"Does this still have anything to do with the deputy city lord?" Liu Fan said in surprise.

The deputy city lord is a big man who is even more powerful than Fang Rui.

"Generally speaking, the city lord is naturally the supreme ruler of the coast, and the deputy city lord is also subject to the control of the city lord, but this deputy city lord has a very good background, the city lord can't control him at all, the two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and secretly they are even more evenly matched, He Wending and Meng Gang are close to the deputy city lord, and the two of us are closer to the city lord, once I am defeated at the martial arts conference, or even a fiasco, the city defense army will definitely shake the morale of the army, and then the other party will take the opportunity to fan the flames, whether the position of the commander of my city defense army can be maintained, it is not necessarily." Fang Rui spoke in a condensed voice.

"Our Cai family too, the reason why we can call for wind and rain in the coastal area is largely because of the support of the city lord, once I lose, or even be seriously injured, the prestige of the Cai family will definitely plummet, and even the authority of the city lord will be affected." Cai Lao also said with a calm face.

Liu Fan nodded secretly.

If Cai Lin and Fang Rui are defeated in the martial arts conference, the prestige of the coastal city lord will be damaged, but the prestige of the deputy city lord will rise sharply, and the city lord will be even more unable to suppress the deputy city lord and fall into a passive situation, which is not a good thing for the city lord, or Cai Lin and Fang Rui.

He can still figure out this logic.

"So what we are most afraid of now is that the mysterious master last night will stand on the other side's side and be our enemy, if he really wants to represent the other party in the martial arts conference, whether we are old or young, we have no chance of winning, that is the worst outcome." Fang Rui sighed softly again.

Fang Han was also a little worried.

He wasn't sure if the other party would participate.

However, Cai Rong'er and Cai Lin looked relaxed and were not worried.

Liu Fan was also silent.

"Little Divine Doctor, let's go to practice first, you can do it yourself." Cai Lin said to Liu Fan again, and then left with Fang Rui and Fang Han.

Now that the martial arts conference is about to be held, they must seize the time to practice and improve their strength as much as possible.

And in an environment with a pulse, the speed of cultivation will definitely be much faster.

Cai Rong'er saw that they were far away, so she looked at Liu Fan and asked, "Will you participate in the martial arts conference?" ”

"Yes." Liu Fan nodded.

"Also, you're so strong, it's a pity not to participate in the martial arts conference." Cai Rong'er shrugged her shoulders and said very regretfully: "It's a pity that I haven't had any talent for martial arts since I was a child, otherwise our Cai family wouldn't be the only one in my grandfather to support the scene." ”

"Everyone is different, so you don't have to regret it." Liu Fan shook his head and comforted.

"That's right." Cai Rong'er thought about it very much and said with a smile, but she was still a little sad in her heart.

At this moment, she was really envious of Qiao Ruxue.

Because, Liu Fan's purpose of going down the mountain is to protect Qiao Ruxue, and he can get the protection of this kid, which girl is not envious?

But it seems that he does not have this blessing.

At this time, her mobile phone suddenly rang.

After she heard the other party's words, she frowned slightly: "The people of the Xiao family came to the door again?" ”

When Liu Fan heard this, he immediately became vigilant.

The people of the Xiao family are not good people.

"Okay, I see, we can cooperate." Cai Rong'er commanded.

Then he hung up.

Liu Fan was a little puzzled: "Did the Xiao family look for you before?" ”

"Well, the Xiao family has contacted us before and wants to cooperate with us, but our Cai family has high requirements for the qualifications of partners in terms of business cooperation, and the Xiao family does not meet our requirements now, so they have always refused." Cai Rong'er nodded.

"Then why did you agree to cooperate again now?" Liu Fan was puzzled.

"What else can I refuse, just because of your relationship with Qiao Ruxue?" Cai Rong'er waved her hand.

Even if it is for Liu Fan's sake, she should give the Xiao family a face, who made Qiao Ruxue Xiao Hai's stepdaughter.

"And Qiao Ruxue has had a hard time all these years, and she has to worry about being sold by the Xiao family all the time, now give the Xiao family a little benefit, and they can also be kind to your little junior sister." Cai Rong'er teased.

Liu Fan also had nothing to say about this.

Because Cai Rong'er is telling the truth, Qiao Ruxue is really sad in the Xiao family, but there is no way to change the status quo for the time being, after all, Qiao Ruxue has been in the Xiao family for more than ten years, and it is not so easy to leave.

"Why don't we go to the company and have a look, it's okay anyway." Cai Rong'er smiled again.

"It's fine." Liu Fan thought about it and did not refuse.

He also wanted to see what tricks the Xiao family wanted to do.

He always felt that the Xiao family didn't have any good intentions this time.

Then the two of them drove to the headquarters building of the Cai Group.

At this moment in the building, Xiao Hai and the others were smiling, but the middle-aged man next to him was frowning.

"Mr. Xiao, the bottom line we can accept is that the price will be increased by one point, and you will increase it by ten points at once, which is a bit too much." Lin Shangkun said bluntly, his expression was a little ugly and a little angry.

If it was changed before, the people of the Xiao family came to the door to seek cooperation, he would not have looked at it, and just blew out, but Xiao Hai said that his daughter was pregnant with the child of a VIP of the Cai family, although he didn't believe it, he still had to come forward to meet him, just in case.

In this coastal realm, there are very few people who can become the guests of the Cai family, and the gold content is very high, for this kind of person, he naturally does not dare to offend, so he would rather believe it.

He called the eldest lady to inquire before, but the eldest lady said that she would cooperate with the Xiao family, which also confirmed Xiao Hai's words from the side, and also made him even more afraid to slack off.

But Xiao Hai's conditions are too excessive, generally speaking, in order to cooperate for a long time, their Cai family will appropriately increase the price of each other's products on the basis of the market price, often 0.5 points, and make profits appropriately, and for the Xiao family, they decided to raise one point, which is already very sincere, but the people of the Xiao family are extremely greedy, and they even want to raise ten points, which is simply a robbery!

If he hadn't had any concerns, he would have been a hit.

Xiao Hai and Xiao Cheng glanced at each other, and said lightly: "Mr. Lin, I think you should also know the relationship between our Xiao family and the Cai family, so how can you treat us with other people's prices?" ”

Lin Shangkun held back the anger in his heart and explained: "This is our business cooperation, not charity, you have to think about our profits." ”

He was very angry, but he had to be patient.

"I calculated, once this business is negotiated, your Cai family will still make money." Xiao Hai said fearlessly.

Anyway, he has a trump card in his hand, so he naturally wants to make a lot of money, and as for how much the Cai family can earn, he doesn't care.

"Don't go too far." Lin Shangkun clenched his fists and said indignantly.

Xiao Cheng said slowly: "Mr. Lin, what you said is not right, our family Ruxue is the fiancée of the Cai family's VIPs, if you are not sincere enough to make Ruxue angry and accidentally hurt the child in the belly, then the sin is great, can you afford it?" ”

When Lin Shangkun heard this, he was furious in his heart.

How dare the other party threaten themselves?

However, he really can't afford such a responsibility, once the child in Qiao Ruxue's belly really has something long and short, he will be really unlucky.
