In the eyes of so common folks, this is just superstition, and many even mock them as foolish, thinking they've been deceived by those so-called masters.
But are these wealthy people truly ignorant and foolishly superstitious? Are they dumber than ordinary people like you?
That's clearly impossible.
Peng Qirui's father, Peng Henian, the chairman of Da Yun Group, was deeply in belief of fate. When he was young, due to natural disasters and famine, he fled south with his family from the north. On the way, first his father died, and eventually, his mother died too. Before she died, his mother told him to keep heading south until he could find food and not starve to death.
At that ti, Peng Henian was only nine years old, taking along his seven-year-old sister, muddled and continuing southward until he fainted at the foot of a mountain.
When he woke up, his sister was gone, and it was an old man with a white beard who had saved him.
He wanted to find his sister, but he had no strength at all.
The old man gave him a roasted sweet potato and told him that he was destined to experience such calamity, but once he survived it, everything would go smoothly for him until he turned seventy. If he managed to avoid the great calamity at seventy, he would enjoy longevity thereafter.
At the ti, Peng Henian didn't understand any of this; he just wanted to find his sister.
The white-bearded old man told him, "When you earn a million, your sister will reappear."
Peng Henian didn't understand, thinking the old man was joking with him. Nonetheless, he kept kowtowing to the old man, hoping he would help find his sister.
The old man helped him up, patted his head, asked for his na and date of birth. At the ti, he went by the na Guo Xiaonian, but the old man said that the na was not good and told him to be called Guo Henian henceforth, using the 'Henian' for 'crane,' symbolizing auspicious longevity.
Afterward, the old man took Peng Henian to a nearby village, arranged for a family with the surna Peng to adopt him, and left quietly.
As he grew older, Guo Henian learned from his adoptive parents that the white-bearded old man was a very famous Taoist in their region, renowned for his dical skills. His adoptive father's family had received favors from him, even saving his adoptive father's life.
Because of this, his adoptive father decided to adopt him. Otherwise, they already had two children and it was tough to sustain the family, let alone take in another child.
Just back then, due to the social environnt, temples and Taoist shrines were either destroyed, empty, or repurposed. The white-bearded old man also had to conform, cutting his long hair and returning to secular life, but always wandering without a permanent residence.
Guo Henian never again saw that kind-hearted white-bearded Taoist.
As he grew older, Guo Henian gradually beca sensible, started handling family affairs, and began doing small-scale trading secretly.
In the early eighties, thanks to favorable policies, he beca a self-employed entrepreneur, one of the first in the village to earn ten thousand yuan. In the early nineties, he officially founded a company and beca a genuine entrepreneur.
It was then that his personal wealth accumulated to a million. By pure chance, he encountered and was reunited with his sister, who had been lost to him for over twenty years.
At that ti, he suddenly recalled the words of that white-bearded old man and found them uncannily accurate.
Three years ago, at age seventy, he suddenly fell seriously ill and almost didn't survive.
Afterwards, he officially stepped back, holding only the title of chairman and rarely involved in company affairs.
From that point on, every prediction made by the white-bearded old Taoist about his life proved true, leaving no doubt that he was a true sage.
Because of this, over the past few years, Guo Henian has been very superstitious, often going to so Taoist shrines to offer incense and worship, and discussing Dao with so old Taoists, always donating a significant amount of money afterward.
Specifically, he donated money early on to rebuild the shrine where the old Taoist was said to have been ordained, and has renovated it several tis over the years, expanding its size multiple tis.
However, he was never able to trace the specific personal information of that white-bearded old Taoist, which remained a regret for Guo Henian.
Being exposed to these influences from a young age, Peng Qirui also held great respect for Taoists. Even if he wasn't as superstitious as his father, he was quite interested and willing to believe in these mystical matters.
After all, it was his own father, back in the day, who was saved by that white-bearded old Taoist and given guidance.
Yet, over these many years, he hadn't really encountered a truly skillful mystic, mostly just fraudsters out to swindle money.
That was until he confird that Chen Feng's extraordinary sixth sense was indeed true, which brought him great excitent.
For this reason, he genuinely wanted to introduce this remarkable Chen Feng to his father.
This not only showed his regard for Chen Feng, but was also an attempt to keep his father from overexerting himself, given he was well into his seventies and still frequently traveled to distant famous Taoist shrines to offer incense.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng was not appreciative, and Peng Qirui found himself at a loss.
After a mont of silence, Peng Qirui still sent a ssage over: [My dad is very interested in extraordinary people and events. Can I tell him about your extraordinary sixth sense?]
Chen Feng thought their communication ended there, but Peng Qirui sent another ssage.
Seeing it, Chen Feng replied with: [As you wish]
Peng Qirui felt a bit speechless after reading that, and after so hesitation, he ultimately did not continue the conversation with Chen Feng.
He wasn't stupid; it was obvious Chen Feng didn't want to chat much with him.
At the mont, Chen Feng really couldn't be bothered with Peng Qirui; he was chatting with Liu Ying.
Liu Ying sent him a ssage saying that Hong Xiaodan went for a prenatal checkup and discovered the fetus had an irregular heartbeat, which was quite worrying. Additionally, her overall ntal state was poor, showing symptoms of prenatal depression; things weren't looking good.
Despite appearances, Chen Feng wasn't truly heartless. Even if he didn't care about Hong Xiaodan's well-being, the child in her womb was his flesh and blood, so how could he be completely indifferent?
Thus, as Chen Feng searched for information about fetal arrhythmias on his phone, he also asked Liu Ying for more details on Hong Xiaodan's condition, feeling so concern for the child.
Liu Ying sent him a voice ssage saying: [I've looked into it, and this kind of situation mainly stems from issues with the mother, such as not resting well, being in a bad mood, not having a properly balanced diet, etc. The major cause is her poor ntal state. I suspect she really might have prenatal depression, which isn't good for the baby she's carrying.]
Chen Feng worriedly asked in a voice ssage: [So what do you suggest we do?]
Liu Ying responded: [ntal problems need ntal redies. The reason for her prenatal depression has a lot to do with you. You've been largely ignoring her, and your attitude might even be a bit harsh. She's having a child out of wedlock and feels constantly worried, can't even sleep well, and often cries out of nowhere, which is certainly bad.]
