The Four Links Chamber of Commerce, which had been in dire straits before, had now been refurbished and the number of people working for it had suddenly increased. Nan Tianlong was going in and out of the entrance, welcoming and sending off guests from all over. The Four Links Chamber of Commerce had swept away its decadent trend and business was abnormally prosperous.
Everyone in the town knew. In fact, it wasn't just the people in the town, everyone in the Immortal World knew that the Four Links Chamber of Commerce's current situation was all thanks to one person. That was the Grand Commander of the Immortal Palace's External Affairs, Wu Xiong. It was precisely because of the engagement between Wu Xiong and Mu Tianjiao that the Four Links Chamber of Commerce had undergone earth-shattering changes.
As for the other large Ba Da Chamber of Commerce in the town, it had already been completely exterminated. Not a single person was left. The uprooting of the Eight Links Chamber of Commerce made the other small Chambers of Commerce in the town tremble with fear. When the Four Links Chamber of Commerce declined, there were many people who hit them when they were down, so they all moved out to avoid the brunt. At this point, only the Four Links Chamber of Commerce was left in the town. Even so, the town wasn't deserted, but rather flourished because of the Four Links Chamber of Commerce's rapid rise. The vicissitudes of life, the ups and downs, could be seen from this.
Mu Bing came out of the main hall with a group of flattering people. After letting Nan Tianlong send off the guests, he turned to look at the backyard. His daughter, who had originally taken over the Chamber of Commerce's affairs, had agreed to the engagement with Wu Xiong's matchmaker. Then, she returned the Chamber of Commerce's affairs to him and rarely left the backyard.
Mu Bing had always been apprehensive, vaguely feeling that his daughter didn't like this marriage at all. However, she still forced a smile and agreed to it. Even he couldn't stop it.
At this time, Tao Zhong, who had become Mu Bing's trusted aide, walked over with large strides. He chuckled as he walked over and handed over a flyer. "President, the Immortal Palace is really efficient. The flyer that Eldest Miss wanted to see came in just a few days. They said it was the original flyer that the World Chamber of Commerce distributed in Hallucinatory Immortal City. "
Mu Bing took the flyer and glanced at its contents. He shook his head with a wry smile. "This kid has been causing quite a stir in the Immortal World recently. It can be said that he's in the limelight." He then waved his hand at Tao Zhong. "Go help Tianlong greet the guests! I will personally deliver this to you. If there are any unimportant guests looking for me, just tell them I'm not free today and ask them to come back tomorrow. "
Not so long ago, when had the Four Links Chamber of Commerce ever had the qualifications to treat their customers like this? But the present was no longer the same. Tao Zhong smiled and cupped his hands. "Understood! I'll go right now. "
Looking at Tao Zhong's departing figure, Mu Bing stood silently for a while. This person was originally Mu Tianjiao's right-hand man, but now he had become her right-hand man. Mu Bing couldn't help but sigh as he turned around and walked towards the backyard.
In the backyard, the plants were verdant and the flowers were delicate, attracting many butterflies and bees. As soon as Mu Bing walked in, he heard the sound of soil being shoveled from the dense nursery. He followed the sound and saw Mu Tianjiao squatting in the nursery with a small shovel to cultivate the soil for a rose that still had dew on it. Mu Tianjiao asked without raising her head, "Father, why are you here? Isn't it very busy outside? "
Mu Bing glanced around and found that the originally barren nursery was now filled with roses. He couldn't help but curiously ask, "How did you fall in love with roses?"
Mu Tianjiao gently smiled as she busied herself. "I accidentally heard Tao Zhong mention it and suddenly felt that I liked it, so I planted it. He said that roses are cold and drought resistant. They don't have high requirements for soil and are very adaptable. The worse the environment, the brighter they bloom, and they can compete with other flowers for fragrance. But there are also drawbacks. They don't like sunlight as much as some flowers. If there's too much sunlight, the petals will easily dry up and lose their luster. "
Mu Bing trembled as he looked at his daughter's attire. Her originally valiant and formidable-looking attire had now been changed into a woman's attire. His voice trembled as he asked, "Tianjiao, are you talking about yourself?"
The small shovel paused for a moment before continuing. Mu Tianjiao lightly smiled. "Father, you're thinking too much. Flowers are flowers, and I am me. How can we be confused? Now that the Four Links Chamber of Commerce's business is getting better, it must be very busy! Please forgive me for being unfilial. I want to be lazy before I get married. Please forgive me, father. "
"You … Are you blaming father in your heart?" Mu Bing smiled miserably. "Yes! It's all because I'm useless. I have to rely on my daughter's life in exchange for the Chamber of Commerce's future. Tianjiao, if you don't want to marry Wu Xiong, then tell me honestly. Don't lie to me. I'd rather the Four Links Chamber of Commerce collapse than let you be unhappy for the rest of your life. I'm going to break off this marriage! "
The small shovel stabbed into the ground. Mu Tianjiao stood up and turned to Mu Bing with a smile. "Father, you're really thinking too much. If I didn't like it, why would I agree? Don't you know your daughter's temperament? No one can force your daughter to submit. "
"Is it true?" Mu Bing stared at Mu Tianjiao. "Tell me if it's true. Don't lie to me."
Mu Tianjiao didn't dare to look straight at him. She shifted her gaze and said, "Of course it's true." Suddenly, she saw the list in Mu Bing's hand and exclaimed softly, "What's that in Father's hand?"
Mu Bing was startled, then smiled. "Haven't you always been paying attention to the World Chamber of Commerce's news? You said the rumors are unreliable?" As he spoke, he handed the list to his daughter. "This is what Tao Zhong asked Wu Xiong to send to protect you. It's said that the World Chamber of Commerce distributed the original flyer in Fantasy Immortal City."
"You used Wu Xiong's men?" Mu Tianjiao's outstretched hand trembled slightly. Then, she took the flyer and looked at it. On it was written: Thanks to everyone's care, the World Chamber of Commerce will officially open on the 25th of this month. At that time, friends from all over are welcome to come and support us … World Chamber of Commerce's president cum sect master, Yue Qianchou, thanks!
"It's fine to use Wu Xiong's men, right?" Mu Bing hesitated.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Mu Tianjiao's face. She forced a smile and said, "Father, Wu Xiong's men are also from the Immortal Palace. When have you ever heard of a sect having the right to command the Immortal Palace's men? Wu Xiong sending people to protect us is his kind intentions, but we can't justify using the Immortal Palace's men … Since we've already done it this time, let's forget about it. However, I hope that Father won't do something like this again. Being able to borrow the power of the Immortal Palace is already enough for our Four Links Chamber of Commerce to develop. Don't go overboard or you'll bring disaster upon yourself. You must know that the master of the Immortal Palace is the Immortal Emperor, not Wu Xiong. I hope that Father will remember this! "
Hearing his daughter's words, Mu Bing also reacted. He knew that this matter wasn't appropriate. If he angered the Immortal Emperor, even ten Wu Xiongs wouldn't be able to protect him. Thinking about the possible consequences of this matter, he felt a lingering fear.
On the side, Mu Tianjiao tilted her head to look at the flyer in her hand and faintly sighed. "World Commerce's President and Sect Master Yue Qianchou? I originally thought that our Four Links Chamber of Commerce was already developing fast enough. Who would've thought that this Yue Qianchou has already established his own chamber of commerce in the Psychedelic Immortal City. I wasn't wrong about him. He's a capable person. Truly amazing! "
"Haha! Don't worry! It won't be long before we can also buy our own mountain in the Psychedelic Immortal City and open our business. At that time, I'll add another forty billion and register the Four Links Chamber of Commerce as a full-service chamber of commerce. We'll carry forward our Mu family's ancestral business. " Mu Bing confidently patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "That fellow Yue Qianchou's actions are all for show. It's just a gimmick to scare people. What can he do alone? If our Four Links Chamber of Commerce continues to develop at this rate, our business will only grow bigger and bigger. It won't be long before we surpass his World Commerce. However, there's something I feel a little strange about … "
Mu Tianjiao, who didn't know what to say to her father, raised her head slightly and said, "What do you feel is strange about?"
Mu Bing frowned and muttered, "If this Yue Qianchou can really take out fifty billion, why didn't he establish his chamber of commerce earlier? Why did he accept our Four Links Chamber of Commerce's employment and take the risk to enter the Divine Ruins Realm? Do you think it's possible that he collected some rare immortal herb in the Divine Ruins Realm and didn't give it to us? After he came out, he sold it for a large sum of money and then had the capital to establish the World Commerce? "
Mu Tianjiao looked at her father dumbfounded. Then, she lowered her head and forcefully folded the flyer in her hand. After calming herself down, she forced a smile and said, "Father, you have to know that even though fifty billion is a very large sum of money to us, let alone fifty billion, even a hundred billion can't buy the Green-winged Bat King and White Cloud Mountain Lord to follow us. These two early-stage Immortal Emperor experts can't be bought with money. So father, don't have that kind of suspicion towards Yue Qianchou. Even if you do, don't mention it to outsiders. "
Hearing this, Mu Bing smiled awkwardly, "Hearing you say this, it seems that I've gauged the heart of a gentleman with my own mean measure. It's indeed not very likely."
"Daughter has interacted with him and carefully observed him. This person doesn't seem very proper, but he's an extremely capable person. When he's not paying attention, he's already using a series of methods. When he's not paying attention, he's already overturning the clouds and rain. Everything is within his control. This person will become a great person sooner or later. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in roping him in. Otherwise, the future of our Four Links Chamber of Commerce would be even broader. " Mu Tianjiao shook her head and sighed, "It's easy to raise a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a good general. Our Four Links Chamber of Commerce's pool is too shallow. It's not enough for him to overturn the rivers and seas."
Mu Bing frowned, "Tianjiao, I believe you if you say he's capable, but you're overestimating him too much. If he's really as powerful as you say, I'm afraid the first ones who won't tolerate him would be the big sects of the Immortal World. Those big sects won't sit by and watch such a powerful person rise. "
This father of hers was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes muddle-headed, but most of the times he was muddle-headed was futile. No matter how much she explained, she could only pave the way! Mu Tianjiao bit her lips and said, "Father, after all, I've fought alongside Yue Qianchou in the Divine Ruin Realm. Now that his World Chamber of Commerce has opened, I want to personally send a congratulatory gift to congratulate him."
