Chapter 71 Psychological Price
The Jiuchuan Group is also one of the top forces in the entire Yong'an City.
However, in recent years, serious divisions have occurred within Jiuchuan, with the three major shareholders competing in secret and overt conflicts.
The company's power was dispersed, its performance declined severely, and there was obvious turmoil within the company.
According to gossip, the cause of this decentralization was an attack.
To put it simply, Qi Yao's father was attacked and seriously injured. Although the specific circumstances are unknown, it is rumored that the three brothers and sisters of the Qi family are very suspicious.
If the truth cannot be found out, the possibility of patricide will always exist.
This resulted in a situation where power was divided into three parts, and the three directors suppressed each other and were wary of each other.
…
When they arrived outside the restaurant, the waiters who had been waiting for them ushered several people into the private room.
Unexpectedly, Miss San and Uncle Lei were also there, sitting on one side of the dining table, nodding to them with smiles on their faces.
After all, we are all acquaintances, and the third lady became more straightforward in her speech: "I was afraid that Qi Wenjun would be unfavorable to you, so I came to take a look."
She is very straight, which is completely inconsistent with the image of an elegant lady in my impression. I wonder if she was infected by Ying Xiaoxiao.
Qi Wenjun, on the other hand, didn't mind at all. He opened the lid of the meal himself and said, "Sister, remember to call me big brother next time. These dishes are all your favorites, and I asked the cook to prepare them specially."
Listening to this doting tone, this person is definitely a pervert.
After nagging for a while, he looked away from his sister and his tone became normal: "Welcome everyone, please take a seat."
To be honest, from the looks of it, this woman looks like a human. After all, Qi Yao is a great beauty, and her brother of the same blood is no different.
But under his suit and leather shoes, his eyes always flashed with cunning from time to time, and he looked like a very difficult guy.
But fortunately, the third lady was here and took the lead to speak.
"Xu Jiang just broke through the spiritual realm. Group 17 just carried out the mission last night. They need to go back to the base to rest. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Qi Yao didn't give her any face, Qi Wenjun made it clear that she wanted to poach someone, her tone was also rude, and she wanted to go home even before the dishes were even served.
But why does Xu Jiang think that Brother You is trying to find an excuse to force you out? Look at those perverted doting eyes. They have been here for a while and haven't even looked at him.
It wasn't until Qi Yao became impatient that Qi Wenjun turned around, took a sip of red wine, and started talking about business.
"Originally I wanted to poach you, but now it seems that my sister likes you very much, so forget it, let's talk about a deal." Qi Wenjun glanced at Xu Jiang.
"I know you will definitely participate in the Rookie Competition, and I need you to help me buy 10 skill fruits."
After speaking, a secretary handed over a document detailing the rules of the rookie competition.
[Competition Forest] This is the venue for what they call the so-called rookie competition.
Just from the name, you can tell that this place only seeks competition, not killing. Entry is only allowed before level 20. The biggest feature is that you can admit defeat and be teleported directly in the middle.
In the end, 8 people will be selected to receive rewards from the spiritual realm.
However, there is no first place in literature and no second place in military power.
As for Yong'an City, an arena will be built outside the spiritual realm, where the eight winners will compete again to determine the strongest rookie.
After reading the information, Xu Jiang turned his attention to Uncle Lei.
This person has been in a state of excitement since he came out of his spiritual realm. Please look away from his affectionate eyes. I really can't stand it.
Uncle Lei didn't care at all and said with a smile on his face: "Xu Jiang! How difficult do you think this spiritual realm is? Are you confident in competing for first place in the arena competition?"
Xu Jiang:???
"So when you accepted me as your disciple, you didn't think I could win the championship? Then what was your original goal for me?"
"Top eight."
This old man really didn't trust people, so Xu Jiang looked back with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Qi Yao quickly explained from the side: "Xu Jiang, the first eight are actually pretty good. The main reason is that your preparation time is too short, and we are not sure."
Indeed, Xu Jiang’s biggest problem is the short time to join.
This spiritual realm is only opened once a year, and all forces in Yong'an City and all civilian masters will participate.
In order to gain rankings, many people spend more than half a year in leveling up, and the early preparation is by no means comparable to Xu Jiang's half-empty preparation.
According to Uncle Lei's estimation, it would be considered good if Xu Jiang could learn [Revenge and Counterattack] before entering the spiritual realm.
But in the leaked video, Xu Jiang has already mastered [revenge and counterattack] very well.
He single-handedly suppressed the ten-man team of Storm Military Industry. With such fierce fighting power, he has become the favorite to win the championship.
"That's why I came to you for cooperation." Qi Wenjun crossed his fingers on the table with a false smile on his face.
"How to cooperate?"
"In this spiritual realm, a strange businessman will appear. You have to be the first to find him, and then help me buy the 10 skill fruits in his hand. After that, I will reward you."
Skill Fruit, each person can only eat 1 piece, which can increase 1 skill point. It is very precious and needs to be purchased with [Frost Crystal].
Xu Jiang obtained a total of 20 [Frost Crystals] from his two spiritual realms, and they are all still in the bear's pocket. It seems that they can be used next time.
Of course, whether to help or not depends on Qi Yao's opinion. After all, Group 17 is nominally from Qi Yao's faction.
Qi Yao was also generous: "If it is within your ability, of course you can take on this task, but there is one thing I want to give you."
"What advice?"
"Increase the reward 10 times."
Xu Jiang:???
Qi Wenjun:......
Looking at the uncle with twitching eyes, Xu Jiang couldn't help but ask: "But we haven't discussed remuneration yet!"
"Yes, but I'm sure you have underestimated Director Qi Wenjun's financial resources. What is the price in your mind?"
"Um, 500 heterocrystals?"
"Okay! Then 5,000 exotic crystals." Qi Yao looked at her brother: "How about it? Is this price acceptable?"
You are such a good sister, you deceived your brother 10 times when you opened your mouth.
5,000 exotic crystals! This is worth 100 million credits. Qi Wenjun can hardly keep up his fake smile now.
"Sister, how can you help outsiders and cheat your own brother?"
"It's just official business. Xu Jiang is my subordinate. He has become stronger, which is also good for the company."
Maybe she trusts Uncle Lei, maybe she trusts Group 17, or maybe she really has Qi Wenjun's father-killing stone hammer. In short, Qi Yao is obviously fighting against his brother now.
With the separation of powers, Qi Yao's advantage is no longer in money, so squeezing some from Qi Wenjun is the best way.
The brother and sister competed against each other, and after some haggling, the cost was finally set at 3,000 exotic crystals.
Qi Wenjun pinched his eyebrows and felt a little headache.
When he got the skill fruit, he also resold it for profit, but after this, why did he feel like he didn't make any money?
Maybe, it's for my sister.
Qi Wenjun was silent for a while and murmured in a low voice: "Sister, I really didn't do that thing."
The knife and fork in Qi Ya's hand paused for a moment, but she didn't respond. She just lowered her head and continued eating her dinner. The brother and sister had different thoughts.
After the meal, the atmosphere was so dull that Xu Jiang didn't even know how to speak.
Just before leaving, Qi Wenjun chatted with Xu Jiang in private.
"My sister seems to value you very much, remember to protect her."
"Don't worry, I will."
"Keep the enemy away from her."
"certainly."
"Don't let men get close to her either."
"???"
