5861 Wei Jiadings background

When the waiter saw Lin Yi and Shangguan LAN er, he immediately greeted them with a big smile and saluted respectfully,Vice-President Lin, miss Shangguan, long time no see. Are you here to see manager Hong?

Lin Yi thought the guy looked familiar-hed probably known him before, so he knew who he was.

Is manager Hong in? If youre here, please inform us. Lin Yi smiled gently at the guy.

Youre too kind, Vice-President Lin. Manager Hong is just upstairs. He told us that if you come, you can go to him directly without any notice. The shop a.s.sistant turned his body and respectfully invited them upstairs.

Thank you, Lin Yi nodded.

Shangguan LAN er giggled.Youre the most respected one, little brother. I dont get this kind of treatment if I come here. I can only see manager Hong after reporting to him.

If youre an honorary Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, youll have this privilege too, Lin Yi smiled faintly.

That being said, Lin Yi knew that this wasnt the case. Hong Zhong valued him because of their friends.h.i.+p, not because he was an honorary Vice President. Otherwise, even if there was a Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong wouldve ignored him.

Hahahaha, miss Shangguan, youre a rare guest. In the future, just come to me and see who dares to stop you! Hong Zhong appeared at the top of the stairs, probably knowing that Lin Yi was here and coming out to welcome him.

Brother Hong, long time no see. Youre still as elegant as ever! Lin Yi greeted with a fist salute.

Hong Zhong came up and pulled Lin Yis arm,You know that we havent seen each other for a long time. Tell me, how should I punish you?

Is there a punishment? Then Ill have to eat and live at your place every day from now on. Lin Yi said with a smile. He and Hong Zhong had only gotten along because of benefits, but slowly, they became true friends, especially after the auction on the northernmost Island. Their relations.h.i.+p had improved rapidly, and they were now close friends.

Hahahaha, thats for the best. I cant even invite you. As long as youre willing to stay here, I can even give you the entire Hong Chamber of Commerce on the North Island. Hong Zhong laughed heartily, and then made a gesture to Shangguan LAN er. She was indeed the shopkeeper of the North Island of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. There was no room for criticism in her treatment of people.

Lin Yi and Hong Zhong walked into the guest room, chatting and laughing. Naturally, someone brought them spiritual tea and spiritual fruits. Shangguan LAN er didnt stand on ceremony and casually picked up a spiritual fruit and started eating it. She knew that Lin Yi had something to say to Hong Zhong, so she could only be a quiet foodie on the side.

After some small talk, Lin Yi asked,Brother Hong, are there also factions in the Hong Chamber of Commerce?

Why do you ask, little brother Lin? Hong Zhong asked, slightly startled. Did someone from the Hong Chamber of Commerce make things difficult for you? Tell this big brother, Ill definitely get justice for you.

Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled,its not that serious. Its just that Im going to the northernmost Island for an auction. Theres a Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the middle Island called Wei Jiading. When I got on the boat, I thought that we were still part of the Chamber of Commerce, so I went to say h.e.l.lo, but he didnt want to talk to me. At that time, I was still worried that something had happened to you, brother Hong, causing me to lose my backing in the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

Hahahaha, how can I be considered your backer? with your ability, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that youre my backer! After Hong Zhong cracked a joke, he slowly became serious.Where there are people, there will be Jianghu. Naturally, there will be a lot of power struggles in the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Although Im a member of the Hong family, Im not a direct descendant. Moreover, the eldest branch of the Hong family that I support is not strong enough, so its more difficult to enter the core.

Lin Yi remembered that Hong Zhong came to the North Island as the Vice-President of the central headquarters, and he was right about that.

That Wei Jiading is also the Vice President, but hes not on the same side as me. Hes a die-hard supporter of the Hong familys second branch and has never had any relations.h.i.+p with me. Moreover, hes Wei Zhaotongs uncle. Say, if you go and greet him, do you think hell be nice to you? Hong Zhong shook his head with a bitter smile. Wei Zhaotong was the helper he recommended to Lin Yi before, but he almost killed Lin Yi. It was a bit embarra.s.sing.

Lin Yi didnt mind and shrugged,So thats how it is. But let him be, as long as he doesnt come and provoke me. By the way, brother Hong, didnt you prepare anything for the auction on the northernmost Island?

Im still going, but Im going with the Nakajima district headquarters, so I wont be bringing anything. Theres nothing good in the North Island, so I might not even be qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the auction. Im mainly going there to buy some good stuff as the treasure of the shop. Hong Zhong laughed at himself. The auction last time was the stage for the North Island branch to show off their skills. This time, the main character could only be the central island branch. Of course, if someone from the East Island branch went there, there might be some good things.

After a slight pause, Hong Zhong still reminded,Brother Lin, dont look down on Wei Jia Ding too much. This person is narrow-minded and will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I think he will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge for Wei Zhaotong. Even if youre not afraid of him, you still have to be on guard against him.

Lin Yi didnt really mind what that guy said, but he still had to listen to Hong Zhongs kind reminder.

I know what to do. Dont worry, brother Hong. Lin Yi smiled and nodded.This time, I can go to the northernmost Island with you again. We can have a good chat on the way.

Hong Zhong didnt say anything more about what happened to vejia, but smiled and said,Thats right. Fortunately, I decided to go with the fleet. If I had ridden an aerial spirit beast, I would have missed this opportunity!

Lin Yi suddenly remembered that Wei shenjin and Shang Yuhua might come over to ask about the Yang extreme gra.s.s,Brother Hong, do you have any yang extreme gra.s.s here? I have a friend who needs it, so I dont know if Ive been to your place.

Ive never seen your friend before, but the Yang extreme gra.s.s is a very rare and precious spirit gra.s.s. If I had it here, I could directly auction it off on the northernmost Island. Id say it could be sold for at least one million or eight hundred thousand spirit Jade. Hong Zhong knew a thing or two about the Yang extreme gra.s.s, but the price he mentioned surprised Lin Yi.

Brother Hong, youre saying that yang extreme gra.s.s can be sold for 1.8 million on the northernmost Island? Hed thought that the Yangji gra.s.s was about the same as the yin core fruit back on the ancient s.h.i.+p, at most thirty to fifty thousand spirit Jade. That wasnt the case at all.
