Chapter 815: Chapter 24: Inspector Jiang Chao
The third floor of the auction house is the resting place for the director of the auction house.
The director of the auction house is nad Jiang Li, a descendant of a side branch of the Jiang Family. However, he later showcased extraordinary cultivation talent and was heavily nurtured by the family, eventually climbing step by step to the position of director of the Heavenly Saint City auction house in East County Divine Land.
Jiang Li looks to be in his forties, appearing very capable. At this mont, the externally prestigious Jiang Li is carefully attending to another person.
Such humility from Jiang Li would undoubtedly shock outsiders.
After all, he is the director of the auction house, a lofty figure. Who could make him bow so low?
“This tea is called Bamboo Leaf Green Tea, a special product from the snowy mountains in the Land of the Extre North of the East County Divine Land. How does it taste, Brother?”
Jiang Li cautiously asked.
The middle-aged cultivator nodded and said, “Cool and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance after drinking. It’s indeed good tea.”
If Lin Feng were here, he might be able to recognize this person’s identity.
Jiang Chao.
The elder of the East Sea Auction House, who once entertained Lin Feng.
And Jiang Chao’s identity is not simple.
His uncle, Jiang Tiandou, oversees the East Sea Auction House.
He is also the general manager of all the auction houses in the Seventy-two States of the North, holding a high and powerful position, and is a significant figure in the Jiang Family.
While in the East Sea,
Jiang Tiandou once deliberately befriended Lin Feng, and Lin Feng had a rather good impression of Jiang Tiandou.
Although shrewd, he was not off-putting and conducted himself impeccably, with the deanor of soone from a prominent family.
Jiang Tiandou set up an inspection bureau, with its mbers responsible for overseeing the auction houses throughout the Seventy-two States of the North.
And then assessing the performance of the auction houses.
The person in charge of this inspection bureau is Jiang Chao.
Of course, Jiang Chao spends most of his ti at the East Sea Auction House, only personally going out to inspect every five years.
Jiang Li smiled and said, “I’m glad Brother likes it. I heard that the ancestor also enjoys tea. When Brother returns, please bring so Bamboo Leaf Green Tea for the ancestor to taste.”
The ancestor Jiang Li ntioned was naturally Jiang Tiandou.
Jiang Tiandou being able to befriend the Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master, Murong Baichuan, indicates his incredibly exalted status.
“You’re thoughtful. I will convey your sentint to Uncle.” Jiang Chao said.
Jiang Li was overjoyed upon hearing this, so he took out a storage ring, handed it to Jiang Chao, and said with a smile, “The tea is ready, please accept it, Brother.”
Jiang Chao took the storage ring, his Divine Sense probing inside.
Then discovered boxes upon boxes of top-grade spiritual stones, likely no less than two hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones.
Jiang Chao nodded in satisfaction.
Offering tea was actually a veiled way of gifting Jiang Chao.
After Jiang Chao accepted it discreetly, he asked, “How’s the business of the Heavenly Saint City auction house?”
“Business is quite good, the account books are here.” Jiang Chao quickly brought out the account books.
“Keep the account books, I don’t look at those. There are dedicated people to check them. Although we are brothers of the sa lineage, let say this clearly – if there is any problem with the account books, or if the business doesn’t et the assessnt requirents, I will report it truthfully.”
Jiang Chao said.
“Of course, little brother understands, and will not make it difficult for Brother.” Jiang Li quickly replied.
Jiang Chao nodded in satisfaction and said, “Of course, if you perform well, I will also report it to the higher-ups. If there’s a vacancy in a better position in the future, I won’t forget you.”
Jiang Li quickly stood up to salute, “Thank you, Brother, for your guidance. I will definitely make a career for myself and not disappoint Brother’s expectations.”
Jiang Chao waved his hand and said, “Since we’re brothers of the sa lineage, you don’t have to be so estranged. By the way, let tell you sothing in advance.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li quickly sat upright, attentively listening.
“The Miss has decided to co out for experience, she is likely to take over my uncle’s position, becoming the general manager of the auction houses in the Seventy-two States of the North. The Miss usually likes to study alchemy skills, so recently pay close attention to whether there are any Ancient dicine Recipes. If so, collect them. When the Miss takes office, offering such a gift will make sure she rembers your na.”
Jiang Chao said.
Jiang Li was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, “I will certainly prepare well.”
“Hmm…” Jiang Chao nodded.
At this mont, Steward Li’s voice suddenly ca from outside, “Reporting to Sir, this subordinate has sothing to request an audience.”
“You scoundrel, do you not know I am accompanying the inspector?”
Jiang Li opened the door and reprimanded coldly.
Steward Li shuddered violently.
The words he initially wanted to say were swallowed back by Jiang Li’s intimidation.
“Jiang Li, let him in. Let’s see what the matter is.” Jiang Chao said with interest. He wanted to see how Jiang Li handled matters regarding the auction house and whether he was worth nurturing.
“Yes, Sir.” Jiang Li responded. In front of outsiders, he naturally knew how to address Jiang Chao.
Addressing as brother was only for when it was the two of them.
This was called affection.
To address as brother in front of outsiders would be inappropriate.
…
“Co in and report,” Jiang Chao looked at Steward Li and said.
Steward Li walked in trembling. He had heard in recent days that a distinguished guest had co to the auction house.
This distinguished guest was treated with such respect by the lofty Jiang Li; just what kind of noble status did he have?
It was his first ti eting such a distinguished person, so naturally, Steward Li was extrely nervous.
“This small one pays respects to Sir.” Steward Li quickly knelt on the ground to salute.
“No need to be so formal, speak, what has happened?” Jiang Chao asked.
Steward Li did not know how the higher-ups would handle this matter, so he didn’t dare to speak carelessly. He hesitated a bit with his words and said, “There’s a rather tricky issue below that needs to be handled by the director.”
“Oh? It requires my personal handling?” Jiang Li’s brow furrowed slightly. This was an occurrence he didn’t want to see.
Because with Jiang Chao here, if the tricky issue wasn’t handled well, it might displease Jiang Chao.
“Let’s go and have a look together.” Jiang Chao stood up.
Seeing Jiang Chao stand up, Jiang Li nodded and said, “Steward Li, lead the way.”
“Yes, please follow , Sir.”
Steward Li responded, and then led the way towards the VIP room on the second floor.
…
Inside the VIP room.
Lin Feng appeared calm.
Murong Xue, Song Ziliu, and others had expressions of worry and anxiety.
In their view, even if the auction house director ca, he would probably favor the people of Immortal Moon Mountain, right?.
Because Immortal Moon Mountain was so powerful.
And Ouyang Qian and others all had a continuous sneer, seemingly confident in confronting Lin Feng and the others.
