The Middle Island Pier became lively instantly. Countless goods were unloaded from the treasure ship and then sent to their respective owners' homes. For a time, the central area became crowded and noisy.
Lin Yi sensed the changes outside and released his Divine Senses. He found that Wei Shenjin, Hou Guanqi, Cai Zhongyang, and others had already gotten off the ship and were saying goodbye to Okuda Dam. So, he didn't go over to join in the fun. It was not too late to say hello to them when it was quieter.
In addition to these people, Lin Yi also saw Hong Zhong. This time, he didn't stay in the north island. Instead, he went directly to the Middle Island. Maybe he was going to the headquarters of the Hong Chamber of Commerce to do something.
After they got out of the pier, they separated. Cai Zhongyang and others had a lot of goods to deal with. Only Wei Shenjin was not in a hurry to return to the Snow Sword School, so he went directly to the Tiandan Pavilion. He probably wanted to visit Lin Yi first before going back.
Shang Yuhua was originally with him, but there were a lot of things in the Universal Chamber of Commerce. In order to help her father, she had to temporarily separate from Wei Shenjin. Fortunately, they had returned to the Middle Island. If they wanted to see each other in the future, there would be many opportunities, so they were not in a hurry.
After a short while, Wei Shenjin arrived at the Tiandan Pavilion. Tian Chan directly asked him to go upstairs to see Lin Yi. They were all on the same side, so there was no need to worry.
Seeing Lin Yi, Wei Shenjin immediately smiled and hurriedly walked forward with his hands folded, bowed, and said, "Boss, I'm back!"
"Well, don't be so polite to me. Look at your happy face. You must have a good relationship with Shang Yuhua, right?" Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand to signal Wei Shenjin to sit down and talk.
"Thank you, Boss!" Wei Shenjin blushed and thanked him sincerely. Then he turned around and sat down.
After experiencing the failure of previous relationships, Wei Shenjin cherished Shang Yuhua from the bottom of his heart, so he was even more grateful for Lin Yi's help.
"It has nothing to do with me. This is your fate. Shang Yuhua is a good girl. Treat her well and don't let her down!" Lin Yi reminded him with a smile. Wei Shenjin was like a different person compared to before. He believed that he and Shang Yuhua would have a bright future.
Wei Shenjin solemnly nodded in agreement and then asked about Han Jingjing's situation. Lin Yi was not interested in this topic, so he casually said a few words and stopped.
Knowing that the Spirit Gathering Branch had failed to awaken Han Jingjing, Wei Shenjin immediately felt a little upset. He knew how much effort Lin Yi had put in to obtain the Spirit Gathering Branch.
"Did everything go well on the way back? Did anything happen? "Lin Yi didn't want the atmosphere to be heavy, so he changed the topic.
Wei Shenjin thought for a moment and said, "Nothing major happened. It was calm along the way, but I heard that Shopkeeper Hong and Wei Jiading had some small verbal conflicts. This time, Shopkeeper Hong came to Zhongdao, maybe he will be targeted by Wei Jiading."
"Wei Jiading is just a clown. It's nothing great. After all, Brother Hong is a member of the Hong family. I don't think he will have any problems." Lin Yi smiled faintly and didn't care too much.
Lin Yi didn't take a mere Wei Jiading seriously at all. Although he was only the honorary vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, in terms of influence, perhaps ten Wei Jiading were not as good as Lin Yi.
No Chamber of Commerce would offend a Second-level Mystic Stage Alchemist for a vice president. With the relationship between Lin Yi and Hong Zhong, as long as the senior management of the Hong Chamber of Commerce were not stupid, they would know how to treat Hong Zhong.
Unfortunately, Wei Jiading didn't seem to recognize this fact. As soon as he returned to Zhongdao, he began to visit some of the real power figures of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. The high-tech products of the Central Chamber of Commerce that he bought from the north island were used to make friends with these people.
While sending out a large number of gifts, Wei Jiading also hinted that he wanted to impeach Hong Zhong. As a strong supporter of the second branch of the Hong family, it seemed logical to deal with Hong Zhong, a supporter of the first branch, so the people of the Hong Chamber of Commerce did not find it strange.
Originally, they were neutral. Under the premise that it did not affect the overall situation, they could support whoever gave more benefits. Since they had received benefits from Wei Jiading, it was not a big deal to show a little support.
Although there was no clear statement, Wei Jiading was already satisfied. This time, dealing with Hong Zhong, in his opinion, was already in the bag. Now he had to strike the iron while it was hot, hold a meeting as soon as possible, and get rid of Hong Zhong completely, so as not to cause trouble.
Before the sky turned dark, Wei Jiading, who was jumping up and down, completed the alliance in his mind. He immediately called for an emergency meeting in his capacity as the Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. The topic of the meeting was to remove Hong Zhong from all his duties and launch a thorough investigation on him.
"Everyone! When Hong Zhong was the shopkeeper of the north island, he colluded with outsiders, engaged in malpractice for personal gains, and embezzled the interests of the Hong Chamber of Commerce into his own. If we don't get rid of this black sheep, how can we let the Hong Chamber of Commerce continue to develop? " Wei Jiading stood in the conference room, waving his arms with an impassioned expression.
The senior management of the Hong Chamber of Commerce who attended the meeting listened and watched expressionlessly, and no one expressed their opinion for the time being.
"Not only that, but Hong Zhong also colluded with outsiders and threatened me, the vice president of the headquarters, with force. This is outrageous! I'm not a vengeful person. If he could bring benefits to our Hong Chamber of Commerce, I wouldn't be calculative about such a small matter. However, his traitorous behavior not only greatly damaged the interests of our Hong Chamber of Commerce, but he also ruined our reputation. I think that even if Hong Zhong were to be stripped of all his duties, it wouldn't be able to make up for his mistake! "Wei Jiading continued his performance. He was even more unscrupulous in his accusations against Hong Zhong.
Anyway, he had communicated with most of the senior management. As long as more than half of them supported him, he could make Hong Zhong completely unable to make a comeback. Wei Jiading felt that he had already won, and his eyes were full of disdain and complacency as he looked at Hong Zhong.
"Hong Zhong! What else do you want to say? " After finishing his long speech, Wei Jiading stared at Hong Zhong with a sneer. Although he was asking, his tone was no different from a conclusion!
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. I, Hong Zhong, am upright and have a clear conscience. If you want to dismiss me, you don't have to talk so much nonsense. Show me the evidence, and I'll leave by myself! " Hong Zhong smiled indifferently and looked at Wei Jiading disdainfully. His words were resolute, and he had an imposing manner without being angry.
