Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Chapter 22 The Men in the Haunted House Must Have a House

Fourth Uncle asked Shang Muchen, "Little Chen, that girl from the Liu family is a nice person. How are things going between you two?"

"We're together."

"Oh, that's great!" Fourth Uncle laughed. "Although that girl carries some inexplicable karmic burden, she is definitely a good child."

Being able to date her is absolutely the greatest blessing of your life, you should cherish her.

"My dad doesn't agree," Shang Muchen said, pouting.

"You're going to listen to him? Has your second brother ever made a single right choice in his life?" Fourth Uncle pouted and said, "You're so old, why don't you hurry up and find a partner?"

Listen to your fourth uncle: the four words "establishing a family and career" are all done simultaneously, without any order.

The idea that you should establish a career before starting a family is completely wrong!

At your age, you should be looking for a partner and building your career at the same time.

So, you should be willing to spend money when necessary, and spend it wisely, not waste it. Xiao Chen, you're a smart kid, that's great, I trust you.

I believe you will make the right choice!

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!" Shang Muchen felt a warm glow in his heart after hearing his Fourth Uncle's words, with a heavy red envelope tucked into his bag.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, didn't you say yesterday that you were looking for a place to live?"

I actually found you a place that's absolutely huge, absolutely awesome, absolutely comfortable, and absolutely fun.

"How about you come with me to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Muchen's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's wonderful, Fourth Uncle, you're so thoughtful!"

The uncle and nephew took a taxi to the 157 Art Park, located in the eastern part of Yanji City.

On the way, Uncle Si made a phone call to contact him.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the art park pedestrian street. The two got out of the car, and a big, fat man with two henchmen stood by the roadside, smiling to greet them.

Shang Muchen immediately recognized that this man had attended his graduation banquet a few days ago.

Shang Muchen thought for a long time and remembered that this person's surname was Wang. He was a big boss who invested in performances. His company had dozens of artists and had invested in many famous web dramas and animations.

"President Wang!" Shang Muchen took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands warmly with the fat man.

"Don't call me 'General Manager Wang,' call me 'Brother.' I'm less than fifteen years older than you, we're from the same generation, so just think of me as your older brother." The fat man turned around enthusiastically and asked Fourth Uncle:

"Master Shang, shall I show you a house?"

"Yes, lead the way." Fourth Uncle nodded magnanimously.

Stepping into the 157 Art District, Shang Muchen was dazzled and overwhelmed by the sights. Everywhere he looked, there were innovative shops converted from old Bauhaus-style factories, and creative works from top artists from all over the world were on display.

After passing through the bustling exhibition street of the art district and bypassing the magnificent, multi-story-high machines left by the old factory, the group arrived at the deepest part of the art district, a cluster of low-rise buildings.

"This used to be a factory warehouse, but now it's been transformed into studios and showrooms," the chubby Mr. Wang explained. "Look, this building, that building, and those five buildings over there are all investments I made."

Each property is now worth over 100 million.

"Wow!" Shang Muchen exclaimed sincerely.

"Brother Shang, this is all thanks to Master Shang's guidance!" The fat Mr. Wang said with a smile. "More than ten years ago, I was hesitant about whether to buy this dilapidated warehouse, so I asked Master Shang for advice."

Master Shang asserted that this place would surely prosper.

So, I stamped my foot and sold an apartment inside the Second Ring Road, scraped together less than ten million yuan, and bought all the dilapidated warehouses, factories, machines, and even a whole bunch of other odds and ends.

Now converted into bars, nightclubs, offices, studios, and showrooms, their value has increased dozens or even hundreds of times!

Master Shang showed me the right path in life, and I, Wang, will remember Master Shang's kindness for the rest of my life!

"Xiao Wang, you're exaggerating. You've worked hard on the renovations over the past ten years, and you've put in a lot of effort."

"Hey, what are you saying?"

Tired? Who isn't tired? Starting a business is tiring, but isn't working for someone else tiring?

Tightening screws in a factory is tiring, serving dishes is tiring, and sitting in an office is tiring.

But the key is that you pointed me in the right direction. Although I'm tired, it's the right path, so my hard work wasn't in vain.

Choosing the right path is more important than any hardship!

Although I've been tired over the past ten years, I've done it all for myself, and it's been worth it, so worth it!

Brother Shang, remember this: never work for someone else your whole life. If you're going to do something, do it for yourself!

"Okay! I'll definitely remember that."

Shang Muchen found the chubby man quite approachable.

The group stopped in front of a two-and-a-half-story brick and stone building.

Shang Muchen looked up and saw that it was a detached house converted from an independent factory, with a small yard in front of it.

The house features a Bauhaus-style skylight at the top, allowing the afternoon sun to stream into the house.

Although it was converted from an old factory, the building has a very fashionable exterior, with the addition of metal components and exaggerated facade decorations.

Upon reaching the house entrance, the massive and heavy metal double doors were tightly locked.

Shang Muchen wondered if the yard in front of the house looked like it hadn't been weeded in a while, and the gate was locked, so it looked like no one had lived there for some time. Could this be a studio apartment?

The fat man entered the password for the door lock, and the door opened slowly with a loud bang.

"Let's not rush in. Let's open the door first and let it air out." The fat man knocked hard on the door and then opened it.

As soon as the door opened, Shang Muchen saw that the interior was exquisitely decorated.

Looking in from the outside, the interior is a two-story duplex.

At first glance, the building is very large, after all, it was originally a factory. The first floor alone must be over a thousand square meters. The second floor is not clear, but it must be at least several hundred square meters.

The building is cleverly designed, preserving the original red brick walls, steel staircases, and skylights of the factory, while adding many exquisite lights and a full range of electrical equipment.

Besides the usual furniture and household items, there are many other fun things in the house.

A basketball hoop was hanging on the high, empty wall, a billiard table was placed in the empty space under the stairs, a bicycle and various tools were hanging on the wall near the door, and even a zipline, climbing frame and climbing wall were installed high up next to the stairs.

It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time. Wang's two underlings went inside to open the windows and turn on the power to the smart home system before Wang invited Shang Muchen and his fourth uncle inside.

"Brother Xiao Shang, please make yourself at home."

"Water, electricity, gas, heating, internet, property management fees, parking—I'll cover all the costs. You don't need to pay a cent; just move in."

"Wow, that's great, thank you, Brother Wang! Which room do I stay in?"

"Which room? What do you mean?"

Shang Muchen gestured towards the second floor with his lips.

"What are you thinking? It's all yours!" President Wang patted Shang Muchen on the shoulder, waving his hand magnanimously into the room, and said.

"This house, and everything inside, is yours. You can live here as you please, brother!"

See that bicycle? It's a Trek!

The wine cabinet in the basement, filled with red and foreign liquor, is all yours!

The previous owner of this house loved to play, and there were lots of fun things there. They're all yours now; you can explore them as you please!

"Ah? My goodness!" Shang Muchen turned to his fourth uncle, flattered, and asked, "Fourth Uncle, I live here?"

"Of course," Fourth Uncle said with a smile.

"This...this...am I worthy?"

"Don't rush, there's still something to talk about. You're not staying here for nothing, you'll have work to do."

"What kind of work?"

"This is a haunted house," Uncle Si said with a wicked grin.
