Chapter 708 Seeing Jie Sanbao Again
The secretary shook her head. "The designer has already left, but he should still be in the provincial capital. As for the Feng Shui master, I only have a slight impression. I think his surname was Hu. Director Shen called him Old Hu."
Ye Yang shook his head at me, indicating that I didn't need to ask any further.
I dismissed the secretary and then cupped my fist at Xie Sanbao. "Director Xie, thank you. I have something else to take care of."
Xie Sanbao stood up and said, "Master Li, are you going to deal with Xie Yueling? Can you show some mercy? If Xie Yueling has offended you in any way, I'm willing to make amends."
I waved my hand. "Although this matter has something to do with Xie Yueling, it's not a big deal! You don't need to worry."
Xie Sanbao breathed a sigh of relief and personally saw us out.
As soon as Ye Yang got into the car, he said, "You guys go find that Feng Shui master, I'll go find the designer!"
"That design drawing is very ordinary, and no one can see anything strange about it. But I'm sure that they built something first and then built the public cemetery on top of it."
"If we can't get accurate drawings, we can only turn the cemetery upside down, but that would be too much of a commotion and would only cause me trouble."
Longwan Cemetery is one of the few high-end cemeteries in the provincial capital. Although the people buried there aren't dignitaries, they still have some assets. We're not afraid of these people's families individually, but if they band together, they'll cause us a lot of trouble.
If we want to turn the cemetery upside down, we'll have to face them head-on.
Of course, Ye Yang could also use tomb raiding methods to enter from the underground tunnels. However, a public cemetery isn't an imperial mausoleum. There are hundreds or thousands of people buried inside. We can't possibly dig them up one by one to see what's going on, can we?
If we really did that, I'm afraid we wouldn't finish digging even in a year.
Ye Yang said, "You guys hurry up. Whether you find the person or not, you have to go back before dark."
"If you find the person, don't waste any time, just ask him for photos of the cemetery before it was built. I want to see what's so strange about it."
"Be careful!" I said to Ye Yang, and then went to another district with Lin Zhao.
On the way, I also called Lao Liu. "That's basically the situation! Have Zhao Ci try to find the old-timers who built the graves in Longwan back then and ask them about the situation in detail. Also..."
"Find a way to catch Hei Ye Xiao (Black Night Owl). If that doesn't work, let him drill into the graves one by one to see what's inside."
Lao Liu agreed and immediately went to Longwan Cemetery with Butcher Wang.
I also received news from Xie Sanbao that the designer who resigned was named Ma Cheng Lin. He opened his own design company, specializing in interior decoration. The company was located in the building materials market.
When Lin Zhao and I arrived at the company, the first thing Lin Zhao saw was a string of Wu Di coins hanging on the front of his shop. "Look over there, could this person be an Yin Xiansheng (Hidden Master)?"
In the world of術道 (Shu Dao, Arts and Tao), there is a class of practitioners called Yin Xiansheng (Hidden Masters). They never do business openly, nor do they reveal their identities as practitioners. They only help some acquaintances or employers introduced by relatives and friends in private.
These people usually have another identity to conceal themselves, from public officials to small vendors, they are almost everywhere.
These people are called Yin Xiansheng (Hidden Masters) by the Shu Dao (Arts and Tao).
In order to avoid misunderstandings with other practitioners, Yin Xiansheng (Hidden Masters) generally choose to use subtle methods to show their identity to fellow practitioners. Even if ordinary people see the signs of an Yin Xiansheng (Hidden Master), they will think that they are Feng Shui ornaments. Only practitioners can see the true meaning of the other party.
I walked into the company and asked the receptionist, "Can you design indoor Feng Shui here? I believe in Feng Shui and want to find a real master to help me design."
The receptionist smiled and said, "Our company can design Feng Shui decoration, but the only master in Feng Shui layout is Director Ma. If you want to hire Director Ma to design the decoration, you must make an appointment. Director Ma's schedule is already full and is scheduled to be in June next year. Moreover, Director Ma's design fee is relatively high. However, we have other excellent designers."
I smiled and said, "As long as the design is satisfactory, money is not a problem. However, I have to see the level of your designers first."
The receptionist took out a sample and said, "These are some classic residences that our company has decorated. You can take a look first."
I threw the information to Lin Zhao. "Secretary Lin, take a look first."
I'm not pretending to be a big shot, it's just that I really don't understand.
Lin Zhao flipped through a few pages. "Your designers aren't very good! I'm not saying that your designs are bad, but Feng Shui and aesthetics can't be combined. This doesn't meet our boss's requirements."
Lin Zhao pointed to the photo and said, "Take this office as an example. Hanging a landscape painting behind the chair is said to have a backing in Feng Shui. However, don't you think it's a bit uncoordinated to match a European-style design with a traditional Chinese painting?"
"And this one, the gathering wealth formation is arranged in a规中矩 (gui zhong ju, standard way), but in order to make the interior beautiful, you moved the Feng Shui formation half a foot to the left. Don't underestimate the distance of only half a foot, it's enough to turn it into a useless formation."
"What we want is a Feng Shui formation, not psychological comfort."
"Do you have any other designers?"
