"First of all, I want to make something to you, that is, I will not join you." Sitting on his chair, Li Yang said calmly to Zhou Lan opposite him: "I can help you, but there is no relationship between us.
The relationship cannot be that of superiors and subordinates, it can only be cooperation."
"Yes, it's cooperation." As if to emphasize his words, Li Yang said again: "We must be equal in our lower positions."
"Of course." Zhou Lan agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.
To be honest, Zhou Lan never thought of treating Li Yang as his subordinate. You must know that the young man in front of him is not an ordinary magician. Not to mention himself, even the former president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce and his father,
Zhou Lan also felt that he was not qualified to recruit Li Yang as his subordinate. Being able to cooperate with each other was already the biggest gain for Zhou Lan.
After the conditions were met, Li Yang finally smiled and said: "Now that we have decided to cooperate, you should tell me about the complicated relationship between you, right?"
"Yeah" nodded, Zhou Lan began to talk hurriedly.
"First of all, I think you also heard what steward Tian said, my father is the former president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce." Zhou Lan's eyes had a trace of sadness: "But because of the power struggle within the chamber of commerce, my father is the former president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce."
My father was killed in an accident caused by the opposition in the clan."
"Next, it's just as you predicted." Zhou Lan raised her head and glanced at Li Yang and said: "Because of the death of his father, the Chamber of Commerce must start the selection of the next president of the Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the current situation happened.
"
"After all, as the daughter of the previous president, I also have the inheritance rights of the next president." Zhou Lan smiled bitterly, "Although my power is not as strong as other children with inheritance rights because I was ostracized by the clan, but this does not mean
We cannot stop them from kicking away my stumbling block."
With a slight sigh, Zhou Lan walked towards the stage, opened a corner of the closed curtain, and let a ray of sunlight shine on herself.
"The Bandung Auction House in Tras City is the prelude to the selection of the president. It can be said that whoever can control the Bandung Auction House will have more capital to participate in the next competition. And those who did not compete in the early stage
If they lose their own power, or those who are still obsessed with the previous power, their outcome will only be eliminated by competition."
"I can't believe that the competition within the same family is more intense than the competition between different families." Li Yang couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't expect that your chamber of commerce is more of a jungle beast than a jungle beast."
"Jungle Beast" Hearing Li Yang's words, the bitterness on Zhou Lan's face couldn't help but become more intense, "Perhaps it is like this in many big families, no, it is even more cruel. The fittest survive, the weak are eliminated, the rules of the jungle are even more pronounced in big families.
To be honest, I myself think that the so-called big family is worse than the beasts in the jungle. After all, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but they kill each other without any scruples."
"So, my task is to help you gain ownership of the Tras City Auction House first?" Li Yang asked.
"This is very simple to say. As long as you pass the competition and successfully win the competition, you can get the management rights of the auction house." Zhou Lan explained: "There are three successors sent to Tras City, but I am the only one.
I have a wizard-level assistant with Zhou Haotian. So, this competition can be said to be a competition between me and Zhou Haotian."
"It's just that although I have the help of Mr. Guo, my power is only inferior among all the successors. After all, except Mr. Guo, I have no helpers, and the others are all magicians.
, thugs are not something I can compete with."
Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Zhou Lan sighed softly, and then said to Li Yang in an instant: "That's why I need your help. According to my estimation, as long as you are added to the
Sorcerer, I am sure of success in this competition."
"I hope things are as you think." Li Yang shrugged nonchalantly.
"Then" Li Yang stood up from the chair and asked Zhou Lan: "Can I go back to my place to rest now?"
Stretching his hands and feet, Li Yang moved his waist and legs, "I ran around today and am really tired."
"If possible, Li Yang, I think it would be better for us to live together." When Li Yang wanted to leave, Zhou Lan said quickly.
"It still doesn't work. If anything happens, just ask someone to notify me." With that said, Li Yang walked towards the door.
"Oh, by the way. Remember to tell me the specific competition time and plans when the time comes." Standing in front of the door, Li Yang turned around and said something, and immediately turned around and left without hesitation.
There were only two people left, and the room became a little quiet for a while.
"This Li Yang is really hard to figure out." After a long time in the silent room, Mr. Guo interrupted the silence with a sigh.
"Yeah, I really don't understand him. Originally, I promised him many benefits, but he didn't agree to cooperate, but now because of that guy Zhou Haotian, he actually agreed to cooperate. I really don't know whether to thank Zhou Haotian or not." Xuanyuan.
Sitting down, Zhou Lan's expression was equally complicated.
At the same time, Steward Tian also returned to Zhou Haotian. In front of Zhou Haotian, Steward Tian, of course, exaggerated the affairs of the auction house and described Zhou Lan as domineering and arrogant.
"Young Master, you don't know that Zhou Lan directly used the Chamber of Commerce to suppress me. You know, isn't suppressing me the same as suppressing you, Master?" Butler Tian closed his eyes in annoyance, "That stinky bitch, you think
You are the daughter of the former president, so you can do whatever you want, and scolding the young master in front of everyone is not to make it difficult for the young master."
It has to be said that as many servants as there are servants, there is also a master. After hearing what Butler Tian said, Zhou Haotian's face became more and more difficult, with a blaming face and a pair of fierce eyes, as if he was choosing someone to kill.
It eats like a ferocious tiger.
"Hmph! That Zhou Lan is really getting more and more presumptuous. Does he think that because he is the daughter of the former president, he can do whatever he wants?" Zhou Haotian slammed his palm on the table in front of him, causing the whole table to creak.
ring.
"That's right, the young master just wanted to reminisce with that Zhou Man, and that Zhou Lan actually dared to stop him. Not only that, but he also helped outsiders to disgrace the Zhou family. He is really a traitor to the family." Zhou Haotian looked angry.
Butler Tian quickly added more fire, as if he wanted Zhou Haotian's anger to burn Zhou Lan and the others to pieces.
"We can't touch this stinky bitch Zhou Lan for the time being." Turning around, Zhou Haotian had a gloomy face, but he was still not swallowed up by anger.
I saw him holding his arms, and the index finger of his right hand slowly pointed at the joint of his left arm, "The family members are all hoping that I will make a mistake. Before, if they didn't catch evidence secretly, they couldn't do anything to me. But now.
Zhou Lan has already arrived in Tras City, and the family has many eyes and ears. If I were caught messing around, I might not be able to eat and walk around."
Listening to Zhou Haotian's words, Butler Tian couldn't help but froze, and then his expression became even more grim, "Master, is it so easy for that stinky bitch?"
"Taking advantage of them? Do you think it's possible?" Zhou Haotian walked up to Butler Tian, "We can't touch Mr. Guo and Zhou Lan, but doesn't Zhou Lan have a 'good friend'?"
"Are you talking about the young man named Li Yang?" Through the subsequent investigation, Butler Tian also knew the identity registered in Li Yang's admission card.
"That's him!" Zhou Haotian said with a gloomy look: "That kid has had conflicts with me before. He thought he had some relationship with the Wan family and was so arrogant. He must not know that the Wan family is only dependent on our Zhou family.
Survive.”
"Let's let Li Yang have an accident like Zhou Lan's father! I believe Zhou Lan will be very happy and excited after knowing that his good friend has an accident."
"Accident?" Butler Tian pondered for a while and said, "Young Master is wise, I will make arrangements right away."
Having said that, Butler Tian stopped staying and ran out of the room to count the manpower in order to create an accident as soon as possible.
"Hehe, you dare to offend me, Zhou Lan, and Li Yang, I will let you learn from me my methods." Hehe sneered, Zhou Haotian looked at the figure of Butler Tian running away, and the proud look in his eyes was faintly visible.
At this time, as Zhou Haotian's target, Li Yang was still wandering around in the street.
Well, maybe it should be said that he was walking with a purpose. After all, Li Yang was walking on the street, and his eyes were constantly scanning, looking for his target.
"Yes." Li Yang opened his eyes slightly and walked quickly through the crowd.
"Tony Props Shop, I finally found a prop shop." Li Yang walked in quickly with the sign of Tony Props Shop hanging in front of him.
Since we are about to start the actual layout of the formation, of course we need some tools. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a cake out of rice, and it is the same for Li Yang. Without appropriate tools and only materials, nothing can be done.
So right after he left with Zhou Lan and the others, Li Yang ran straight to the street and looked around for prop shops selling formation props. Unfortunately, after walking for several streets, Li Yang could not find any prop shop.
But this is of course, because prop stores are different from grocery stores. The items in them are either exclusive for magicians or only affordable for nobles. Of course, there are not many such stores.
Opening the ornately decorated store door, Li Yang walked into the props shop, but at this step, Li Yang was frightened.
Gorgeous! The environment in front of you is not only gorgeous but also gorgeous.
The decorations are inlaid with gold and silver, and even the lighting props are wrapped in crystal. Everything reveals a certain atmosphere.
"Nouveau riche! Yes! It's the aura of the nouveau riche!" Li Yang cursed secretly in his heart.
