Mu Hanyan had planned this long ago. As the behind-the-scenes manager of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, she knew how profitable it would be if it was well-managed, and she certainly couldn't leave all the money to outsiders. Unfortunately, her priests had no experience in this area, and they couldn't find anyone else to help them right away, so they targeted Zhu Yulan.
This woman is a bit snobbish, but judging from her previous dealings with various chambers of commerce, she was very flexible and tactful, so she could be of use.
"Huayu City..." Zhu Yulan's eyes lit up. Not only could she realize her dream of becoming a priest, but she could also manage the industry for the chief priest. That was much better than having to beg for help from others for the livelihood of the Gu family. If such a good thing happened to her, she would probably wake up laughing in her dreams.
But after thinking about it carefully, she hesitated again. It was not because she looked down on the Flower Rain Temple, but because the journey was too long. As a female Taoist priest, she was running around everywhere. The old man would probably not let her go.
"I'll talk to Master Gu, you don't have to worry." Mu Hanyan saw what she was worried about and said.
If possible, she actually wanted to persuade the Gu family to move to Huayu City together. With the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, the Gu family's reputation would be restored in no time. If the Gu family agreed, as soon as they arrived in Huayu City, priest families from all over the country would come to the city. If they could use this momentum to build a chamber of commerce, it would be difficult for the business to fail.
However, Tianyang City is now hundreds or thousands of times more prosperous than Huayu City. The Gu family has been rooted in Tianyang City for generations. Persuading them to leave their hometown and go to Huayu City may seem like a scam. Mu Hanyan has not yet figured out how to put it.
"As long as the head of the family agrees, I will definitely serve the chief priest with all my strength." Zhu Yulan said. She really didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Soon, the group returned to the Gu family.
A group of well-dressed elderly men were walking out of the gate dejectedly, their faces filled with regret. In the courtyard, several elderly men were reluctant to leave, pleading with Gu Qingyang. They were none other than the Zhou, He, Xie, and other family heads whom he had met yesterday.
"There's nothing to say. Just go away and don't force me to get angry." Gu Qingyang said to them with a cold face.
"Master Gu, we were wrong. Please give us another chance?" Master Xie knelt on the ground and begged bitterly. The other two also knelt on the ground.
"Now I know I was wrong. Have you forgotten what you said yesterday? I wanted to save your face, but since you have no shame, don't blame me. Back then, your three families were struggling and on the verge of extinction. Who helped you? But how did you treat me? How did you treat my Gu family?
You've turned your back on me, and now you expect me, Gu Qingyang, to let bygones be bygones. Do you really think I'm old and muddleheaded? Get out! Get out!" Gu Qingyang kicked the Zhou family head to the ground and ordered the guards nearby, "Send him out."
"Dear family heads, please come in." A group of guards surrounded them, and when they mentioned the family heads, their eyes were full of contempt.
Knowing that Gu Qingyang was determined and would never give them any more chances, they could only get up and leave. Before leaving, they looked at Gu Qingyang with the last bit of hope, their eyes full of regret.
They knew that with the Phoenix Nirvana Pill that Gu Qingyang had shown them earlier, the Gu family would soon get out of the predicament and restore their former glory. Not to mention the priest families with profound backgrounds in the Twelve Temples, even people from the Temple of Life would come to them for help. By then, the Gu family wouldn't have to take any action at all, as those families would suppress the three of them so that they would never have a chance to make a comeback.
As for the Long family, whom they had previously thought they had a strong support, how could they possibly offend others because of their small families? They might even come to them for help.
Unfortunately, it is too late to regret now. It was their fault for betraying their loyalty and repaying kindness with enmity. This is retribution.
Seeing several people being "invited" out of Gu's house, Gu Qingyang finally laughed out loud. The depression that had been accumulated for many years was swept away at this moment, and he looked much younger.
"Congratulations, Master Gu." Mu Hanyan stepped forward and said to Gu Qingyang.
Just by looking at what happened just now, she guessed what was going on. Seeing that the Gu family finally got their revenge, she was happy for them.
"It's all thanks to the help of the chief priest. If it weren't for your help, my Gu family would never have a chance to turn things around." Gu Qingyang bowed deeply to Mu Hanyan and said.
"Master Gu, you are too formal. Yuhe and I are as close as sisters. The Gu family's affairs are my affairs. Old man, please don't be polite to me in the future. I can't bear it." Mu Hanyan hurriedly helped Gu Qingyang up.
"That being said, I still have to thank the people I should thank, otherwise I would feel bad." Gu Qingyang said with a smile.
"By the way, Master Gu, there is something I want to discuss with you." Mu Hanyan didn't want to get entangled in red tape, so she changed the subject and took the opportunity to mention the move to Huayu City.
As she spoke, Gu Qingyang also said, "By the way, Master Priest, there is something I want to discuss with you."
After saying that, both of them were stunned, then looked at each other and laughed.
"Master Gu, you speak first." Mu Hanyan said.
"This is what happened. After all these years of ups and downs, I've seen through the fickleness of the world. I don't want to stay in Tianyang City anymore and want to move my entire family to Huayu City. Patriarch Tang and Patriarch Feng also have this intention. I wonder if the Chief Priest can take us in?" Gu Qingyang said.
Mu Hanyan looked at Gu Qingyang in a daze. This was what she wanted to talk about, but who knew that Gu Qingyang would bring it up himself. So she didn't have to rack her brains to think about how to word it.
"What's wrong? Is there any inconvenience? Then just pretend I never mentioned it." Gu Qingyang said with some disappointment.
"No, no, Master Gu misunderstood. This is what I wanted to talk about, but I didn't know how to start. I didn't expect that Master Gu also had the same intention." Mu Hanyan said quickly.
"That means the High Priest agrees?" Gu Qingyang asked.
"I can't even ask for such a good thing, so of course I agree a thousand times." Mu Hanyan said with a happy smile.
"Thank you, Master Priest. I will go and inform the heads of the Tang and Feng families right away to make them happy too." Gu Qingyang said as he quickly walked towards the backyard.
Mu Hanyan looked at Gu Qingyang's hurried back, her heart filled with gratitude and emotion. In fact, she should be the one to thank him. Considering the current situation in Huayu City, the willingness of the Gu family and the Tang and Feng families to relocate their entire families was a great help to her. The head of the Gu family obviously wanted to return the favor, but he was afraid that she would lose face, so he said it in a more tactful way.
Beside her, Zhu Yulan had a look of joy on her face. She had not expected that the head of the family would take the initiative to propose moving to Huayu City, which made her worry for nothing.
