Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 29

Many things have changed suddenly.

It seemed as if one morning had passed, and Shi Yue had transformed from a hard-working and debt-ridden girl who was cared for by everyone, to the upright and upright No. [-] jade owner of Stone Street.So much so that when the girl hurried to the place designated by the Department of Culture and Tourism to greet today's Lingshan tourists, the neighbors' greetings contained a hint of respect.

To outsiders, these changes may seem like trivial differences in tone, but to people living on Stone Street, this extra bit of respect is crucial.

It's so important that many people can't sit still.

At noon, Lao Hong’s home-cooked food on Stone Street was as crowded as ever.

On a square table near the main entrance, two people were sitting facing each other.The man is about [-] years old, wearing an exquisite silk shirt, with a wooden box and a jade vase hanging on his waist. He looks like a lotus emerging from the mud but not stained. He is obviously incompatible with the impetuous market temperament around him.

"I still don't understand."

The young man frowned, put down his chopsticks, and allowed the flawless oil-fried double crisp on the plate to gradually cool down, but he still couldn't help but curiously asked his companion.

"That little girl took over the position of Jade Master so easily? Just because she paid off a mere 120 million yuan in debt on time?"

The friend sitting opposite him was a wealthy middle-aged man in a green hat and white coat. He grinned when he heard this: "A mere 120 million? Only Mr. Bo can say such a thing. In a poor place like our Stone Street, There is only one person in a hundred who can come up with 120 million spiritual leaves, let alone cash."

"Even if you pick one out of a thousand, you can pick out hundreds out of hundreds of thousands of people in Stone Street. Why can she be the Jade Master?"

The middle-aged man said: "Mr. Bo, the Jinlanwu where you work is a well-known large bank in Rongcheng. The employees in the dock are all middle-grade golden elixir graduates from various prestigious academies. But such a group of elites, Don’t you still have to obey that Gu Xiaoniang’s orders?”

Mr. Bo laughed: "Gu Xi's father, Gu Cangsheng, is the second boss of Bolan Village. He has been acquainted with the big boss Yu Wannian for eight years. There is also a quasi-Nascent Soul elder who retired from Jinlu Hall in his family. When facing the little princess of the Gu family, How can those jingle Jindan people dare to say anything? But who is Shi Yue’s father? "

The middle-aged man said: "Shi Xiu Sheng is a bad gambler who has accomplished nothing, but his surname is Shi after all."

"Even if the Shi family has nothing?"

"But they still have history and tradition." The middle-aged man said, taking a piece of waist flower that had cooled down slightly and putting it into his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he said, "You may not know that Shi Xiu Sheng did not officially inherit the throne. Jade Talisman, but as a quasi-jade master, he could borrow more than a million spiritual leaves from his neighbors... At that time, it was well known that he was a bad gambler and was in deep debt. But people were still willing to pay! Take out all the coffins you have hidden in the porcelain jar and give them to him! Even later, when Shi Yue took the initiative to take over the debt, few of the neighbors were willing to go there to collect the debt! This is the advantage of having the surname Shi. If it were other people, Home, how can such a good thing be so cheap?”

"Even if it's Boss Zhang, won't it work?"

"Haha, if it were me, Zhang Yu, people would definitely come here to add insult to injury and pay interest to me. After all, I am the person in the entire Stone Street who is most contrary to tradition."

"Going in the opposite direction?" Mr. Bo was a little curious, "Where is the going in the opposite direction?"

"Number one, I have more money than any of them."

Mr. Bo nodded: "Indeed, even in the entire Rong City, your wealth ranks around twenty, and you are far ahead in Shijie. So, going in the opposite direction just because you are rich, does it mean that the people in Shijie hate the rich? "

Zhang Yu added: "The second thing is to frequently dine at the same table with elites from the upper city like you."

Mr. Bo then laughed: "So it's me who is dragging Boss Zhang down?"

"No, it's a blessing if you don't blame Shijie for dragging down the whole Rongcheng."

"Of course not. Although Stone Street has many unique features, it is still part of Rongcheng. In fact, in such a big city, how can there be two identical blocks? As long as you are willing to obey the overall situation and serve the overall interests of Rongcheng, If it’s important, there won’t be any drag or drag.”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he even sighed: "Master Bo really understands righteousness, but it's a pity..." Master Bo said: "There is no need to be pity. Boss Zhang, please rest assured that civilization is the general trend, and those who follow the trend will prosper and those who go against will prosper. Regional traditions are good, and occasionally No superior Jade Master should or can stop the progress of civilization. In short, I look forward to cooperating with Boss Zhang in the civilized Stone Street in the future."

Then, Mr. Bo looked around and asked curiously: "Boss Zhang chooses this restaurant every time he eats, but what's the point?"

Zhang Yu said: "To be honest, I don't like this restaurant. The boss is a very eccentric person, and the few part-time workers don't know what's good or bad... But the craftsmanship of this restaurant is unparalleled in Shijie. So I will often force myself to come." , as a businessman, you only need to recognize the good and the bad, the profit and loss, and endure the rest even if you hold your nose. I often say this to myself and to my children. In Stone Street, this is what business is about."

Mr. Bo nodded.

Zhang Yu added: "The second thing is a little personal quirk. You see, every time I go out alone, I will wear this green hat. There is a misty barrier attached to the green jade on the hat, which can be used to create a barrier within three meters of the body. People who have nothing to do with us just treat us as ordinary passers-by, and our conversations are just noise..."

Mr. Bo nodded again: "Yes, Shangjing Pavilion only customized the green hat for Sanqing-level customers. It has simple functions, but it is very suitable for scenes where big men are walking in the market. If it weren't for this green hat, I would not dare to agree to be with him. You come here to eat and chat.”

Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Every time I eat happily and talk freely with others in such a noisy small restaurant, but the people around me are ignorant of all this, I can really feel that, I am a genuine stone street jade master. I was born in stone street and made my fortune in stone street. This is a reality that cannot be changed. Even if one day I really stand on the stage in your uptown area, the people in the audience will definitely still laugh at me. With a Shijie accent, they say that I am as good as a monkey."

Mr. Bo also smiled and did not deny it.

"But this is fine, people can't forget their origins, and I am very satisfied with my origins." As he said this, the richest man in Shijie, whose net worth ranks among the top [-] in Rongcheng, bowed slightly to the young master in front of him. Headed.

Mr. Bo did not accept it. He stood up, returned the gift, and then said: "I can't bear Boss Zhang's gift, but for Boss Zhang's attitude, I can say thank you on behalf of Jinlanwu. Then Boss Zhang can look forward to the rest." Good news, your efforts for Stone Street will not be let down."

Zhang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "With Jinlanwu's help, I feel relieved! By the way, Mr. Bo, regarding the matter of determining the famine..."

The smile on Mr. Bo's face froze in an instant. He put his index finger on his lips and said, "Some things cannot be discussed unless they are within the regulated area."

Zhang Yu was a little puzzled and held his green hat: "This is my home court for the time being. No one can hear our conversation."

"I know, to put it bluntly, even if I can't trust Boss Zhang, I can't question the craftsmanship of Shangjing Pavilion. Shangjing is so blind that even Qingping's Qingyi can't see through it. This is actually a bit against the law. But in short Rules are rules, and I wouldn’t dare make a mistake in something like this.”

Zhang Yu was a little disappointed: "It's true, it's true. You will naturally know some things when you need to know them."

"Yes, you will know when you should know, and that day should not be far away, Boss Zhang."

After saying that, Mr. Bo stood up first, and until his back melted into the crowd of people on Stone Street, not a single bite of the food on the table was touched.

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, conscientiously ate all the food for two people before asking the clerk to pay the bill.

"Hello, there are 310 spiritual leaves in total."

Zhang Yu took out a green bamboo, counted 310 spiritual leaves on the table, pondered for a moment, added 10 more spiritual leaves as a reward, and left without looking back.

Wang Luo, who was wearing shop assistant clothes, couldn't help but laugh after carefully putting away the spiritual leaves.

He didn't use any obstacles and always showed his true colors, but the two absent-minded diners didn't notice at all that the laborer who served them tea and food was none other than Wang Luo, a newcomer from Nanxiang who was well-known on Stone Street.

Of course, it may also be that for these two big shots, the newcomers from Nanxiang are simply not worthy of being judged.So when discussing how Shi Yue came to power, they never mentioned that the girl had a fatherly boss.He didn't even notice that his loving father was right next to him while he was eating and chatting.

It can be seen that no matter what the fairy barrier craftsmanship is, it can't be as blind as blind ignorance.
