Half a month later.

In the past half a month, in addition to teaching everyone to cultivate, Xue Jian also personally went to the three port cities of Wanghai City, Moon Cliff Town, and Tianya City to inspect them.

Now the development of these three port cities has entered the normal stage, and in just over a year, the changes have been earth-shaking.

The streets are full of people, and the level of prosperity and liveliness is about to catch up with the Nanming capital.

Xue Jian was very satisfied with this.

He also went to the Yuanjing ore vein, and saw many ships docked on the sea from a distance, and many people were cleaning ore on the deck.

Busy and busy, those miners also have more smiles on their faces.

After returning to Moon Cliff Town, Xue Jian temporarily lived in a small villa near the sea, looking at the calm and waveless sea, Xue Jian felt the peace that he had not seen for a long time.

At this moment, his expression moved, and he looked in the direction of the harbor, and saw a large ship sailing, and a group of richly dressed men and women stood on the bow.

Among them, standing at the forefront is an elegant old man in a high-crowned green shirt.

Beside him, there stood an old man with white hair and beard, and a bookkeeper who looked like he was sour.

These two Xue Jian knew each other, and it was Wu Qing and others who were knocked out of Black Tiger Mountain by him with a punch before.

From a distance, Wu Qing also saw Xue Jian standing on the small pavilion near the sea, and said something to the elegant old man.

The distance was too far for Xue Jian to hear at all, and as the ship gradually approached, the elegant old man turned his head to look at Xue Jian, with a kind smile on his face.

Not long after, the big ship docked at the port of Moon Cliff Town, and a group of people led by the elegant old man walked down.

"Elder Xu, you lead the disciples to the inn first, and I'll go and say hello to Elder Wu. ”

The bookkeeper nodded yes, very respectfully.

The two old men walked together towards the small villa by the harbor.

When I got closer, I saw a young man in white standing at the gate with a smile.

Wu Qing's face was calm, and there was no smile.

The elegant old man stepped forward quickly, his steps were light, he looked old, and smiled very politely.

"Li Tiansheng, vice president of the Old Man Navigation Chamber of Commerce, has met President Xue. ”

People respect me, I respect people.

Xue Jian immediately smiled and hugged his fists and said politely.

"I've met President Lee, and I'm invited to come in and talk about it. ”

The elegant old man nodded, and walked towards the small villa with a unique architecture with Xue Jian.

Although he had an unpleasant quarrel with Wu Qing last time, it did not mean that Xue Jian had completely broken with the Navigation Chamber of Commerce.

On the contrary, after Wu Qing reported the matter to the upper echelons, it would attract more attention, and other high-level officials of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce would also seriously consider it.

Perhaps, their attitude towards the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce will take a 180-degree turn.

Xue Jian led the two old men to the terrace of the small pavilion with the best scenery and made a pot of sea tea himself.

He and Li Tiansheng laughed and talked constantly, if outsiders saw it, they would definitely not think that these two were meeting for the first time.

Li Tiansheng is approachable and friendly.

Xue Jian can speak well, gentle and humble.

The two of them had a sense of forgetting the New Year's friendship, and Wu Qing's face became more and more ugly when he saw it.

He invited this Vice President Li to come over to help him find a venue, but as soon as this arrived, Vice President Li chatted with the other party and left him aside.

Seeing that the two sides finished drinking a cup of tea, Wu Qing only took a symbolic sip, and he couldn't help coughing lightly.

Li Tiansheng changed his words and said.

"The old man heard that some time ago, there was some unpleasantness between President Xue and Elder Wu, and the old man apologized to President Xue on behalf of the Navigation Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xue Jian waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Where is it, President Li is polite, it's just a trivial matter, Xue has long forgotten it. ”

Li Tiansheng lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xue Jian, and on the clear tea water, a piece of tender green tea kept spinning.

After Xue Jian picked up this cup of tea, he immediately felt a strong energy pass through the teacup into his palm.

Li Tiansheng poured himself another cup of tea and saluted.

"President Xue is young, but he is so powerful, which is admirable, the old man replaces wine with tea and toasts the president. ”

The two teacups touched, and suddenly another internal force squeezed through the teacup, making Xue Jian's right hand tremble slightly.

Immediately afterward, the tender green tea leaves floating in the cup spun at a faster speed and eventually collapsed into powder.

"Please!"

Li Tiansheng raised the teacup and drank it slowly.

Xue Jian couldn't speak at all at this moment, his body was like a river overturning the sea, and his breath was disordered like a storm on the sea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Tiansheng immediately got up to say goodbye and led Wu Qing, who looked suspicious, to leave the place.

Wu Qing's realm is not low, and of course he can see the mystery in the teacup.

What he wondered was that Li Tiansheng completely had the upper hand and suppressed Xue Jian, so why didn't he take advantage of this to exert pressure and put forward conditions.

After the others left, Xue Jian immediately slapped his palm on his chest and spit out the tea he had just drunk in his stomach.

Spit out this sip of tea, Xue Jian suddenly felt refreshed, and his limbs were as if they had been washed by a clear spring, which was extremely comfortable.

Many of the internal injuries he suffered before, and some of the hidden dangers left behind, were actually repaired at this moment.

Then Li Tiansheng didn't take the opportunity to pressure him and test Xue Jian's strength, but helped him.

Xue saw that he got up and bent down in the direction where the elegant old man had left.

is worthy of being the vice president of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and this magnanimity is admirable.

Early the next morning, Xue Jian found the Four Seas Inn where Li Tiansheng and others stayed.

This inn has been chartered by the Navigation Chamber of Commerce, and as soon as Xue Jian entered the door, a young and beautiful woman in purple greeted him and said politely.

"Mr. is President Xue of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Xue Jian smiled and nodded.

The woman in purple smiled like a flower arrangement.

"My grandfather has long ordered me to wait here, President Xue, please come here. ”

"Your grandfather?"

Xue Jian glanced at this woman in purple with a tall figure and outstanding temperament in surprise.

She smiled brightly, her eyebrows and eyes curled into a pair of crescents.

"My grandfather is Vice President Li. ”

Then, she took Xue Jian and walked into the backyard of the inn.

Under an old peach tree in the backyard, Li Tiansheng was playing against Wu Qing.

The moment Xue Jian stepped into the backyard, Li Tiansheng just fell and chuckled.

"Elder Wu, you've lost!"

Of course, Wu Qing saw Xue Jian, sighed lightly, and had to admit defeat.

He lost this time, not only on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard.

Before Xue Jian could figure out the situation, he saw that Wu Qing got up and walked over, bent down towards him and hugged his fist.

"The last time Heihu Mountain and his party were rude, I hope President Xue will bear with me. ”

Xue saw that he didn't react for a while, so he saw the woman in purple next to him cover her mouth and smile, leaned into his ear and whispered to explain.

"Hee-hee...... President Xue, yesterday my grandfather made a bet with Elder Wu that you would definitely come to visit this morning, and if my grandfather won, Elder Wu will have to apologize to you. ”

Xue Jian suddenly smiled dumbly, his eyes fell on Wu Qing's face, looking at his old face, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like the wrinkled old bitter gourd.
