Chapter 104 Comeback (1)

Jin Ziming knew clearly that the Great Elder was not negotiating with him, but was simply conveying an unchangeable instruction to him in a tactful and polite tone.

However, he still had to resist in his mouth and could not surrender immediately, so he replied:

"Great Elder, I will definitely define the tasks assigned by the branch, whether I can do it or not.

But you know, I’m just out of the ‘inspection period’, so if I get another beating in Shuiye City, I guess the headquarters won’t be able to spare me.”

"Don't bear too much burden. We all understand the difficulties of this market. If you do fall down, I will definitely intercede on your behalf and won't impose heavy penalties on you."

"Lao Lu and I cooperate very well, and there are many projects in those five sites. If I go to Shuiye City to expand, it will be difficult to take care of them all."

"Lao Lu, we will arrange for a new person to temporarily replace you."

Li Jin replied categorically, his eyes like daggers, and his meaning was very clear:

"Whether you have the guts to accept it or not, please give me a quick reward."

Jin Ziming glanced at Elder Wang and Lao Xiao who were standing aside, and found that both of them looked helpless.

"How can I refuse? Since the Great Elder and all the elders have high hopes for me and have relieved me of my worries in advance, then I will definitely go."

This word is a pun. Of course, "worry about the future" does not refer to the existing projects he and Lao Lu have, but refers to the fact that if Shui Ye City cannot be conquered, he will not be fired immediately.

"Okay, dare to challenge, the branch needs motivated disciples like you.

In the past two days, you will hand over work with the two people in charge of Shuiye City and get familiar with the situation.

The day after tomorrow, Li Jin and I will take you to Shuiye and introduce you to the two elders stationed at Juxing Sect."

Elder Teng was very pleased with his knowledge.

"The Great Elder has given you too much praise, I will do my best."

Of course, Jin Ziming understood that only when his superiors are happy can he be happy, so he immediately agreed without any hesitation.

After leaving the Great Elder's official room, Jin Ziming suddenly felt overwhelmed by the mountain.

He hurriedly found the unlucky two people, and after some exchanges, he realized that Yang Feng, who defeated Lao Shen and himself in Shiyun City, was the business star of Qingyumen Leiming Branch, and he made his fortune from Shuiye City.

.

Due to his outstanding performance, he has grown from an ordinary Foreign Affairs Hall disciple to the core backbone of the branch. Until now, he has not handed over Shuiye City.

There was a man named Nie Wushuang under Yang Feng who would come to Shuiye frequently. However, because he was responsible for too many areas, he could only visit once in a while.

Over the years, Yang Feng has gotten along very well with Peng Dongxin, the chief elder of the Juxing Gate, and Pan Chenan, the second elder of the Juxing Sect, and they have a good personal relationship.

On the afternoon of the third day, Li Jin called him and, together with the great elder, set off on the branch's own small airship.

When we arrived at Shuiye, it was almost Haishi, the night breeze was blowing, and the air was fresh and refreshing.

Outside a single-story teahouse by the river stood a female deacon from the Juxing Sect. She recognized the great elder, and when she saw the three people approaching, she hurriedly greeted them warmly.

The four of them went up to the second floor, where an old man and a middle-aged man strode forward and greeted the great elder and Li Jin with a smile.

"Elder Peng, Elder Pan, let me introduce to you. This is Jin Ziming. He is the core backbone of our branch. He has already applied to the headquarters and will promote him soon.

From now on, he will be responsible for all Lingyun Sect's business in Shuiye City."

Jin Ziming was stunned, "Promotion, is it real or fake? Why didn't I know?"

"I've met Elder Peng, Elder Pan." He bowed slightly and saluted.

"Haha, young talents have a great future." Peng Dongxin said with a smile, and Pan Chen'an also nodded in greeting.

While everyone was drinking spiritual tea and chatting, Li Jin seized the opportunity and complained appropriately:

"Two elders, we have been working in Shuiye City for so many years, but we have never won any decent projects, so the people in charge of the branch fell one after another.

No, the headquarters notified us a few days ago that we are required to eliminate Li Shang and Wang Chu who are in charge here.

Zi Ming is the elite of our branch, you must be merciful and give him a way out."

"Haha, that's too strong.

Your Lingyun sect is good at everything, but the management is too strict and the punishments are a bit too severe.

In business, some places are big and some are small, that's normal." Elder Peng said.

"Yes, Li Shang and Wang Chu are quite good people." Pan Chen'an also sighed.

"There is no way, the sect has this kind of management style.

There are advantages to being so strict. At least those who survive on the front line have experienced hundreds of battles and are extremely capable. They can stand alone no matter where they are placed."

Everyone continued chatting, and Jin Ziming would occasionally interrupt and express his own opinions, which were quite insightful, which made a few people around him think highly of him.

After talking for another half an hour, the elder stood up to say goodbye, and everyone went downstairs together.

Jin Ziming stayed at an inn by the river, and from then on stayed at Shuiye Station at Juxingmen. As long as it was a working day, he went there every day.

Elder Peng often goes out, so he likes to go to Pan Chenan's official room the most, but others are very busy, so he can't disturb them all the time.

Most of the time, he hangs out in the Gongjian Hall. Not only does he have a good relationship with the hall leader, Chen Ruiqin, but he also pays close attention to Hong Jingqian and other capable officers under him.

The so-called customer relationship is not only the two elders who influence the decision-making, but also requires a general relationship.

In addition, Jin Ziming believes that he also needs an insider with particularly good connections, and Hong Jingqian is the most suitable candidate.

Since there was too much time to use up, in order to avoid being accused of being a philistine and utilitarian, Jin Ziming decided to learn from the successful experience of studying in Yuncheng and adopt the simplest strategy of catching everything in one fell swoop.

He interacted with everyone from top to bottom of the Juxing Gate station, even the guards at the gate and the deacon who flew the airship for Elder Peng.

Of course, there are deep and shallow contacts, and the time invested varies.

This is in sharp contrast to the number of roads in Qingyu Gate:

Yang Feng only saw the first elder and the second elder every time he came, and only occasionally visited Chen Ruiqin. Nie Wushuang, who was under him, only hung out in the Gongjian Hall in charge of the affairs.

After a while, some "unrelated" people began to take the initiative to give Jin Ziming advice.

Qingyumen specially allocated a small airship for Yang Feng, and he would fly over occasionally.

At that time, someone from Juxing Sect will notify Jin Ziming in advance.

On this day, he will not go to the station to avoid letting his opponents discover that there is a minor cultivator from the Lingyun Sect working silently here.

The only time I bumped into Yang Feng and Nie Wushuang who were visiting them was when they invited everyone in the Gongjian Hall to have lunch. Jin Ziming happened to be there, so he was forced to go with them by Chen Ruiqin.

After the meal, Hong Jingqian couldn't help but ask:

"Zi Ming, aren't you usually a good talker and good at telling things?

Why did you act so slow and dull just now? Aren't you afraid of losing the Lingyun Sect's face in front of Qing Yumen?"

"Haha, Jing Qian, I am thick-skinned and not afraid. I like to keep a low profile."

Jin Ziming really didn't want Yang Feng and others to notice him, so it was best to treat him as a low-level technician.

When Elder Peng was stationed at the station, he would visit him and chat with him about some of the latest developments in the sect and the world of cultivation. They would also occasionally get together in the evenings.

Elder Peng has a nephew who is doing business in Thunder City. He sometimes comes to Shuiye, and Jin Ziming also knows him.

The reckless man is very magnanimous. If he can help his nephew, he will do his best to help; when he cannot help, he will give others advice.

But speaking from the bottom of his heart, he admired Pan Chenan the most and had the most profound interactions with him.

Pan Chenan is not that old, he just looks older.

After the two communicated more, they found that they had a lot in common about some major issues and cultivation understandings.

The two of them had been sparring in private, and Pan Chenan was even more impressed when he discovered that this golden elixir was actually inseparable from his Nascent Soul in the early stage.

Jin Ziming began to treat Pan Chenan as an eldest brother. When his father passed away, he did not give him a gift, but rushed to Pan's hometown.

He organized the funeral with Pan Chen'an, so that the mourners thought he was an adopted son adopted by Pan's father.

After working at Pan's house, he took a stroll around this strange town and found that there was a famous local cloth shoe store with a history of hundreds of years.

Jin Ziming's heart suddenly moved. Although this thing is not valuable, it can most impress Pan Chen'an, a person who values ​​friendship and misses his hometown.

So he bought a variety of shoes, and every once in a while, when Pan Chenan thought they were almost worn out, he would give him a new pair of shoes.

The two of them also have a common hobby, which is to go to the riverside to eat the local specialty beancurd at sunset. Add a little ginger oil to the seasoning to make the aroma more unique.

Douhua is very cheap, and many workers digging sand by the river will come in groups to eat it at night.

Although the two were monks, they were not pretentious. They crowded together with these workers and had a hot pot while sweating profusely. It was a great pleasure.

Over at Gongjiantang, Jin Ziming gradually figured out from everyone's conversations how dissatisfied these people were with Qingyu Sect.

In the early years, Yang Feng, like himself, got along with them, but now he only hangs around the First Elder and the Second Elder, and it is hard to see him anymore.

And Nie Wushuang, his subordinate, was just a follower. He was respectful to Yang Feng. He worked in front of the horse and behind the horse. In Gongjian Hall, he was only close to Hall Master Chen.

This powerful official often needs to go out to explore new mines and supervise the mining of old mines.

Jin Ziming had nothing to do anyway, so he shamelessly flew with Chen Ruiqin, Hong Jingqian and others, firstly to ensure logistics, and secondly to help with drawing and surveying.

He has been to almost all the mining sites in Shuiye, and many of them belong to Qingyu Gate.

He did not shy away from suspicion and regarded himself as a "deacon" of Gongjiantang, reviewing plans and making suggestions.

Gradually, Jin Ziming thoroughly understood the mining equipment and the details of the mining of spiritual minerals in major mining areas.

Even Qingyumen's products and solutions are familiar to him, and he already has the ability to create plans and configurations for his opponents.

I have been separated from the fairy for a long time, and I miss her very much. Sometimes the charming appearance of the enchantress flashes in my mind.

Once when he returned to Thunder City, he specially prepared two letters and entrusted the Tianxia Association to take them with him.

The daily practice did not stop, Jin Ziming continued to ponder the changes of "Fengchi Dao".

Now that we can incorporate spells and use sound waves to assist attacks, can we also design new attack methods in terms of the color and brightness of the fog belt?
