The Fourth Financial Crisis

"Please show me your ID!"

Yang Lu and Murong were about to walk into the Qingning Chamber of Commerce when they were stopped by someone.

Looking at the guard in front of him who looked like an old janitor, Yang Lu didn't say anything, but silently took out the recommendation letter for the City Lord's Mansion.

The old gatekeeper was obviously literate. He picked up the letter of recommendation and looked at it twice, and suddenly his face showed surprise: "Did the City Lord's Mansion really recommend talents to us?"

Hearing this, Yang Lu raised his eyebrows: "What? Is there something wrong with my letter of recommendation?"

The old gatekeeper said in a very incredible tone: "There is nothing wrong with this letter of recommendation. A few days ago, the eldest lady took the initiative to ask the City Lord's Mansion to help recommend some unique talents. I thought it was too childish at the time. , but I didn’t expect that the City Lord’s Mansion can really recommend talents to come here. What kind of trick is this Jiang Hua’an playing for us?”

Yang Lu's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly when he heard the old gatekeeper calling the Lord of Haiya City by his first name.

Jiang Hua'an is a third-level golden elixir monk, the earth emperor of Haiya City, and the contemporary head of the Haiya Sect!

Such a taboo name for a big shot. Is it possible to shout casually?

Yang Lu knew that the background of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was not simple, otherwise the monks from the Golden Sword Sect of the Zhongzhou Sect would not have tried their best to curry favor with him. This old man dared to call Jiang Huaan so casually. If he was just an ordinary janitor, Yang Lu The first one didn't believe it.

Thinking of this, Yang Lu immediately said respectfully: "I don't know what you call me, old man?"

The old gatekeeper put away the recommendation letter and Shi Shiran said: "You can just call me Butler Zhou. I am responsible for Miss Qingning's daily life. Now the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is short of manpower. When there is nothing, I will do it." Please hold the door for the eldest lady. Since you have a letter of recommendation from the City Lord’s Palace, you are the guest personally invited by the eldest lady. I will take you to meet her now."

The boss behind the Qingning Chamber of Commerce usually lives in seclusion, and few people have seen his true face. Others only know that he is a cultivator.

Yang Lu didn't expect that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce would be headed by a woman!

Although he was a little surprised, Yang Lu remained calm and said, "Thank you, Butler Zhou, for the introduction."

However, Butler Zhou just snorted coldly and said: "It's quite pretending to be like that. But I have to say something ugly first. No matter which god you are sent by, you'd better be honest with me. If How dare you have any evil thoughts towards the eldest lady..."

Hearing the unkind tone of Butler Zhou, the simple-minded Murong immediately argued: "Mr. Yang just came to Qingning Chamber of Commerce to find a job!"

Only then did Butler Zhou notice Murong's presence, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing here, little girl?"

Suddenly being questioned, the newspaper seller said with little confidence: "I came to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to look for a job with Mr. Yang..."

Murong's voice became weaker and weaker, until finally it was almost inaudible.

Butler Zhou looked at Murong and then at Yang Lu, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "You little girl is much more pleasing to the eye than this Mr. Yang. Well, since you are here, then follow me Let’s go meet the eldest lady together!”

As Butler Zhou entered the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu's expression remained unmoved, but his heart was full of doubts.

Judging from Butler Zhou's performance, he was obviously doubting his true motives. Despite this, he still chose to take him to see the hostess of the Chamber of Commerce, seemingly not worrying at all that he had ulterior motives.

From Chen Ping, the Golden Sword Sect monk, to the unfathomable Butler Zhou, everything involving the Qingning Chamber of Commerce reveals an indescribable and strange feeling.

This in the end is why?

Although Butler Zhou didn't like Yang Lu, he had a good impression of Murong, a simple-minded newspaper seller. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and soon passed through an oriental courtyard and came to an exquisitely shaped courtyard. Antique loft.

"This is Miss Qingning's office. Let me introduce you two first -"

Before Butler Zhou could finish introducing the situation, he was interrupted by angry accusations coming from the attic: "This is simply too much! Is Haiya City still under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou? Do we still need civil servants in Haiya City? Comply with the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations"? Aren't they afraid that I will bring the matter to the Wuliangjian Sect Law Enforcement Hall and make them miserable?"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another deafening loud noise.

Just hearing the earth-shattering movement, Yang Lu thought for a while that someone had detonated a grenade in the attic.

Hearing this unusual movement, Housekeeper Zhou smiled wryly and said: "The eldest lady has encountered something unpleasant again. But you don't have to worry. Since the establishment of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the eldest lady has been coming almost every few days. This time. In fact, she is a very kind girl and treats us servants quite well, but sometimes she is a little...well, a little impatient."

Butler Zhou looked calm, as if he had become accustomed to what happened in the attic.

When the three of them reached the attic door, Housekeeper Zhou asked for instructions through the door: "Miss, didn't you ask Haiya City Lord's Mansion to help recommend talents last time? Now that the talents recommended by City Lord Jiang have come to report, do you want to Come out and meet him!”

A woman's surprised voice immediately came from the room: "Sure enough, City Master Jiang recommended talents to us! Uncle Zhou, I knew this method would work, please invite the guests in!"

Butler Zhou gently opened the door and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Lu, but he stepped aside.

So Yang Lu took a deep breath and stepped into the office of the hostess of the chamber of commerce.

This office is also decorated in a traditional oriental style. In the center is a simple long desk carved from high-end spiritual wood. It not only shows the style of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, but does not look like a nouveau riche. Feel.

Behind the long desk stood a stunningly beautiful classical beauty.

She was wearing a white dress, but the style didn't look like any kind of fashion nowadays. Instead, it looked a bit like the costumes of a certain ancient dynasty.

She has jet black hair as long as a waterfall and a pair of bright eyes, a small and straight nose, and her facial features are indescribably exquisite. Even though the entire office environment is noble and elegant, no matter how perfect the environment is, after the appearance of this classical beauty , which makes people ignore it unconsciously.

Even though Yang Lu was used to seeing artificial beauties transformed by modern plastic surgery technology, his eyes couldn't help but shine.

It's a pity that the classical beauty's aura of a fairy was completely destroyed by the long case of priceless spiritual trees in front of her.

This long table of spiritual wood, as solid as iron and stone, seemed to be split in half from top to bottom by some huge force. At the center of the fracture, the partial outline of a slender little hand could be vaguely seen...

Seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on the classical beauty's face, it was obvious that this woman had photographed the long wooden case in two pieces with one palm of her hand.

Opposite the long desk, there was another middle-aged man who looked like a servant, kneeling on the ground with fear on his face.

Seeing Yang Lu appear, the man seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and repeatedly pleaded: "Miss Qingning, since you have important guests visiting, I will take my leave first."

The classical beauty known as Miss Qingning waved her hands helplessly and said: "You useless trash, please step aside first! Tell those civil servants in Haiya City that this matter is not over yet!"
