The Fourth Financial Crisis

Yang Lu had no time to sympathize with this poor strange newsboy.

In fact, most of the newsboys in Haiya City have tragic experiences of one kind or another. If "Haiya City Yang Lu" had not been reborn by himself, his situation would not be any worse than that of the newsboys.

In Haiya City, the common people are the lower-class mortals who are struggling to survive on food and clothing. The middle class with stable jobs are the minority, and most of the middle-class people in Haiya City are vassals who work for cultivators.

As long as these originally middle-class people lose their financial resources, such as being injured at work like Shen Xiaotao's father, or dying unexpectedly like Yang Lu's parents in Haiya City, the entire family will quickly fall to the bottom of society.

This newsboy named Shen Xiaotao dared to take the risk to report the news to Murong Tong. He was indeed a rare good person.

Yang Lu sighed slightly, turned to look at Butler Zhou and said, "Did Zhu Ziming send anyone to trouble us?"

Butler Zhou just shrugged casually and said: "Don't worry, since you have joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he should be worried about whether we will cause trouble for him. But Murong, you are also the eldest lady now, and you have talked to us for so long It’s been a long time, why didn’t you go back and inform the eldest lady quickly? She must be anxious from waiting!”

Murong then showed an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, and ran towards the inner courtyard of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, shouting as he ran:

"Miss, miss, Mr. Yang and the others are back!"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a blue light rising into the sky from inside the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

This escaping light first soared straight into the air for tens of meters, then quickly made a sharp turn and hit the direction of the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce. Finally, it braked suddenly and landed in front of Yang Lu and the others. Since Butler Zhou is still standing behind him with a smile, Li Qingning is the only cultivator with such a level of cultivation in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Feeling the astonishing pressure of the escape light, Yang Lu even suspected that Li Qingning was a foundation-building monk!

"Bang~~!"

It seemed that because the escape speed was too fast, Li Qingning's brakes were obviously hasty and did not completely reduce the speed. The cyan escape light touched the ground and erupted with a muffled sound, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.

After the cyan light dissipated, Li Qingning's familiar figure slowly emerged.

Maybe it was to facilitate business discussions. At this time, Li Qingning no longer dressed in a classic long skirt, but put on a set of close-fitting clothes that are convenient for movement, which fully showed off her figure. If paired with her delicate face, , the female charm of this chamber of commerce eldest lady has not diminished but increased.

It's just that Li Qingning's landing posture was obviously not normal. She even had to rely on her right hand to support the ground to barely avoid falling. The powerful impact made shallow dents on the bluestone floor, and the bursts of smoke and dust stirred up on the ground made her fall. The little fairy who was originally full of fairy spirit suddenly felt a little bit gray. Yang Lu stared at this scene blankly, and a thought flashed through his mind:

Is this still the ancient beauty I saw this morning?

When Yang Lu saw Li Qingning rolling and crawling to his feet in front of him with embarrassing movements, his good impression of the ancient beauty completely collapsed.

He suddenly realized that some things did not seem to be as beautiful as he imagined. Not all oriental-style beauties were gentle, gentle and pleasant traditional beauties...

When he witnessed the other party's valiant style of smashing the desk with his palm, Yang Lu still had some illusions about this beautiful boss, but after seeing Li Qingning almost fall into the mud in front of him, he has completely recognized the cruelty of the boss. Reality.

"I see you haven't come back for a long time, so I'm a little anxious!" Li Qingning said to Yang Lu embarrassedly, perhaps realizing that his current appearance was unsightly.

"Uh... we came back late, and we were delayed a little bit on the way." Seeing the embarrassment of his beautiful boss, even Yang Lu didn't know what to say to resolve the embarrassment in front of him.

Noticing that Yang Lu kept looking at his feet, Li Qingning also quietly glanced down and found that an eye-catching radial pit appeared on the bluestone floor under his feet, and fragmented gravels were scattered all over the floor.

"The quality of this floor is really worrying. Next time, those profiteers must be held accountable for cutting corners!" Li Qingning blushed and randomly found someone to shirk the responsibility.

After saying that, she raised her right hand and pointed slightly to the side, shouting softly: "Come on the wind!"

"Miss, wait a minute!"

Seeing Li Qingning holding the Immortal Art with her right hand, Butler Zhou stopped him loudly like a conditioned reflex.

But his reminder was still a step too late!

I saw a flash of blue light, and the outer courtyard of Qingning Chamber of Commerce was like a typhoon of level 15 or above. The gravel and dust on the ground, swept by the strong wind, were all shot in the direction of Li Qingning's finger at a terrifying speed. .

Yang Lu was sure that even projectile weapons such as crossbows did not have such a fast initial speed. If a normal person was hit by these gravels, the result would be death or injury!

"Pa~~!" A shattering sound sounded. It turned out to be the glass of the wing on the side of the outer courtyard. The gravel rolled up by Li Qingning's spell was directly penetrated from the front and shattered with the sound!

"The intensity is not well controlled, too bad!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qingning immediately changed the Immortal Technique in his right hand and shouted again: "The wind of formlessness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious immortal formation appeared on Li Qingning's raised right hand. The howling wind suddenly stopped, and with the mysterious immortal formation as the center, a strong suction force appeared out of thin air. Whether it was gravel or broken glass, they were all attracted back by Li Qingning at an extremely fast speed.

Before Yang Lu could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another loud "crash" in his ears. He quickly turned his head and looked around, only to see a newly planted small tree in the outer courtyard. The glass shards flying back hit the tree trunk head-on, and were cut into two smooth sections by the ultra-high-speed rotating glass blade.

This horrifying scene made Yang Lu's neck feel chilly.

Seeing that the situation in the yard was getting worse and worse, Li Qingning was also a little at a loss. She stood there with an awkward smile, not knowing whether she should make another magic trick to remedy the situation, or leave the mess on the ground alone.

Seeing that Li Qingning seemed to have the intention to continue to take action, Butler Zhou quickly shouted: "Miss, please use your magical powers!"

"Uncle Zhou, I..."

Housekeeper Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "My eldest lady, you can just leave the small things like cleaning up the courtyard to us servants. After all, you are the hostess of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, so you should hurry up and explain the serious business to Mr. Yang. !”

Yang Lu was also frightened by Li Qingning's "spring cleaning" and repeatedly echoed: "Butler Zhou is right, I think it's more important to do business...Murong, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help Miss Qingning clean up the yard. !”

Murong was slightly stunned, but soon understood what Yang Lu meant. Despite this, she still stood far away and shouted: "Don't rush to do anything, I will take care of it right away!"

It wasn't until he confirmed that Li Qingning had no intention of continuing to take action that Murong approached cautiously.

Seeing that although everyone looked horrified, they had a tacit agreement not to mention what had just happened. Li Qingning's expression of embarrassment softened slightly, and she laughed dryly and said: "I'm a little excited, but it's also because of what Consultant Yang brought to me. What a huge surprise! Just an hour ago, representatives from the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and Haiya Bank came to visit and solved the problem of arrears in payment to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at once. Haha, it turns out that I have a good eye for people. I know you can definitely solve the problem!"

Regarding Li Qingning's behavior of forcing gold on his face, everyone was even more speechless now. If you are really so good at judging people, why didn't those people get things done before? Instead, you were so angry that you broke the table. Already?

However, Li Qingning is his boss after all. Yang Lu immediately followed her intention and said: "As the saying goes, horses with a thousand li a horse often exist, but bole does not always exist. If the eldest lady had not dared to entrust me with important tasks, I would not have succeeded immediately."

This time, Yang Lu's flattery was done well. Li Qingning immediately smiled and waved his hand and said: "Hahaha, the key to the matter being resolved properly is that our Consultant Yang can do his job well!"

Although she said modest words, the joyful expression on her face could not be hidden at all.

Looking at this beautiful young lady with no wealth, Yang Lu felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The good thing is that such a simple-minded boss will definitely not put his subordinates on the fire at will like Chen Ping; the worrying thing is that with a boss like this in Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the internal problems may be more serious than he imagined. .

Employees and bosses have always had an antagonistic relationship. If the boss is too naive, the result will most likely be that the employees will not be grateful, but will be played around by them.

However, Yang Lu also noticed that Li Qingning's title of himself had changed from "Mr. Yang" to "Consultant Yang" and hurriedly asked: "Am I officially the consultant of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Qingning said matter-of-factly: "If you want to sign a contract under the witness of Heaven, we can start at any time."
