survival in the wilderness

Lin Yan looked at the three of them, "At this time, it's useless to evade each other. You should be clear about the management methods of civil servants."

Liu Feng knew he couldn't run away this time, so he simply said, "I have no objection."

Fang Chuchu also said: "I am willing to be punished."

Hu Juan was very unwilling and kept silent.

Lin Yan snorted, "Why are you still not convinced? You guys suspend all work and wait for the results of the investigation. Don't worry, I will investigate in person, and I will never wrong anyone."

Hu Juan's eyes widened. She never expected that Lin Yan would still be so carefree. "No, shouldn't the court investigate?"

"Hehe, why can't I, the chairman, intervene?"

"I-I didn't mean that."

Back in Bai Chen's office, Lin Yan said directly: "You are busy with your work, I will handle this matter. It happens that I am also an idler, so I help you deal with these people."

Bai Chen: "I'm with you. Today, I realized that I'm not worthy to be the lord of this city. I still have a lot to learn."

"Okay, if you want to go, go together. Don't blame yourself, no one is perfect. You took the initiative to come here to do research, and there was no suitable person to be the city lord, so I let you do it by the way. However, I still want to remind you, you As the city lord, you should fulfill your responsibilities. With your ability, as long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely do well."

Bai Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself in the future and shoulder my responsibilities."

She knew in her heart that Nanhai Port City had a lot to do with it, and Lin Yan and the others entrusted them with the heavy responsibility when no one was more assured.But she failed to do a good job, did not perform the duties of the city lord, and put more thoughts on research.Fortunately, Lin Yan discovered the problem in time, and it is not too late to reverse it.

In just one day, the two of them found out the background of the treasure store.Sun City Shen family, a very business-minded family.

The family history of the Shen family is clear at a glance. When everyone is busy opening up wasteland and farming, they are active and act as intermediary contacts to facilitate transactions.

With the development of Sun City, the Shen family grew accordingly.Starting from the smallest grocery store, it has gradually expanded to all walks of life.

Today, it is already a giant crocodile in the commercial territory of the Sun Alliance. It is as famous as the Yu family, Mu family, Shi family, Hong family, and Gao family, and occupies an important industrial pillar.

The Shen family's most influential is the shops that have opened all over the alliance. They have a complete range of goods and are very popular among people.

The Treasure Shop in Nanhai Port City is just an inconspicuous shop of the Shen family. If Lin Yan hadn't visited it in person, it would be regarded as an ordinary shop.

Bai Chen looked at Lin Yan: "You have been in Sun City for the past few years, how much do you know about the Shen family's property?" She has been busy with research, so she can't take this into consideration.

Lin Yan thought for a while and said: "I heard that the Shen family is headed by Shen Ruyun. Shen Ruyun was the head of the family five years ago. Since she took over, the Shen family's business has expanded rapidly. It mainly deals in wholesale and retail industries. The main business is Grain, agricultural tools, daily necessities, etc. One-third of Sun City’s annual grain production will fall on Shen’s family.”

"One-third?" Bai Chen exclaimed, "That's already a monopoly. Except for the alliance's official management, the Shen family accounts for more than half."

"Exactly. The reason why I pay attention to this is also because of the food problem. You also know that every year the wasteland is opened up, the land area continues to increase, the grain production doubles, and the surplus is increasing. The grain storage will be adjusted according to the annual production. The remaining The grain is regulated spontaneously by the market, which is why the Shen family has risen."

Bai Chen: "Shen Ruyun's ambition is not small. Food is the most important thing. The Arbitration Court will pay attention to it. The Shen family didn't dare to play tricks, so they put their minds on other things."

"There is a possibility. The South Sea Port City has just started, and the Shen family has already taken action one step ahead. The Shen family's strength can be seen by discovering rare treasures. Maybe the Shen family also wants to sell the treasures to Tianduan Mountain. I just couldn’t do it in time.”

Lin Yan's deduction is not unreasonable, Bai Chen is more inclined that the Shen family is ready and waiting for the opportunity.

"Let's go to the treasure store and check it out for ourselves."

Lin Yan smiled: "That's what I mean. No matter what the Shen family plans, I'm afraid it won't come true. Take this opportunity to check the situation of other shops, so don't be kept in the dark. Well, I can also contribute to the growth of the alliance."

Bai Chen was puzzled, "What do you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's find out the details first."

The two entered the treasure store in a low-key manner, but they were recognized by the sharp-eyed store manager. It was also the bad timing of their entry, just in time for the store manager Shen Yongrong to check the situation in the lobby.

Others didn't know Lin Yan, but Shen Yongrong had seen her before and recognized her immediately.

He had already received news a few days ago that Lin Yan went to Nanhai Port City in person, and was looking for an opportunity to visit, but he didn't expect her to appear just like that.

Shen Yongrong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests come to the shop, please come in quickly."

Bai Chen raised his eyebrows, "You know us?"

"You two have a high status, and everyone in Sun City knows it. Little Shen Yongrong, the manager of the shop, is really honored to receive you two. Please sit down quickly, and I will serve good tea."

"There's no need for good tea, let's just take a look." Lin Yan interrupted with a smile, pointing to the shelf on the side, "The things on the shelf are pleasing to the eye, so they must be very valuable."

Shen Yongrong smiled and said: "It's a great honor to be able to see something worthless. It's a coral tree fished out of the sea. I'll take it down. How about the two of you go to the private room to see it? There are too many people in the store. , I can't afford to offend a distinguished guest."

"No, let's take a look here. Manager Shen, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful thing. Please tell me in detail. How much are these prices? So that I can have a clear idea in case I buy it. I'm sorry, isn't it embarrassing."

"You're kidding, there's nothing you can't afford. It's not worth the price if you like it."

Bai Chen: "Are you going to give it away for nothing?"

Shen Yongrong's smiling face froze, and he quickly recovered: "Where is it, how could I harm you."

"It's the best. The administrative measures for civil servants clearly stipulate that the punishment for accepting bribes will be aggravated."

Bai Chen's straightforwardness made Shen Yongrong feel bad. These two great Buddhas came prepared.For some reason, he secretly looked at Lin Yan, but couldn't see anything.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "Shop Manager Shen quickly show us these precious treasures, and it will also open our eyes. I heard that there are countless rare treasures in the treasure store. Bai Chen and I, two bumpkins who have no experience, came here specially View."

The two listened attentively to Shen Yongrong's explanation, Lin Yan exclaimed from time to time, but Bai Chen's expression remained unchanged.

It made Shen Yongrong even more confused. Seeing Lin Yan's appearance, he really came to gain insight.But with Bai Chen like this, it always makes people feel chills down the spine.

He clearly saw that when he made an offer, Bai Chen's eyes were colder.
