Anyway, even if it dragged to the last moment, he had a way to make Yue Lingchuan sign what he should and what he shouldn't sign!
"Xiao Chen … That's a good name! I'm not afraid to say it as a joke, but this old man has read someone's fortune before and it's quite accurate. Xiao Chen, your name matches your looks. It looks like you'll definitely be successful in the future! That … Coincidentally, this old man knows the daughter of an old friend. Why don't I … "Yue Lingchuan seemed to be a chatterbox as he blabbered on and on.
Jia Musen glanced at Xiao Chen, his eyes filled with helplessness. It was as if he was apologetic that Jia Musen had been dragged into this. Xiao Chen shook his head in consolation, indicating that there was no need to worry. He had a solution.
Just as the two of them were thinking of a way to interrupt Yue Lingchuan's nonsense, the Jia Family's servants served lunch.
"Oh? It's time to eat! " Yue Lingchuan finally stopped talking when he saw the food. He called out to Xiao Chen, "Come come come, Xiao Chen, don't just stand there like a fool. Sit down and let's eat together! As for the contract, we can talk about it after eating! "
The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. He couldn't be bothered to mock Jia Musen anymore. He sat down with a cold face and picked up their bowls together with Jia Musen. They started wolfing down the food on the table. The two of them were obviously thinking the same thing. Neither of them intended to leave any for Yue Lingchuan!
However, to their surprise, Yue Lingchuan didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to lecture Xiao Chen and Jia Musen about how they shouldn't eat too fast and that young people should chew slowly. He even pointed at the two of them with his chopsticks from time to time. Then, he slowly ate his rice, ignoring the murderous gazes of the two people in front of him.
After finishing the last grain of rice, Yue Lingchuan let out a long burp. He took out a box of toothpicks out of nowhere and took out a tobacco pipe. He picked his teeth and smoked as if there was no one else around him. He even looked like he was enjoying himself.
Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered with him anymore and pretended not to see him. However, Jia Musen almost exploded in anger. He was already pissed off by Yue Lingchuan's lecture. He didn't expect this old man to go even further! Tell me, what kind of teeth did you pick out? Wasn't it just a bowl of white rice? How could it stuff his teeth? This was too f * cking unreal!
"Reporting, Grandpa. I have completed the contract and obtained the best benefits for the Jia Family. Please take a look!" Xiao Chen was watching Yue Lingchuan put on an act with a faint smile on his face. Suddenly, he heard Jia Tuyao shout from a short distance away. His voice was especially loud and he couldn't hide his pride. It was as if he was a victor showing off his spoils of war, as if he was afraid that the people present couldn't hear him.
"Well done. You can go and have a rest! Let's wait for the others to finish their matches, then we'll give a unified score! "Jia Jinyan nodded in satisfaction.
In fact, he also knew that there was something fishy going on. Jia Yutou must have given him a warning beforehand. However, he did not expose him. After all, the result was the most important. As long as it could bring benefits to the family, any method was worth a try!
Jia Tuyao proudly stood up, cast a disdainful glance at the room where Jia Musen and Jia Huoyan were, then shook his head and walked to the armchair nearby, crossed his legs, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the announcement of the final result.
Not long after, Jia Shilei and Jia Rijing also signed the contract. Although they didn't get the highest contract, they settled for the second best and successfully completed the negotiation in the second tier. They got two points.
On the other side, Jia Huoyan didn't have it so smooth. Originally, with his eloquence, he got along well with Yue Lingchuan. However, when it came to the contract, Yue Lingchuan would inexplicably put forward some conditions that he couldn't accept. After arguing back and forth many times, they still couldn't reach an agreement.
In desperation, Jia Huoyan could only choose to compromise with Yue Lingchuan and successfully signed the contract with the second tier. However, the points he could get dropped from the original three points to two points.
His two subordinates were even more miserable. Whether it was Jia Quushu or Jia Shou Lei, they were suppressed by Yue Lingchuan and didn't have any right to speak. In the end, they could only obediently sign the contract with the bottom line. They each got one point and handed over the contract resentfully. They sat on the side with a bitter face, waiting for the final punishment.
Jia Huoyan, who was extremely depressed, knew clearly that Jia Yutou must have played a role in this. However, he didn't have any evidence, so he couldn't complain to his grandfather.
In addition, looking at his grandfather's attitude yesterday, it seemed that he had tacitly agreed to the little tricks outside the competition. Even if he went to complain, the final result would probably be nothing. Jia Huoyan thought about it and could only choose to accept his fate.
After a few hours, only Jia Musen and Jia Renzhong had not completed the contract. Yue Lingchuan kept on talking about all sorts of things, but he didn't mention the contract. Xiao Chen took the opportunity to eavesdrop on Jia Renzhong's situation. The situation wasn't optimistic either. The person he was negotiating with was extremely unyielding, not willing to give in even a single step.
The contract in Jia Renzhong's hands was originally the simplest. According to reason, as long as they had a good chat, it wouldn't be impossible for them to sign the contract with the highest standard. However, the other party immediately rejected this plan and even raised many crafty, unreasonable and unimaginable demands.
No matter how stupid Jia Renzhong was, he already understood that he had definitely been tricked by Jia Shou Lei and Jia Rijing.
He could be considered to be quick-witted, immediately giving up on the idea of getting three points. He only continuously fought for the possibility of getting two points. However, looking at the current situation, the other party at most only wanted to sign the contract with the bottom line. Otherwise, they would give up on the cooperation. There wasn't even any room for discussion.
"Xiao Sen!" Feeling that the time was right, Yue Lingchuan finally started to cut to the chase, "I feel that this contract doesn't seem to be very beneficial to the Yue Clan. After all, the Yue Clan had spent a lot of manpower and resources to obtain these three secret martial arts manuals that you want. Isn't a mere hundred pieces of Spiritual Jades a little too little? Let me give you a suggestion. If you can increase it to two hundred pieces of Spiritual Jades, I can bear with the pain and part with them on account of our long years of cooperation. "
"Two hundred pieces of Spiritual Jades?!" Jia Musen was stunned, his face was full of awkwardness, "Uncle Yue, isn't this a little inappropriate? You see, our Jia Clan only wants the handwritten copies of the secret martial arts manuals, not the original copies. Your price tag is too high. "
"You can't say it like that. Think about it, these two hundred pieces of Spiritual Jades can only allow two people to enter the Revered Realm. Moreover, the Yue Clan will have to bear a huge risk. If these two people don't come out, wouldn't it be a huge loss? " Yue Lingchuan shook his head and patiently guided him, "Moreover, two hundred pieces of Spiritual Jades to your Jia Clan is just a drop in the ocean. You can just find a few workers to dig in the mines and you will have it. Why are you so calculative with me? "
