Terra Martial God and Merit System

A figure jumped in from outside——

"Sir, long time no see."

Luosangtudan held his breath and looked at the figure in front of him, "Lord Earl...what did you do? Where is my daughter?"

"She is doing some beauty and fat-reducing activities. I think it is necessary for you to do the same." Luo Chen walked towards him, "What do you think?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Losang Tudan's forehead, and he realized that something was wrong.

Seeing Luo Chen approaching step by step, he couldn't help but shout - "Why do you arrest me?!"

"Why are we arresting you?" Luo Chen sneered, "Guess!"

"Grand Duke Kosice..." Losangtudan's face darkened.

He got it!

This is all the Grand Duke's conspiracy!

His target for robbing money was not those untouchables, but himself!

Come to think of it...How much money can those untouchables squeeze out of us? We still have more than that!

“Haha…” Luosangtudan laughed bitterly, “As expected of Grand Duke Kosice. Really amazing! This plan is really…”

"But - even if you are the Grand Duke, you can't do this!" Luosang Tudan roared. His face suddenly turned crazy.

"My brother already knows the truth. It's useless for you to arrest me!"

"Grand Duke of Kosice.... hehe... he is just one rank higher than the Count... my brother will fight back fiercely for me..."

"Shut up!" Luo Chen slapped him and knocked him unconscious. "What do you know?"

Losang Thubten fell to the ground, still mumbling the name "Kosice".

Chapter 4000: Responsible or Not ()

The next morning, the construction bidding meeting arrived as scheduled.

Khalid looked at the contract he had revised overnight and sighed.

He knew in his heart that he would not be the winning bidder at the bidding meeting, but he just couldn't help but want to try harder.

"Hehe... I heard that those people gave a lot of gifts to the city lord. Why should I waste my time?"

He put away the revised contract in front of him and stood up.

He put on his coat and buttoned it up - he was not afraid of the cold, but he was afraid that the patched shirt underneath would be seen.

No matter what, he would try.

Not only for his wife and children, but also for what his mother once taught him.

"Big talk, bribery and temptation... I really can't do this kind of thing."

"After this failure, I can only declare bankruptcy....Alas..."

He walked out of the small room he had temporarily rented and came to the streets of Kamsco.

Although it is still early, there are already quite a few people on the streets.

Vendors were shouting their wares, and workers were talking and laughing as they went to work.

"If possible, it's better to bring your wife and children here..." Khalid looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be mesmerized.

After being stunned for a while, he walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

After passing the inspection, he came to the meeting room.

The lively meeting place when the bidding was announced earlier was no longer visible. The meeting room was now empty, with only a few inconspicuous small businessmen.

There was not a single one of those "superior people" who were dressed in luxurious clothes and had a large number of servants.

"Sure enough!" Khalid was a little disappointed.

The results announced at the so-called bidding conference are all fake.

The real result has probably been decided long ago. It should be one of those big businessmen...

Only someone like me who doesn't believe it would come and wait.

Under the guard's arrangement, Khalid handed in his contract and then sat down at a random place.

He was waiting, waiting for despair to come.

But there is still a little hope in my heart, but this hope is like a candle in a storm and may disappear at any time.

"Da da da....."

The sudden sound of footsteps woke him up.

Khalid looked up and saw the overly young man standing behind the podium.

That is the lord of Kamsco.

"Now I will announce the results of the bidding."

He cleared his throat and spoke quickly.

"The winning company is Khalid Construction. Now you can have a good talk with the Minister of Commerce."

"That's it, we adjourn the meeting."

"Huh?" Khalid, who was sitting in the chair, was stunned.

He even felt like he was hallucinating. But after feeling the incredulous gazes of the people around him, he couldn't help but stand up.

ecstasy!

Uncontrollable ecstasy!

He actually won the bid?!

What about those big businessmen?

Why not them?

As soon as this question came up, Khalid calmed down.

Yes, why not them?

Could it be that...there is something fishy going on here?

Are you the scapegoat?

Khalid suddenly felt a little flustered - why did he, a small businessman, have to do it?

........

As soon as Luo Chen stepped down, he was blocked by Lin Yuxia.

The other party glared at him - "I haven't even read the contract yet! Why are you announcing the result?"

"Uh... there's a contract? I didn't know that?" Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat - if he had known there was a contract, he would have checked it before using his skills. Maybe he could have gotten less merit.

"I thought you had seen it..." Lin Yuxia sighed, "It turns out you didn't see it at all! Then why did you do this?"

"Because it's right." Luo Chen replied, "You have to believe one thing - everything I do is right..."

"Don't you believe in 'appointing people based on their merits'?" Lin Yuxia retorted.

"Aren't you the Minister of Commerce?"

"What you are doing now is equivalent to interfering with my work." Lin Yuxia was a little angry. "Things like bidding are what I should do according to the division of responsibilities. But you interfered directly. You didn't even give me an explanation..."

"I am the city lord. Do I need to explain what I do?"

"You have to be responsible for me!" Lin Yuxia became even angrier. She was even curious about how Luo Chen had gotten to this point.

This is totally irrational. How can a leader make decisions based on his own impulse?

"Ms. Lin, you are so annoying..." Luo Chen complained.

"I'm just fulfilling my duties conscientiously." Lin Yuxia said seriously, and seeing that the conversation with Luo Chen had no effect, she could only stamp her feet.

"I'll go back and review the contracts! I'll pick the most reasonable one!"

She turned and left in a hurry.

"Lin Yuxia is so serious..." Luo Chen sighed, "Tallulah is better. She is much more obedient than her and doesn't have so many problems."

"Um.... Lord City Lord?"

"?" Luo Chen turned around and saw the middle-aged man who was bending over and lowering his eyebrows.

"you are?"

"City Lord... I am Khalid." Khalid felt even more uneasy. The city lord who announced that he had won the bid didn't even know him?

What a joke! Is this really some conspiracy?

"Oh, oh, oh. It's Khalid." Luo Chen nodded. "I don't know if you heard what Minister Lin said just now...but I want to tell you--"

"I'm in charge here. If I say you win the bid, you win the bid."

"Do you understand it?"

“…” Khalid didn’t understand what Luo Chen said, but nodded anyway.

"Okay." Luo Chen looked at his heart, then nodded with satisfaction, "Go and prepare the building materials. We must quickly repair the residents' houses..."

"Um... Lord Mayor. I just want to ask." Khalid finally mustered up the courage - "Can you tell me why I won the bid?"

"I really...can't understand..."

"What's so hard to understand about this?" Luo Chen looked at him strangely, "If I say you win, then you win."

"What about Lord Thom Ferre? His company is one of the best in this area...its scale and channels are much stronger than mine. Why not choose him?" Khalid asked cautiously.

"Tom Ferre..." Luo Chen muttered the name, and a fat man wearing glasses appeared in front of him.

He remembered that there was indeed such a person, but after cheating him of his money, Luo Chen smashed his head into his stomach.

"I know Thom Ferre." Luo Chen nodded casually, "Maybe he suddenly left Kamsco for something. Anyway, I didn't see him."

"To be honest, it's a pity."

"And what about Lord Tadeusz?"

"Not familiar, really not familiar."

"And Kathy Mendoza..."

"I know this man. He's a very good person. I'm very grateful to him. But he's gone now."

"......" The more Khalid asked, the worse it felt, because the city lord had an inexplicable look on his face, and even had a smile on his face. This made him even more frightened.

"What are you afraid of?" Luo Chen suddenly came close to him, "There's nothing to be afraid of - I won't hurt you."

"Now hurry up and prepare the building materials. Time waits for no one! Mr. Khalid!"

"Yes!" Khalid shuddered and couldn't help but say.

Luo Chen walked past him and patted him hard on the back - "Straighten your back, be a man!"

"Uh..." Khalid looked at Luo Chen's gradually receding back, hesitated for a long time, and decided to take on the project.

After all, from what the people said, and from the trial that took place in front of the bank not long ago...the city lord should not do those things.

Besides....he really doesn't want to go bankrupt.

..........

"I'm furious!"

"This *Longmen swear*!"

"Is this his attitude of inviting me to work?!" Lin Yuxia returned to her office angrily.

Luo Chen's "domineering declaration" made Lin Yuxia a little flustered. Of course, she was also a little moved and curious.

She wanted to see how far Luo Chen could go.
