Everyone agreed, then Li Banfeng had to talk to Ma Wu about so matters alone, mainly about business.
In other places, there’s no need to say more, Ma Wu can manage things in an orderly manner, the only problem lies at Bridge Yesong.
Every ti he arrived at Bridge Yesong, Ma Wu would wear the word "disdain" on his face.
It’s not Ma Wu’s fault, Bridge Yesong indeed attracts disdain. Every shop there is a century-old establishnt, when you ask a rchant, their ancestors have been trading in this business.
In a place like Bridge Yesong, you can’t see even a hint of freshness. It’s always the sa goods, always the sa prices. Doing business here, one could calculate the profits for the next hundred years. In such a place, Ma Wu surely feels disgusted.
Yet Li Banfeng still wants Ma Wu to do well in business at Bridge Yesong.
Ma Wu felt helpless: "Old Qi, the business in Qi Qiu City is getting impressive, the business at Loess Bridge is also gradually picking up. If I focus on these places, at least I can see changes. Why do you insist on making care about Bridge Yesong? What sense does it make?"
How to make sense of this?
I’m already Above the Clouds, I need human energy, you must help manage Bridge Yesong?
This matter can’t be directly explained, Li Qi’s justification was: "I’ve looked at the feng shui, the market at Bridge Yesong is about to boom, such a good opportunity can’t be missed."
Ma Wu agreed to it, as long as it’s sothing Li Qi instructed, he would definitely do.
Li Banfeng explained so trivial matters, and when the Portable Residence finished repairing the station, Li Banfeng went to Fool’s City.
So businesses can be handed over to Ma Wu, but so still need to be handled personally. Li Banfeng gave ten thousand Ocean Dollars to Tang Changfa: "While I’m away, live well, don’t let everyone suffer."
Tang Changfa didn’t understand Li Banfeng’s intention, Yan Qing’er cautiously asked: "Shopkeeper, are you abandoning us?"
"What kind of talk is that! I’m just going on a long trip, I’ll be back after a few days. Where’s our City Lord?"
Yan Hong’er said: "The City Lord has brought back two assistants from outside, one called Ah Gui, the other called Ah Huang. They’ve been frequently going out to handle things recently, but we’re not clear on the specifics."
Li Banfeng had t Ah Gui, but what’s Ah Huang’s origin?
Judging by the na, doesn’t seem like any important figure.
Leaving Fool’s City, Li Banfeng went to Iron Gate Fort. Despite Luo Zhengnan leaving spies here, Li Banfeng still couldn’t relax about this group of Ho Cultivators.
Upon seeing the Fortress Lord, Wu Yongchao spoke excitedly about the recent battle: "Fortress Lord, that person nad Chen Weixin was driven away, it was you who took action, right?"
Li Banfeng smiled silently, checked the accounts, left so money for the fort, and called Luo Zhengnan, asking him to keep a close watch.
Luo Zhengnan was still looking for Hidden Form Space at Bridge Yesong, upon hearing Li Banfeng ntion Iron Gate Fort, Luo Zhengnan was very confident: "You don’t need to worry about Iron Gate Fort, it’s hard to say about other places, but you surely don’t need to worry about this place!"
Li Banfeng didn’t understand Luo Zhengnan’s aning, Luo Zhengnan said: "So matters can’t be discussed over the phone with you, for fear it might be overheard. Once you’re in Outside Provinces, I’ll co to see you, then you’ll understand."
Leaving Iron Gate Fort, Li Banfeng went to dicine King Valley. Qiu’s Pharmacy has opened two branches, and the business is growing ever bigger.
Qiu Zhiheng had just recently visited Elder Yao’s residence: "Old Xu has found a high-level Alcohol Cultivator, who is treating Elder Yao, I estimate Elder Yao might wake up,
Brother, since you’re going to Outside Provinces, I have a friend to introduce you to."
Qiu Zhiheng wrote a letter, handed it to Li Banfeng: "This friend engages in black market business, there are quite a few Cultivators in Outside Provinces, but most of their identities aren’t public, the ones who deal with them the most are these black market rchants,
This person is familiar with , seems decent in nature, might be useful in the future."
The Lu Family’s business in Outside Provinces was all handled by Qiu Zhiheng back then, so his connections are naturally very reliable.
Leaving dicine King Valley, Li Banfeng went to Qi Qiu City, went to Black Stone Slope, went to Loess Bridge, explaining what needed to be explained, and the ten-day mark arrived.
The night before departing, Ma Wu hosted a farewell banquet at Xiaoyao Lodge for Li Banfeng, he asked Jiang ngting to sing. Jiang ngting kept tearing up, unable to sing.
Li Banfeng frowned and said: "Why are you crying? I’m not leaving forever."
Jiang ngting wiped her tears and said: "Seventh Master, can you take along?"
Li Banfeng said: "Our Singing Empress from Puluo State, can’t simply go to Outside Provinces? Let go out and prepare a bit, set up a tour performance, then you’ll have a chance to take the stage."
Jiang ngting didn’t know what a tour performance was, but the tears still couldn’t stop falling.
Li Banfeng reassured her: "No more crying, sing a song for !"
Jiang ngting composed herself for a long while, placed the record on the phonograph, and sang that song, "When Will You Return."
"Good flowers don’t bloom long, good scenes don’t last, sorrows pile upon smiling brows, tears sprinkle fervent longing. After tonight’s departure, when will you return..."
Jiang ngting’s voice was so beautiful, apart from his wife, Li Banfeng believed no one sang better than her, not even ng De.
Li Banfeng lit a cigarette, continuously applauding and cheering for Jiang ngting, hearing Li Qi’s voice, Jiang ngting sang with more passion, when the song ended, she looked towards the seats, but couldn’t find Li Qi’s figure.
There was still half a glass of wine in the cup, and a half-cigarette placed beside it, Jiang ngting sat at Li Qi’s seat waiting for a long ti, unable to wait for Li Qi’s return.
Where did Li Qi go?
Ma Wu didn’t know either.
At Greenwater City Railway Station, Li Qi had already reached the platform.
