Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 86: The Fire is Fierce, Deputy Captain Li

"Deputy Captain Li, from now on you will be in charge of Tianyi Hall, the Medicine Hall, and the black market."

Dao Xiong is very efficient in his work.

The deputy helmsman's task was completed that day.

Of course, the main thing is that Vice Leader Tang is here, so we must perform well.

"Thank you, Master Sword."

Li Rui took the badge with the number "6" written on it from Dao Xiong.

Dao Xiong was very fortunate.

After Zhao Wei died, several badges belonging to the deputy helmsman were replaced, but the badge with the number "6" remained.

Because of the delay caused by the Ghost Sect's affairs, he didn't take it seriously.

Now it saves him a lot of trouble. Moving the location is a big deal in the branch and it will take a lot of effort.

Send Dao Xiong away.

Li Rui looked at the badge with the number "6" in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

At first glance, it seemed that he, as the deputy helmsman, was just in charge of a pharmacy.

But the reality is vastly different.

Let’s put it this way, he will soon have two hall masters and a deacon working for him, and he will have the final say on personnel appointments and dismissals in the two halls and one black market.

In addition, as the deputy leader of the Qinghe branch of the Tiandi League, he can be considered to have entered the upper echelons of Qinghe.

Information asymmetry is the key to making a boss elusive.

There are many things that Li Rui, a hall master, has no chance of getting involved in.

Just as Li Rui closed the door——

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of the achievement of becoming famous - emerging as a star 2. ]

[To live well in the underworld, reputation and status are equally important. You have successfully risen to the top and gradually gained a reputation in the underworld. ]

[Complete the mission to stand out 2, rewards are being calculated]

【Task score C.】

【Get 20 achievement points! 】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 7】

[Talent: Martial Bones, Outstanding Comprehension, Spiritual Eyes]

[Kung Fu: White Ape with Sword]

[Achievement: 70/100]

Lines of small characters appeared.

"really."

Li Rui became more confident in his decision.

As long as your status rises, you will gain achievement points.

"On the first day I became the deputy helmsman, Zhou Rui and Qian Cai came to congratulate me and invited me to Hua Ye Lou for a night of drinking."

"On the second day after becoming the deputy helmsman, Ge Hong came to congratulate me and went to the Jiaofangsi to listen to music all night. How could he have the same temper as Zhang Yang?"

"On the third day after becoming the deputy helmsman, the Zhu family and the Liu family came to congratulate me. Go to Huaye Tower."

"On the fourth day of becoming the deputy helmsman, Ma Dianshi congratulated me, go..."

Li Rui seemed very proud of taking office.

I was drunk for six days in a row.

Of course, it's all pretend.

Some formalities still need to be completed, there will always be a time when they will be useful.

Not everyone is qualified to treat him to a meal, and not everyone will necessarily eat if they go.

Alcohol and sex are harmful to your health.

Li Rui certainly understood this truth. Being addicted to pleasure is a taboo for people who practice martial arts.

There are things to take and things to reject.

Be humble and modest, but also keep yourself clean.

Li Rui thought he was doing a pretty good job.

Soon, Qinghe recognized him as the deputy helmsman. Otherwise, an arrogant person who wanted to break into the upper echelons would definitely encounter many setbacks.

Gradually.

Li Rui began to refuse a lot of alcohol on the grounds of old age.

That's the benefit of being older.

You don't even have to think of excuses to reject people, and others will think there's nothing wrong with it.

Practice martial arts and read books.

Li Rui never slacked off and worked day after day.

Social skills are for others to see; strength is the real foundation.

The fire is boiling. It seems like everything is flourishing, but whoever can hold on to the end will be the real winner.

If we were to say who is most reluctant to see Li Rui become deputy helmsman, Jiang Cheng would definitely be one of them.

"We agreed on seven days, how can you go back on your word?"

When he heard that Li Rui wanted to change the schedule to once every ten days, and also asked him to take out an hour every day to open a furnace just for him, he was extremely unhappy.

Li Rui smiled slightly:
"Xiao Jiang, this is training you. If I come back in ten days and see that your alchemy skills have improved, I can come every day in the future."

Draw a pie.

This is an essential skill for all bosses.

But the taste of pancakes is very particular. Some people seek power, some seek money, and people like Jiang Cheng are the most difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, Li Rui has a keen eye.

As a resource that is even more scarce than alchemy, it is no problem to control Jiang Cheng.

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

Actually, at the beginning, Dao Xiong wanted him to be in charge of Zhongyi Hall, after all, it was easier to manage Zhongyi Hall, but Li Rui changed him to Yaotang.

To others, Jiang Cheng might be a thorn in the side.

But in his opinion, Jiang Cheng is a private alchemist who is hard to find even with a lantern, and he is the kind who likes to delve into technology.

Unpredictable.

With the black market and the pharmacy, Li Rui was able to produce and sell his own elixirs.

He used his spiritual eyes to buy spiritual medicines at low prices on the black market, and then used the free labor of Jiang Cheng to refine the spiritual medicines into elixirs.

One elixir costs five hundred taels in the pharmacy.

But Li Rui only needs fifty taels.

Ten times, that’s a full ten times price difference, enough to drive everyone crazy.

These are things that can only be fully controlled after becoming the deputy helmsman.
It is almost a consensus among the Qinghe branch that Deputy Captain Li is popular.

It's not just because he is well versed in the ways of the world, but also because of Deputy Captain Li's age.

Seventy-one years old.

At an age where even if one tries to rob something, it will be useless even if he gets it. In fact, Deputy Captain Li has always done this.

"Brother Li, please come in."

Ge Hong led Li Rui into his own house with a smile.

Different from the other deputy helmsmen.

Ge Hong originally built a huge foundation in Qinghe, and although he left the Tiandi Alliance and gave up his position as the head of the martial arts hall, he did not move into a branch like the others.

Hey!
As soon as Li Rui entered the door, he saw many young girls in Ge Hong's yard.

Up to thirty-eight, down to eighteen.

On weekdays, Ge Hong always appears to be upright and incorruptible, but I didn't expect that he is so playful in private.

Ge Hong coughed lightly:
"They were all given to me by my friends. I can't refuse. In fact, I haven't been close to women for a long time."

Li Rui nodded with a smile.

"I know."

Rumor has it that some ascetic monks, in order to strengthen their will, deliberately have beautiful women accompany them when they sleep, but they do nothing else.

Ge Hong's approach is similar to that of those people.

See Li Rui's expression.

Ge Hong knew that Li Rui didn't believe it, so he didn't bother to explain.

Sending maids to each other is a very normal thing among the top leaders in Qinghe.

Li Rui and Ge Hong walked into a pavilion.

Ge Hong has no wife or children, and is alone, but he has seven disciples. This situation is not uncommon in the martial arts world.

When traveling around the world, it is inevitable to make enemies.

If you have concerns, and you are caught by your enemies and have to watch your wife and children die tragically, it is better to be clean from the beginning.

Therefore, most martial artists treat their apprentices as their sons.

Apprentices also have the obligation to provide for their masters in their old age and to wear mourning clothes.

The two sat down.

The maid brought some seasonal fruits and a pot of tea.

Ge Hong and Li Rui were in similar situations. Both were newly appointed deputy helmsmen, so it was inevitable that they had a closer relationship.

Although Li Rui made his fortune from Zhang Yang's faction, he is now the deputy leader and it is impossible for him to hang himself on a tree.

In the midst of small talk.

Li Rui asked: "Master Ge, I am a peasant and have never met a good teacher. I would like to learn about this Qigong diagram."

Ge Hong raised his eyebrows.

This is because this Qi-flowing diagram is something that will only be used on willow tendons.
