Chapter: 3868
Ye Chen knew in his heart that if Xu Chu Ran really did take on this project, he wouldn't be able to oppose it.
So, he helplessly said, "Miss Zhang, shall we look at the villa first?"
Fei'er nodded, smiling, "Alright, Mr. Ye, please come in."
Upon entering the interior of the villa, Ye Chen discovered that most of the family's furniture was still left here, except for some private items that had completely disappeared.
As Fei'er led Ye Chen inside, she introduced him, saying, "These household appliances and electronics are mostly what the previous owner left behind. However, I plan to send them all directly to the recycling company and then have them clear out everything before redoing the renovation."
In reality, Fei'er didn't care about this villa at all.
She only bought it because she guessed that Ye Chen might be a feng shui master, so she wanted to keep the villa as a convenient excuse to get close to him.
She originally didn't plan to renovate it, nor did she intend to move in. However, after learning that Xiu Ju opened a renovation company, she was inspired to renovate, but not for the purpose of living there. It was just an excuse to get close to Xiu Ju.
Ye Chen listened carefully and said, "Since Miss Zhang is planning to completely renovate everything, it's actually not that important what the internal feng shui is like right now. The overall feng shui of the house is fine, but as for any potential issues with the internal feng shui, we'll need to wait until you've finalized your design plan and then make specific adjustments accordingly."
Ye Chen added, "However, since Miss Zhang hopes that seniors living here can maintain their physical health and ward off diseases, I can offer some directions and advice."
Fei'er quickly asked, "Mr. Ye, please go on."
Ye Chen said seriously, "The best room for seniors to live in should be located in a suite with an extended life position, ideally on the first floor, which is closer to the earth's energy; the room should face east and have windows, just like the concept of 'purple qi coming from the east,' which brings beneficial energy for one's health. Besides, the room must not be too large, as per the principles of feng shui, where a smaller room can absorb energy, whereas a very large room will waste the residents' energy and the decoration should avoid using natural stones."
Fei'er was confused and asked, "Mr. Ye, why do you say we should use fewer stones? Can't we just follow traditional methods?"
Ye Chen explained, "From a feng shui perspective, the material of stone has a similar sound to 'cai', which is associated with wealth, and that's beneficial for feng shui. However, stones are slightly cold and belong to the yin category, which is not suitable for bedrooms as it will affect one's physical health."
As Ye Chen continued speaking, he mentioned an article he had read recently: "According to a report I saw, all natural stones have radioactive properties that can produce a type of radiation called radon gas. This substance has no color or smell, and after being confirmed by the World Health Organization, it was found to have very strong carcinogenic effects and is one of the main causes of lung cancer, second only to smoking. If there are many natural stones in the room, you'll be constantly exposed to this slow-release toxic substance that can cause significant harm to your physical health. Most people are unaware of this, even if they do develop lung cancer."
Let me know if this is correct or if I need to make any adjustments!
As Ye Chen went on, he sighed and said, "So from here we can see that our ancestors were indeed very intelligent. Although they didn't have scientific theories or advanced technology, they could still use their exceptional abilities to understand the universe and its phenomena. They were able to predict the effects of natural stones on the human body hundreds of years ago, and even though it took centuries, scientists later confirmed the existence of radon gas and proved our ancestors' extraordinary judgment."
Feng Ke Xin couldn't help but praise Ye Chen, saying, "I'm not familiar with science and technology, but I've never heard of this before. However, after listening to what you have to say, I must admit that our ancestors were indeed extremely intelligent, which further proves the legitimacy of feng shui."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Miss Shen is still so young. By rights, she shouldn't be concerned about feng shui at all."
Feng Ke Xin nodded seriously and said, "Actually, I've always had a deep respect for feng shui and the Eight Trigrams of the I Ching. Although I don't fully understand it, I really believe in its significance, which may also be related to my upbringing by my grandfather."
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "In recent years, the number of young people who take feng shui seriously has been decreasing rapidly."
As Ye Chen continued speaking, he said to Miss Shen, "Well, that's about all we can see for now. The external feng shui of this house is excellent, so as long as we pay attention to some minor details inside the house, everything will run smoothly."
Feng Ke Xin nodded slightly and asked Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, how do you charge for your services? Should I give you a check or transfer the money directly?"
Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "It's not a big deal at all, Miss Shen. You don't need to be so formal. Besides, my father-in-law's Painting Association has also received some help from you, so let's just consider it as a reciprocal favor!"
Feng Ke Xin was crystal clear that Ye Chen wouldn't care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars he would gain from reading the geomancy. After all, a single elixir pellet could be worth billions, even tens of billions of dollars, let alone if Ye Chen was the actual CEO behind Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals. If that were the case, Nine Heaven's annual net profit could be in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, which would make it impossible for him to care about a few hundred thousand. So Feng Ke Xin quickly guessed why Ye Chen wanted to establish himself as a geomancy expert in front of his family - since it wasn't for money, then there must be another reason. It was probably because he wanted to gain time and space for another identity of his. Therefore, she told Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, I don't know how to repay the huge favor you've done me, but in the future, I hope we can have more opportunities for mutual benefit! If there's anything I can help you with in the future, please don't hesitate to ask." Ye Chen nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "Miss Shen, since there's nothing left here, let's go back then." Feng Ke Xin hastily agreed, "Okay, Mr. Ye." JrNovels.com
