The president has always been straightforward when talking and doing things. This is also the consistent style of Xindongjie, so after having a drink, Lei Qiong made things clear.
Ji Qinglin knew that the president was not someone who coveted the favor of the Chamber of Commerce, so there must be a reason for his thinking.
"If the president needs it, Qinglin will naturally have no objection. President, you must also have your own reasons."
Lei Qiong knew that Ji Qinglin always respected him, but he still felt a little awkward when he heard these words, so he explained:
"Can I still covet your small shop? But in two months, the Chamber of Commerce will hold a cultivation competition. In addition to discussing Taoism and fighting for wishes, some areas will also redefine their spheres of influence. The most important thing is that other chambers of commerce may join in
Participate, Qinglin, although your store is small, you are still an elder. If you encounter other merchants, I think it would be more honorable for you to hand over your store directly."
Ji Qinglin could tell that this was because he was afraid that he would embarrass Xindong Street in the cultivation competition. Then there would be opinions from both inside and outside, and he would be unable to save either a place or face.
Although Ji Qinglin, who had never started cultivation, could support the grocery store with his other abilities, he also knew that he would probably not be able to withstand such a head-on conflict.
Before Ji Qinglin could reply, the man in white who was pouring wine behind Lei Qiong added:
"Mr. President, this is also for your own good. Please don't let down the President's kindness."
Ji Qinglin naturally understood the president's good intentions, but he didn't expect the newcomer to dare to interrupt. He immediately raised his head and frowned:
"Oh? Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Lei Qiong also realized something was wrong, turned around and shouted softly:
"Be a good person and don't have no rules!"
"yes."
There is a place to change the topic, and Ji Qinglin will naturally not let it go:
"President, who is he?"
Lei Qiong did not stand up, raised his hand and introduced:
"This is Ji Congliang, the disciple of Zilongfeng Yujizi. He is very good in character. Yujizi sent him to me to learn the method of unblocking the sinews and meridians."
After President Lei Qiong introduced the names, not only Ji Qinglin nodded, but Yu Ye behind him also nodded.
Ji Congliang? What a good name.
Yu Ye: This name is so weird.
Crazy Night: This is nothing, just to commemorate my previous career.
However, Ji Qinglin soon noticed the problem:
Only one day has passed since the apprenticeship selection ceremony. Even if this guy is not a good person, there is no way he can be so familiar with Yu Jizi, unless they have known each other before.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Congliang stepped forward to salute and said:
"I just offended the elder with my unbridled words, please forgive me."
He was very polite, but Ji Qinglin could tell that this guy's eyes didn't look at him at all, but kept drifting towards Yu Ye.
Is this guy really a good guy?
Yuye was brought by her master, but she didn't have time to go back and change clothes. Although her sailor suit was covered by a windbreaker, it couldn't cover her hot figure at all, not to mention her two beautiful white legs and the interesting necklace around her neck.
Ji Congliang admired Yu Ye's beauty with good eyes, and his dissatisfaction with Ji Qinglin, an empty-headed elder, became a little stronger in his heart.
He thought that although Ji Qinglin looked majestic and dignified this time, he was actually a beast in clothes. Dressing up his apprentice like this was probably the only way to satisfy his lustful taste.
But then I thought about it, wouldn't it be more exciting if this beautiful girl had been trained well?
Yuye, on the other hand, felt like she was being targeted by something unclean, and involuntarily leaned towards Ji Qinglin.
Lei Qiong saw that Ji Qinglin still didn't give a reply, so he added:
"Qinglin, I have thought about it. I will keep this title of elder for you. In addition to the settlement fee, I will give you a private subsidy every month. It will also save you the trouble of running the grocery store. Do you think so?
good?"
President Lei Qiong has tried his best to consider Ji Qinglin's situation, and even to Ji Congliang's ears, it was simply good and unreasonable.
And Ji Qinglin was indeed considering it carefully. The grocery store itself did not have much income. As an old man in Xindong Street, Lao Hutou was also afraid that it would fall into the hands of other forces. Now it would be easier to leave it to Lei Qiong.
"Now that the president has spoken, how dare I refuse, but I have a condition that I want to discuss with the president."
Hearing the master's promise, Yuye frowned.
Now that I have officially become a disciple, I am about to break up?
Lei Qiong was overjoyed when he heard this and said:
"But it doesn't matter, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"I don't have to ask for any goods in the store, but my disciple Yu Ye must still be my disciple."
There was nothing valuable in the grocery store except the defense system, but Yuye was the rare person he could find who was related to the old era and could be trusted now.
As soon as these words came out, both Lei Qiong and Yu Ye were startled. Only Ji Congliang, who was opposite him, frowned.
Yu Ye: I guess he still has some conscience.
Crazy Night: So the coal boss doesn’t want it, right? Can I keep it?
Lei Qiong did not expect that Ji Qinglin would care about his disciples at this time, but when he thought that this was the first disciple he had accepted, it was understandable that he would be particularly concerned.
"It is rare to have a deep master-disciple relationship, so I am naturally satisfied with this requirement."
Not to mention letting her be your apprentice all the time, even if she marries you, it won't be a problem, but it's all dressed up like this, and it doesn't seem like she needs help.
"Your name is Yu Ye, right? Don't let down your master's kindness."
Yuye nodded slightly:
"yes."
Lei Qiong was about to communicate the details with Ji Qinglin, but Yu Ye bowed slowly and raised his head and said:
"President, I have something that I don't understand. Can I ask you for advice?"
"Huh? Say."
"I heard from my tutor that you, the president, have built up today's family business bit by bit, so why didn't the president give my tutor a chance and instead persuaded him to give up on his own initiative? Could it be that the president felt that my tutor could neither hold on to his territory nor have the ability to hold on to his territory?"
Ability to work hard?”
Lei Qiong did not expect that the girl in front of him would be so bold, even if he questioned him face to face, she would actually tell the truth.
Lei Qiong was determined to reply, but then he thought about it. Ji Qinglin was a man of seven feet after all. How could Qinglin keep it on his face if he said it in front of his apprentice?
Thinking about it, he shook his head and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to Ji Qinglin and said:
"Qinglin, you have to enlighten your disciples."
Ji Qinglin was eating vegetables. After hearing this, he swallowed a mouthful before replying:
"Yuye, this is the truth."
Lei Qiong, who had just taken a sip of wine, almost spit it out.
Qinglin, you are a good boy, you know how to enlighten.
Ji Qinglin didn't mean to be rude, but simply didn't want to make things difficult for the president. After all, it was rare to have someone in Xindong Street who thought about himself.
Besides, by agreeing to the president at this time, I was selling a favor in disguise. The worse my situation is, the greater the favor will be.
Yuye understood the reason, but she had really seen Ji Qinglin's strength. Even though she had only seen it once, she thought that even the upper-level Qi refiners at the foundation level might not be able to do it. She understood that the master was just being tolerant.
She said this because she knew that Master didn't care about face so much, but she didn't expect Master's answer to be so shameless.
Seeing that the president was difficult to answer, Yuye asked:
"President, I understand, so in other words, if you can prove your master's ability, can you keep the shop?"
"Yuye!"
Ji Qinglin wanted to turn around and stop him, but Lei Qiong waved his hand and said:
"Let her continue."
"If the disciple can get a good ranking in the cultivation competition, will it be able to prove the master's ability and avoid having to hand over the shop?"
Crazy Night: Why are you crazier than me? Do you want to repay him for finding the meridians suit?
Yuye: Not exactly. I know that Master is hiding his clumsiness on purpose, but if the president agrees, Master will definitely teach us something, and there is no need for Master to take risks.
