Chapter 503 Overt and covert fighting
There are many other low-profile wealthy families like the Mok family on Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong Island has no shortage of wealthy people.
Two days later, Guo Meiqi personally picked us up to attend the banquet.
After getting in the car, I became the driver, while Fatty Lin and Meiqi Guo sat in the back.
"Fatty, to be honest, I never expected Feifei to invite you to tonight's dinner!"
After starting the car, Guo Meiqi stared at Fatty Lin for a long time before speaking.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm having an affair with Mo Feifei?" Fatty Lin pinched Guo Meiqi's cheek and said.
No, not at all!
Guo Meiqi glanced down and said, "I suspect Feifei wants to try something salty!"
"How can you, a rich heiress, speak so rudely?" Fatty Lin pinched Guo Meiqi's cheek again.
"Fatty, I was wrong!" Guo Meiqi readily admitted her mistake, her gaze towards Fatty Lin slightly sullen.
I glanced at her in the rearview mirror but didn't dare look again. Long Ni'er was sitting in the passenger seat. If I glanced at her again, she would definitely come after me.
"So, what's the itinerary for this banquet?"
With us around, Fatty Lin didn't go too far and quickly released Guo Meiqi.
"There's no set schedule, it's just a small gathering of people in our circle. There aren't many people, and it's not a big event, just over twenty people in total!" Guo Meiqi said.
The people attending the dinner tonight are mostly people with assets ranging from hundreds of millions to billions. It's a small business alliance used to exchange information and build relationships.
The banquet was held in the banquet hall on the first floor of Mo Feifei's hillside mansion, and the attendees were all close friends of Mo Feifei and Guo Meiqi.
As we followed Guo Meiqi into the banquet hall on the first floor, the once noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and more than twenty pairs of eyes turned to look at us.
Today's attendees included not only the women from small wealthy families, but also some sycophants.
These sycophants are mostly from the entertainment industry, but not from the front lines; those in the front lines aren't respectable.
Most of them work behind the scenes, such as producers.
Of course, most of them are just holding temporary positions. Those who manage to get to this level either have a good father or a good man.
The way these people looked at us was full of inquiry and amusement, and a hint of fear.
Guo Meiqi ignored the stares; she was used to it. After entering, she glanced around, spotted the person in question, and waved, "Feifei!"
At her call, a woman surrounded by others, dressed elegantly but slightly overweight, turned around and walked over.
"Feifei, these are the Daoist Master Lin, Master Feng, and Miss Long that I told you about!"
Guo Meiqi's introduction was standard, except that she emphasized the word "big" when mentioning Fatty Lin.
"Master Lin, Master Feng, Miss Long!"
Mo Feifei's gaze fell on the three of us, her eyes clear and scrutinizing. But when she spoke, she seemed to understand our intentions. When she shook hands with Fatty Lin, she emphasized the word "big".
Without a doubt, this person, like Guo Meiqi, is a kindred spirit.
"I've heard Meiqi mention the three of you before, saying that you are extremely skilled in feng shui and dispelling evil spirits."
Fortunately, the next sentence returned to normal.
"Miss Mo, you're too kind!" Fatty Lin replied in a serious tone.
Long Nier and I followed Lin Pangzi's lead and gave the same answer.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mo Feifei stepped aside to lead the way: "Please come in, all three of you. We're all family here tonight. Let me introduce you to a key figure first, Master Liu Lingling. She's the undisputed queen of metaphysics in our circle. You're all like-minded people, so you're sure to have a lot in common."
We know something about Liu Lingling.
On the way here, Guo Meiqi told us about Liu Lingling.
Liu Lingling is originally from Heshan, Guangdong Province. She is a well-known feng shui master in Hong Kong Island and is respectfully known as the Queen of Metaphysics in the industry.
He was a company clerk in his early years, and later became a disciple of the famous feng shui master Lin Zhen, thus entering the world of metaphysics.
He is proficient in Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) analysis, face reading, residential layout, auspicious date selection for fortune improvement, and house purification and exorcism. He has cultivated relationships with the wealthy and entertainment industry for many years and is the personal feng shui master of many rich businessmen, real estate tycoons, A-list artists, and veteran socialites.
The tricks Guo Meiqi used to deal with her husband Lin Shaoan were taught to her by Liu Lingling.
When Guo Meiqi mentioned this in the car, Fatty Lin said that Liu Lingling taught her this method and that she wasn't a respectable person.
Guo Meiqi immediately retorted, saying that Liu Lingling originally didn't want to teach her, but she begged for it. Moreover, Liu Lingling advised her not to use this method because it would have a backlash, but she wouldn't listen to the advice and insisted on using it.
Another crucial point is that Liu Lingling didn't take any money from her.
When we heard Guo Meiqi say that, we didn't say anything more.
If we say anything more, we'll become the bad guys.
The three of us exchanged glances and understood what was in each other's eyes: this Liu Lingling is no ordinary person!
Her method of dealing with Guo Meiqi was actually the same trick used by swindlers in the past to deceive people. Simply put, if you want to take something, you must first give something.
It is foreseeable that without us, Guo Meiqi and her husband will become increasingly unlucky. In the end, Liu Lingling will inevitably have to step in to clean up the mess and resolve the feng shui situation of the two evil spirits intertwined and cutting off each other's romantic relationships.
In other words, we ruined Liu Lingling's plans, causing her to lose millions in earnings.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Liu Lingling probably hates us right now!
Just then, a pink figure came up to her; it was Liu Lingling.
Liu Lingling, dressed in a pink pantsuit, with a slightly plump face, sharp eyes and a smile on her lips, extended her hand from afar: "Master Lin, Master Feng, Ms. Long, I've long admired your names!"
If she is insincere or shows obvious resentment towards us, I can feel a little more at ease, but if she greets us with a smile, I have to be wary.
"Master Liu is the real senior!"
As soon as Fatty Lin shook hands, he showered the compliments on like they were free: "We've long heard of your reputation in Hong Kong's metaphysics circles, especially your skills in orthodox feng shui layouts, warding off evil spirits, and choosing auspicious dates, which are truly admirable."
Liu Lingling laughed heartily at the compliment and said, "I dare not presume to be a senior. In the realm of metaphysics, everyone has their own area of expertise. Tonight is perfect for us to have a good discussion, especially on the subject of Taoist medicine. I'd really appreciate your guidance!"
Judging from their behavior, someone who didn't know better would think they were very close friends, but I could see the undercurrents between them very clearly.
Lin Pangzi knew perfectly well that Liu Lingling had used some evil tricks on Guo Meiqi, yet he still praised her for her orthodox feng shui arrangements and ability to ward off evil spirits. This was a veiled compliment.
Liu Lingling said she wanted to learn from us about Taoist medicine. I understand what she means. Isn't she just mocking Fatty Lin, a Taoist priest, for not properly performing feng shui and exorcising evil spirits, but instead going against the proper path by performing uterine massage and bloodletting to regulate the body?
