Two days later …
Spirit Galaxy, Meng Ang Planet, which was also the planet where the Jiang Chamber of Commerce was located. The entire planet belonged to the Jiang Clan and was within its sphere of influence.
At that moment, Lu An appeared in the city again and soon arrived at the Jiang Chamber of Commerce. There were many people trading in the Chamber of Commerce. Soon, Lu An arrived at the door of the room that only cooperating merchants could enter.
The staff at the door had already remembered Lu An, so when Lu An arrived, he immediately bowed and said, "Young Master Chu."
Lu An nodded slightly without saying anything and walked straight into the room. There were only two people in the room. Lu An did not know either of them, but he had seen them at the banquet. The two of them looked at Lu An, and Lu An looked back at them. However, he did not greet them and walked straight to the bulletin board.
Lu An did not speak, so the two of them did not take the initiative to say anything either. Lu An stood in front of the bulletin board and looked at it carefully. There were a few new missions. Since he could not open the Realm of the Demon Gods, Lu An did not want to choose missions that required fighting. Therefore, he quickly chose two missions that required materials.
After choosing, Lu An was ready to leave. At that moment, someone in the room suddenly asked, "Brother Chu, do you have any missions that you like?"
Lu An stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the person. Instead of answering, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The person smiled and said, "It's to prevent us from competing with each other for the same mission."
Most of the missions here were not independent. In other words, unlike the Immortal Planet Chamber of Commerce, each mission required a token. After accepting the mission, one would have to take the token away and no one else would do the same mission. Most of the missions in the Chamber of Commerce were announced and could be done by anyone, even if it was a mission to kill someone. Because of this, there would indeed be competition when many people carried out the same mission. The Chamber of Commerce was naturally happy to see this because it would speed up the completion of the mission. However, it was not a good thing for the cooperating merchants.
Even if it was a material mission and many people completed it at the same time, it was still a good thing for the Chamber of Commerce to obtain more materials. However, when the Chamber of Commerce obtained enough materials, the mission would be removed from the bulletin board. Even if the Chamber of Commerce came back with more materials, the mission would not be completed, and there would be no reward.
Lu An looked at this person. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will choose the fourth and fifth material missions depending on the situation."
Both of them looked at the bulletin board when Lu An continued, "What about you guys?"
Lu An had already stated his choice. It was impossible for him to not listen to the two of them.
The two of them didn't hesitate and stated the missions they had chosen. None of them were the same as Lu An's. Lu An actually didn't care about their missions. He was more concerned about telling them about the missions he had chosen.
This meant that … he might have to do the quest himself.
If he didn't do the mission himself, once the Jiang Chamber of Commerce really investigated him and went to the star where the materials were, if they found out that the one doing the mission wasn't him but someone else, things would become very bad. Lu An didn't know if there were any spies from the Chamber of Commerce among these two people. Because of this, he had to be extremely careful.
Lu An only had a simple conversation with the two of them. After that, he was ready to leave. However, just as Lu An walked out of the door, the staff on the side suddenly called out to Lu An.
"Young Master Chu," the staff said very politely, "If you are not busy, the President would like to invite you over."
The Chamber of Commerce's President?
Lu An frowned. He didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked coldly, "What for?"
"I don't know," the staff said politely, "But the President must have good intentions. Young Master, you don't have to worry."
"…"
Lu An hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Lead the way."
"Please," the staff said.
Soon, the staff led Lu An up the stairs to the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce, which was the fourth floor. They walked to the end of the long corridor before stopping.
The staff raised his hand and knocked on the door. He said outside, "President, Young Master Chu is here."
"Please come in."
Hearing the voice coming from inside, the staff reached out and opened the door for Lu An. When Lu An entered, he saw the President of the Chamber of Commerce, who he had met at the banquet, stand up and walk out from behind the long table. He smiled and said to Lu An, "Young Master Chu, come, please sit!"
The President was very enthusiastic. As Chu Xing, Lu An couldn't not give him face. He walked into the room and sat down at the side. The President was also sitting there, next to Lu An. After the maid served the two of them tea, the President and Lu An each took a small sip. Of course, this tea was different from the 'tea' in the Immortal Planet. It still had the power of death. It was a completely different matter.
"How is it?" the President asked with a smile. "Young Master Chu, do you think it's good?"
"Yes," Chu Xing nodded and said. "Not bad."
Although Chu Xing didn't speak much, the President's smile became even wider. He said, "Two days ago, when I met Young Master Chu for the first time at the banquet, I didn't have time to say much."
"President, you're too polite," Chu Xing said. However, his expression and tone showed that he didn't want to say these polite words. He directly asked, "I wonder why you called me here?"
Hearing Chu Xing's direct question, the President was slightly startled. However, he smiled even more and said, "It's like this, Young Master Chu also knows that the Jiang Clan's Fourth Young Master is currently recruiting capable people. Therefore, I wanted to ask if Young Master Chu is willing to join. Have you considered it?"
Chu Xing frowned and said, "I'm not joining."
His answer was direct and straightforward. There was no room for negotiation.
Chu Xing's answer was more direct and firm than the other business partners. Although the President was prepared, he was still surprised. He asked, "Why? Is there something that Young Master Chu is dissatisfied with? Or perhaps Young Master Chu has some concerns. Even if we don't cooperate, we can still improve. "
"It's nothing," Chu Xing said. "I'm used to being alone. I don't like to be restricted by others. I don't like to follow the clan's rules and be watched by others every day. This kind of business partnership is already my limit. Therefore, I can't cooperate with the Jiang Clan … even if it's the other clans. "
As he said this, Chu Xing paused before continuing, "Also, my strength is average. Why does President want to rope me in?"
"This …" Chu Xing's sudden question stunned the President. He was caught off guard. However, the President was the President after all. His reaction was quick. He immediately smiled and said, "The Jiang Clan doesn't even want to give up on talents. Young Master Chu is too humble. Although joining the Jiang Clan does require some management, it's already very relaxed compared to the other clans. Moreover, Young Master Chu also knows that the war has already begun. Both galaxies are in chaos. Although the current battlefield is in the Heavenly Star River, who knows when our galaxy will also become a battlefield. When that time comes, for safety, everyone will find a place to live. The clan is the best choice. Joining early is always a good thing. What do you think? "
"If the Heavenly Star River people really attack us, then we'll talk about it." Chu Xing said, "When that time comes, I may join a clan. I will prioritize the Kang Clan. I may also not join a clan and fight alone. "
Hearing this, the President was stunned. He wanted to rope in Lu An. Naturally, he couldn't wait until now. Otherwise, it would be meaningless. Roping in Lu An wasn't for the war. Otherwise, as Lu An said, with his strength, he wouldn't be of much use in the war, much less cause any waves.
However, just as the President was about to say something, Chu Xing opened his mouth again and continued, "Also, President may not know. Two days ago, Jiang Xin and I had a disagreement after the banquet. I don't think she's someone who can let go of grudges. I also won't let anyone bully me. If she keeps bothering me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and do something that will make everyone unhappy. "
Hearing this, the President was stunned. He naturally knew about the conflict between Jiang Xin and Chu Xing. At that time, he was still discussing the banquet with Jiang Ping. Suddenly, Jiang Xin barged in angrily and asked Jiang Ping to uphold justice for her and avenge her.
Jiang Xin kept saying that Chu Xing bullied her. She made it sound like Chu Xing was a heinous and licentious person. However, the President knew what kind of person Jiang Xin was. If Lu An really had licentious thoughts, with Jiang Xin's strength, she wouldn't have been able to escape. How could she have returned safely? Moreover, the conflict happened outside the city. How could Lu An kidnap Jiang Xin from the Chamber of Commerce and bring her out of the city?
Because of this, Jiang Ping talked to Lu An alone after comforting his daughter. He expressed his interest in Lu An and asked him to investigate Lu An.
