Paul nodded gratefully and blurted, "Charlie, thank you so much! I'll get someone to do it right away!”
Charlie plastered a smile on his face. "Hold up, I haven't finished."
Paul said respectfully, "Oh, please proceed.”
"While applying the films to the windows, you must place a golden Pixiu on each side of the wall.
Remember, it must be a pure gold Pixiu in order for it t o play the best role in attracting fortune. Moreover, the Pixiu is known for eating gold, silver, and jewels but cannot expel it, which makes it the perfect symbol of the acquisition and preservation of wealth. By doing s o, it forms the perfect layout of retaining the wealth when the money comes in and your business will subsequently flourish and prosper."
Paul clasped his fist at Charlie with a grateful look and said, "Wow, you are indeed very talented and gifted! From now on, I'll call you Master Wade like everyone else!"
Charlie laughed and waved his hand, "Oh, please don't! If you call me that in front of my father-in-law or your mother, it will be kind of awkward and embarrassing."
Paul blurted, "Never mind then, I shall call you Charlie in front of them as usual, but I'll change the address to Master Wade when they're not around!"
Then, Paul immediately took out his checkbook again, wrote on it, tore it off, and handed it to Charlie again." Here, this is the additional fee for your service, please accept it."
Charlie glimpsed at the cheque before receiving it and said when he saw the figure of four million, "Oh, you are too generous, but one million is already a lot. I'll keep the one million fee but please take this back."
Paul uttered firmly, “No, I can't do that! If it weren't for you, it would have ended up as a wild goose chase for me in Aurous Hill."
Charlie waved his hand. "These are just some theories in Feng Shui. Even if I don't point it out to you, you can still make a fortune because your law firm has been in business for so many years and has earned an honorable reputation along the way."
Paul's firm tone sounded. "Charlie, to tell you the truth, when my father first operated the law firm, he took a few cases in the beginning and lost all of them. The reasons for losing the cases were odd and peculiar. M y mom used to say that he was in such bad luck that h e could drown even in an ankle-deep puddle."
"Later, my mom invited a Feng Shui master from Chinatown to look at the Feng Shui layout in my father's law firm. At first, my father rejected this kind of oriental feudal superstition, but when the master figured out my father's misfortune after a simple glance at his office, he realized that the mystic study o f Feng Shui was truly extraordinary and magnificent!"
"Then, the master started altering the layout of my father's law firm and re-established the arrangements for him. Since then, his business started to prosper to today’s scale.”
Paul huffed a sigh and continued, "If it weren't for the Feng Shui master, my father's business might have failed at the beginning, and there won't be the current Smith Group Corporate Law. This is why I am a true believer in Feng Shui." 6
Charlie was surprised to learn about all this. He did not know that Paul’s family business was able to be sustained due to Feng Shui. 4
This is how magical and extraordinary Feng Shui is. You could get everything in order except for specific opportunities, but it would just never come as expected. Hence, you are very unlikely to succeed no matter how much or how hard you prepare yourself.
In a unique and subtle way, Feng Shui plays the role of bringing the opportunity to knock at your door!
