Intelligence is a very important matter too.
Li Changqing was truly surprised by Bai Jingfei’s talent in this area.
"Well done." Li Changqing said to Bai Jingfei, "Do a good job with the intelligence network. When our Evergreen Comrce Association grows, intelligence will be indispensable. I originally planned to set this up later, but you’ve already got it going. You’ve done exceptionally well."
Hearing such praise from Li Changqing, Bai Jingfei was grinning so widely it almost twisted his mouth.
Zhao Yiqiu and Yan Botao’s expressions, however, darkened.
Well, you old rascal.
Acting all simple-minded in front of us while doing this behind our backs, secretly making a move on us, huh?
The two of them had never been praised by Li Changqing like this.
"Thank you for the encouragent, sir. I’ll be sure to do a good job in intelligence, leaving the Evergreen Comrce Association with no worries." Bai Jingfei hurriedly responded.
"Good, from now on, the Evergreen Comrce Association will allocate a special fund for you to conduct intelligence work." Li Changqing nodded, "But your cultivation level is a bit lacking for intelligence work. I’ll help you improve it after a while. Also, you need to recruit so talent in intelligence work, to help our intelligence network grow stronger sooner."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yiqiu’s expression changed dramatically!
Has Bai Jingfei gotten ahead?
"Thank you very much, sir. I won’t let you down!" Bai Jingfei was even happier, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.
Will he beco Innate?
Bai Jingfei dreams of becoming Innate. Although the three of them get along well now, he and Zhao Yiqiu always feel sowhat inferior to Yan Botao.
Yan Botao is already a genuine Innate Powerhouse, a world apart from their Postnatal Realm.
Now this gap is really about to close!
Heh heh, heh heh.
Bai Jingfei’s grin was so wide it couldn’t close, and the gaze he directed at Yan Botao no longer carried that pressure. Turning to look at Zhao Yiqiu, he noticed Zhao Yiqiu’s face was as dark as a pot’s bottom, his eyes carrying a hint of resentnt.
Everyone was doing just fine being weak, what are you doing?
"Ahem, ahem." Bai Jingfei said, "Sir, there’s another important piece of information recently."
"Let’s hear it." Li Changqing was curious.
"Actually, this information doesn’t really concern us, just sothing interesting to share with everyone." Bai Jingfei said with a smile, "A few days ago, Xue Qianbai, Vice Sect Leader of the Dao Mountain in Minghong State, had an extraordinary battle with Zhao Beiming, the Grand General of Beihan Country."
"Uh." Li Changqing thought to himself, I was there at the scene then.
"But that’s not the main point. The main point is that a mysterious person appeared at this ti, wearing a mask and dressed in black. He was controlling seven swords alone, these seven swords were the Divine Weapons of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect, forming the Seven Kills Cyan Lotus Sword Array, defeating Zhao Beiming!"
"It caused a huge commotion in Beihan Country. This person is said to be nad Li Taibai, claiming the title of Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, possibly a long-lost elder of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect returning. Zhao Beiming was beaten so badly by this Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable that he had to flee in panic."
"At that mont, Emperor Yin Fengqi of Beihan Country led many experts to join forces in a massive battle against Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, only to be countered as Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, with his seven swords, fought through them repeatedly..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Li Changqing quickly interrupted.
Bai Jingfei was chattering endlessly, and Zhao Yiqiu and Yan Botao were listening intently, only to be stopped by Li Changqing.
"You can gather intelligence, but at least make sure it’s accurate, alright? What kind of ss is this?" Li Changqing said, exasperated.
What’s all this about a massive battle with many experts from Beihan Country, fighting back and forth?
Where did that co from?
In reality, Zhao Beiming was just getting off work at the end of his shift, going ho to shop for groceries and cook for his wife.
How does that equate to fleeing in panic?
"Yes, I’ll make sure to verify the authenticity of the intelligence properly." Bai Jingfei quickly responded.
"And also, you should cut down on listening to those random stories at Shiyan Studio." Li Changqing said helplessly.
"Huh?" Bai Jingfei’s face fell, he indeed enjoyed going to Shiyan Studio to listen to the tales told there.
In the end, the whole epic showdown with Yin Fengqi, fighting back and forth, was sothing Bai Jingfei made up, mainly influenced by the story "Spear Immortal Zhao Zilong, Storms the White Bone Demon with Fury", which he recently listened to.
"Alright, let’s get back to business."
Li Changqing looked at the three and said, "Our Evergreen Comrce Association is doing well now in terms of developnt, so I think we can take another step forward."
"Another step forward?" Zhao Yiqiu frowned at this, saying, "Sir, do you an to prepare for the Evergreen Comrce Association to venture into other cities’ markets? It’s certainly doable, but I’m afraid there will be resistance if we rush in. Although we have the Hai family’s land deeds, breaking into the market in a short ti will be sowhat troubleso."
"Opening one branch might be possible, but if there are too many, our supply will remain unstable, especially with pre-made dishes. We may struggle to produce a large quantity in a short ti, and finding new chefs also requires ti for observation since our pre-made dish recipes are top secret and cannot be exposed easily."
Zhao Yiqiu saw many obstacles in this matter.
"Not in Minghong State."
Li Changqing looked at them, "We won’t expand the market in Minghong State for now. Our goal is to open markets in other places, such as Zhanzhou or Beihan Country, even the Corridor Lands. We need to expand our market there and make the na of the Evergreen Comrce Association known."
