Dragon's Origin

#357 - Dare to Stand Me Up (Part 2)

Clearly, the new manager was the casually chosen person Wang Sheng mentioned. The new manager wasn't stupid and understood this, but he didn't say another word. He just glared, his eyes almost bloodshot, and angrily got up to leave.

Watching the other party's departing figure, Wang Sheng simply shook his head. Unable to make a deal, he immediately acted like he was facing his father's killer. If this was the kind of person who could be a business manager, Wang Sheng would personally twist off his own head and give it to him.

He wondered what kind of nonsense the Baoqing Yutang family had produced to use someone like this.

Wang Sheng wasn't interested in Baoqing Yutang's current situation, but he was concerned about the female owner's condition. After all, he only had a few acquaintances in this world, and the female owner had helped him when he was down, even though she had sent assassins from Worry-Free City to investigate him before that. Since they were acquainted, there was no harm in asking, just to know, not expecting anything.

"Do you know how the female owner of Baoqing Yutang is doing now?" Of course, he asked Yu Baozhai about this. Competitors know you best, so Lu Wenhous would definitely know the answer.

"Not good at all!" Lu Wenhou didn't hide anything, sitting there and telling Wang Sheng as if it was obvious: "A loser in a family competition, what good do you expect?"

"That's true!" Wang Sheng nodded. The grudges of wealthy families were filled with deceit and infighting, no safer than being in Worry-Free City. A loser definitely wouldn't be treated well. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Will she die?"

"It won't come to that." Lu Wenhou laughed: "Depriving her of her financial power is enough. They're all family, why would they go to the point of life and death?"

"It seems you know Baoqing Yutang's family infighting very well!" Hearing that the female owner wasn't in mortal danger, Wang Sheng finally put down his last bit of worry. Leaving that aside, he chatted happily with Lu Wenhou and asked casually.

"Of course!" Lu Wenhou had that matter-of-fact expression again: "Their family infighting wasn't this intense at first. After I heard about it, I secretly added fuel to the fire, which led to the current situation."

Wang Sheng didn't know what to say. Few people would tell others about the conspiracies they had done, but Lu Wenhou didn't avoid Wang Sheng at all. This was a first for Wang Sheng.

Besides giving a thumbs up to express his admiration, Wang Sheng had nothing else to say. As an Earthling, Wang Sheng understood the principle that the marketplace is a battlefield better than anyone else in this world. Since they were competitors, they would naturally use any means possible. Stirring up internal conflicts within the opponent was also a brilliant move.

Wang Sheng was a special forces soldier. In his training, there were spy warfare subjects such as causing trouble behind enemy lines, even instigating internal wars to subvert the enemy's regime. Lu Wenhou was able to execute such methods without any training. He was indeed a qualified profiteer.

Yu Baozhai was very efficient. The team had already been organized and trained, the supplies had been distributed, and they were just waiting to enter the camp again. Wang Sheng would lead the team this time as well, but after this time, a group of guards who had followed him in and out twice in a row would use the temporary camps built along the way as a link, frequently traveling back and forth between the Thousand Despair Land. Wang Sheng would also be freed and wouldn't be tied to this camp.

"You must protect the temporary camps along the way." Wang Sheng instructed Lu Wenhou: "Don't sell those camps for a few gold coins. If something happens, you'll have no place to cry even if you regret it."

Lu Wenhou nodded solemnly. Although he liked making money, he didn't care about a little money. The temporary camps were the lifeline of the main camp, and he would never let anything happen to them. For big money, Lu Wenhou would definitely be serious.

While Wang Sheng and Lu Wenhou finalized this matter, the new manager of Baoqing Yutang had already relayed Wang Sheng's original words back to his master.

Baoqing Yutang had been fighting internally for the past year or so. After supporting herself for a long time, the female owner was finally forced to step down.

The new owner's ascension was followed by a purge. This was an inevitable phenomenon in all power transitions throughout history. Of course, since it was only a commercial family, the purge wasn't so bloody. It was just a matter of transferring all the managers who were loyal to the original female owner and replacing them with their own people to control the situation.

This process wasn't smooth at all. Such a large national chain store required all personnel, finances, and power to be straightened out, which was by no means an easy task. Moreover, they had encountered the emperor's enfeoffment of vassals during this period. Suddenly, the original kingdom's chain store became an international chain multinational corporation. The new managers took office to re-establish relationships and make friends with dignitaries. After a series of tasks, the new owner finally slowly gained a foothold.

As a result, at this time, news came from Worry-Free City that Wang Sheng and Yu Baozhai were cooperating to develop a camp in the Thousand Despair Land for cultivators to practice.

At that time, the new owner was neither in Worry-Free City nor familiar with Wang Sheng. Not only could he not speak, but his reaction was also slow enough. By the time Baoqing Yutang reacted, Wang Sheng had already entered the Thousand Despair Land with Yu Baozhai's team, and they couldn't even contact him.

It was not easy to wait until Wang Sheng came back, but Yu Baozhai directly became very popular. Not to mention the Baoqing Yutang in the midst of chaos, even the Baoqing Yutang, which monopolized refined salt and snow sugar frost in its heyday, could not suppress Yu Baozhai's current limelight.

Therefore, the new manager of Baoqing Yutang in Worry-Free City couldn't sit still and rushed to the door on his own initiative, only to be dismissed by Wang Sheng in one sentence.

The new owner received the news, but was not surprised. Lu Wenhou of Yu Baozhai had been living in Worry-Free City for most of the year. If anything happened, he would directly discuss it with Wang Sheng. Being close to the water, he naturally had an advantage over them. He didn't know how his manager had talked to Wang Sheng, but he only knew that Wang Sheng's attitude was very bad and asked him to come in person.

Ever since taking control of Baoqing Yutang, the new owner had spent most of the year to realize how much wealth he had mastered. Excited, he was full of confidence in further expanding Baoqing Yutang's business. Wasn't building a base in the Thousand Despair Land a great opportunity? Baoqing Yutang had the same conditions as Yu Baozhai. They were both commercial families, had no grudges with anyone, and had previously had in-depth cooperation with Wang Sheng. Why couldn't they also build one?

However, when the new owner excitedly rushed to Worry-Free City with a large group of people, ready to discuss with Wang Sheng, he discovered an embarrassing fact.

Wang Sheng had once again led a team into the Thousand Despair Land, this time to send the team of more than 2,000 people into the camp and transport supplies. But wasn't Wang Sheng asking him to come in person?

He actually dared to stand me up? This is tolerable, but what is not tolerable?
