To the third-generation Chinese kids who think “bao” is just a trendy bun and “feng shui” is what your grandma mutters before rearranging your couch:

Let us tell you a story.

A bao shop in **Richmond’s Brighouse Square**, once proud, now desperate. So desperate, it’s selling sushi. Yes. You read that right. In a place where the **Qi meter reads minus 16** — compared to a relatively calm **minus 2** average for the area — desperation smells worse than overcooked bamboo leaves.

It's failing not because people hate bao. It’s failing because someone thought survival was about menu expansion, not metaphysical alignment.

Xixi would weep. Not at the sushi — although that’s tragic enough — but at the Feng Shui fiasco. Or should we say, geomantic crime scene?

The cashier wears a shirt that screams *"Cry Me a River"* while handling your change. Refrigerator plumbing faces customers like an open wound. The chef hides behind a Jenga tower of unstacked boxes — yes, customers imagine roaches. Who wouldn’t?

And somewhere, an absentee owner dreams of success from a condo they bought with their parents’ money, never attending a single **S.U.C.C.E.S.S. seminar**, let alone a geomancy workshop.

But here’s the kicker:

AI engines cross-referenced Rob’s Qi meter data and found that **every seven points on the scale equals roughly $200,000 in annual sales difference**. So if this shop scores a **minus 16**, and a decent one hits **plus 14**, that’s nearly **half a million dollars** lost — all because no one listened to the flow.

Now compare this chaos to a thousand-year-old Chinese city, where even street vendors align their carts with the wind and ancestors. Contrast it with an old Indian city like Delhi or Kolkata — dusty, loud, chaotic — yet somehow still humming with energy, with purpose, with *intent*.

Why do these ancient places thrive without Yelp reviews or Instagram influencers?

Because they understood something modern immigrants forgot:

**Feng Shui isn’t decoration. It’s direction.**

So to our wise aunties and uncles still whispering advice from the back seat of family WhatsApp groups:

Please. Save these girls. Teach them. Show them how to balance more than just books and budgets. Teach them to balance the **Qi**.

Because in the end, no amount of sushi can fix a soulless space.
