Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 131: Master Gong, please give me some face
"Hanzhu Hall?" Hearing Li Hu introduce himself, Gong Qingshu muttered to himself without returning the greeting. He said calmly, "As far as I know, Hanzhu Hall is located far away in Hechi Town. I wonder why Master Li came here?"
"Of course it's for my junior sister and the affairs of his Chamber of Commerce." Li Hu frowned. He felt that Gong Qingshu's attitude was a bit frivolous, which made him unhappy.
"Did Qian Xiaoyun invite you here?" Gong Qingshu lowered his eyes and nodded continuously, as if he understood something.
"Master Gong, please give me some face." Li Hu said again.
Even if he is the leader, he is already an important figure in the Qingyi Gang. This hall master is already a high-ranking member of the Qingyi Gang, so Young Master Gong must give him some face.
Most businessmen had never seen such a scene and thought to themselves.
"Face? Haha." Gong Qingshu smiled, and suddenly looked up and stared into Li Hu's eyes.
"There are more than 30 hall masters in the Qingyi Gang. If everyone asks me for face, how many can I give?"
"Your Hanzhu Hall is located in Hechi Town. When has it ever been able to take care of the affairs of our business alliance?"
Li Hu's face darkened and turned ashen.
"So, your business alliance is not going to give face to our Qingyi Gang?"
"Wasn't what I said clear enough just now? Do you really want me to make it clearer?" Gong Qingshu sneered.
"Then you have to understand clearly this time. Your Hanzhu Hall is just a branch hall in the remote Hechi Town. You have only two or three big cats and small cats. Do you dare to represent the Qingyi Gang? Who do you think you are? Why do you want me to give you face?"
"You are too arrogant!" Li Hu shouted loudly, his true energy rolled wildly, strong wind splashed everywhere, a whirlwind rolled up in the hall, and the sound of the tiger's roar was deafening.
Judging from this aura, Li Hu is already a foundation-building cultivator!
If he had not considered the situation here and at the moment and tried his best to restrain himself, he would have taken action directly after being humiliated by Gong Qingshu many times.
The hall master in the foundation-building stage!
Everyone was a little stunned. As businessmen, they believed that harmony brings wealth. How could Gong Qingshu dare to treat a leader of the Qingyi Gang like this? And a leader in the foundation-building stage?
"How dare you be so rude here?" Gong Qingshu shouted with a serious expression.
The two sides are on the verge of a war.
"I heard your voice from a long way off. Why are you so angry, nephew Qingshu?"
Just as everyone was discussing, a hearty voice suddenly came from the door. This voice startled Li Hu and brought him back to his senses from his extreme anger.
His true energy suddenly dissipated, and he looked towards the lobby door in disbelief.
Gong Qingshu straightened his clothes, turned around and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Zheng, it is an honor for our business alliance to have you here today."
He responded quite appropriately.
Master Huo also hurried over to greet him, and everyone stood up when they saw him.
"It's Zheng Zhonglin, the leader of the Qingyi Gang!" Someone recognized the identity of the visitor.
"Why is he here?"
"He hasn't attended the Merchant Alliance Banquet for many years, so why is he here this time?"
"It must be for Master Gong. Master Gong is so resourceful that he can even hire someone like this."
There were whispers among the people at the table, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man in green clothes who walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
"Since your Master Gong has invited me, I naturally have to give you face, but I also have another good news to tell you." Zheng Zhonglin, accompanied by President Huo and Gong Qingshu, walked towards the main table.
"Under the leadership of President Huo and you, your business alliance has grown stronger and the tributes are very rich. From now on, my Qingyi Gang can no longer afford to protect you, so the gang will personally send someone to "guarantee" your business alliance."
"What?" President Huo and Gong Qingshu were both stunned. This was the first time they heard this news.
"Can you tell us who will be the guarantor?" they both asked in unison, wanting to establish a good relationship in advance.
"That lord is on his way , you will know soon. This time it happens to coincide with your business alliance banquet, so you can all get to know the new 'guardian'. Let me tell you in advance that he is a young inherited cultivator with a promising future."
Everyone was in an uproar, and a hint of fanaticism flashed in Gong Qingshu's eyes. Over the years, he had climbed higher and higher in the Chamber of Commerce, and he had planned to use the power of the Chamber of Commerce to find a legacy at a large price. When he heard the word "inheritance" at this moment, he couldn't help but be moved .
As he was speaking, Zheng Zhonglin saw Li Hu standing beside him and was slightly stunned.
"Li Hu? What are you doing here?" Zheng Zhonglin frowned.
"Boss," Li Hu bowed respectfully. He didn't expect to meet his boss here and was speechless for a moment.
"This is Hall Master Li."
Gong Qingshu sneered, "In front of so many fellow businessmen, on behalf of the Qingyi Gang, he asked me to give him face and take some measures that disregard the rules of business to support his junior sister's business."
"After I refused, he even tried to kill me. He was really impressive."
"You are slandering me!" Li Hu said anxiously.
"Shut up!" Zheng Zhonglin shouted, "How dare you represent the Qingyi Gang? You are such a disgrace. From now on, you are no longer the leader of the Qingyi Gang. Get out of here."
Li Hu's face suddenly turned pale. He was born as a casual cultivator and climbed to this position. He didn't know how long it took him and how much effort he put in. When he came here today, he thought that with his status, it would only take a few words to solve the problem. However, he was humiliated repeatedly in public.
But in the end, he discovered that the other party's backer was actually his own gang leader.
"Master, you are wise. Even if you no longer protect our business alliance, I, Gong Qingshu, will never forget you ."
Gong Qingshu spoke with a double meaning and extended his hand to invite him.
"snort!"
Ignoring Li Hu who was standing there in a daze, Zheng Zhonglin snorted coldly and walked towards the main table.
When he looked up, he saw a man and a woman sitting at the grand table, with their backs to this place as if nothing had happened.
With everyone standing up to greet the scene, it seemed extremely glaring.
Zheng Zhonglin frowned.
"You still have the nerve to sit here, get out of here! If it weren't for the important matter of the Chamber of Commerce today, I would have killed you."
Gong Qingshu was about to explode, but the steward had already stepped forward and yelled at Wang Chen.
"We are having a business alliance gathering. When will it be your turn to sit here? Get out of here!"
There were some shouts from the crowd. They heard the identities of Wang Chen and the other man and had no scruples.
Gong Qingshu laughed in anger: "If it weren't for me, who do you think you are to be able to enter such an important place? Now you dare to disrespect Gang Leader Zheng. For Gang Leader Zheng's sake, I will give you a chance. Now kneel down and kowtow three times to everyone, and I will let you go."
It would be very easy for him to take down the Qianyun Chamber of Commerce and kill a casual cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Condensation. He was not in a hurry, especially since the current situation was not suitable for killing.
"Young Master Qingshu is so generous. Such disrespect can be resolved by just bowing." Someone shook his head and sighed.
A voice seemed to pierce through all the sound waves and came out clearly:
"I'll give you a chance too. If you kneel down and kowtow three times to Miss Qian, I'll spare your life."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked at Wang Chen as if he were a madman, almost thinking that they had heard it wrong.
