"Boss Shu, we have brought this week's goods …"
In front of a bustling shop in the City of Immortals, a fat middle-aged businessman bent over and rubbed his hands. He looked at the teenager in front of him with a flattering look. Beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, but he did not dare to wipe them.
The teenager in front of the businessman glanced at him lightly, then turned his eyes to the carriage behind the businessman and could not help but smile.
"Master Tan, the weekly supply we agreed on should be more than this, right?"
The businessman hurriedly complained, "Boss Shu, you don't know, I also have my own difficulties, recently …"
The teenager waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, it's useless to say it. I don't need to know what difficulties you have. As a businessman, you can have difficulties at any time. I just want to ask, what if what you do is different from what you say? "
There was more cold sweat on Master Tan's face, but he couldn't speak.
"I'm just a newcomer on this street, and as a senior, Master Tan should know better than me that the most important thing in a businessman's business is integrity."
The teenager with a particularly tender face unceremoniously scolded the businessman who was several times older than him, which soon attracted onlookers on the street.
The fat face of the fat businessman, Master Tan, turned red and purple. Obviously, he was extremely ashamed and angry, but he didn't even have the courage to look up at the other party … He could only sigh inwardly that in this City of Immortals, the new generation really surpassed the old.
As the teenager said, he was just a newcomer. Not to mention in this street, he was also a newcomer in the entire business circle. He had only been in the business for a few months at most. Even three months ago, his shop was still in a remote corner of the City of Immortals. But now, he had gained a foothold in the bustling street and even had the courage to scold him.
The reason was very simple: he was stronger than him.
The world of businessmen was the same as that of cultivators. They also paid attention to strength. It was just that the strength of cultivators was reflected in cultivation, while the strength of businessmen was reflected in money. This teenager was richer than him, and he also controlled his money-making lifeline. Thus, no matter how rude he was to him, he could only endure it.
How could a businessman who had been in the business for a few months be more powerful than Master Tan who had been in business for decades?
It was very simple. Because more than a month ago, the businessmen in the City of Immortals set up a huge gambling house. In that game, some people won and some people lost. The winner moved from a remote small shop to a bustling central street, while the loser had to endure the shame of being rude.
The source of the gambling house came from the huge divergence of the businessmen in the City of Immortals in predicting the future. The source of the gambling house was the huge divergence of the merchants in the City of Immortals. At that time, it was the most difficult time for the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals in the Grand Competition. Those who could previously call the wind and summon the rain were silent, such as Daoist He Tu, Daoist Master Non-Phase, and the others. They had no desire to come forward to reverse the situation. Coupled with the fanning of Heavenly Book Building and other sects, the confidence of many people below them was greatly shaken.
The most. The merchants from Tian Nine Nine Nine Sect., and Nine Nine Zhou, of, Ims. of Nine of Sect of me of him., of of him of Chen of Sect. However, everyone had different opinions. Some people still had confidence in the Wanxian League, while others felt that the momentum was gone. The largest and most powerful Mysterious Sky Mansion, because of the struggle in the upper class, maintained a neutral stance in this debate, which completely failed to resolve the differences … Thus, the differences led to contradictions, and contradictions led to wars. The war of the merchants would not be a bloodbath, but it was equally tragic.
In short, Master Tan, who had a deep foundation among the merchants, for various reasons, chose the pessimistic side. And then, together with many of his peers, he completely fell. Hundreds of years of accumulation and decades of hard work were all turned into running water.
Of course, Master Tan was a little luckier than most of his peers. At least he could still survive, while many of his peers had been exposed in the wilderness, which harmed their families.
"Boss Shu, please give me one more week. Right now, I really can't come up with the goods …"
—
The conversation at the door didn't last long. A large carriage blocked the door, and the business of the shop could not continue. In the end, Boss Shu didn't force Master Tan to his death. It was just that after muddling through this obstacle, Master Tan seemed to have shed a few layers of skin. In his heart, he just cursed that this young man from the marketplace was much more ruthless than many of the older seniors. After experiencing a defeat, he had little capital left, but he still had the possibility of making a comeback. However, if he let this young man exploit him a few more times, perhaps he wouldn't be able to make a comeback in this life.
On the other side, the young man who returned to the shop said a few words to the shop assistant and then entered the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, he put down his dignified expression and shouted at a proud and aloof figure under the shade of a tree in the backyard.
"Haha, Dead Face, did you see that just now? Just now, I, your father, released my domineering aura and easily beheaded that Dead Face … "
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice interrupted him, "A monkey wearing a crown, a fox assuming the tiger's might."
"Haha, Dead Face, you are jealous that I have a cheerful personality. I can preside over the work outside, while you, a gloomy person, can only stay alone."
"Humph!"
Dead Face coldly humphed, and the temperature of the whole backyard plummeted. Shu Si shivered and quickly stopped talking.
After getting along with Dead Face for a few months, he had figured out his temper. Don't look at his usually gloomy face, it didn't matter if he occasionally flirted with him. However, when he coldly humphed, it meant that he was impatient and must stop before going too far.
Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Shu Si actually respected him very much. In just a few months, he had changed from a penniless street punk to a cultivator who officially embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, as well as a hot big boss in the City of Immortals. Of course, this was not because of his own ability.
More than a month ago, the big gambling in the City of Immortals reversed the fate of many people. However, at that time, Shu Si was not qualified to participate in the gambling. His small shop business was booming, but it was still not on the table.
It was Dead Face who inexplicably took out a bunch of property deeds and several sealed mustard seed bags. He asked Shu Si to join the gambling and bet heavily on the reversal of the Wanxian League.
At that time, Shu Si wanted to say that with just a few pieces of broken paper and a few broken bags in his hands, those local tycoons, who were as rich as a country, would not put them in their eyes. Moreover, the gambling was very meticulous. It was not like comparing the size of a casino, so how could he join just by saying a few words?
However, when he really found someone with those things, he was immediately treated solemnly. Not only did he see a large circle of high-level big shots, but someone enthusiastically sent him a large stack of documents, all of which were related to the gambling. Shu Si signed all of them in confusion. Then, he found that as time went by, the property under his name increased. More and more property deeds were sent to him. Occasionally, some ashen-faced businessmen ran to him and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Until today, Shu Si actually didn't know how the gambling was carried out. When he mingled in the marketplace, the so-called gambling was nothing more than shaking the dice and playing Pai Gow. How could it be so complicated and high-end? However, Shu Si was also clever. He didn't think too much about things that he couldn't understand. Anyway, it was Dead Face who did it. If there was a problem, of course, he would be the one to bear it. He just had to let nature take its course.
With cultivation and wealth, what more could he ask for in life?
"Speaking of which, Dead Face, I don't understand. Not long ago, we just made a lot of money with that Luo Xiao. Why did you suddenly change the requirements and withdraw all the projects related to him … This change is too sudden. That Tan guy was almost forced to death by you."
Dead Face didn't turn his head, "Just do it."
"Of course, I will do it, but at least explain it to me. Am I not your disciple now?"
Dead Face coldly said, "Hehe."
Shu Si knew that the other party was using concise and clear words to say: Your IQ is not enough to understand too complicated a problem. He suddenly felt helpless. Although he had entered Dead Face's sect, he didn't know the name of this sect. Dead Face was very attentive when guiding him in cultivation, but he didn't care about anything other than cultivation … Moreover, his cultivation method was quite strange. It seemed to focus on hiding his tracks, which made him seem sneaky and sneaky.
Of course, Shu Si, who was born in the marketplace, didn't care too much about that. Although he also dreamed of flying on a flying sword, just like Immortal Wang Lu who gave him an immortal fate, he always had to understand reality.
Just as Shu Si was thinking about it, Dead Face spoke again.
"Luo Xiao's value ends here. It's not worth continuing to invest in him."
It was rare that Dead Face was willing to explain. Shu Si quickly raised his spirits and asked, "Even if you don't think highly of him, at least give him some buffer time. Now, in addition to that Tan guy, there are several merchants who are complaining to me …"
Dead Face said, "It's too late to get rid of him. Now, there are many people who see that Luo Xiao's value has been exhausted. It's just that it's difficult to get rid of him for a while, and they still have a fluke mentality, hoping that he can hold on for a while. But when they realize that the situation is irreversible, they will get rid of him even if they have to cut their own flesh. At that time, the situation you have to face will not be as simple as listening to people's complaints. "
After hearing this, Shu Si suddenly showed a look of excitement, "Dead Face, what happened to you today? Why are you so naggy? What's going on with that Luo Xiao? Wasn't the celebration hosted by Immortal Wang Lu a few days ago? I heard many people say that Luo Xiao will have a promising future. "
Dead Face sneered, "If there was no Wang Lu's celebration, I wouldn't dare to conclude that Luo Xiao's value has been exhausted. After all, although he overestimated himself, his strength is still good and can be used as a useful chess piece. But now it seems that Wang Lu doesn't care about this chess piece and doesn't have the patience to play with him. "
Shu Si was confused, but he still accurately grasped one point, "Do you think Wang Lu doesn't like Luo Xiao?"
Dead Face didn't answer, but said, "Next, tell your people to pay attention to Luo Xiao's movements and inform me in time."
Shu Si curiously asked, "Didn't you say that all the projects related to him will be stopped?"
However, Dead Face turned his back and focused on reading a book in his hand, no longer paying attention to Shu Si.
