I discovered that there were duplicate chapters in Chapter 320 - Uncle Zhong, and I can't delete or modify them. I'm feeling really down. I'm adding another chapter today to express my apologies.
…
After Pang Jie and Chu Qing reached a consensus on cooperation, they began further consultations and then decided to find another person to serve as a puppet.
Chu Qing had to choose this person. Since she had long considered collaborating, she naturally had someone in mind. However, Pang Jie, out of caution, asked Chu Qing to call the person over so he could meet them. Chu Qing also understood that this was a taboo, and that any decision needed to be made with caution.
In order to reach a cooperation, Chu Qing immediately said: "I will contact him right away."
…
Chen Mo spent the entire afternoon in the restaurant, enjoying a drink or some pastries, enjoying his rare leisure time. It was like a day off for himself.
"I'm about to complete the mission. I wonder what the next mission is? Is it still the demon-slaying mission?"
"Huh? Why is he here? Is this rare vacation going to end early?"
…
"Is this person reliable? How do you know him?" Before the other party came, Pang Jie first asked Chu Qing for information about the other party. This was also the meaning of the question. Chu Qing was very cooperative and told him everything he knew.
"This man's surname is Li, his name is Mi. He was the former deputy director of our factory, and he was from my father's generation. He was born into a family of servants, but later, because of his talent, he was able to regain his freedom. Later, in his fifties or sixties, he retired from the factory due to his age."
What follows is a bit of a legend. "But surprisingly, he was a restless person, so he set up a family workshop at home. Surprisingly, it did quite well, and within 20 years, his products had become very famous. However, due to financial constraints, he never expanded into a factory."
Chu Qing thought about the ups and downs of human relationships during this period and sighed, "After hearing about our family's troubles some time ago, he didn't break off relations with us. Instead, he was very helpful to us. He's a kind and honest elder."
"It's an old man?! How old is he?"
"Seventy-eight."
"Ordinary people?"
"Well, an ordinary person. I haven't practiced the way of the hegemon."
"Hiss—this is truly a long-lived and blessed person!"
"Yes! I heard that he was ill last week and nearly died, but he managed to pull through. After he recovered, he immediately visited me and treated me with great respect."
Pang Jie exclaimed: "What a loyal servant!"
Speaking of loyal servants, I can't help but think of Liu Zhong, the "loyal uncle" of Liujiabao. He was my mortal enemy in the past, but he was respected by everyone. He was loyal to the Liu family all his life and finally died for his master to show his loyalty!
Unexpectedly, the Chu family also had such a loyal servant!
Only in times of adversity can one reveal true friendship! Look at Chu Qing. After the disaster, 80% of the Chu family, including relatives and servants, fled. Friends broke off ties, and cooperation ended. The once wealthy Chu family fell into decline in an instant, going bankrupt and their livelihood was in jeopardy.
I was the same, fleeing overnight. There were only a dozen or so people willing to leave the vast Pang Mansion with me. Fortunately, I was kind and quick to seize opportunities. Besides, I was a sea merchant, so I could sail away. The world is vast, and a boat is home!
But no one expected that Liu Zhong would die for his master!
Half an hour later, Li Mi walked in. Although he was old and had recently suffered a serious illness, he looked very energetic and in good health. Judging from his appearance, he would have no problem living for another ten years.
"Uncle Li, this is Lin Jie, my partner. I have an idea. The three of us can work together. You own 10% and be responsible for production, I own 40% and am responsible for investment and operations, and Lin Jie owns 50% and is responsible for investment and sales. How do you think?"
"Whatever Master Qing says is what I have no objection to."
"Okay, but you know my family's situation. I invested the land, the factory, and the equipment. Lin Jie invested the cash. You're responsible for finding someone to resume production. At the same time, as the factory director, you'll also be responsible for publicly announcing that the factory is yours."
"I understand. It's not convenient for the master to show up right now. I understand."
"Yes. The profits will be distributed according to the same ratio as before. Is that okay?"
"no problem."
"Uncle Li, I'm really sorry to bother you."
"Haha, no trouble, no trouble, as long as I can help Master Qing!"
Then he talked about some details in detail and Li Mi took his leave.
Looking at Li Mi's back, Pang Jie sighed again: "What a loyal servant! Even though he left his master's family, he still chose to trust and help them when they were in trouble. What a loyal servant!"
"Yes! I didn't expect that! This is my father's legacy, protecting me!"
"Family legacy?" Pang Jie felt envious.
"boom--"
"There's a fight outside! There's a demon! It's the demon slayers fighting the demons!" shouted a diner near the east window of the second-floor restaurant.
"Where is it? What does a demon look like? What does a demon slayer look like?" A white-browed young man rushed to the window and asked excitedly.
The young man wearing glasses who had also come to join in the fun was well-informed. He replied, "The devil is a monster. The devil slayer has the secret art of transformation. No one knows his original appearance."
"This is the devil, so ugly! The devil slayer looks like an ordinary person!" said the young man with white eyebrows.
