"Isn't that what people call a measure? The measure of a person who does great things is different from that of ordinary people."
If Gu Chen had been present, he would have been somewhat surprised to hear this comment, right? Treating Zazu's injuries was considered a simple task. If he didn't receive payment, he would feel that he had not contributed much. As for the series of reactions when encountering the Nether Lord,
Get used to planning ahead for the consequences.
Gu Chen thought that he was just doing what was natural, which earned him heartfelt praise from the pioneers. He could only say that it was thanks to his colleagues who acted arbitrarily and continued to lower the overall reputation of the master. It was like the fire envoy red fish,
His dislike for the master is deep-rooted.
"You're so naive! The masters are all heartless, cold-blooded bastards. If you just believe them casually, you might be packed up and sold to monsters for a picnic at any time! How did Uncle Luo lose that leg?
Yes, do you still need me to say it again!?"
"Although I don't know who Uncle Luo is," a solemn female voice suddenly came from the side. "But isn't your statement somewhat inappropriate?"
"What? What we say is none of your business?"
The red fish raised his head and stared at him on the spot, but when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"...Tsk, it's you, Wu Zhen."
The person who came was none other than Wu Zhen, the female secretary who was quite familiar with Hongyu.
Unlike the pioneer-style red fish, Wu Zhen is an elegant woman who is both dignified and well-educated. Although her position is just an ordinary secretary, she is deeply admired by her younger colleagues and is the soul who truly holds the real power in the office.
Character. In front of that calm and majestic attitude, even the most rugged pioneers would not dare to make mistakes.
"Wu, Wu Si Shu is good!"
Guo Beishazu hurriedly stood up and greeted the female secretary. Wu Zhen nodded slightly and returned the greetings to them, and his eyes returned to Yanshi Hongyu again.
“Red Fish, is the master you just talked about the ‘quasi-made’ Mr. Gu Chengu?”
"So what? It has nothing to do with you, right?" Red Fish snorted coldly.
"Of course it has something to do with it. Mr. Gu registered with the Fang Construction Department last week to settle in Liyang City, and I have the honor to serve as his advisor and to assist in his Fang affairs activities. If the crusade against Nize Master is part of his Fang affairs activities,
Then I have the responsibility to understand."
Wu Zhen said as he raised another document in his hand.
"Furthermore, the report you submitted about the mutation of Lord Nize was too brief and cannot be used as a reference. Secretary Xia Ling asked me to re-record it. If possible, could you please describe the situation at that time?
Can I describe it in detail?"
Although the female secretary's words were soft-spoken, her eyes radiated a completely different energy than usual. The soldier on the opposite side of the round table was dripping with cold sweat, as if he was unable to move like a frog stared at by a snake.
……………………
Putting aside the troubles and entanglements of the warriors and gunmen, the news of the crusade of the strange "Ni Ze Lord" was finally officially confirmed by Fang Zaosi and spread throughout Liyang's trading companies within a few days.
On this day, Bai Minghua was busy calculating the branch's revenue for this month in the office. Shopkeeper Hu, who was slightly fat, ran in panting and reported the pioneers' active achievements to her.
"What? Lord Ni Ze was defeated?" Bai Minghua looked up in shock. "Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true. The news was released by Fangzao Division. They have sent people to confirm the scene, and all the rewards offered by the merchant association have been distributed to the pioneers." Hu Ji reported, with a frown on his face.
There was a haze of hesitation about speaking, but Bai Minghua, who was delighted with the news, did not notice it.
"Great! Contact Boss Cui immediately and ask the guys to move the warehouse goods onto the cage truck, and try to get the pack team to set off before tomorrow!" Bai Minghua threw down the fine-bone pen excitedly, ran to the window, and looked from a distance
Not far away were the group of heavy beasts of burden, being served delicious food and drinks.
"I can finally send these guys away..."
Originally, the pack team was supposed to set off two days ago, but due to the chaos caused by the Nize Lords on the trade road, Bai Minghua had to let the pack team temporarily stay in the city in order to avoid the loss of valuable goods. However, the food cost of the pack animals and the burden of the pack animals were not enough.
The hand subsidy and other expenses add up to more than 20,000 copper coins every day, which is undoubtedly an even worse burden for the branch's revenue, which is on the verge of deficit due to the Phoenix Spirit Water.
After finally hearing the news that the trade route was open, Bai Minghua could not wait to send away the group of ancestors who were burning money in the business hall. At the same time, he did not forget the person who caused her to fall into this predicament, and turned around happily.
Asked Hu Ji.
"Speaking of which, what about the freeloader? Haven't you come to see me recently?"
Before this week, Bai Minghua had agreed with Gu Chen that he must repay the debt of 200 silver coins before the pack team set off. After the agreement, he learned that Gu Chen was actually an alchemist. Bai Minghua was shocked and angry.
Chen caused trouble and turned the negotiation to his own advantage, and instead asked his men to buy the perilla leaves necessary for refining Xiaoyue Shui and monopolize it from the market.
In Bai Minghua's opinion, if Gu Chen wanted to continue refining medicine to make money, he would have to lower his head to purchase materials from Ri Shengchang. When he had the upper hand and offered some favors, he could easily reach a compromise with him. In order not to miss the negotiation opportunity,
Bai Minghua has been stationed at the store in recent days, but Gu Chen did not come to make purchases as she expected.
"Tch, you're just a freeloader, how dare you put on airs?"
Bai Minghua, who had been waiting for several days, was angry and making noises.
After all, there was an agreed departure time limit, so even though the situation was not in line with expectations, Bai Minghua did not panic. The idle Gu Chen was a complete foreigner in Liyang City. Without the help of refining medicine, there was no way he could make up the two.
Baiyintong's.
If Gu Chen doesn't have enough money by the time of departure, it will be a dream situation for Bai Minghua. At that time, her creditor position will become particularly strong.
Just pat it flat, it doesn't matter how you play with it.
"Humph, even though the mud master suddenly appeared to help him get two more days, but if he doesn't pay back the money, he still has to follow the pack team to go out into the wilderness? Of course, if you cry and beg me, this lady is not the one
We can’t consider letting him work in Rishengchang to pay off his debts..."
Bai Minghua made the abacus crackle, but Hu Ji next to him coughed violently. Bai Minghua moved his eyes in surprise, but saw that the fat shopkeeper had a particularly difficult expression for some reason, and seemed to be able to speak no longer.
"Miss, when that team of pioneers reported to Fangzaoji, they mentioned some interesting things."
"What's the interesting thing?"
"It seems that when they attacked the Ni Ze Lord, they were almost pushed to the brink of annihilation, and then they were able to regroup with the help of a passing master. And it is said that the one who directly killed the Ni Ze Master was the guard of that master
oh?"
"Eh? Is there such a thing?" Bai Minghua was stunned when he heard this. "Isn't it the job of the pioneers to fight against monsters? Why do the masters of the soft-footed shrimps come to join in the fun when they have nothing to do? Yep, as expected, all the masters have brain problems.
guy."
"Miss, it is said that the reason why the master went to the outside world was to collect materials for refining medicine. And the elixir he wants to refine seems to be Xiaoyu Shui?" Hu Ji said in an almost exasperated tone.
With.
"What?" At this time, Bai Minghua, who was so clearly reminded by his deputy, finally came back to his senses from the dream he had weaved without authorization.
"You mean, that master is..." Bai Minghua blinked her eyes, her face full of astonishment. Rather than being suspicious, it was better to say that she simply didn't want to believe it.
