Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 31
After bidding farewell to Boss Luo, Wang Luo returned to Shi Mansion. Shi Yue had been waiting in the inner courtyard for a long time.

Judging from the tired look on the girl's face, she really didn't have a happy day.

Becoming the Jade Master of Stone Street can only improve her status in Stone Street, but it obviously cannot improve the quality of tourists to Lingshan recruited by Wenyou Si Zhaotang.From the expression on her face that looked like she had been wounded by a ruthless cow, it was easy to see that she had once again reenacted the tragedy of the day they first met...

And when she returned home, she received new bad news, which inevitably made her physically and mentally exhausted.

"Lord Mountain Master, I have heard about the picture scroll transaction. Luo Xiao is in a very bad situation now. He borrowed his cash from someone to advance it to us. If he is really found to have violated the law, he will go bankrupt immediately. , that small station may also be permanently sealed."

Wang Luo nodded. Although Luo Xiao didn't say these words just now, they were actually obvious.

Shi Yue added: "There has never been such a precedent in Shijie for enforcing the law. He is obviously implicated by me, so I must not stand idly by."

Wang Luo asked: "What are you going to do?"

Shi Yue said: "As the Jade Master of Shijie, I want to see the local Simushi, who is the actual person in charge of Qingping Division in Shijie, to see what he has to say. Although I went there in my capacity , most of them are just humiliating themselves, but they have to fight for it anyway. If it really doesn’t work, the worst case scenario is to implement the original plan, sell the house, and help Boss Luo pay the bills first..."

"Wrong." Wang Luo corrected, "If you encounter a problem that you cannot handle in the future, you should ask others for help as soon as possible."

Shi Yue smiled bitterly: "So I came to the mountain master for help."

"Okay, I will visit Qingpingsi tomorrow morning, but don't be idle. Take this opportunity to meet Zhang Yu."

"Zhang Yu?" Shi Yue realized something after hearing this, "The mountain owner suspects that he is behind this?"

"Yes."

Then, Wang Luo briefly explained what he saw while working at noon, which made Shi Yue look solemn and a little confused.

"Zhang Yu...why? I know he has thoughts about the jade talisman in my hand, but is it necessary to go to this point? Colluding with Qingpingsi to punish the neighbors will only further worsen his reputation in the local area, Chunchun It’s counterproductive!”

"Tell me about Zhang Yu."

"Ah, okay!" Shi Yue was startled, and quickly took up his duties as a tour guide again and introduced Wang Luo to the life of the richest man in Shijie.

Zhang Yu is an authentic native of Stone Street. He was born in Stone Street and grew up in Stone Street. However, he is different from most people. His family has become rich through business more than 300 years ago and is a well-known large family in the local area.So Zhang Yu received a higher education since he was a child, and his talents did not live up to his family's expectations. If not a once-in-a-century talent, it was at least useless.

In his Meng College, the students with the best grades almost had empty elixirs in their stomachs when they graduated, and were only one step away from becoming elixirs.Those with lower grades are also accomplished in foundation building. They only need to polish it for a year or two to reach a perfect state before they can hit the golden elixir.

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, astonished everyone with his mastery of qi-drawing and foundation-building skills. In fact, many people were saying that if the Zhang family had not been instilling elixirs in him, he would have been blocked at all levels of qi-drawing... Yes You can go to Foren Division to apply for the level of disability assistance.

But although Zhang Yu was not good at spiritual practice, he was very sociable. When he was in Meng College, he was good at dancing and made friends with a large number of powerful children in Shangcheng District.Using the connections of these people, he quickly took over the family business and developed it in just a few years. By the time he became the richest man in Stone Street more than ten years ago, his influence had spread to every corner of Stone Street. place.

If it had been anywhere else, this would have been a story worthy of praise from the whole people. Zhang Yu would have become the idol of thousands of people, and people would shout "Dad Zhang" when he walked on the street.

However, in Stone Street, Zhang Yu is just Zhang Yu. He is respectfully called Boss Zhang, and is also called Fatty Zhang's dad by urchins.Stone Street is not a place that pays attention to authority and wealth. The third jade owner Kong Zhang usually sets up a stall on the street, and the first jade owner often delivers goods to people. So even if the second jade owner has a net worth of billions, Nothing more than somewhere in between.Zhang Yu is of course not satisfied with this. He longs for more respect and recognition, and longs to be like the Shi family in the old days, where the three conformed to one and the power was dominated by one party.

The first step in the three-in-one combination is the talisman in Shi Yue's hand.

"Mr. Kong is the old man of the Shijie Chess Club. He has always adhered to the principle of neutrality. If you snatch the jade talisman from him, the gain outweighs the loss. But I am different. The three jade talismans of Shijie were originally lost along with the decline of the Shijia family. …”

"That is to say, the Shi family has a glorious tradition of losing talismans."

"...You are right. Moreover, in Shi Xiu Sheng's generation, the Shi family's performance was even worse, almost destroying the family's remaining reputation. So even if one day I cannot keep the jade talisman, the people of Shijie will not be surprised. At that time, Zhang Yu will be holding two talismans, and Mr. Kong will have no choice as a neutral party."

In order to get the jade talisman in Shi Yue's hand, Zhang Yu made a lot of efforts, such as high-price acquisition, high-price acquisition, and high-price acquisition... It's not that he, as the richest man, would only think of such simple and crude solutions, but Only this kind of plan is likely to be recognized by the people of Stone Street.

The jade talisman in Shijie is not like the green leaves and lübi on the waist of Qingpingsi Qingyi. The talisman itself has no binding force on the people of Shijie, it is just a sign of people's attachment.Taking the jade talisman but losing people's hearts is a matter of abandoning the basic and chasing the weak.Zhang Yu was able to buy the jade talisman with his financial advantage, so the people of Shijie would naturally recognize that he made money wisely and used it wisely.But it would be too despicable to collude with Shangcheng District and instigate Qingping Division to inspect the Taixu station belonging to a Shijie local and force Shi Yue to give up his talisman.

However, after hearing Shi Yue's analysis, Wang Luo strengthened his judgment.

There must be someone behind the scenes that made things difficult for Luo Xiao, and Zhang Yu, if not the main instigator, was at least an accomplice.

Because my senior sister once taught me a simple and universal principle: If you think the worst about rich people, you will probably not be wrong.

"Go find Zhang Yu tomorrow morning and test his reaction by pretending to be a prostitute for nothing."

Shi Yue was a little confused: "What is the face of a prostitute?"

Wang Luo thought for a while and gave an example: "Boss Zhang, you are from Shijie and hold a jade talisman. You are a well-deserved leading figure. Now that the neighborhood is in trouble, you should take the lead and set an example. How can you stand idly by? You are above There are many contacts in the city. Can you contact some big shots to coordinate? You have a fortune of hundreds of millions, and some social expenses are just a drop in the bucket for you, but they are more important to the ordinary people on Stone Street..."

Shi Yue almost burst out: "Master Mountain Master, you are going too far! Can't you say that Xiaozhi moved with reason and moved with emotion!?"

This time it was Wang Luo's turn to be confused: "What's the difference?"

"...I was wrong. But is my speaking skills really useful for an old man like Zhang Yu? And I'm really not good at speaking."

Of course Wang Luo had known about this for a long time. After all, when they first met, this loyal mountain guard was holding a little red flag, a little red hat on his head, and a lotus tongue. With extremely solid basic skills, he achieved zero operating income.

"So then you follow this routine..."

While Wang Luo recalled the master of the temptation world, he taught Shi Yue the essence of this.

Shi Yue only listened for a moment, and his face turned faintly blue.

"Lord Mountain Master, if I were beaten by someone in the Zhang family, would you come to save me, right?"
