A blow to the head

The old man forced himself to raise his energy and chased after him with all his strength. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Jin Ziming had no choice but to use the secret of wind and the power of wind and peng to the extreme.

While performing the "Wind Movement Technique" movement technique, and at the same time superimposing the Peng Bird Flying Technique, the distance was further increased.

The old man was furious and threw a few more pills into his mouth. Even if the Daoji was further damaged, the enemy would not be able to escape.

Under his vigorous pursuit, he actually pulled him as close as two hundred feet away.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of this old guy, Jin Ziming decided to give him another heavy blow.

He had already discovered that the other party's Yuan Shen realm was not as good as his own. Now he relied on taking drugs to generate some soul power and cooperated with Yuan Ying, so he dared to run so wildly.

When the old man was approaching fifty feet and was about to make a move, Jin Ziming's nine hundred soul knives that had been prepared for a long time were instantly released.

The opponent now has no extra soul power to build a protective shield. The soul knife flies in and immediately kills the little soul he just gathered.

In order to facilitate the command of the physical body, Yuanying had removed the treasure tripod, and was immediately stabbed by the flying knives in a hurry.

Yuanying tried his best to evolve spells in the consciousness space, but there were too many soul knives, and he was still stabbed dozens of times.

In the midst of grief and anger, Jin Ziming gathered most of his remaining soul power, turned it into a heavy hammer, and hit him hard on the head.

The old man's mind was in turmoil, and blood was gushing out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He had to forcefully support himself to avoid fainting immediately.

Once Jin Ziming saw that it worked, he stopped pestering him. After all, he was just a sparring partner and there was no need to fight him desperately.

He ran wildly and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

The old man could no longer pursue him, and could only let out a desperate howl from behind like a wild beast before it died.

Jin Ziming flew far away before returning to his original appearance, making a big circle and returning to Fengjing City, only to return to Leiming the next day.

He did not go directly to the branch, but returned to his residence and began to meditate and adjust his breath. It was not until Shenshi that he recovered most of his spirit, got up and walked into the courtyard.

Chen Haiyang had come back and was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea alone. When he saw him coming out, he stood up and said:

"Zi Ming, I've been waiting for you to come out of confinement. If you are in trouble, you have to go to the branch to see Boss Wang and Lao Xiao. They asked me to inform you."

"What's wrong?" Jin Ziming's heart skipped a beat.

"Something happened to Shi Yun. It was originally a closed market of Lingyun Sect, but this time it was breached by Qingyu Sect.

The project you went to quote for was taken over by the Qingyu Sect. After the news came back, the branch chief elder and the headquarters were very angry. You should hurry over and explain it clearly to them."

Jin Ziming was panic-stricken and hurried to the branch. Everyone he met after entering, including Miss Xu, looked at him sympathetically, and some even patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.

Walking to the area of ​​the Holy Sword Hall, Lao Xiao came up to him and asked anxiously:

"Brother, what's going on? You're quite smart. How come you can do this?"

"I don't know. They just asked me to make a plan and quote."

"Let's go to Lao Wang's place and let's figure out the situation first."

The two came to Hall Master Wang's room. Wang Weixue looked serious and asked him to tell him in detail what happened after arriving at Shiyun.

After listening, Wang and Xiao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They understood in their hearts that Jin Ziming did not have much responsibility.

"Zi Ming, we are clear. Don't worry, the main responsibility for losing the order cannot be placed on you.

But the impact of this incident is too great. Old Shen is still trying to figure out a way to make a comeback in Shiyun. You should go over and support him now to see if you can help."

"Okay, thank you two elders, I'll be there right away."

Jin Ziming rushed to Shiyun immediately. After arriving, he contacted Lao Shen with a sound transmission jade talisman. When he learned that he was stationed at Juxing Gate, he went straight there.

Lao Shen was waiting for him at the door and immediately took him to sit down at a nearby teahouse to introduce him to the latest situation.

"Junior Brother Jin, the situation is not good this time. I usually have a good relationship with Li Chenglong, the station boss of Juxing Sect, but when I learned that I had lost my order, I went to see him, but I always found no one.

One moment he said he was going to Lei Ming, and the next moment he said he was going to visit relatives. The second elder Wei Qin came out to see me, but he always yelled at me.

You say this is just a small mine, don’t take it too seriously, the Lingyun Sect family can’t finish all the business, and they have to leave something to eat for the Qingyu Sect.”

"Is it because the price was quoted too high?"

"I told Wei Qin that we can lower the price, as long as we can get this order back.

But he said that the price of Qingyu Gate is very good and we don’t need to make any concessions.

He also reminded us to continue to improve service quality, and I’m not even sure whether he was talking about the quality of mining or the quality of his personal service.”

"What are you going to do next?"

"I'm a little confused, what suggestions do you have?" Lao Shen was confused.

"Listening to what you said, I feel that the chance of a comeback is very small, so we have to do our best.

The most important thing now is Elder Li and Old Shen. Think of a way to see if you can see him and have a showdown with him.

Leave Wei Qin and the others to me, and I will try to do my best, or at least find out the inside story clearly."

"Okay, that's it. I know where Lao Li lives in Thunder City. I'm going to wait and see. I'll leave it to you."

The two of them worked separately. In the following days, Jin Ziming went out early and came back late every day. He walked around in the courtyard of Juxingmen and gradually became familiar with everyone.

After getting along with the elders and deacons, Wei Qin got drunk one night, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely:

"Xiao Jin, you are a nice person, but you can't get it back this time. We have reached an internal agreement to hand over this mine to Qingyumen.

There will always be business, there is no need to fight to the death on this one order."

"Elder Wei, you know that our party has very strict penalties for losing orders like this. I'm afraid both Old Shen and I will be miserable this time."

"Brother, I really can't help you."

In the next few days, Jin Ziming continued to work tirelessly and kept in contact with the people stationed at the Star Gathering Sect.

Everyone looked at his enthusiastic smiling face and did not feel embarrassed to treat him coldly. Finally, he figured out the causes and consequences of this project.

Three days later, Jin Ziming received a notice from the branch asking him to go back and report on his work.

As soon as he arrived at the branch, Sun Xia pulled him aside and whispered:

"For this loss of orders, the headquarters has stated that it must be severely punished. The head of the Foreign Affairs Department has already gone crazy and claimed that you must be fired.

Lao Wang disagreed and said that this matter would be an unforeseen disaster for you.

A newcomer who has just been here a few days has already made a plan and configuration. The price was set by someone from the Foreign Affairs Office. Why should you be allowed to top the tank?

The two had already had a quarrel in the branch this morning.

Hall Master Gao insisted that you insisted on quoting this price, but Lao Wang said it was pure nonsense.

‘He is a new kid who only listens to the old man’s orders in the regional market. How can he force the other party to quote?

If he can really force Lao Shen to quote this price, it only means that Lao Shen is not qualified, he is not smart, and will be persuaded by the newcomer's unreasonable suggestions;

At the same time, it also proves that Jin Ziming is a good material and has the ability to convince a market veteran when he first arrived.’

Finally, the Great Elder has spoken and asked you and Lao Shen to come back and report on your work. She will make a decision after listening. You must be careful, the risk has not been eliminated yet."

"Okay, I'll be careful, thank you!"

That evening, a project review meeting was held in the Grand Elder’s official room.

After Jin Ziming entered, he found that several people were already sitting inside, including Lao Wang, Hall Master Gao, Lao Xiao and Lao Shen.

There is also a pretty female cultivator, Li Jin, the assistant to the great elder, and the person in the middle is a middle-aged female cultivator named Teng Qianyun, who is the great elder of the Thunder City branch.

This was Jin Ziming's first time seeing the branch boss up close. She was short, a little thin, with bright eyes. She spoke very little, but she often hit the mark.

Lao Shen sat opposite Jin Ziming and nodded towards him.

"Hurry up and start." Li Jin said.

"Old Shen, please speak first. Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point." Hall Master Gao ordered.

"I feel very ashamed for losing the order this time. Now it seems that there is no way to recover it.

Yesterday, I finally met Elder Li, the boss of the Star-Gathering Sect's Yuncheng station in Thunder City. He told me the truth. The price offered by Qingyu Sect this time was very sincere.

They believe that it is not conducive to obtaining good prices and services in the long run if the Lingyun sect has been operating the mines for a long time, so they want to introduce another cooperative sect to form a competitive pattern."

"Tell me, what exactly is the problem?" Li Jin asked.

"The people at Qingyu Sect have done a good job of keeping things confidential this time. They don't come to Shiyun often. Their private relationship with Lao Li has yet to be confirmed. The main problem should be that we quoted a high price."

"What are you going to do next?" the great elder asked seriously.

"I can only start over from scratch, and I will improve my relationship with Lao Li."

"What about the other people in the Star Gathering Sect?" Lao Wang asked.

"These people all listen to Lao Li. If we can deal with Lao Li, they will naturally support us."

"Draw a customer relationship diagram on the blackboard, clearly explain the problem and context, and how you plan to improve it."

Lao Shen walked up, feeling a little nervous, and drew and revised, revised and drew again. Coupled with the repeated questioning by everyone, his thoughts became more and more confusing, and the contents on the blackboard became messy.

"That's enough. I've been grinding back and forth for a long time, and I haven't made a clear statement. It's a confusing account.

Stop wasting my time, Jin Ziming, you can tell me." The great elder was angry.

Old Shen sat back in his seat angrily.

Jin Ziming took a breath, cleared the blackboard, and began to explain:

“I have been at Shiyun recently and have basically figured out the reasons for losing orders.

In response to the closed market that I sent, Qingyumen dispatched their sales pacesetter Yang Feng from last year. In the past six months, he has brought a subordinate with him and often went to Shiyun City in a low-key manner when we were unmanned.

Not only that, they also have a lot of contact with high-level customers in Thunder City, and they have already had a heated relationship with Elder Li and Wei Qin who are stationed there.

In fact, before this bidding, Juxing Sect had already decided to give this project to Qingyu Sect.

No matter what price we offer, the other party will find fault and find a reason to let Qing Yumon in."
