The Fourth Financial Crisis

Hearing Ji Sihan's severe accusation, He Mingyuan's pupils subconsciously shrank slightly.

He considered that he had done this matter quite secretly. Logically speaking, the news should not leak out easily. Furthermore, when he thought about the previous arrests of Ji Sihan, the other party could respond in advance in a targeted manner every time. Now it seems that this person should have been arrested early. He placed a spy next to him, and this spy is still lurking around him without being exposed.

Otherwise, he would never be able to find out about such a thing!

If Ji Sihan hadn't suddenly revealed the shocking news today, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a hidden danger around him...

Thinking of this, He Mingyuan broke into a cold sweat on his back.

Before He Mingyuan could explain, Yang Lu took the initiative and asked: "Old He, now it's your turn to explain!"

Yang Lu's question suddenly woke up He Mingyuan from his deep thoughts. He blushed and said: "Consultant Yang, this matter is indeed true, but the truth is not as arranged by Ji Sihan! These Qingning Chamber of Commerce of mine All internal materials are sent to my daughter!”

He Mingyuan's daughter is indeed a disciple of the Haiya Sect.

This girl participated in the same Immortal Ascension Conference as Yang Lu and Murong, but she only showed inferior spiritual root qualifications. Even so, He Mingyuan often mentioned his daughter to others, obviously treating her as his own. The pride of the family, I heard that she had recently become the resident immortal master of a mortal settlement in the suburbs of Haiya City.

So Yang Lu asked with great interest: "Your daughter joins the Haiya Sect, and it only takes one year! If she doesn't act as her own resident immortal master, why is she looking at the internal materials of our Qingning Chamber of Commerce?"

He Mingyuan immediately knelt down and said: "It is indeed my dereliction of duty that I did not report this matter as soon as possible, but I did this for the sake of our Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Consultant Yang and the eldest lady are both cultivators, and they will live as long as heaven in the future. , but I, He Mingyuan, am 42 years old this year, and I can only serve the Qingning Chamber of Commerce for another 30 years at most. Whenever I think that after a hundred years, I will not be able to continue to serve Consultant Yang and the eldest lady, or our Qingning Chamber of Commerce, I will Not enough to eat, not enough sleep—"

This was not the first time that everyone had seen He Mingyuan's artificial acting skills. Yang Lu quickly made a stop gesture: "Come on, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Seeing that his sensational methods were useless, He Mingyuan had no choice but to put away his performance: "Well... you also know that my daughter is a cultivator with inferior spiritual root qualifications. It is not a problem to have a hundred years of life in the future. You also gave special instructions. However, I was asked to actively reserve young talents for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, so I want to train my daughter to be a future successor!"

Yang Lu said noncommittally: "I did say that I want you to help cultivate young talents. Our Qingning Chamber of Commerce has always promoted talents and never avoided relatives. You can just ask her to join the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. It's not like our Qingning Chamber of Commerce can't afford her." The salary is enough to support ten or eight cultivators in the Qi refining stage. Do you still lack the money of the Haiya Sect?"

Before He Mingyuan could answer this time, Li Qingning rushed to answer: "Junior Brother Yang, do you think that all cultivation sects are as free and undisciplined as our Golden Blade Sect management disciples? Ordinary Haiya Sect disciples, as long as they practice the Haiya Sect's unique mind Fa, if you don’t work for the sect for decades, how can the Haiya Sect let you go casually!"

Yang Lu was surprised and said: "Haiya Sect disciples still have this kind of obligation to the sect? I have never heard of it..."

Seeing Yang Lu's face full of humility and willingness to be taught, Li Qingning smiled proudly. She finally discovered that there were times when she knew much more than Yang Lu.

But this is not surprising.

Although Yang Lu has been in the world of Cultivation for more than a year, and he is actively collecting various information, compared to the natives of the Cultivation World and the children of the Cultivation Family, he does lack some dispensable common sense of life, such as Haiya. Yang Lu didn't pay any attention to the living conditions of the disciples at the grassroots level.

After all, when he first came to Haiya City, he hitched a ride with Miss Li and made friends with the leading figures in Haiya City like Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe. Ordinary disciples of the Haiya Sect would even treat him with respect when they saw him. Salute, information such as "What difficulties do the grassroots disciples of Haiya Sect have in daily life?" are completely meaningless to him.

Now it seems that the disciples of ordinary local sects do not have much freedom, and even have compulsory service obligations to the sect. The management system of Jindaomen is not only shortcomings. It can be said that it has advantages and disadvantages!

Yang Lu has already felt clearly the shortcomings of the Jindaomen management model:

Because the sect does not have its own base, the disciples of the Golden Knife Sect must rely on their own strength to earn spiritual stone coins and heavenly merits. Unlike other sect disciples, who can just lie down and share the heavenly merits brought by their sect's maintenance of local order. Although this part of merit is meager, it is considerable over time.

For example, some of the foundation-building monks of the Shanying Sect and the Haiya Sect, even if they just retreat and chant sutras every day and do nothing, will still be able to create a golden wheel of merit when they are about 150 years old. However, if the Golden Sword Sect monks do not No matter what good deeds you do, or if you don't have a part-time job like the Lingshi Reserve Bank, your merits from that heaven will not increase at all in your lifetime.

In addition, the Golden Knife Sect monks are scattered throughout Zhongzhou, and their cohesion is very poor. Unlike ordinary sects, which can drive and recruit mortals to fight and do things for them, they can basically only rely on themselves to fight alone. If the posture level is relatively poor, Disciple, it may be difficult to even support yourself.

Under normal circumstances, the salary paid to ordinary disciples in the Qi refining stage by Haiya Sect can be almost 1,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins per year, which is equivalent to 100 times that of a mortal newspaper boy in Haiya City. However, ordinary cultivation chambers of commerce that aim at profit often prefer to He hires 100 newsboys at a low price, but he is not willing to hire a Qi-refining cultivator at a high price to do things for him.

Because newsboys can exploit them at will, while hiring cultivators, they have much more worries. Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary cultivators to find stable and high-paying positions in society similar to those of Haiya Sect disciples.

Yang Lu usually complains about the lack of presence of his sect, and the disciples of the Golden Blade Sect are as pitiful as motherless children, but now it seems that the laissez-faire system of the Golden Sword Sect is not without its benefits.

Although the benefits provided by the Golden Blade Sect to the disciples of their own sect are extremely limited, and they can hardly help with anything other than providing training techniques and training guidance, the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect also have very few obligations to the sect.

According to Li Qingning's detailed introduction, Yang Lu learned that the basis of rule for a traditional cultivation sect like the Haiya Sect is the population of the area it manages. Without special permission from the top of the sect, low-level disciples with insufficient seniority must obey the general order of the sect. Arrangement, you can only choose your own job from the job list given by the sect, and you cannot choose your own career like the disciples of the Golden Knife Sect.

If you abandon the sect's tasks and work part-time without authorization, the sect will definitely impose heavy penalties, and even the law of heaven will not stop it. It seems that even the law of heaven believes that if you take benefits from the sect, you must have obligations to the sect, and both parties are considered equivalent. Exchange relationship.

Not only that, in order to prevent the disciples of the sect from taking off work to fish without authorization, the Haiya Sect has also thoughtfully prepared special clock-in fairy formations for the immortal masters stationed in various places. This clock-in fairy formation has no other functions and does not require the consumption of spiritual energy to maintain. It only requires stationing. The Immortal Suppression Master pours mana into it every hour to prove to the sect that he is still at work.

After so many years of improvement, the Haiya Sect has formed a strict management system to prevent its disciples from deserting.

Yang Lu has never been bound by these rules and regulations, and he doesn't know much about it. After hearing Li Qingning's explanation, he couldn't help but sigh. After so many years of survival of the fittest, the system of the cultivation sect is probably no less rigorous than that of modern enterprises on earth!

After Li Qingning introduced the daily life of ordinary Haiya disciples, He Mingyuan immediately defended himself: "I have the intention to train my daughter to learn the management of the Chamber of Commerce, but I am just a mere mortal, and I can't control the escape light. I can't leave the affairs of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce behind. I wanted to tutor her, so I wrote down my daily business affairs and experiences in the management of the Chamber of Commerce, and then asked the newsboy to send her a copy. If she succeeds in her studies in the future, she can also help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"

Yang Lu showed disbelief and said, "Is it really that simple?"

He Mingyuan nodded and said: "This matter is indeed not complicated, but I have never mentioned it to anyone. Ji Sihan might have secretly arranged an undercover agent beside me, otherwise he would never be able to find out about such a personal matter. Consultant Yang, this person dares to send people to infiltrate the headquarters of our Qingning Chamber of Commerce. We must guard against this wolfish ambition!"

Yang Lu didn't bother to criticize He Mingyuan, but narrowed his eyes and said, "Manager He, are you really that loyal to the Chamber of Commerce?"

Seeing the mockery in Yang Lu's tone, He Mingyuan's heart thumped, and he quickly added: "I... of course I have some other ideas! You should also know that my daughter only has inferior spiritual root qualifications. Under normal circumstances, there is no hope of building a foundation, and you can’t even reach the later stages of Qi refining, but Consultant Yang, you are so powerful, there must be a way!"

Yang Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "So you want me to support your daughter?"

He Mingyuan nodded heavily and said: "You are the kind of person who does not stick to trivial matters to achieve great things. As long as it is useful to your career, even people with long criminal records like me and Ji Sihan can be entrusted with important tasks. I believe that as long as she shows enough She has strong ability to do things. You don’t need me to ask, you will find a way to bring her to the foundation-building stage and work for you for another hundred years..."

Although He Mingyuan's words didn't sound very nice, they were many times more sincere than the previous flattery.

And He Mingyuan's vision is still very accurate.

Yang Lu has always been eclectic in employing people. No matter who you are, as long as you can be used by me.

Excellent chamber of commerce managers have always been the scarcest resource. If He Mingyuan was not just an ordinary mortal with no room for improvement in his lifespan, Yang Lu would definitely find a way to increase his lifespan, not for anything else but to let him give more to himself. Be a cow and a horse for a few years.

Even though He Mingyuan had no hope of improving his longevity, Yang Lu still made plans to use him until he could no longer walk.

If, as He Mingyuan said, he could train his daughter to be as good a manager as himself, Yang Lu would definitely not hesitate to support his subordinates to better serve his career.

Seeing that Yang Lu remained silent, He Mingyuan knelt down with a plop.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, He Mingyuan sincerely begged: "Consultant Yang, I, He Mingyuan, have only had such a daughter in my life. Please ask Consultant Yang and the eldest lady to make it happen!"

It's hard to say whether He Mingyuan has a conscience in other aspects, but he is indeed very conscientious towards his daughter.

After his rat warehouse behavior was discovered by the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce, he was considered dead in futures. Sooner or later, the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce would squeeze out the final use value and then dispose of it.

But even though he knew he would die, he still agreed to work as a spy for the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce. He didn't even try to escape from the island or Huoyun State like Ji Sihan did. Instead, he continued to risk his life and stayed in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's Luoxia City Branch to make money crazily. Finally, he left a huge deposit for his daughter in an anonymous account at Haiya Bank.

Li Qingning was born with a soft heart, so He Mingyuan's true expression of his feelings was extremely effective.

But before Li Qingning spoke, Yang Lu said first: "Lao He, if you have any concerns in the future, just tell me directly. There is no need to wait for us to force you to confess before you confess, which will make everyone look bad."

He Mingyuan did not raise his head, but honestly admitted his mistake and said: "Please ask Advisor Yang to punish me!"

Yang Lu waved his hand casually and said in a calm tone: "This is not a big deal! Otherwise, I will say hello to Han Fu and ask him to second your daughter to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. We can compensate the Haiya Clan. Double salary, if you can really train a qualified successor, I may not be able to consider the things you propose."

He Mingyuan said happily: "Consultant Yang, don't worry, with my personal guidance, He Mingyuan, even a pig can learn how to manage the Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely train an excellent steward for our Qingning Chamber of Commerce! In addition, compensation will be paid to the Haiya Department I don’t think the Chamber of Commerce will need to pay for the double salary, I can just pay it directly from my daughter’s anonymous Haiya Bank account!”

The annual income of an ordinary Haiya Sect disciple can reach up to 1,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins. If the compensation is double the maximum income, it will cost 40,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins in twenty years. This is not a small amount of money, even during the Qi Refining Period. The cultivators should also be jealous.

Although it was an open secret that He Mingyuan had a small treasury, this was the first time that he personally admitted it.

Yang Lu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Lao He, how much wealth did you save by defeating two chambers of commerce in a row?"

He Mingyuan introduced it like a treasure: "My first employer was the Luo Xing Chamber of Commerce under the Luoxia Sect. This chamber of commerce was specialized in the grain business. However, after six years of service, the chamber of commerce collapsed and I lost a total of 210,000 yuan. The benefits of spirit stone coins; my second employer was the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce. I worked for the Liu Family for eleven full years and gained a total of 480,000 spirit stone coins. After the Dong Chuang incident, the Liu Family took away 300,000 spirit stones. coins. Last year, I spent another 300,000 spirit stone coins to participate in the Yangjiang Port project of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Currently, I only have 90,000 spirit stone coins left in my account, which is enough to pay the compensation."

If Yang Lu remembers correctly, He Mingyuan also embezzled 140,000 spirit stone coins during the three years he worked at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. If all the stolen money is added up, he embezzled a total of 800,000 spirit stone coins in his twenty-year career. Thirty thousand spiritual stone coins, surpassing the 580,000 spiritual stone coins Ji Sihan had embezzled in his career.

From this point of view, He Mingyuan is indeed the well-deserved MVP of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in the field of corruption.
