"Husband, I know I was wrong. I will go to the Zhang family tomorrow morning to admit my mistake and return Ruyifang to them."
Seeing Li Chengqian losing his temper in public, Huo Jinxi thought she had really touched his reverse scale and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Husband, I already know I was wrong. Today is the day Zhuzhu and Jinlian are coming home, and you scared them..."
Ren Tingting tried to smooth things over.
"Well, get up. There's no need to admit your mistakes, but you should return Ruyifang to them. It's not worth it to ruin the reputation of the Third Concubine of the Governor's Mansion for such a small property. As for the business..."
"I will find a trustworthy person to help me with the business as soon as possible."
Huo Jinxi thought that Li Chengqian didn't like her doing business outside, so she quickly expressed her opinion.
"That's not what I meant. If you want to do business, then go ahead. I want to talk about the Star City Chamber of Commerce. Are you interested in helping me run it?"
After the slap, it's time to give some sweet treats; with the alternation of tension and relaxation, Li Chengqian can be said to be good at controlling his wife.
"My husband wants me to manage the Xingcheng Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber of Commerce is of great importance, and I am inexperienced, so I am afraid I am not qualified for it.
Besides, I just married into the Li family not long ago, will other members be dissatisfied?"
Born into the Huo family where all the members are strong women, how could Huo Jinxi not be interested in running the country's number one chamber of commerce?
"I just ask if you are willing. As long as you are willing, I will take care of the rest."
Unlike the information age, when one only needed to cast Skynet on the company's computers to check all accounts clearly, in today's world, accounts are settled with pen and paper, and clear accounts are of paramount importance to business.
Li Chengqian needed someone he could trust to help him keep an eye on the business of the Xingcheng Chamber of Commerce. Originally, he had specially arranged two bionic robots for this matter. Now that his wife, Huo Jinxi, could take over the business, he was naturally happy to go with the flow.

that night
Ping An Street
Zhang Qishan knocked on the door carefully, and then tiptoed into a remote courtyard.
"You are here, but you have thought of a way to seize the meteorite copper from Li Chengqian."
After knowing that the meteorite copper from Wuqingzi's tomb was obtained by Li Chengqian, the Zhang family in Northeast China has been planning how to obtain it.
Break in by force?
The Governor's Mansion is like a bottomless lake. Two years ago, in order to obtain the Ghost Seal, the Zhang family in the northeast sent three waves of experts to infiltrate.
But there was no news at all, not even a splash; it was also from that time that they realized that Li Chengqian's danger index was definitely not as simple as they saw on the surface.
"Yes and no?"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Li Chengqian asked Wuzhu to take a batch of antiques and jewelry to the Crescent Hotel in Peking to participate in the auction, and the meteorite bronze was also among them."
Zhang Qishan didn't keep the secret any longer.
"Wu Zhu? This guy is not easy to mess with."
The shadow of a tree is like a person's life. Even in the current world, Uncle Wu Zhu is a very famous person.
"Not only Wu Zhu, but also the people from the Demon Extermination Team. It is unrealistic to confront them head-on on the way. What I mean is that we can wait until they hand over the things to the Crescent Hotel before our people take action."
Being a member of the demon-hunting team, Zhang Qishan knew too well the fighting strength of those killers. In terms of tomb robbing, they might be less powerful than himself, but when it came to killing, his ability among the many team leaders was not even comparable.
Chapter 426 Chamber of Commerce Storm
There is no wall that is impenetrable. Even though there was no public admission of guilt, Huo Jinxi had Ruyifang returned to the Zhang family in the morning, but by the afternoon all the officials in Xingcheng knew about it.
Why didn’t he return it earlier or later, but just returned it as soon as Li Chengqian returned to Xingcheng?
No one with a big family and a lot of wealth is a fool, and everyone understands that this is what Li Chengqian meant; Huo Jinxi only made such a decision under his pressure.
He doesn't covet his subordinates' things and won't be influenced by pillow talk. Governor Li is a good person and it won't be wrong to follow him and work hard for him.
This is the first reaction of most officials, and it is also the purpose of Li Chengqian's doing so.
…………
Star City Chamber of Commerce
Under the guidance of Li Chengqian, Huo Jinxi walked into the room that she had longed for but could not reach, the boardroom of the Star City Chamber of Commerce.
"Hello, Governor General, Hello, Third Madam."
Seeing Li Chengqian and Huo Jinxi come in, all the people who were originally talking around fell silent, and stood up to greet Li Chengqian and Huo Jinxi.
"Everyone sit down, we are all family; this is the Chamber of Commerce, there is only the president, no governor."
"Yes, President."
After Li Chengqian said this, everyone just listened.
"I called everyone here today because I have something to announce to you. Due to my busy military affairs, I have decided to hand over the position of President of the Xingcheng Chamber of Commerce to my wife, Jinxi. She was born in a merchant family and is well-informed. I believe that under her leadership, the Chamber of Commerce will surely become bigger and stronger and create greater glory. I hope that everyone can support Jinxi as much as they support me."
It was an announcement rather than a discussion. Li Chengqian's words seemed easy-going, but in fact they were extremely overbearing.
I'm just here to inform you. It would be best if you agree. If you don't agree, that's okay. I will find a way to force you to agree.
"President, if you are busy with military affairs, you can ask your wife to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce and exercise the power of the president. It would be too hasty to resign directly from the position of president."
"Yes, President. We are definitely convinced by the Third Madam, but we are afraid that the people below may have other ideas. It will be bad if people become uneasy."
The title of the governor's concubine is not as effective as the title of the governor. Li Chengqian was not surprised by the reaction of the chamber of commerce members.
blah blah
He didn't speak immediately, but just smiled and tapped the table lightly with his fingers again and again.
When everyone saw this, they were all startled; if someone else did this, there would be nothing wrong with it, but when Li Chengqian did it, everyone felt an indescribable majesty, as if he was a dozing tiger, and you didn't know if he would suddenly get angry the next moment.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Sometimes you just scare yourself, but you still have to prepare for a rainy day. Moreover, in Hunan Province, in Xingcheng, isn’t Li Chengqian the emperor and the tiger?
The person who just spoke is already regretting it; people are just being polite to you, but you really think you are a big deal. Didn't you hear that what they said was an announcement?
The expressions of those who didn't speak didn't look much better: Please don't let anything happen. If anyone is going to die, it'll be the one who talks too much. Please don't implicate us. It would be too unfair if you take your anger out on us. Although Li Chengqian is not bloodthirsty, it's hard to say about this matter. Since ancient times, many people have been implicated and died.
"Here are some materials provided by the tax bureau and the investigation department. Jinxi, please send them to everyone to have a look."
"Yes, sir."
obsessed
Huo Jinxi was really obsessed with the domineering attitude displayed by Li Chengqian in his every move.
…………
puff
"General Li, please spare my life..."
"General, please spare my life. It really only took me a moment to think about it..."
"Commander-in-Chief, I was forced into a desperate situation. My son was detained by them..."
The materials distributed by Huo Jinxi were evidence of the three chamber of commerce members using Li Chengqian's name to plunder, evade taxes, and engage in disloyalty.
"Alas, the hearts of old friends change easily, yet it is said that the hearts of old friends change easily.
You followed me when the Chamber of Commerce was first established. At that time, I told you to take the main road and never take the small road. There are many forks and traps on the small road. Once you fall into one, there will be no way back and you will suffer a devastating disaster.
I also tell you that as long as you are right, I can always be your strong backing, no matter who stands against you.
But none of you three seem to take my words to heart."
Li Chengqian looked very disappointed and sad.
"Commander-in-chief, I can pay the tax twice... five times..."
"warlord……"
"Commander-in-Chief, I never intended to betray you. I was really forced into this situation."
The three continued to beg.
"Jinxi, I just said that from today on you are the president of the Xingcheng Chamber of Commerce. How do you think we should deal with this matter?"
"Third Madam, please help me put in a good word with the Governor. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life..."
"Third Madam..."
One plays the good guy, one plays the bad guy, one establishes authority, one curries favor. Li Chengqian uses open strategies, but everyone has to follow his pace.
Doing something wrong or having dirty hands can only be considered a minor matter, but standing on the wrong side can cost you your head.
砰
With the sound of a gunshot, Huo Jinxi killed one and saved two, and he was able to gain a firm foothold in the Star City Chamber of Commerce.
Because of a son, you have killed your entire family. With your brain, you are not suitable for business.
That’s right, not only this man, but also his entire family, Li Chengqian did not intend to let them go; only by letting people see the price of betrayal clearly can we prevent this from happening to the greatest extent.
...............
one week later
"What? The fourth concubine is missing. When did it happen? How did you do it?"
Si Teng ran away?
Li Chengqian received this news just after returning from military academy.
"Is that Taoist priest here again? Are you dead? Are the guns I gave you firewood sticks?"
It is also a common feature of the current era that concubines cannot stand loneliness and run away with money; but Li Chengqian can be sure that Si Teng is not such a person. Well, she is not a human at all.
But what is the reason?
The two had a deep understanding of each other, and simply finding Si Teng was not a big deal for Li Chengqian, but what he wanted to know was why she left.
Circle of Light - Backtracking
On the morning of the first day, I read and wrote under the guidance of the female teacher, which was quite normal; in the afternoon, I listened to music, combining work and rest and knowing how to live a good life.
At night, when you are playing the piano, it may disturb people's sleep. You are just a beginner, what is your level? Don't you have any idea?
The next day
Day Three
…………
The seventh day
He looks normal, but he did seem a little depressed in the last few days. What was the reason?
After reading it over and over again, Li Chengqian finally found some clues.
Si Teng’s departure should be related to a play and a novel; "Farewell My Concubine" and "Investiture of the Gods". It is very likely that this literary female enchantress read the story in the plays, immersed herself in the stories, and chose to leave.
Chapter 427: Running Away from Home or Looking for Husband Across the Miles
The first day after running away from home: I didn’t eat well, nor did I sleep well; the quilt in the inn had the smell of other people, it was so smelly; I couldn’t sleep alone, and it was another night of missing him.
The day after running away from home: I shouldn’t have given that kid money. It was really scary to be surrounded by so many beggars.
The third day after running away from home: Where is my wallet? I can’t find it. I’m so hungry. Necklace… No, that was the first piece of jewelry he gave me, and he put it on my neck with his own hands.
...............
The sixth day after running away from home: There are actually bugs on the trees. I will never sleep in the woods again, even if you kill me.
On the seventh day of running away from home, it was lunch time: Hey, why is there a Huibinlou here? I think I smelled the crystal pork knuckle, it smells so good.
"Is this Miss Si Teng?"
Just when Si Teng was reluctantly about to leave, the owner of Huibinlou called her.
"you know me?"
"I have seen your portrait. A gentleman has ordered a meal for a young lady in our restaurant. It is almost time for dinner, so I have been waiting at the door for her to arrive."
That’s right, Huibin Building belongs to Xingcheng Chamber of Commerce, which is Li Chengqian’s industry.
"Someone ordered food for me, where is that person?"
