Chapter 15-Probing Each Other

“That’s all ~”

“Alright!”

I scratched my head. It seemed like I’ve heard this phrase before. I did not know why but I recently felt that there were some things I’ve experienced but yet I could not remember.

Zhang Quan did not care much, as though all of this had nothing to do with him, and he walked straight in. The two of us followed like small fries. I scolded myself and felt wretched. It was just a place, yet this aura pressured down on us, making us have no choice but to be cautious. Looking at Zhang Quan’s indifferent expression, we couldn’t help but to admire him in our hearts. A man with years of cultivation did have the maturation.

Zhang Quan closed the door, laughed, and sat on the sofa.

It was then that I realized how big the office was. It was so enough that reminded me of a small movie theater in junior high school when I was a kid. The theater was big enough to accommodate our two classes to watch movies simultaneously.

There was a sofa on the left, and in front of it was a coffee table with a few glasses on it. Distant directly to the sofa, forgive me for having to use the term “distant” was a office desk. A man sat behind it. He looked to be in his twenties, physically strong, handsome, and had a pair of sword-like brow, expressing a sense of power and prestige.

The decorations and furnishings of this room, well, were in ancient style. For example, a humidifier on the table was very special. Others’ humidifiers were just ordinary plastic ones, but this one was made into potted landscape & bonsai with mountains and streams. On top of the mountain was a water vapor oscillator, and a cloud of mist flowed down from the small mountain, just like an immortal place. However, such decorations were paradoxical to the fashionable styles outside. It was more like a temple.

“Zhang Chi Hang?” Zhang Quan laughed, and said lazily, “Chi Hang, Ci hang, from Taoism to Buddhism. This name is fitting for you. After a couple decades, Avalokitesvara’s appearance has changed, but your demeanor is still the same.”

“So this man is Avalokitesvara?” I was thoroughly shocked. That was so unbelievable. I stared at Liu Shuai who seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, “it’s a pity, I didn’t think that he would actually be a man in this life.”

“I need a name to commemorate the past. That’s all.” Zhang Chi Hang looked at Zhang Quan, “What is it?”

Zhang Quan did not speak. Suddenly, he tapped gently with his right index finger.

Then A glass in front of him flew up, then shattered into pieces. Zhang Quan’s palm trembled outwards, after which these pieces of glass flew towards Zhang Chi Hang. Although it sounded slow, it occurred actually for a moment. Even though this office was spacious, the speed of the glass was fast, and Zhang Chi Hang would be hit if he did not dodge. Concerning the speed, these pieces would inevitably make some cuts on his body.

Seeing that, Zhang Chi Hang immediately extended two of his fingers out, and with a wave of his right hand, a drop of water appeared from the cup beside him and went to the glass fragments. Very quickly, the droplet stuck to the first piece of glass fragments. After that, the drop of water seemed to have a life of its own, bringing the glass fragment to stick to the second, and so on. The most strange thing was that the water droplet was sticking to these pieces one by one in the same order as the glass shattered, and by the time the glass fragments flew in front of Zhang Chi Hang, the water droplet had finished sticking the last piece of glass fragments, turning it into a glass with countless cracks which slowly fell down in front of Zhang Chi Hang.

Zhang Chi Hang looked at the glass and said to Zhang Quan with a smile, “Brother Yun is still so humorous. You want to try me first the moment you come.”

Under our surprised gazes, Zhang Quan also laughed. “You always gonna test it out when you don’t know if it’s true or not. Don’t call me Brother Yun. It’s been so many years. Now there is no Brother Yun. ”

“You can travel everywhere with the necessity to ride a horse or boat.”

Zhang Chi Hang laughed out loud. He flicked two fingers lightly. After that, the water droplet melded into the cup and instantly the crack on the glass disappeared which turned back to be crystal clear. “I was calling Brother Yun. If you are not him, why bothering about it? Since Brother Yun dislike to be called like that, while in this life … Brother Zhang, you know your situation. This glass worths twenty-six thousand yuan. With your current income, I’m afraid you’ll need three to four months to pay for it.”

Zhang Quan’s mouth twitched, but he did not say a word. Liu Shuai’s lips also trembled. Oh my god. I hurriedly distanced myself from the remaining cups.

Just as we were talking, the phone beside Zhang Chi Hang started ringing, while he picked up the phone under our astonished gazes. The reason why we were surprised was because what he used was a Nokia from earlier years. Although it was a noble at the time, it had been an outdated antique. It was even hard to find a place to fix it if this thing broke.

“Director Wang, what’s wrong?” Zhang Chi Hang frowned. He obviously did not want to be disturbed at that moment. “Something happened on your son’s plane? You have raised so many capable people. Why are you looking for me? ”

The voice on the other end sounded anxious, but it was too far away to hear clearly.

“That’s not quite possible. You guys buy land from everywhere to make your arrangement, a big Fengshui layout in the entire country that can benefit your three generations.” Zhang Chi Hang fenced away, obviously not wanting to get himself involved.

The other party said something else on the phone. Zhang Chi Hang frowned and said, “Where are they right now?

Then he picked up another landline and dialed a number. “Xiao Hong, can Beidou cover the entire Southern Sea? Alright, I understand.”

Big Dipper? I was surprised. Could it be the Beidou Positioning Satellite?

“Let me check it first.” Zhang Chi Hang who received the reply flipped his right hand, then a few glasses beside him turned into dust and water in the glasses beside him also turned into cloud. The glass powder formed the shape of an airplane. The water mist churned and the plane swayed, as though the passengers were screaming inside.

“Whoops, there is indeed something wrong” Zhang Chi Hang said as he looked at it. The voice from the other side became even more anxious. It was unknown what was being said …

“Two hundred million to save your son?” Zhang Chi Hang laughed, “Are you trying to send the beggar away? Go find someone else. My main business is selling magazines, not playing tricks.”

“How much do you want?” This time we could hear the voice clearly. The man on the other side of the phone was screaming at the top of his lungs.

“One billion.” Zhang Chi Hang blinked his eyes at us, while our brains had already stopped working.

The other side was silent for three seconds, as if he had said something.

“Fine, that’s All.”

We furtively scolded this guy for him incredibly raising the price. How could he have any dignity of Avalokitesvara.

Zhang Chi Hang hung up the phone and looked at the cloud.
