The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 54

The Luoxia City Branch of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was the last branch to come to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to hand over work before the Immortal Ascension Conference.

Luoxia City is located in the southern part of Zhongzhou. Its land is fertile and flat, and there are countless waterways, lakes, and canals within its jurisdiction. The climate is smooth and rainy all year round, and the hydrothermal environment is very suitable for growing grain. It is the leading grain-producing area in Zhongzhou.

Among the more than 30 overseas branches established by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, the Luoxia City branch is the farthest from Haiya City, with a distance of nearly 2000 kilometers. Even if ordinary people use waterways to go back and forth, it will take nearly a month.

Similar to Haiya City, the ruler of Luoxia City is a third-rate sect called Luoxia Sect.Thanks to the good relationship between the Golden Knife Gate and the Luoxia Sect, although the Luoxia Sect is far away from Haiya City, the Luoxia City Branch is the first branch established by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, mainly engaged in grain trade.

The general manager of the Luoxia City Branch is named He Mingyuan. He is a man in his forties with a square face. He is dressed plainly, has a resolute expression, and has piercing eyes. He looks like a good cadre who "serves the people" .

He Mingyuan was originally a senior local grain trading broker in Luoxia City. He has nearly 18 years of experience in the industry since he was 20 years old. However, his luck seems to be not very good. The previous two employers suffered huge losses due to the sharp fluctuations in grain prices. collapse.

It is precisely because of the name of the God of Decline that this unlucky ghost has not been able to find another job for a long time.

Li Qingning took a fancy to his nearly 20 years of work experience, so he took the opportunity to hunt for mistakes, recruited this well-known business elite, and appointed him as the general manager of the Luoxia City Branch of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Due to the long distance from Luoxia City, this Manager He barely made it to the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce until before the Ascension to Immortal Conference was officially held. There is his deputy Li Feng.

According to the rules of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, He Mingyuan should report to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce on the day he arrived at Haiya City, but because Li Qingning recently left for the Wuliang Sword Sect to visit Li Qingyang, and the Luoxia City branch is already the last one that needs to hand over work. For the branch office, Yang Lu was not in a hurry to let them come over, so he asked He Mingyuan to rest for two days at the inn of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce.

As an "affordable" dual-purpose hotel for passengers and merchants, the living conditions of He Mingyuan and others cannot be compared with that of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Not only are the rooms small, but the decoration and services can be described as shabby. With the bright light, the residents can even see the dense spider webs that have not been cleaned in the corners.

However, He Mingyuan didn't have any complaints about his poor living conditions.Even though it was already late, he still checked the ledger carefully with the help of the dim light of the oil lamp, for fear of missing any details.

On the contrary, Li Feng, a trusted subordinate who lived in the same room with him, couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help complaining: "Guan He, it's getting late, and the accommodation conditions that Qingning Chamber of Commerce will provide us, your boss Why are you working so hard!"

He Mingyuan said with a serious expression: "The salary of eating the king, and the things of being loyal to the king, these are all things I should do!"

Li Feng was very speechless about He Mingyuan's almost paranoid obsession with moral cleanliness, and couldn't help muttering: "Look at the treatment of other branches, and then look at the treatment of our Luoxia City branch, it doesn't seem like working in the same chamber of commerce..."

He Mingyuan must have heard the complaints from his subordinates, but his expression didn't change at all, and he didn't even take his eyes off the account book in front of him: "I can't control the corruption and corruption of the other branch managers, but I, He Mingyuan, will never allow my subordinates to harm the interests of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce! I'm born with bad luck, and I've already ruined two employers, if I don't have this honest name, I'll have nothing!"

Facing He Mingyuan's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, Li Feng's expression was very complicated.

In the eyes of He Mingyuan's subordinates, the staff of other branches of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Some people come to the headquarters of Haiya City to report to work, and they have to book rooms in Haiya Pavilion in advance.

On the other hand, the Luoxia City Branch, every time they go on a business trip, they feel like they are suffering, and they refuse to spend more than half a cent.

Everyone is working for Li Qingning, it's fine for He Mingyuan to be a saint himself, but now even ordinary workers like them are going to be unlucky, who can explain this!
But in any case, He Mingyuan's strict requirements on himself really made these subordinates feel awe from the bottom of their hearts. After all, no one would not be in awe of a living saint who is strict with self-discipline.

Li Feng just wanted to complain a few more words, when he saw He Mingyuan slapped the table violently, and angrily said: "What's wrong with this! Why did you miss a reimbursement of 2 yuan Lingshi coins for the travel expenses for the report to the headquarters this time?" Documents!"

Li Feng immediately complained: "He Guanshi, we have been exhausted all the way, and there are hundreds of various reimbursement receipts along the way, and the total amount is only more than 100 Lingshi coins. It is no big deal to lose one or two receipts! "

"It's ridiculous!" He Mingyuan didn't accept Li Feng's statement at all, and took the case on the spot, "If you don't have a receipt, you can't ask the Chamber of Commerce for reimbursement, and the deficit must be deducted from your wages... As the chief manager of the branch, I also have an unshirkable responsibility. Leadership responsibility, this month's wages will also be deducted 1 Yuan Lingshi coins as usual!"

Hearing that wages would be deducted again, Li Feng almost wanted to die.But he also knew that it was useless to continue arguing, because He Mingyuan was born with the style of doing things without rubbing his eyes. What's more, as the top leader of the branch, he didn't make any mistakes at all, and he was willing to take the initiative to bear half of the losses. , even less qualified to protest.

Noticing the gloomy expressions of his subordinates, He Mingyuan slowly closed the account book in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't found any other problems for the time being, and handing in this account book should barely be worthy of Miss Qingning's trust in our Luoxia City branch."

It's not just that I'm sorry!
I'm afraid we treat Li Qingning better than our own mother!
But seeing that He Mingyuan didn't find out any other problems, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Reminiscent of what he saw and heard at the inn during the day, he couldn't help but mention another thing: "Guard He, I heard that our chamber of commerce has recently hired a very powerful consultant. It is said that many veterans of corruption have fallen for this person." hands!"

"Oh? How is this person so powerful?" He Mingyuan's tone was flat, as if this was just a trivial matter.

"I don't know the details. It is said that when Advisor Yang first started arresting people, everyone didn't pay much attention to him. They just thought that he caught everyone off guard by making a sudden attack. But later, many branch managers obviously made arrangements in advance. Confession, but was caught by this person for corruption, and everyone gradually realized that this person's method is not simple!"

He Mingyuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and then quickly returned to normal: "No matter how powerful this person is, it has nothing to do with us. I, He Mingyuan, have a clear conscience in this life. Can he still forcefully frame him?"

Li Feng scratched his head and said, "That's not what I mean, I just think that you are so far-sighted. We didn't understand why you were so strict with everyone before, but now it seems that 'people are doing it, and the sky is watching'. Colleagues from the branch who spent their money on public funds not only spit out all the stolen money, but were even forced to sign a sell-off deed to pay off their debts, and we didn’t even need to make a confession in advance, and we were able to pass the test easily. Now everyone is lucky, and they all understand that you treat us The strict requirements of the past!"

He Mingyuan's stern face with Chinese characters rarely showed a smile: "The headquarters has sent a notice, and tomorrow is the day of debriefing. I want to see if this Consultant Yang is as powerful as the legend says!"
