Lu Fan returned to the large apartment that Yu Tinglan had arranged for him, but he still felt suffocated.

Yu Tinglan arrived quickly.

"What happened? I heard you had a falling out with Ding Xingyou? And you left the crew?" Yu Tinglan asked as soon as she entered the room.

Lu Fan sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples: "Yeah, I can't keep filming."

"Why? Everything was fine before?"

Lu Fan rubbed his temples: "I don't know either, maybe it's because I didn't know her well before!"

Seeing Lu Fan's condition, Yu Tinglan gently patted Lu Fan's shoulder and comforted him, "Just take a rest. Tomorrow I'll take you to see some good studio locations. There are a few nice places."

……

The next morning, Yu Tinglan drove Lu Fan to see the location of the studio she had chosen, which was in an office building.

The two had just parked their car and walked to the front of the building when Lu Fan paused. He looked up at the exterior of the building and then at the surrounding environment.

"What's wrong?" Yu Tinglan asked.

"This building... has some feng shui issues," Lu Fan said.

"Oh? What's the problem?" a voice suddenly came from the side.

The two turned their heads and saw an old man dressed in simple gray overalls, holding a broom and dustpan, standing not far away sweeping up fallen leaves.

The old man looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair and an ordinary face, but his eyes were quite bright.

Lu Fan glanced at the old man and felt that this man's demeanor was not that of an ordinary cleaner. But he didn't think much of it and pointed to the building: "The orientation of this building is good, but there are a few problems."

He took a few steps forward, pointed to the west side of the building, and said to Yu Tinglan, "Look here, the tall building right next to this one on the west side is almost twice as tall as this one, and its ridge is right in front of the waist of this building. This is called 'White Tiger Raising its Head Sha,' which brings gossip, discord within the team, and internal disputes."

He then pointed to the main entrance of the building: "The main entrance is straight, but the path in front of it is shaped like a reverse bow. Although the curve is gentle, it faces the main entrance directly. This is a 'reverse bow evil,' which indicates unstable wealth, with money coming and going, and an inability to retain wealth or people."

Finally, he looked up at the rooftop: "The decorative metal structure in the southeast corner of the rooftop has a sharp shape, like an upside-down knife. In feng shui, this is called 'Hanging Knife Sha,' which can easily attract accidental injuries and also affect the decision-maker's judgment, making it easy for them to make wrong decisions."

Lu Fan paused, his gaze returning to the building, his tone becoming more somber: "These three evils combined will have a significant negative impact on the building owner over time. In particular, the 'Hanging Knife Evil' is located in the southeast Xun position, which represents wind, flow, and decision-making."

People living here have likely made several wrong judgments at crucial moments recently, leading to significant setbacks or losses in their careers, mostly in the frustrating way of "the duck that was almost in their hand flying away."

He glanced at the attentive old man and continued, "'White Tiger Sha' affects the waist and abdomen, corresponding to a person's spleen and stomach, as well as the women in the family. The women in your family have probably been experiencing digestive issues lately, and even after seeing a doctor, the problem is difficult to resolve. They are also prone to irritability and restlessness."

There are also frequent arguments and disputes within the family, especially regarding matters of property or career direction, which are difficult to reach an agreement on and often end in discord.

"As for the 'Reverse Bow Sha'..." Lu Fan shook his head, "The coming and going of wealth is a minor matter. The most important thing is that it can make people's hearts unsettled and cause the team to fall apart."

You can't retain capable subordinates, and those you bring in are often disloyal and lack cohesion, making it difficult to form a united force. You've probably experienced this recently; your plans are perfect, but execution is constantly thwarted, as if by invisible resistance.

With each word he spoke, the old man holding the broom beside him changed his expression.

After Lu Fan finished speaking, the old man had completely put down the broom. The calm expression on his face disappeared, replaced by undisguised astonishment and solemnity.

"You..." The old man's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Lu Fan's young yet composed face, then at the building in front of him that he valued highly but which had been plagued by misfortune. "Young man, do you know the person behind this building?"

Lu Fan shook his head: "Don't you recognize me?"

Yu Tinglan also found the old man rather strange and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you know the owner of this building? Is everything Lu Fan said true?"

The old man nodded and slowly said, "This young man's words are absolutely correct. The owner of the building invested in a project at the end of last year, but the other party suddenly turned against him and switched sides just before signing the contract, causing him a considerable loss."

Last month, a vice president who had worked for him for eight years left with his team, giving vague reasons. Meanwhile, his wife had been complaining of bloating and loss of appetite for the past two months. They had visited several hospitals and taken a lot of medication, but her condition hadn't improved much.

My family has argued at least three times over the land he recently acquired in the south of the city. Sigh!

With each statement he made, his tone grew increasingly somber.

The old man looked Lu Fan up and down, his gaze completely changing.

It's no longer about looking at a young person who happens to know a little about feng shui, but about looking at a master who can see through the root of the trouble at a glance.

"Old man," Lu Fan calmly met his gaze, "Feng shui is the influence of the environment on people. It doesn't come from nothing; it only amplifies or accelerates certain existing trends. The problem with this building is very real."

The old man remained silent for a long time before speaking solemnly, "Young man, can you change what you just said?"

"It can be changed." Lu Fan nodded. "The tall building on the west side can be used to mitigate the negative energy. You can hang a convex Bagua mirror at an appropriate location on the west exterior wall of the building, or plant a row of tall, round-leaved green plants as a buffer."

If there is a road curving away from the front door, a screen can be placed inside the main entrance. It is best to use wood, and the pattern should be landscape or circular. It should not be translucent, so as to resolve the direct impact.

The suspended blade-shaped decoration on the roof should ideally be removed and replaced with a rounded sphere or platform. If removal is impossible, a complete Tai Chi symbol can be painted below the metal decoration, corresponding to the ceiling of a room inside the building, using cinnabar mixed with gold powder; this can also mitigate some of the negative effects.

After listening, a glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes: "If we change it as you say, all those problems will be gone?"

"Feng shui adjustments are supplementary, not a panacea," Lu Fan said frankly. "Making changes can resolve most of the negative effects, making the environment more harmonious and things go more smoothly. But the specific results depend on what the people living here do."

The old man stared at Lu Fan for several seconds, then suddenly laughed: "Young man, you're telling me all this in such detail, does that mean... you've guessed who I am?"

Lu Fan smiled and readily admitted, "Old man, you have a full forehead, a square jaw, a prominent bridge of your nose, and clear, dignified eyes. You are clearly not an ordinary person."

And you're so concerned about the feng shui of this building… I guess you're probably the owner of this building, or… someone who can manage it.”
