Chapter 196

The four of them sat down, forming a circle.

The Spirit's attention was mainly focused on Fern and Tenolais. Although he paid some attention to the unfamiliar face of Luze, he ultimately did not take it seriously.

After all, according to the latest news, this black businessman named Lu Ze was just lucky enough to take in the young master of Qinglin Corporation for a few days. He was probably attracted by the young master's status in Qinglin Corporation, so there is no need to be afraid of him.

Zhi Ling first poured them some tea, then said apologetically, "We're sorry about the misunderstanding."

"I beg Master Tenora Lewis's forgiveness."

The Ka Jin Trading Company has been standing in the black market for many years. Although the master and servant in front of them have hidden their identities, once it is known that they are from the giant Qinglin Corporation, it will be much easier to investigate their identities.

The core leaders of the Qinglin Giant Enterprise are all from the dragon clan, and among the several more active heirs of the actual controller of the Qinglin Giant Enterprise today, the one in front of him happens to be him.

Tenolais glanced at the tea handed to him, but did not take it.

As the youngest in the family, although he is spoiled and a little naive, he is not really stupid.

If I accept the cup of tea at this time, wouldn't it seem that I am too easy to deal with?

"I've suffered a lot these past few days, and Guild Spirit just dismissed me with just this one sentence?" Tenola Louis said sarcastically, crossing his arms across his chest.

"And Fern."

"If Fern hadn't been lucky, he would have been captured by your people and taken prisoner long ago."

"You guys at the Kajin Trading House are so disrespectful to us, this matter won't be let go so easily."

Tenolais snorted coldly and looked at Fern. "Not only that, you even accused us of dishonest transactions. This is simply a slander on the reputation of our Qinglin Corporation."

"Everyone knows that we at Qinglin Corporation are the most honest in our business dealings."

Giant interstellar corporations are very careful about their reputation, and the word "integrity" is engraved on them.

Zhiling: ...You talk as if giant corporations like you have never done such shameless things.

These interstellar giants are ethical and honest when doing business with others, but they are also some of the least rule-abiding.

——As long as the customers who do business with them disappear, no one can say that they are dishonest.

However, it is better to just think about this kind of thing in your mind. If you really say it out loud, it will be like poking someone in the face, which will only make the master and servant more angry.

I met with them today in the hope of resolving this unpleasant misunderstanding, not to make things worse.

Therefore, despite being given a bad attitude by Tenolais, the spirit still kept smiling.

After all, if it is not handled properly, his position as the president will be in jeopardy.

"Of course, we are aware of the seriousness of this matter."

"Master Tenola Louis, don't worry. We have prepared compensation. We just hope you will be satisfied."

Zhi Ling had a good plan. He made a big thing into a small thing and a small thing into nothing. He classified this matter as a small misunderstanding and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

If the reputation of the giant Qinglin Corporation is really involved, not only will the Ka Jin Trading House be unable to bear it, even the forces behind them will be in trouble.

The spirit handed Fern a list that he had prepared long ago.

"This is our sincere apology. We hope that Master Tenolais will not take the misunderstanding between us to heart."

Fern took it but didn't open it or give it to Tenora Louise.

The attitude of the Spirit of Heaven is now very clear. It has defined this matter as a misunderstanding between the Card Gold Trading Company and them. It is clear without even looking at it that this apology is a gesture of goodwill towards them.

The purpose is probably to hope that Master Tenola Louis will not report this matter after returning.

Fern's actions made the atmosphere present a little stagnant.

The spirit was guessing what Fern was thinking, knowing that the real battle was just beginning.

I heard that according to the internal system of the Qinglin giant enterprise, the deacons following the heirs usually serve as their assistants in managing assets, that is, their closest confidants.

The young master in front of me is too young, and based on the information I found, he is a playboy who loves to play.

I'm afraid that in this master-servant pair, Fern is the one who can truly call the shots.

The thought in Zhiling's mind was fleeting, and in reality only a dozen seconds had passed.

Fern spoke up, "President Zhiling must have already investigated who framed us. I wonder if he could tell me a thing or two."

"After all, our young master is very concerned about this."

Listening to their conversation, Lu Ze drank tea leisurely, as if he had nothing to do with this matter, let alone being the instigator.

Tenolais said, "Fern is right. If you have any news about this, please tell me as soon as possible. It might make me feel better."

Zhi Ling felt a familiar swelling and pain on his forehead. Here it came, the problem he least wanted to face.

"...We did investigate." He sighed, a hint of distress showing on his face, "But unfortunately, we haven't found out who is behind this."

If Tenolais hadn't contacted them through Luzer and was willing to pay the deposit, they might still be hunting them down.

Qinglin Corporation is a behemoth and they want to save face.

Is the Card Gold Trading Company no longer needed?

To gain a foothold in the black market, one needs not only fists but also prestige. This time, we were tricked and lost such a large batch of goods. I don’t know how many forces, openly and secretly, are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves.

So even though they knew it was not a good idea to let the guards arrest the master and servant, they had to do it anyway.

Fern frowned.

Before he could speak, Zhi Ling quickly said, "How about you two listen to my explanation of what happened first?"

Tenolais looked at Fern, and seeing that Fern had no objection, he quickly agreed.

"Go ahead."

From the time they were inexplicably chased to now sitting here, the whole thing was still a bit confusing to them and they had no idea what was going on.

Tenolais was actually quite curious about how this happened.

The story begins with the auction held at the Ka Jin Trading House a few days ago.

The Kajin Trading Company has been engaged in the slave trade for many years and naturally has a complete sales system.

There are not many auction houses that sell Tianjia slaves in the underground black market, and the Kajin Trading House is not the most famous one among them, but because they were the first to start selling, the annual market price is still very good.

But one thing is that they don't do small transactions.

In other words, the worst buyer who comes to Ka Jin Trading House is a wholesaler. Ka Jin Trading House will not cooperate with those small buyers and individual customers in transactions with the Tianjia tribe.

This time, the Kajin Trading House accepted the goods from the Ikal civilization as in previous years and was fully responsible for this transaction. As a middleman, they could take 10% of the transaction as commission.

The day before the sale.

A buyer claiming to be from Qinglin Giant Company approached them and said that he wanted to negotiate a big deal with them - they wanted to purchase all the goods related to the Zerg this time.

Since the market opens at the same time all year round, Kajin Trading House didn't think there was anything wrong.

Of course, they would not believe the other party's identity just by listening to one side of the other party.

However, after verification, they did not find any problems, so they would not push such a big customer away, so they discussed the price issue with the other party.

In the end, because the other party was straightforward, they gave them a preferential price in the hope of continuing cooperation next time.

The goods have always been stored at the port. Ka Jin Trading Company only has warehouse authorization, and they will grant the authorization after they confirm receipt of the payment.

"If nothing goes wrong, the transaction is complete at this point."

Once the money and goods are paid, there will naturally be no further complications.

"But what we didn't expect was that we didn't receive the subsequent final payment, and even there was a problem with the deposit." Zhi Ling said this, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Our system was hacked, and the deposit was directly transferred out."

"By the time we tried to trace it, the deposit had already been transferred in and out countless times, and there was no way to trace it back to its original source."

To sum it up in one sentence, not only did their Kajin Trading House lose the goods in this transaction, they also did not get a single star coin. In fact, because of the loss of this batch of goods, they even owed the Ikal civilization the payment for this time.

Tenolais complained: "Your trading house is really useless."

Zhiling had a heart attack, but couldn't say anything to refute it, because they were really useless in this matter.

"As soon as we discovered we had been scammed, we immediately thought about recovering the goods..."

Fern: "By that time, it will be too late for you to get it back. The other party will have already cleaned up and escaped."

"But I'm curious about how you found out about me and the young master."

The spirit said: "Because they come to negotiate with us in your name."

Otherwise they wouldn't have stumbled upon identity verification.

The identity was genuine, the money deposited into the account was real, so what could possibly go wrong? If it weren't for the trick at the end, this would have been a perfectly normal transaction.

Fern originally thought that it was the enemy he had provoked who deliberately put the blame on them, but now after hearing the whole story, why did he feel that they were injured by mistake?

The mastermind behind this isn't against them, but is against the Ka Jin Trading Company, right?

No matter how you look at it, the one who suffered the most in the whole thing was the Ka Jin Trading House... Of course, our side was not unaffected by the impact, but compared with Ka Jin's losses, it was nothing.

After all, even if he and the young master were caught by them in the end, they would probably not dare to do anything, but would go to negotiate with the giant corporations.

During this process, they will at most suffer some pain, but their lives will not be in danger.

"I think I need to change my perspective."

Fern said to Zhiling, "This matter is clearly your own fault. It seems the mastermind is targeting you. The involvement of the young master and I is truly an unprovoked disaster."

This spirit had the same doubt after figuring out what happened. Now facing Fern's questioning, he could only smile bitterly.

If you want to know who the other party wants to deal with, just look at who suffers the greatest loss in this matter.

“We discovered this as well.”

"Things happened too quickly at the time, one thing after another, and we couldn't think carefully, so we hastily issued a pursuit order."

"...We are truly extremely sorry for causing trouble for both of you."
