Jiangli had finished speaking and turned to Fu Shiyan in the car, "President Fu, I’ll treat you to a meal another time."
Fu Shiyan nodded with a smile.
Only then did Jiangli turn and walk towards Jiaoyang Temple.
Witnessing this, Chen Yeming, who had not yet spoken, glanced at the person beside him, both somewhat surprised.
They quickly realized there was a hidden message in Jiangli’s words, as if they had figured something out, they immediately followed Chen Tianxu and Xia Xin into Jiaoyang Temple.
After watching them all enter Jiaoyang Temple, Fu Shiyan’s smile on his face faded slightly as he looked ahead, "Drive."
It was then that Duan Jianchuan started the car and left.
Upon opening the great doors of Jiaoyang Temple, Jiangli headed straight into the side hall.
Seeing this, Xia Xin led them into the side hall and said, "Ancestors, please sit down first, I will go and make tea."
"Go ahead." Jiangli glanced at Xia Xin, who was becoming increasingly clever, nodded slightly, and then turned to Chen Tianxu and the others, raising a hand, "Please, sit down and let’s talk."
Chen Tianxu immediately brought over some stools, and the three of them sat down in front of Jiangli.
At the same time, Xia Xin had just left the side hall, and when passing through the main hall, he suddenly noticed that the statue of the patriarch had turned its back again.
Xia Xin walked over with surprise and doubt, taking a closer look.
The patriarch’s statue was as usual, just facing a different direction.
But upon closer inspection, Xia Xin felt as though the patriarch seemed to be sulking or angry.
Xia Xin turned his head and caught sight of the empty incense burner beside him and suddenly slapped his forehead.
He had forgotten to offer incense before leaving, and in these past few days, the patriarch had not received any incense at all.
Xia Xin hurriedly ran over, took out a bundle of fine incense, and after offering it to the patriarch, he bowed deeply and repeatedly, apologizing to the patriarch.
However, the patriarch gave no reaction.
Xia Xin was confused about the situation for a moment.
He was somewhat helpless.
How come it felt like ever since the old ancestor returned, the patriarch had become quite capricious?
In the past, even when the sandalwood was damp, there had never been such a situation.
Xia Xin took a helpless look at the patriarch’s statue.
Perhaps it will be better tomorrow.
Xia Xin couldn’t manage this matter, as the gilded patriarch’s statue was very heavy, it was beyond his control.
Xia Xin could only go out to continue making tea.
Looking at the people who had sat down, Jiangli asked Chen Tianxu, "Aren’t you going to introduce them?"
Chen Tianxu slapped his forehead and introduced to Jiangli, "Abbot, this is my father, Chen Yeming, whom I’ve mentioned before to you."
Jiangli nodded slightly, his gaze shifting onto the man beside him, "And this gentleman is?"
"He’s my boss." Chen Yeming introduced proactively, "He came here with me."
Chen Yeming, accustomed to the workplace, maintained a standard smile on his face, neither obsequious nor greasy, "Tianxu has told us about the Abbot’s abilities, so my colleague wanted to come with me to see for himself. We’ve come here today firstly to express our gratitude to the Abbot, and secondly to ask the Abbot to read our fortunes."
"Yes, yes, I’ve been having some troubles recently and wanted to ask the Abbot for a consultation."
The man next to him introduced himself.
His name was Su Guoyu, and he worked at the same company as Chen Yeming but in a different department, holding a position slightly higher than Chen Yeming’s.
They can be considered bosses in a way.
They also had some work-related interactions, so they were somewhat acquainted.
But Su Guoyu’s recent days had been difficult.
He was responsible for external business, but could not close any deals.
After Chen Yeming had his accident, as a colleague and friend, Su Guoyu had gone to visit him at the hospital.
He happened to run into Chen Tianxu, who was accompanying Chen Yeming in the hospital room.
Listening to their father and son conversation, Chen Yeming had narrowly escaped a mishap due to the guidance of a sage, and Su Guoyu took notice.
Knowing that Chen Yeming was returning, and since he had a partnership to discuss in F City, he followed along.
He wanted to seek Jiangli’s advice.
