The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 28: Bewitching? No, Bait

The admiral lowered his head, picked up the knife and fork, and cut the steak on the plate. Without raising his head, he said lightly: "Tell me about your origins." Then he picked up a small piece of beef and put it in his mouth, tasting it with relish.

"I'm from overseas and grew up on a continent called America." Wang Yi said as he skillfully picked up the knife and fork and started eating the steak on the table.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" The admiral looked at the calm demeanor of the young man at the opposite table, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It is common for common people to be afraid of officials, let alone the fact that the other party is just a little boy who grew up in a barbarian land. How could he be so fearless?
"My lord, do you want to kill me? Or is there something about me that the admiral dislikes?" Wang Yi asked vaguely while chewing the beef in his mouth. He still had some ability to read people's expressions. Since the other party was not disliked, he would naturally take advantage of the situation and take a further step.

The admiral picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth, shook his head lightly, and smiled faintly: "Not really. If I were not in that position, I would appreciate your actions of disrupting the dock and spending money to benefit the people."

"Because of you, the incident where the foreigners accidentally injured the vegetable vendor had a good result, which saved me a lot of trouble."

He has been troubled by Huang Feihong during this period of time. If this problem is solved, he can avoid being harassed by this annoying guy further.

Wang Yi's eyes flickered slightly, it was time to start baiting, and he changed the subject and said: "I can solve more troubles for you, sir, but I don't know if you will give me this opportunity?"

"Oh? Interesting... Tell me about it. I'm also curious about what other troubles I have." The admiral leaned back with an interested look on his face.

Although this humble person is young, he speaks and acts very maturely and calmly. If possible, he is very interested in having him help him.

"For example, matters concerning the militia, matters concerning returning to Beijing, your Excellency's official career... and the wealth and prosperity of future generations." Wang Yi smiled faintly, his words being unusually blunt.

The admiral's expression changed again and again. He suddenly stood up, slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you! You want to deceive me? Who gave you the courage?"

Having been an official for so many years, he has heard all kinds of misleading words. If he could be easily misled by words, he would not have the position he has today.

Upon seeing this, the officers around drew their swords from their waists and quickly surrounded Wang Yi. The musketeers in the distance immediately raised their muskets and aimed at him.

Wang Yi glanced at the officers around him and said helplessly, "Please calm down, Admiral. Since I dare to ask this, I will naturally be prepared. I have something in my arms. Would you be so kind as to take a look at it?"

Although he looks fearless, his nerves are tense to the extreme and he is ready to fight back at any time.

The admiral suppressed the anger on his face, stretched out his hand and sneered, "Give it to me, I want to see what tricks you are up to. If you don't have an explanation today, you don't have to think about leaving."

Wang Yi took out the plan from his pocket and handed it to the admiral, saying confidently: "Your Excellency, please take a look at this and decide whether to convict me of the crime of incitement."

This business plan is not the original one, but a version that he has carefully edited. The bait needs to be given little by little, otherwise you won't be able to catch big fish.

If he really gave it all at once, the other party might abandon him and work on his own, or even think of killing him to silence him for his own sake.

"Huh! You are quite confident."

The admiral couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the young man's confident and calm attitude. He snorted softly, took the paper and flipped through it casually.

Limin Commercial Bank Business Plan:
Foreigners are eyeing us covetously, and the country is politically corrupt and people's livelihood is in decline. The world is facing internal and external troubles. Now that we know the disadvantages, we should think of ways to save the people.

Empty talk will ruin the country and hurt the people!
The strategy to save the people should be based on benefiting the people and avoid empty attacks.

When the people are prosperous, the country is strong; when the people are safe, the country is peaceful.

……

"Hmm? Interesting. You can leave." The admiral looked up at the boy at the opposite table and waved his hand to signal the officers to leave. After sitting down, he moved the plate on the table in front of him, spread out the entire paper, and read it carefully.

Upon seeing this, the officers around looked at each other, silently put away their weapons and retreated.

Wang Yi smiled slightly and lowered his head to eat. As long as the other party could read it patiently, the matter was already mostly settled. The next step was to discuss the details of the cooperation.

He understood that it was easier to get things done if he had someone in the court, and in the future he could use the power of the Westernization Movement to promote some of his subsequent plans.

After a cup of tea.

The admiral read the contents of the paper three times before folding it up with a serious expression. He tapped the table lightly with his right index finger and said solemnly:

"Tell me the purpose and desire of the person behind you. Don't fool me, or you won't be able to leave this door today."

He didn't believe that the plan in his arms was written by the young man in front of him. The reason was that it was too perfect and too comprehensive, and every time it came to the core of practical operation, the following content would come to an abrupt end.

It looks like a development plan of Limin Commercial Bank, but in fact it is a grand plan for Westernized industries that concerns the foundation of the country.

The most important thing is that the above five-year plan and ten-year plan are not empty talk, but things that can be put into practice, which truly achieves the goal of avoiding empty talk and striking at the concrete.

Wang Yi smiled and bowed, saying, "I come from an overseas family that has been doing business for generations. The purpose of coming back this time is very simple. I want to return to my roots and seek more benefits."

"Really? I don't really believe it." The admiral sneered, stood up and said, "Follow me, this is not the place to talk." Then he walked out of the restaurant.

Wang Yi shrugged, stood up and followed. Next it was time to show his ability to deceive people, something he was very confident about.

As long as the other party wants to go further in his official career and wants to save the Qing Dynasty from decline, he will not have the intention to kill him. Even if he is suspicious of him, he will still cooperate with him.

The officers behind him followed in a strict and orderly formation, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Wang Yi's retreat.

"Young Master!" As soon as I stepped out of the western restaurant, I heard Yan Zhendong's shouting from the crowd in the distance.

Wang Yi looked in the direction of the voice, stopped and bowed. "Please wait a moment, sir. I have something to discuss with the store owner."

"Well, let's get the dock back in operation as soon as possible." The admiral glanced at the seven burly men in black clothes scattered around and nodded calmly.

"I will." Wang Yi smiled, walked up to Yan Zhendong, waved his hand and said, "Listen to me, when you go back, go to Dongyang Trading Company to find Mr. Li immediately and ask him to send someone to help you restore order at the dock as soon as possible."

"The Admiral and I still have some things to discuss, so we will be back later. Please wait patiently and don't cause any trouble."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the admiral's side, and slowly left the western restaurant with him.

"Master Yan, the captain wants to see you." A burly man in black clothes came to Yan Zhendong and whispered.

"Lead the way." Yan Zhendong withdrew his gaze worriedly, turned around and followed the burly man in tight clothes out of the western restaurant.

The burly men in black clothes and tight clothes who were scattered around quickly gathered together and slowly followed Yan Zhendong away.
