Small town, you know about feng shui too?

After such a long period of understanding since his Transmigration, Zhou Cheng had gained a certain level of insight into Zhou Shurong.

As a person, she wasn't inherently problematic; aside from being a bit fiery in temperament and lacking brains, everything else was fairly acceptable.

Moreover, the reason she kept clamoring in his ear, demanding that he hand over the Chenyang Group to her management, was due to her excessive superstition regarding Xiao Tianling's Inner Voice.

This was entirely influenced by the plot.

So, in terms of brains alone, it was understandable.

After all, Xiao Tianling hadn't been refined by him yet, and Zhou Shurong was currently one of Xiao Tianling's future designated wives. It was normal for her to temporarily lose her wits and lack brains.

Once he returned and refined Xiao Tianling, Zhou Shurong should recover!

Additionally, the reason Zhou Shurong believed that as long as Zhou Daoming supported her and asked him to hand over the Chenyang Group's shares, he would obediently comply, was completely influenced by the thinking found in female-oriented short dramas or novels.

Because in many female-oriented works, they place too much emphasis on the hierarchical framework of ruler-subject, elder-younger, and legitimate-illegitimate relationships.

For example, in many plots, even though the Female Protagonist is powerful and the world's number one, she willingly obeys her elders, endures humiliation from minor female antagonists without resistance, and even deliberately hides her grievances without speaking out.

In male-oriented thinking, especially in Zhou Cheng's mindset, concepts like ruler-subject or elder-younger legitimacy are all useless compared to the power in one's hands!

As long as you have troops, you are the ruler.

Whether it's donning the imperial yellow robe, making do with eight hundred, or declaring your father the retired emperor—all of it can be done!

As long as you have power and money, what elders, relatives, or other messy things—

If you dislike them, just don't give them any Face!

If they dare to push their Luck, send them all in!

Even if they can't be sent in, Zhou Cheng would find other ways to suppress them harshly!

In Zhou Cheng's world, he is the only one! Those around him are his own people!

"Attitude? Zhou Shurong, you should have understood me long ago. My attitude toward fools has always been like this!" Zhou Cheng looked at Zhou Shurong casually.

Although he understood why Zhou Shurong was so brainless now, it didn't mean Zhou Cheng had to indulge her when faced with her senseless words!

"Zhou Cheng, you!!!" Zhou Shurong's Face flushed with anger upon hearing Zhou Cheng's blunt words.

So, she turned her gaze to Zhou Daoming.

"Grandfather, look at him! From start to finish, he has never treated me as his sister! He has never taken my words seriously. I truly want to take charge of the Chenyang Group to save it and for the sake of the Zhou Family!"

"Grandfather, let me tell you, I have someone under me who is quite miraculous—he has the ability to foresee the future. He said Zhou Cheng would destroy the Zhou Family, and the Dragon King incident proves it."

To persuade Zhou Daoming to side with her, Zhou Shurong even revealed a bit of Xiao Tianling's ability as a Reborn Person.

However, upon hearing this, Zhou Daoming only smiled helplessly.

"Shurong, do you really think my words alone could make Xiao Cheng hand over his shares? Your grandfather doesn't have that much influence. Don't dwell on it. I've been keeping up with the news in Shanghai, and Xiao Cheng has done very well."

As he spoke, Zhou Daoming didn't forget to praise Zhou Cheng at the end, and this praise was sincere.

When he learned that Zhou Yuanbo actually wanted to hand over the Chenyang Group to Su Fang and her son, he was so furious he almost rushed to Shanghai overnight to teach Zhou Yuanbo a lesson.

It was only after seeing Zhou Cheng turn the tide at the Board of Directors and later uncover evidence of Su Fang and her son's illegal activities that he refrained from taking action!

So, in his view, Zhou Cheng was truly outstanding!

Especially just now, after witnessing Zhou Cheng send The Wretch and his Group all in, he felt particularly reassured about Zhou Cheng. The so-called Dragon King definitely couldn't shake the Zhou Family under Zhou Cheng's management!

"Grandfather..." Zhou Shurong looked at him resentfully upon hearing Zhou Daoming's words.

She hadn't expected that even after revealing a bit of Xiao Tianling's ability, she wouldn't gain anyone's support. In everyone's eyes, it seemed like she was just causing trouble!

"Zhou Cheng! The Zhou Family will be destroyed by you sooner or later!" Zhou Shurong said, then, overwhelmed by anger, stormed back to her room!

Zhou Cheng glanced at her casually, without any emotional fluctuation. Zhou Shurong kept repeating the same two lines, as if she hadn't eaten enough.

After Zhou Shurong left, Zhou Cheng focused all his attention on Zhou Daoming.

"Grandfather, when you were young, you studied the Dao. What aspects of Daoist arts did you learn?" Zhou Cheng probed indirectly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoming turned and looked at Zhou Cheng with interest.

"Feng shui and Luck. I assessed all the feng shui in the surrounding area," Zhou Daoming said.

"What about our family's?" Zhou Cheng inquired.

"Naturally, I handled it personally," Zhou Daoming said, then mysteriously leaned close to Zhou Cheng's ear and whispered.

"There's a Small Dragon Vein here. I buried your Great-Grandfather there."

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng's curiosity was piqued: "Was Great-Grandfather buried vertically, then? After all, if ancestors are buried vertically, descendants are sure to prosper."

Zhou Cheng casually joked about their Old Ancestor.

But to his surprise, Zhou Daoming listened and looked at Zhou Cheng with a serious expression!

"Xiao Cheng, you also understand feng shui? That's right, your Great-Grandfather really was buried vertically!"

This left Zhou Cheng momentarily stunned.

Damn, could it be that the reason the old man in our family had such explosive Luck to meet the Chen Family's Eldest Daughter was because Great-Grandfather was buried vertically, making the feng shui and Luck work?

This world is getting more and more mysterious.

As his abilities grew, Zhou Cheng felt he understood this world less and less!

Afterward, Zhou Cheng wanted to learn more related information.

"Grandfather, can I learn a bit of Daoist arts from you?" Zhou Cheng asked.

If he combined legal and criminal laws with Daoist arts—

Wouldn't that mean he could handle both humans and ghosts?

"We'll see," Zhou Daoming neither agreed nor refused.

Zhou Cheng wanted to learn more, but Zhou Daoming fell silent again.

This left Zhou Cheng silent too. Damn, this old man was just like some side characters in TV dramas who, after being fatally wounded by the killer and with the protagonist arriving, still had a breath left. They could clearly say who the killer was, but they hemmed and hawed until they died without revealing the name!

It's really infuriating!

Forget it, teach or don't teach.

Zhou Cheng didn't dwell too much on these matters.

Outside, the banquet continued nonstop. Villagers brought their entire families to eat at the Zhou Family's home, with a specially hired team of chefs constantly cooking! The excitement never ceased.

After eating, Zhou Cheng stood on the rooftop, admiring the mountain village scenery with Zhou Feiyu.

Zhou Wanyu also stood beside Zhou Cheng.

"Second Brother, why does Big Sister always oppose you and lose her temper at you? She's actually a very good person—polite to everyone, just a bit fiery, but never loses her temper with others."

Zhou Wanyu looked at Zhou Cheng's profile and asked curiously.

Clearly, Second Brother had done well, saving their family's Group and driving away Su Fang and the others.

So why did Big Sister just not like Second Brother?

Zhou Cheng rested his hands on the railing, listening to Zhou Wanyu's words.

He didn't turn to look at Zhou Wanyu but kept gazing at the distant scenery!

"The reason? Actually, it's very simple: because people always lose their temper, become impatient, put on a sour Face, or even shout at those who are good to them!"

"Because they know you will tolerate, forgive, and love them!"

"So they say, 'This is my true nature.'"

Zhou Cheng spoke in a deep, measured voice, his words seemingly full of philosophy.

"But when facing others, they care about how others view them, so they are kind and patient with them."

"So, as the saying goes, those who hurt you are often your closest ones! People sometimes like to act foolishly, always pointing the blade at their own while handing the hilt to others."
