Three days later, Meng Ang Planet.
Lu An once again appeared on Meng Ang Planet. He did not go directly to the Chamber of Commerce, but instead walked around the city to buy some necessities. After all, one had to put on a full act. Even a lone wolf needed necessities, such as good food and wine. The Chamber of Commerce would not sell these things and could only buy them in the city.
Lu An believed that the Chamber of Commerce had spies everywhere in the city. Anything he did would be observed and reported to the Chamber of Commerce. Lu An did not bother to look for the Chamber of Commerce's spies and bought things at will.
After buying a large amount of supplies, Lu An headed to the Chamber of Commerce. After entering the Chamber of Commerce, he directly said to the staff in front of him, "I have completed a second-class mission."
Hearing Lu An's words, the staff immediately said, "Young master, please follow me."
Soon, the staff walked up the stairs. Lu An knew that the Chamber of Commerce had a manager and three assistant managers. The assistant managers' offices were on the second floor, while the manager's office was on the third floor. However, the staff did not stop even when he brought Lu An to the third floor. Instead, he continued to walk to the fourth floor.
"Where are we going?" Lu An frowned and asked, "Why are we still going up?"
The staff was startled when he heard this, but then he explained, "The President has instructed that if Young Master Chu arrives, we should go and see him. The President can also help Young Master with the mission rewards."
"…"
Lu An was relieved. After all, after he insisted on rejecting the President last time, he was worried that the other party would not contact him anymore. That would be bad. Even so, Lu An's expression was still cold and serious. It was obvious that he felt that this matter was troublesome.
Lu An had an expression that said, "After all, we are business partners, so I have to give him some face." He said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
The staff was relieved when he heard this. If something happened here, he would not be able to bear the President's punishment.
Soon, the staff and Lu An arrived at the fourth floor. They walked to the end of the corridor and stood in front of the President's closed door.
"President, Chu Xing is here." The staff member outside the door said respectfully.
Inside the room, the president was sitting on a chair behind the desk. In his hand were some papers that clearly recorded everything that Lu An had purchased, as well as some of his actions and words.
The president placed the papers on the table and covered them with other papers. Then, he said to the door, "Please come in."
The door opened and Lu An walked in alone. The staff closed the door and left.
After seeing Lu An, the president smiled and walked out from behind the desk. "Young Master Chu, please take a seat."
Now that he was in the other party's territory, there was no way Lu An would not give him face. Hence, his expression relaxed significantly. After sitting down with the Guild Leader, Lu An said, "Guild Leader, I've completed a second-tier quest."
"Is that so?" the President said with a smile. "Let me have a look."
Lu An took out the materials from his Space Ring and handed them to President Lu An. The President was naturally aware of the internal quests issued by the Chamber of Commerce. After observing the color and energy of the ore, he released his Divine Sense and said with a smile, "I've already asked someone to prepare the reward. Young Master Chu, please wait a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
Lu An frowned slightly and asked, "Is it about joining the Jiang Family?"
"Yes." Seeing that Lu An was somewhat disgusted, the President immediately said, "I've discussed this with the Fourth Young Master several times over the past few days. I think that Young Master Chu is a person of integrity and trustworthiness. He's a rare companion. The Fourth Young Master is also very sincere, so he lowered and changed our request a lot. "
Hearing the President's praise, Lu An's expression did not change much. Instead, he asked, "What do you mean? What's changed? "
"I know that Young Master Chu likes to be alone and does not like to be managed. The Fourth Young Master knows this too." The President smiled and gestured with his hands. "So, we've decided that Young Master Chu does not have to live with the Jiang Family, nor does he have to be managed by the Jiang Family's rules. As long as Young Master Chu is required to do something, Young Master Chu will do his best. How about that? "
Lu An was obviously startled when he heard this. He frowned and asked, "Then what's the difference between this and now?"
"Young Master is right. There's almost no difference." The President said, "There are only two differences. One is that Young Master's quests are more confidential and high-level. They definitely cannot be leaked. The other is that Young Master will need to work with others on many quests. You can no longer be alone when carrying out quests. "
After hearing the President's words, Lu An was shocked.
In fact, he really did not expect the President to make such a concession. After all, if he was not managed by the Kang Clan, Lu An would have too many opportunities to leak the secret to the outside world. And if he was a spy, it was very likely that it would cause great harm to the Jiang Family.
It seemed that the Jiang Family was really anxious to make such a decision.
Although he was shocked, Lu An did not show it on his face. He only showed a great deal of hesitation. Unlike the previous two times, Lu An did not immediately refuse this time.
Hesitation meant that Lu An was tempted. The President was overjoyed. As expected, this change was extremely effective!
"It's all cooperation. It's just that you're working with the Chamber of Commerce now and the Jiang Family in the future. Even solo merchants have times when they work with others. Even if Young Master Chu has not worked with others before, I guarantee that it will be more interesting for everyone to do something together. " Seeing Lu An hesitate, the President continued to persuade him, "Also … I can reveal a little secret to Young Master Chu. There are many quests with extremely generous rewards. It's not something the quests you're looking at now can compare to."
After hearing the President's words, Lu An's expression became even more hesitant.
To be honest, Lu An was tempted. And he thought that the President's offer was very sincere. With his current status and personality, there was no reason for him to refuse.
After thinking about it, Lu An looked at the President and asked, "The Jiang Family won't force me to do some quests, right? If I work with the Chamber of Commerce, I can freely choose my own quests and only do quests that I like. If the Jiang Family can agree to let me choose my own quests or give me the right to refuse quests, I will join. "
Hearing Chu Xing's words, the President's heart immediately became very complicated. This Chu Xing was finally willing to work with the Jiang Family, but he also suggested that he could freely choose his own quests. The Jiang Family naturally had very important quests for Lu An to do, and this was also the reason why they recruited Chu Xing. Logically speaking, the President should refuse, but he was afraid that if he refused, Chu Xing would change his attitude and simply not join.
The President thought quickly. At most, he could use generous rewards to attract Chu Xing, and Chu Xing would have no reason to refuse. Why not take down Chu Xing first and confirm the cooperation? This way, there would naturally be many opportunities to change Chu Xing's mind. This kind of stalemate was not a good thing. He was even afraid that if he said a few more times, Chu Xing would feel annoyed and simply not work with the Chamber of Commerce anymore.
Thus, the President took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you that I can refuse quests that I don't want to do."
Regarding the President's agreement, Lu An was once again surprised, but on the surface, he looked relieved and said, "If that's the case, I'm willing to work with the Jiang Family."
Hearing Chu Xing's definite reply, the President finally smiled again and said, "Working with Mister Chu is not a simple matter. Our Jiang Family's sincerity is definitely not something that other families can compare to. Welcome Mister Chu to become a member of our Jiang Family … From now on, we're all family. I'll call you Brother Chu! "
Lu An hesitated slightly. He was not used to being so close, but he did not refuse, and only asked, "Do you need me to do anything now?"
"There's a quest." The President nodded and said, "It's actually not difficult. It's just a quest to kill someone, and it's not just Brother Chu doing it. There will be others with him, so there won't be any danger. It's just that … "
"It's just that what?" Lu An frowned and asked.
"It's just that this person's whereabouts are erratic, so you need to be on guard." The President said somewhat helplessly, "Brother Chu needs to be on guard with others for a period of time, but you only need to spend a bit of time to get a generous reward without any danger. This quest is very worth doing."
"…"
Lu An thought for a moment, and after three breaths he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do this quest."
