The Fourth Financial Crisis

Talisman seals are an out-and-out luxury product for cultivation. Even the talisman seals in the Qi refining stage often cost thousands of spiritual stone coins. If they are used in foreign battlefields, the price of talisman seals will increase tenfold.

Even the worst kind of kendo talismans and seals in the foundation-building stage are worth at least tens of thousands of spiritual stone coins.

Not only that, the shelf life of the spiritual power stored in the talisman seals is not long. Most of the spiritual power stored in the talisman seals will gradually begin to lose after about ten days.

Therefore, talismans are like low-temperature dairy products on the earth. Storage and transportation are very difficult. Most of them are made on-site when the situation arises. It is difficult to be traded on a large scale like magic weapons and spiritual materials.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Lu attended an Immortal Fate Conference, Li Qingning would prepare this kind of treasure body protection for him!

Compared with Chen Ping's exclamation, Su Yuanfeng was a little more thoughtful.

Just like Zhu Ziming has an undercover agent in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, as the well-deserved leading company in Haiya City, also has an undercover agent in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

According to the information obtained by Su Yuanfeng from the undercover, this man named Yang would run into Li Qingning's private office every once in a while to hang out, and the two of them would often stay together for the entire day.

Now it seems that this situation is very suspicious!

Otherwise, how could Li Qingning be so kind to him?

Thinking he had figured out the joints, Su Yuanfeng couldn't help but secretly take a look at Yang Lu's figure and appearance again.

As the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, Su Yuanfeng also had the idea of ​​marrying Li Qingning. However, among the young talents from the Haiya sect he sent out on a blind date, none of them could catch Li Qingning's eyes.

Everyone said that Li Qingning had a very high vision, an arrogant personality, and was difficult to get along with others. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Li Qingning had a unique taste and actually liked this kind of young pretty boy with a slightly bookish air.

As the old saying goes:

Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you fight without danger.

It seems that I still did not research deeply enough and failed to prescribe the right medicine, which caused the previous marriage plans to fail miserably.

After finally getting rid of these random thoughts, Su Yuanfeng finally talked about the main purpose of this visit.

In the beast disaster in Tianshu City that had just subsided, Su Yuanfeng's life might indeed have been in danger if it hadn't been for Yang Lu's enhanced foundation-building light blade.

Although he, as the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, does not have other hidden life-saving trump cards, cultivators have always been on the line of life and death in battles. Even if there is only a 1% chance of death, if he happens to catch up with him, it is equivalent to 100%. Loss.

This is just like ordinary people who have a high probability of not dying from COVID-19, but no one will refuse to get vaccinated because of this fact.

Even Su Yuanfeng himself didn't think that his hidden treasure card could 100% guarantee his escape from the siege.

Cultivators in Kyushu pay great attention to their own life safety, and there are very few reckless people who don't take their own lives seriously. Therefore, Su Yuanfeng is truly grateful from the bottom of his heart for Yang Lu's help.

However, he chose to come to the door in person to thank him, not only to give Yang Lu face, but also to silence Yang Lu.

Su Yuanfeng is not a fool. As a senior executive of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu is willing to take the initiative to save him. It is definitely not because Yang Lu likes to help others by nature, or because he is handsome, but because he, Su Yuanfeng, is the leader of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. , and one of the most powerful bosses in the entire Haiya City.

As the business leader of Haiya City, Su Yuanfeng has a clear understanding of the difficulties faced by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Although Su Yuanfeng admired the various business skills displayed by Yang Lu, he was still not optimistic about the future prospects of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

The overseas trade business of Haiya City is only so big in total. The Qingning Chamber of Commerce has strongly intervened in Haiya City's commercial territory with the attitude of a fierce dragon crossing the river. Almost all of the trade shares obtained are obtained from other established chambers of commerce. Robbed.

But the big chambers of commerce that can make a living in Haiya City have the support of various cultivation forces, and no one is a fuel-efficient one.

If Li Qingyang were still alive, he could still effectively intimidate Xiao Xiao.

But after Li Qingyang passes away, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will not only face counterattacks from vested interest groups, but even Li Qingning's own superb appearance and spiritual qualifications may become the object of covetousness by big bosses from all parties, attracting endless temptations. trouble.

Therefore, Yang Lu will definitely try his best to win over allies for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce while Li Qingyang is still around.

Su Yuanfeng saw very clearly that after Yang Lu helped him, he would definitely take the opportunity to win over himself, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, in order to further deepen the cooperation between the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and the Haiya Clan.

However, this is not the result Su Yuanfeng wants to see.

The Qingning Chamber of Commerce needs the support of the Haiya Clan, but the Haiya Clan does not need the help of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Regarding Han Xinhe's reckless behavior of actively supporting the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, both Su Yuanfeng and Jiang Hua'an made it clear that they did not approve, and he himself did not agree with it. I hope that I will be coerced by Yang Lu with favors.

Therefore, Su Yuanfeng decided to take the initiative to visit.

What he conveyed by doing so was also very clear:

I, a dignified boss of Haiya City who is half a step into the realm of golden elixir, have already personally visited you to thank you, a monk in the early stage of Qi refining. Please don’t push me further!

After the two parties exchanged polite greetings, Su Yuanfeng directly offered his price: "Consultant Yang, I would like to express my gratitude to you for helping me break out of the siege this time. If you want to make any demands on me, as long as it is within your own ability, I can help with any matter, but I am the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce after all, so forgive me for putting the interests of the Haiya Department first!"

Hearing the conditions offered by Su Yuanfeng, even Yang Lu couldn't help but exclaimed.

In fact, with Su Yuanfeng's status, even if he pretended that he had not been rescued by Yang Lu, there was nothing Yang Lu could do to him. Despite this, he still chose to come to thank him and take the initiative to offer Yang Lu conditions for repayment. With such popularity, he is worthy of being a big shot who has been in charge of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce for decades!

It's just that the shopping mall is like a battlefield. Although Yang Lu admires Su Yuanfeng's character, when it's time to set a trap for the other party, Yang Lu will not be soft at all, so he goes along with the flow and says: "To be honest, I do have something to ask of you!"

"Consultant Yang is so rude!" Hearing that Yang Lu started to make requests without hesitation, Su Yuanfeng was slightly surprised, "Let me state in advance that I can only help in my own name and will never change Hainan because of your request. The position of the Ya Chamber of Commerce.”

Yang Lu said firmly: "This matter will never embarrass President Su!"

Su Yuanfeng was a little curious now, so he nodded slightly and motioned for Yang Lu to continue.

After receiving the other party's permission, Yang Lu spoke eloquently: "President Su, I am currently in charge of commercial corruption cases within the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Among them, the corruption case with the largest amount of money is the corruption case at Luanshicheng Xuantie Mine. . Now the corruption case has come to light, but the main person involved, the mine manager Ji Sihan, fled with the money, and even tried to hire Tingheyuge killers to deliberately take revenge on the eldest lady..."

Su Yuanfeng said a little noncommittally: "That assassination case is indeed of a bad nature. However, City Lord Jiang has made a statement on behalf of the Haiya faction, and we, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, can't do anything!"

Yang Lu paused for a moment, and then said in a decisive tone: "We now have reliable evidence. Manager Ji is trying to abscond overseas through the Haiya system, and the channel he found is Lu Anping's Bai Gloves—Congratulations to the Chamber of Commerce!”

When Su Yuanfeng heard this, his eyes froze.

The largest partner of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce in the Haiya Department is the Haiya Chamber of Commerce that he is responsible for managing. This is almost an open secret in Haiya City. Even when the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to force the Qingning Chamber of Commerce into a palace, it was still based on the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. The financial director acted as a pioneer.

This is not to say that the personal relationship between Su Yuanfeng and the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is very good, but that Duzhitang and the Haiya Clan are still open allies. Su Yuanfeng has long advocated strengthening cooperation with Duzhitang, and the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce As Lu Anping's white glove, Haiya Chamber of Commerce must give them face.

In Su Yuanfeng's view, Yang Lu's request was not excessive.

Currently, the number one embezzler of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is absconding overseas through the channels of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Even if Su Yuanfeng does not owe Yang Lu any favors, this request for help in catching the fugitive is very reasonable.

Su Yuanfeng thought about it and felt that this matter was just a normal cooperation between the two chambers of commerce and would not involve the two parties too deeply.

So he replied readily: "If this person really fled overseas through the channels of our Haiya Chamber of Commerce, I can personally investigate the matter. So is this all what Consultant Yang wants?"

"I feel sorry for bothering President Su for this trivial matter!" After being polite, Yang Lu suddenly changed the topic and reminded him casually, "According to the information we have, in order to help Ji Sihan abscond overseas, The Zhujia Chamber of Commerce will definitely try to manipulate the ocean-going fleet that has recently entered and exited Haiya Port, and I suggest that Chairman Su still focus his investigation on this aspect."

Su Yuanfeng had long heard about the grievances between the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. It is not unusual for fugitives from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to seek help from the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce if they want to flee overseas.

Seeing that Yang Lu was well-measured and had no idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation, Su Yuanfeng didn't think too much and said with satisfaction: "Now that Consultant Yang has grasped some clues, I will pay special attention to the recent small actions of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. As long as this person logs in I will definitely be able to catch him on the merchant ship of our Haiya Chamber of Commerce."

Done!

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Yang Lu's mouth.

In fact, Yang Lu was not sure whether Ji Sihan had fled overseas through the channels of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. The so-called "we have obtained reliable evidence" was just bullshit.

But Yang Lu was very sure that the batch of spiritual energy mines that exploded in Tianshu City must have been smuggled in with the help of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. Zhu Ziming confessed this information to "Mr. He" personally, and even paid 40,000 spirit energy for it. There is absolutely no way the price of the stone coins could be wrong.

Only a few people including Yang Lu, Zhu Ziming, and Liu Qi knew about the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's smuggling of spiritual energy mines. If Yang Lu accused the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce of smuggling prohibited items, it would be easy to expose himself as "Mr. He" fact.

If Liu Hanxing learns about this matter, his small body will not be able to withstand the retaliation of the golden elixir stage monk.

So Yang Lu decided to build a plank road openly and secretly visit Chencang!

On the surface, he just made a reasonable request for Su Yuanfeng to help arrest the corrupt criminals, but in fact, he deliberately induced Su Yuanfeng to uncover Zhu Ziming's smuggling evidence.

Su Yuanfeng never imagined that his ally Lu Anping's White Gloves had secretly defected to Liu Hanxing!

Just like Yang Lu wants to intervene in the affairs of the Haiya Clan, he must go through Han Fulai, an ally of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce within the Haiya Clan. Zhu Ziming must also go through the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce within the Haiya Clan if he wants to smuggle prohibited items. one's business Patner.

If Su Yuanfeng really wanted to thoroughly investigate the small moves of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, these partners would definitely betray Zhu Ziming, just like Han Fulai would never betray his uncle and big backer Han Xinhe because of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, Yang Lu can reveal the truth about Zhu Ziming's betrayal of Lu Anping and the Haiya Clan without exposing himself.

The Zhujia Chamber of Commerce dared to backstab the two super powers Duzhitang and Haiya Chamber of Commerce at the same time. As long as this kind of thing is exposed, the bleak future of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce can be imagined.

If Liu Hanxing is willing to come forward as a guarantee in person, the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce may still be able to survive. If Liu Hanxing plans to turn his back on the people, the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly suffer disaster, and may even be wiped out.

As for whether he could catch Ji Sihan, it was not that important to Yang Lu.

It was a surprise to catch him. Even if he was not caught in the end and found out that this person had fled overseas through other channels, Yang Lu had eliminated a wrong option. He didn't believe that the stolen money of hundreds of thousands of spiritual stone coins was worth it anyway. Can be easily moved away.

Since Su Yuanfeng did not see Yang Lu's true intention of secretly plotting against Chen Cang, the meeting between the two parties could be said to be a feast for both the guest and the host.

After complimenting each other, Su Yuanfeng planned to say goodbye and leave. However, before leaving, Su Yuanfeng suddenly turned around and said to Yang Lu: "Consultant Yang is talented, and Su has heard about what he has done in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. However, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is now in decline, and it cannot be reversed by human power. , you still need to make plans in advance!"

"What does President Su mean?"

What Yang Lu didn't expect was that Su Yuanfeng directly extended an olive branch to him: "You are a person of real ability. If you want to find another job in the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, I will definitely give my full support. Jiang Hua'an Shouyuan has nothing left. Duo, as long as Elder Han and I support him, it won’t be difficult for Consultant Yang to become the vice president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce..."

Yang Lu didn't take Su Yuanfeng's invitation seriously.

I work for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and I can also get a proud and beautiful lady. Can your Haiya Chamber of Commerce do that?

Not to mention the trump card he prepared for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Su Yuanfeng didn't know at all. Chairman Su also underestimated Li Qingyang, the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Although Li Qingyang has not long left, he is definitely not a sick cat. .

The last time Li Qingning returned to the headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect, Li Qingyang did not continue to persuade her to give up the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Yang Lu didn't know whether this was because Li Qingyang was optimistic about him, or because he knew that Li Qingning had the temper of a donkey. However, since Li Qingyang has acquiesced in Li Qingning's continued operation of the chamber of commerce, with how much he dotes on his great-granddaughter, he will definitely do it for Li Qingning. Prepare a way out, there is absolutely no way you can just let it go.

Although he didn't take it seriously, Yang Lu still handed over his hand and said politely: "Thank you, President Su, for your kindness. I, Yang Lu, am by no means an ungrateful person. If the Qingning Chamber of Commerce cannot do anything about it, I will definitely go to the Haiya Chamber of Commerce to ask for a position." .”

Su Yuanfeng laughed loudly and said: "Okay! The Haiya Chamber of Commerce is busy with business, so I will take my leave now. We will meet again in Haiya City when we have the opportunity in the future!"
