Chapter 197: The random flowers are becoming more and more charming.
After the banquet was over, Lei Xiaohuan went to find Qi Xuansu and apologized to him.
If Qi Xuansu hadn't understood Lei Xiaohuan's temperament, he would have thought that Lei Xiaohuan had been prepared long ago.
Naturally, Qi Xuansu wouldn't blame Lei Xiaohuan. In fact, even if Lei Xiaohuan wasn't there, Qi Muyu would have found him through other means. It would be a matter of time.
Lei Xiaohuan told Qi Xuansu that although Quanzhen Taoism was mainly responsible for the Western Region trade routes on land, with the prosperity of sea trade, the trade on land trade routes had declined, so Quanzhen Taoism also engaged in sea trade business. ??
Qi Muyu was naturally involved in this area, focusing on Nanyang. He had been doing business with the Wang family in the past. However, he might have found Qi Xuansu because he heard some rumors.
This is very interesting. I wonder what kind of internal news Qi Muyu heard. If it was just the news that Qi Xuansu will serve as the second deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Palace, then this is an ordinary cooperation. But if he heard about Quanzhen Taoist plans
The news of the attack on the Wang family means that he is betting on Qi Xuansu.
In fact, Qi Xuansu didn't want to have anything to do with Qi Muyu, but behind Qi Muyu was Qi Jiaozheng. They were both members of Quanzhen Taoism, and Qi Jiaozheng was a powerful local sect. It was really not good for him to offend Qi Jiaozheng for no reason.
Zheng, so I had no choice but to follow Qi Mu Yuxu and Weishe.
Although we can't think that Qi Jiaozheng must have promoted this matter, or even think that this must be Qi Jiaozheng's intention, Qiniang taught Qi Xuansu a truth, what is said is not necessarily true, and what is not said is true.
It's over. In any case, Qi Muyu has used Qi Jiaozheng's signature, and Qi Xuansu must give Qi Jiaozheng's face. As for how to give it, he has to carefully consider it. It must be reasonable and legal, and cannot be allowed to be given to others.
It's really not easy to catch the pigtails and explain to the Qi family so that they can express their gratitude.
As for the grievances between the master and the Qi family, it is not time to delve into it yet. Qi Xuansu has made a fortune too fast and has an unstable foundation. He has already offended the Li family. It is really not good to make enemies rashly. He must be stable on his own side.
And judging from Qi Muyu's attitude, it seems that there is no deep grudge. If the master really had any life-or-death feud with the Qi family, then the Qi family would have silenced them long ago, and would not have waited until Shen Yuxi hired a murderer to kill the Qi family.
His attitude towards Qi Xuansu would not be to proactively come to the house to cooperate, but he would never be able to keep him.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu speculated that it was probably due to a dispute between spirits. The master left the Qi family in anger, and even Qi Jiaozheng did not know about it. The last time he saw Qi Jiaozheng, the head of the Qi family had never heard of Qi Haoran.
The name seems to support this from the side.
Qi Xuansu sent Lei Xiaohuan away, but Qi Muyu blocked him again and invited him to a private banquet. The so-called private banquet is actually
There are only two people, avoiding other unrelated people and talking about some substantive content. At the same time, this is also a way to bring the relationship closer, striking while the iron is hot.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to agree and attend the private banquet. This time, Qi Muyu was much more serious. Although she still had peach blossoms in her eyes and was flirtatious, she was more like this by nature rather than deliberately doing it. She was more like
He is a businessman and talks about business matters.
As expected, Qi Muyu already knew that Qi Xuansu was going to be sent to Borneo, and they were talking about business in Nanyang. She asked Qi Xuansu to take care of her, and she could give him some appropriate compensation.
As for what this reward is, it's a matter of opinion. It can be money, sex, or even both money and sex. As Qi Muyu said, a handsome man like Qi Xuansu still doesn't know who is taking advantage of whom.
.
Qi Xuansu naturally does not want to cause trouble, but he also has a shield. As long as it complies with Taoist laws, he will deal with it impartially and will never embarrass "one of his own". If there is any trouble, he will try his best to help. This is clear
The answer on the surface. As for some specific business matters, he didn't understand, so he asked Qi Muyu to talk to Qiniang or Huan Ji.
Because Qi Xuansu has not yet taken office, Qi Muyu cannot talk about specific business, so he is satisfied to get such an answer from Qi Xuansu.
After Qi Xuansu left, he felt a little tired. This was the party in charge. Before he took office, well-informed people had already come to his door. When he officially took office, there were still no one who knew how many people were going to "hunt" him.
If you do it, it is against the law, and if you don't do it, you will offend others.
If you are in a key position and block other people's financial path, others will pull you down and replace you with someone who is willing to cooperate. So many times, people without background and backing know that this matter is unreasonable and illegal.
, but for the sake of one’s own future, one still has to “live in harmony with the light”.
I don't know how many Taoist priests were dragged into the water like this. Qi Xuansu returned to his prison room and asked Ke Qingqing to prepare a pen and ink. He wrote the word "wake up" and stared at it for a long time.
The random flowers are gradually charming the eyes.
Women are flowers, money is also a flower, and power is the most delicate flower.
Finally, Qi Xuansu asked Ke Qingqing to frame these two words.
Of course, there are many banquets every day that Qi Xuansu is expected to attend. If every one
After everyone agreed, Qi Xuansu didn't have to do anything else for the day, only drinking and eating, and various "fate". Normally, unless it was absolutely necessary to attend, he would let Ke Qingqing refuse it for him. As for what
It is a must to attend, and it is a must to attend to see Lei Xiaohuan off.
Entering mid-April, the situation in Fenglinzhou has been generally stable and is gradually getting back on track.
Regarding the second step of the "Three Steps", it finally stopped hanging in the air and fell to the ground, where the dust settled.
Before the official announcement, as usual, Donghua Master will have a conversation with Qi Xuansu on behalf of Jin Que as the Master of Ziweitang.
Qi Xuansu was in Ziweitang, and it only took a few steps to reach the signing room of Master Donghua.
At this time, Master Donghua is presiding over the discussion and has not come over yet.
Qi Xuansu was accompanied by Donghua Zhenren's secretary Gong Jiaojun.
During the few days Qiniang was in Yujing, she taught Qi Xuansu many practical principles.
In the past, Qi Xuansu always took it for granted that when it came to the Taoist sect's internal fame and fortune, there must be intersecting interests. If you asked someone to do something, you would not have to cede some real interests.
Qiniang said, this idea is not entirely correct. In the past, you had a low status, so there was nothing wrong with you. But now that you have risen in status, you have become a second-in-command, especially a second-in-command at a local level. With only two or three people above your head, you will come into contact with many people.
If you persist in this way even if you are at the same level as you or even lower than you, you are degrading yourself. But if you do not cede your interests, they will have no friendship with you and will not be under your control, so why should they help you?
When encountering this situation, we have to take a detour. The key is not money and profits, but connections.
Networking is also a benefit, but it is a debt of gratitude, not so tangible, and somewhat ethereal.
Establishing a complete network system is essential, but it cannot be achieved overnight. Each relationship requires time to accumulate and settle. Qi Xuansu's rise was too short, so this aspect is a weakness.
Why do secretaries become successful easily? It is because their position determines that it is easy for them to build a complete network of contacts.
At this time, Gong Jiaojun had only been with Donghua Master for a short period of time and had not yet been promoted to assistant minister. He was at a lower level than Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu could not take it lightly. The two chatted for a while, and Qi Xuansu said casually, "Gong Dao.
Brother, I follow Master Donghua, and Master Donghua also trusts and relies on Brother Dao Zhong. I heard that many people secretly call Brother Gong Dao the Second Palm Hall."
Gong Jiaojun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense.
.”
Qi Xuansu deliberately joked, "It's rare to be alone with Brother Gong Dao today, so I have to make good use of Brother Gong Dao."
Gong Jiaojun smiled and said, "If Vice Hall Master Qi needs anything, just ask."
Qi Xuansu said, "Since Brother Gong Dao said so, I will speak out shamelessly. Brother Gong Dao has been in Yujing for a long time and has a wide network of contacts. Can you introduce me to a few trustworthy friends, preferably from Borneo.
"
Gong Jiaojun couldn't help but look at Qi Xuansu in the bottom of his heart. He didn't directly say what he wanted, but only said to introduce a few friends. It was a bit easy. He was indeed a young underachiever valued by Donghua Master. And compared with the three aristocratic families,
People with a good background are more able to put down their arrogance, and a man can bend and stretch.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of this, I really have some good friends."
In fact, this kind of communication is mutual. Now Qi Xuansu seeks help from Gong Jiaojun, but Gong Jiaojun cannot stay with Donghua Master for a lifetime. He will eventually be released. By then, Qi Xuansu will have risen to a higher position.
, and then returning the favor is to support Gong Jiaojun in turn. This is what comes and goes. It can also be said that Gong Jiaojun is investing in the future.
Of course, if Qi Xuansu dies midway, everything will be lost and this investment will be in vain.
Gong Jiaojun mentioned a few names, but did not specify the specific positions of these people. He only mentioned how they met, what kind of friendship they had, and highlighted their preferences and temperaments.
Qi Xuansu didn't ask deeply, he would naturally do his homework afterwards.
In addition, Gong Jiaojun will also say hello in advance. Even though Gong Jiaojun is just the boss, he represents Donghua Zhenren in a sense. Few people dare to visit Qi Xuansu again without selling face.
It was much simpler at that time, and some people would even take the initiative to come to see Qi Xuansu. This has nothing to do with the specific level, but only with power.
After some small talk, at first glance, Qi Xuansu did not promise Gong Jiaojun anything, and Gong Jiaojun did not ask for anything. It was like chatting behind someone's back.
Only those who have been in Taoism for a long time can understand the subtle meaning.
Qi Xuansu is no longer the reckless person. After these few years of experience, he has not only learned the superficial official accent. In Qiniang's words, it means speaking human language when seeing people and telling ghosts when seeing ghosts. How to deal with Qi Muyu, how to deal with Gong
Teaching Jun is two completely different ways.
While the two were talking, Master Donghua ended the discussion and walked over.
They both stood up at the same time and faced Master Donghua.
