Text Chapter 103 Knocking
However, Ye Ye and Zheng Xu didn't have the heart to care about Yan Zhi's thoughts, Ye Ye saw Zheng Xu's hesitant expression, and couldn't help but laugh softly and said: "If you give it to you, you will accept it!
When Zheng Xu heard this, he immediately remembered the rumor that the children of the Murong family had come to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and his expression suddenly became solemn. He didn't shirk any more, and after putting away the Ascension Pill very solemnly, he solemnly assured Ye Ye: "I am willing to do my best for the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce!"
Ye Ye nodded, while feeling relieved, he didn't really pin his hope on Zheng Xu and the others. The Murong family was more powerful than any enemy Ye Ye had encountered before, and even he himself didn't have the confidence to fight now, let alone Zheng Xu and the others. It's just that after Zheng Xu and others improve their strength, their self-protection power will also increase accordingly, which is also good news for Ye Ye.
Not only Zheng Xu, but other lowly people in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce also need to improve their cultivation, especially Xiao Yu, who has been following Ye Ye for the longest time. Although Ye Ye had never thought of treating Xiao Yu as one of his own combat strengths, if Xiao Yu's cultivation was too low, it would be easy to be used and put in danger.
When Xiaoyu was kidnapped by the disciples of the Shenwu Hall during the closure of the town, Ye Ye didn't want it to happen a second time. Therefore, when he rewarded Zheng Xu with the Ascension Pill, he immediately put the matter of improving Xiaoyu's strength in the highest priority. It's just that Xiao Yu, as the treasurer of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, if he suddenly retreats and cultivates, it will be a big blow to the normal operation of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, Ye Ye's top priority is to find a shopkeeper who can replace Xiaoyu to manage the daily life of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce. Even if that person couldn't be as loyal to him as Xiao Yu, Ye Ye also wanted the other party to be someone he was familiar with.
After Zheng Xu accepted the Ascension Pill and left, only Ye Ye and Yan Zhi were left in the room. The gilded suit that Zheng Xu took off was still placed on the table in front of Ye Ye, but Yan Zhi's face didn't dare to show any longing at all, for fear of causing Ye Ye's disgust.
"Do you know why I summoned you today?"
After being silent for a while, Ye Ye finally sat down again and asked calmly to Yan Zhi in front of him.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Yan Zhi's forehead, and he didn't know how to answer Ye Ye.
Just now, he couldn't suppress the surprise on his face because Zheng Xu took off the gilt suit, and he believed that Ye Ye had already seen it all. He didn't dare to speculate at this time, so he could only answer to Ye Ye truthfully: "My subordinates don't know, please make it clear to the president!"
"I heard that you formed a gang in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce before, and gathered many martial artists to plan to form a party for personal gain, I don't know if this matter is true?"
Ye Ye didn't make a fuss, and directly asked the question in his heart. His tone was still flat, and there was no hint of anger in his voice.
But Yan Zhi's face turned pale with fright after hearing his question, and he hurriedly knelt down to Ye Ye and said: "The subordinates know their mistakes, and ask the elders to grow a lot, regardless of the previous suspicions! In the future, the subordinates will definitely be loyal to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and they will be full of brains, please give the subordinates a chance!"
Yan Zhi had almost watched the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce grow into the head of the Mausoleum City, and he was too clear about Ye Ye's strength and potential. Not to mention anything else, just the gap between the two now, Yan Zhi believed that Ye Ye could pinch himself to death with one finger, so he didn't dare to lie at all, but just asked Ye Ye for forgiveness.
Ye Ye saw that Yan Zhi did not quibble, nor did he become angry, and the expression on his face couldn't help but soften a lot. However, of course he wouldn't believe what Yan Zhi said just now, so he just said to Yan Zhi calmly: "You get up! I don't mean to hold you accountable, I just want you to be clear, what you have done The high-level officials of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce are very clear, I hope you don't make mistakes!"
"Don't worry, the president! The subordinates were just pretentious when they first joined the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and they had no eyes, which led to a sharp expansion of ambition and made some mistakes! Fortunately, the legendary experience of the president allowed the subordinates to see a new world, and while being happy and convinced of the president, they were also full of confidence in the future of our Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce! Since then, the subordinates have never organized any gatherings, and they have been wholeheartedly dedicating everything to the Chamber of Commerce, please be aware of the president!"
After Yan Zhi heard Ye Ye's words, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly slapped Ye Ye on the back, while trying his best to clear his name.
He thought that Ye Ye would definitely change his impression of himself after hearing this, even if he would not reward himself with the gilt suit, at least he would not hate himself anymore. It's just that to his surprise, Ye Ye's expression was still calm after hearing this, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Are you sure you haven't done anything like this since, trying to get ahead in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce through special means?"
Ye Ye glanced at Yan Zhi deeply, and asked Yan Zhi again as if he was joking.
Yan Zhi's expression froze, and a trace of imperceptible hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he replied affirmatively to Ye Ye: "No!"
"Then your secret visit to Steward Liu the day before yesterday and your quiet gift to Steward Wang yesterday are just daily interpersonal activities?"
After Yan Zhi denied it, Ye Ye showed a faint mockery at the corner of his mouth, and his tone became cold and asked Yan Zhi.
Because the stewards of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce all live in the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and Ye Ye has already arranged the listening formation at the new site of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, so Yan Zhi's interactions with the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, and even more secret operations, are all under Ye Ye's control. No matter how careful Yan Zhi thought his actions were, he could never escape Ye Ye's eyes.
Originally, Ye Ye still had a trace of expectation for Yan Zhi's honesty, but at this time, seeing that he was really not trustworthy, his face showed undisguised disappointment.
"President! Subordinates should be damned! Until just now, I still had a bit of a fluke mentality, thinking that what I did would not be discovered, please punish the president! Whether the president expels his subordinates from the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce or executes me on the spot, I Yan Zhi deserves it!"
After Yan Zhi heard Ye Ye's question, his whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he immediately knelt down in front of Ye Ye again, his face full of guilt and remorse.
He couldn't have imagined that Ye Ye had even investigated these things clearly, and suddenly felt a chill rise from his spine. Yan Zhi was extremely remorseful in his heart, because although he still hoped to rely on some unbright means to ascend to the sky in one step, he had not done anything to be sorry for the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce. As long as he chooses to confess when Ye Ye interrogated just now, I'm afraid that Ye Ye will not blame him at all, and even praise his honesty for this.
But all this is because Yan Zhi chose to lie to Ye Ye and no longer exists.
Not only that, Ye Ye may even be completely dead to him because of Yan Zhi's dishonesty and decide to expel Yan Zhi from the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, Yan Zhi knew very well that he had no way out, so he did the opposite, exaggerating his remorse to the greatest extent, hoping to reduce his guilt after moving Ye Ye.
Sure enough, after Ye Ye heard Yan Zhi's confession, his face showed surprise.
But Ye Ye was not moved by Yan Zhi's remorse, but felt that this person was really quick-witted, and if he used it well, he might not be able to bring some opportunities to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Although Yan Zhi said that even if he was killed by Ye Ye on the spot, he would not resist, when in fact, if Ye Ye really had the intention to kill him, with Yan Zhi's cultivation in the realm of martial arts, there would be no chance of resistance at all, and Yan Zhi dared to boast about Haikou precisely because he understood this. What's more, with his understanding of Ye Ye, he knew that Ye Ye would not take people's lives because of this matter, so when he repented, he would be so sincere, almost touching.
Although Ye Ye was not particularly satisfied with Yan Zhi's character, he did not hate it to the core. In addition, the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce was facing the threat of the Murong family at this time, and it was the time to employ people, so it was decided to give Yan Zhi another chance.
"Get up! You can take this gilt suit for the time being, and whether you have the ability to keep it depends on your future performance! I only give you one piece of advice, so that you can do it yourself!"
Ye Ye pondered for a moment, and then directly asked Yan Zhi to get up. He pointed to the gilded suit on the table next to him, and gave Yan Zhi a faint order.
When he said the last advice, Ye Ye's tone was unprecedentedly cold. Yan Zhi understood as soon as he heard that this was the last chance that Ye Ye gave him. If he disappoints Ye Ye again, I'm afraid what awaits Yan Zhi is not just as simple as punishment, and his life may really not be saved!
"Thank you for the gift of the president, my subordinates will definitely do their best to serve the Chamber of Commerce in the future!
Yan Zhi got up and picked up the gilt suit with both hands, and replied solemnly to Ye Ye.
Although his words were no longer as sensational as they had just been, they were more sincere. Ye Ye finally showed a trace of satisfaction on his face after hearing this, and waved his hand at Yan Zhi to signal him to go down first.
Yan Zhi bowed respectfully to Ye Ye, and then left Ye Ye's room with a gilt suit. His face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl to express his excitement.
Because although the gilded suit is not like the Ascension Pill that can directly help him advance to the Martial Spirit Realm, after wearing it, Yan Zhi can immediately have the strength of the Martial Spirit Realm, and his status in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce will also increase significantly compared to before. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to make friends with the powerful people in the Chamber of Commerce, those people will pay attention to him in the future.
Yan Zhi understood that all this was due to Ye Ye, so his loyalty to Ye Ye had reached an unprecedented height. Even he believed that the big names in the Chamber of Commerce valued him Yan Zhi in the future, in addition to the increase in strength brought to him by the gilt suit, what was more important was the fact that Ye Ye rewarded him with the gilt suit.
In any case, his Yan Zhi's future is already closely related to Ye Ye, and at this time, apart from being loyal to Ye Ye with all his might, Yan Zhi can't think of any way to make him soar.
