Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Hearing Wang Xiaohua put it that way, Wang Dashan couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile.

Only then did he realize he shouldn't have messaged Wang Yaohua so quickly; he should have asked Wang Xiaohua's opinion first, then made the final decision.

But the message had already been sent to Wang Yaohua, and taking it back was impossible now.

So the matter could only stay as it was.

When we return to Guangzhou on October 6th, I'll discuss salary with Wang Yaohua then.

Wang Dashan felt a base salary of three thousand for Wang Yaohua would be about right; after all, the other employees also have a base of three thousand and rely on commissions.

Too high a base salary would instead breed laziness, which isn't conducive to striving.

In the blink of an eye it was the next day; today was October 2nd, and early in the morning Wang Dashan received a call from Xu Mingxin.

Xu Mingxin said he'd landed a big deal on his end — the client was a property flipper looking to buy several units, and he'd maneuvered to privately transfer the client to Shanhai Real Estate, with the client already agreeing.

The only condition was that the client had to be taken for viewings before ten o'clock this morning.

Hearing this news, Wang Dashan was first surprised and delighted, because for property consultants, property flippers are the highest-quality clients; this type of client doesn't need much sweet-talking to close readily, and one closing means several units — some even buy a dozen or more at once — especially in second- and third-tier cities without purchase restrictions.

But after the surprise, Wang Dashan found himself in a bind.

"Brother Xu, my car broke down on the way back, and I don't know if it's been fixed yet."

By now Wang Dashan had started calling Xu Mingxin "Brother Xu" instead of Manager Xu, because Xu Mingxin had brought in the majority of Shanhai Real Estate's turnover, so he naturally treated him with extra respect.

Hearing this, Xu Mingxin immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Never mind your car breaking down — even if your leg were broken, you'd better hurry back to me. A big client like this doesn't come often; if you miss it, you lose at least a hundred or two hundred thousand, maybe even several hundred thousand in income. Get back here right now! When you arrive, just drive my car to take them for viewings!"

Hearing that, Wang Dashan hurriedly agreed:

"Okay, okay, I'll pack up now and head back to Guangzhou with my second brother right away!"

Wang Dashan hung up and immediately went to tell Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai also felt they had to rush back.

So the two brothers hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to set off.

Stepping out of the living room, Mother Li Xiulan had just finished making breakfast, while Father Wang Zhanggen had just woken up and was sitting at the dining table waiting to eat.

Seeing the two sons come out dragging suitcases, Wang Zhanggen immediately darkened his face:

"Where are you two going?"

Wang Dashan then told the truth:

"The company has an urgent matter that we must go back and handle."

Wang Zhanggen, however, was unhappy:

"Whatever big thing it is, you have to wait until after the festival to go back; in two days we still have to go bury your grandfather!"

The old man's bones were only just dug up; the burial isn't until October 4th.

Right now it's October 2nd, yet the two sons want to go back to Guangzhou.

They only helped dig him up, but won't go together to bury him.

That amounts to starting but not finishing, stopping halfway; if the old man's spirit in heaven knows, he'd probably be unhappy, it would affect the feng shui, and he wouldn't protect them.

So Wang Zhanggen felt that no matter how huge the matter, they had to wait until after October 4th before leaving.

"Dad, burying Grandpa — you and Uncle can handle it; we really have an emergency."

Wang Erhai put it that way.

Wang Zhanggen, however, didn't sympathize, his face still stern:

"No matter how urgent, nothing is more urgent than your grandfather's burial!"

Hearing that, Wang Dashan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help complaining:

"Grandpa didn't just pass away; his bones are already being reburied — no, this is the third burial — you and Uncle can handle it; we have a huge deal to close, and this deal can make us a lot of money!"

Wang Erhai, for his part, said:

"If Grandpa's spirit in heaven knows, he'd definitely want us to go back to Guangzhou; he would understand us."

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"No, you can't go. This matter can be big or small; if it ruins the feng shui, our family won't have a good life for generations to come. Money can never be fully earned from others, but once the family feng shui is ruined, it's very hard to fix!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhanggen went over and took down Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai's suitcases.

Seeing this, Wang Dashan laughed in anger.

"Anyway, no matter what, I have to go back to Guangzhou today! You won't let me take the suitcases? Fine, you can have the suitcases!"

Wang Dashan's attitude hardened.

He turned to leave.

But Wang Zhanggen immediately ran to block the door.

"You can't go! I'm your father; you won't even listen to your father anymore? Wings hardened and you want to rebel?"

Wang Zhanggen flew into a rage on the spot.

He was now locked in a standoff with Wang Dashan.

Neither side would yield to the other.

It looked like father and son might actually come to blows over this.

At this moment, Wang Xiaohua came out of the room.

"You all stop arguing, just ask that Geography Master and it'll be settled. If he thinks Big Brother and Second Brother leaving now won't affect the feng shui, then let them leave."

With Wang Xiaohua putting it that way, Wang Changgen also felt it was reasonable.

Wang Dashan, on the other hand, said resentfully:

"Even if the Geography Master says we can't go, I still have to go. A several-hundred-thousand-yuan order — I don't want to miss it!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly persuaded:

"Big Brother, don't speak yet. Arguing won't solve the problem. I'll help you solve it."

Wang Dashan then said:

"Then hurry up. I must be back at the company before ten o'clock."

At this, Wang Xiaohua turned around and said to Wang Changgen:

"Give me your mobile phone. I'll call the Geography Master."

Wang Changgen also wanted to consult the Geography Master's suggestion. After all, he was a professional in feng shui matters.

So he handed his mobile phone to Wang Xiaohua.

Because he didn't quite know how to open a conversation with the Geography Master. He was originally not good at communication. Since Wang Xiaohua took the initiative to go speak to the Geography Master, he might as well let him do the talking.

The Geography Master's contact information had been saved in his contact list a few days ago.

Wang Xiaohua dialed the Geography Master's number and opened with:

"Hello, Master. I'm Wang Changgen's son, Wang Xiaohua. You came yesterday to help our family dig a grave. Do you remember?"

"I remember, I remember. Is there something?" The Geography Master on the other end replied politely.

Wang Xiaohua turned on speakerphone so Wang Changgen could also hear the Geography Master's voice, then said:

"It's like this. My big brother and second brother run a company in Guangzhou. Right now their company suddenly got a big order and they need to go back today to handle it. Please calculate for us: if they leave right now and don't attend the burial ceremony on the fourth, will it affect the feng shui? My dad is very worried it'll affect the feng shui and insists they stay. If you can calculate an auspicious result, then when we meet again later, we'll give you an additional big red envelope."

With Wang Xiaohua putting it like that, the Geography Master understood instantly.

He immediately said with a chuckle:

"Then let me calculate a bit. Just a moment!"

Before long, he had the result:

"This is a greatly auspicious hexagram. It won't affect the feng shui. Go ahead with peace of mind."
