The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 42: Aftermath, the Admiral's Headache
Yan Zhendong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was resolved smoothly. He asked respectfully, "Sir, what should we do next?"

Wang Yi looked around at the noisy crowd and the crowded dock, frowned slightly, and ordered:
"Evacuate the crowd, get the dock back into operation as soon as possible, and carefully search the merchant ships to see if any civilians have been left behind. Oh, and confiscate all the foreign guns on board and send them to the mansion." After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Ask Wu Meng to see me."

After saying this, he waved his hand, walked slowly to the river bank and stood still, gazing at the river in the distance and lost in thought.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhendong silently clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and waved his hand, and began to evacuate the crowd on the dock with the remaining guards of the company and a group of laborers around.

With the evacuation of people from Liming Trading Company, the crowd gradually dispersed and order at the dock was slowly restored.

As the crowd of onlookers dispersed, what happened at the dock today spread quickly through word of mouth, and the name of Liming Trading Company gradually penetrated into the hearts of the people of Foshan. More and more people praised the righteous act of Liming Trading Company and developed a sense of respect for Wang Yi and everyone in the trading company.

Wu Meng hurried over, came behind Wang Yi, bowed and said: "Sir, you are looking for me?"

Wang Yi looked at the surging river surface, his eyes looking into the distance, as if he could see through the waves and see the scenery farther away, and he slowly explained:
"The aftermath of the three laborers must be carried out in a practical manner, and everything must be done in accordance with the company's regulations. You must follow up on this matter personally and make sure there are no mistakes."

"Those of the rescued civilians who are willing to stay in the trading company can stay, and those who are not willing will be handed over to the government office for processing. The wages of the dock laborers will be increased by 50 wen as a reward for their actions today."

"The internal publicity of the Chamber of Commerce must be done well. A sense of belonging, honor, and responsibility... these are all indispensable spiritual forces for the Chamber of Commerce. Every Chamber of Commerce member must understand that their efforts are seen and remembered by the Chamber of Commerce. If outsiders bully them, the Chamber of Commerce will also stand up for them..."

"The development of the company is inseparable from the hard work of everyone. As long as they work sincerely for the company, the company will never treat anyone unfairly."

……

Wu Meng bowed slightly, listened quietly with a serious expression, and his admiration for Wang Yi grew deeper and deeper.

A businessman with a kind heart is rare, and he has never heard of or seen such a person before.

Most of the businessmen in the world are profit-oriented. He has never seen anyone like the boss in front of him.

After Wang Yi arranged all the aftermath matters, he turned around, patted Wu Meng on the shoulder, and said solemnly:

"The internal ideological work of the company must be done well. Only when everyone is united can the company go further. Work hard. Being the head of literary affairs is just your starting point. How far you can go in the future depends on your own efforts. I will not bury any talent who truly contributes to the company."

This person is quite talented and has his own understanding of business. Such talents can become independent with a little training.

The merger of Toyo Trading Company into Liming Trading Company is inevitable. Before that, the imbalance of internal factions must be taken into consideration. Allowing Wu Meng to grow up can also balance the imbalance of factions.

Wu Meng bowed solemnly and said gratefully: "Thank you for your appreciation, sir. I will not disappoint you and do every task at hand seriously."

He is truly grateful to his current employer.

Having fallen into poverty, he has become accustomed to the fickleness of human nature and the cruelty of the world.

Joining Limin Commercial Bank not only helped him solve his family’s difficulties, but also allowed him to experience the rare warm side of society.

He sincerely hopes that Liming Commercial Bank will continue to grow and allow more people to experience this warmth.

Wang Yi smiled gently: "Go and do your work, I need to go to the government office." After that, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the dock.

"Hello, boss!"

"Master, take care!"

"My boss..."

……

When the laborers and guards of the merchant companies along the way saw Wang Yi coming, they would stop and greet him respectfully. Wang Yi would also smile and nod in response, which made many people feel close to him and feel a stronger sense of belonging to the merchant company.

……

The Foshan Yamen stands between prosperity and vicissitudes, like a quiet world, carrying the world's authority and order.

In front of the government office, a pair of majestic lions squatted, their eyes like copper bells staring ahead, as if warning the evil people in the world.

Above the door lintel, three large characters "Foshan Prefecture" are engraved with sharp strokes and majestic momentum, demonstrating the majesty of the government.

The courtyards are paved with blue bricks and have winding stone steps.

Several ancient trees stand tall with lush branches and leaves, adding a bit of vitality to this solemn place.

There are several red lanterns hanging in the corridor, swaying in the wind, with mottled light and shadow, as if telling the long years of the past.

The lobby is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings.

Admiral Nalan Yuande, dressed in official uniform, sat upright in the hall. The mirror and plaque hanging above him added a bit of solemnity and majesty to him.

At this moment, he was looking at the guards of Limin Trading Company below, as well as the foreigners like Jishan who were forced to kneel on the ground, and rubbed his brows with a headache.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave office, Wang Yi brought him a big trouble.

Nearly seventy foreigners cannot be killed at will, even if they have committed the capital crime of human trafficking.

Lin Shirong looked at the admiral who was rubbing his brows, frowned and said, "Since you can't make up your mind, why don't you wait until our boss arrives before making a decision?"

Jishan said fearlessly: "Admiral, I have a good relationship with General Wiggins of the United Kingdom, and I also have contacts with many diplomats. This matter is obviously Limin Trading Company framing me. You'd better give us an explanation, otherwise..."

"Bang! Ugh..."

Lin Shirong turned around with an angry look on his face, kicked Jishan in the abdomen, spitted in disgust, and snorted: "Humph! You dare to quibble about something with irrefutable evidence. I think you are really tired of living."

"Fuck, you are lynching..."

"Huh? Are you scolding me? You're looking for death!"

"Ah! Ah..."

The admiral looked at Lin Shirong who was constantly beating Jishan, frowned, slammed the table with an unhappy expression, and shouted:
"Stop it! This is in the government office, not in Limin Commercial Bank."

After saying this, he instructed the yamen runners in the hall: "First send Jishan and his men to the prison for custody. I will make a decision after I have verified what happened."

"Yes." The bailiffs in the hall all accepted the order, then took Jishan and others from the guards of the trading company and escorted them to the prison of the government office.

Before leaving, Jishan endured the pain, glanced coldly at Lin Shirong and others, and swore in his heart that he would take revenge.

"Okay, you all can leave. What happens next is not your concern." The admiral stood up, waved his hand, turned around and left the lobby directly.

Lin Shirong frowned, did not dare to do anything rash, turned around and left with the others.
