Chapter 1554: Hooked
"Old Jia, how are things going?"
Several old men who were over half a hundred years old surrounded Jia Wanqiong, with a bit of anxiety and a bit of pretentious respect.
"Heh, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, the old man showed his old face, and finally said that he moved the kid who didn't get in the oil and salt!"
The corners of Jia Wanqiong's mouth twitched, and a layer of fine sweat and a happy smile appeared on his fat face, as if he had worked hard to get things done.
In fact, it is true, but it is just a mouthful and heart, and it really takes a lot of spouts.
But people are as good as him, where can they not see that the thoughts of these elders of the Four Seas Dragon Merchant Clan are just superficially respectful, if it is not for him, even this posture is too lazy to pose.
Over the years, relying on the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, the four wealthy families have competed for power and profit with the Jia family, and they have been looking at people from their nostrils, when he is an old man who doesn't know?
This time, even if he knew that he couldn't help Wu Ming, the Dragon Merchants of the Four Seas were unwilling to bow their heads, but in the name of affecting the normal order of the Tongbao Commercial Bank's auction, they asked him to come forward, which already made this person dissatisfied.
Even, from time to time, he reminded him that if it weren't for the secret support of his grandson Jia Zhengjing, Wu Ming would not be able to go today.
It's okay to talk about this in private, if you really want to make a big deal about it, the Jia family can't bear it, after all, Wu Ming has too many enemies!
Rao is like this, the Jia family wants to hide Jia's politics and economics, and even takes back most of the privileges, but finds that this junior has been deeply rooted, and has a force that he can control, and even the Jia family cannot ignore it.
Of course, the Jia family can also forcibly take it back, but in this way, it gives people the impression of being timid and afraid, and it is easy to make the clansmen deviate from morality.
You must know that there are no clan elders in the clan who support Jia Zhengjing, after all, their talents and abilities are obvious to all, and the only bad thing is that he was too deeply involved with Wu Ming in his early years.
Even if there is no longer contact later, there will always be people who will suspect that there is no one on the surface, but what is it secretly.
As a result, Jia Zhengjing's status in the Jia family was unusually embarrassing.
"That's good, that's good!"
Everyone is not stupid, and they can naturally see that this smiling tiger is also pretending to be a gesture, but it is not broken.
Anyway, the Dragon Merchants of the Four Seas and the Jia family, since the establishment of Tongbao Commercial Bank together, have been inseparable from each other, and it has long been an indisputable fact, but they have not torn their faces.
As for the reason, it is naturally that the interests are too entangled!
They all want to swallow this cake, but because the cake is too big, no one can swallow it alone, and if they forcibly possess it, they will inevitably be strangled to death.
Over time, such a deformed interest group was formed, which continues to this day.
"But!"
Just when everyone was polite and about to turn around, Jia Wanqiong's words suddenly changed, satisfying everyone's appetite, and then he touched his round chin and said, "That junior said that the fish and dragon are rare delicacies in the world, and it seems that they have the intention of selling them here or auctioning them." ”
"What?"
"Is that true?"
"You don't fool me into waiting, do you?"
For a while, the eyes of several old guys were round, shining, and there was surprise and excitement.
If you're really sleepy, you can send a pillow!
What I'm afraid of is that Wu Ming is acting recklessly at the venue, if he is bumped into by the dragon clan in front of the dragon clan, he will inevitably fight, and the auction will not be opened?
But now it's different, as long as the fish and dragon are on the auction list, even the stars in the sky have to be taken down.
Don't look at some of the existence of the Four Seas Dragon Merchants, they are cautious, but on the surface, they still need the support of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, otherwise they are the fat and cake that can be taken by others.
This is also why, the dragon clan is extremely relieved of the dragon merchants of the four seas, a group of merchants, without the power to support, is not meat on the chopping board?
Moreover, being able to rescue the daughter of the Golden Saint is really a triple win for them.
"Ha, he just said it so casually, this kid is also the best in the world, ordinary objects, but may not be able to enter his eyes!"
Jia Wanqiong laughed and snorted, didn't say anything to death, but walked away with his hands behind his back.
He brought it, this is Wu Ming's return gift to him for face, and his old man has also become a refinement, how can he not see the reason?
As one of the helmsmen of Tongbao Commercial Bank, Jia Wanqiong is not 100% aware of the situation, at least some small actions can never be hidden from him.
Even Jia Zhengjing's action of secretly collecting treasures was extremely secretive, but it was not without traces.
Otherwise, even Dongfang Zixuan could detect it, how could she hide it from him?
Several clan elders of the Four Seas Dragon merchants did not keep them, and even saved their politeness, so they immediately got together to discuss how to take down the fish dragon from Wu Ming.
Jia Wanqiong shook three times in one step, came to the lower treasure house, and saw Jia Zhengjing, who was busy sweating profusely and counting all kinds of treasures, in the shuttle, in and out, and busy with the guards and servants of the trading house.
Today's Jia Zhengjing is still obese, with fine light in his small eyes, which is quite similar to Jia Wanqiong, that is, it is two laps smaller.
Jia Wanqiong nodded with satisfaction, but there was no regret in his heart, because in his opinion, his grandson, who had always been very important, had already crossed the line!
The Dragon Merchants of the Four Seas are a cake in the eyes of the big forces of all parties, but why not the Jia family?
If it weren't for the bottom line and the ancestral teachings of the family, and with amazing skills and social relationships, the Jia family would have been swallowed up cleanly, and there would not even be any scum left!
It is a good thing to value love and righteousness, but you must know how to make trade-offs, in order to advance and retreat with evidence, and you must be able to distinguish between distant and close relatives, even if the friendship is good, it is also an outsider, and the family is the foundation.
Even though you are extremely talented and have extraordinary skills, can you really get to this point without the support of your family?
Therefore, the only thing Jia Wanqiong is dissatisfied with Jia Zhengjing is that he feels that this little grandson is a little unclear.
"Little Liu!"
As soon as he thought of this, Jia Wanqiong felt that it was necessary to remind Jia Zhengjing again, so as not to cause trouble at this juncture and involve the family, which would be even worse.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Jia Zhengjing found Jia Wanqiong in the corner, hurriedly handed over a directory to his subordinates, and trotted to the front to salute.
Although he is also a half-saint powerhouse now, there is still a big gap compared to Jia Wanqiong, a veteran half-saint.
"That friend of yours, Wu Ming, is here, it's on the top floor, aren't you going to meet him?"
Jia Wanqiong said with a smile.
"Grandpa, although Wu Ming is a child friend, he is a childhood companion, and he hasn't seen him for many years, what's the point of seeing it or not?"
Jia Zhengjing smiled bitterly.
"Huh!"
Jia Wanqiong's eyes narrowed, flashing with a light that he didn't know what to mean, and changed his words, "That kid is indeed a ruthless stubble, when he came, he abolished a junior of the Nangong family on the spot, what do you think?"
"This ...... He was originally such a person, he never took the initiative to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of things, and now he is a semi-saint powerhouse, what is the situation of the Nangong family, you also know.
It's a pity that this kind of thing happened, but after all these years, the feelings have faded, but it's hard to say anything. ”
Jia Zhengjing spread his hands and said helplessly, "Of course, if you speak, your grandson can say a word or two, but he is a very assertive person, if you don't listen, you don't know!"
"Well, that's good!"
Jia Wanqiong bowed slightly, and changed his words again, "This time he listed a fish dragon as a tradable treasure, what do you think?"
"Huh?"
Jia Zhengjing was stunned for a moment, and really didn't react, because Wu Ming didn't tell him about this, and said incredibly, "Could it be that ......?"
"That's the one!"
Jia Wanqiong's heart was slightly relieved, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see that Jia Zhengjing was indeed not cheating, it seemed that he really did not contact Wu Ming privately, at least this matter was not intentional.
"That's a good thing!"
Jia Zhengjing nodded.
"A good thing?"
"It's a good thing, at least don't worry, the dragon clan and Wu Ming have a conflict on the spot, otherwise the big auction won't be able to go on!"
Jia Zhengjing smiled bitterly.
"That's just as well!"
Jia Wanqiong glanced at Jia Zhengjing deeply, put his hands behind his back, and walked away with three shakes.
"It's a good thing!"
Jia Zhengjing murmured in his heart, there was no discoloration on his face, and he went to arrange the venue as usual.
"This kid, I'm afraid there's something hidden in my heart!"
Jia Wanqiong suddenly glanced back at his little grandson, pretending that nothing had happened, and Shi Shiran walked away.
......
"What, he's going to auction or bid on the fish?"
Dongfang Zixuan, who was resting, lost any sleepiness when she received the news, and she thought about it strongly.
For her, Wu Ming is a shadow that can't be shaken, and she is no longer the down-and-out son she could stand tall and look down on, but a ruthless and extremely smart peerless genius.
Even, even if she wants to look up, she may not be able to see the existence clearly.
"Miss, the principals of the other three families are all discussing what to use as a reason to lead him to make a move, but it's just ......"
The attendant wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's just that they can't make up their minds and don't want to take this responsibility, so they all push it to me?"
Dongfang Zixuan smiled coldly, scolding in her heart, a bunch of people who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, and have no responsibility.
Afraid of wolves and tigers in the past, these are the people who are talking about it.
obviously wanted the fish dragon to befriend the golden scales, but he was worried that this was a conspiracy, for fear that Wu Ming would hide some means.
If you don't get it right, it's not a good relationship, but a bad relationship, and if you commit a dragon taboo, you'll be in trouble!
The entourage hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to hear, although it was Dongfang Zixuan's henchman, there were some things that could be heard but could not be mixed in.
"Hmph, tell them that I will arrange this matter, and I will be sure to let Wu Ming release the fish dragon at that time!"
Dongfang Zixuan waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The attendant hurriedly bowed his head and withdrew.
"Shot the fish dragon, did you deliberately lay it out?"
Dongfang Zixuan rubbed her eyebrows, wanting to relieve the faint pain in her brain, but found that the more she thought about it, the more painful it became, and the fear she had just suppressed seemed to be spreading, "If that's the case, is your intention to be the treasure that Jia Zhengjing is preparing to retrieve, or is it a maze to hide people's eyes and ears?"
"Someone!"
After thinking about it for a while, Dongfang Zixuan tapped a rune on the edge of the window.
"Miss!"
Soon a guard arrived.
"Pass my order, invite Cheng, Chu, and Situ to come and discuss important matters, and do it immediately, there must be no mistakes!"
Dongfang Zixuan ordered majestically.
"No!"
The guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around.
