Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

"She seems completely different from before; she's beautiful, has a strong presence, and is incredibly confident."

"Yes, last semester she always kept her head down, and her clothes were unremarkable; she seemed very reserved. The change is huge now!"

The chatter faded away with the wind, and the car fell silent.

Li Beichen looked ahead and spoke solemnly again: "Jing Shu, we really owe you a lot for the Peach Blossom Curse incident. Thank you."

"Second Brother, you're too kind. It was just a small favor," Shen Jingshu replied casually.

"When we get to the company, I'll need your help to take a close look at the company's problems," Li Beichen said earnestly.

Shen Jingshu lowered her eyes slightly, and fragments of her past life unconsciously flashed through her mind, causing her heart to sink slightly.

Although Shen Jingshu hadn't paid much attention to the Li family in her previous life, she had still heard about them—

Not long after, the Li Group began to run into a series of problems, with projects frequently failing and losses occurring repeatedly.

Given the size of the Li family, a single setback would not have been a cause for concern. However, one misfortune after another struck, and the cash flow quickly became severely strained, throwing the group into complete disarray.

In addition, competitors took the opportunity to suppress the company and poach its employees with high salaries, resulting in the departure of a large number of core executives and key personnel. Beset by internal and external troubles, the once-powerful Li Group rapidly declined in just a few years and eventually declared bankruptcy.

Shen Jingshu instantly recalled the strange feng shui formation at the Li family's old mansion.

Now that her cultivation has greatly increased and she has accumulated merit, her Heavenly Eye is no longer what it used to be. Upon returning, she is determined to thoroughly investigate the origins of that formation and see if she can completely suppress and avert this catastrophic disaster.

Just as I was pondering this, the car came to a steady stop in front of the Li Group building.

Li Beichen got out of the car and walked into the building with Shen Jingshu.

When the receptionist saw President Li personally leading a young woman in, she assumed it was his new girlfriend. But upon closer inspection, she recognized her as Miss Shen, the president's stepsister, and quickly greeted her respectfully.

The two walked straight into the president's private elevator and went all the way to the top floor.

"Jing Shu, please have a seat."

Li Beichen's assistant quickly served tea and snacks, then quietly slipped out and closed the office door.

In the huge top-floor office, only the two of them remained.

Li Beichen looked at Shen Jingshu with a serious expression: "Jingshu, can you help me check if there's anything strange or inappropriate in my office?"

In fact, Shen Jingshu had already scanned the entire room as soon as she entered.

This office is tastefully decorated and has a well-proportioned layout, clearly designed by professionals. On the surface, there are no issues with its feng shui.

If the feng shui is fine, why did the Li family go bankrupt step by step in their previous life?

Shen Jingshu stood up and walked slowly around the office, her gaze sweeping over every corner.

Finally, she stopped in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked outside, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

found it.

The root cause of the Li Group's series of misfortunes and gradual decline lies here.

Seeing that she had been standing motionless by the window for a long time, Li Beichen got up and walked over, following her gaze to look outside.

He had been in this office for several years and was tired of the view outside the window. Looking left and right, he couldn't find anything unusual.

The Li Group headquarters is located in the core business district of Jiangcheng, surrounded by high-rise buildings, where every inch of land is precious. It is adjacent to the buildings of some of the top local companies, offering a wide view and a panoramic view of the bustling city.

Li Beichen stared intently outwards, his gaze sweeping over the rows of skyscrapers. He looked around for a long time, his expression blank, showing no sign of anything amiss.

He turned to look at Shen Jingshu beside him, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked in confusion, "Jingshu, what's wrong outside? All I see are normal office buildings around here, nothing special."

Shen Jingshu raised her hand and pointed to two buildings standing side by side diagonally opposite, her tone calm but with a hint of solemnity: "Second brother, look in the direction I'm pointing and carefully examine the shape and orientation of those two buildings."

Li Beichen followed the direction she pointed and stared intently in that direction.

Two tall buildings stood side by side across the street, their facades simple glass curtain walls gleaming coldly in the sunlight, looking no different from the other office buildings around them. He stared at them for a while, still completely bewildered, and shook his head: "Nothing special, just two ordinary office buildings. What's wrong?"

Shen Jingshu slightly raised her eyes, her voice clear and cold, each word hitting the nail on the head:

"Second brother, take a close look at their overall design. These two buildings, one in front of the other and one on the left and right, look like a pair of tall, upright bull horns from your office angle, don't they?"

Li Beichen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked again.

Upon seeing this, his whole body suddenly stiffened.

That's absolutely right!

The rooftops of the two buildings taper slightly inward, while the middle sections of the buildings widen outward. Their overall outlines are sharp and upright. From this angle, they look exactly like a pair of bull horns pointing straight at each other, directly facing the main building of the Li Group, their sharpness exposed and their menacing aura surging straight towards them.

"This is..." Li Beichen's expression darkened slightly.

"This is one of the most inauspicious formations in Feng Shui, the Double Oxen Head-on Sha."

Shen Jingshu spoke calmly, yet each word was clear: "The two high-rise buildings form a triangular formation, relentlessly attacking your CEO office and the entire Li Group headquarters day and night, bringing with them malevolent energy. At best, this will lead to fluctuating fortunes, flawed decision-making, and frequent project losses; at worst, it will cause internal disintegration, the loss of talent, and the collapse of the financial chain, dragging you down step by step until utter ruin."

A cold sweat instantly broke out on Li Beichen's back.

For the past few years, he had always felt that things weren't going smoothly for the group. Projects that seemed well-planned and had promising prospects would inexplicably run into problems; loyal executives would suddenly be poached by competitors; and businesses that seemed sure to make money would end up losing money. He always thought it was a problem with the market environment and internal management, never imagining that the root cause was actually in feng shui.

"A double bull attacking the heart..." His voice deepened slightly. "Were these two buildings constructed only in recent years?"

"That's right." Shen Jingshu nodded. "The evil aura only took shape in the last year or two. That coincides with the time when the Li family started having a series of problems."

She paused, then continued:

"Moreover, this is not a naturally formed pattern. The height, spacing, and orientation of the two buildings opposite are all precisely aligned, clearly a feng shui arrangement deliberately set up by someone to target and suppress the Li family."

A cold glint flashed in Li Beichen's eyes.

He had been in charge of the Li Group for many years and had many rivals in the business world, but this was the first time someone had dared to use such insidious methods to harm the entire group.

"Then... can this situation be resolved?" He immediately looked at Shen Jingshu, his tone tinged with urgency.

The Peach Blossom Curse had already caused him immense suffering, and now he had no doubt about his stepsister's abilities.

Shen Jingshu gazed at the pair of "bull horns" outside the window and smiled faintly:

"It can be solved."

This situation is very insidious, with deep-rooted problems; it can't be resolved simply by placing an ornament. I need to go back and prepare some things first.
