A few days later, in the vice principal's office.

At that moment, the radio in the room was playing songs loudly.

The wind is howling!

The horse is neighing!

The Milky Way is roaring!

The Milky Way is roaring… (Adapted from the famous song “Yellow River Cantata: Defend the Yellow River”)

"Knock knock knock..."

"Enter."

Wang Xinpei, the director of teaching affairs, pushed open the door to the vice principal's office and walked to the desk of the elderly Chen Zhiming.

Chen Zhiming turned down the radio volume and took the document from Wang Xinpei. He read it quickly, skimming through it without missing any key information.

After reading it, Chen Zhiming showed a relieved expression. "Very good. My empire's soldiers finally have a chance to change their weapons."

Wang Xinpei nodded and said, "Back then, after Jiang Lu left the Southeast Arsenal in a huff, there wasn't a single person there willing to use their brain."

However, Shen Yi's purchase of a new type of sniper rifle from Shuofeng was a less than ideal start.

"No, what's wrong with it?"

The old man looked at Wang Xinpei with a half-smile, "There's a group of fish lying belly up in a stagnant pool, pretending to be dead. If we don't stir it up, it'll all stink."

"However, a few days ago, Jiang Lu used his access privileges to attend a banquet at Wangchuan Tower. As far as I know, Gui Haishuo obtained the blueprints for the [Golden Spear-2 Sniper Rifle]."

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's fine."

"But……"

"Okay, okay, there's no 'but' about it."

The old man waved to Wang Xinpei, "I know about this. You can go back now. It's not a big deal... This song is my favorite, and it's a new version sung by the new band. Don't bother me."

"Yes."

Wang Xinpei turned and left the office, and the old man turned the radio volume up again.

"Dear listeners, this concludes our broadcast of 'Defend the Milky Way' performed by the 'Gui Xin Children's Choir' from Weiyuan City. We hope you enjoyed it. The next song is..."

"……unlucky!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

A car with an ethereal interior stopped in front of an imposing black-tiled building. Gui Haishuo got out of the car and looked at the plaque in front of the building—Guangwu City Commercial Bureau, Civil and Commercial Affairs Department.

Upon entering, one finds a spacious service hall with long queues at all four service windows.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became somewhat disharmonious.

A businessman, his face flushed and neck bulging, shouted, "I said I'd use my house as collateral! Is that not allowed?"

The clerk behind the counter said, "No, your property is clearly mortgaged."

"This...this...even if it's mortgaged, it's still my house!"

"No, the Ministry of Commerce has clear regulations that your property rights are defective."

"But I have enough other assets to pay off my debts!"

As the argument remained deadlocked, the people in line behind them began to get restless.

This scene plays out countless times every day in this hall. A manager dressed in a civil servant's uniform was about to quell the dispute as usual when he saw Gui Haishuo just entering.

The supervisor glanced at the man chattering incessantly at the window, then without much hesitation, went straight to Gui Haishuo and greeted him warmly.

Gui Haishuo looked at the smiling man before him and sensed a hint of familiarity: "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, you forgot? I was the one who handled your registration when you registered Shuofeng, although I was just a teller back then," the supervisor explained with a smile.

Gui Haishuo revealed a look of sudden realization and said, "I see. Congratulations on your promotion."

"It's all thanks to your good fortune. I'm just a minor supervisor, nothing to be concerned about in your eyes." The officer smiled humbly and tentatively asked, "Master Guihai, is there something important you need to discuss today?"

Gui Haishuo nodded: "I did come here today because I have business to attend to. However, I'm not in a hurry here, so please take care of the problem over there first."

Following the direction Gui Haishuo was pointing, the argument had escalated into a full-blown fight.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, I'll be right back."

The supervisor apologized and strode towards the window where the argument had taken place. As soon as he arrived, the argument quieted down considerably.

"What happened? Xiao Liu, tell me about it."

After learning what had happened from the teller, the supervisor looked at the man arguing with the teller with a stern face and said in a serious tone, "Hello, your invested assets do not comply with Article 12 of Chapter 2 of the 'Private Shop Investment Act' issued by the Imperial Ministry of Commerce."

Our clerk, Liu, has responded to you without any problem. If you continue to cause trouble, I will immediately contact the Garrison Command!

"You...you're just a lowly civil official from the Three Lotus Sect, who do you think you are?"

Watch your words!

The supervisor's voice suddenly rose several decibels, startling the person opposite him. "Although my official rank is low, I represent the Imperial Ministry of Commerce. Based on what you just said, I can send you to the Garrison Command for a few days!"

Before the man opposite him could speak, the manager continued with a sneer: "I've studied for years, don't think I can't see through the tricks of you opportunistic merchants."

"By deliberately setting up a mortgage with someone you know well or close to, and then using the mortgage to extract assets, you've cleverly used the asset for multiple purposes!"

As the main speaker revealed the other party's true intentions, the man opposite opened his mouth, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"We're saving you by not registering your shop today; otherwise, with this amount of money, you'd be in jail for three years."

The supervisor continued, "Everything I said today is supported by evidence. If you are not satisfied, you can go directly to the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Personnel to seek an explanation. But today, I would like to ask you to leave as soon as possible and not be rude."

"Fine, fine, fine...you just wait." After saying a few words, the man opposite him slunk away.

With the dispute resolved, order was restored at the window, and the supervisor returned to Gui Haishuo.

"You've been waiting for a long time, Master Guihai."

Gui Haishuo smiled gently and waved his hand: "It's alright. Your words were clear and concise, and your words were firm and resounding. It is the most important thing to nip those unscrupulous merchants' crooked thoughts in the bud. Compared to that, it doesn't matter whether my matter is sooner or later."

"Alas, if only all merchants in the world were like you."

The supervisor gestured towards a door, "Master Guihai, your business must be important. There are too many people here, so please go directly to my office to handle it."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

The supervisor's so-called office was not large; it was more like a small cubicle. Gui Haishuo was given a seat, and the supervisor sat on the other side of the desk.

"Alright, Master Guihai, what kind of service would you like to have?"

"I want to establish a new business through merger."

"Oh? No problem. It seems your business is growing bigger and bigger. Congratulations!"

"Haha, thank you, Manager Gao."

"Master Guihai, you can just call me Xiao Gao. Have you prepared all your materials?"

"Of course." Gui Haishuo placed a thick kraft paper document bag on the table. "Take a look, and I'll get whatever you need."

"Please wait a moment."
