Chapter 1345 The Golden Fish Wealth Gathering Formation
Chen Xuan looked at Fu Daqiang and said, "Boss, you absolutely must not do it this way, otherwise, it will only bring you disaster."
"Boss Fu, don't you trust me?" Master Song said confidently.
"This..."
Now it was Fu Daqiang's turn to be troubled. He had initially trusted Master Song more, but Chen Xuan's words made him uncertain. What if it really brought disaster? Superstitious people are like this; a single word or action from someone else can turn them into a frightened bird.
However, he ultimately chose to believe Master Song.
But at that moment!
*Bang!*
Suddenly, a large light fixture from the ceiling fell without any warning.
In the next moment, screams erupted, and the surroundings descended into chaos.
There were only two tables of guests for lunch that day. Besides Chen Xuan's table, another table of guests was also dining in the hall. The large light fixture fell precisely above the other table of guests. It landed directly into the hot pot. Fortunately, people around dodged quickly and no serious injuries occurred. However, the splashing boiling hot pot broth scalded the arms and chests of several customers, causing them to develop large blisters and wail in pain.
"What happened?"
Everyone looked over.
Fu Daqiang's face turned extremely grim, and he gritted out, "Could it be that things are happening so quickly?"
Master Song also frowned, feeling a vague unease.
"Boss Fu, do you see now? As soon as the wealth-gathering formation was set up, such a major incident occurred," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
Fu Daqiang didn't know what to do and looked at Master Song, "Master Song, what should we do?"
"In Feng Shui and metaphysics, there's a principle of combining the void and the real. Perhaps this is what is meant by the 'real.' Have someone check the chandelier; perhaps there's a problem with it." Master Song spoke plausibly, but his heart was also wavering. Why hadn't the chandelier fallen at other times, but only after he set up the formation?
Fu Daqiang, unaware of Master Song's unease, quickly had someone go and check. The reason was soon discovered: "The hook of the chandelier is rusted and severely corroded, which is why it fell..."
Hearing this, Master Song breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Daqiang also said, "It seems to be an accident. Hurry and send the guests to the hospital; we'll cover the medical expenses." Employees immediately sent the scalded individuals to the hospital.
"Kid, what else do you have to say?" Master Song stared at Chen Xuan mockingly.
Chen Xuan spoke, "Perhaps it's an accident, but this is a wealth-gathering formation. Why are there still no customers?" He knew this wasn't an accident but was due to the Feng Shui causing some coincidental events.
"The wealth-gathering formation has just been set up; it won't work that quickly. It will take at least two days." Master Song said in a deep voice, "Boss Fu, I don't want to see him. Please ask him to leave."
Fu Daqiang always prioritized customer satisfaction, but now his livelihood depended entirely on Master Song.
"Sir, you see..."
"What are you doing? We haven't even eaten yet, and you're trying to kick us out? Do you not want your restaurant to operate anymore?" At this moment, Su Yunxi and others stood up, slapping the table, and said with great displeasure. It was clear that Chen Xuan also wanted to help, but the way they were treating him made them all unhappy. Especially Su Yunxi, whose elegant attire and unparalleled demeanor put immense pressure on Fu Daqiang, clearly indicating she came from a significant background, and Fu Daqiang dared not offend her. Coupled with being in the wrong, Fu Daqiang's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a word.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan spoke, "Master Song can't make you have customers immediately, but I have a way to make you have customers immediately. Do you believe me?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Fu Daqiang was startled and suddenly looked up, his eyes burning.
"Of course, it's true!"
"Then... please..."
Before he could finish, Master Song let out a cold snort. Obviously, Master Song was very displeased with Fu Daqiang's reaction. Fu Daqiang could no longer afford losses, as the daily expenses for employee wages, rent, and other overheads were not small. He quickly said, "Master Song, don't you also not believe him? We can just see if he can do it. If he fails, won't it be a chance to expose him and vindicate you?"
"Boss Fu, what you said makes some sense. Alright, then let him try." Master Song nodded slightly, feeling that Fu Daqiang's words held some truth.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Fu Daqiang scurried over to Chen Xuan's side and said with a smile.
"Of course." Chen Xuan said, "Please, Boss Fu, have someone go to the nearby pet market and buy six goldfish. Preferably large ones, and as soon as possible."
"Goldfish?" Fu Daqiang frowned, not understanding, but still complied with Chen Xuan's request. He immediately arranged for his subordinates and instructed, "Go to the nearest pet market and buy me six Crown Pearlscale goldfish."
"Yes!" The subordinate immediately drove off to buy goldfish.
Fu Daqiang was perplexed, but Master Song seemed to understand what was happening and muttered, "Could this kid be setting up the Seven-Colored Goldfish Grand Formation? But why are you buying six goldfish? That's not enough."
"If you haven't learned it properly, hurry back to your sect and ask your master's wife." Master Song was taunting Chen Xuan, implying he learned from his master's wife.
"Get two more people." Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered with Master Song and turned towards the restroom.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Fu Daqiang, however, increasingly felt Chen Xuan was unfathomable and quickly asked two waiters to follow Chen Xuan and help.
Before long, two waiters came out of the restroom carrying a fish tank overgrown with moss and algae. Seeing this fish tank, Master Song, who had initially wanted to mock Chen Xuan for using a broken fish tank to set up a grand formation, felt his expression change instantly upon seeing it was taken from the restroom! Keeping fish in the restroom was a major taboo, he knew that!
"Fu Daqiang, why do you have a fish tank here?" Master Song's voice had a hint of sharpness.
Fu Daqiang didn't understand why Master Song was so flustered and quietly explained, "Ah, don't mention it. It was too popular when we first opened. The fish tank took up too much space, and two fish died. I didn't have time to take care of it, so I discarded the fish tank next to the restroom."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Problem..." There was a big problem!
But Master Song didn't say it aloud. If he did, wouldn't it prove his incompetence? Moreover, even if Chen Xuan had seen the clue, could he set up the Golden Fish Wealth Gathering Formation? Everything was still uncertain. If Chen Xuan couldn't set up this Golden Fish Wealth Gathering Formation, and he later used some methods to set it up, he could step on Chen Xuan's shoulders and reach a higher level.
