Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi sent the two of them off, having already made a decision in his mind. He immediately left Fuyao Alchemy Academy and headed to the Martial Alliance branch.

After arriving at the Wu Meng branch, Lin Yi only said that he was looking for Hua Monogatari to reminisce about the past, but before he could reach Hua Monogatari, the lobby master hurried over.

"Steward Sima, long time no see! Why didn't you inform us in advance when you came back to the Martial Alliance branch? I wanted to make some preparations. I told you before that I would treat you to a good meal. Today is a rare opportunity, so I must have a couple of drinks. Send someone to prepare now!”

The host of the lobby changed from his previous high profile and became so enthusiastic that Lin Yi couldn't stand it.

"Lobby Master, it's been a long time! I'm here to see Brother Hua today, so I won't delay the lobby master's affairs. Let's talk about the meal next time!"

Lin Yi looked indifferent and didn't mean to give the lobby master much face.

The smile on the lobby host's face froze, and he felt a little unable to get off the stage.

However, he quickly adjusted his expression and continued to smile: "Steward Sima is busy with things, that's understandable, that's understandable! But I just have something to discuss with Steward Sima today. As the saying goes, an invitation is worse than a chance encounter. How about a cup of tea first?"

Seeing that they were almost at the place where the story is about, the lobby owner simply clapped his hands: "There's no need to go anywhere else, let's talk about the story together today! This guy seems to have hidden some good tea, so I just let him contribute it. Give us a taste!"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, and walked into the Huamonogatari place first. In fact, he came here to buy equipment from the center, and finding Huamonogatari was just an excuse.

Even if he wants to help the lobby master, Lin Yi will not take the initiative to go to the lobby master. Doing so will only make the lobby master think that Lin Yi is a fool.

So Lin Yi showed up at the Wu Meng branch and said he was looking for Hua Monogatari. In fact, he was giving the lobby master a chance.

If the lobby owner cares about his face and refuses to ask for help, then the equipment issue will be in trouble. Anyway, Lin Yi doesn't care and has no loss.

As expected, the lobby master immediately appeared next to Lin Yi as soon as he received the news, and followed him into the place where the story was told.

"Lobby Master, brother Sima, what kind of wind is this today? It actually blew you two over here!"

Kamonogatari came out with surprise on his face.

The relationship between Lin Yi and the lobby master was not harmonious before, so it was indeed strange for them to get together.

"We just happened to meet him, right at the door!"

Lin Yi casually brushed it off, and then exchanged a few words with Hua Monogatari.

The host of the lobby also shamelessly stepped in and said a few words before everyone took their seats.

Hua Monogatari knew that the master of the hall would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. He must have something to come here today. As for what the matter was, he had some idea in his mind.

"You guys sit down first while I prepare some tea and snacks. I'll be back later!"

Hua Monogatari found an excuse to leave temporarily, leaving the living room to Lin Yi and the lobby owner to talk.

When there were only two people left, the lobby master stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point and said to Lin Yi: "Steward Sima, there is indeed something very important today, and I want to discuss it with you!"

"Our Wumeng League has decided to cooperate with the center. Other branches have their own cooperation projects. Our Naduo Wumeng branch urgently needs a batch of sophisticated equipment, and these equipments are currently only available in the center chamber of commerce!"

"Steward Sima is the liaison envoy between the Wu League and the Center. We need to ask Steward Sima to come forward for this matter! After all, no one is more comfortable dealing with the Central Chamber of Commerce than Steward Sima!"

Lin Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table, with an indifferent smile on his face: "Lobby Master, if you just want to buy equipment, anyone can do it, right? After all, the Central Chamber of Commerce will open its doors for business, and it is impossible to push business outside. You Do you want me to get some discount?"

After hearing this, the lobby owner's face darkened, he twitched his lips, and said with a smile: "It's good to have a discount, but it doesn't matter if you don't have one! In fact, the Central Chamber of Commerce really doesn't want to do business with us, and even temporarily increased the equipment price by 50%! "

"Steward Sima, our Martial League branch really needs this batch of equipment. You can talk to Mr. Gray Robe of the Central Chamber of Commerce about it! In terms of price... the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, but the equipment must be delivered as soon as possible and maintained. Guaranteed quality and quantity!”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly surprised in his heart.

I originally thought that the lobby owner came to stand up for me because the price charged by the center was too high and too harsh.

Now it seems that the price is nothing!

"Steward Sima, we had some misunderstandings before. It's all my fault. The equipment this time is really important! If Steward Sima is angry, you can beat or scold him. I just hope Steward Sima can accomplish this. thing!"

The lobby owner's attitude became more and more humble when he spoke, even a little bit pleading!

Lin Yi was really surprised now!

He never thought that the lobby master would actually admit his mistake? And the attitude is quite sincere!

"Lobby Master, why is the Martial Alliance branch so eager to buy equipment? Did something happen?"

Lin Yi didn't say he would help or not, let's find out the reason first.

The lobby owner sighed: "There is indeed something bad. In the Abandoned Forest that our Nado Martial League branch is responsible for, several nodes are unstable! It is expected that they may be damaged continuously, so a large-scale suppression must be carried out. Node preparation!”

"This situation is more serious and cannot be dealt with casually. If you want to improve your combat effectiveness and success rate, you can only rely on the most sophisticated equipment! When it comes to the dark monsters in the Abandoned Forest, you must not be careless at all!"

Lin Yi was slightly startled. It was really rare to see the lobby master showing concern for the country and the people!

"Since it is related to the sealing node of the Forest of Abandonment, I am determined to make it clear. I will go to the center to discuss it soon to see if the matter can be settled!"

This is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. Lin Yi finally relented.

The lobby owner immediately beamed, took out the list he had prepared and handed it to Lin Yi with both hands.

"Steward Sima, please take a look. All the equipment we need this time are on this list! It doesn't matter if the price is higher, it's easy to negotiate, but we must complete the transaction as soon as possible! The situation is urgent and time waits for no one!"

Lin Yi took a look at the list and saw that the quantity was indeed huge. Even if it was traded at a normal price, the Central Chamber of Commerce would still be able to reap huge profits.

Now that the price has increased by 50%, it is even more of a huge profit!

The lobby owner didn't dare to bargain at this moment, and just wanted to buy the things quickly so that he could complete the task!

"Okay, then I'll go to the Central Chamber of Commerce now and try to talk about it. I can't guarantee whether it can work out. I can only do my best!"

Lin Yi put away the list without making a guarantee, said hello to Hua Monogatari who came back, and went out to the Central Chamber of Commerce.
