Two shop assistants were standing casually at the counter, flirting and chatting.
"Dingling bell..." The door was pushed open and hit the wind chime on the door, making a sound.
The male clerk looked up and saw a bald man coming in. He was wearing sunglasses and a tie, with a big belly. He looked indescribably funny.
Behind the bald man, a beautiful working woman walked in with her hair pulled low and a silk scarf elegantly tied around her neck. She was wearing high heels and her back was straight.
"Hello, what do you two want?"
The female clerk asked with a standard smile.
"Do you have tea here?"
The woman brushed the broken hair around her ears and asked casually.
The female clerk looked at the male clerk next to her, who nodded and walked out of the counter.
"You two please come this way first!"
The male clerk lowered his head and stretched out his arms to guide the two of them to a corner.
In a secluded corner, two people were already sitting there.
One person was leaning on a chair, holding a past journal in his hand, and looking at it carefully.
Although his hair is slightly gray, he still has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looks very energetic.
The other man wore gold-rimmed eyes and looked gentle. He was holding a coffee cup in one hand and taking a sip.
Seeing the male clerk leading a man and a woman towards him, the gentle man with glasses quickly put down his coffee and whispered to the people next to him.
"Principal Jiang, the people from the Social Animal Gang are here!"
Jin Jinsong put down the old journal in his hand and when he looked up, the two people were almost there.
Jiang Jinsong used to be the vice president of Xicheng Agricultural University, so naturally he also had a bit of arrogance.
When he saw the two of them approaching the table, he slowly stood up with a smile.
"Aren't you two here for coffee?"
The gentle man with glasses also stood up early and asked politely.
"The coffee is too bitter, we are here to enjoy tea." The woman wearing a silk scarf replied with a smile.
"Tea? There's no tea here." The man with the eyes smiled again and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, let's have two glasses of lemon and honey water!" The scarf woman smiled lightly and pulled out the chair.
The man with eyes and Jiang Jinsong looked at each other, nodded, and then ordered the male clerk.
"Two glasses of lemon and honey water."
The male clerk nodded and left.
“Let’s talk directly when we meet, and there are no hidden codes!”
Jiang Jinsong was very displeased when he saw the man with a big belly. Jiang Jinsong didn't care much. On the contrary, the beautiful woman looked very embarrassed, but he quickly introduced her with a smile.
"You two must be from the University Alliance. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Jiaying, and I am the assistant to the leader of the Social Animal Self-Help Helping Group."
Then he looked at the bald man next to him and continued.
"This is the leader of our community animal self-help gang, Xu Feng."
Xu Feng was a little impatient and sat down before the other person introduced himself.
Zhang Jiaying showed an awkward smile.
The man with glasses looked at Jiang Jinsong beside him. Jiang Jinsong shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
The man with the eyes then spoke again, "I am the representative of this negotiation organized by the University Alliance. I once worked at Xicheng University of Finance and Economics. You can just call me Qiao Ran."
After Qiao Ran introduced himself, he pointed at the old man beside him.
"The person next to me is the current general leader of our university alliance and the former vice president of Xicheng Agricultural University, President Jiang Jinsong!"
When Qiao Ran introduced Jiang Jinsong, he deliberately raised his voice so that Xu Feng could hear him clearly.
Zhang Jiaying smiled slightly, stretched out her hand, and shook hands with Jiang Jinsong and Qiao Ran one by one.
"Principal Jiang, Professor Qiao, I have long admired your name."
After the three of them shook hands, they sat down one by one.
Zhang Jiaying smiled and spoke again, "Speaking of which, my alma mater is Xicheng Technology and Business University. Our three schools still have some connections!"
Qiao Ran and Jiang Jin looked at each other and laughed immediately.
"It turns out he is a student from the Industrial and Commercial University. No wonder he has a capable spirit all over his body."
Qiao Ran looked at Zhang Jiaying's young and beautiful appearance and couldn't help but admire her.
"Humph!" Xu Feng snorted coldly.
"The president of this university and the professor of that university! This is the end of the world, what's the use of talking about this!"
Xu Feng did not have a high degree of education, and he was often looked down upon and scorned by others at work because of this. So when he heard the three people talking about his academic qualifications, his past experiences of being disliked and ridiculed came to mind again.
Xu Feng crossed his legs and looked sideways at Zhang Jiaying.
"So what if you came from a good university? You are still under my control now. Do you have to call me whatever I want you to call me?"
Zhang Jiaying's expression changed suddenly, but she hid it well. She just smiled slightly, lowered her head and said.
"That's what the gang leader said."
Qiao Ran coughed dryly, "Don't mind, Gang Leader Xu, we don't know each other. I think Miss Zhang just wants to use this topic to get us acquainted."
Xu Feng's eyes revealed a fierce look, which made Qiao Ran lean back involuntarily.
"We're familiar with each other? That's not necessary! Today we are here to talk about business, not to keep in touch with each other!"
What Xu Feng said left Qiao Ran speechless.
"Your lemon and honey water, use it slowly."
The male clerk brought the lemonade just at this moment.
Xu Feng was not polite and picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Hahahahaha!"
After the male clerk left, Jiang Jinsong couldn't help laughing.
"Gang Leader Xu is indeed straightforward, so as you said, let's talk about business directly!"
Xu Feng leaned back on his chair in disbelief.
"Since it is your university alliance that has sent the invitation for an interview, then you should go ahead and talk!"
Jiang Jinsong smiled.
"Then let's ask your help first."
"First of all, as Leader Xu is the leader of one of the five major forces in the west of the city, he must know that although there is no legislative provision for the territory in the west of the city, it is indeed divided."
Xu Feng raised his eyebrows, unable to say no.
Jiang Jinsong then asked, "May I ask, why do people from your gang appear in the jurisdiction of our university alliance? And compete with us for the hunting of the same giant pig beast?"
Xu Feng had long expected that people from the University Alliance would seize this point and ask questions.
"President Jiang, right? First of all, you also said that there is no explicit rule! Then there is no rule that only people from your university alliance can move in that area."
"However, even so, I have already dealt with the people under my control. You can't say anything more about this, right?"
Jiang Jinsong and Qiao Ran looked at Zhang Jiaying.
Zhang Jiaying nodded.
"Indeed, it's because the newcomers to our gang don't understand the rules. The gang leader has already severely dealt with those people!"
Then, Zhang Jiaying told Jiang Jinsong and Qiao Ran about the meeting within their gang.
The two of them looked at each other, mentally calculating the truthfulness of what Zhang Jiaying and Xu Feng said.
After Qiao Ran and Jiang Jinsong looked at each other, he spoke again...
"On this point, we believe what you are saying for the time being. Besides, the matter has already happened, so there is no need to get too entangled. However, regarding the whereabouts of those hundreds of thousands of crystal cores, our alliance hopes that your gang can be honest with each other.
"
Jiang Jinsong nodded.
"Yes, first of all, as the leader of the University Alliance, I can swear on my credibility that our University Alliance has not seen a single crystal core of this huge amount. So we have reasonable doubts whether your gang has monopolized this crystal core.
Nuclear? Please give a reasonable explanation."
Xu Feng snorted coldly.
"You didn't see it, and neither did we! Not only that, several of my brothers were seriously injured. It is said that the alliance was the first to strike?"
Qiao Ran just frowned and prepared to retort.
Xu Feng stretched out his hand to hold down the table and stared at Jiang Jinsong closely.
"But our gang has always been generous, so let's not worry about this. But the crystal core you are talking about, it is true that we have not obtained it! On this point, you dare to guarantee! I dare too!"
Jiang Jinsong looked into Xu Feng's eyes.
"What our gang leader said is true. We did not take the crystal core. When our friends came back, they said that it was your university alliance that monopolized the crystal core."
Seeing Zhang Jiaying's sincerity, Qiao Ran lowered his head and pretended to think again.
"This is strange. Our teachers and students also said the same thing after they came back. They said that after the Pangzhu beast was hunted, they did not see the crystal core. They suspected that someone from your gang had embezzled a huge amount of the crystal core."
Zhang Jiaying nodded, "Xiangbi, you have also held a meeting on this issue. You must have reached a conclusion at the meeting before you asked us to talk!"
Zhang Jiaying made her words clear and Jiang Jinsong smiled.
"It seems that our two groups have reached the same conclusion?"
Zhang Jiaying glanced at Xu Feng, turned around and replied.
"Yes! Our gang leader suspects that a third-party force has taken advantage of the loopholes within our organization and caused us to have a dispute with your university alliance so that they can benefit from it!"
Jiang Jinsong pondered.
"It seems that the people under our control have been used as guns by others."
Then he asked again.
"Does your gang have any clues or clues about third-party forces?"
Zhang Jiaying turned her head to look at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng gritted his teeth.
"I don't know if you two have heard about it. The other three major forces seem to think that our two factions have formed an alliance and will make new moves!"
Jiang Jinsong frowned.
"I have already heard about this matter. Because of this, I temporarily changed the time and place of the meeting to ensure that it will never be known to outsiders."
Qiao Ran also sighed, "The meeting originally scheduled for noon has been changed to three o'clock in the morning. There is really nothing we can do about it. I hope Gang Leader Xu and Miss Zhang can forgive me."
Zhang Jiaying smiled softly, "The gang leader and I still understand this, and we also agree with this change. But, having said that, among the other three major forces, I wonder which one you will suspect?"
The words went back and forth and then came back again.
Jiang Jinsong especially had a headache.
"As we all know, our university alliance has always only focused on its own safety. We have never infringed on the rights of other forces. Let alone infringement, in fact, we know very little about other gangs. That's why we have no clue about it.
I specially invite your help to discuss it together.”
What Jiang Jinsong said is true. Their university alliance is indeed a moderate force that only focuses on itself.
They neither take the initiative to make friends with other forces nor offend other forces.
In contrast, the Social Animal Self-Help Gang has made some enemies, large and small, in its development.
This is not because the people at Social Animal Self-Help are too arrogant.
The assessment system of the Social Animal Self-Help Group is very strict, which puts great pressure on the "performance" of the human crystal cores underneath!
This leads to the fact that in the face of some small amounts of crystal cores, they dare to offend others in order to get the crystal cores.
Among them, if there is one who has the deepest grievances with the Shewu Self-Help Gang, it must be Rainbow Hall, which is adjacent to their territory!
Rainbow Hall is also one of the five major forces in the west of the city.
They have always had disputes with the Shewu Self-Help Gang on the fringes of their territory, and people under the two factions often have minor frictions.
Therefore, after this incident, the first thing that the Social Animal Self-Help Gang thought of was Rainbow Hall!
Wang Jiaying hesitated, but still spoke slowly.
"Our Social Animal Self-Help Group is indeed the target of suspicion, but there is no evidence now, so it's hard to say..."
Jiang Jinsong asked tentatively.
"Is it possible that someone from Rainbow Hall is causing trouble?"
Xu Feng raised his eyebrows.
"What? Are you also suspicious of those freaks at Rainbow Hall? To be honest, we are indeed at odds with those people, but in this matter, there is no evidence, and we dare not draw any conclusions."
When Jiang Jinsong heard what Xu Feng said, he couldn't help but look at Xu Feng with admiration.
"I didn't expect that Gang Leader Xu also pays attention to finding evidence when doing things!"
Just as Qiao Ran was teasing with a smile, he felt two oppressive gazes coming from different directions.
"Qiao Ran!" Jiang Jinsong shouted to Qiao Ran.
Xu Feng's eyes looked fierce, and Qiao Ran was so frightened that he immediately explained.
"I...I mean... Gang Leader Xu seems to be the more decisive type..."
Seeing Qiao Ran trembling in front of him, Xu Feng smiled and snorted coldly.
"Oh, what Professor Qiao said is not wrong. I'm not afraid of going to the Rainbow Hall. However, I can't just care about myself! After all, I have so many people to feed."
Jiang Jinsong smiled and nodded.
"What Gang Leader Xu said makes sense. That's why we said it was reasonable to suspect Rainbow Hall, rather than saying it must be Rainbow Hall."
Then, the topic changed again.
"However, since we have already suspected them, we have indeed lost the common crystal core. I wonder what Gang Leader Xu is going to do next? I would like to hear Gang Leader Xu's suggestions."
Xu Feng didn't think much about it, but when Jiang Jinsong said that, Xu Feng felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
This time the crystal core went missing, it was indeed a duck that was eaten by someone else.
Xu Feng gritted his teeth viciously and said.
"If it is really Rainbow Hall, then of course I will seek justice!"
Jiang Jinsong nodded.
"That's right! We definitely can't give them an advantage! But now the problem is coming again. People in Rainbow Hall must also know that we have no evidence and evidence to prove that they took the crystal core! So, this time, this dumb loss, I think both of us
I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my mouth!"
Xu Feng was so angry that all the flesh on his face was piled together.
Rainbow Hall! Well done!
Wang Jiaying realized that Jiang Jinsong was inciting Xu Feng's inner resentment towards Rainbow Hall, but after thinking about it, she decided not to express it.
Sure enough, when Xu Feng raised his head again, anger was clearly visible in his eyes.
"Principal Jiang, why don't we join forces!"
Xu Feng sat up straight and looked at Jiang Jinsong.
Jiang Jinsong was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Feng to be so direct.
