Chapter 36 Details
"...It's okay, I'm wrong. You two keep eating, I'll add meat to you." Lu En sat down, but after thinking about it, he stood up again and nodded slightly to the old man.
"Sorry, I was impulsive this time. The United Chamber of Commerce is more reasonable than I thought. I will carefully consider my relationship with the Hall of Glow."
"If this can be done, it would be the best. Boss, what do you think?" The old man stroked his beard. He was a little surprised by Lu En's reaction and asked for advice from the cook next to him.
The two little guys were confused, as if something had happened when they didn't know?
Lu En's mind began to turn.
Let’s analyze the current situation. First of all, I was deceived by Yulashire. Nana and Bai were actually just here to have a meal, and then accidentally bumped into the boss’s wife in the big market.
When he was approaching here immediately, he had already learned about the boss's wife's information from Yulashire.
This is a very powerful person, but this is actually nonsense. In a big market where people are mixed, it is not that easy to make a name for themselves.
She was a widow, her former husband was one of the four decision makers of the United Chamber of Commerce and the owner of the big market, with a generous property, a wood merchant and architect, but in a violent conflict with the city hall due to tax reasons, her husband died in an unexpected stone.
Yulashire did not answer positively whether it was an accident, but Lu En probably thought it was not. After all, it was possible to pass through a bunch of professional guards by relying on luck, and to hit people with a headshot. That was a coincidence.
After her husband died, the boss took over her husband's career, including the stonemason association, the real estate in the large market, and the wood business. After that, she launched a general strike against the city's construction industry, almost paralyzing the building materials market in half of the city. After all, wood and stone are necessary for construction. She asked the city hall to fire the other party immediately, otherwise the stonemason association would not continue to serve the city hall.
The sudden strike caught the Hall of Glow off guard. They did not have so many resources and people to eat the building materials market in the entire city. So Hall of Glow urgently mobilized a batch of building materials from other places and transported them to prepare to completely eat this market, so that the other party would pay the price for this wrong strike.
The Hall of Glow judged that the death of her husband made the woman lose her mind, but just when the Hall of Glow spent its energy to mobilize the building materials-
Everything was ready for the Hall of Glow, but the Association of Masons suddenly announced a settlement with the Town Hall and quickly resolved the affairs and materials accumulated by the previous strike at a discounted price.
When the building materials mobilized by the Hall of Glow were transported to the local area, the price had already dropped sharply and it was completely lost. With its high costs, there was almost no sales for normal sales.
In the end, it was forced to be because the wood was easy to rot and the stone would grow moss if stored for too long. In order not to suffer serious losses, it could only be sold to the stonemason association at a discount, because the channels and customers of the stonemason association are their foundation. Even if the Hall of Glow has products, it is quite difficult to sell to the customers of the stonemason association at such a price, unless you are willing to discount more, but such losses are unacceptable to the Hall of Glow.
The end of this open and secret struggle was of course the boss's wife used her husband's death as bait, and at the same time deceived the Glow Hall and the City Hall, causing the Glow Hall to bear considerable losses. She also mobilized a batch of building materials from other places and sent them to the mouth of the Stonemasters Association. The City Hall finally saw the potential and ability of the Stonemasters Association and introduced a tax reduction policy.
It can be said that it was a great victory for the boss of the big market.
With this deed alone, Lu En knew that this person should never be despised. She could even use her husband's death to write, and she did not show any resistance. She was very cautious in the layout and seized the right time.
What a widow who makes people dare not knock on the door at night.
Faced with Lu En's apology, the old man opened his mouth and smiled, then looked at the cook next to him: "Boss, what do you think?"
Lu En turned to look at the cook, so coincidental? Nana and Bai casually found a tavern for dinner, and then met the famous big market owner's wife?
He always felt that it was unlikely, but now that things have come to this, let's see what to say first.
The "protagonist" in front of her was not obvious at all. On the contrary, she looked very pretty and exuded a kindness between her eyebrows and eyes. Her brown hair and simple dress of a cook were not the kind that Lu En imagined.
He thought the owner of the big market was a beautiful lady wearing a gorgeous long dress and a veil, but he didn't expect that she was so approachable.
The cook poked his face with one finger, his face a little awkward, and said to Lu En: "I was deceived by Yulashire, well...why? Although there may be something wrong, you won't hit someone when you come, right?"
After saying this, she immediately waved her hand to herself: "Oh, how is it possible? You look like you are also a reasonable person..."
"Ali knocked him out and was on the street." The old man interrupted.
The boss's smile froze.
"Just rely on him?" She pointed at Lu En and widened her eyes.
Lu En spread his hands: "Madam, it's rude to say this... However, I did take action here in self-defense. Will it be difficult to deal with it? There will be different voices in the United Chamber of Commerce?" Lu En asked cautiously.
Although Nana and Bai arrived here, although they didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that their master had already started to talk to the people here. The two of them secretly ran outside with the stew pot and waited.
"Although I don't know your origin, we have heard of your recent actions in the city. Yulashire has not concealed your affairs. On the contrary, she hyped that they had welcomed a young man with dragon blood. To be honest, you are the focus of many forces in Larant, but I did not take the initiative to contact you. This time our meeting can be said to be Yulashire's direct plan. I hope you can understand this." The boss sat down, wiped his hands with the apron in front of him, and at the same time pondered his words.
Lu En frowned, he understood the other party's implication.
The United Chamber of Commerce was not a harmonious place. Yulashir lured himself over and then created a conflict between himself and the United Chamber of Commerce.
But at the same time, the boss's wife and the old man in front of her knew the whole story, and there were different voices in the United Chamber of Commerce. They came directly to attack him, a stranger, and outsiders who had close ties with Yulashir would definitely make different decisions and reactions.
At that time, the boss's wife would either have a dispute with them and try to convince different voices within the United Chamber of Commerce, but the consequence would be the brief internal discussion or even struggle of the United Chamber of Commerce.
Or the boss’s wife directly gave in order to unite and chose to stand with those voices and squeeze Lu En out.
No matter which consequence, it is something that Yulashir likes. The first is that Lu En can be recognized by the United Chamber of Commerce, but it also slightly opened up the internal differences within the United Chamber of Commerce. Who knows what else to do?
The second type is that Lu En will completely turn to the Hall of Glow. This cannot be stopped by personal will. Even if Lu En hates it, it can only be done because it is driven by interests.
A small thing can be used by the other party to this extent.
It's so scary... He couldn't help but sigh.
