On the surface, the true meaning of the natural way is to seize opportunities and strive to rise, rather than to obey."
"For Liao Feng's shallowness, please give me some advice from Boss Li." Liao Feng put down his body and humbly asked Zhu Tong for advice.
Zhu Tong thought to himself, this is really a difficult character to deal with.
Liao Feng was probably a little wary of today's meeting. Duohua had shut down her phone since yesterday, effectively cutting off all contact with the outside world. At the same time, she made an appointment with him to meet. With Liao Feng's IQ and scheming, he had probably thought of all kinds of things.
Maybe, his performance just now should be acting. Liao Feng's current mount is a Santana 2000. This choice shows that he is very cautious and knows his own weight.
The more this happens, the more interesting Zhu Tong finds it. Both parties know each other's intentions, and the challenge lies in when to reveal each other's trump cards.
Daozong really needs an external publicity agency. Fanxin was in charge of it before, but the effect has always been unsatisfactory. Zhu Tong suggested that Daozong introduce Liao Feng, and the only condition is that he will bear all the expenses. Of course, there is no problem with Master Yu Xuan, and Fanxin also
We welcome such scholars and idols to join us.
But Zhu Tong's real purpose was to tear off Liao Feng's mask. Liao Feng simply didn't take the bait, that is, he didn't ask about the price offered by Daozong, leaving him at a loss.
"I can't speak of teaching you, but we finally have the opportunity to sit together and have a casual chat." Zhu Tong decided to extend the front line and first eliminate Liao Feng's inner guard.
An hour passed. The three people's conversation ranged from Taoist culture to Taoist practice methods, from Laozi to Pengzu to the bamboo Taoist statue of Shanshui Taoist Temple. All kinds of strange and strange things continued to come out of Zhu Tong and Fan Xin's mouths, little by little.
Killing Liao Feng.
The effect is there, but not very obvious; Liao Feng is very cautious, he will not trust anyone easily, especially a successful person with a far-reaching reputation like "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang".
"Sir, do you believe in numerology?" Zhu Tong was unable to break through Liao Feng's defense, so he had to use his trump card.
"Boss Li can also tell fortunes?" Liao Fengqi asked.
"I can't say fortune telling. I have done some research on the art of measuring Chinese characters. Sir, you should know that the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine lies in the study of meridians, and the basis of the study of meridians lies in the Five Elements Yili, Chinese Character Testing, and Xiaodaoer."
Liao Feng thought for a while, stretched out his right index finger to dip the tea soup in it, and wrote two words on the tea table: Phoenix.
"Boss Li, Liao uses these two words to ask about the future."
"Phoenix;" Zhu Tong frowned and smiled bitterly. This Liao Feng is really witty. There is a saying that the test of words is to use words to talk about people, and it is best to be able to relate to animals. But the word "Phoenix" written by Liao Feng is
It represents a magical bird that cannot be taken apart or beaten to pieces; in terms of deception, he doesn't believe in this trick at all, it is just a hard nut.
Even if it cannot be dismantled, it must be dismantled by force. Zhu Tong gritted his teeth and forced himself into the state.
"The two characters "Phoenix" together represent a state. The Phoenix flies high for nine days and needs to go through the painful experience of being reborn from the ashes. With Mr. Liao as the main body, he only occupies the character "Feng" now, which cannot be considered a success. From these two characters
From the above, it can be seen that Mr. Liao has the potential for Nirvana. If Mr. Liao wants to enter the realm of 'Phoenix', he needs two opportunities." Zhu Tong stretched out two fingers and fixed them in front of Liao Feng's eyes.
Liao Feng smiled nonchalantly: "Which two opportunities?"
"The word "chance" is unfathomable, and those who make false claims will be punished by God." Zhu Tong began to tell the truth; "Looking at Mr. Liao's intention, I don't believe in Li's words. Whatever, I am happy today, so I will show off here. Don't talk about it.
In the future, let me first talk about your past. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Mr. Liao is now thirty-two this year, so I will use the word 'Phoenix' to talk about your life before you were thirty."
"Thirty years ago..." Liao Feng was attracted.
"Mr. Liao came from a poor family and was orphaned at an early age. He had a very unfortunate fate. As a young man, he was self-reliant and worked hard on his own..."
Zhu Tong slowly recounted Liao Feng's information. Most of these were obtained from Liao Feng's diary. Of course, they were embellished and biased, but they were his true voice.
