Chapter 1009 Nothing can be done
Although Zheng Chaoyang could not understand the doubts and arrangements made by his superiors, he still made a detailed report as required by his superiors. He even tried his best to make a written report of the content of his conversation with Suning and others.

However, after submitting this detailed report, Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan went directly to the police training class, and were about to start his tragic and depressing police career again.

A female student from the training class walked straight towards Zheng Chaoyang. "Zheng Chaoyang?"

"I'm Zheng Chaoyang! Do you know me?" Zheng Chaoyang looked at the beautiful girl in front of him in some surprise, and also smelled a faint scent of perfume on the female classmate in front of him.

"I don't know you! I've heard of you! I'm Bai Ling, nice to meet you." Then Bai Ling stretched out her hand to Zheng Chaoyang in a concise manner.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Zheng Chaoyang asked directly after shaking hands with Bai Ling.

"I heard that you are a local of Sijiu City, so I want to consult you on something."

"Okay! Just ask whatever you want."

"Nine inside, seven outside, four in the imperial city, nine gates, eight codes, one bell—what does that mean?"

"That's it? Why are you interested in this?" Zheng Chaoyang was puzzled by Bai Ling's question.

"Because I'm from the south and may have to work in the Forbidden City in the future, I want to understand some of the stories about the Forbidden City."

"So that's how it is! Actually, this allusion is unique to the city of Beijing. It means..."

"Zheng Chaoyang, I also heard that in 1947, a building with three underground floors and nine above-ground floors was built on Qianmen Street in the old city. They are the Starry Sea Hotel and the Jieyou Grocery Store. I wonder if you, Zheng Chaoyang, are very familiar with this building?" After the initial mutual exploration and familiarity, Bai Ling asked the biggest question of this trip.

"Not too sure! I remember there was also a Jieyou grocery store in Moscow, the Soviet Union. Since you are an expert who studied in the Soviet Union, you should know something about it, right?" Zheng Chaoyang's eyes just flickered for a moment, and then he had guessed the general purpose of Bai Ling's visit.

"Zheng Chaoyang, I feel that you are very resistant to mentioning this Jieyou Grocery Store. Are you really closely related to this Jieyou Grocery Store?" However, Bai Ling was not willing to let Zheng Chaoyang go, but instead launched a more fierce questioning.

At this time, Hao Pingchuan and others who were watching on the side also noticed the abnormality of the two people. They looked at each other in surprise and then dispersed on their own initiative. They were all successful immortals in cultivation and naturally understood many taboos.

"Bai Ling, I don't understand what you mean, and I hope you won't make too many groundless guesses." Zheng Chaoyang suddenly looked at the woman in front of him meaningfully. He had already felt deep hostility from this woman.

"Zheng Chaoyang, let me formally introduce myself. I am your successor. I will go to Sijiu City to negotiate with Suning as soon as possible, so I hope you can give me the help I need." Seeing that she had aroused the suspicion of Zheng Chaoyang, Bai Ling simply revealed her true identity.

"I'm sorry! I can't do anything about it! I've only met Suning twice, and he's been overseas inspecting factories most of the time. I've been communicating with Lucas, the manager of the Jieyou Grocery Store in Peking."

"Then why does he trust you so much and claim that he will only work with you?" Bai Ling then asked her biggest question without hiding anything.

"Trust is a wonderful thing! Some people long for it and dream about it day and night, while others get it inexplicably." In fact, Zheng Chaoyang himself also felt puzzled by this issue, as if Suning knew everything about him very well.

"That makes sense indeed! But I still want to know why a businessman like Suning would be so fond of you."

"Simple! You can just ask the other person directly. I'm actually more curious than you are."

Seeing that Zheng Chaoyang was unable to provide her with any valuable information, Bai Ling was undoubtedly feeling very depressed, and she became even more disgusted with her new job.

Last year, when Bai Ling was studying in Moscow, Soviet Union, she did go to the Moscow branch of Jieyou Grocery Store out of curiosity. She was still surprised that such a huge shehuizhuyi country could have such a private store.

It also shows the attitude of the people in the Soviet Union towards the Jieyou Grocery Store. After all, the Jieyou Grocery Store can provide a variety of supplies to the Soviet people, which is not something that an ordinary small business can easily do.

After Bai Ling returned to China this time, her superiors actually sent her to contact this company, which actually made Bai Ling feel quite repulsive.

However, the task assigned by the superior leader is more important than anything else. No matter how much Bai Ling does not understand and resists it, she must go to Sijiu City to carry it out without hesitation.

Soon the training class finished the simple training work, and then the students were dispersed to various places in the old city, and began to take over the public security issues in the old city.

Zheng Chaoyang, who returned to the city of Sijiu again, was undoubtedly very emotional. He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of joy as if a king had returned. He was also driven out by Wan Linsheng of the Secret Service.

At this time, Bai Ling also came to the Jieyou Grocery Store as a police officer, and then went to the top-floor office of the Starry Sea Hotel to meet Suning.

Bai Ling looked at Su Ning with a smile on her face, but her inner rejection and vigilance could not be hidden. "Hello, Mr. Su! I'm Bai Ling. I will take over Zheng Chaoyang's job in the future."

"Welcome! Welcome!" Su Ning, to Bai Ling's surprise, smiled widely. He then pointed to Lucas and introduced him to Bai Ling, saying, "This is Lucas, the manager of the Jieyou Grocery Store's Peking branch. He's in charge of all domestic trade matters. From now on, you two can just communicate directly."

"Hello, Miss Bai Ling! I'm Lucas." At this time, Lucas on the side also shook hands with Bai Ling with a smile to express his welcome and joy for Bai Ling's coming.

"Hello, Manager Lucas! Nice to meet you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future." Bai Ling first shook hands with Lucas politely, then turned to look at Su Ning beside her and said directly, "Mr. Su, I'm here mainly to ask if we can discuss the payment method?"

"Oh? What do you say, Miss Bai?"

"In the past, Jieyou Grocery Store only required payment in gold, silver, and dollars, which we find unacceptable. Therefore, it would be best if we could use RMB for payment from now on. In addition, Jieyou Grocery Store's penicillin price is too high. You must give us a more reasonable price next time."

"Ms. Bai, our Jieyou Grocery Store only accepts transactions in precious metals like gold, silver, and dollars. Also, if you think our penicillin price is too high, we can discuss the penicillin production line. We're interested in selling an internationally leading pharmaceutical production line."

"Mr. Su, why do you suddenly want to sell your Worry-Free Grocery Store?"

"The main reason is that business is too difficult. Recently, the Soviet Union's Penicillin has been trying to destroy everything. Our Su Group's industries are too dispersed. Next, we will sell all the hardware, pharmaceutical, food, beverage and textile factories in China. If you are interested in taking over these factories, you can contact and negotiate directly with Manager Lucas." "..." Bai Ling didn't expect Suning to be so impatient. He looked like he was unwilling to have a deep conversation with her. She couldn't help but think of the rumors about Suning and Zheng Chaoyang. "Mr. Su, I still want to discuss the payment method with you. I wonder if you can make some concessions?"

"Miss Bai, this question is completely unavailable! Although our Jieyou Grocery Store uses rubles for transactions with the Soviet Union, aside from a small amount exchanged for precious metals like gold and silver in the market, or for the purchase of some grain and oil products produced in Ukraine, most of it just sits on the books meaninglessly. Therefore, we will no longer use currency to trade products."

"This will make your business difficult." At this moment, Bai Ling couldn't help but say something threatening, forcing Suning to make concessions again and again.

"It doesn't matter! Miss Bai, our Jieyou Grocery Store has been really busy lately. The large amount of second-hand warships retired from European and American countries alone is enough to give us a headache, so we won't have time to entertain Miss Bai next time."

"Second-hand warship?" Bai Ling suddenly felt that Suning was saying this deliberately for her to hear.

"Yes! After World War II, many European and American countries were looking to sell these decommissioned warships. At that time, our Su Group took over all of them for a bargain. A small number of warships were converted into seagoing cargo ships, but the majority of them are docked at the shipyard in Yangon, Myanmar. So now we are looking for capable clients to sell them at a low price."

"..." At this moment, Bai Ling was undoubtedly very excited, because they needed this batch of second-hand warships so much.

However, Suning also said this deliberately for Bai Ling to hear. There is no better quality customer than them. If Suning wants to avoid losing money, it must sell it to them.

"Ms. Bai, our Worry-Solving Grocery Store's quote and payment method are our bottom line. If you really dislike the high price, then we can only make peace with each other and hope that we can still cooperate next time."

"Mr. Su, I have understood your conditions. I will definitely mention this to our leader as soon as possible."

"Ms. Bai, I'm not responsible for the specific affairs of the Su Group. If you need anything in the future, please contact Manager Lucas directly."

"Okay! Sorry to bother Mr. Su today."

After Bai Ling left Starry Sea with a look of disappointment, Suning immediately looked at Lucas and said, "Lucas, it's clear this isn't going to work! Next, notify Lawrence in Myanmar. We should focus on Myanmar from now on."

"Yes! Master."

"After the matter of the Fortress of Myanmar is concluded, I will go to Burma as soon as possible to personally take charge. Have Lawrence in Burma help me contact U Nu and Aung San. You can agree to their permission to grant me Burmese citizenship. I also request a position in the Burmese army. This time, I want to build a perfect ideal country."

"Yes! Master."

Suning’s control over Myanmar is now very strong. After all, after the high-tech liquid chip has been improved, the previous adverse side effects have been greatly reduced.

This high-tech liquid chip can not only provide the host with a variety of war experiences and knowledge, but also completely change the host's thoughts and loyalty. It can be said to be a weakened version of an AI robot.

At present, the Su Group has secretly hidden a violent armed organization with a number of up to 60,000 people in the name of factory protection security teams in Yangon and Mandalay.

With just one order from Suning, this group of violent armed forces can come out from the dark, which will definitely allow Suning to complete its transformation plan.

After Bai Ling returned to the Sijiucheng Military Control Commission, she immediately found her superior Luo Yong to report the situation.

"Bai Ling, do you feel disgusted by this Suning?"

"Yes! I can sense that he understands my situation very well, but he doesn't agree to change the payment method or lower the price. Instead, he's willing to sell us the factories around Fortress City, including a pharmaceutical factory that specializes in penicillin production."

"Oh? It seems that this Suning wants to leave."

"Also, Su Ning came and told me that the Su Group has a large number of second-hand warships docked at the Yangon Shipyard. From what he said, they're actually willing to sell them to us at a low price."

"Hmph! They're obviously some junky ships with poor hulls, or they're ships that are seriously behind the international advanced level."

"Director Luo, I feel this kind of professional matter should be left to professionals to assess. We just need to report this matter."

"Well, Bai Ling, you're right! Maybe I was a little too preconceived."

"Director Luo, since Suning is so against us changing personnel, can we let Zheng Chaoyang take charge of this matter again?"

"Bai Ling, although the other party didn't agree to our terms, they didn't reject the deal outright. I don't think it's necessary for Zheng Chaoyang to take over."

"Director Luo, Suning has been avoiding direct communication with me, instead handing it over to Lucas, the manager of the Jieyou Grocery Store in Peking."

"I know Lucas. Zheng Chaoyang used to work directly with Lucas, so this incident doesn't mean anything."

"Okay! Once my superiors make a decision, I will contact the manager named Lucas directly."

"Overall, Suning is a decent businessman, without the flaws that other businessmen often face. The investigation by higher-ups also revealed no issues, proving Zheng Chaoyang didn't embezzle money from the transactions in public."

"Yes! Director Luo, I know what to do."
