Chapter 14: The Master of the Misguided Hall
Cui Yun glanced at the venue and roughly calculated the number of participants, which was not much different from the number of participants he expected.
At this time, everyone who should have come should have come, and if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to come.
Today is Cui Yun's big day, and the excitement in his heart is always difficult to suppress, and near the opening, negative emotions such as nervousness and worry come one after another.
Walking into the backyard, Cui Yun found Elder Jin who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and said in a low voice: "Elder, the time is almost up, what else do you think you have to instruct?"
Jin Enming shook his head: "The entire press conference is in charge of you, so I won't express my opinion!"
A hint of unnaturalness flashed on Cui Yun's face: "Thank you Elder for your trust." ”
Jin Enming smiled slightly: "It's a good thing for young people to be self-motivated, and Hall Master Cui just has to let it go, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it's an experience." ”
Cui Yun was a little confused, what did he mean by this, and hurriedly asked, "I also ask the elder to mention something." ”
Jin Enming said lightly: "I am only responsible for the guards of the Hongtou Mountain Mine, and the rest of the affairs of the Western Wilderness are in charge of Hall Master Cui. Since the sect has such a division of labor, some things still have to be avoided. ”
Cui Yun hurriedly said: "The elder is serious, the disciple is young and knowledgeable, and he has to rely on the elder to help him more." ”
Jin Enming hooked the corners of his mouth: "Since you have said this, then how many words will the old man say?"
Cui Yun nodded.
Jin Enming said: "I heard someone say a few days ago that someone bought rough stones on credit in Yifang City, did Hall Master Cui know the reason?"
Cui Yun was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "The disciples in the hall have also talked about this matter, but I have been busy with the press conference and have not asked carefully, but I heard that the Stone Master Association is investigating this matter, and there should be no results for the time being." ”
Jin Enming shook his head: "The hall master is careless!"
Cui Yun asked blankly: "This matter is related to our press conference?"
Jin Enming smiled slightly: "Maybe it's related, maybe it's not related, the old man's words are all here, the hall master can do it himself!"
Cui Yun wanted to say something, but when he saw that Jin Enming had closed his eyes, he could only retreat in confusion.
Walking into the venue, Cui Yun glanced at a disciple who was running the conference, and the disciple hurriedly followed him to a no-man's land outside the venue.
Cui Yun said in a low voice: "What happened to the original stone on credit in the city a few days ago, you can tell me in detail." ”
The disciple recalled a little and then said: "The wronged boss surnamed Wu who appeared in the last public auction took the two of them to buy the rough stone on credit in the city, and he was generous and bid very high. Although the payment was made the next day, there was never any arrears. ”
"What else?" asked Cui Yun.
The disciple was a little helpless, he had clearly reported this matter to Cui Yun before, but Cui Yun was busy with his political achievements at that time, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and now he asked again, he could only answer it again.
"The three of them spent hundreds of millions of spirit stones in more than ten days, many people think that there is a problem here, but they don't know what the problem is, and the Stone Master Association is even more anxious about it, and I heard that it has begun to investigate. ”
"The result?" Cui Yun was a little anxious.
The disciple shook his head: "Not long after the Stone Master Association launched the investigation, those three people stopped purchasing the rough stones, and the results of the investigation may only be known to the Stone Master Association. ”
"You didn't ask?" Cui Yun raised his eyes.
The disciple smiled bitterly: "I've been running the meeting by the side of the hall master for the past few days, where can I find time to investigate?"
"You ......" Cui Yun suddenly remembered what he said when he transferred this disciple two days ago: Put everything in your hands and put everything on the press conference!
"Forget it!" Cui Yun sighed dejectedly.
Seeing this, the disciple was a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "Although there is no result, I have heard people within the Stone Master Association say that when these people just started to buy antiques on credit, Elder Jin of my sect consulted the Stone Master Association on this matter, and the association quickly launched an investigation under the advice of Elder Jin. Otherwise, with the efficiency of the Stone Master Association, I don't know when I will be able to notice this. I think Elder Jin might have some understanding of this matter. ”
"Elder Jin?" Cui Yun's eyes flashed with doubt: "Why did Elder Jin pay attention to that person surnamed Wu early?"
The disciple shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I just saw the person surnamed Wu coming to the venue, he is a stone master, it should be an invitation sent to him by the Stone Master Association." ”
"The one surnamed Wu is here?" Cui Yun's mind was filled with information, and suddenly an inspiration flashed by.
If he remembered correctly, it was Elder Jin who casually suggested that he could let the Stone Master Association invite the top ten Stone Masters from previous exchange meetings to help warm up, and he could also apply for some resources from the sect as rewards.
How could Cui Yun have thought of so much at that time, just as it was a good thing, he acted accordingly, and Elder Jin also got a valuable prize as promised.
Thinking about it now, as early as that time, Elder Jin had already set his sights on that person surnamed Wu.
"What does the person surnamed Wu look like?" Cui Yun asked again, he wanted to see if there was any wronged leader among the people he received this morning.
"It's easy to recognize!" the disciple nodded hurriedly: "He's almost nine feet tall, as long as he sees it, he'll definitely recognize it." ”
Cui Yun thought about it for a while, and the whole person froze. He remembered that there was indeed a person with an exaggerated figure who came in, and the most frightening thing was that the person came with Yang Gong!
Cui Yun understood, it turned out to be Elder Jin who was doing something!
It was Elder Jin who made a trick and brought the surnamed Wu and Yang Gong to the press conference, in order to embarrass himself on this most important day for himself.
Cui Yun is very familiar with this kind of method of rectifying people, he has come all the way to his current position, I don't know how many such things have been done, who ever wanted to fight geese all day long, but today he was pecked by geese!
Recalling the reason for the incident, Cui Yun somewhat regretted it, because he was the first to make a black hand to Jin Enming.
After the battle of Hongtou Mountain, Jin Enming didn't know why he had to stay in Hongtou Mountain and not leave, he was an elder in his infancy and didn't leave, how did you let Cui Yun, who was the hall master, deal with himself?
So Cui Yun used his relationship with Elder Tan to forcibly deprive Jin Enming, an outsider, of all his powers, and only let him be responsible for the defense of Hongtou Mountain.
Cui Yun thought that he would be retaliated, but he never thought that the revenge would come so quickly and so hidden.
Thinking about it just now, Jin Enming pretended to remind himself to be careful, but he didn't make it clear, Cui Yun became more and more resentful in his heart.
The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, and Xiang Cui Yun, a person who lives by the whole person, can only see this step.
Jin Enming really doesn't look down on a villain like Cui Yun, but he really doesn't have the leisure to take care of such a garbage, if he knows Cui Yun's psychological activities, I believe he will definitely smile and say: By the way!
The press conference is about to open, and Cui Yun has no way to retreat, so he can only grit his teeth and cheer himself up: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun! I want to see what tricks you old bastard wants to play with me today!"
。。。。。。
In the venue, the guests were already seated.
The names on the backs of the front rows of chairs in the middle are all big people with heads and faces.
For a person of Qian Yang's level, it would be good to be able to mix a plastic chair in the last few rows.
Fortunately, Qian Yang and the others didn't pick and choose, so they simply found a few seats in the corner of the last row, next to the curtain, and the three of them were crowded shoulder to shoulder.
The waiting time was a bit long, and just when the patience of a room full of people was about to run out, the Cui Hall Master of the Duobao Sect was late.
Standing on the rostrum, Hall Master Cui is still quite stylish.
With just the right smile on his face, Hall Master Cui first bowed his head and greeted: "The press conference of the new mine in Hongtoushan is about to begin, thank you for coming, and those who have not yet taken a seat should hurry up and take a seat!"
As soon as this side opened, the noise in the house also fell, everyone was a person with status, and no one wanted to do that bad thing.
Hall Master Cui looked around the field, raised his hand and pointed to the corner behind him, and said with a smile: "Don't stand that fellow Daoist in the back!
As soon as they heard this, many people followed Hall Master Cui's gaze and looked back, and Wu Qingshui in the corner suddenly felt countless eyes, and he was a little surprised for a while.
Subconsciously looked to the side, Wu Qingshui suddenly found that Qian Yang and Yang Gong beside him were also looking at him.
Stretching out his finger and pointing to his nose, Wu Qingshui shouted at Hall Master Cui aggrievedly, "You say me, I'm sitting!"
As soon as these words came out, the room burst into laughter.
Wu Qingshui did sit there all the time, but because he was too tall and his upper body was too long, he was obviously half a cut taller than others when he sat there, and it didn't look like he was standing from the front.
Hall Master Cui didn't feel embarrassed at all, and laughed: "Master Wu has an amazing figure, it is indeed best to use it to adjust the atmosphere, if there is any offense, the master forgive me!"
Wu Qingshui had a stiff smile on his face, but he was secretly scolding in his heart: "Isn't it fun to use the master to adjust the atmosphere?
Hall Master Cui had already shifted his target without a trace at this time, and teased the amazing face of a beautiful female monk in the front row, as if he was really playing with Master Wu just now.
Yang Gong sneered below: "He is deliberately provoking. ”
"I think he did it on purpose!" Wu Qingshui said hatefully.
Qian Yang didn't think so, and said casually: "He has an enmity with you, what is he provoking Lao Wu to do?"
Yang Gong shook his head: "Who knows, but I saw the bad water in his stomach from the eyes." ”
Master Cui talked a few idle paragraphs in front of him, and finally turned to the topic:
"Today is the day when my Hongtoushan Mine gambling stone is listed, and I would like to invite all Taoist friends to gather here, in order to let everyone have a deeper understanding of our Hongtoushan specialties, so as to benefit each other in future exchanges. ”
There were a few sparse responses below.
Master Cui smiled politely, and then said: "First of all, I must solemnly explain to you that the reason why the Hongtoushan Mine has only started mining in recent years is not because the quality of the rough stones in the Hongtoushan Mine is not as good as those old farms, but because due to geographical conditions, the mining of the Hongtoushan Mine is relatively difficult, the mining efficiency is very low, and the output is extremely limited, so it has been selectively forgotten. ”
There was a faint exchange of words below, and it was obvious that everyone had some doubts about what Hall Master Cui said.
Hall Master Cui paused for a moment, and only then did he continue to say that he shifted his attention to him again: "I know that you may have some doubts about this, but it doesn't matter, I have prepared a lot of rough stones from the Red Tho Mountain for you today, and all of you here are clear-eyed people, as long as you look at it, you can know whether what you say is true or false!"
As soon as the words fell, Cui Tang's master waved his hand, and pieces of rough stones of different shapes were placed on the rostrum.
