"Although the Huaidongfu Trading Company was newly established, its development momentum is obviously the best among the seven major trading companies under our command."
Julie was blowing smoke rings and walking slowly like a lady.
While saying to the boss who was playing with the jade next to him:
"A few days ago, the fourth brother went there for a special visit. The governor there is our Lord Sun. He just took office and is eager to make achievements, so he strongly supports our business.
We have also specially approved the best location in Huaidong City for building our market town, so we don't have to worry about that.
However, the wife of Lord Sun was a little... how should I put it? She came from a poor family and wasn't very sensible. She actually sent someone to ask for a bribe from the fourth son, and was eventually reported to Lord Sun by an old servant of the Sun family.
I heard that when the fourth brother left, Lord Sun was having a quarrel with his wife and threatened to divorce her. "
"Haha, I heard Lord Sun complain about his wife's ignorance before in Fengshan."
Jiang Xia sneered and said:
"Now that Lord Sun has benefited from Old Hong's influence, it is inevitable that he will have a successful career. That woman is very short-sighted. If we don't deal with her, she will cause trouble for our good friend Lord Sun sooner or later.
That's right.
Didn't you specially train several clever apprentices?"
Julie immediately understood what was meant by this. She took a puff of her cigarette gracefully and said:
"Tomorrow we will select the two with the best looks and send them to Ruyue's mother's courtyard. After they are well trained, we will make Kunlun Square and Lord Sun even closer ."
"Well, let the fourth one do it. He is the best at this kind of thing."
Jiang Xia said this, and Julie nodded in agreement.
She continued:
“The two businesses in Yanchi County are now completely taken over by the people we trained. There are spiritual mines in both places, so I divested them of other businesses and let them focus on mining.
The workshop for the prospecting and sorting machines made by Jasmine is also set up there. Moti is in charge of it. When Moti is on leave, I will send someone to take care of it.
The fourth brother also set up a security agency there, recruited some people, and handed them over to Moti for training, specifically to protect the mines.
Morty also found a mistress there.
It is said that she was a courtesan in the past, and the two are now inseparable. I am afraid that in a few months, you, the boss, will have to prepare a gift for her. "
“That’s a good thing.”
Jiang Xia grinned.
With a slight movement of his fingers, the white jade, which was nurtured by the spiritual energy, kept dropping residues as if it was cut by a knife or an axe, just like the amulet that Wang Liufu made for him as an outer disciple.
In less than ten breaths, the white jade was carved into an exquisite jade pendant with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns by the carving knife in Jiang Xia's left hand.
As Julie was watching curiously, Lao Jiang took out the magic cube and turned it a few times to inject spiritual energy into it, then gently covered the jade pendant with it.
Just like stamping a seal, two spirit-attaching array diagrams were engraved on the jade pendant twice.
He threw the jade pendant to Julie and said:
"Give it to Malte, and ask him to temper it carefully once, and then give it to him on my behalf when Morty gets married. It's not a good thing, but it can save his life at a critical moment, and it can also gather his spirit and temper his body...
The effect is unremarkable, but maybe it has some aphrodisiac effect. "
"Such a good thing, I kept it for myself."
Julie was not polite and immediately put the thing on her waist, which made Jiang Xia shake his head. Forget it, just give it to her.
With Julie's current status and position, it's unacceptable for her to not have a protective weapon.
"Don't just pick the good ones."
Jiang Xia continued to move forward and said:
"Tell me something bad."
"Except for Huaidong Prefecture and Yanchi County, the other several businesses are being taken over in an orderly manner. It can't be said that they are in a bad situation. With the connections of Governor Hong paving the way, no one will dare to do anything stupid."
Julie threw away the cigarette butt in her hand and said:
"If there is one thing that is not going well, it is the capital. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor, and various forces are intertwined. We can't fight like we did in Fengyang County.
There was the imprisoned Second Prince, as well as the Crown Prince who had no good intentions towards us. The steward we sent had a secret audience with Queen Shi.
Thanks to her closeness to the Third Prince and the letter from Governor Hong, the Queen has a very good impression of us.
However, Empress Shi did not hold real power.
The old king seems to be getting a little confused. In short, a few days ago, our shop in Gyeonggi was burned down by a group of evil thugs, and they were driven away by the ghost soldiers sent by the Gyeonggi City God.
Although no one was killed or injured.
But the intention of this is to establish authority, it is really obvious. "
"So what are you going to do?"
Lao Jiang asked with his eyes narrowed.
Julie stretched her body, playing with the dragon and phoenix jade pendant on her waist, and said in a gentle tone:
"I have discussed this with Lao Si. The first batch of security guards trained in the workshop will be taking up their new posts soon, but they have not seen blood yet..."
"Well, mortal matters should be handled by mortals."
Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction and said to Julie:
"As a cultivator, I will not participate. Transfer Heishui and his sister over there as well. If there are any more evil cultivators causing trouble, have them be ruthless and kill a chicken to show those monkeys."
"Well, speaking of Black Water, there's something that I don't know if Lao Si didn't tell you, Boss."
Julie said with a strange look on her face:
"Heishui has a friend who wants to do business with us, so he specifically asked Heishui to be the middleman. That person is in the county city these days, waiting for you to come back and discuss things with you.
As for matters related to the monks, the fourth brother and I dare not make a decision."
"The filial son of Heishui who killed his master , besides his unclear relationship with his junior sister Liu Yin, does he have any friends?"
Old Jiang was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly thought of someone and said:
"Is it Shan Qiuming?"
"Yes, Shan Qiuming."
Julie nodded and said:
"It is said that the body-refining monk just came back from the Southern Wilds. He said that he had a bad trip in Star Valley last month and suffered a setback. So he wanted to buy more monk weapons and recruit some people to go back and find a place to fight."
"Ah, the mercenary business."
Old Jiang's eyes lit up and he said:
"Then please invite him for me. I'll meet him tonight. I've also brought him the goodies he paid a deposit for."
"OK."
Julie nodded, glanced at Jiang Xia, and asked:
"Boss, don't just talk about our development, let's talk about you. I heard from the grapevine that you have been practicing in the mountains for a few days, and you finally ate that little demon Ruyue?
How about it?
She has good skills, right? Look at her breasts, waist, legs... Tsk tsk, the boss is so lucky."
"you……"
Jiang Xia turned around and glared at Julie who was laughing softly with her hands covering her mouth. He said quietly:
"I haven't bothered you about this yet. Tell me the truth, was it you who was behind the incident with Ruyue? You gave her your most beloved lighter.
This is inheritance.
And considering your previous temper, it's not impossible for you to instigate her."
"Hey, boss, don't say anything nonsense. We are familiar with each other, but if you say something nonsense, believe it or not, I will set up a union and file a complaint against you."
Julie waved her hand and said seriously:
"That was the past. Now I am also learning to be a lady. I am just waiting for Roger to conquer Free Citizen City and then give birth to a child for my Pete.
I will teach my children to be a good mother in the future, so you are not allowed to talk about those bad things in the past anymore."
"Okay, okay."
Lao Jiang shrugged and said:
“Let’s not talk about the past, and you are not allowed to talk about Ruyue’s matter either.
But I have something serious to tell you. In half a month, no matter whether you have managed Fengming Country well or not, you must send out a caravan.
Come with me to the southern wilderness.
I found a trading partner there. After that, Kunlunfang will not expand to other places in the East for the time being. I will first take over the market in the Great Wilderness Forest in the Southern Wilderness.
By the way, let’s go and explore the monsters in Yandang Pond.
This is a really big deal.
If you and Lao Si mess up, you will suffer the consequences. Humph, you are dreaming of having a child! I will send both of you back to the wasteland to play with guns."
"Southern Wasteland?"
Julie shuddered for a moment, and whispered:
"Boss, that's not a good place. I heard that the people there are very barbaric and there are ghosts lurking there. It is said that the wizards there will make straw men to curse people."
"It's better to be barbaric."
Jiang Xia glanced at Julie and said:
“Only undeveloped blue oceans can be used for painting freely. If it is a well-developed market, how can we, the up-and-coming ones, have the chance to do business?
Don't worry, I have arranged everything.
We go there and get VIP treatment."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Julie nodded, took another look at the yard in front of her, and said to Jiang Xia:
"The fourth brother called Wutong here, and she has been busy with the quality control of magic tools in this yard these days. That woman is a bit weird, like a jinx that brings bad luck.
I don't want to have much contact with her, lest it bring bad luck to my unborn child.
Boss, go there by yourself.
I'm going to get busy.
Niu Zhaodi is very stupid. I have taught her for several days, but now she still can't even use an abacus. Apart from her big breasts, I don't know what the fourth brother likes about her. "
“You teach with your heart.”
Lao Jiang advised:
"Mrs. Niu is our great benefactor. Without her, we wouldn't be who we are today. I know there's something fishy going on between you and the fourth brother.
You are now determined to find a stepfather for your child.
I can understand.
But you are not allowed to bully Mrs. Niu because of this.
I think Malte is a good one. You two are from the same place. He is quite suitable to be a stepfather. At least he won’t beat your child, right?”
"Tsk, you don't have to worry about my business."
Julie made a rude gesture, took a few steps, touched her face, and said to Jiang Xia in a dramatic manner:
"Alas, our Julie is unlucky. If she were ten years younger, with my skills in bed, she wouldn't have any chance of finding a stepfather for the child. I think you, boss, are the most suitable.
I won't worry about my child being bullied in this helpless world...
However, I can't be a stepfather.
It's okay to be a godfather, right?"
Lao Jiang grinned and said:
"Let's wait until your child is born. Don't worry. Old Luo has already got a firm grasp on Free Citizen City. As long as the time is right, I will help."
"Thank you."
Julie waved her hand with great satisfaction, took a few more steps, turned back, and gently opened her collar, revealing something white.
She reached out her hand and gently touched the corner of her mouth, and said to Lao Jiang seductively:
"Boss, why don't you try it? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Snap"
Jiang Xia, with an expressionless face, snapped his fingers, and the Magic Cube flew out of his arms, hovered above Lao Jiang's shoulder, and began to spin rapidly, with the five elements spells on the six sides ready to be unleashed.
"I'll give you ten seconds to disappear from my sight."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Julie burst into laughter, and walked back quickly while holding onto the wall. This was the charm of a mature woman. She loved teasing young guys like Jiang Xia.
Old Jiang could only shake his head helplessly. What kind of weirdos were these under his command?
He turned around and was about to put away the Magic Cube, but he found that at the door of the courtyard in front of him, there was a female cultivator in plain clothes, staring at him with wide eyes.
Well, to be precise, looking at the Magic Cube floating on Lao Jiang's shoulder.
Those not-so-bright eyes were filled with passion and inquiry.
"You, which one is...what kind of magic weapon?"
The first quality inspector of Kunlunfang Magical Instrument Workshop, the female cultivator Wutong, was lying by the door and timidly asked her boss:
"How come I've never seen this before?"
"No rules, call the boss."
Jiang Xia curled his lips and said:
“There are so many things you haven’t seen.
Lao Si said that you have been working very hard recently, so I came here specially to see you. I also want to know that Shi Liu and Lao Si are in Fengyang County because you have caused such a big scene.
Is it worth it? "
