Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Be a Person of Conscience_1

Fifteen minutes later.

A middle-aged man with a bulky build, chubby cheeks and large ears, and a thick gold chain around his neck, embodied the image of a nouveau-riche, and he appeared on time in front of Shen Tianxing and Long Yang.

Pu Dahai sized up Long Yang and Shen Tianxing and asked directly, "May I know which one of you is Miss Long?"

Long Yang stepped forward and extended her hand, "I am Long Yang! You must be Mr. Pu, right?"

Pu Dahai smiled and nodded, "Yes, that’s me, Pu Dahai."

After shaking hands with Long Yang, he asked her, "Are you all planning to go in and take a look at the building now?"

Long Yang nodded, "Yes, is that convenient?"

Pu Dahai thought for a moment and decided to lay his cards on the table, to explain the actual situation to them, so that he wouldn’t be blamed if anything happened.

"Miss Long, here’s the deal—the building, ever since it was constructed, has had some issues. I set up a supermarket here and now even that can’t continue. Tenants on the upper floors keep having accidents, big and small, and now they’ve all left. If you’re looking to rent or buy, you really need to think it through, so you can’t accuse me, Pu Dahai, of cheating you!"

Seeing that Pu Dahai was still being honest at this stage, not solely focused on profit and frankly speaking the truth, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but think more highly of him.

Shen Tianxing asked, "Boss Pu, have you not had a Feng Shui master come to look at the problems with your building?"

Pu Dahai sighed deeply, "Of course, I have—several, in fact. They cost me over a hundred thousand, but the problem still exists. I was really driven to a corner, which is why I’m considering transferring the ownership of this building."

Shen Tianxing smiled faintly, "Boss Pu, you’re quite honest. Aren’t you afraid that by saying this, we might not buy the building?"

Pu Dahai waved his hand generously, "That’s alright. Even if I’m looking for a buyer, I have to do so with a clear conscience. I can’t bury my integrity. Otherwise, if the next owner runs into trouble, what good will it do for me? As a businessman, you must act with integrity, right?"

Shen Tianxing chuckled and nodded, "You’re absolutely right! To live and to do business, one must act with integrity. As long as you, Boss Pu, keep to your principles, you’re bound to become very rich and successful in the future."

When Long Yang heard what Shen Tianxing said, she smiled at Pu Dahai, "Congratulations Boss Pu, with Master Shen’s golden words, you won’t have any worries in the future."

Pu Dahai was still a bit clueless and looked at Long Yang with a surprised face, asking, "Master Shen? Where is the master? Surely you’re not talking about this young lady?"

Long Yang smiled and nodded, introducing her, "This is the famed Master Shen, whom most people can hardly persuade to take action. Master Shen is now looking to do charitable work and is in need of office space. As the facilitator, I found the location of your building to be quite good, so Master Shen and I decided to come have a look together."

Pu Dahai looked at Shen Tianxing with a shocked face, his expression filled with disbelief, "A master that young? My apologies for any disrespect!"

In his heart, he thought, if this young girl is a master, either it must be a joke or she might be someone genuinely skilled.

Seeing Shen Tianxing’s aura radiating spiritual energy, and almost having the air of a Little Fairy, Pu Dahai chose to believe the latter, that she was a gifted individual with true insight.

Shen Tianxing, having a good impression of Pu Dahai, spoke candidly, "Boss Pu, let’s go upstairs and take a look! It’s not just the exterior environment of the building that has Feng Shui issues; I’m afraid someone has tampered with the inside as well..."

When Pu Dahai heard that someone might have tampered with the inside of the building, his face turned to shock, "What did you say? Master, you mean someone has sabotaged inside this building as well? How is that possible? Who would do such a thing to me?"

Shen Tianxing just smiled, "Whether it’s true or not, we’ll find out once we go inside."

It seemed as if Pu Dahai suddenly realized something, narrowing his eyes, before he immediately said to Shen Tianxing and Long Yang, "Let’s go, I’ll take you inside for a look. With a master here, there shouldn’t be any accidents, right? I even feel a bit jittery going in there now. It always feels like the atmosphere inside is really oppressive, very unsettling..."

Shen Tianxing smiled faintly, "Don’t worry! With me here, I absolutely won’t let anything happen to you."

Reassured by Shen Tianxing’s promise, Pu Dahai let out a sigh of relief and respectfully gestured with his hand, "Master Shen, after you!"

Shen Tianxing nodded and moved to the forefront.

Pu Dahai, Long Yang, and Ya Wenzhen followed behind Shen Tianxing.

As they walked, Pu Dahai said, "Master Shen, I did put a lot of effort into constructing this building. Each floor of the main building has over five thousand square meters, and the two annexes also have more than three thousand square meters each—quite vast, right?"

Shen Tianxing nodded.

Pu Dahai then led her to the window, looking back, "Master Shen, look at the back. I’ve even added a parking lot and a small garden for relaxation."

"I originally opened a supermarket in this building. The first floor sold daily necessities, the second sold clothes, the third home appliances, the fourth was used for offices, and the fifth floor was for the manager’s and staff’s dormitories. I rented out any extra offices on the fourth and extra rooms on the fifth."

"I had hoped to make a big splash, to make a fortune, but who would have thought, after the launch, one problem followed another. It turned out that I didn’t just fail to make a fortune; I also lost a significant amount of money, ending up disheartened and ridiculed by my friends quite a few times."

Hearing his last comment, Shen Tianxing gently reminded, "Boss Pu, there’s something off about the arrangement here. You have to be careful about the people around you, and be discerning in your associations."

As soon as Pu Dahai heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "Master Shen, do you mean that my downfall here is due to scheming individuals?"

Shen Tianxing did not confirm or deny. Instead, she pointed upstairs, "Let’s go take a look at the rooftop."

Once they got to the rooftop, they were all struck by the howling wind and the cold that seemed to settle upon them.

While Shen Tianxing, protected by her spiritual energy, was unaffected, Long Yang, Ya Wenzhen, and Pu Dahai collectively shivered.

Long Yang muttered, "Why does it feel so much colder up here? Master, is there something special about this place?"

Shen Tianxing nodded affirmatively, "Correct! I already mentioned that there must be an issue inside this building. Boss Pu, have these piles of sand at the corners of the building always been here?"

Pu Dahai shook his head, "They weren’t here before. I remember everything being cleaned up when the construction work was finished. Who could have put them here?"

Shen Tianxing gave him a sidelong glance, "You don’t come up to this rooftop often, do you?"

Pu Dahai nodded, "Indeed, I’ve never come up here. Master, is there something wrong with the sand?"
