Chapter 1161: Chapter 1160: Appointing You as the Chief Steward of the Inner Palace! (4 more chapters)
After Chen Batian left, the middle-aged man eagerly presented the Iron Spirit Ganoderma to Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile and asked, “This Iron Spirit Ganoderma is quite valuable. Are you sure you want to give it to ?”
“Of course!” the middle-aged man earnestly replied, “Long Alliance has shone brilliantly at the alliance fair, leading a new alliance to achieve such feats. Alliance Master Ye is indeed a Son of Heaven.
To make the acquaintance of Alliance Master Ye, it wouldn’t matter if it’s just a Lingzhi; even if I had to exhaust my family’s resources, I wouldn’t hesitate.”
Hearing this, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but change his impression of the middle-aged man considerably.
This fellow is indeed a very shrewd person. As soon as he heard I was the Alliance Master of Long Alliance, he imdiately changed his attitude, probably seeing the potential of Long Alliance and wanting to invest while it hasn’t fully developed yet.
Although there is a certain risk, the investnt is small. Once it succeeds, the benefits could be extrely substantial.
Ye Haochuan initially thought the middle-aged man was just soone with little tricks, but now it seems he is clearly a very clever businessman.
Xiao Haii is also a very capable businesswoman, but compared to him, she is different yet. Xiao Haii’s success lies in her ability, vision, and boldness.
And this middle-aged man, while also possessing vision and boldness, additionally exhibits a determination to stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
In the current situation, whether speaking or acting, he makes people feel warm and amiable, easily gaining favorable impressions.
“In that case, it would be impolite for Yours Truly Ye to refuse!” Ye Haochuan accepted the Lingzhi and continued to ask, “May I ask Senior Brother for your na, and where are you presently working?”
The middle-aged man heard this and smiled knowingly. Ye Haochuan asking this is firstly to build rapport, and secondly, it indicates an intention to recruit him.
“My na is Shang Fu, currently doing so small business alone, nothing much to speak of, just barely making a living!”
Ye Haochuan faintly smiled, knowing that Shang Fu also possessed so cultivation, and this claim of barely making a living was clearly modest. Saying so, he was also agreeing to Ye Haochuan’s recruitnt.
Now, although Long Alliance is getting better, it is ultimately still newly established, with many things yet to be perfected, and it is at a ti when talent is lacking. Shang Fu has a special skill, which is exactly what Ye Haochuan needs.
“Our Long Alliance happens to lack a Vice Alliance Hierarch in charge of external affairs, but I wonder if Senior Brother Shang could deign to accept it?” Ye Haochuan sincerely proposed.
Upon hearing this, Shang Fu’s expression brightened and he imdiately replied, “Receiving such regard from Alliance Master Ye, how could I possibly consider myself worthy…”
Such polite declines, Ye Haochuan naturally didn’t take seriously, and convincing him once more, Shang Fu agreed decisively.
The so-called external affairs are dealings with other alliances. Since its establishnt, Long Alliance has been developing on its own, never having anyone specifically cultivate friendships with other alliances.
A lone hero needs three helpers, and a fence needs three stakes. For Long Alliance to develop well, forming alliances with so others is evidently necessary.
Imagine, if Long Alliance allied with one of the three major alliances, would smaller alliances dare to provoke Long Alliance?
Of course, given Shang Fu’s outstanding business acun, handling only so diplomatic matters is clearly underutilizing him. Therefore, Ye Haochuan plans to let Shang Fu establish a comrcial line for Long Alliance.
Exchange so of Long Alliance’s unneeded items for needed ones. Not only can this make full use of resources, but it can also increase Long Alliance’s inco.
Additionally, the reward and punishnt system should be improved. By rewarding those who have accomplished deeds with treasures from the warehouse, Long Alliance’s cohesion can be effectively increased.
Since the establishnt of Long Alliance, Ye Haochuan has always been a hands-off leader. Now thinking carefully, he realizes there are indeed many things to consider to run Long Alliance well.
After gaining two talents on this outing, Ye Haochuan was in high spirits and looked forward to the subsequent transactions to co.
The surrounding people were still a bit frenzied, but after Zhong Dingshan ca out to reprimand them, they all quieted down.
They still didn’t know that Zhong Dingshan had switched allegiances, thinking he was still in charge of Proud World Alliance, and intimidated by Proud World Alliance’s strong influence, they all complied.
At this mont, Zhu Wenjing off to the side murmured with slight dissatisfaction, “You scoundrel, I ask for a Vice Alliance Hierarch position and you refuse, yet you give this guy a Vice Alliance Hierarch position as soon as he cos. What do you an by this?”
“Well, the Vice Alliance Hierarch role is a heavy responsibility with many things to do. I did this to not restrict your freedom, right?” Ye Haochuan sheepishly explained.
“I’m bored out of my mind every day, and I just want to find sothing to do. I don’t care, I also want to be a Vice Alliance Hierarch!” Zhu Wenjing insisted relentlessly.
“Alright, since you’re so eager to be an official, I appoint you as the Chief Steward of the Inner Palace.” Ye Haochuan stated “seriously.”
“Okay, okay, what does a Chief Steward of the Inner Palace do? How high is the rank?” Zhu Wenjing eagerly asked.
“Well…” Ye Haochuan chuckled, “The Chief Steward of the Inner Palace in ancient tis served the Emperor, sowhat like today’s… secretary!”
“You… rotten Ye Haochuan, I’m not talking to you anymore!” Zhu Wenjing pouted imdiately, turning her head away.
Zhu Wenjing’s annoyed look was so adorable that Ye Haochuan almost couldn’t resist pinching her pouty little cheeks.
Just as Ye Haochuan was about to make a few teasing remarks, a strong voice suddenly sounded from the stage: “I have here an Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron, a Spirit Level Peak treasure…”
“Spirit Level… Peak?” A collective gasp went through the crowd.
Spirit Level Peak treasures have never appeared in the history of this trade fair.
The trade fair organized by Proud World Alliance, after all, is only for cultivators below Foundation Establishnt.
For cultivators at this level, even having a Spirit Level Mid-Stage treasure is remarkable, let alone a Spirit Level Peak treasure.
Those with Spirit Level Peak treasures guard them more closely than a spouse, so even clutching them to sleep, afraid of losing them accidentally.
No one expected such a high-level treasure to appear at such a low-level trade fair.
Ye Haochuan’s attention was also successfully drawn, not just because of the Spirit Level Peak treasure, but because it actually was a… cauldron!
Starting from the Postnatal Realm, Ye Haochuan had been using the Strange Fire King Cauldron and had beco very accustod to it.
Since the Strange Fire King Cauldron broke, Ye Haochuan hadn’t found a suitable defensive spiritual artifact, and he also needed a cauldron for alchemy.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon such a treasure while casually browsing a trade fair.
On the stage stood a lean middle-aged man. Although he was handso, his eyes were sunken and he looked listless.
His cultivation reached the Foundation Establishnt Peak, which was expected. To dare sell a Top-Grade Spirit Artifact, his strength naturally wouldn’t be weak.
Ye Haochuan was curious. At his level, he shouldn’t be lacking in Spirit Crystals. What did he intend to trade such a high-level treasure for?
