The appearance and disappearance of the Seal Stone were equally sudden. Only half a day later, the mysterious sealing stone was intercepted by a group of black-clothed masked men.

Tang Han, Curly Hair, and several co-workers who found the sealing stone, Professor Shi Wen of Wenzong University, and Jian Shibo's appraiser were also intercepted by several other groups of unidentified people.

On the surface, there seemed to be calm in Linhai City, and nothing had happened.

However, at the level of the wealthy and noble, an invisible earthquake is sweeping wildly:

"The seal stone of the Coastal Kingdom was found on the square in front of Hongxiang. Before being intercepted, Professor Shi Wen had gone to the site to investigate, and according to the burial location of the sub-stone, it was concluded that the sealing mother stone was very likely to be in the Hongxiang East Campus. ”

"When Emperor Chu established Linhai City, it is very likely that he discovered the clues of the treasure house of the Coastal Kingdom. ”

"The Sealing Mother Stone cannot be forcibly broken, it must be opened by specific means after natural corrosion, otherwise the treasure house will be scattered into the cracks of the heterotopic plane. ”

"A complete coastal treasure trove can buy the country of Great Chu. The winner is a truly rich country. ”

"No wonder Xu Jialin wants to acquire Hongxiang's land by unscrupulous means, no wonder military commanders and hermit sects have appeared one after another. ”

In the secret rooms of many nobles and wealthy families, solemn oaths are being staged.

"Tu Xiyuan, you led the twelve children of the family, as well as the fifty sons of the family, all of whom applied for the Hongxiang examination. Sixty of them changed their names and woke up, and they acted secretly to find out where the sealing mother stone was. ”

"Yes, Ancestor!"

"Teng Jiao, Teng Ao, you take twenty young Teng's secret guards to fill in Hongxiang. Watch out for hidden identities and find out if the Marina Treasure really exists. ”

"Obey!

"Family master, if Linhai City is really built for coastal treasures, aren't we making enemies of Emperor Chu by doing this?"

"What are you afraid of? The imperial power and the aristocracy have always been antagonistic and cooperative. Besides, don't blame the public, we Tengjia just need a piece of the pie, don't think about monopolizing, understand?"

"Yes!

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and soon the black and white forces also got the news.

"Nailhead, numb face, notify all the school-age candidates under the Hammerhead Gang to apply for Hongxiang. Tell them that as long as someone finds the news of the sealing stone and the treasure, there will be a thousand bounty coins, and all the relatives in the gang will be promoted to the third level. ”

"Yes, helper!"

"Helper, what if you find out that someone's relative is the head of the hall? Do you want to give him the helper?"

"If I can really get the treasure, I will definitely buy a piece of land and become the emperor myself. Do you care about this gang leader?"

"The helper has lofty ambitions, admiration and admiration. ”

"Ninth brother, inform all 16 to 19-year-old junior candidates of the mercenary group to apply for Hongxiang. Discover the clues of the Seal Stone and report it as soon as possible. There will be a great reward. ”

"Yes, Commander. Can I also take the exam?"

"You, you'd better wait two years for your son to go. ”

"Two years? The daylilies are cold. ”

For a time, Linhai City was surging. Even some nearby cities received the news and began to implement infiltration plans.

In less than a week, the number of fresh college entrance examination candidates who applied for Hongxiang had exceeded 10,000.

The number of commissions, recommendations, and self-funded students has skyrocketed, and the number of applications has reached nearly 40,000.

However, due to the restrictions of the admissions office, and at the same time, we have learned the lessons of the last admissions. Hongxiang has adopted a very strict screening system.

Except for the 1,000 students who did not drop out, the ratio of non-gaokao candidates to the selection was only about 10 to 1.

The students who dropped out of school were so relieved that their bowels were cleared and they asked to return to school.

Principal Li waved his hand: "Do you think Hongxiang is a public toilet? We are very magnanimous, and if we want to go back to school, we will retest. ”

At the same time, Principal Li also gave instructions to the teachers in charge of the test:

"In the test, Hongxiang loyalty, all those who have left school will be deducted 50 points. If the overall score is passing, it can be considered. ”

Teacher: "Principal, how do you pass a total score of 100, minus 50?"

Principal Li: "Well, that seems like a problem. You follow this first, and I'll go back and think about it, and wait for ten days and eight days. ”

With a wave of his robe, he walked away gently, without taking a cloud with him.

In the conference room of Yida Group, the atmosphere is solemn.

Xu Jialin half-closed his eyes, sat on the chair, and did not say a word.

Several high-level members of the group have spoken one after another, but there is not much creativity except for "public rumors" and "increasing black Hongxiang".

Lian Yunlu's face was gloomy, Yang Ruo's matter made him secretly despised by many colleagues, and he didn't seem to care much about this. But repeatedly made mistakes in Hongxiang's acquisition, and Lian Yunlu felt that his position was about to be unstable.

At this time, Fu Xianjue, the head of the eastern part of the group, made a speech with gorgeous rhetoric but no substance, and suddenly pointed the finger at Lian Yunlu, who was in charge of Hongxiang's affairs: "Lian Secretary, what do you think about Hongxiang's discovery of the secret treasure of the Binhai Kingdom this time? What other good way can you take down Hongxiang?"

Lian Yunlu pondered for a moment and said calmly: "I think most of the things about the coastal secret treasure are not true, and there should be a master layout." But this matter has spread so much that we don't have a good way to do it for the time being. ”

Fu Xianjue said in a strange manner: "Lian Dabi said this, are you going to stop or what?"

Lian Yunlu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Mr. Xu, we have lost the lead in Hongxiang, and it is not appropriate to forcibly acquire it for the time being, I suggest that we wait for this rumor to pass before making plans." ”

Xiao Fuze, the governor of the western region, said loudly: "In the past five years, we Yida have invested so many resources and energy, and according to the Lian Secretary, we have given up in vain?"

"Speculation naturally has losses and gains, and if you don't let go in time, the losses will only be greater. Lian Yunlu calmed down.

Fu Xianjue was about to make a sarcastic remark. Xu Jialin suddenly raised his hand. There was an instant silence in the room.

Xu Jialin sat up straight, opened his eyes and swept the faces of everyone in the meeting. Several executives quickly sat upright and straightened their backs.

Coughing slightly, Xu Jialin said: "Hongxiang's matter does not need to be discussed, and the group will have major good news announced two days later." Let's go back and wait for the good news. Adjourned!"

Several executives stood up and saluted, then exited the conference room in twos and threes.

Xu Jialin motioned for Lian Yunlu to close the door, and then said to Lian Yunlu who walked back and stood in front of him:

"Yunlu, do you understand today? Who are these 'loyal' subordinates of mine?"

Lian Yunlu nodded and said, "Boss, these people are not of the same mind as us. ”

"Hey, hey. The group of people under me, including the **** bigwig's Ma Zai, the sons of the wealthy, and the spokespersons of the rich, are all here for my Xu someone's ability to make money. Xu Jialin smiled and said:

"If someone Xu's business suddenly goes wrong one day, the first person to turn against the water must be this group. ”

Lian Yunlu couldn't help but say: "What about the old brothers who fought the world with the boss back then? I often heard the legend of Yida Seven Dragons, but I came in too late and never saw it." ”

Xu Jialin sighed lightly: "Yida Seven Dragons? My group of old brothers can share weal and woe, but they can't share wealth and prosperity." Now there is no such name on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes, boss, Yunlu is presumptuous!"

"Yunlu, you have been here in Yida for eight years, and you have always been loyal. I have always regarded you as my nephew, and in the future, the authority of Yida Group will be handed over to you. You have to be competitive. ”

Lian Yunlu's face showed a look of surprise and emotion appropriately: "Thank you boss, for taking a fancy to you." ”

Tapping the corner of the conference table with his index finger, Xu Jialin said: "Yang Ruo's matter, on the one hand, is a test, on the other hand, a woman like Yang Ruo is not a good match. It is necessary to know that it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night. How many inheritances have been lost in the hands of such women. ”

"Yunlu, if you want to achieve great things, you must know, endure, and be willing, understand?"

Lian Yunlu bowed his head and said, "Yes, boss, Yunlu understands." ”

Xu Jialin said with a smile: "The boss is too angry, when there is no one, you can call me Uncle Xu." ”

"It's... Uncle Xu!" Lian Yunlu looked up and said in surprise.

"Very well, you prepare the carriage for me, I'm going to meet someone. ”

"Yes, old... Uncle Xu. I don't know who Uncle Xu wants to meet?"

"I'm going to Hongxiang to meet the young man named Wen Guo. ”

"Understood, Uncle Xu. (To be continued.) )
