After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"...You came to see me not because of this?"

Ye Bai was somewhat bewildered and didn't understand.

"Tell me in detail what exactly is wrong with the feng shui of the headquarters building."

A cold glint flashed in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

The feng shui of the headquarters building was arranged by someone hired by her fifth uncle, Qin Shengtu.

For the sake of power, the Qin family's higher-ups disregarded family ties and secretly plotted to harm her. Although Qin Wanqing was heartbroken, she was able to accept it.

After all, power has always been the greatest poison.

Even fathers and sons killing each other is not uncommon.

But the Qin Group's headquarters building is related to the fate of the entire Qin family!

Someone actually dared to tamper with this; they're absolutely insane!

“You wouldn’t understand if I explained it to you now. Besides, I need to take a closer look.”

Ye Bai shook his head.

He had only glanced at it briefly last time and hadn't paid it any mind.

However, the problem definitely exists.

With his keen eye and expertise in feng shui, he would never be wrong about this.

"Then you'll come with me tomorrow."

Qin Wanqing took a deep breath and did not press the matter further.

Back in his room, Ye Bai took a shower and, after getting into bed, habitually sent a message to that "little fangirl".

People who are new to mobile phone chatting are always extremely fascinated by this novel means of communication.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the "little fangirl" hasn't replied to his message yet today.

Ye Bai waited boredly for a long time, and finally picked up a book, read for a while, and then took a break.

The next day at breakfast, Ye Bai secretly slipped a bundle of money to Shen Lu.

"Young master, what are you doing?"

Shen Lu's big eyes widened as she suddenly remembered a scene from the melodramatic TV series she watched last night.

There was also a son-in-law in that drama who was extremely lecherous.

At first, they acted all high and mighty, but after a few days, their true nature was revealed.

He took a fancy to a maidservant who served the young lady, and tried to bribe her with money and make various threats.

Anyway, by any means necessary, they managed to ruin that little maid.

Could it be that the son-in-law was also infected by that lecherous old man Yang Tianju yesterday and is planning to make a move on him?

Upon realizing this, Shen Lu, like a startled rabbit, instantly jumped a great distance away.

Her face turned so red it was almost dripping with water, and her heart was pounding in her chest.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but she didn't know whether she should give in immediately or resist first if her fiancé really laid his hands on her.

The young lady didn't tell her what to do in this situation!

"...What's wrong with you, girl? This is the money from selling videos yesterday, ten thousand each. Hurry up and put it away, don't let your young lady see it."

Ye Bai was completely baffled and increasingly realized that this woman was abnormal, regardless of her age.

"what……"

Shen Lu opened her mouth wide, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

After breakfast, Ye Bai asked Shen Lu to accompany Old Madam Qin to the park to listen to opera, while he went with Qin Wanqing to the Qin Group headquarters.

Feng shui is no small matter. Since Qin Wanqing also felt there was a problem, he had to find out the truth.

Judging from the previous arrangement of Qin Wanqing's study, the one who wanted to harm this Queen Qin should be a master of feng shui layout.

The Qin Group headquarters might also be the work of the other party.

However, the feng shui of Qin Wanqing's office was not problematic, which was rather strange.

"President Qin, you've arrived..."

As Ye Bai followed Qin Wanqing into the headquarters building, a well-dressed, refined, and handsome young man quickly came to greet them.

With a warm smile and a gentle, refined charm, he was none other than Zhao Chengfeng, the marketing director.

The receptionist at the Qin Group headquarters, as well as the female office workers passing by, all looked at Zhao Chengfeng with infatuation.

Ye Bai, who was standing next to Qin Wanqing, was completely ignored.

Unfortunately, when it comes to looks alone, Ye Bai isn't bad, but he's definitely not as good-looking as a pretty boy like Zhao Chengfeng.

This was only after changing into a high-end outfit; otherwise, if he had continued wearing that old, shabby Zhongshan suit, he would have been completely outclassed.

"Mr. Ye, is that right? Hello, I've heard so much about you..."

After greeting Qin Wanqing, Zhao Chengfeng looked at Ye Bai, smiled, nodded, and extended his hand.

He was elegant and courteous.

"Oh? Then tell me, how did you come to know me?"

Ye Bai smiled and shook hands with Zhao Chengfeng, then asked with some curiosity.

"I……"

Even though Zhao Chengfeng was usually very eloquent and quick-witted, he was a little dumbfounded at this moment and didn't know how to respond.

That was just a polite remark, okay? What kind of nonsense is it to ask someone to praise you to your face?

Most importantly, don't you have any self-awareness about your own identity?

He's just an adopted son of the Ye family. What could he possibly have that would make people admire him so much?

"...Looks like you can't say it. I really thought I had a great reputation!"

"Ah, it seems Master was right. The more respectable someone looks, the more hypocritical they are."

Ye Bai shook his head, looking disappointed.

Zhao Chengfeng's face instantly turned ashen, while Qin Wanqing barely managed to suppress her laughter.

It has to be said that it's quite interesting to see others being rendered speechless by Ye Bai's unconventional tactics.

Of course, it would be unpleasant to be the one being criticized.

"Alright, Mr. Zhao, you can go ahead and get busy. Ye Bai and I will just wander around here."

Qin Wanqing gave Zhao Chengfeng instructions in a somewhat cold tone.

Ever since Zhao Chengfeng told her about Ye Bai's rumors that day, her impression of him has plummeted.

Regardless of whether those rumors are true or false, Qin Wanqing dislikes people who gossip behind others' backs the most.

Especially since it was a man who did this.

"……Yes."

Zhao Chengfeng took a deep breath, gave Ye Bai a long look, and turned to leave.

"This kid has a wicked heart, you'd better be careful of him."

Ye Bai commented again.

"...I don't think you're any different from him. No, at least he's better looking than you."

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and snorted irritably.

What's wrong with men this generation? Do they all like to talk badly about others behind their backs?

"I've long since transcended the vulgar level of superficial appearance."

Ye Bai pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back, and paced around with the air of a wise and enlightened master.

"...What a pity, you should have a white beard, wear a Tang suit, and hold a string of beads in your hand."

Looking at Ye Bai's bizarre appearance, Qin Wanqing felt a burning sensation in her eyes and suddenly realized that those fake masters actually had some self-cultivation.

At least in terms of image, they did a decent job.

"Has this feng shui layout been changed in the past?"

Ye Bai ignored Qin Wanqing's sarcasm, and after carefully examining the document, asked in a deep voice.

Qin Wanqing thought about it carefully and was about to answer when a cold snort suddenly came from not far away.

"What? Do you think the affairs of my Qin Group need to be interfered with by an adopted son of the Ye family?"
