Everyone had heard the news before they came, and although they were not surprised to hear it, they were all very excited. Many of these talents are destined to be acquired.

President Lin said slowly: "The Holy Lord is satisfied with the performance of our Hangzhou Imperial Merchants, and specially gave such a big reward, and the Chief Manager Gao personally sent it to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. And informed about the supplementary benefits brought by this jade ruyi.

"It's a pity that such a good thing can't play its role if it is placed in the Chamber of Commerce. But there is only one good thing, we can't let Yu Ruyi put it in your house for a few days, and then put it in his house for a few days, because of the status brought by Yu Ruyi, who gets this jade Ruyi, that is to be placed in whose home it has to be, the holy reward, the great glory, can be passed on as an heirloom. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Then a young man anxiously asked, "We understand what President Lin meant." It's just that Jade Ruyi only has one handle, so how should it be distributed? What criteria and principles does President Lin have to follow to determine the ownership of Yu Ruyi? ”

"That's exactly what the old man was going to say." President Lin Maitreya smiled kindly, waved his hand and motioned for the man to sit down, and said gently: "Everyone can see it." Most of the people invited today are young people. ”

And everyone looked left and right in unison, and each of them bowed his head.

President Lin said: "The future of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is still in the hands of the younger generation, and good opportunities must be left to young people. Of course, the gifts of the emperor cannot be given to one person at will, we must compete fairly, so that the best one can hold the jade Ruyi, so as to live up to the gift of the saint. ”

Someone shouted, "President Lin means to test us?" ”

"Exactly." President Lin bowed his head, "But we don't plan to ask questions in this test, since there is a problem, there is a possibility of missing the question, and we will not vote, since there is a vote, there is a possibility of pulling the relationship." We all have to be cautious and cautious in dealing with the things that are given by the Emperor, so this time, after the deliberation of a few of our old fellows, we decided to adopt the fairest and most practical method. ”

When Zhu Youning heard this, he held his chin and looked up at the first place with interest.

It's not that her psychology is dark, in a place like the Chamber of Commerce where businesses gather interests first, if there is really a fair and practical way, it is really strange.

The people below began to talk, and the buzzing discussion became louder and louder.

President Lin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Don't be anxious, after listening to the old man, everyone will naturally understand." ”

When it was quiet again, President Lin said: "More than three months ago, a major event happened in our Hangzhou Mansion, I believe that everyone living near Fuyang knows it clearly, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince took people to travel, but something happened in Fuyang County, and the kidnappers tied the Sixth Highness to a mountain in Fuyang County, although in the end the Sixth Highness came back safely." I didn't blame much, but the mountain where the kidnappers fled and the surrounding mountain roads were under martial law, and now no one is allowed to pass through. ”

Zhu Youning knew about this.

Li Luo had such a big incident, and when he came back, his legs were weak, and he hurriedly led the people who came with him to leave Fuyang with his illness.

Shengshang is such a son, he was kidnapped and threatened in Fuyang after a trip, and after that, someone immediately blocked the mountains that were hunting at that time, and continued to investigate the origin of Ma Yicheng.

President Lin said: "So far, it has been three months since those mountains were blocked, which has caused many of our merchants to cut off communication with the Linshan County behind the mountain, but all the roads that need to pass through the nearby mountains, including timber and minerals, have also been suspended.

"The most important thing is that Linshan County is a transportation hub, originally from other places to transport goods, arrived in Linshan County, over a mountain is Fuyang, Fuyang has a wharf, can directly transport goods to Hangzhou and other places. But now that the mountain road is blocked, the goods have to go around a big circle to find the wharf if they want to be transported to Hangzhou. This has virtually increased the cost of transportation, which has caused great inconvenience to our merchants.

"I am also talking about this now for the sake of brainstorming. If someone can unseal the mountains and forests here, and can prove that they did it themselves, then it is enough to prove that this person's ability is enough to have this jade ruyi. ”

Speaking of this, President Lin stood up and said with high emotions: "The person who can do this can not only have the identity behind Yu Ruyi, but also serve as the honorary president of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce forever." ”

At this moment, everyone understood why President Fang Cailin would mention the matter of the honorary president.

It's self-evident how difficult it is.

The saint's knees are thin, just such a successive son, the baby pimple hurts, but on a trip, he encountered a kidnapper who was robbed into the mountains, and he was frightened and injured, according to the thoughts of those trembling courtiers, only a few mountains are not enough to offset the impact of that incident, if the anger of the saint can be erased, the blood sacrifice of several people is made.

Zhu Youning didn't know what others were doing, anyway, as soon as she heard the condition proposed by President Lin, she immediately felt that she was afraid that she would not have a chance with Yu Ruyi.

Those who blockaded the mountains and forests were not only the people arranged by the yamen, but also the local officers and soldiers, and it was even more difficult for those who were involved in the army to act.

Zhu Youning has no money to bribe, and second, he has no connections, so it is quite difficult to do this matter.

However, Zhu Youning did not feel discouraged, although she wanted the benefits behind Yu Ruyi, she also knew that she would turn her own catties upside down. If you can't afford it, you won't be able to hold it when the battle comes.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youning completely relaxed, and took a moment to observe the reactions of the people around him.

There are those who whisper and feel that this request is unfair, and there are also those who have a relaxed and confident smile like the eldest lady of the Cheng family, Yan Sui's appearance is as usual, Zhu Youning can't see his emotions, and he can't guess his attitude towards this matter, so he simply doesn't think much about it.

When President Lin had finished speaking, he adjourned the meeting.

There are people who are slow and methodical and chatting with people, and there are also people who are in a hurry to go out to find relationships.

Zhu Youning was not in a hurry, and left the Cheng family's house with Yan Sui, who was also not in a hurry, and when they arrived at the door of the mansion, the two saluted each other and said a few polite words before saying goodbye.

When I returned to Hangzhou's mansion in the Zhu family, I was greeted by the door as soon as I got out of the car, and the kid with fast legs had already rushed inside to pass the word.

In order to wait for the news, Zhu Hualiang came back early today, and when he saw Zhu Youning coming back, he carefully inquired about the situation.

Zhu Youning carefully recounted what had happened, and said, "If it's something else, I can try my best to figure it out, but this matter is too big for us." ”

Zhu Hualiang stood up, walked around the ground several times with his hands behind his back, and then twisted his eyebrows and said, "It's really too big." After the incident in Fuyang, I heard that even Cai Zhixian was dismissed, and now he has become Cai Xiancheng, and if he wants to come to a county Cheng, he has no ability to mobilize officers and soldiers to block those two mountains. ”

"Exactly." Zhu Youning said, "I also want to try my best to get that jade Ruyi and bring glory to my family, but unfortunately my ability is limited, I have no connections in the army, and I don't have any friends who are officials." rushed into the station circle so rashly, I was worried that it would cause trouble for the Zhu family, so it was better to settle down at this time. ”

Zhu Hualiang nodded and sighed: "The four words of self-knowledge have always been the most depressing. ”

Zhu Youning sneered when he heard it, "But it's also a golden sentence for self-preservation." ”

Zhu Hualiang thought about it, but this is also the truth, and said: "Then you can rest for a long time." I'll think about how to talk back to the old lady. ”

Zhu Youning stood up and said, "Yes, my niece is retiring." ”

Back in the bedroom of the guest house, Zhu Youning lay on the couch on his back on the pillow, looking at Chengchen above his head in a daze for a moment, and felt much better.

She has such great ability, and some things can't be done by working her own. Since Yu Ruyi's matter is not fateful, she will never force it, but she doesn't know that there are still many good things that she can encounter in this life, and there is no need to fight for this time.

No matter what the situation of other people's families is, Zhu Youning let go of the big stone in his heart, and his life became more and more comfortable.

It happened that Sixteen came with him this time, and Zhu Youning simply took him out for two days, eating and playing, but Sixteen was very happy.

On this day, I happened to be out shopping and almost came home, and just arrived at the front of the house, I saw that Steward Yan was about to leave.

Zhu Youning lifted the curtain in surprise, leaned over and said, "Steward Yan?" ”

When Steward Yan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Nine, you're back." The old man came looking for you, but it happened that you were not at home. I've been waiting for a long time and I haven't seen you come back, and I'm about to go back. ”

At this time, Zhu Youning and Sixteen had stepped on the footstool and got out of the car, walked up to Steward Yan and said with a smile: "I went out with my brother." Steward Yan came, but what happened to Young Master Yan? ”

Steward Yan smiled: "It is indeed my son-in-law who is looking for you, and there is something important to discuss." I don't know if you have time to talk about it. ”

Zhu Youning thought about it for a while, and then said: "Okay, I don't have anything else to do now, there is time, I don't know where Yan Gongzi is?" ”

Steward Yan smiled and pointed to a spacious carriage parked at the corner of the street, "Please come here, Miss Zhu, my son-in-law is waiting in the car." ”

Zhu Youning looked back and saw that the curtain of the car was raised, and a jade-faced young man wearing a light gray wide-sleeved straight jacket was smiling at her.

This man is smiling so beautifully.

Zhu Youning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, turned around and told Sixteen to wait here, and went to the carriage with Steward Yan.

"It's a good thing I came back early, otherwise I wouldn't have let you pounce."

"Isn't it?" Listening to Zhu Youning's joking tone, Yan Sui also smiled and said, "Originally, I guessed that Miss Zhu must have been thinking about a solution to that problem at home, but who knew that Miss Zhu didn't take this matter to heart. ”

Steward Yan put a stool for Zhu Youning to cushion her feet, and lifted the curtain for her.

Yan Sui smiled: "If you don't dislike it, let's say a few words here." ”

"There's nothing to dislike, it's so convenient, so as not to have to find a place to talk." Zhu Youning got into the car, sat at the door of the car, lowered the curtain casually, and asked, "What is the matter with Yan Gongzi looking for me?" ”

Yan Sui's back was straight, his demeanor was graceful, and in the dimly lit carriage, his facial features were lined with shadowy outlines more three-dimensional.

"It's a good thing that I've come to you. You and I are friends, and for the sake of our friendship, I have some news to share with you. ”

Zhu Youning looked at Yan Sui in surprise, and saw a smile on his handsome face that was difficult to describe, except for mildness, people couldn't experience any other emotions.

Yan Sui did help her, which is equivalent to saving her life, she took the initiative to remind Yan Sui in order to repay her kindness, but at that time, she also got greater news that allowed her to avoid the disaster. In fact, in the final analysis, although she owes Yan Sui the grace of saving her life, she has not reached the level of making friends with Yan Sui.

Yu Ruyi is what they all want now, although Yan Sui was invited to the meeting this time just to know about this matter, because he is from Guangzhou Mansion and has no right to compete for Yu Ruyi, but in the end he is not obliged to tell her the news.

Looking at Yan Sui's appearance now, what he said just now was like a strange uncle with a smile on his face asking her, "Little sister, do you want to eat sugar?" ”

Zhu Youning felt that his heart was hairy, as if he had a hook on his head after the sugar, as long as he took this mouthful of sugar, he would be hooked.

Zhu Youning coughed, secretly thinking that she would never take the bait, and said with a smile: "Then I want to thank you." What's the strange news? ”

Yan Sui looked at Zhu Youning's defensive little appearance, as if she saw a little white fox with soft fur and fluffy hair rolling in the snow, her fingers twitched twice, and she almost touched her head again.

Coughing, Yan Sui said with a straight face: "Do you know why most of the people invited to this party are young people?" ”

"Didn't President Lin say that because the future of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is in the hands of young people, these good opportunities must be left to young people?"

Yan Sui shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The Chamber of Commerce wants to choose one person among the young people, not to pave the way for young people. It's because among the young people, there is a person who urgently needs this jade ruyi to improve his net worth and make himself stand firm. ”

Zhu Youning's brain was spinning, his long eyelashes flashed twice, and he said, "What are you talking about, is it Miss Cheng?" ”

"Clever." Yan Sui said, "Although Miss Cheng also came out early, she is a female streamer, although she is not young, she is really not the highest status in this generation." Think about it again, what are the fringe benefits that Jade Ruyi brings? ”

"The Holy Chrysostom said that if you want to give the honor guard treatment of the earl level, even if you don't have a good fortune, I think it's strange, it's the honorary president that President Lin said." Zhu Youning told the truth.

Yan Sui looked at Zhu Youning's eyes full of appreciation, gave a thumbs up, and said, "You're right." Because Miss Cheng needs this identity. Mr. Cheng turned out to be the vice president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but now he is sick in bed, and he has no chance to open the scene for his daughter. Miss Cheng can inherit the family business, but she can't inherit the reputation outside, let alone inherit the position of vice president. ”

"So, they planned it?" Zhu Youning nodded and said, "I don't care, anyway, I know that I don't have that ability." But I'm curious why Yan Gongzi came to tell me this today? ”
