Chapter 17 The Separation Between Immortals and Mortals
Lu Yang originally thought that Chen Ping had issued him an employment certificate, but he didn't expect that it was just an interview notice. Even if he was a commercial spy, he couldn't go into battle with bare hands!
Even the imperial army knows how to shoot the puppet troops!
Seeing Yang Lu's speechless expression, Chen Ping smiled and comforted him: "It is not difficult to pass the Qingning Chamber of Commerce interview. The Qingning Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of manpower. It is just that there is no open support from the cultivators behind it and it cannot recruit serious cultivators.
Or, this gives you an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Yang Lu no longer cared about whether "taking advantage of the opportunity" was a compliment or a derogatory term. He pointed at himself and asked: "They can't recruit cultivators, how can they accept a mortal like me with unknown origins?"
"You are holding a recommendation letter from the City Lord's Mansion, but your origin is unknown?" Chen Ping immediately corrected Yang Lu's statement, "You should know that most of the mortals in Haiya City are ignorant people, and the few capable mortals also
They are chamber of commerce elites cultivated by major chambers of commerce. I believe that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will not let go of a mortal like you who is both capable and has no background."
Although there is an element of flattery in this statement, there is nothing wrong with it in itself.
Since cultivators have a crushing force advantage over mortals, mortals, no matter how capable they are, can only remain as the ruled class, and it can be said that they will never be able to turn over.
Therefore, except for a few business elites and white gloves who directly run errands for cultivators, the vast majority of mortals are ignorant men and women. Putting Yang Lu among these ignorant mortals does feel a bit like standing out from the crowd.
If he were not worried about causing unnecessary trouble, he would have countless ways to attract the attention of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing the other party's performance, Yang Lu knew that he had no room for rejection, but he still planned to make a final struggle: "How do you know that I am not a commercial spy sent by another chamber of commerce? Maybe my real purpose is to
Destroy the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"
"I actually really suspected that you were a craftsman from another family!" Chen Ping couldn't help laughing when he heard Yang Lu's excuse, "But after investigation, I found that you actually ate at the homeless shelter of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
Two months of pig food and two months of living in a pig's nest. During this period, no one took the initiative to contact the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. I really can't imagine that any elite spy from the chamber of commerce would be as desperate as you. Even if you are really a commercial spy, you will be
A ruthless person like you deceived me, but I am convinced that I have lost!"
Although the living conditions in the shelter were indeed a nightmare, Yang Lu could tell that Chen Ping was not telling the truth.
In fact, the main reason why he decided that Yang Lu was fine was because of that academic paper.
Just last night, Chen Ping had received a message from his master Xu Yannan. The so-called "price-based monetary policy regulation" concept had received clear support from President Li Qingyang himself at the Lingshi Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Committee!
Li Qingyang even quoted the words of the sages of Xiuzhen Finance and gave Xu Yannan the highest level of evaluation!
Chen Ping did not think that President Li was deliberately taking care of his master.
After all, none of the cultivators who participated in the monetary policy meeting were fools. If Li Qingyang ignored the facts and forcibly promoted Xu Yannan to the position, he would only lose his prestige in vain and add to the laughing stock of the financial officials of the Infinite Sword Sect.
In other words, this concept of price-based monetary policy regulation must have something to offer.
It's a pity that Chen Ping can be reduced to the point of hiring a paper gunman. Obviously his foundation in "Lingshi Numismatics" is not very good, so he can't see the mystery. Even if the original author is right in front of him, he is embarrassed to ask questions and admit it in front of mortals.
own ignorance.
But no matter what, Yang Lu's theory did gain huge political capital for his master.
Who is Xu Yannan?
That is the flagship figure of the new generation of Golden Knife Sect!
Compared to Xu Yannan's status in the financial field, even the life and death of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is not a big deal.
In order to bring down the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the hostile forces even gave this great gift to Xu Yannan, the big backer behind the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. This did not make sense logically, so he concluded that Yang Lu could never be an undercover agent sent by the hostile forces.
.
Yang Lu himself struggled casually, but when he saw that the other party had clearly arranged for him, he had to smile bitterly and put away the letter of recommendation: "I can take on this job, but I can't guarantee to what extent I can achieve it.
"
Chen Ping patted his shoulder affectionately and said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself! After all, you are working for us cultivators, and we will not treat you badly. If you need support from our Golden Knife Sect, just
You need to leave the password according to the rules of the paper gunman, and we will help you solve the problem."
At this point, Chen Ping finally gave a reliable enough promise. Being able to ask the Golden Knife Sect monks to solve the problem, Yang Lu can already go sideways in the mortal circle of Haiya City. The only problem is that Chen Ping
Who is this promise made on behalf of?
On behalf of himself?
Does it represent his master?
Or can it represent the entire Golden Knife Sect?
The answer to this question is directly related to who he can and cannot offend.
However, Chen Ping obviously had no intention of clarifying this issue and continued to talk to himself: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you can't do anything. I didn't intend to ask you to do anything. As long as you sneak into the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, we can
Through your channels, secretly convey some important information to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce."
Listening to Master Chen's tone, he seemed to have concluded that he could successfully break into the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
Yang Lu had no choice but to nod and asked the last question: "What if the Qingning Chamber of Commerce finds out that you sent me here?"
Chen Ping smiled and said: "I still expect you to help me write my thesis. I can't take the initiative to put you in danger! Don't worry, even if the Qingning Chamber of Commerce finds out the truth, it won't embarrass you. But if you can avoid being discovered by the other party,
That would be perfect."
"This condition is pretty good, I accept it!"
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Chen Ping flicked his sleeves and said: "Okay, I've wasted enough time with you! I hope you won't let me down!"
With that said, he disappeared in front of Yang Lu like a ghost.
He didn't even provide any funds for the activity and just ran away. This cultivator is too stingy!
Seeing Chen Ping disappearing out of thin air, Yang Lu sighed deeply and murmured to himself in an imperceptible voice: "Although the cultivators in this world cannot act recklessly due to the merits of heaven, they still don't care about mortals in their hearts.
Just look at it..."
His voice was so soft that even Murong next to him didn't hear him clearly.
Seeing that Mr. Yang and the superior immortal master could chat and laugh happily, Murong's eyes were full of admiration and he quickly asked: "Mr. Yang, what did you just say?"
Yang Lu just touched her cute little head gently: "It's okay, I just feel a little tired from dealing with people. I'm going to take a nap first, and when I wake up, you can accompany me to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"
Without waiting for Murong to answer, he went back to the back room of the guest room.
Murong quickly let go of Yang Lu's hand, but found that his palm was a little wet. At this moment, Murong suddenly realized that Mr. Yang was not as calm as he seemed.
In front of cultivators, mortals are just mortals after all. Unless they can pass the test of the Immortal Ascension Conference, mortals will never be able to cross the tangible boundary between immortals and mortals.
