Su Chang came to her senses and recognized the man who had left a deep impression on her by killing the devil's body with a few punches in front of the Ten Judges.
"Why is there someone trying to catch a rat again?"
Scott felt that he could no longer bear it, and he covered his forehead with his hand, looking speechless.
"It shows that even dogs can't stand the mouse's behavior, let alone humans." Zishu raised the corner of his mouth.
"You Xianzhou people are really friendly and help each other..."
"I'm sorry, did I say I must be from Xianzhou?"
"What do you have to do here? Get out of the way!" Scott squinted at Zishu, looking arrogant.
"The rats are biting people, isn't it right to help people kill the rats?"
Zishu crossed his arms and said with a smile:
"You said that if the Chamber of Commerce can get the rent in exchange, it will bow its head and apologize like a dog in front of everyone. Do you really mean that?"
"Is that true?" Scott looked at him like an idiot and said loudly, "If they can pay me back, I will immediately kneel down and apologize, bark like a dog, and then crawl around Golden Man Lane twice. Are you satisfied?"
"sounds good."
"Ha, if you can't pay it back, you and this wild girl will have to apologize to me in front of the elders and villagers, and bark like a dog in front of me, of course--"
Scott changed the subject:
"I am a kind person, so you don't have to kneel down and crawl around the Golden Man Lane twice."
Su Chang originally wanted to agree without hesitation, but she didn't expect Zishu to intervene, so she immediately gave up the idea.
She didn't want to implicate innocent people.
"Promise him!" Xing's voice rang out from the crowd.
Bai Lu was completely speechless, "You really just want to watch the fun and make trouble..."
"Our Zishu will know the outcome as soon as he makes a move. Anyway, he will definitely not be the one to cause trouble."
Xing showed an intriguing expression. Her trust in Zishu was absolutely 100%.
Su Chang was not overwhelmed by the passion, but calmed down, took two steps forward and whispered to Zishu:
"Mr. Outsider, the other party is from the company. It's better for you not to get involved. We don't want to implicate you."
"I have some friendship with your leader. Don't worry, he will take care of anything." Zishu said with a smile.
Jing Yuan, who was half asleep, sneezed suddenly, scaring away the little bird that was perched on his shoulder.
Boss?
Su Chang's brain stopped working for a moment, and she couldn't figure out which one he was talking about.
You know, there are quite a few leaders in the Yunqi Army.
She didn't think of Jing Yuan, let alone Marshal Hua, and her little face was still full of hesitation.
"What? I thought you were so powerful, but you're so scared now?" Scott said sarcastically.
"Oh, I accept the bet." Zishu smiled faintly, "I hope you don't break your promise, otherwise..."
"Oh my, you are a foreigner, do you have the qualifications to make decisions for others, wild girl? I want you to say it yourself." Scott sneered.
"I...Okay! Let's bet! But..."
Su Chang tilted her head to glance at Zishu, and just as she was about to continue speaking, her eyes widened and she found that her little mouth had moved on its own, saying things that she didn't want to say.
"But the maximum deadline is ten days. That's fine, right? Ten days is nothing to you short-lived people."
"Yohu? Another ten days?"
Scott laughed out loud and waved his hand. "Don't say ten days. I'll give you a month. If Golden Man Lane can pay back the dock rent by improving its business during this period, I lose!"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
"Ha, everyone heard it, I've been waiting for it, hehe, hehe, let's go!"
Scott walked away, looking very happy.
When Scott's back completely disappeared, Su Chang, who had been holding back for a long time, found that she could finally speak freely. She turned around and looked at Zishu with an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stranger, I...I don't know what I mean..."
"My name is Zishu, not Mr. Outsider." Zishu smiled slightly, and of course he would not tell others that he had just used puppetry on Suchang.
This girl is too upright. She always considers others and ignores herself. It is useless to persuade her.
"I... Hey, Mr. Zishu, just don't come here when the time comes. Anyway, you are not from Xianzhou and have nothing to do with this matter. That guy can't do anything to you."
Zishu laughed and shook his head, "No, I still have to watch that guy bark like a dog."
Mingxi, who was standing next to him, was full of apology and sighed, "Mr. Zishu, Miss Suchang, this bet will not benefit you at all. It is us who have implicated you."
Su Chang: "That arrogant guy makes me feel uncomfortable. He must do something. I can't just stand by and watch, but..."
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm just like you. I don't like that guy." Zishu interrupted her.
Xing came forward, tiptoed slightly, put his arm around Zishu's shoulders and said with a smile:
"I wanted to beat that guy up, but now... don't worry, we are the righteous men of the galaxy, that guy can't win."
286. The Savior Who Can Save You Is Here
Mingxi: "How could we not know your good intentions, but..."
"Don't worry, I know what you want to say."
Zishu interrupted her and said bluntly: "Suchang has been implicated, and we are also involved. We should put aside the unnecessary polite words and talk about business."
Mingxi people: "..."
"So, the dock really can't pay the rent?" Bai Lu asked a question that was equivalent to not asking anything.
"Alas... According to the current situation, the Jinrenxiang Wharf is not doing well and cannot pay the rent for the time being. Just for renting this port, the Chamber of Commerce already owes the company a lot of debt."
Mingxi sighed and said honestly:
"The snack business is still quite brisk, but other businesses and the operation of the wharf are stretched to the limit."
Su Chang: "If the situation improves, won't we be able to make money and pay off the debt?"
"That being said, in fact, the terminal's revenue can be increased by increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The problem is that it is very difficult to increase revenue. Many shops in Jinren Lane refuse to cooperate with the freight terminal..." Mingxi said.
"What about saving money?" Su Chang paused and asked in confusion, "What is saving money?"
"Saving money means reducing costs. As you can see, not all the docks are open now, and the workers..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the workers in the rear, who were already in a bad mood, suddenly became anxious.
"Hey, hey, your chamber of commerce, don't even think about laying off people!"
"…Don't worry, I don't want to lay off people. The efficiency of sending orders is too low now. If we can improve this aspect, we will definitely save costs. The person in charge of planning the transportation routes…"
Xing: "Can't you just finish what you want to say? I'm worried about Su Chang."
"The person in charge fell into the evil spirit during the Jianmu revival disaster..."
Ah this...
Everyone remained silent after hearing this sentence.
Well, this is a universal explanation, which has the same effect as "he is mentally ill and that's why he kills people", and it is even more annoying than mentally ill.
"Usually, re-planning the route won't save much, right?"
Xingchi held a pessimistic view and tilted his head to look at Zishu. Seeing that his expression was as calm as the surface of a lake, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
As expected of him, he seems to have a solution.
"It's better than doing nothing, Xing. Through the trip to the Scaled Abyss, I feel that you are very good at using your brain, probably better than Su Chang. How about you give it a try?"
Bai Lu didn't care that saying this would make Su Chang embarrassed.
According to her observation, the girl in plain clothes has the passion and sense of justice of a young person, but there is too much clear beauty in her eyes, which makes her easily suffer from lack of culture.
Xing O_o said: "How did you diagnose that I have a brain? If I try, I will most likely die. Then you will lose me as your free meal ticket."
"Uh, haha... think on the bright side, what if it works? Maybe our future spending in Jinren Lane will be fully covered by the Chamber of Commerce."
"Come on, the real savior who can save you is here."
Xingshan came to Zishu's side, bent her slender waist slightly, and put her hands in an introduction gesture.
"He dared to promise that the company's... uh, the company's what, a dog that was going to bark like a dog?"
“…His name is Scott.”
"Oh, Zishu must have an idea in mind if he dared to agree to that Scott. Why not listen to his thoughts?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zishu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:
"The premise for my help is that your Chamber of Commerce trusts me and gives me the internal core freight planning, store operation planning, logistics planning and other information for review."
"this…"
Xing: "You've thought it over. There's no turning back now, including your Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce. If you continue to stick to the old ways—"
"Okay!" Mingxi gritted his teeth, "I will get this done! Everyone, let's talk as we walk, and I will give you some additional information."
Not long into the conversation, Zishu directly summarized the most fundamental cause of the conflict.
"In other words, the company wants to build this place into a large logistics transit warehouse, completely abandoning individual businesses such as snack shops and goods stores, and forcing them to move out of Jinren Lane, right or not?"
"…Yes."
Mingxi was surprised and looked at Zishu with admiration again.
No wonder he dared to agree to gamble with the company, he must have something...
Bai Lu's focus was relatively simple, and she said with wide eyes, "Abandoning the individual businesses would mean that Jinren Lane would be gone, wouldn't it?"
"Correct." Zishu nodded. "Even if the land here is still there, the characteristics of Jinren Lane, the tourists, and people's memories of its prosperity will become history, or even cease to exist."
Mingxi felt a growing sense of crisis after hearing these frank words, and even his pace quickened.
After waiting for some time, Zishu got the information he wanted and casually leaned aside to read it.
Xing came over to take a look, and within two minutes he couldn't help scratching his head.
"My head itches so much, I feel like a brain is growing out of it."
Su Chang also couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity, but when she saw the densely packed words, she immediately felt dizzy.
She is dizzy with words and can't stand seeing this.
"Your Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce has been set up by the company." Zishu suddenly pointed to the logistics records.
Mingxi was stunned, "You mean..."
"The previous farce was deliberately caused by the company's people, in order to spread the news that they were going to take over Jinren Lane."
Zishu said confidently:
"You don't need to ask to know that the company has most likely promised many shops in Jinren Lane that it will provide preferential policies after taking over Jinren Lane, and hinted that they should not use the Chamber of Commerce's dock logistics, thereby crushing all possibilities of the Chamber of Commerce turning around."
Mingxi: “…”
"The Chamber of Commerce's failure to pay the dock rent and resulting in losses is a minor matter, but the seeds of dishonesty will be branded into the hearts of all individual shops. To put it bluntly, by then the Chamber of Commerce will be in name only;"
"Without the Chamber of Commerce, the company will no longer have any competitors in Jinren Lane. At that time, the company will have the final say on what to do with the land in Jinren Lane;"
"After a while, they can find any excuse to drive out the unnecessary self-employed. For capitalists, this is just a convenient means."
Having said that, Zishu moved his eyes away from the information and looked at Mingxi with a smile.
"Am I right?"
“…can’t argue with that.”
Su Chang said in disbelief: "He actually set up a trap for the shop in advance. How could that guy be so despicable?"
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Being mean is a means of climbing up. The business world is like a battlefield, and only the winner is worthy of writing the ending. Miss Suchang, I have something to say to you."
"Well, you said."
"Don't believe a word Scott says next. Also, the other party doesn't treat you as a human being, so you don't need to treat him as a human being. This is the Immortal Boat, and we are looking for the forces of Xun Lie Lan. "
