The Fourth Financial Crisis

Yang Lu did not immediately declare his break with Fang Jiancai.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Cheng Shuying will most likely be eliminated and lose his function in the field of social security, Merit Hall can still be said to be extremely powerful just by relying on its power to evaluate the major vassal sects.

The Qingning Chamber of Commerce suddenly turned its back. Although it could gain forgiveness from other forces, it would also offend the Merit Hall. This would obviously have a negative impact on the development of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

As for how to properly handle this matter, Yang Lu currently has no idea and still needs to plan carefully.

Xu Yannan saw that Yang Lu didn't take care of everything, so he nodded slightly and said: "With your intelligence and talent, it shouldn't be difficult to handle this matter. Although you are already an official disciple of the Golden Blade Sect, our management of disciples has always been Easy, you can stay in Qingning Chamber of Commerce to help Li Qingning. If you have any other problems, you can come to me for help. But don’t expect me to stand up for you in everything. I don’t want to talk to Fang Jian if necessary. Only then did he have a head-on conflict with Lu Anping and the others."

Yang Lu naturally had no objection to this.

Seeing that Xu Yannan had no other instructions, Yang Lu asked the last key question: "Master, in your opinion, who will be the winner of the new generation of cultivation social security system?"

Yang Lu suddenly asked about this, of course it was not without purpose.

This mainly involves the issue of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce’s alignment.

Since the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system was a conspiracy planned by Li Qingyang from beginning to end, Li Qingyang would eventually use it as a bargaining chip to exchange interests with a big shot of the Wuliang Sword Sect. And who he chooses to make this deal with will directly determine who will receive the new generation of cultivation social security system.

For such an important decision as the reform of Xiuzhen's social security system, it is impossible not to take sides or to wait for the results to come out before taking sides. Even if you insist on not taking a side, others will force you to take a stand. No matter which force takes the lead in reform, it will have an earth-shaking impact on the pattern of Haiya City.

The Qingning Chamber of Commerce must ensure that there are no principled issues when it comes to taking sides.

However, Xu Yannan did not answer the question directly, but pointedly said: "Not every game will have a final winner, and everyone may be a loser. What do you think?"

Hearing this answer, Yang Lu was slightly stunned.

The top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect are not fools;

If Li Qingyang was not sure of helping a certain big shot win, then how could that big shot exchange such an important bargaining chip with Li Qingyang for the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank?

Yang Lu weighed the possible consequences of Li Qingyang's support for Lin Jianxing, Mo Yunlan, and Cheng Shuying. Suddenly his pupils shrank slightly and he suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean! President Li's empty-handed trick is really a good plan! "

Seeing that Yang Lu understood what he meant, Xu Yannan couldn't help laughing: "In this world, business without capital is always the most profitable! President Li once told me that the entire Lingshi Reserve Bank and Xiuzhen Finance The supervisory committee is actually the result of President Lu’s empty hand.”

After getting the answer he wanted, Yang Lu was ready to stand up and leave.

Although Xu Yannan had no ill intentions towards him, he was a bit too smart. Yang Lu always had to be careful when talking to his master, for fear of saying something he shouldn't have said. In comparison, Miss Li is more suitable to get along with. No matter what nonsense she says, the neurotic Li Qingning will not take it seriously.

"By the way, I have something else I need to hand over to you!" Yang Lu was about to turn around and leave, but Xu Yannan seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped him directly, "Although this thing has no practical use, it is your honor after all. .”

As he spoke, he took out a golden badge similar to a brooch from his desk and threw it to Yang Lu.

The shape of this golden badge is very peculiar. It seems to be made up of two golden rhombus patterns overlapping each other. It is similar to the Chinese classical jewelry "Fang Sheng", and there is a faint flash of light on the surface.

Yang Lu was no stranger to this emblem. It was the official logo of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Almost every Lingshi coin was engraved with a similar pattern.

Playing with this golden badge, Yang Lu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master, what is this?"

Xu Yannan explained with a smile: "This is a medal awarded by the Lingshi Reserve Bank to the authors of papers who have made significant academic contributions. On the back of the medal is the author's pen name engraved with spiritual power by President Li himself."

Yang Lu quickly turned over the golden badge to the back, and sure enough he found a few small words engraved on it——

Meishan Swordsman

Seeing this strange name, Yang Lu scratched his head and said, "Master, are you mistaken? I don't have such a pen name!"

Faced with Yang Lu's questioning, Xu Yannan showed a rare look of embarrassment: "Ahem, Meishan Swordsman is the pen name of your senior brother Chen Ping. I didn't expect that incompetent guy would hire a gunman, let alone This article actually made President Li take it so seriously. When I found out that this article was written by you, President Li had already engraved the badge himself!"

"Can't we just change the name again?" Hearing this explanation, Yang Lu couldn't laugh or cry, "Meishan Swordsman... this name doesn't sound good to me!"

This time Xu Yannan shook his head very resolutely, pointed to the flashing aura on the surface of the badge and said: "This badge contains the magic mark of Mr. Li, and no one can tamper with it except Mr. Li himself. I have already contacted the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Wang Ziwei, the assistant to the president, wanted to ask him to help him make a new badge, but he was told that Li Xing was about to run out of longevity and could no longer use his magic power at will. It was impossible to sacrifice his remaining longevity for a medal. "

Yang Lu had heard of the concept of spell mark.

It's a bit like a hybrid of a cultivator's personal signature and phone number. Each cultivator has his own unique spell mark. Usually if cultivators want to send teleportation spells to each other, they must attach the other party's spell mark after the teleportation spell to ensure accurate delivery.

Cultivators who are familiar with each other will exchange their spell marks with each other, which is a bit like people on earth exchanging business cards with each other after meeting.

The magic mark carved by the cultivator himself is similar to the personal signature in ancient times on earth. It is used to prove the identity of the signer. Li Qingyang left his own magic mark on the back of this emblem, which is equivalent to stamping on the badge. Got a personal medal.

Even if the Lingshi Reserve Bank made a new badge with Yang Lu's name on it, without Li Qingyang's magic mark, it would be equivalent to a report without the leader's signature and would not have any legal effect.

At this point, Xu Yannan was inevitably a little embarrassed: "I have already told Chen Ping that he is not allowed to use the pen name Meishan Swordsman to talk nonsense in the future. I will give you this pen name temporarily. If you don't like it, you can use it in the future." You can change it to another pen name, anyway, no one stipulates that cultivators can only have one pen name."

Yang Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can I choose not to have it?"

However, Xu Yannan said seriously: "The Lingshi Reserve Bank's Academic Contribution Award is not issued every year. This is an honor recognized by the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Wear it on your body, no matter where you are in the Jiuzhou cultivation world, others They will all look up to you, its role may sometimes be more important than the spirit stone coins!"

Hearing that this thing was so effective in showing off, Yang Lu quickly carefully put it into his arms.

Meishan Swordsman is Meishan Swordsman!

This badge is pinned to the back of the chest, and the four words "Meishan Swordsman" cannot be seen by outsiders. What's more, the articles Chen Ping has written before are all academic garbage that has no attention. No one knows that this name has ever been used. He used it. After expressing his gratitude to Xu Yannan again, Yang Lu left the Lingshi Reserve Bank office.
