When the shop assistant inside saw Lin Yi and Shangguan Laner, he immediately greeted them with a smile and bowed respectfully. "Vice President Lin, Miss Shangguan, long time no see. Are you looking for Shopkeeper Hong?"
Lin Yi felt that the shop assistant was a little familiar. He probably knew him before, so he knew his identity at a glance.
"Is Shopkeeper Hong here? If he is, please inform him. "Lin Yi smiled and said gently to the shop assistant.
"Vice President Lin, you're too polite. Shopkeeper Hong is upstairs. He has instructed that if Vice President Lin comes, you can go and look for him directly. There's no need for any notification." The shop assistant turned sideways and respectfully invited them upstairs.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
Shangguan Laner giggled and said, "Little Junior Brother, you have a big face. If I came here, I wouldn't have this kind of treatment. I have to inform before I can see Shopkeeper Hong."
Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "If you are also the honorary Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, you will definitely have this privilege."
That being said, Lin Yi also knew that this was not the case. Hong Zhong valued him completely because of their friendship, not because he was an honorary Vice President. Otherwise, even if there was a Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong would completely ignore him.
"Hahahaha, Miss Shangguan, you are a rare guest. Just come and find me in the future. Let's see who dares to stop you!" Hong Zhong appeared above the stairs. He should know that Lin Yi was here, so he specially came out to greet Lin Yi.
Lin Yi went forward and cupped his fists. He smiled and said, "Brother Hong, long time no see. You are still as elegant as before!"
Hong Zhong came up and pulled Lin Yi's arm. He smiled and said, "You also know that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
"Why is there a punishment? Then I will have to eat and live here every day from now on. " Lin Yi also said with a smile. He and Hong Zhong got along because of interests, but gradually, they became sincere friends. Especially at the last auction in the Far North Island, their relationship quickly warmed up. Now they were close friends.
"Hahahaha, that's the best. I can't even invite you. As long as you are willing to stay here, I can give you the entire Hong Chamber of Commerce in the North Island." Hong Zhong laughed heartily, and then made an inviting gesture to Shangguan Lan'er. As expected of the manager of the North Island of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he treated people impeccably.
Lin Yi and Hong Zhong chatted and laughed as they entered the VIP room. Naturally, someone brought them spirit tea and spirit fruits. Shangguan Lan 'er didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up a spirit fruit and started munching on it. She knew that Lin Yi had something to say to Hong Zhong, so she could only quietly be a foodie.
After chatting casually for a while, Lin Yi asked casually, "Brother Hong, is there a lot of factions in the Hong's Chamber of Commerce?"
Hong Zhong was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Lin, why do you ask this? Did someone in the Hong Chamber of Commerce make things difficult for you? Tell me, I will definitely seek justice for you. "
Lin Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not that serious. It's just that when I went to the Far North Island to participate in the auction, the Zhongdao Hong Chamber of Commerce was led by a vice president named Wei Jiading. When I boarded the ship, I thought that I was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, so I went to greet them, but they ignored me. At that time, I was worried that something had happened to you, causing me to lose my backer in the Hong Chamber of Commerce. "
"Hahahaha, how can I be your backer? With your ability, Brother Lin, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are my backer!" After making a joke, Hong Zhong slowly became serious and said, "Where there are people, there are conflicts. There are naturally many fights for power in the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Although I am a member of the Hong Family, I am not a direct descendant. Moreover, the Hong Family's eldest branch that I support is not strong enough, so it is difficult for me to enter the core."
Lin Yi remembered that Hong Zhong had returned to the Zhongdao headquarters to be the vice president, but in the end, he still came to the North Island. So what he said was true.
"Wei Jiading is also the vice president, but he is not on the same side as me. He is a hardcore supporter of the second branch of the Hong Family and has never been friends with me. Moreover, he is Wei Zhaotong's uncle. Do you think he will treat you well when you greet him?" Hong Zhong shook his head with a bitter smile. Wei Zhaotong used to be the helper he recommended to Lin Yi, but he almost killed Lin Yi, which was really embarrassing.
Lin Yi didn't care. He shrugged casually and said, "I see. But let him be, as long as he doesn't provoke me. By the way, Brother Hong, didn't you prepare anything for the auction in the Far North Island? "
"I still have to go, but I will go with the people of the Zhongdao headquarters. I won't bring anything. There are no good things in the North Island. I may not even be qualified to attend the auction. The main thing is to buy some good things and make them the treasures of the shop. " Hong Zhong laughed at himself. The last auction of that level was the stage for the North Island branch to show off their skills. The main character of this top auction could only be the Zhongdao headquarters. Of course, if someone from the East Island branch also went there, maybe there would be some good things.
After a short pause, Hong Zhong still reminded him, "Brother Lin, don't underestimate Wei Jiading. He is narrow-minded and will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I think he will definitely find a chance to avenge Wei Zhaotong. Even if you are not afraid of him, you have to guard against him."
Lin Yi really didn't care much about Wei Jiading, but he still had to listen to Hong Zhong's kind reminder.
"I know what I'm doing. Brother Hong, don't worry." Lin Yi nodded with a smile and continued, "This time I can go to the Far North Island with you again. We can have a good chat on the way."
It was enough to mention Wei Jiadeng's matter once, so Hong Zhong didn't say anything more. Instead, he smiled and said, "That's right. Luckily, I decided to go with the fleet. If I had ridden an aerial spirit beast, I would have missed this opportunity!"
Lin Yi suddenly remembered that Wei Shenjin and Shang Yuhua might come to ask about the Yang Pole Grass, so he asked casually, "Brother Hong, do you have the Yang Pole Grass here? I have a friend who needs it. I don't know if he has been here before. "
"I haven't seen your friend before, but the Yang Pole Grass is a very rare and precious spirit herb. If I have it here, I can directly auction it in the Far North Island. I can get at least one million or eight hundred thousand spirit jades." Hong Zhong knew about the Yang Pole Grass, but the price he said surprised Lin Yi.
