Yongning City, the seat of the Chaos Domain Lord's Mansion, a soldier guarding the city gate became excited when he saw Li Mu and Chen Siqi, two elegantly dressed people, trying to enter the city. Just as he was about to step forward and try to extort money from them, a city guard quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, whispering something in his ear.
The soldier's face suddenly changed, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart. He quickly and politely made way for Li Mu and the other man. In response, Li Mu didn't even raise his eyelids and just walked past him.
After Li Mu and his companions entered the city, the general saw his men looking at him strangely, and immediately snorted coldly, spitting at Li Mu's back, and said fiercely: "Bah! What a bullshit! You are just relying on the support of that bitch named Meng. Humph, our Lord of the Territory is coming back, let's see how long you can be so arrogant!"
…………
Although Li Mu had already walked far away, he heard clearly the harsh words uttered by the soldier. However, he did not bother with the soldier. At his level, arguing with a small soldier over such a small matter would only lower his status. Instead, he became interested in the so-called domain lord. If the domain lord could come back before leaving the Chaos Sea, he would not mind giving him a beating and inquire about the situation of the six major forces from him.
Although Ji Gulan provided intelligence to the six major forces, the Qiongzu Universe was too large, and even Ji Gulan could not avoid missing something. With one more person, the understanding would naturally be more comprehensive.
As soon as he entered the city, Meng Ting came to greet him: "Your subordinate welcomes the Palace Master."
Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "Tell me about the situation."
"Yes, Palace Master!" Meng Ting said as she led Li Mu and the other person towards the Chaos Trading Bank branch, while introducing Li Mu to the current situation of the Chaos Trading Bank branch.
"Two years ago, Meng Wushuang, as the head of the Chaos Sea branch of Chaos Merchants, issued a notice within the branch, summoning all the branch leaders to come to Yongning City for a meeting. Today, two years later, only 2,500 branch leaders have arrived, and 2,500 are absent."
Li Mu frowned when he heard this: "Your ancestor is the branch president after all, how come so many people missed his meeting?"
Meng Ting smiled bitterly: "Palace Master, you misunderstood. Although there are indeed some people who secretly oppose Meng Wushuang on weekdays, Meng Wushuang issued the notice this time under the order of the president after all, and those people did not dare to come against him. The reason why so many people are absent is that the Chaos Sea is too big, and some people are too far away and lack strength. Two years is not enough to rush here. If the Palace Master can give a little more time..."
Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted Meng Ting: "Let's collect these people first."
Li Mu was not so eager to recruit these people from Chaos Trading Company, so he naturally could not waste any more time here.
The reason why we gave them two years was, firstly, to allow them to recuperate. They had just recruited so many people, and they had to digest the situation first before making any further plans.
The second reason is that the Chaos Sea is strictly speaking Li Mu’s hometown. He hopes from the bottom of his heart that the Chaos Sea can prosper. If he wants the Chaos Sea to prosper, breaking the blockade of the six major forces is certainly important, but commercial development is equally important.
Every profession has its specialties. As the largest business group in the Lingxiao Universe, Chaos Trading Company can be said to be the only one in the entire Qiongzu Universe and the Lingxiao Universe who understands business better than them. Having them under one's command can not only revitalize the economy of the Chaos Sea, but also absorb their experience and accumulate experience for the future development of the Lingxiao Universe.
But business is always a minor path. If it can succeed, that would be the best. If it fails, Li Mu will not care too much. But Li Mu's plan of recruiting enlightened monks cannot be delayed because of the people of Chaos Trading Company.
Just as they arrived at the door of the Chaos Trading Bank branch, before Li Mu and his companions entered, a noise was heard from the conference room inside.
"Meng Wushuang, what exactly do you want us to come for? We have been here for so many days, and you said you were here for a meeting, but you didn't say a word about the content of the meeting! Do you know how much loss the bank will suffer if we put aside the things we are doing in order to attend this meeting? If you don't tell me the reason today, I will report it to the head office truthfully!" said an old man with his beard puffed and eyes glared.
This man's name is Qiu Feng. He is the powerful vice president of the branch and is responsible for managing the business in the northern part of the Chaos Sea. He is comparable to a provincial governor. In this branch, there is more than one person who holds a higher position than him, but in terms of the power he holds, only Meng Wushuang can suppress him.
However, Qiu Feng is obviously unwilling to be inferior to Meng Wushuang. No matter big or small, he will find an opportunity to jump out and sing against Meng Wushuang, and he has a large number of supporters standing on his side.
The same was true for Qiu Feng's attack this time. After he finished speaking, a group of people behind him began to whisper and directed their criticism at Meng Wushuang.
On the other side, those who were loyal to Meng Wushuang naturally did not show weakness and began to accuse Qiu Feng and others.
"How dare you! Vice President Qiu, this is the headquarters of the Chaos Commercial Bank branch, not your northern branch office. How can you call the president by his name?" a middle-aged woman shouted. Her name was Peng Lan. She was also a vice president and belonged to the Meng Wushuang faction. She was in charge of the branch's finances and had often gotten in the way of Qiu Feng's financial problems.
"Hmph! A bully who takes advantage of others' power!" Qiu Feng said with disdain.
"You...President, Qiu Feng has no respect for the leader. I propose that we take advantage of this meeting to remove him!" Peng Lan was furious and pointed at Qiu Feng and said to Meng Wushuang with trembling hands.
Meng Wushuang is not qualified to remove the vice president. Even if everyone votes by raising their hands, the support rate must reach more than 70%. Qiu Feng's influence in the branch is not much weaker than Meng Wushuang, so it is obviously impossible for him to reach a 70% support rate.
As the vice president of the bank, Peng Lan naturally understood this truth. The reason she made such a proposal was just to disgust Qiu Feng.
Meng Wushuang smiled bitterly at this. He really enjoyed this kind of power struggle in the past. In the past, he would definitely agree to Peng Lan's proposal and take this opportunity to suppress Qiu Feng. But now, after seeing the power of Lingxiao Palace, he no longer looked down on this small branch of Chaos Trading Company. Power struggle? Just playing house.
However, the Chaos Bank branch was Meng Wushuang's token of his joining the High Heavens Palace, so he would not watch the situation continue to deteriorate. So he waved his hand and said, "Vice President Peng, calm down. We are all for the development of Chaos Bank. We are all family members, so we should unite. There is no need to make the relationship so awkward."
"Hmm?" Qiu Feng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "What's going on? Did Meng Wushuang take the wrong medicine today? The word 'unity' actually came out of his mouth. It's totally out of the ordinary! Did he discover something?"
