Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

Unsurprisingly.

Xuanwu Hall has been in the limelight this month, with its performance jumping from the bottom to the top.

Deputy Leader Zhuang Xiulong was overjoyed and highly praised Zhu Hu and Jiang Yuan, telling the other three major halls to learn how to do business properly and not just know how to kill and rob all day long!

Seeing Zhu Hu's smug little eyes, the three hall masters were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode.

Who is this Jiang Yuan who suddenly appeared?

It's unbelievable that they could achieve such results even in a corrupt place like Xuanwu Hall!

From that day on, Jiang Yuan attracted the attention of the entire black market.

Afterwards, as business boomed in the West District, the other three districts followed suit and all jumped on the bandwagon.

The deacons of each hall complained bitterly, secretly cursing Jiang Yuan for trying to wipe them out.

After all, they didn't have Jiang Yuan's overall management skills to manage such a large project so well.

As expected, Xuanwu Hall still had the best performance in the second month!

The root cause lies with Jiang Yuan himself!

Only Jiang Yuan, who possesses memories of his past life, can master this set of rules; there are many intricacies involved.

This made the three hall masters extremely anxious, and they even considered secretly getting rid of Jiang Yuan.

But later I heard that the deputy leader Zhuang Xiudu personally hosted a banquet for Jiang Yuan to learn about business, which seemed to indicate that he was going to promote him again.

The two chatted all night, feeling like they had known each other for ages, and almost became sworn brothers.

Upon hearing this news, the four hall masters were terrified.

Zhu Hu, in particular, felt that Jiang Yuan was gradually slipping out of his control.

This is not a good sign.

However, Jiang Yuan was already at the height of his power, and almost no one could openly confront him in the black market.

During this period, the leaders of the three major halls—Azure Dragon Hall, White Tiger Hall, and Vermilion Bird Hall—compromised and changed their strategy. They began to fawn over Jiang Yuan, seeking his advice on business while secretly plotting to poach him from their own side.

On this day, they hosted a grand banquet for Jiang Yuan.

After several rounds of drinks, Chen Long, the leader of the Azure Dragon Hall, raised his glass and said enthusiastically, "Brother Jiang, we three have been waiting for you for quite some time. We would like to invite you to serve as the deputy leader of our three halls and manage the black market business together. What do you think?"

They finally figured it out.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Isn't your Xuanwu Hall so powerful because you have Jiang Yuan, this business master?

Let's invite Jiang Yuan over too, and see who's afraid of whom?

As long as their regular business is doing well, they are still very confident in their underground business.

Jiang Yuan was well aware of their intentions and was overjoyed.

He had long felt that Zhu Hu was unreliable.

In a place like the black market, relying on one person to survive is bound to lead to great losses. Who knows when someone might get jealous of you and dig a huge pit for you.

Moreover, during the time Jiang Yuan managed the West District, he also discovered the deficit in the White Tiger Hall's accounts, which surprised him for a long time.

That bastard Zhu Hu actually embezzled 10,000 spirit stones, and nobody knows where he spent them.

Such a huge deficit, if discovered, might even implicate him!

Since he's unreliable, we should sever ties with him as soon as possible. Taking on the role of deputy head of the three halls is the first step!

Of course, he couldn't agree so readily; it would seem too unusual.

Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "This... isn't quite right. I'm currently the deputy head of the White Tiger Hall, how can I hold this position concurrently?"

"Oh, Brother Jiang, you're too kind."

Xu Teng, the head of Xuanwu Hall, feigned displeasure: "We in the black market are all one family. There's no distinction between 'yours' and 'mine.' I believe Old Zhu wouldn't be so petty."

"As long as Brother Jiang agrees, I'll personally explain to Old Zhu!"

"Yeah yeah."

The charming and alluring Qin Feng, the head of the Vermilion Bird Hall, leaned closer, breathed hot air into Jiang Yuan's ear, and whispered, "Brother Jiang, I have long admired you."

Jiang Yuan sighed heavily: "I am grateful to the hall masters for thinking so highly of me, but I am getting old and it is true that I am no longer of use."

"The outer city's four districts are such a vast area, how can an old man like me manage everything by myself?"

"The capable should do more work. My brother is still vigorous despite his age, so please don't be modest."

"In that case, my Azure Dragon Hall is willing to allocate 10% of our profits to Brother Jiang, what do you say?"

"My White Tiger Hall will also share 10% of its profits with Brother Jiang."

"My Suzaku Hall is also acceptable."

The three leaders launched a barrage of sweet talk and promises, demonstrating their determination to dig deep into the enemy's territory.

The wages of avarice is death.

They simply couldn't believe that Jiang Yuan wasn't tempted!

Jiang Yuan was also a martial artist, and martial artists are bottomless pits; none of them are immune to greed!

After being persuaded by the three men, Jiang Yuan finally agreed with great reluctance, though he was secretly overjoyed.

This is what they call "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

With the four hall tokens in hand, who else in the black market can challenge you?

When Zhu Hu first learned of this, he was completely stunned and stared at the three hall masters in front of him, speechless for a long time.

"Damn it, what kind of people poach men like this? Especially an old man!"

"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Doesn't Master Zhu understand this simple principle?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Old Zhu, I'm warning you, don't you dare use this opportunity to settle scores with Brother Jiang. He's the lifeline of the four of us!" Xu Teng grinned.

"you...."

Zhu Hu pointed at the four people, speechless.

He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to deal with Jiang Yuan personally.

This old fox has already established his power; even if he escapes his control, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Soon, Jiang Yuan took office, wearing the tokens of the four halls at his waist, enjoying immense prestige.

He also extended the 996 work schedule to the other three districts.

Not only the manager, but even the deacons have to work strictly according to the 996 work schedule, because he simply can't manage everything by himself.

This greatly displeased the deacons, who felt as if the sky had fallen.

The area that was originally managed by the four outer city districts was called "rest." They only needed to do some accounting, roll call, and cuddle their concubines each month, and that was how they got through the month.

But now, they'd rather manage the more dangerous underground businesses.

I'm so tired!

Jiang Yuan didn't care about any of that; he only cared about the attitudes of his superiors.

As long as he achieves results, whatever he does is right.
