The Fourth Financial Crisis

After entering Li Qingning's office, Yang Lu was promoted to the second most powerful person in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

If it were another chamber of commerce that acted like this, the employees would definitely talk about it and even doubt Yang Lu's origins.

But considering that Miss Li's work style has always been so casual and unrestrained, the employees of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, who are used to being tormented by the Miss, have no fluctuations in their hearts and even want to laugh a little.

However, before officially taking office, Yang Lu still has another important thing to do:

Han Fulai, the head of the Ocean Trading Department, is hosting a treat at Haiya Pavilion tonight, and the invitation has been delivered to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, Han Fulai wanted to invite Li Qingning himself to the banquet, but who was Li Qingning? The uncles who usually invited guests to dinner were at least golden elixir-level monks. He didn't want to give face to this "servant of the city lord's palace", so he entrusted Yang Lu to come forward on his behalf. , this time the benefits of the title "Qingning Chamber of Commerce Consultant" are reflected.

At a higher level, this metaphysical title can even be compared with Lu Anping, the "Zhujia Chamber of Commerce Great Enshrinement", but at a lower level, it can also be a nobody who is nothing.

It's just that Han Fulai had already preconceived ideas. He had seen Yang Lu talking eloquently in front of him on behalf of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and he had already concluded in his heart that his title of "Qingning Chamber of Commerce Consultant" was not simple. When he saw Yang Lu attending the banquet on behalf of Li Qingning, he certainly didn't show it. Not dissatisfied at all.

Han Fulai also had his own guesses about Yang Lu's true identity. There were only so many old faces in the business world of Haiya City, but suddenly a new face with extraordinary abilities like Yang Lu appeared. It didn't look like Li Qingning could recruit him himself. In addition, there are recent rumors in the City Lord's Mansion that the Golden Blade Sect once sent someone to visit City Lord Jiang, hoping to recommend talents to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce through the City Lord's Mansion.

With the two facts confirmed, he was almost certain that Yang Lu must be a business elite specially sent by Li Qingyang to assist Li Qingning!

He was also working for cultivators, but his backstage was only a foundation-building monk, while the other party's backstage might be the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. This made Han Fulai not feel neglected at all, but rather flattered.

After a long chat with the eldest lady, it was already approaching evening. Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Yang Lu and Butler Zhou rushed to Haiya Pavilion for the banquet with gifts.

In fact, Butler Zhou would not take the initiative to leave the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, which is why not many people in Haiya City know him. But now Li Qingning pays more attention to Yang Lu than ever before, and he must let Butler Zhou follow him to protect him.

Housekeeper Zhou couldn't resist the will of his eldest lady, so he had to pull his old face and follow him reluctantly.

Out of courtesy, Yang Lu arrived at Haiya Pavilion half an hour earlier than the agreed time. Since the peak dining period has not yet arrived, there are relatively few guests in the entire Haiya Pavilion. Yang Lu and the two walked into Haiya Pavilion with large and small bags. They were very eye-catching in themselves. Coupled with Butler Zhou's temperament that was incompatible with ordinary people, it became even more attractive. Eyeballs.

However, most of the guests only took a glance and withdrew their curious gazes. After all, everyone is a person of status and knows that it is not polite to stare at strangers. Only one gaze was always staring at him, which made Yang Lu feel a little uncomfortable subconsciously. .

Looking in the direction of his gaze, Yang Lu saw an acquaintance as expected: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Zhu! Could it be that he left without a full meal yesterday and came back to make up for it today?"

Seeing Yang Lu looking over, Zhu Ziming's face twitched: "I was wrong yesterday. Mr. Yang is indeed a real person and doesn't show his face!"

Zhu Ziming could say this because he had obviously investigated himself secretly. As a long-established chamber of commerce in Haiya City, the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce must have a source of information in the City Lord's Mansion. Yang Lu made a lot of noise in the City Lord's Mansion today. Coupled with Han Fulai's intention to expand his influence, his deeds cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people.

But Yang Lu didn't seem to hear the other party's weirdness. He made a trivial gesture with his thumb and index finger and said: "No, as the chamber of commerce consultant of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, I just did so many small tasks."

When he mentioned the words "Chamber of Commerce Consultant", he specially emphasized it. After all, there is Miss Li Qingning's free tiger skin. If he doesn't use it as a banner, it would be a waste of natural resources.

Zhu Ziming knew that he couldn't afford to offend Li Qingning, so he sneered and changed the topic directly: "Where was the dirty newsboy named Murong yesterday? Why didn't you bring her over for dinner? I suggest you visit her when you have time. Maybe She has been beaten to death——"

"Keng~~!"

Before Zhu Ziming could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of a sharp blade being sheathed. Looking around, Zhu Ziming found that there was a bamboo chopstick stuck out of nowhere about an inch from his feet!

This bamboo chopstick is obviously made of ordinary bamboo material, but it has cut a hole in the hard granite floor of Haiya Pavilion, and even half of the chopstick has been deeply embedded in the entire stone floor.

Looking up again, he found that the old man following Yang Lu was gesturing with a lone bamboo chopstick with his right hand, looking at him with indifferent and contemptuous eyes.

This is the cultivator warning himself!

This thought immediately flashed through Zhu Ziming's mind.

Not to mention why this Yang Lu was protected by a cultivator, before he could say a few words, the cultivator warned him in such a stern way, which was obviously a direct slap in his face!

Zhu Ziming took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "Master Immortal Master, did you consider the face of Immortal Master Lu of the Infinite Sword Sect when you attacked members of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce like this?"

Butler Zhou just said coldly: "I'm just giving a warning to a certain Zhu family scum, so I won't offend Lu Anping."

Zhu Ziming felt extremely angry when he heard the other party calling him "the scum of the Zhu family", but since the other party dared to call Lu Anping by his name, he thought with his toes:

Butler Zhou’s identity is not simple!

Therefore, he forced himself to be calm and said: "Although the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce are business competitors, it is a bit too despicable to personally attack them because of a commercial conflict."

However, Butler Zhou just closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

Zhu Ziming never imagined that it was precisely because he mentioned Murong that Butler Zhou took action.

In the opinion of Housekeeper Zhou, this beast named Zhu wanted to use force on Murong yesterday. When they met today, he was still obsessed with Murong. Calling him a scum instead of a beast was already taking care of Lu Anping's face!

Seeing that Butler Zhou ignored him, Zhu Ziming had no choice but to turn to Yang Lu and said: "The Qingning Chamber of Commerce has a strong background and we, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, cannot afford to offend him, but this does not mean that you can do whatever you want under the banner of that gentleman! In the business field, everyone Sooner or later, you have to speak based on your ability. If you think I only have this ability, you are totally wrong!"

Faced with Zhu Ziming's declaration of war dropped on the spot, Yang Lu just smiled: "I never meant to look down on Mr. Zhu. After all, Mr. Zhu has great powers and can even blatantly interfere in the internal affairs of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and the City Lord's Mansion. Such... The skills of Tongtian are simply beyond my reach, Yang Lu!"

Yang Lu is also a master of yin and yang.

His words seemed to be modest, but in fact they were insinuating that Zhu Ziming had planted a mole within the Haiya Department.
