The dim lights kept swaying, and the light and shadow reflected by the candles trembled slightly on the wall. On one side of the room, a solemn-looking middle-aged man sat at the table, watching the young man standing in front of him talking, not knowing what he was saying silently.
Thinking about something.
These two people are Zhu Jianwen, the current head of the Zhu family, and Zhu Ziming, the young master of the Zhu family.
As a representative of the younger generation of business elites in Haiya City, Zhu Ziming has shown superb talent for chamber of commerce management since he was a child. He has been in control of the financial power of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and is also responsible for the external liaison work of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.
In the flourishing Zhu family, Zhu Ziming is not high in the succession order, but due to his long-term and deep involvement in the management of the Zhu family chamber of commerce, he is still considered a popular candidate to be the next head of the Zhu family.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Zhu Ziming's campaign against the Qingning Chamber of Commerce suffered a disastrous failure. He failed in an important task personally assigned by Lu Anping, the great backer of the Zhu family chamber of commerce, which dealt a huge blow to his prestige.
What's even worse is that for some unknown reason, he offended Han Fulai, a powerful figure in the main palace of Haiya City, which caused a huge negative impact on the business activities of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.
In recent years, the return on investment of major cultivation chambers of commerce has been declining at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. The profits of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce are already very meager. In addition, Han Fulai, the head of the Ocean Trading Department, deliberately makes things difficult for Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, which is not well off.
For the Chamber of Commerce, the financial situation is even worse.
In the end, Lu Anping couldn't stand it any longer, so he took the initiative to end his retreat and personally came forward to talk to Han Xinhe, the law enforcement elder of the Haiya Sect, and finally settled the huge trouble at the Haiya City Lord's Mansion.
But White Glove asked the big boss behind the scenes to clean up the mess for him, which was undoubtedly a sign of extreme incompetence. This caused Zhu Ziming's status in Lu Anping's eyes to plummet.
The entire Zhujia Chamber of Commerce depends on Lu Anping for its existence. After offending Lu Anping, Zhu Ziming was directly deprived of all rights in the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce. The inheritance rights of the Chamber of Commerce were even more unthinkable.
Even many of the family members who usually queue up to fawn over him have avoided him.
Fortunately, there is always a way out.
After being tested for rare low-grade spiritual root qualifications, Zhu Ziming finally had a great turnaround!
In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, cultivators and mortals are not in the same dimension at all, and can even be said to be two species.
Zhu Ziming, who was found to have low-grade fire spirit root qualifications, immediately dealt a blow to the other heirs of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. Although Zhu Jianwen has not yet made it clear to the public, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Ziming will definitely become the next Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.
Patriarch, because in this world, there has never been any reason for mortals to lead cultivators!
The reason why Zhu Ziming met with his father in the secret room of the Chamber of Commerce was precisely because what they discussed was related to the future route of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, and it was a matter of life and death!
According to Zhu Ziming, the current chaotic situation in Haiya City is a good opportunity for the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce to skyrocket.
But in the view of Zhu Jianwen, who has experienced great storms, opportunities and risks have always been in a relationship. A great opportunity, in turn, may be a trap that will make the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce irrecoverable.
However, his youngest son is already a true cultivator. Even if Zhu Jianwen is his biological father, there are some things that it is difficult to say directly to him now, and he can only guide him in indirect ways.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Ziming finally ended his eloquent speech. Seeing that Zhu Jianwen never made a comment, he asked in a slightly coercive tone: "Father, what do you think of the proposal I just made?"
"You...what you said makes sense." Zhu Jianwen took a sip of the spiritual tea produced in Huoyunzhou with trembling hands, and then was silent for a while: "But Ziming, the cause and effect of this matter, you
Have you really thought it through?"
"I have thought about it very clearly." Seeing his always dignified father talking to him in a consultative tone, Zhu Ziming couldn't help but feel high-spirited, "The new generation of Zhongzhou social security system is obviously a political bargaining chip thrown by Li Qingyang. He was in Shouyuan
Before it runs out, I will definitely use this bargaining chip in exchange for a say in the selection of the new Lingshi Reserve Bank president!"
Zhu Ziming's judgment was surprisingly consistent with Yang Lu's.
However, Zhu Jianwen was not easily persuaded, but sighed and said: "Why do you think Li Qingyang would choose Lin Jianxing? Logically speaking, Cheng Shuying is the person who needs his help the most!"
"Cheng Shuying failed more than he succeeded!" Zhu Ziming suddenly showed disdain when he mentioned Cheng Shuying, "He knew that he could not compete with Lin Jianxing and Mo Yunlan, so he wanted to drag Li Qingyang into the water by hooking up with Li Qingning. But what Li Qingyang really wanted was
It is the right to speak in the future of Lingshi Reserve Bank, but Cheng Shuying has been reluctant to make a statement on this. He is unwilling to pay the price, but wants to get the benefits. How can such a good thing be found in the world? "
Zhu Ziming was originally an arrogant person. After obtaining the transcendent status of a cultivator, he was no longer just an ordinary second-generation rich man in Haiya City, but a real talker who could decide the fate of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, when talking about the important figures of the Wuliang Sword Sect, his tone seemed quite rude, and he even dared to directly accuse Cheng Shuying of being a loser.
However, this secret room is not only located deep underground in the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, but also has a soundproof fairy array and an early warning fairy array deployed by cultivators personally. He does not have to worry about his words being overheard by interested people.
Zhu Jianwen didn't care about Zhu Ziming's tone, but continued to question: "Mo Yunlan and Li Qingyang were both people who fought with President Lu in the past. They are natural allies. Why wouldn't Li Qingyang choose to fight with Mo Yunlan?"
cooperate?"
"It is precisely because they are allies that Li Qingyang will not choose Mo Yunlan!" Zhu Ziming spoke firmly and expressed his judgment, "No matter whether he supports Mo Yunlan or not, Mo Yunlan will take the new position at Lingshi Reserve Bank.
He was supported in the selection of the president because Mo Yunlan himself was also from Lingshi Reserve Bank. If he wanted to elect one of his own to succeed the president, the only people Li Qingyang really needed to win were Cheng Shuying and Lin Jianxing. Since Cheng Shuying was so unreliable, then
He can only choose Lin Jianxing!"
When it comes to the candidate for the fourth president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, Supreme Elder Mo Yunlan is undoubtedly the one that everyone expects.
Mo Yunlan is not only one of the founders of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, but also the Yuan Ying Stage Supreme Elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Whether it is the Golden Knife Sect, the Wuliang Sword Sect, major overseas sects, or Mr. Lu’s old subordinates, all parties
All forces can accept this choice.
But according to the tradition of the Wuliang Sword Sect, the Supreme Elder is not allowed to be in charge of two core departments at the same time. After all, the Supreme Elder has such great power, where does he want to put his position as the leader?
Therefore, if he wants to take over as the fourth president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, Mo Yunlan must first give up the leadership of Duzhitang.
For Mo Yunlan, both Duzhitang and Lingshi Reserve Bank are very important. As the basic business that he has personally run for hundreds of years, Duzhitang is full of his disciples, so Mo Yunlan can never do it for Lingshi Reserve Bank.
If you hold the position of president of the Shi Reserve Bank, you will give up the position of the leader of the Duzhi Hall.
Although Mo Yunlan himself will not run for the position of president, he will definitely advance and retreat with Li Qingyang on this issue.
