Chapter 3, True Love

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

While in the car, listening to Jin Xin's incessant chatter, Shen Yue kept an eye on himself in the rearview mirror—his reflection had not disappeared, so what happened last night

It is not an illusion; he indeed did not see his own reflection in the mirror

"What are you filming?" Jin Xin finally let go of his grip, pointing at the man and shouting, "I can't stand people like you who have to film everything and upload it online. You are infringing on my right to portrait, do you believe I will smash your phone?"

What are we showing?" Jin Xin said, confused, as he waved his fist and turned his head to take a look, suddenly stunned, "True love of the prince? Shen Yue, why are you standing here in a daze?

Seeing Shen Yue still gazing at the golden building ahead, Jin Xin carefully found a parking space and parked the car, finally saying: "You are also aware of the saying 'Royal grandeur, all ghosts retreat'?"

With a sense of comfort, Jin Xin said again: "This is what it means that no gold is without impurities and no person is perfect. What's wrong? Don't always frown as if you're at a funeral; we are here to discuss business, not to hold a memorial service. Can you please smile for once?"

Shen Yue said while walking, "It seems that you indeed attach great importance to this job interview"

He had anticipated the occurrence of this scene, yet at the very moment it transpired, he could not help but be profoundly shocked

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed Shen Yue suddenly stop in his tracks, and he couldn't help but move closer.

Before the words had left their lips, a voice emerged beside the two, "Would you like to take a look inside the store? With the Qixi Festival approaching, we are currently offering significant discounts, including a 50% off on wedding photography."

As he watched the man leave with the indifference of a wandering ghost, Jin Xin helplessly remarked: "Look at him, holding his phone with the same reverence as an ancient person holding an ancestral tablet, completely absorbed. It doesn't matter if he is dead, but he is dragging down those of us who wish to live."

What is the purpose of going up from underground? The underground parking lot has such heavy negative energy, it is very harmful to one's health

Seeing Shen Yue walking towards the Giant Building, Jin Xin called out: "No rush, you still need to change your clothes. Look at you, you're dressed too casually. Let's first go to a nearby brand store to buy you a designer outfit, so those narrow-minded people won't look down on you..."

Seeing Shen Yue's somewhat helpless expression, Jin Xin finally came to his senses and took out the prepared bidding materials from the car

Shen Yue was too lazy to nod, but understood that the "place for hitting live targets" mentioned by Jin Xin referred to the execution ground

"Why not just take the elevator up from the underground parking lot?" Shen Yue interrupted Jin Xin's lengthy discourse.

Sighing, Jin Xin remarked: "But fate is truly unpredictable. I never expected that someone would hire a very famous feng shui architect. That architect designed a feng shui layout that exudes 'royal grandeur, repelling all evil spirits.' It is said that this building, along with the surrounding commercial district, secretly corresponds to the arrangement of the celestial Purple Micro Star constellation, just like ancient palaces were constructed. This layout symbolizes the unity of heaven and humanity, capable of attracting the pure yang energy from the heavens. By having this building constructed in such a manner, Li Juren indicated that this is a land blessed by heaven, naturally capable of suppressing the gathering of unclean entities infused with negative energy. As a result, due to this uniquely designed golden building, Li Juren not only did not suffer financial ruin but has instead become truly wealthy, akin to an emperor."

Jin Xin immediately tidied his shiny hair, resting his elbows on the car body, his eyes blazing like flames as he stared at the two beauties, bluntly asking: "Ladies, care to join me?"

Not far from where Shen Yue passed, there was a mirror reflecting Shen Yue's somewhat unpleasant complexion

Shen Yue and Jin Xin turned their heads to look, and both were taken aback by the sight before them

Moreover, the car you rented at a high price should be flaunted in broad daylight; otherwise, it would be akin to walking in splendid clothes at night, failing to showcase your success

Jin Xin looked over at Shen Yue and took the initiative to say: "It must be that you look like a law enforcement officer fishing, not that I lack charm"

Suddenly hearing someone chuckle, Jin Xin turned his head to look over and saw some passersby glancing in his direction. A couple nearby was also pointing and whispering, and the man even took out his phone to take a picture in this direction

The girl's gaze shifted back and forth between the two astonished individuals, ultimately resting on Jin Xin. "Life passes in the blink of an eye. Since it is true love, even if one cannot promise true love for this lifetime, leaving behind the most beautiful moments of true love is still good. Sir, would you not agree?"

The expressions of the two women changed dramatically, and one of them cursed, "Crazy person," as she hurriedly pulled her somewhat hesitant companion away.

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "Data"

Jin Xinyi slammed on the brakes to avoid a man who was looking down at his phone, honking the horn in dissatisfaction

The young girl is dressed simply, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt paired with denim long pants. Her bright eyes and delicate, fair face, along with a necklace of small jade stones around her neck, complement her curvaceous figure, exuding a vibrant youthfulness

"Could you see me in the mirror just now?" Shen Yue asked, rubbing his eyes as he noticed his own reflection reappearing in the mirror

It is because there is a novice present, which seemingly lowers the overall experience level of the team, but in reality, it also reduces the opponent's vigilance against us, making it more advantageous for us to achieve unexpected victories. That is why you want to find a newcomer to be the female secretary

"What are you doing?" Shen Yue asked casually

Jin Xin placed his hand on Shen Yue's shoulder, and they stood side by side in front of the mirror for a while. Finally, he said: "I see it now, what's the matter? You are still as graceful and charming as ever, it's just a bit of a pity that you are slightly shorter than me."

Shen Yue nodded slightly

"You should not be in security; you should become a feng shui master," Shen Yue replied.

"This is not the kind of place where a mirror would be placed by the roadside," Shen Yue said lightly, looking at the astonished Jin Xin. "Don't look like you've seen a ghost. We are here to discuss business, not to hold a memorial service. Let's have a good laugh."

What happened? Did you encounter a ghost?" Jin Xin patted Shen Yue's shoulder and noticed that Shen Yue looked somewhat serious, which made him become serious as well. "It's just past 9 o'clock now. According to the theory of Yin and Yang, this is precisely the time when Yang energy is surging. Ghosts shouldn't appear at this time, right?"

"My materials and documents have not been collected yet," Jin Xin subsequently explained, "Do not blame me for being inconsiderate; the time is too tight. Last night, I was preoccupied with renting a car and preparing the materials, and I did not have enough personnel ready. I actually wanted to find another woman to make up the numbers."

A fragrant aroma wafted through the air as two women, elegantly adorned with cosmetics, gracefully passed by the car. Upon seeing the robust and sturdy Jin Xin stepping out of the Mercedes-Benz, they couldn't help but cast a glance.

Jin Xin shook his head and said, "As people of such status, we must enter through the front door in a dignified and proper manner"

Jin Xin laughed and said, "Although I do not believe in superstitions, there are too many people in this world who do! Just look at the enterprises in this city; how many do not worship Guan Gong? Those that do not openly display it are often the most superstitious behind the scenes! Which store opens without a ribbon-cutting ceremony to seek good fortune and invite the God of Wealth? Is it not superstitious to post couplets for good luck? Is it not superstitious to set off firecrackers to ward off evil? Nowadays, the security industry has, in some ways, become closely related to the former feng shui industry... Is it not superstitious to post couplets for good luck? Is it not superstitious to set off firecrackers to ward off evil? Nowadays, the security industry has, in some ways, become closely related to the former feng shui industry..."

Jin Xin could not help but say: "So you know that this place used to be a live target shooting range?"

With confusion, he saw the mirror not far away, and instinctively took another glance, only to find himself disappearing in the mirror once again, causing a sudden shock in his heart

"As people of such status, isn't it beneath us to submit the documents ourselves? We should at least find a decorative secretary. Sometimes, appearances do matter," Jin Xin argued.

Although her face is not as pale as Shen Yue's, her eyes are not as large as Shen Yue's, and her nose is not as straight as Shen Yue's, being half a head taller than Shen Yue has always been a source of pride for Jin Xin

He finally understood why passersby paid so much attention to them; it turned out that in front of them was a wedding dress studio called "Wangjue True Love," and the two big men were striking poses in front of a mirror in a manner reminiscent of a Qiong Yao drama, making it hard for others not to misunderstand.

"Wasn't your information given to you?" Jin Xin asked in confusion

While speaking, Jin Xin turned Shen Yue's shoulder and earnestly persuaded him

"Sure. So, has your DNA mutated? Which nerve has gone awry? Are you experiencing hallucinations due to excessive stress? Is this scientific enough?" Jin Xin immediately changed his statement.

Shen Yue directly pointed out the crux of the issue, and after receiving a piece of paper handed over by Jin Xin, he first got out of the car

The man looked at Jin Xin with a hint of intimidation. Finally, as he put down his phone and left with his partner, he couldn't help but mutter, "In broad daylight, you dare to show off, yet you don't dare to let people take pictures?"

Jin Xin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and with a punch, he said, "You little rascal, always looking for a chance to embarrass me."

Shen Yue frowned and said, "After all, we are nominally a high-tech company. Can you refrain from mentioning ghosts all the time?"

Jin Xin spoke incessantly: "Decades ago, many people died here, and many strange occurrences often took place, which made it so that no one dared to live here. When Li Ju, the head of Giant Industry, bought land and built buildings here, many people said he would be disturbed by the restless spirits and might end up losing his family and fortune."

The somewhat glaring autumn sun fell upon the girl, becoming a bit softer.

Under the sunlight, a young girl is smiling brightly as she looks at the two people.
