"Tut, tut, tut, dog bites dog, a mouthful of fur. Mu Sen, I finally understand why you ran away from home!" Xiao Chen sighed, "In this kind of family, even brothers can fight each other shamelessly. It's so dirty!"
"Who the hell are you calling shameless?" Jia Huoyan, who was already irritated by Xiao Chen, jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointed at Xiao Chen, and screamed.
"Oh, if you didn't jump out, I would have forgotten! Jia Huoyan, now it's time to witness a miracle! " Xiao Chen clapped his hands, took Jia Musen's bag of spiritual jades, put it in front of Jia Huoyan, pointed at the sauces on the table, and said with a smirk, "Come on, eat all these spiritual jades! Ketchup, curry sauce, you can choose any! Hey, don't leave so soon! Everyone here heard it, are you going to go back on your words? "
"Humph!" Hearing this, Jia Huoyan immediately lost his confidence. He shrunk his head, ignored Jia Huoyan's attempt to stop him, turned around, and left in a huff.
Jia Yubian had suffered a great loss at Jia Yutou's side, and his complexion didn't look too good. He ordered Jia Quushi and Jia Shou Lie to carry the collected spirit jades into the carriage, then fiercely glared at Jia Musen and Jia Tuyao, got into the carriage and drove away.
While the crowd was quarreling, Jia Renzhong had quietly left the Heavenly Jade Mine. Xiao Chen wanted to talk to him, but by the time he thought about it, Jia Renzhong had already disappeared.
"Mu Sen, Xiao Chen, you did a good job. Congratulations, continue to work hard tomorrow!" Jia Tuyao's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. He patted Jia Musen's shoulder, pretending to encourage him, and then hurriedly left with Jia Yutou and his men.
Jia Musen and Xiao Chen looked at each other and smiled. They both saw that although Jia Tuyao was unwilling, he couldn't do anything to them.
Since the family leader had spoken in front of everyone, Jia Tuyao dared not to raise any objection. Although he didn't want Jia Musen to win, he couldn't blatantly raise his objection, because what had happened to Jia Huoyan was still vivid in his mind! Therefore, he could only think of other ways in the following matches.
The two of them leisurely returned to Jia Musen's courtyard. After taking a bath, Xiao Chen casually ate something to fill his stomach before he went to look for a few female cultivators for dual cultivation.
Xiao Chen described today's competition to them. When he talked about the highlights, the girls covered their mouths or giggled. After chatting, everyone immersed themselves in cultivation.
Xiao Chen still didn't have sex with them. He just simply cultivated. After all, he didn't know what was going to happen next, so he didn't want to waste too much energy.
At eight o 'clock the next morning, all the participants of the second match gathered in the conference room, waiting for Jia Jinyan to announce the content of the match.
"Today's second trial is mainly to test everyone's adaptability." Seeing that all the participants had arrived, Jia Jinyan calmly introduced, "In this trial, you have to facilitate a cooperation project between our family and other martial arts sects within one day. Every contract is marked with the family's bottom line. If you choose to sign a contract below the bottom line to achieve your goal, then the contract will be invalid. Do you understand?"
Today's competition was slightly more complicated than yesterday's. Everyone was silent for a while, and no one nodded. Jia Jinyan was not in a hurry, and quietly waited.
"Grandpa, I have a question. If everyone spends the same amount of time and signs the contract below the bottom line, how will the winner be determined?" Jia Musen thought for a while, raised his hand and asked.
"Whoever can get more benefits for the family under the same conditions will be the winner." Jia Jinyan seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question, so he unhurriedly explained, "The bottom line marked on the contract is divided into several levels. The one who gets the most benefits for the family will get three points, the one who gets the least benefits will get two points, the one who signs the contract below the bottom line will get one point, and the one who signs the contract below the bottom line will not be allowed to sign the contract, and will directly fail."
Jia Musen nodded. It seemed that this competition didn't have much to do with time. As long as the family could get the most benefits within one day, it would be fine.
"Is there anyone else who has a question?" Jia Jinyan asked again. Seeing that no one had any objection, he opened his mouth and said, "Well, next, let's draw lots. First, we'll draw the negotiation partners, then we'll draw the cooperation projects. These two projects are random, and you'll draw them according to seniority!"
Two simple wooden boxes were placed on the conference table, each containing a few letters. From the appearance, there was no difference at all. Jia Huoyan took the lead and walked over. After studying for a while, he found that there was no shortcut, so he hesitated and picked a letter from each of the two wooden boxes. Then, he returned to his seat, opened it, and read it.
Next, it was Jia Tuyao and Jia Musen's turn. After they had finished drawing lots and returned to their seats, it was the turn of the collateral descendants. When the last Jia Renzhong got the letter, he immediately put away the wooden boxes containing the letters and took them away.
It was not that there were many descendants of the Jia family, but for the sake of fairness, Jia Jinyan deliberately put more letters in order to avoid the advantages and disadvantages of choosing first and last.
After drawing a letter, everyone opened it and read it. However, except for Jia Tuyao and Jia Renzhong, the others didn't look very good.
The reason was very simple. The Jia family relied on the Heaven Jade Mine, and usually, its main function in the martial arts world was to supply spirit jades in exchange for resources. Therefore, the cooperation content was nothing more than exchanging spirit jades for natural treasures, cultivation manuals, weapons, spirit beasts, and so on.
Regarding this kind of competition, Jia Tuyao was surely very confident. His father, Jia Yutou, was usually in charge of contacting other sects and families. Therefore, Jia Tuyao had a wide network of friends. Therefore, it was not a problem for him to form a cooperation within the shortest span of time.
As far as Jia Tuyao was concerned, this competition was simply tailor-made for him! If he didn't win the first place, it would be absolutely intolerable!
As for Jia Renzhong, there was a hint of joy on his face. The contract he had drawn was the simplest one among all the types. As long as he talked with the partners normally, he would almost certainly succeed. Therefore, he was naturally a little happy.
"Next, I'll give you some time to prepare. Familiarize yourself with the key points of cooperation and negotiation skills." Jia Jinyan took in everyone's expressions and calmly said a few words, "I've already invited the people in charge of contacting the clans and sects. One hour from now, all of you will gather in the reception hall on time!"
Glancing at the crowd, Jia Jinyan left the conference room with his subordinates and went to make preparations.
"Mu Sen, what's the content of your contract?" Xiao Chen craned his neck to take a look, and found that it was written on the contract that they would exchange spirit jades for martial arts manuals. He patted Mu Sen's shoulder and said casually, "This is quite simple! One hundred spirit jades for three handwritten martial arts manuals, it can be negotiated in minutes. Don't worry, the first place is definitely yours! "
