Chapter 373 Negotiation
The nightclub was empty, with only dim lights and deafening music.
Lin Wen followed them through the main venue and came to a luxurious private room, where he finally met the real person of this trip.
The head of the negotiation team, Zhou Weijing.
He trotted over, grasped Lin Wen's hand, and said with a chuckle, "Chief Lin, I've heard a lot about you." Behind him, there was a long row of people waiting with smiles on their faces, and everyone had a flattering smile on their face.
The foul smell of the world of fame and fortune hit Lin Wen in the face, and he felt like he couldn't breathe. He immediately opened his seven-orifice mind, and his mind shrank into the depths of his soul, concentrating on cultivating immortality, magic, and fighting, and only a small amount of his attention was used to ensure that he could keep up with their movements.
Then, the representatives behind saw this scene: County Governor Lin, who had previously had an unreasonable and stubborn image, became amiable, lively, charming, and versatile, even smoother than a veteran who had been in the business for thirty years.
Everyone thought to themselves, "He's really just pretending. This ability to change his expression and attitude according to the situation is something that only ordinary people can achieve."
Zhou Weijing, the person in charge of this trip, thought to himself, "Which idiot told me that County Magistrate Lin was young and hot-tempered and difficult to socialize with, so I went back and removed him."
After chatting and laughing for a long time, everyone finally took their seats. Zhou Weijing said, "First of all, congratulations to County Governor Lin on his final victory in the Shizhou Campaign."
After a round of applause and congratulations, he continued, "Chief Lin, do you know that Changshan County is already on the edge of a cliff and could fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces at any time?"
The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart said, "I would like to hear the details."
Zhou Weijing laughed and said, "Chief Lin, everyone knows the story of the child holding gold in a busy market. Changshan County currently has no reliable allies, yet it has seized so much profit. You are now in much greater danger than the child holding the gold."
Qiqiao Linglong was extremely worried: "What should I do then?"
Zhou Weijing smiled and said, "Of course, it's about making friends and forming good relationships. Then, everyone will take care of each other. How can anything happen to you, County Chief Lin?"
Qiqiao's mind suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. I understand."
Zhou Weijing was delighted. As expected, he was just looking for fame and fortune. There was nothing special about it.
Young people are so naive, and when the time comes, you will be forced to spit out everything you have eaten...
You are not qualified to play with us. Zhou Weijing was vicious in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more kind.
"Headmaster Lin, I have a way to gain the friendship of many nobles. It depends on whether you are willing to do so."
Seven-orifice exquisite heart: "Of course... I don't want to."
"Okay, then I...eh?"
Zhou Weijing thought he had misheard and was about to laugh it off, but he saw Lin Wen's expression change at the speed of light, from a cheerful smile to a frozen land.
"Where's the money?" Lin Wen asked. It had been more than an hour since he opened his mind, but his hands were still empty.
This made Lin Wen very dissatisfied. Not only was his spells wasted, but also his precious time.
Now, money has taken a back seat to him. The priority now is to force Shizhou to accept Changshan County's demands, end the negotiations, and return to Changshan County as soon as possible to carry out his super-large development and reform actions.
He already has countless explosive plans to carry out.
This is also the greatest consolation for Lin Wen now - since he was unable to reincarnate perfectly, he might as well try to gain more good karma.
Changshan County has accumulated enough capital to withstand the major transformation he has been planning for a long time.
I want to make a huge breakthrough. A six-digit amount of good karma can no longer satisfy me.
I want more, bigger, stronger and more lasting good karma!
The reason for wasting time here is entirely because of what he called the "extremely significant benefits".
More than an hour was the limit of what he could tolerate.
Zhou Weijing smiled and said, "Don't worry, County Chief Lin, the benefits are greater than you can imagine."
Lin Wen said impatiently: "Don't waste your time. If you don't pay me now, I'll leave."
Zhou Weijing felt a little strange, but he just thought it was the young man's impatience. He held out a box that had been prepared long ago and said with a smile, "This is 1.2 million. It's a small token of my appreciation. I hope County Magistrate Lin will accept it."
Okay.
One million and two hundred thousand an hour is enough for the appearance fee of Qiqiao Linglongxin.
Let’s talk for a while.
Lin Wen put away the box and restarted his mind.
——
Next to the big private room, the door of a small private room was pushed open. Amidst deafening singing and psychedelic lights, Yun Qingshui walked in with several waitresses.
A female official inside came forward, extended her hand, and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Yun. I am Li Hongpei, the second person in charge of the negotiation team."
Yun Qingshui reluctantly shook her hand. She felt uncomfortable with the situation and asked, "Where's County Magistrate Lin? Didn't he ask me to come?"
Li Hongpei smiled and said, "Chief Lin is next door. We'll go over after they finish their talk."
She pointed to a translucent window in the private room. Yun Qingshui turned around and saw that Lin Wen was indeed there, chatting happily with a group of people.
Yun Qingshui felt a little relieved and sat down.
Li Hongpei handed over a beautifully packaged box with both hands. Inside the box, on the black velvet, was a gold necklace studded with diamonds, which radiated charming brilliance under the light.
Li Hongpei smiled and said, "Miss Yun, this is a small gift. Please accept it."
Yun Qingshui glanced at him and said coldly, "I don't want it. If you have anything to say, please say it as soon as possible."
Li Hongpei has been in the world of fame and fortune for a long time. She has seen all kinds of people and doesn't care. She put away the box, covered her mouth and smiled, "Then it can only be County Magistrate Laurin. With red sleeves and flowers in her arms at night, she is also a beautiful sight in the world."
Yun Qingshui didn't know how to explain, so he just kept silent.
Several more women came into the private room, and the following conversation was all about fame and fortune. Yun Qingshui was extremely annoyed listening to them, and was also worried about the local work, so she was simply restless.
Just as she was trying to find an excuse to slip away, she suddenly heard someone say, "...The man who troubled Miss Yun has been beaten to death by us. Hehe, Shizhou is a bunch of losers. They dare to bark in front of Miss Yun. They simply don't know how to live or die."
Yun Qingshui frowned. She didn't like the man, but she wouldn't beat him to death.
Another person said, "That's right. As long as County Chief Lin and Miss Yun cooperate with us, we can walk all over the empire."
"Anyone who dares not give County Chief Lin and Miss Yun face is not giving us face. Anyone who dares to bully County Chief Lin and Miss Yun is bullying us, and we will naturally kill him."
Li Hongpei turned around, her exquisite makeup distorted like a devil under the colorful lights: "...We only have a small request, and I hope Miss Yun can satisfy us."
Yun Qingshui said indifferently: "What request?"
"Stop insisting on keeping your rules and reach a settlement with Seokju as soon as possible."
Li Hongpei added, "We also have good intentions. We want to conclude the negotiations as soon as possible and restore peace to both Shizhou and Changshan County."
Yun Qingshui's eyebrows instantly raised. She tried her best to suppress her anger, stood up, and said coldly, "I don't agree. Goodbye."
Li Hongpei grabbed her hand and said, "Miss Yun, it's enough to just make a face. Why go to such lengths? Whether you're walking in the underworld or working in the government, you need friends. If you respect me, I'll respect you ten feet. From now on, we're all brothers, friends, family, and sisters. Please take care of each other when you need help. Isn't that good?"
"No thanks." Yun Qingshui said coldly, "You and I are not friends."
"Miss Yun, that's too polite."
Li Hongpei said with a smile, without any panic or embarrassment.
Her smile is always so appropriate, and her exquisite makeup hides the passage of time, making her look forever delicate and beautiful.
"Ms. Yun, I know you're very capable and have passed the national examination for advanced martial arts prowess, so you can definitely protect yourself. But what about your family? What about your friends and family? To be frank, you'll get pregnant someday, and there will be times when you can't fight. Your children will be young, and you'll be old. What will you do if you run into trouble then?"
Yun Qingshui stopped and looked at him coldly.
Li Hongpei continued with a superior smile, "Look, we crushed the bug that troubled you today without a second thought. There was no backlash, no one punished us. This is the fate of a loser."
Another person said, "If you come alone, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble, and it will also have a negative impact on County Magistrate Lin. As long as you give your nod, we are all sisters and friends. From now on, we will help you with this kind of thing."
"Yes, from now on, no matter where you go, you will be a high-class lady. You don't have to be on the same level as those low-class servants."
"Are you done?" She kept her eyes closed while listening to them talking.
Li Hongpei smiled and said, "That's all, Miss Yun, what are your thoughts?"
Yun Qingshui opened her eyes, her face was full of anger, and her eyes were almost spitting fire.
"My thoughts," she said through gritted teeth, "are you guys a bunch of bugs."
He suddenly broke free from her hand, turned around and walked out.
At this moment, Li Hongpei said from behind, "The Yun family has lived on the shores of Taihu Lake for generations. The whole family of seventy-six people enjoys the happiness of a peaceful and secluded paradise."
"Miss Yun, am I right?"
Today was a bit short, I was so exhausted that I almost cracked my balls. I was supposed to finish a chapter, but the super burst point was delayed for a whole day... I'll make some adjustments and prepare to burst out again at the weekend to make up for the loss of my fellow readers today...
