1559: Chapter 1556: An Assessnt!
Hearing Yue Zheng ntion an assessnt for Yue Qing, all the high-level executives were taken aback.
Lin Bai and Lu Ao, among others, all wore smiles on their faces.
They had known all along that Yue Zheng would not give up easily.
Even with Lin Bai, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerable present, Yue Zheng might appear to obey on the surface but would never willingly give up at heart.
Yue Qing curiously asked, “What assessnt?”
Yue Zheng took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Niece Yue Qing, your uncle doesn’t want to make things difficult for you.
Right now, Haizhen City is gathering scions from all the great families and clans across the Lingnan Continent to attend the Divine Weapon Feast!”
“And every Divine Weapon Feast is a pri ti for us Eight Major Business Associations to sell large amounts of Divine Iron and Cultivation Resources.”
“I have also been preparing for it before you returned.”
“There are two parts to the Divine Weapon Feast, one is the Divine Iron Ranking and the other is the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking.”
“Now, the Divine Iron Ranking will be re-announced in half a month, and the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking will be re-announced in one month.”
“One month later, after the new rankings of the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking are announced, the Divine Weapon Feast will be considered over.”
“There is one month’s ti.
If Niece Yue Qing can help our Silver Moon Comrce Association’s Divine Iron and sales volu exceed twice that of previous years within this month, then I will agree to support your position as Chairman and will have no further complaints.”
Yue Zheng spoke indifferently.
“Twice that of previous Divine Weapon Feasts?”
“This…”
Hearing Yue Zheng’s words, many of the high-level Elders were surprised in turn.
“If Miss Yue Qing can indeed make this year’s Divine Weapon Feast sales exceed twice that of previous years, I too would wholeheartedly support her becoming the new Chairman,” said a high-level executive who initially supported Yue Zheng, now speaking coldly.
Although Lin Bai did not understand what exceeding the previous years by twice entailed, seeing the dramatic change in the high-level executives’ expressions, he believed it was not going to be an easy assessnt.
Lin Bai was about to ask Yue Qing about it.
But he heard Yue Qing directly saying, “I accept!”
Upon hearing Yue Qing’s acceptance, Yue Zheng imdiately said, “Since Niece Yue Qing has accepted, let’s start now.
You have a month.
If you can make this year’s sales exceed twice that of previous years, then I will bow down to your leadership!”
“I believe the other high-level Elders will have no objections to you becoming the new Chairman if they see this year’s sales indeed reaching twice that of past years.”
“What do you high-level executives think?” Yue Zheng asked.
“If this year’s sales are twice that of previous years, I am willing to support Miss Yue Qing.”
“That’s right, I share the sa thought.”
“Vice Chairman Yue Zheng’s proposal seems good to , I agree,” said another high-level executive.
Many high-level executives spoke up one after another, and soon the entire Great Hall reached a consensus!
Yue Qing said, “Then since the high-level executives have no objections, let’s agree on that.”
“Uncle, please inform about the location of my father’s ice coffin.
I want to lay my father to rest.”
Yue Qing spoke calmly.
Yue Zheng replied, “It can be done!”
Lin Bai, hearing that Yue Qing had reached a consensus with the high-level executives of the Silver Moon Comrce Association, did not interject any further.
Lin Bai and Yue Qing had co pretending to be husband and wife primarily to gain ti for Yue Qing to persuade the high-level executives of the Silver Moon Comrce Association.
Now that the goal had been achieved, Lin Bai’s task was also considered complete.
Afterwards, the eting in the Conference Hall ca to an end.
The remaining high-level executives rose and left one by one.
Yue Zheng then approached with a smile and said, “Junior Sword Master, I apologize for any rudeness earlier, please forgive .
Additionally, your two friends will be treated as the most honored guests by the Silver Moon Comrce Association.”
Yue Zheng arranged for the maids to take Lu Ao and Fang Jin down to rest.
“Princess Silver Frost, the Royal Family of the Linhai Dynasty already has a special residence within the Silver Moon Comrce Association.
You can go and rest there now.” Yue Zheng said with a light chuckle.
Princess Silver Frost replied indignantly, “I am aware.”
Yue Zheng glanced at Yue Qing and Lin Bai, and said with a light laugh, “In that case, I shall take my leave first.”
At this mont, Princess Silver Frost suddenly asked, “You haven’t arranged a place for Young Sword Master Dongfang to stay, have you?”
Yue Zheng was startled and looked at Lin Bai and Yue Qing with a strange expression, saying, “Isn’t Young Sword Master Dongfang said to be my niece’s husband?
They should naturally stay together.
Why would there be a need to arrange a separate room?”
“Niece Yue Qing, the room for you has already been cleaned and prepared by your second uncle, and you can rest there whenever you like.”
“As for Young Sword Master Dongfang, if you find it inconvenient to share a room with my niece Yue Qing, then I can get you…”
Yue Zheng said with a smile.
Before Yue Zheng could finish his sentence, Yue Qing interrupted, “No need, Bai Lang and I will stay together.”
“Thank you, Second Uncle, for making all the arrangents.
Additionally, please send all the ledgers and Divine Iron reserve books of the Silver Moon Comrce Association tomorrow.”
Yue Qing spoke indifferently.
“Sure,” Yue Zheng said with a slight smile.
Yue Qing gave a faint smile, “Bai Lang, let’s go rest first.”
Lin Bai nodded slightly and followed Yue Qing.
Princess Silver Frost, with an unfriendly face, glared at Lin Bai’s leaving figure, the murderous intent in her eyes growing stronger.
Yue Qing herself was the heiress to the Silver Moon Comrce Association and had her own unique residence within it.
Now, Lin Bai followed Yue Qing to a delicately arranged small courtyard that had been cleaned spotless.
It was surrounded by the shade of trees, and the courtyard was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers—a truly pleasant place.
“I didn’t expect you to be so good at picking locations,” said Lin Bai as he entered the courtyard, chuckling lightly.
However, a swift and somber shade of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Yue Qing replied with a light laugh, “This place was chosen by my father.”
“Bai Lang, what’s the matter?”
Noticing the sadness on Lin Bai’s face, Yue Qing asked curiously.
Lin Bai shook his head slightly and said, “Looking at this small courtyard of yours reminds of a close friend who often said: ‘This truly is a good place.'”
With a light laugh, Yue Qing said, “A close friend of the Junior Sword Venerate must be no ordinary individual.
Where is he now?
If there’s a chance, can you introduce ?”
“He is dead,” Lin Bai said with his gaze turning heavy, speaking faintly.
Startled by his words, Yue Qing imdiately responded, “I’m sorry!
Have you avenged him?”
Lin Bai laughed lightly, “Pretty much, though there’s still one enemy at large.
But there’s no need to rush, that person will eventually die by my hand.”
“Being targeted by the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master, that person probably has nowhere to hide,” said Yue Qing.
“Haha, let’s not talk about this anymore.
Now, you have obtained ti, at least for this month, Yue Zheng will not act against you,” Lin Bai said.
“You have plenty of ti now for what you need to do, and I have already helped you with all your affairs.”
“From here on, it relies on your own skills,” he added.
Yue Qing affird solemnly, “Don’t worry, I have so confidence.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have so readily accepted Yue Zheng’s challenge.”
Lin Bai then said, “Since that’s the case, you should get busy.”
“Alright then, Bai Lang, this is my residence, quite secluded within the Silver Moon Comrce Association.
Rest well here, and generally, others won’t co to disturb you!” Yue Qing said.
“I am going to get my father’s body back from my second uncle, to arrange for the burial.”
Yue Qing said.
