He was lethargic. His Yin and Yang energies were out of balance. There was also a deficiency in his corporeity.
Just by listening, w.a.n.g Yao would be able to pinpoint a few things wrong, but he would not be able to judge more confidently unless he was doing a full check-up.
“Uncle, be careful.”
“Okay,” w.a.n.g Fenglong smiled.
His body was extremely weak now. He was weaker than a child. He had once been a farmer who cultivated a few acres of land in a row in the past. Now, he was so physically weak that, from just walking a few steps, he grew tired and he had to sit down and rest.
That night, w.a.n.g Yao received an invitation from Tian Yuantu. He invited w.a.n.g Yao to attend the test-market ceremony for a new project he developed in town the next day.
“Okay,” w.a.n.g Yao agreed after thinking for a while.
He had not gone out for quite some time.
On the 8th of August of the Gregorian calendar and the 18th day of the sixth month of the Lunar calendar, everything was good.
As usual, w.a.n.g Yao tidied up the herb field and went up the hill to practice his martial arts. Then, he went to the medical center to water the plants in the small courtyard. He only drove to town after all of that was finished.
The project developed by Tian Yuantu was in the middle of a mountain forest. It was to the north, along the fork in town. The road was built according to the structure of the mountain. The cement had hardened and the road was very wide. It was not a problem for two cars to pa.s.s parallel to each other. There were mostly hills on both sides of the road. There were some trees and mountain stones. Looking at it carefully, it was somewhat meaningful. Not far away, a building which looked like a monastery with the words “Lake Xinyue” engraved on it could be seen.
Eh, when did the name change?
w.a.n.g Yao recalled that this was not the name when he came last time.
“Welcome.”
The security guard was very polite.
Along the way, w.a.n.g Yao saw a few cars in front.
He drove the car for quite a distance along the mountain road. A lake could be seen in between the two hills. It looked like a crescent moon. It was aquamarine in color and clear.
This lake, or precisely speaking, this large reservoir, was called Lake Xinyue.
On the edge of the lake, villas were built according to the hill structure.
w.a.n.g Yao found a spot to park his car. After getting out of the car, he realized that there were already a lot of people who were there. Furthermore, judging from the cars parked outside, there were a lot of rich people. There were many common luxury cars, such as Audis, Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, Land Rovers, and Porsches.
There were villas, a club, and a restaurant here. There was even a swimming pool near the lake. These houses were designed very beautifully.
Although Lianshan County was small, there were still a lot of wealthy people.
The test-market ceremony was held in a club. The club was built according to the four-star standard. It integrated accommodation, dining, entertainment, conference, along with many other functions. It was extraordinarily grand, yet elegant in the middle of this hill.
The sale was held in the form of a reception on the second floor.
The organizer, Jia Hui Group, had prepared for this event very well. Most of the guests of the reception were dressed very nicely. On the other hand, w.a.n.g Yao came without thinking about his clothing. He wore a simple pants and a pure cotton short-sleeved t-s.h.i.+rt. He was noticeably different from the rest of the guests.
Wine and refreshments were available, along with a variety of snacks too.
Some of the people who came here already knew each other. They took the opportunity to communicate with each other.
w.a.n.g Yao looked around and found a corner to take a seat out of the way.
“Eh, you actually came.” Holding a gla.s.s of champagne, Wei Hai walked over with a smile.
“Why, do you plan to buy a villa here?” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile. Finally, there was someone he knew here, with whom he could have a chat with.
“Yes. This location is pretty good. It’s situated at the foot of the hill and next to the lake. I think the Feng Shui is quite good as well, so I’m thinking of buying a villa here!” Wei Hai answered with a smile.
“Do you know Feng Shui too?”
“I don’t, but I know someone else who does. When the building was built, Director Tian invited a master. You have to know that things like architecture have a lot of supersitions. It’s situated at the foot of the hill and beside the lake, so it is indeed valuable land with good Feng Shui,” Wei Hai said while sitting beside w.a.n.g Yao.
After a while, the person everyone was waiting to see appeared.
Tian Yuantu was dressed formally.
The reception had officially started.
This was the first time that w.a.n.g Yao had witnessed Tian Yuantu’s ability of giving a speech in public. It was indeed quite excellent.
“Brother Tian is fantastic.”
“Yes, he’s better than me at this,” Wei Hai replied with a smile while sipping his wine.
…
“How is it? Are you interested in any of the houses here?” a well-off, middle-aged man said to a young woman with a smile while cuddling her.
“It’s pretty good.” The woman’s voice was sickeningly sweet.
“We’ll buy one then,” the middle-aged man said. Although the area was remote, the houses built were all detached villas. Besides, the design was terrific. They were all designed by famous teams. It was hard to say how much the villa cost. It was impossible to buy it for less than two million. It might even be more expensive than that. However, the man said it as if it was nothing; like buying a pack of gum. By the looks of it, he must be a rich man.
“You’re so nice,” the woman said coquettishly.
“You’ll have to thank me properly.” The man moved his hand downwards, resting his hand on her plump, peach b.u.t.tocks.
“Gosh, can they not do that in public?” Seeing this scene, Wei Hai was very uncomfortable. When he spoke, his voice was somewhat louder.
The middle-aged man heard it and turned his head around to have a look. His gaze was hostile.
Wow!
After seeing the man’s face clearly, Wei Hai was a little surprised.
He really was not handsome!
His head was already half-bald. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle and was wearing gold-rimmed gla.s.ses. His face was slightly flushed. It was unknown as to whether it was because he drank a small amount of wine, or if it was because of Wei Hai’s words just now.
The woman whom he was cuddling was pretty and had an excellent figure. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were huge and it was pushed out a bit.
“Wow, it’s an old man!” Wei Hai raised the gla.s.s in his hand towards the man.
w.a.n.g Yao laughed. He did not expect that there was actually such a side to Wei Hai’s personality.
“Forget it. Let’s go elsewhere.” The woman held the man by his arm and walked to the other side.
“Hey, what are these women thinking?”
“She’s making a living on her young age. She can earn money fast that way. I understand it,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile. “However, this farmland is very fertile and the cattle is old. If it keeps ploughing, something is going to happen.”
“Huh, what?” In an instant, Wei Hai did not understand what w.a.n.g Yao said.
When people reached middle age, the body functions had begun to deteriorate. Relations between men and women were actually very energy-consuming. It was indeed right that appropriate exercises were good for physical and mental health, but “exercising” excessively would exhaust one’s vitality.
“Are you talking about that man?”
“Yeah,” w.a.n.g Yao responded.
The reception went very smoothly. Many people already had the intention to make a reservation. Seven villas were already pre-booked in a short period of time.
“Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect that there are really a lot of rich people in Lianshan County.”
At noon, Tian Yuantu specially invited w.a.n.g Yao and the others to have lunch together. Professor Lu was sitting at the same table. He was also invited by Tian Yuantu and he happened to be available.
“Did you look around yet?”
“I did. It’s not bad here.”
“Of course. Professor Lu led a team and designed it,” Tian Yuantu replied with a smile.
“Which villa do you have your eyes on? I’ll reserve it for you.”
“Thank you for your kindness. I don’t have any intention on getting one for the time being,” w.a.n.g Yao answered with a smile while waving his hand.
“What about Director Wei?”
“Me? My teahouse is pretty good,” Wei Hai said with a smile.
“Hey, is someone selling a house in your village?” Wei Hai suddenly asked w.a.n.g Yao, who was beside him.
“What?” w.a.n.g Yao was startled.
The villagers all bought houses in the city now. He had never heard of anyone from the city going to the countryside to buy a house, let alone the small mountain village where w.a.n.g Yao was.
“I don’t really know.”
“Look out for me. Let me know if there is.”
Wei Hai’s words made Tian Yuantu pay attention. With their current capabilities, it was too easy for them to buy a house in the countryside, especially when they had a neighbor like w.a.n.g Yao. They realized that unless there were special circ.u.mstances, w.a.n.g Yao would mainly stay in the mountain village.
He and Professor Lu had earned enough money and wanted to find a place with a good environment to stay. They would also have a friend with extraordinary pharmaceutical technology by their side. This seemed to be a good choice!
“Umm, count me in as well,” Professor Lu said.
What?!
w.a.n.g Yao’s brain could not process the situation all of a sudden.
What’s with these people?
When did his humble mountain village become so attractive?
The reception of the pre-sale of the property lasted for a day. In addition to the free wine, the guests could even enjoy a free buffet with their invitations. The dishes were various, and quite delicious.
