This night's three watches, the atrium——

Although he was still confused and didn't know what was going on, Ye Chaoxiao still chose to come to the garden of the atrium of this mansion with Bai Yanruo, and next to a huge strange stone, he saw several familiar figures, Xiang Bucai, Xiao Yihan and Ling Xiaozhi, but Lou Yuqing did not appear here.

"Lao Bai, why did you bring your junior brother here, this is not the place where he should come. Xiao Yihan saw Ye Chaoxiao, who was still a little restrained behind Bai Yanruo, and said with some complaints. Although he didn't know what was going on, his intuition told him that this matter would not be simple, so it was best not to get involved in people who had nothing to do with these things, which was also an important reason why he didn't let Lou Yuqing come with him.

"Senior Xiao, I forgot to tell you, classmate Ye Chaoxiao didn't come with Senior Bai, he was also invited this time, and now everyone is ready, let's come in and talk." Xiang Bucai said with a smile, then turned around and knocked three times on the huge strange stone, which actually opened a door, and behind this stone door was a secret passage that looked very long. Under the leadership of Xiang Bucai, everyone passed through the stone gate one after another, and walked downward, and when the last Ye Chaoxiao passed through the stone gate, the stone gate was immediately closed, and everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"Not many people in the Xiang family know about this secret room, so we can speak with confidence. After walking some distance along the secret passage, everyone was greeted by a large secret room with a table and several seats. Xiang Bucai sat down first, and then said slowly to the few people behind him.

"So, what does the Dongji Chamber of Commerce, or Xiangjia, want us to do?"

Before Xiang Bu could say his abacus, Xiao Yihan took the lead in speaking, although he was not as good as Ling Xiaozhi and others when it came to calculations, but naturally he was not stupid, and he easily knew the secret of the jade card, and thus knew the Dongji Chamber of Commerce, no, it should be said that it was Xiang Jia's intentions.

"I'm sorry to bring you here, but there's no way around it...... To cut a long story short, I hope you will help Xiang Jia to maintain his position as president of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce. ”

“！”

Xiang Bucai's words were like a shock, everyone present was shocked by this sentence, they had also imagined various reasons before, but they didn't expect it to be such a conclusion. You must know that the Xiang family is one of the founders of the Dongji Chamber of Commerce, and the chair of the president of the Dongji Chamber of Commerce has been held by the Xiang family for a hundred years. Whether it is strength or financial resources, the Xiang family is also a well-deserved top family, such a family will not be able to keep its position in the Dongji Chamber of Commerce, what is even more incredible is that this kind of thing, the Xiang family will actually ask a few of their students of the Qizhong Academy for help!

"Yes, I know the doubts in your minds, but do you know...... Why is this Xiang family's mansion so deserted?" It seems that he had expected the surprise of several people, Xiang Bucai continued unhurriedly, and at this time, everyone suddenly realized that the strange sense of disobedience in the Xiang family's mansion was extremely incompatible with this luxurious and extremely decorated, and they didn't see a few people at all!

"Because now in the entire Xiang family, there are only two people, Xiang and his father...... I've always been a single family member, so it's normal for people not to prosper. However, ......" Xiang Bu said this, which seemed to be a little difficult to say, but he only paused for a moment before speaking again:

"However, my father was seriously injured because of some accidents more than ten years ago, although his cultivation was not completely wasted, but it was greatly reduced, although he still held the position of president of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce, but the actual power was gradually controlled by other forces. The Xiang family originally controlled more than half of the shares of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce, and now it is less than thirty percent, a few days ago, other forces attacked the father again, wanting to take the opportunity to replace the position of the Xiang family, although their conspiracy failed, but my Xiang family's position in the East Pole Chamber of Commerce is also precarious.

In order to solve this dilemma, I held this auction privately in the name of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce, and with the help of my Xiang family's forces, I sent invitations to the elite children of the major forces in the East Pole Domain, in order to develop relationships with these elite disciples through this auction, so as to obtain the connections between the major sect families and the Xiang family behind them, so as to obtain their support...... Gaining a greater advantage in the internal elections of the Chamber of Commerce in a year later is the long-term plan of this auction. ”

"The plan is indeed good, compared to inviting the major forces and wealthy families to come directly, this method is more secretive, and these elite disciples will become the mainstay of these forces in the future, and there is really no harm in establishing a good relationship with them now. However, as you just said, this is a long-term plan, and the so-called long-term plan, which is to put a long line to catch a big fish, needs enough time to support it - I want to know what is the benefit of this thing in the short term, and why us. After listening to Xiang Bucai's statement, Ling Xiaozhi took the lead in getting out of the shock, quickly grasped the key point in his words, and asked Xiang Bucai rhetorically. I have to say that everything about what happened to Xiang's family really surprised everyone present, and the plan conceived by Xiang Bucai was indeed very thoughtful, but it always felt like something was missing.

"Senior Ling is really powerful, which is why I specially invited all the seniors to come over...... As we all know, due to its special nature, the Dongji Chamber of Commerce should remain neutral in any situation, but it is different for the Xiangjia alone. On the one hand, the ashram and the forces that support it are basically on the opposite side of the interests of the Xiang family. On the other hand, I am also a student of Shichizhongin, so it is natural that I will think about it when I think about interests. Xiang Bucai said with a smile, but anyone could feel the heaviness in his squinting eyes, and as he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his storage ring and placed it on the table in front of him.

"This piece of paper is the auction items at the auction every day, and I have sketched out the key auction items...... To put it bluntly, I need you to auction these lots and send them back to Qizhongin...... It's not convenient for other people to do this kind of thing, and only the seniors can do it with confidence. Naturally, in order to facilitate the success of the auction, the jade plaque that was given to you before has been recharged with one million gold coins. ”

"It's a good idea to get enough treasures for the Seven Loyal Academy to train students through the auction, in the hope of achieving better results in the East Pole Domain Competition in a year's time, and on the other hand, to get enough money to run the business through this auction. Bai Yanruoyi sighed as he picked up the piece of paper that Xiang Bu took out, and the key treasures outlined on it were all priceless treasures, such a scheming at such an age, and such an extraordinary ability to appreciate treasures. This made Xiang Bucai's evaluation in Bai Yanruo's heart improve a lot again, and it was also a shame that Xiang Bucai was on the side of Qizhongyuan, otherwise, if there was such an opponent, it would be really terrible.
