Shen Qiqi leaned in Tan Moting's arms, but she still felt uneasy.

She almost dedicates herself to the standard of conduct of "do no evil and do good deeds", which is probably more respectful than Mrs. Wang, a person who eats fast and chants Buddha's name.

But she asked herself, can I really distinguish between good and evil?

But Shen Qiqi also knew that at least she did not condone evil forces, such as He Fangyao, who showed her the way and took advantage of her.

To be honest, she thought He Fangyao was desperately in love with Yu Wanyang, but she was already very pitiful about this.

She actually wanted to mind her own business to stop He Fangyao from jumping into the fire pit, but she turned out to be wary of her. She could only say that poor people must be hateful.

Everyone should clean up the snow in front of their own door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles. The most important thing for her now is to complete the project and keep the company alive.

Tan Moting felt that Shen Qiqi was in a daze, so he stopped talking and just held him gently.

Early the next morning, Shen Qiqi and Tan Moting took the same flight to Xi'an, and they each brought their assistants.

After getting off the plane, the two of them stayed in the same hotel, and Tan Moting insisted on sharing a room.

Xi'an is an ancient city and has been the capital of many dynasties. Xi'an is the first stop for many foreigners who come here because of its reputation.

The hotel where Shen Qiqi stayed was also a place where foreign tourists often stayed. Sometimes an entire foreign tour group came to stay.

After more than ten years of development, Xi'an already has the atmosphere of a modern city, but the rich cultural atmosphere of history can still be felt.

On the first day without work, Shen Qiqi suggested to go shopping. Tan Moting also put down his work and decided to accompany her.

In a strange city, the two get along more naturally, just like an ordinary couple. They feel more at ease walking on the road. No one will recognize them as Tan Moting or Shen Qiqi. Oncoming passers-by will only think that they are this pair. The couple looks so good.

It was still cold, so Shen Qiqi wore a long black down jacket when going out, while Tan Moting wore a windbreaker she made by herself.

The first lunar month has not yet come out, and everyone who has a job has gone to work. Those who don’t have to work, especially the elderly, are responsible for completing the New Year’s activities. This kind of old city also has a tradition that the new year is truly celebrated after the first lunar month.

Shen Qiqi was held by Tan Moting and walked down the street. She looked at the window decorations of the shops along the street curiously, "I heard that these window decorations have been selected as intangible cultural heritage. The cut is so beautiful. Look at the chickens on the New Year pictures so lifelike."

"You are observing very carefully. Xi'an is a famous historical and cultural city with more than just delicious food and fun. If you are interested, I will take you to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Center tomorrow. In addition to New Year paintings, there are also shadow puppets. It seems that you I just like this cutting and cutting technique.”

Tan Moting is an indifferent person, but he will never let his words fall to the ground in front of Shen Qiqi. No matter what Shen Qiqi says, he can catch it.

"You know New Year pictures, I didn't notice." Shen Qiqi pointed excitedly at Tan Moting to the "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" window grilles on the hotel window grilles.

Tan Moting smiled helplessly. In fact, this kind of window grilles should be machine-printed rather than hand-cut.

But he didn't want to expose Shen Qiqi's excitement. She was as happy as a child now.

Passing by a mutton steamed bun shop, a hot pot restaurant, a cross-bridge rice noodle shop, and other shops, and walking two more streets, the two came to the famous Xiangzi Gate, which was once a bustling commercial street in history.

The Xiangzi Temple inside is the former residence of Han Xiangzi, one of the Eight Immortals. Now Xiangzi Temple is one of the famous Taoist cultural memorial sites.

Since the old man is here, he naturally wants to visit Xiangzi Temple.

Shen Qiqi held Tan Moting's hand and walked to Xiangzi Temple. There were also many tourists going to Xiangzi Temple on the street. They followed the crowd to Xiangzi Temple.

Since it is the former residence of Han Xiangzi, it means that the Xiangzi Temple is not big. The yellow word "Dao" at the entrance directly points to people's hearts.

Shen Qiqi smiled and asked: "In ancient times, people were keen on seeking immortality and asked, what is this Tao?"

Tan Moting smiled and said nothing. He is a businessman and knows that the way of a businessman is integrity, the way of a friend is trust, and the way of a husband and wife is loyalty.

Every relationship in this world has its own way, so he couldn't explain what the "way" is.

Shen Qiqi just asked casually, and then said with a smile: "I have said that Tao can be taught, but it is very Tao. Although I don't know what Tao is, I know that Tao is the door of mystery."

Shen Qiqi finished this very convoluted sentence in one breath. She really didn't know what Tao was. If she knew, how could she not understand why she came to this world? If she knew it, why didn't she know her fate?

The two of them walked around the Xiangzi Temple. It was really quiet here, the tranquility emanating from the noise.

After admiring the well and Bagua Stone, Shen Qiqi and Tan Moting walked under the two locust trees in the courtyard.

Shen Qiqi looked up at the locust tree. The trunk was thick and dry. It stood in front of Lingguan Hall. There was another locust tree growing opposite it on the other side.

"I heard that this Sophora japonica tree blooms twice a year." Shen Qiqi lowered his head and stared at the four words carved on the bottom of the trunk of the Sophora japonica tree, "Lingmiao Sophora japonica".

Tan Moting nodded. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, nor did he believe in visions coming from the sky. He gently squeezed the back of Shen Qiqi's hand and said, "It may be due to climate change that the locust trees are blooming."

Shen Qiqi said "Oh", this is indeed the truth. Even if there are gods and Buddhas all over the sky, they can't interfere in the cause and effect of the human world.

"Destiny is in your own hands. It's good to have auspiciousness, but it's also good not to have auspiciousness. Let's go next door and have a look." Shen Qiqi said.

They visited most places in the temple, and finally came to the Xiangzu Hall, which was dedicated to Han Xiangzi and where they could draw lots.

Shen Qiqi stood on the periphery of the crowd and watched many young people actively burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

She praised: "It's such a promising generation. Everyone cares so much about their future, haha."

"The future is in their own hands. It's just that most people don't believe it because of fear. They can only rely on the outside world for psychological comfort."

Tan Moting's tone was very calm, but he concealed his inner emotions. If the Xiangzu Palace could extend Shen Qiqi's life, he would definitely worship it for the rest of his life.

The truest thoughts deep in a person's heart, as long as he doesn't reveal them, others won't be able to guess them. This is why people are separated from each other. Tan Moting was glad that Shen Qiqi didn't know his thoughts.

Shen Qiqi shook off Tan Moting's hand and went to buy incense, "I also want to pay my respects to Han Xiangzi and draw a lot."

She stared at Tan Moting seriously with big bright eyes. Just one look, just a moment, made Tan Moting feel eternity.

Sure enough, she is the woman he likes. She can pray to God and worship Buddha without distracting thoughts, and she can take it seriously when she goes deep into the world of mortals.

I just hope God has eyes and doesn't let the beauty die. In this ancient venue, Tan Moting also became very emotional.

He then realized that all he wanted in life was to be with the people in front of him all the time. He really didn't care about other things, but when he thought about the so-called fate, he couldn't help but become nervous and fearful.

Tan Moting took Shen Qiqi's hand again and pushed her into the queue, "You wait here, I'll buy incense."

How did Shen Qiqi know that Tan Moting, who didn't believe in the vision just now, now took the initiative to act as an errand boy? She obediently lined up behind the crowd.

Tan Moting walked out of the temple, turning back every three steps, and then quickened his pace after turning the corner.

In less than five minutes, Tan Moting came over holding a large bundle of incense. He walked to Shen Qiqi, replaced her in the queue, and handed the incense in his hand to her: "This is a red smokeless incense, go ahead Burn it, light it and put it in the copper tripod in the courtyard."

At this time, a young man in line behind Shen Qiqi couldn't stand it anymore and said sourly: "She is not a three-year-old child. How can you explain so much in such a long way?"

In this young man's opinion, Tan Moting is far from worthy of Shen Qiqi. Shen Qiqi is white, rich and beautiful, while Tan Moting is a handsome boy with a pretty face and a soft rice.

Although he couldn't date a girlfriend as beautiful as Shen Qiqi, the young man was very unconvinced that a "boy like Tan Moting" got such a beautiful girl like Shen Qiqi.

The main blame is that Tan Moting was too gentle to Shen Qiqi just now, and was regarded as a soft rice by the young man.

When Shen Qiqi heard this, he panicked. Isn't this young man dancing in a minefield? And so rude.

She was worried about the negative impact of Tan Moting getting angry and attacking, mainly because Tan Moting's skills could beat him to death.

Shen Qiqi immediately said to the young man: "My husband has repeatedly told me that it is none of your business!"

Her tone was not harsh at all, but rather calm, making people unable to refuse or resist.

Tan Moting was coaxed by Shen Qiqi's three words "my husband". Shen Qiqi blurted out these three words, which shows that she has long recognized their marriage in her heart.

The young man stopped talking, Tan Moting stood in front of him, and Shen Qiqi went to burn incense as instructed.

She stood in front of the incense burner and made a wish devoutly, not daring to ask for more.

All I want is four words: live well.

All greed in the world stems from fear.

Shen Qiqi is also greedy, but she doesn't dare to ask for more. Living well is her biggest prayer. How many people in this world are alive but cannot have peace of mind, and how many people can have peace of mind but will not live long.

She also promised that as long as she lives well, she will live her life in vain and do some good things.

With a sincere attitude, Shen Qiqi made a wish devoutly: "I ask Ancestor Xiang to bless me with health and longevity..." She did not dare to ask for more.

There are many young people in Xiangzi Temple today. Everyone is seeking marriage, wealth, and safety and longevity. I'm afraid Shen Qiqi is the only one.

As for Shen Qiqi, she adheres to the principle of "not talking about strange powers and confusing gods", but now her attitude is that she would rather believe that they are there than not.

Only self-crossing can be a true crossing, but what if a god is bored and pulls her out?

After burning the incense, it was Shen Qiqi's turn to draw lots. She shook the tube with great concentration, and finally a bamboo stick fell out.

She picked it up carefully, still a little nervous. She looked at it in her hand and signed it: Xiangzi Encountered Treasure.

Shen Qiqi jumped up happily. Her joy infected the people around her. An aunt said, "Girl, you are so good-looking and have such a handsome husband. You have won everyone's lottery."

When Shen Qiqi heard this, she smiled faintly. This aunt was right. Happiness comes from comparison, but happiness derived from comparison is also illusory.

Everyone has their own troubles, which is the fairness of life. Shen Qiqi also has her troubles, and she is helpless.

Tan Moting took Shen Qiqi's hand and took her to understand the sign. Since it was a sign, it was better to do it first.

The interpreter was a woman in her thirties. She smiled when she saw handsome men and beautiful women coming.

Shen Qiqi handed over the winning ticket. The man took a look at it and exclaimed: "Sign up, this is the first one this afternoon."

[Don’t worry about current medical complaints,

On-the-ground resources are readily available.

It happened that the ape was now unchained,

I have to go back to the Fairy Cave and swim around. ] The person who interpreted the sign read out the hanging message, and then smiled and said: "This hexagram is like a monkey unchained. Everything is difficult in the beginning and easy in the future."

This sentence was said in a formal way, but Shen Qiqi still understood it, which meant that she could free herself from the constraints, whether it was spiritual or real.

Shen Qiqi smiled and said: "Thank you, then I will accept your good advice. I do have something on my mind, but I have to wait."

In addition to the happy explanation, the elder sister who solved the problem also said: "The worries of rich people are the most difficult to solve. Don't think too much about it. If you really encounter problems, just wait for the opportunity. Good luck will always come. Will look after you, just like Han Xiangzi, who also became an immortal in the end, right?"

"Haha," Shen Qiqi rarely laughed like this, "I have never thought about becoming an immortal. As long as I am a good person, I will be satisfied."

"Looking at your face, you are lucky, and looking at your eyes, you are also kind-hearted. As the saying goes, God will help those who help themselves. But I think your eyes are a bit weak. You don't usually like to argue with others, and you don't like to confront others, right?"

Shen Qiqi nodded, she really guessed it right.

Just listen to the eldest sister say: "You are wrong. Sometimes tolerating people who should not be tolerated is to help the evildoer. You might as well show off your thunderbolt method to deal with him."

"Don't rush to refute. Sometimes murder and arson are not necessarily bad things. Good people and bad people all depend on their motives." The eldest sister didn't let Shen Qiqi speak. After she finished speaking, she looked at Tan Moting for approval.

Tan Moting's eyes were reserved, his aura was calm, and he didn't feel like an ordinary person.

Tan Moting agreed with her words, "You're right. Do things based on your intentions. Just like Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin", he punched Guanxi to punish bullies and save people from misery. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you do bad things with good intentions, But first, you shouldn’t be bullied by others.”

Shen Qiqi nodded.

Although Tan Moting did not let her notice the displeasure in his tone, Tan Moting was either unhappy or distressed.

Shen Qiqi is weak, as if anyone can bully her, Mrs. Tan.

He did not interfere, but chose to respect her. However, since she took over the Shen Group, her aura has gradually changed. Many times, she is calm and calm, talking about matters as they are, and can make others half angry to death.

Tan Moting is happy to see the success.

On the way back to the hotel, Shen Qiqi was still thinking about the signature.

She rarely draws lots, and even when she does draw lots, she is never superstitious. However, in the end, this lot gave her the feeling of "having been in a cage for a long time and returning to nature." Does this mean that she will be able to be free in the future?

Shen Qiqi muttered to himself several times, as if he wanted to remember the last two signature lines.

Tan Moting broke out on his own. He doesn't believe in fate. Even if he does, he only believes that fate is in his own hands.

He has met a lot of all kinds of people, and even if they are particularly powerful people, he can basically guess what they are thinking just by looking at them. Many people are hypocritical and calculating in their hearts, but they are full of flattering words and act like a clown in front of others without even realizing it.

But more people are serious, sincere and conscientious, but dare not ask for anything. Shen Qiqi falls into the latter category.

It's rare for a person like her to lose her arrogance and calm down to do things. It's just that after she became stronger, she would occasionally exude fear. Tan Moting was already content with that. At least Shen Qiqi never showed any typical phobia symptoms.

Tan Moting racked his brains and came up with an allusion to comfort her.

"I just mentioned Lu Zhishen at the Xiangzi Temple. Do you know the poem written by the flower monk Lu Zhishen when he passed away?" Tan Moting asked Shen Qiqi with a smile.

And there was a faint expectation and distress in his eyes, hidden behind the deep smile.

Shen Qiqi said: "I've heard of it, but I don't remember it." Among the four famous works, Shen Qiqi loves "A Dream of Red Mansions" the most, and his favorite character is Sun Wukong. Every character in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is She lamented that "Water Margin" was the only movie she didn't want to watch because the lives of the people in it were too miserable.

"Stop being so secretive and tell me quickly!" Shen Qiqi said, she knew that Tan Moting knew.

Tan Moting smiled. Lu Zhishen was the only one among the Liangshan heroes to die a good death, probably because as a monk, he had pure intentions and did not seek personal gain, but only for others.

"I have never cultivated good deeds in my life. I only love killing people and setting fires. Suddenly I opened the golden shackles and broke the jade lock here. Hey! The tide came from the Qiantang River. Today you know that I am me." Tan Moting said each sentence, and added the tone, It has the flavor of poetry recitation.

The tide of the Qiantang River is as powerful as an army of thousands, but an army of thousands cannot resist the tide.

In fact, the meaning of this stanza is very simple: No matter how rough the waves are, or whether the waves are calm, it is actually nothing more than water. When people reach enlightenment, they should let go, fight when they should fight, and listen to the tide when they should listen to it——

During the most difficult and dangerous years of his life, what Tan Moting loved to read most was this stanza composed by Lu Zhishen before his death.

At that time, he was not fighting for the position of heir, but for living. If he didn't fight, others would not let him live.

It just so happened that the "others" here were all named Tan, including his father, his uncle, his aunt, his sister-in-law... and their descendants.

When they raised their knives at Tan Moting, he had to resist.

Of course, everything has passed, and Tan Moting can now regard the shopping mall fight as a trend in Qiantang.

Tan Moting is not yet thirty years old. He has not thought about death. He has thought about it before. When he is old, he can add the sentence "die when it is time to die..." under this comment.

It wasn't until he met Shen Qiqi that he realized that the idea of ​​"dying until it's time to die" was too childish. At that time, he didn't have a sweetheart, so it was understandable to lose him. Now that he has one, he realizes how painful it is to lose him. Teach life and death to make promises!

Shen Qiqi thought for a while and said, "I understand, just do whatever you want, live your life happily, and then be liberated."

When Tan Moting looked at Shen Qiqi again, he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart. He used to look at her and thought she was pretty, but now that he saw her, in addition to his heartbeat, he was also moved by seeing a close friend.

"This is the truth. This society has social rules, and individuals also have personal rules. Live by your own rules and respect them. Don't think too much about other things." Tan Moting is teaching the success mentality.

As long as you are self-centered without being humble or arrogant, the world will revolve around you, just like you are the center of the solar system.

However, Tan Moting's theory seems overbearing to Shen Qiqi. Whether it is the rules of society or the rules of others, Shen Qiqi neither dares nor bothers to challenge them.

She believes that the only thing a person can change is himself. As for Tan Moting's arrogant ideas, she has not thought about it yet.

"Tan Moting, what you said makes sense, but how can I do whatever I want in life? If I do something out of line, other people's spit will drown me, let alone changing other people's rules. Also, you are just like that Don't you care about other people's opinions?" Shen Qiqi asked humbly.

Tan Moting smiled, "Look, this is your limitation. You see, there were so many people who called me cruel and ruthless. Do I care? No! I don't care. What can they do to me?"

Ever since Tan Moting discovered that when he provoked many authorities, others could not do anything to him, he saw through the fear in his heart and also saw the fear in others.

So as long as he expresses his needs bravely and without fear, he will win over most people.

"Don't worry, because those people can't do anything to you. When you are truly brave, they will be afraid of your strength. This is the saying that if you stand against a wall, you will be strong without desire." Tan Moting said.

While talking, the two people slowly walked back to the hotel.

"Tan Moting, I found that you really have a set of crooked theories, but I have to say, it sounds quite interesting. Then I will communicate with the construction company tomorrow and ask them to complete all construction periods within two months. Haha, I don't know if it is possible." Shen Qiqi said.

These projects in Xi'an were supposed to be completed last year, but were delayed for two months due to other reasons.

The builder thinks it's okay if he delays for two months, but the house buyer feels extremely anxious.

However, all the properties under the Shen Group have been completed, and most of the unfinished projects still need to be decorated with walls.

"You can give it a try. I can accompany you there tomorrow." Tan Moting still doesn't understand. Shen Qiqi just has stage fright. She's afraid that she won't be able to show the momentum to enforce orders and prohibitions.

"You position yourself correctly. You are the boss, the big boss. You have psychological advantages. They may not love you, but once they love the money you pay," Tan Moting said.

Ha, this coincides with Shen Qiqi.

Shen Qiqi suddenly understood. Tan Moting's exchange broke her fear. She should have the courage to stand in front of anyone and communicate with everyone on an equal footing.

"Thank you very much, Tan Moting, for wasting a few hours with me."

Tan Moting laughed and said nothing after hearing this. The two went back to the room to change clothes, and then went downstairs to eat. The assistants were also there during the meal. Tan Moting's thoughts have been on Shen Qiqi.

Shen Qiqi also discovered that she needed to go to the construction company tomorrow, while Tan Moting asked the head of the branch company to meet him at the hotel.

They were both CEOs, but their ways of doing things were so different. Shen Qiqi clearly felt that Tan Moting's approach was better. At least he had a psychological advantage.

So, she still needs more experience.

After eating, the two returned to the room. After each of them handled some official duties, Tan Moting came over to bother Shen Qiqi.

"I've proposed a business banquet to accompany you, why don't we go to bed early tonight."

Shen Qiqi glanced at the lower right corner of the computer, "But it's only half past eight."

"Why don't you go to bed early? Besides, I'm exhausted today. It's rare to be in this five-star hotel. It's really a good place to sleep." Tan Moting said. His tone was neither humble nor overbearing, leaving no one suspicious. He just wanted to have a good sleep. .
