"It's not as easy as you say," Jia Musen shook his head helplessly. Looking at the contract in his hand, he said with a troubled expression, "The Yue Clan is not easy to talk to. I think … it would be good enough if we could keep our bottom line and get a secret manual. As for the highest contract, I don't even dare to think about it."
Jia Musen was usually a man of few words, so he had no confidence in his negotiation skills at all. Moreover, he did not have as many connections as Jia Tuyao did. At this moment, he was completely at a loss and did not know where to start.
"What are you afraid of? With me around, you can be at ease. At that time, not only will you sign the contract properly, I will also give you a lot of additional conditions. "Xiao Chen's tone was as relaxed as if he was buying vegetables in a market.
"Yes, I believe you." Jia Musen nodded. He trusted Xiao Chen very much. Since Xiao Chen had said so, there would definitely be no problem.
Xiao Chen smiled, stretched his body and said, "Let's go. There is nothing to study about the contract. Bring me to the Jia Mansion for a stroll. I haven't really strolled around since I came here. After we finish strolling around, we will go and kill the Yue Clan's people. "
Jia Musen agreed. He did not think too much and left the meeting room with Xiao Chen.
When he reached the door, Xiao Chen unintentionally turned his head back and saw Jia Shou Luo and Jia Rijing smiling evilly. They were chatting with Jia Renzhong with their arms around each other's shoulders. Jia Renzhong's face was red, as if he was answering Jia Shou Luo's question.
Seeing this scene, although Xiao Chen was a little curious and surprised that these two fellows from different factions would join hands, he did not intend to use his divine sense to eavesdrop. He just kept an eye on them and walked out.
"Father, Jia Musen and Xiao Chen seem to be quite confident. Could it be that they have someone supporting them in secret?" Seeing Jia Musen and Xiao Chen leave indifferently, Jia Tuyao could not help but be a little puzzled and asked suspiciously.
"Tsk, with just these two bastards, who can support them?" Jia Yutou snorted and snorted. "Yesterday, he cheated and won the match by cheating. Today's match was a random draw. He didn't know who his partner was beforehand. Besides, even if he knew who his partner was, with me around, he still had no advantage at all! Alright, you don't have to worry so much! "
From his point of view, Xiao Chen and Jia Musen simply didn't have any competitive edge. On the contrary, Jia Huoyan's threat was relatively greater. This was because Jia Yubian controlled the Heavenly Jade Mine. Although he had lost some of his influence, his accumulated prestige still existed. He still had a lot of authority over his business partners.
Jia Tuyao responded with an "Oh", then rubbed his nose. He didn't pay any more attention to Jia Musen and the others, but focused his attention on the group of people surrounding Jia Renzhong.
Jia Yutou pondered for a while, then abruptly said, "Tuyao, you wait here, I'll help you arrange things, so that the signing of the contract will be smoother!"
Jia Yutou thought for a while and still felt that he had to show up and communicate with those guests, so that they would do him a favor. On the one hand, his son could win the match with the highest contract, and on the other hand, he could indirectly make the guests give the other contestants a hard time.
"Alright." Jia Tuyao responded. Seeing Jia Yutou walk out of the door and walk towards the reception room, he turned around and saw Jia Rijing walking towards him. He walked up to her and asked, "How is it? Did you find out anything? Do you know which sect the others are going to talk with? "
"Young master Tuyao, I've just asked around. Jia Huoyan's people are pretty tight-lipped, so I haven't found out who they are going to talk with yet. However, I've secretly seen the contract in Jia Renzhong's hand. This kid is quite lucky, he actually got to exchange spirit jades for natural treasures, which is the easiest item. What a lucky kid!" said Jia Rijing with an envious look.
Just now, he was sent by Jia Tuyao to inquire about the contents of the contracts of Jia Huoyan and the others. However, Jia Shou Lei was obviously on guard against him, and also wanted to inquire about the items of the contracts of Jia Huoyan and the others. Both of them chatted back and forth for a while, but both of them found that they couldn't gain any advantage. Therefore, they unanimously decided to first target Jia Renzhong, who was alone, and then fight with their own strengths.
After Jia Rijing and Jia Shou Lei reached an agreement, they went to Jia Renzhong to inquire about the information. Jia Renzhong was usually a lone wolf, and lacked experience in communicating with others. Although Jia Renzhong and Jia Shou Lei were vigilant against them, Jia Shou Lei and Jia Shou Lei still managed to get some information about Jia Renzhong and Jia Shou Lei.
"Damn it, why does this kid always have this kind of luck?" Jia Tuyao murmured, took a few steps back and forth, then said to Ji Yunshu, "In this case, you go find my father as soon as possible. He should be meeting with the leaders of the other sects. You tell him about Jia Renzhong's task, and ask him to 'deal with' them. Let's deal with the partners of this kid first!"
He also knew that Jia Huoyan and the others were not that easy to fool, so he could only pick the weakest ones first.
"Alright, I'll go right now!" Jia Rijing nodded, and couldn't wait to run to the reception room.
Jia Tuyao threw a glance at Jia Huoyan and the others, snorted coldly, put away his contracts, sat down on the other side, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
An hour later, all the contestants and helpers walked into the reception room on time. Jia Jinyan had been waiting here for quite a while. Seeing that everyone had arrived, his two trusted subordinates walked over and slowly closed the door of the reception room.
In the spacious reception room, a few large tables had been placed on each table, and on each table was an eye-catching number plate. Sitting across each table was a man dressed in ancient clothes. Obviously, he was invited by Jia Jinyan to participate in the negotiation competition.
In order not to disturb the others during the negotiation, all the tables had been separated by screens. Although it was a bit crowded, it was well hidden. Therefore, even if there were any small movements in private, or the final decision of which bottom line to use to sign the contract, no one would see it.
However, Jia Yubian and Jia Yutou were not in the reception room. Both of them were elders of the family, one was in charge of the mine, and the other was familiar with the family's connections. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they had to wait in another place.
After all, it was their sons who were participating in the competition, and Jia Jinyan was supervising them on the spot. Therefore, they couldn't go too far, and could only wait outside for the final result.
"The competition officially starts now. Everyone, please sit at the corresponding table according to the number plate marked on the envelope you drew!" At Jia Jinyan's command, all the contestants took their seats one after another. After exchanging a few words with the guests, both sides started to talk amiably.
The person who was negotiating with Jia Musen was a Yue Clan member named Yue Lingchuan. He was about fifty or sixty years old, and his position was one of the Yue Clan's Chief Stewards. Usually, he was mainly in charge of discussing matters of cooperation with other martial arts sects. Almost all of the Yue Clan's resource allocation had to be approved by him. It could be said that he held great power, and his power was monstrous.
