Chapter 694 Rookie
Through the fog rising in the teacup, Chu Tianyao looked at Mu Hansha thoughtfully. People only saw his usual heartless smile, which was a fox and a tiger-powered one, but they didn't know that behind such a smile, there were so many difficulties. Looking at people, we can't just look at the surface.
"According to your monthly remittance amount, I have remitted it to your family in full from this year to a hundred years. What you think you owe them has been paid off now, and your life will belong to you in the future."
The tears in Mu Hansha's eyes were faintly intertwined with the floating mist. He bowed his hand and knelt down with conscience:
"In the future, I will be willing to be loyal to the Nine Venerables!"

After a long journey, Chen Xiling finally found the mansion where Wang Haichao and his family lived. He stood in front of the gate, waved his hand, spread the folding fan, and then paced back and forth, leisurely watching the courtyard.
In the courtyard, you can vaguely see a few middle-aged men with cloth scarves wrapped around them, pushing a cart of cement-like packaging bags. There are also many young people in coarse linen clothes working on both sides. Several children, who are only five or six years old, are covered in mud and are running around in the yard. There is also an old man with deep wrinkles sitting on the stone steps, smoking a dry cigarette one by one, with bitter faces on his face.
"It's really ugly. It's obviously a noble child, but he lives like a slum." Xilingchen said to himself in his heart. He understood why the Forget Sea Tide could not defend the Chamber of Commerce of Two Lakes.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the concessions will only be the oppression of the opponent. Now they are responsible for these corner projects. After a while, I am afraid that even this big mansion will be divided up by those ambitious presidents.
"Brother, who are you looking for?" Xilingchen was thinking, a young man in blue robe came up with him. He looked gentle and elegant, and had a secret noble spirit. He was in charge of everyone's work in the courtyard with a gentle attitude. Every time he assigned a task, he was like a friend's discussion, and sometimes he did it himself. Judging from the expressions of everyone, he was very respectful to him.
Xilingchen had already had eight points of speculation about his identity, but on the surface, he had not revealed anything at all. He smiled politely: "May I ask, does the young master of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce live here?"
The young man nodded, as if he was even more confused: "I am, who are you?"
Xilingchen raised his right hand, put away the folding fan neatly, and bowed his hand, and said seriously: "In Xilingchen, I was entrusted by the senior Dongliu, and I came to collect the tokens of the Chamber of Commerce. Can you ask your wife to come out and talk?"
When Wang Haichao heard him mention the name of Wang Dongliu, he widened his eyes in surprise: "My father? Have you seen my father?" He wanted to come forward immediately to ask for details. But after thinking for a moment, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his original kindness also covered his alertness: "No, say this is what my father meant, what proof do you have? How do I know that you were not sent by other presidents?"
Xilingchen sneered secretly and said calmly: "Then please help me bring a word to my wife. Keep it in..." His lips moved slightly, and the most important place was explained by voice transmission, "...the iron certificate of the alchemy book was handed over to the visitor, and everything he did according to what he said and did, and that's it."
Among the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, there are many people who know about the iron vouchers of the Danshu, but only Wang Dongliu and his wife know the exact location of the collection. Whoever can master this token is the orthodox successor of the Chamber of Commerce. For a long time, other presidents have used various means to seize it. This is no wonder that Wang Haichao immediately became wary when he heard it.
"...Okay, wait a moment." Perhaps Xilingchen was indeed the first person to tell the collection location. Although Wang Haichao didn't know whether the location was true or not, it was necessary to confirm it with his mother. While nodding and turning, he still couldn't stop looking up and down at Xilingchen, hoping to find some clues.
Xilingchen looked back calmly, with a smile on his face always hanging on his face, as unfathomable as those elders and foxes... Wang Haichao finally had to give up and turn around and walk away quickly.
Xilingchen shook his head, sneered, unfolded the folding fan again, and casually slapped the wind and cool down.
After a conversation with Wang Haichao before, the other employees in the yard only listened to a rough look, but they also vaguely saw that his origin was extraordinary. Although he was working in his hands, he would occasionally look at him. I don’t know whether it was the domineering business aura that was tempered by Mr. Shi Ye’s life or the oppression of his own strength in the Tongtian Realm. After everyone looked at it, no one dared to come forward to talk without authorization.
Xilingchen naturally knew that everyone was concerned about him, but he didn't want to spend extra effort on these employees. He still had the skillful and alienated smile on his face, and he quietly shook the folding fan in his hand.
Not long after, a dignified woman was supported by Wang Haichao and hurriedly met her. Seeing this, the staff in the courtyard hurriedly retreated aside. The eyes of Xilingchen looked at him seemed to have another meaning. If it were just exploration at first, it would be surprising and respectful. In any case, if the laborer's wife came out to greet him personally, the young man's status would never be low!
"Young Master Xiling, I'm really sorry. I've neglected you before." Wangmu walked to Xilingchen, with a dignified smile, but she was hiding the unconcealed nervousness. He took out a square box wrapped in yellow silk and handed it forward carefully, "This is the iron scroll of the alchemy book you want... But have you really seen my husband?"
Xilingchen quickly adjusted his standing posture, gave a little gift, took the square box and weighed it casually, responded calmly, "Since the lady is willing to go out to greet me, she handed me the iron coupon of the alchemy book with her own hands. I think she has trusted me, so why bother asking again?"
Wangmu's expression was even more cramped, and the smile he had been forced to hold was a little bitter: "No... You see, I was so happy that I was confused. I just wanted to know, Dongliu, but what else would I say?"
After her husband was imprisoned, the whole family lost the backbone, and she could only hold on with difficulty. She had to comfort the employees in the family, but also deal with those bad-hearted presidents. A woman suffers too much, but these sufferings cannot be told to her son that as the only man in the family, the burden on her shoulders is now much heavier than herself.
In the darkness that is so heavy that I can't see tomorrow, I have been enduring it until now, and suddenly received news from my husband, why didn't she feel mixed feelings?
Xilingchen still had the same formulaic tone: "Senior Wang Dongliu is very concerned about his wife and Master Haichao, and told me that he must take good care of your future life. Mrs. must take care of yourself. You and Master are living well, so that he can be at ease in prison."
Wang Haichao held his mother's hand tightly, and the mother and son looked at each other, with relief in their eyes. Perhaps only those who witnessed it can experience this joy of suffering and sweetness.
"Brother Xiling, I'm so sorry before." After comforting my mother, Wang Haichao also smiled at Xilingchen sincerely.
Xilingchen glanced at him, suddenly lifted the fan, and knocked him on the head.
"You are very wary, but you can't tell who is trustworthy and can't fight back against those who are truly hostile to you. No wonder the Chamber of Commerce will end up in the shareholder division." Seeing Wang Haichao's expression slightly resentful, he added slowly: "This is a fight for your father."
Wang Haichao rubbed his forehead, and the complaints that had once subsided completely under this sentence. Yes, if his father was still there, he would probably be so angry that he would beat him up when he saw the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce he founded, which he had managed to do in this way...
Xilingchen put away the folding fan, and as if nothing had happened before, he continued calmly: "Brother Haichao, senior Wang Dongliu told me to take over the Chamber of Commerce from today. If you are willing to stay, I will give you the position of vice president and assist me in handling the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. If you are unwilling, let you be free in the world. Then, what is your answer?"
In fact, Wang Dongliu also gave his son the opportunity to choose to take over, but Xilingchen concealed it.
He had already seen that Wang Haichao was too indecisive. People like him would always pay more attention to human feelings than interests. They were only suitable for managing those loyal old servants. In a shopping mall where there were open and hidden arrows everywhere, his path would definitely not be long. If he had the power to take over, he would definitely tie his hands and feet everywhere in his future actions.
So, you can choose that free and easy road. Xilingchen thought to himself, for the sake of Senior Wang Dongliu, I will protect you mother and son from food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and this is the end of kindness and righteousness.
Wangmu also looked at her son nervously. She knew how much Haichao yearned for that vast world. If it was forced to do so before, then now, he can finally choose his future life-
"I'll stay!" However, Wang Haichao just pondered for a moment and said these four words loudly. Xilingchen's face also slightly sank not easily noticed.
"The way to practice is to practice and cultivate the heart, but it is not only possible to cultivate the heart when you go out to the outside world. Now the Chamber of Commerce is in a mess, and I cannot leave it alone. I cannot let you clean up this mess alone. My dream can be waited, but the Chamber of Commerce cannot wait. Brother Xiling, I am willing to work hard with you!"
Xilingchen looked at him faintly, and the slight waves were pressed into his eyes again, and nodded quietly. Wang Haichao was obviously very excited: "Next, I will arrange a room for you first, you can have a good rest. When you have enough energy, let's go to the chamber of commerce together..."
"Take me to the Chamber of Commerce now." Xilingchen interrupted him. He slowly turned his back and looked into the distance. An unspeakable fanaticism appeared on his face.
"I can't wait to see... where I'm about to make great achievements in the future!"
...
Half an hour later, all the presidents in the luxurious hall of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce had arrived. Everyone was looking at the cold young man who was in the high position and looked like an emperor with an incredible look.
"The iron coupon of the alchemy book is in my hand. I am the new president of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce!" Xilingchen put his left arm on the back of the seat, and raised the iron scroll of the alchemy book high in his hand to display it around the venue. That noble arrogance seemed to be the jade seal of the dynasty now in his hand.
The presidents looked at each other. They had been used to Forget Haichao's weakness and could be bullied, and they were also used to gradually turning the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce into their one-man show. Now, such a young man with a domineering momentum and "turning the guests on the front line" suddenly appeared, which really made them a little confused.
After a while, President Cao stood up first and smiled dryly: "Brother Xiling, don't rush to regard himself as the president. It's still suspicious to ask me to see this matter."
Seeing that the other presidents were blinking at him, President Cao smiled bitterly, quickly organized the language, and said with a tough bullet: "The president was in prison for so long, and the whereabouts of this token have been unknown. Why did it suddenly appear now? He also said it was the president's entrustment... I asked me, could it be that the nephew of Haichao, you just found a helper outside in order to keep the position of the young boss, and just use the name of the president?"
At the end, he turned around and asked Wang Haichao with a stern voice. Obviously, this weak young master was easier to grasp than Xilingchen. In the end, his momentum also rose again.
Another president also said at this time: "Yes, for the sake of Haichao nephew, if you want to stay here to work and make a living, it will be fine, but if you want to be the president... you should be an apprentice for ten or twenty years first. When we old guys should retire, it will not be too late for you to succeed you."
As if he was questioning sternly or talking bitterly, Wang Haichao had experienced it before. Under the joint camp of the presidents, he was unreasonable and could not explain it clearly, so he could only be forced to retreat. At this time, seeing that everyone used the same trick again, he couldn't help but look at Xilingchen nervously.
The other party brought it by himself, and he couldn't see the other party being troubled. He wanted to stand up and say a few words, but how to refute the presidents was something he hadn't been able to do for so many years. Now in a hurry, he was unspeakable.
Seeing Wang Haichao showing the sign of "supplication" expression, the presidents all smiled secretly. But then, a small cold snorting sounded in the hall. Xi Lingchen in the main seat slowly raised his head, and his face was still full of despicable smile.
"Ha, ten years, twenty years, how many decades can a person have in his life? I'm not here to be an apprentice."
When President Cao saw his look down, he felt angry and sneered: "The young man is not old, but his tone is quite small. Even if you, the 'Young Master Ye, have a reputation as a little bitch, you are just small-scale quarrels. Do you have any management experience in such a big company? At that time, the entire chamber of commerce will fall into your hands, so let us follow you to drink the northwest wind?"
"You... don't you even believe my father's eyes?" Wang Haichao blushed and finally said something. But judging from the reactions of the presidents, no one took his opinion seriously at all. Grasping the reason why the other party was young and shallow, everyone talked and became more and more excited. The blockbuster sounds formed a unilateral wave of attacks.
"Ha..." Under this side-by-side questioning, Xi Lingchen in the main seat smiled coldly, waved his hand casually, slowly sat upright, and showed a gentle smile to everyone.
"I think what the presidents said makes sense."
