In Chu's reception room.

After the secretary brought the tea, he respectfully retreated at Chu Linchen's instructions.

Chu Linchen put the teacup aside for the time being, took out a black folder, opened it, and presented it to Gong Shouze.

Gong Shouze glanced lightly. It was the letter of appointment he had personally issued before, and the signature office was still empty.

He seemed a little regretful and looked back at Chu Linchen: "I thought you joined the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce because you accepted my employment. Now it seems that you still have doubts?"

Chu Linchen looked at him without any hesitation, and responded: "Yes."

This answer was originally expected by Gong Shouze, but Chu Linchen's answer was so straightforward that he was slightly surprised.

His wise and deep eyes looked at the young man in front of him. He seemed to see a kind of youthful style in the other person, which made him feel a moment of trance.

"What do you want?" he asked straightforwardly.

Everyone is smart, so there is no need to hide a lot of things.

Chu Linchen also said straight to the point: "Under the leadership of Zhang Chengming, the ambitions of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce are growing. The king hopes to use my hand to curb the development of the chamber of commerce and stabilize the situation in Kyoto? I am naturally willing to serve the king, but I don't want to add all my Chu family's foundation."

Gong Shouze was stunned and then smiled, "Linchen, you are so harsh. You are not Zhang Chengming and others. I will give you this letter of appointment and hope you will become a member of my royal family. From then on, your Chu family group will surely be prosperous and become increasingly strong in Kyoto!"

"I am naturally different from Zhang Chengming. However, as the ruler of Chu, I have to make plans for Chu's future."

Chu Linchen responded with a humble and arrogant sentence. Thoughts flashed in his deep black eyes and said, "Master, I take the liberty to ask, what are your next plans after the matter of the Chamber of Commerce is resolved?"

This question really stopped Gong Shouze.

He stared at Chu Linchen with scrutiny in his eyes.

Chu Linchen said modestly: "I have not been here for a long time. I still don't understand the situation in Kyoto, so I need your guidance."

After the words came to an end, the reception room was silent for another two seconds.

Gong Shouze's hearty laughter suddenly rang.

He raised his hand and pressed it on the appointment letter in front of him. His index finger lightly tapped the blank signature area as if it were a bit unavailable, and said leisurely: "Everyone is my own. If you can help you lose more worries, it's okay to tell you!"

"Thank you for your compassion!"

At the end of the conversation, under Gong Shouze's smiling gaze, Chu Linchen held a pen and signed the smooth signature on the appointment letter.

Gong Shouzexu narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face became much deeper.

He stood up and said goodbye, rejecting Chu Linchen's proposal to send him out in person.

Chu Linchen stopped at the right time and watched Gong Shouze and his group disappear at the door.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced lightly at the signing letter of appointment on the table, with a hint of solemnity on his cold face.

Gong Shouze's words just now echoed in his mind, making him frown and worried.

In the elevator.

Qiu Bing pressed the button on the first floor.

Then, he stepped back to Gong Shouze with his hands hanging down, and couldn't help but speak: "Master, you said those words to Chu Linchen just now. Aren't you worried that he would disclose the secret? Or take the opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Gong Shouze glanced at him lightly, with an intriguing smile on his face, and said concisely: "You don't need to doubt people, you don't have to use them."

After saying that, he was about to turn his head, but his eyes accidentally fell on the elevator wall in front of him.

The inner wall of the metal elevator was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his appearance.

But he only glanced at it, but suddenly tightened his pupils in surprise.

In the mirror, his eyes eroded by time were unconsciously opened, and the yellow whites and eyes met with a faint red sliver of silky red spreading!

Gong Shouze was shocked, full of surprise and confusion.

Why is it at this time...
