Above Destiny

Chapter 407 A Small Gift
Three minutes later, the barricades were removed, the fences were set aside, and the gate was opened.

The shabby truck drove into Xinquan amidst many surprised looks and drove along the avenue. For a moment, no matter the driver, the bearded man or the entourage, their expressions could no longer conceal their astonishment and surprise.

I had an illusion that I had taken the wrong road and entered the city.

The still bustling night market is just ordinary, at best just a big fair.

But everything else...

The asphalt road had already been paved during the first phase of expansion, and even in the alleys, the compacted ground was paved with gravel.

The street lights were crude and simple, with lines even drawn on the ground.

The streets do not have the messy or dirty feeling of any settlement. Although they cannot be said to be spotless, there is no feces or urine scattered everywhere.

The bluestone slabs on both sides of the road were deliberately separated by gaps, so that one could see the rainwater flowing away after a shower, which meant that there was a sewer here.

It's not just the sewers, there are also shabby trash cans placed on both sides of the road at a distance. They're not even full of trash, and there are even sanitation workers here.

As for the brightly lit street lamps and the crisscrossing yet neatly organized cables, every bit of them demonstrates the "luxury" that distinguishes it from other settlements.

The golden houses of the settlement leaders were not uncommon, and the extravagance of some places was even more bizarre than in the city... Whether it was underground boxing matches, casinos, or many other places of extravagance, in the wilderness without Tianyuan, the extravagance was even more exaggerated. Otherwise, how could the rich people in the city flock to them?
But unfortunately, this financial resources and assets are spread out in the most inconspicuous way and displayed in front of everyone.

Even, it is foreseeable that there will be no reward at all...

If the market management fees and stall fees are considered as returns, then this low rate of return is enough to be selected into the Touching Federation and make people laugh out loud.

With the same investment, whether it is running a casino or any other place of debauchery, relying on Xinquan's popularity and key location, it is enough to become a lucrative treasure trove.

Compared with the long distance, desolate environment and even poor resources on the Thousand Islands, it has the most convenient conditions in the entire Haizhou. It is a whole gold mountain!

But some people covered it with a layer of soil and started to grow vegetables carefully.

Have fun.

It's almost beyond description.

Mr. Ji was able to go from a student with nothing to where he is today in just over a year, becoming an important figure in Yacheng and even Haizhou. No one would think that he is a fool.

Well, there aren't many possibilities left.

Either he has big ambitions and there are some unspeakable secrets behind it, for example - his current investment is just a disguise, he wants to attract more and more people here, and then completely sacrifice them overnight!
After all, he is a craftsman, and there is nothing wrong with doing this from a stereotypical perspective.

Or maybe he was just simply...

not give a damn about?.

The moment this guess came to his mind, the bearded man almost laughed at himself, but when he looked at the scene in front of him, the smile on his face disappeared completely before it could even appear.

My heart sank slightly.

He looked solemn.

I'm afraid it won't be easy this time...

"Don't look around. Be polite when you meet people later. Do you understand?"

The bearded man looked back at his entourage, expressionless: "If you ruin the general's business, you know the consequences..."

"Don't worry, Fourth Master."

The burly man with a mouth full of gold teeth grinned, "I'll keep my mouth shut for a while and not cause any trouble... Ming, Ming, speak!"

He nudged his companion with his elbow. The young man, whose skin was as pale as a dead person, was chewing gum impatiently. He was about to say something, but when he saw the pair of eyes looking at him in the rearview mirror, he was stunned and nodded slowly.

So, an agreement was reached.

The broken car slowly drove into the factory area on the coast, and after arriving at the office building, it went straight up.

When passing by the window of the Finance Department, everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment, their eyes drawn to the scene behind the fence where people were still working overtime.

A lot of gold sand piled up into small hills, and the gold bars melted between crucibles and instruments were piled up into a small hill on the cart and sent into the open warehouse.

The dazzling golden light behind the corner...

Behind Tu Sihai, the man with a mouth full of gold teeth couldn't help licking his lips and sniffing. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Tu Sihai's gaze and immediately shut up.

Follow closely behind.

Until I opened that door.

At the end of the cubicle, there is an ordinary general manager's office with no decoration except for tables, chairs and cabinets.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't gotten enough sleep. I feel sleepy at night."

The overly young man lowered his head, holding the kettle that had just been heated, and smiled warmly: "No one comes here on weekdays, so I only have some old tea leaves. I apologize for the poor hospitality." "Hey, hey, hey, you are so busy, we are the ones who disturbed you."

Tu Sihai grinned, laughed, and took the initiative to extend his hand, extremely enthusiastic. After shaking hands with Ji Jue, he handed over a business card with both hands, very humble: "It's a small business, not a big deal, thank you for your care."

【Longdao Chamber of Commerce Tu Sihai】

Ji Jue took the business card and looked at the bearded man who was smiling in front of him. His smile was full of enthusiasm and sincerity, and exuded incredible vitality that made people trust him.

Just like a salesman who visits customers' homes with a magic bag, he helps them solve all the problems in life, big or small.

Whether it's a clogged drain or a moldy sink, he always has something good.

"Longdao Chamber of Commerce?"

After Ji Jue asked him to sit down, he asked curiously, "We don't seem to have much cooperation, right? We haven't dealt with each other before."

"Once is strange, twice is familiar."

Tu Sihai picked up the teacup with a smile, not disdaining the old tea, showing his loyalty and honesty: "Of course, compared with big platforms like the Libra Chamber of Commerce and the Taiyi Ring, our small regional maritime chamber of commerce is just a small fight.

However, being small also has its advantages, Mr. Ji."

Tu Sihai smiled meaningfully: "The boats are light and flexible, with shallow draft and easy turning. There are also many types, and we can provide customers with more thoughtful services."

There are thousands of islands scattered across the endless sea. Some are blessed with abundant resources, but most are barren places. They cannot be compared with continents like the Federation and the Empire, but they are better than the meat grinder and mud pit like Middle-earth.

It plays a role of connecting the upper and lower levels and linking all parties, so that alternative buying and selling and trade have never been interrupted.

The Taiyi Ring is not allowed to be sold, and the Tianping Chamber of Commerce will not help you find it. You can't find it openly, and you can't see it...

Why not ask us small chambers of commerce?

As long as you pay, you can get ashes of grudges, artificial resentful spirits, fresh organs, embryo specimens, fresh bone marrow, or even the remnants of natural disasters or even worse evil creatures. We have everything!

"is it?"

Ji Jue raised his eyebrows, as if he understood, and exclaimed sincerely: "That's really amazing!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Tu Sihai was stunned on the spot. He was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked behind him and waved his hand. Immediately, a man with a mouth full of gold teeth came up and picked up the box.

"It's just a small gift, please don't..."

Tu Sihai was about to speak, but was interrupted. Ji Jue shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, motioned for Jin Ya to go away, and then said after sighing:
"manifest."

“……”Tu Sihai hesitated for a moment.

Ji Jue frowned unhappily: "Aren't you the Chamber of Commerce? You said a lot, but you can't even bring the list of goods? Or do you want me to order the dishes?

also. "

He said bluntly, "You should have seen the purchase order of the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, the fundraising notice of Huangji, and the order of Taiyi Ring, right? If you can bring out one of the two blessings, Jiansu Baopu and Longxiong Baobian, the price will be easy to negotiate. From now on, Xinquan will have more business with you."

"..."

Instantly, Tu Sihai's expression became more and more stunned, but he did not lose his temper. He smiled again and said frankly: "To be honest, these blessings are too rare. I haven't handled them in all these years... However, I do have a list of goods. But this time I came here because I was asked to help, so I missed something and couldn't bring anything."

"A small chamber of commerce."

Ji Jue sighed, not hiding his disappointment and regret. He had never expected anything from them from the beginning. However, before Tu Sihai could say anything else, he suddenly asked, "Let me guess, the person who entrusted you... couldn't be from the sea?"

Tu Sihai was silent for a moment, then nodded decisively.

So, Ji Jue's smile became more playful: "Let me guess again, could it be the blood-washing fleet in the northern Endless Sea?"

In the brief silence, Tu Sihai's expression did not change at all, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking. Or perhaps, as if he had expected it, his expression became more sincere and calm.

"As expected of Mr. Ji, he is quick-witted and predictable, and nothing can be hidden from him."

He pressed the box on the table and sighed, "In this case, I won't hide it. Friends who make a living on the sea are not very good at socializing, so outsiders have many misunderstandings.

In fact, we all travel around the world relying on our passion and loyalty, and we all want to make friends with talented people like Mr. Ji.

That’s why I was sent here to say hello to you…”

He opened the box in front of Ji Jue.

On the black velvet cotton pad, one small bottle after another is so exquisite, as if it was carefully crafted by a master and decorated with gorgeous decorations without any hesitation.

Crystal red flowed through it, as if it were a living thing, with dreamlike flashes emerging.

Sixteen pieces of 'liquefied life' with a purity close to 100%!
