Baibao Pavilion hated this bastard who caused them heavy losses. Now that they had this information, how could they not be grateful to Zhao Kangping.
In this way, it will be more beneficial for him to further discuss cooperation with Baibao Pavilion.
"Brother Jiang, I have another thing to do."
"Brother Zhao, you're too polite. It's okay if you call me Brother Jiang."
"How can I feel so embarrassed? I always feel like I'm taking advantage of Brother Jiang."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Jiang Yulou's aptitude for cultivation is not very good. In fact, he is only at the False Dan realm. He suffered a serious injury when he was young, and his lifespan was affected, which is why he showed signs of aging prematurely.
The fact that he has reached his current position has little to do with his cultivation strength, but rather that he has a keen eye for talent, has promoted many senior talents, and has good personnel management skills.
In his previous life, he was a human resources manager.
"Well, I want the Treasure Pavilion to re-enter Chuanliu City. I think your Pavilion would be very interested in this."
This did not surprise Jiang Yulou. He had thought that Zhao Kangping would start talking about this topic as soon as he came in.
There was naturally a reason why Zhao Kangping chose to talk about the information about the Black-Clothed Divine Envoy first.
This will allow him to be more proactive when discussing subsequent cooperation.
"I heard that when the Baibao Pavilion in Chuanliu City was first established, many businesses were not able to develop in Chuanliu City due to the suppression by the five major families. I hope that after your Baibao Pavilion is relocated, you will also do these businesses in Chuanliu City."
For example, the Shen family of Chuanliu City monopolizes the spiritual tea business in the city, while the Wang family dominates the spiritual wine business.
But the Treasure Pavilion in Chuanliu City does not do these businesses.
It’s not that Baibao Pavilion doesn’t have access to these things, but the five major families are very xenophobic. Under their oppression, Baibao Pavilion made concessions.
There are actually many similar examples, which I will not list here one by one.
Zhao Kangping also received information that after Baibao Pavilion withdrew from Chuanliu City, the five major families planned to use their own funds to set up a similar large shopping mall selling various monks' supplies to fill the vacancy left by Baibao Pavilion's withdrawal.
However, because the matter of the mineral vein was exposed, those families were fined and a lot of their assets were confiscated, so this plan had to be shelved.
Jiang Yulou stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Brother Zhao, are you planning to go against those families? I've learned some information about Chuanliu City."
"Those families, relying on their connections in the Ziyang Holy Land, are very hostile to outside forces. It's not just our Baibao Pavilion that's being suppressed. If Brother Zhao has such a broad mind, I'd like to act as a lobbyist for you and lobby other businesses for you."
Intelligence reports say that Zhao Kangping is from the Purple Sun Saint Lord faction, which is opposed to the Supreme Elders faction that includes the five major families.
The latest news he received was that Saint Zi Yang was recently taking action against the five major families.
If you bet on the Holy Lord now, you will definitely reap great rewards in the future.
Jiang Yulou is optimistic about the Holy Lord Sect for many reasons.
But the most important thing is that when Saint Ziyang promotes his subordinates, he values their ability rather than their closeness to him. This is exactly the same as Jiang Yulou.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. If Brother Jiang is willing to introduce me, that would be great."
In fact, Baibao Pavilion also wanted to expand its business in Chuanliu City and had long been dissatisfied with those families. The two hit it off and talked for a long time.
When leaving the Baibao Pavilion headquarters, Jiang Yulou personally saw him off and added Zhao Kangping as a friend via the communication jade slip.
This investment promotion was a successful first step, but he still had to meet more business leaders in the world of cultivation at tomorrow's dinner.
If he could make them interested in investing in Chuanliu City, that would be the most important purpose of his trip.
Later, we will take those potential partners to Chuanliu City for an on-site inspection, which is also a very important step.
But these are too idealistic, and he doesn't know if there will be any problems later.
After finishing the serious business, Zhao Kangping finally had time to take his beloved disciple for a stroll.
They walked into a busy street, where people were coming and going and the noise was deafening.
"Xueqing, there's a shop selling rouge over there. Let's go in and take a look."
"Ah! No, that's not necessary. I'm not good at putting on makeup."
Although she refused, her face showed joy. She preferred to be natural and didn't use makeup. This wasn't just because she looked beautiful without makeup, but also because she really didn't know how to put it on.
The lip balm she used before was one of the few times she wore makeup in her life.
"If you don't know how to put on makeup, you can ask someone else to put it on for you. You can't go out with no makeup on your wedding day. Even though you have a good foundation, you should still put some makeup on your wedding day."
"A big, happy day." Upon hearing these four words, a blush clearly appeared on the fairy's face.
He loved seeing his beloved disciple's shy look, which was very cute. He couldn't help but put his arms around her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and gently kissed her pink earlobe with his lips.
This action caused the fairy's delicate body to tremble, and she collapsed into his arms. Her breathing became hot, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
The woman hugged him tightly, and regardless of the crowds of people on the street, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips.
But when the fairy noticed the gazes from nearby, she realized how outrageous her actions had been.
Her face suddenly turned red with shame, and she buried her head in his arms like an ostrich.
Zhao Kangping touched her head lovingly and hugged her even tighter.
This also attracted whispers from passers-by.
"Young people nowadays really don't know the situation."
"Gee, it's nice to be young."
"They are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
However, in addition to these onlookers, there was another pair of eyes that noticed them.
In the crowd, a woman with twin ponytails saw the two of them and also saw their previous intimate behavior.
"Aren't these Sister Lan's apprentice and grand-disciple? How could they..." Yu Luo's mouth opened into an O shape, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
She still remembered that when she was in Baishan City, she fought with the woman. After being defeated by her, she wanted to kill her with a sneak attack, but was thwarted by the man and was almost killed by him.
At first, he was so eager to protect his disciple that he even said that even an immortal couldn't save her. This scared Yu Luo. It turned out that he was not only protecting his disciple, but also his mistress.
I didn't expect to see them again in Fuxian City.
What bad luck.
Should I go and tell Sister Lan now?
We can't let them ruin Sister Lan's plan.
Zhao Kangping did not notice the female thief who had followed his master in Baishan City before.
He brought his beloved apprentice into the rouge shop.
But he didn't just buy rouge for Luo Xueqing.
He also bought some for Zhao Mengyao, Mu Wanyi and Aunt Yun.
But when he heard the receptionist say that there was a discount if he bought five, he hesitated.
Zhao Kangping thought of Dongfang Jingrou and Wan Baiyi.
Lady Suzaku's temper is unpredictable, but she doesn't actually lose her temper easily.
She is very ambitious and a complete workaholic.
A lazy person like him, who is like a spinning top and won't spin unless someone pulls him, will probably only move if someone pushes him.
So Dongfang Jingrou must have been very tired to help him secure the position of city lord.
Logically speaking, I should buy her a small gift.
But thinking about how this woman always gave him a bad look, he didn't want to buy it for her anymore.
And Wan Baiyi seems to like eating, I don’t know if she will like this cosmetics.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to buy one for each of them.
Although Miss Suzaku has a bit of a temper, they will be living together for a long time in the future.
People often say that love grows over time. He doesn't care whether they will develop feelings in the future, but if a rift arises over time, that would be his failure as a human being.
As for the snake demon girl, Zhao Kangping always felt that he had been absent for most of her snake life and didn't want to be absent again in the future.
He would have to spend some time with her when he got back to River City.
Chapter 201: Rabbits Are Not Tasty
In Fuxian City, there is a weapon refining workshop called Qiaojiangfang, which specializes in the refining of small magical tools.
The owner of the Craftsman's Workshop is a weapon-making master named Zhong Siming.
By the way, he was self-proclaimed the title of Master. However, considering his skills were unparalleled in Fuxian City, no one would question his title.
The Craftsman's Workshop is located in a seven-story pagoda, which is also a landmark building in the city.
It just so happened that Master Zhong had six disciples, each of whom lived on one floor, while he himself was on the top seventh floor.
It is said that Master Zhong originally came from a sect that specialized in refining weapons, but due to internal strife in the sect, he stood on the wrong side in the sect. In order to avoid being liquidated, he fled to Fuxian City.
After arriving in Fuxian City, he began to live a semi-secluded life. He basically no longer accepted orders for refining equipment, and spent most of the year secluded in the highest floor of the pagoda.
But only his disciples knew that the old man actually didn't go out and was most likely hiding in his room drinking.
On this day, Zhong Siming's eldest disciple Mu Chaoyang came to bring him wine as usual.
Mu Chaoyang knocked lightly three times, then banged on the door three times heavily.
Then he found something unusual. The door was not closed tightly. When he knocked on the door, it opened by itself. This was not right.
Because his master usually locked the door from the inside.
He realized something was wrong and quickly opened the door.
As a result, in the huge room, the first thing he saw was a man tied up with a rope and hanging from the beam.
Looking closely, he saw that the man was his master Zhong Siming.
At this time, Zhong Siming looked miserable, with a bruised face and a thick carrot stuffed in his mouth.
What's happening here.
First of all, we have to rule out the possibility that his master has any perverted hobby of bondage play.
The bruises on his face probably weren't caused by him.
“Mmmmm!~”
Seeing someone coming in, the strong man hanging on the beam twisted his body wildly, looking like a fat silkworm.
Mu Chaoyang put it down without saying a word and took out the big carrot from his mouth.
Zhong Siming, his face flushed red, coughed a few times and said excitedly, "It's over, it's over. My treasure has been taken away."
"Master, what's going on?"
"Ahem, yes, there was a female thief who broke in early in the morning and hit me with a stick. I saw she was a woman and didn't bother with her, but she was after my treasure."
"They said they would beat me to death if I didn't hand it over. My old bones couldn't withstand such a beating. To save my life, I had no choice but to hand it over."
"What? What should we do? The press conference is tomorrow night. How are we going to explain this to the Qianshang Alliance?"
"You ask me, but who should I ask? This matter cannot be concealed. We must tell the young master quickly, otherwise we will all be in trouble."
Zhong Siming regretted not learning more combat skills when he was younger. He was a cultivator with a serious bias, having put almost all of his skill points into refining weapons, so combat skills were not his strong suit.
……
On the other side, a woman with twin ponytails climbed over the wall and entered a luxurious mansion.
All the maids she met along the way were very respectful to her, and the woman smiled back at them one by one.
Finally, she walked into a quiet and unique courtyard, pushed open the door of a guest room and walked in.
"Yuluo, why don't you knock on the door?" The person who spoke was a beautiful fairy with white hair reaching her hips, wearing a black and white hip-hugging long skirt.
This fairy possessed a face of unparalleled beauty in the world. At this moment, she was lying on her side on the beauty couch, supporting her head with one of her snow-white arms with skin as white as cream.
Her figure is perfectly proportioned, with a waist that can be held in one hand, like a knife that can kill. The long skirt that covers her hips outlines the round curves that only a mature woman can have, which is very tempting.
Her reclining position revealed a pair of slender, straight legs, as white as snow, peeking out from beneath her skirt. They were the kind of exquisite feet any man would want to hold and play with. It was a shame there were no men here; if there were, she certainly wouldn't be lying so lazily on her side.
The chest placket is propped up to form a perfect arc, which is neither too big to look fat nor too lacking in curves to look slim, but just the right size.
