Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 694 Rookie
Through the mist rising from the teacup, Chu Tianyao looked at Mu Hansha thoughtfully.The world only saw his usual heartless and pretentious smile, but they didn't know that there were so many difficulties hidden behind such a smile.Looking at people, you really can't just look at the surface.

"According to your monthly remittance amount, from this year to 100 years, I have already remitted the full amount to your family. What you think you owe them has now been paid off, and your life will belong to you in the future." It's gone."

The tears in Mu Hansha's eyes faintly intertwined with the drifting water mist, and he cupped his hands over the top, and fell down on his knees in total convincing:

"From now on, this subordinate is willing to swear allegiance to the Nine Venerables!"

After a long journey, Xilingchen finally found the mansion where Wang Haichao's family lived.Standing in front of the gate, he waved his hand casually, unfolded the folding fan, and then paced back and forth, leisurely looking into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, you can vaguely see a few middle-aged men with cloth towels on their heads, pushing a cart of cement-like packaging bags, and there are also many young people in coarse linen clothes, helping each other on both sides.Several children, no more than five or six years old, with muddy hands and faces, were running around in the yard vigorously.There was also an old man with deep wrinkles sitting on the stone steps, smoking a dry cigarette, his face full of bitterness.

"It's really ugly. He is clearly a son of a nobleman, but he lives like he came out of a slum." Xi Lingchen said to himself in his heart.He finally understood why Wang Haichao couldn't hold onto the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and what you get in exchange for every step of retreat will only be oppression by your opponents every step of the way.Now let them be responsible for these corner projects. After a while, I am afraid that even this big house will be divided up by those ambitious presidents.

"Brother, who are you looking for?" Xiling Chen was thinking, when a young man in a blue robe greeted him.The appearance is gentle and elegant, and the nobility is secretly born.He was directing the work of the people in the courtyard before, with a gentle attitude. Every time he assigned a task, it was like a discussion between friends, and sometimes he did it himself. Judging from the expressions of everyone, they respected him quite a lot.

Xi Lingchen had already guessed eight points about his identity, but on the surface he didn't reveal it at all.He smiled politely: "Excuse me, does Wang Haichao, the owner of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, live here?"

The young man nodded, seeming to be more confused: "I am, who are you?"

Xilingchen raised his right hand, put away the folding fan neatly, cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "At Xiaxilingchen, I was entrusted by Senior Wang Dongliu to collect the token of the chamber of commerce. Could you please come out and tell me, Madam."

When Wang Haichao heard him mention Wang Dongliu's name, his eyes widened in surprise: "My father? Have you met my father?" He wanted to immediately go up to him and ask for details.But after thinking about it for a while, eyebrows frowned slightly, and the original kindness was covered with a layer of guard: "No, it is my father's intention, what proof do you have? How do I know that you are not sent by other presidents?"

Xilingchen sneered secretly, and said calmly, "Then please help me to bring a word to my wife. I will store it in..." His lips moved slightly, and the most important places were all explained by sound transmission, "... the pill of... Give the book iron coupon to the person who comes, and everything will be done according to his words, that's it."

In the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, there are many people who know the iron coupons of Danshu, but only Wang Dongliu and his wife know the exact collection location.Whoever can master this token will be the orthodox successor of the chamber of commerce.For a long time, the other presidents have used various means to conspire, so it is no wonder that Wang Haichao became wary when he first heard about it.

"...Okay, wait a moment." Perhaps Xilingchen was indeed the first to tell the location of the collection. Although Wang Haichao didn't know if the location was real or not, it was indeed necessary to confirm with his mother.While nodding in agreement, while turning around, he still couldn't help looking Xilingchen up and down, hoping to find some clues.

Xilingchen looked back indifferently, with a calm smile on his face all the time, as unfathomable as those elder foxes... Wang Haichao could only give up in the end, turned around and walked away quickly.

Xilingchen shook his head, sneered, and unfolded the folding fan again, fanning the wind carelessly.

The previous conversation with Wang Haichao, the other employees in the yard only heard the general idea, but they also vaguely saw that he had an extraordinary background.Although he was working on his hands, he had to sneak a few glances at him from time to time.I don't know if it's the domineering business world tempered by Mr. Ye Ye's career, or the oppression of his own strength in the sky-reaching realm. Everyone looked at it, but no one dared to speak up without authorization.

Xilingchen naturally knew that everyone was paying attention to him, but he didn't want to spend too much time on these employees. He still had that skilled and alienated smile on his face, quietly shaking his folding fan in his hand.

Not long after, a dignified woman hurried out, supported by Wang Haichao.Seeing this, the staff in the courtyard hurriedly retreated to the side, and looked at Xilingchen, which seemed to have another meaning.If it was just exploration at first, now it is filled with surprise and respect.In any case, this young man's status will definitely not be low if Mrs. Labor can come out to welcome her in person!

"Master Xiling, I'm really sorry for neglecting you earlier." Wangmu walked up to Xilingchen, under her dignified smile, there was an unconcealable nervousness.He took out a square box wrapped in yellow silk, and carefully handed it over, "This is the iron scroll of the alchemy book you want... But, have you really met my husband?"

Xilingchen quickly adjusted his standing posture, gave a little salute, took the box, weighed it casually, and responded calmly: "Since Madam is willing to come out to welcome me, and handed me the iron coupon of the Dan book, I think she has trusted me. Why do you need to ask more questions?"

Wang Mu's expression became more cramped, and the forced smile was a little bit bitter: "No... You see, I am also confused by joy. I just want to know, Dongliu, what else can he say?"

After her husband was imprisoned, the whole family lost their backbone, and she could only survive alone.It is necessary to appease the employees who live at home, but also to deal with those presidents with bad intentions.A woman suffers too much, but these hardships cannot be told to her son. As the only man in the family, the burden on his shoulders is far heavier than his own.

In the darkness that was so heavy that she couldn't see tomorrow, she had been enduring it until now, and suddenly she got the news of her husband, how could it not make her feel mixed feelings?

Xilingchen still had the formulaic tone: "Senior Wang Dongliu is very concerned about his wife and Master Haichao, and told me to take good care of your future life. Madam, please take care of yourself. You and the young master are doing well. Senior is in prison. Only then can you feel at ease."

Wang Haichao held his mother's hand tightly, and the mother and son looked at each other, eyes filled with joy.Perhaps only those who have experienced it can experience the joy of suffering.

"Brother Xiling, I'm really sorry before." After comforting his mother, Wang Haichao also sincerely smiled at Xilingchen.

Xi Lingchen glanced at him, then suddenly raised the fan, and knocked on him head on.

"You are very wary, but you can neither judge who is trustworthy, nor can you fight back against those who are really hostile to you. No wonder the chamber of commerce will be separated by shareholders." Jian Wang Haichao looked slightly upset, and slowly Added: "This is for your father."

Wang Haichao rubbed his forehead, the complaints he had had completely subsided after this sentence.That's right, if my father was still alive, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would beat himself up when he saw that the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce he founded was managed by him like this...

Xilingchen put away his folding fan, as if nothing happened before, and continued calmly: "Brother Hai Chao, senior Wang Dongliu told me to take over the chamber of commerce from today onwards. If you are willing to stay, I will appoint you as the vice president." If you don't want to, I will let you be free and unrestrained in the world. Then, what is your answer?"

In fact, Wang Dongliu also gave his son the opportunity to choose his successor, but Xi Lingchen kept it a secret.

He has already seen that Wang Haichao is too indecisive. People like him will always value favors more than benefits. He is only suitable for managing those loyal old servants. long.If he was allowed to hold the real power, he would definitely bind his hands and feet everywhere in his future actions.

So, you choose the road of carefree.Xi Lingchen thought to himself, for the sake of senior Wang Dongliu, I will protect your mother and son from worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Wang Mu also looked at her son nervously.She knew how much Hai Chao yearned for that vast world. If he was forced to do so before, now he can finally freely choose his future life——

"I'll stay!" However, Wang Haichao just meditated for a moment, and said these four words loudly.Xilingchen's complexion also sank slightly imperceptibly.

"The way of cultivation is to practice and train your mind, but you can't only train your mind by going outside. Now that the chamber of commerce is in vain, I can't leave it and go away, and I can't let you clean up this one by yourself. It’s a mess. My dream can wait, but the Chamber of Commerce can’t, brother Xiling, I’m willing to work hard with you!”

Xi Lingchen looked at him indifferently, the slight waves were suppressed in his eyes again, and he nodded calmly.And Wang Haichao was obviously very excited: "Next, I will arrange a room for you first, so you can take a good rest. After you have recovered enough energy, let's go to the chamber of commerce together..."

"Take me to the Chamber of Commerce now." Xi Lingchen interrupted him.Turning around slowly, looking into the distance, an unspeakable enthusiasm appeared on his face.

"I can't wait to see... where I'm going to be in the future!"

……

Half an hour later, in the luxurious hall of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, all the presidents had arrived.Everyone was sizing up the stern young man who was in the main position with incredulous eyes, who was acting like an emperor.

"The iron scroll of the Danshu is in my hand, and I am the new president of the two lake chambers of commerce!" Xi Lingchen rested his left arm on the armrest of the seat, held up the iron scroll of the Danshu, and displayed it around the field.That noble arrogance, as if what he is holding in his hand now is the jade seal of the dynasty.

All the guild leaders looked at each other in blank dismay. Before, they were used to Wang Haichao's weakness and bullying, and they were also used to gradually turning the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce into their voice.Now that such a domineering, "anti-customer" young man suddenly appeared, it really made them a little confused.

After a while, President Cao stood up first, and said with a dry smile, "Brother Xiling, don't rush to pretend to be the president. I think this matter is very suspicious."

Seeing the other presidents winking at him one after another, President Cao smiled wryly, quickly organized his words, and said bravely: "The president has been in prison for so long, and the whereabouts of this token has been unknown. Why did it suddenly appear now?" You said it was entrusted by the president... If you want me to say, it must be nephew Hai Chao, in order to keep the seat of the young boss, you just found a helper outside, under the guise of the president, right?"

At the end of the sentence, he turned around and asked Wang Haichao sternly.Obviously, compared to Xilingchen, this weak young boss is easier to deal with.In the end, his momentum climbed up again.

Another president also said at this time: "Yes, for Nephew Hai Chao's sake, if you want to stay here to work and earn a living, that's no problem, but if you want to be the president... you It’s better to be an apprentice for ten years or 20 years honestly, and when we old guys should retire, it’s not too late for you to succeed.”

Asking harshly like this, or speaking earnestly, Wang Haichao has also experienced it before.Under the joint camp of all the guild leaders, he couldn't tell whether he was justified, so he could only be forced to keep retreating.At this time, seeing everyone repeating the old tricks again, they couldn't help looking at Xilingchen nervously.

The other party was brought by himself, and he couldn't just watch the other party suffer all kinds of troubles.He wanted to stand up and say a few words, but how to refute the presidents was something he hadn't been able to do for so many years, and now he was in a hurry, so he couldn't say anything.

All the presidents secretly smiled when they saw Wang Haichao's signature "submissive" expression again.But then, a small cold snort resounded in the hall, and Xi Lingchen, who was sitting on the main seat, slowly raised his head, with that defiant smile still on his face.

"Heh, ten years, twenty years, how many decades and twenty years can a person live? I didn't come here to be an apprentice."

When President Cao saw his looking down, he felt angry, and said with a sneer, "The young man is not young, but his tone is not small. Even if you have a small reputation as a 'Master Ye', you can only It's just a small fight. Do you have any management experience in such a big company? When the time comes, the entire chamber of commerce will fall into your hands, and let us all follow you to drink the northwest wind?"

"You... don't you even believe my father's eyes?" Wang Haichao finally choked out a sentence with his face flushed.But judging from the reactions of the presidents, no one took his opinion to heart at all.Grasping the reason of the other party's youth and ignorance, everyone chattered, and the more they talked, the more vigorous they became. A large wave of voices merged into a wave of unilateral attacks.

"Heh..." Under this one-sided questioning, Xi Lingchen on the main seat was cold, waved his hand casually, slowly sat up straight, and showed a gentle smile towards everyone.

"I think there is some truth to what the presidents said."
