Pawn Crossing the River

In fact, before Qi Xuansu went to Lion City, many people greeted Qi Xuansu.

There are old acquaintances, and there are also some important people whom we only met once.

There are also some people who are not light in weight, but they are not able to get things done just by saying hello to Qi Xuansu, so they turn around and ask for help. Humanity is so sophisticated that they cannot but be considered. If you are not careful, you will become enemies. There is good karma on one side and bad karma on the other. There is a big difference between coming and going. One must be cautious.

During this time, Qi Xuansu's place was very lively and crowded with guests.

Next is Xu Jiaorong.

Everyone who comes to Qi Xuansu is looking for money. Those who went to Xu Jiaorong's side were all interceding. In addition to people from the Wang and Sun families, many others were punished and even imprisoned. These people have relatives and friends, so they naturally hope to rely on connections, find people to intercede, and spend money to eliminate disasters.

Separated by one palace, there are two worlds.

It's full of joy here and the spring breeze is warm. There are gloomy clouds and cold wind and rain over there.

Coincidentally, they all involved Chen Jianchou. He was Qi Xuansu's secretary and Xu Jiaorong's adopted son. No matter where he was looking for work, he could always ask for help, which made Chen Jianchou complain a lot.

Some people say that Chen Jianchou is now the number one prince in Nanyang.

Qi Xuansu himself could not be greedy or possessive, but he could not withstand such huge pressure.

There were so many people who wanted to get a share of the Nanyang United Trading Company that Qi Xuansu could not compete.

Today it will be the Master Shenzhi, and tomorrow it will be the Master Da.

If we look at it in detail, they are all old in-laws. This one is related to the Zhang family, and the other one is related to the Yao family. The dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Here are disciples of Master Cihang, and over there are Shi Bingyun's old friends, prospective mother-in-law and old boss. You can't favor one over the other.

Here are the branches of the Pei family, and over there are the disciples of Jiang Dazhen. Maybe Master Jiang Da doesn’t know that these juniors are using his own name, and Master Donghua will not support his side members to get involved in this matter, but can Qi Xuansu still find two people to challenge this matter?

Not to mention that this move will not look good on the faces of Master Donghua and Jiang Dazhen, but will also make them doubt his ability. If you can't handle such a small thing well, it seems that you can only be a cool official.

Finally, Qi Xuansu thought of a way to let them fight among themselves and come to him after the fight came to a conclusion.

It's not that Qi Xuansu didn't want to be fair and equitable, but it's not much easier to divide the pie than to make it bigger. Many dynasties have fallen on uneven distribution, because this is an offending task. Some people eat more, and some people eat less. .

At the end of the sharing, try your best to keep the bowl of water as level as possible. The people who had their flesh cut off will hate you and feel that you are betraying them. The people who only drank the soup will also hate you and feel that you are on the side of the meat eaters. Both sides are unhappy.

Everyone eats meat and everyone is fair. This is naturally correct. The key is that it cannot be done. Why do some people eat more? Because these people are powerful, they can cut off a little meat, but if they cut too much, they will overturn the table. If you can't divide the bread, find someone else to do it.

What happened in the Six Dynasties was just a private plan.

The difficulty here is beyond words.

Qi Xuansu's interpersonal relationships are still relatively simple. Even so, it is not necessary to mention those who have complicated interpersonal relationships.

These people can't help but use some tricks.

The method here is of course not some magical method, but some powder traps.

Qi Xuansu recently attended a banquet that he couldn't avoid because it was hosted by his colleagues in Ziweitang. As for why these Ziweitang colleagues went to Borneo, the apparent reason is that a large number of Taoist priests have been dismissed. The appointment of new Taoist priests is very important. Ziweitang wants to come down to inspect the suitable candidates, and by the way, meet Qi Xuansu, an already prosperous old man. Colleagues.

Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't shirk it, and because the candidate for the new headmaster had not yet been decided, he was also responsible for personnel issues, so he would inevitably have to deal with Ziweitang.

So a banquet was held at the Taiping Inn in Thang Long Mansion.

Qi Xuansu was too busy to get away easily, so it was already dusk when he went to the banquet. When he arrived at the Taiping Inn, he saw red lanterns hanging all over the place, giving off a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

As soon as Qi Xuansu entered, he felt something was wrong.

Naturally, all his former colleagues have arrived, waiting for him, the protagonist, who is currently chatting in groups. In fact, some people are no longer in Ziweitang, but those who left Ziweitang are all in prominent positions and have great power.

Beside them, there were some female Taoist priests sitting, all of them good-looking and graceful, almost one for each of them.

Qi Xuansu's seat was vacant, and there were two female Taoist priests on each side. One was older, mature, dignified and generous. One is younger, a bit childish, and shy. These two are also the best-looking. The key is that these two are also quite good in cultivation, and they are both in the stage of returning to true nature.

You must know that realm cultivation is like status, which can stimulate a man's potential desire more than simple appearance and posture. It’s hard to say why some men prefer so-called female heroes and fairies.

This is the use of thought.

Qi Xuansu just took one look and understood.

The Taoist sect is relatively strict on the relationship between men and women. Anyone who brings promiscuous women over will be giving them a handle. But these are serious female Taoist priests, colleagues, and they also demonstrate equality. Who can say otherwise?

The meal was not good.

One night of joy, and then with a stroke of a pen, millions of dollars of peace money went out.

This is not only a personal stain on Qi Xuansu, but also irresponsible to the Taoist sect.

But if you don't eat this meal, you will offend more people. If you want to go further in the future, you will inevitably face many obstacles.

How to choose is a dilemma.

Fortunately, Qi Xuansu had an excellent excuse, and that was Zhang Yuelu.

When it comes to Miss Zhang, many people's first impression is that she is difficult to get along with. This difficulty does not mean that Zhang Yuelu likes to lose her temper. Zhang Yuelu's temper is not bad, nor is she domineering. It is more because she does not live up to the same standards. , stuck there, leaving a lot of people with a knot in their throats. But he couldn't move her, let alone explain, so he had to give her a rating of being difficult to get along with.

Later, I don't know who gave Zhang Yuelu a comment that was in the legacy of the five generations of great masters. This sentence can be heard right or wrong. It can be regarded as a compliment or a yin and yang. So whether it's people who like Zhang Yuelu or people who hate Zhang Yuelu, they all agree with this evaluation.

Later, the evaluation of Zhang Yuelu extended from the acting style of the Five Dynasties Grand Master to the word "domineering". That is to say, Zhang Yuelu is a very domineering person and has become a stereotype that is difficult to correct.

As a result, many people took it for granted that Qi Xuansu was afraid of his wife.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to play the image of a gentleman who was sitting still and calm, so he just used this as a shield to block some makeup traps and honey traps without offending others.

If Zhang Yuelu suffers another hardship, I will bear the reputation of being afraid of his wife.

Zhang Yuelu didn't care. If he had too many debts, he wouldn't worry. If he had too many lice, he wouldn't be itchy. Let him be.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also brought Xiao Yin with him. This little guy is a spoiler. He is naive and ignorant. No matter how ambiguous the atmosphere is, it can completely destroy it. It will be difficult to think of anything happening again.

This does not seem abrupt, because it is not a secret in Nanyang that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu love a little girl very much. Everyone also expresses their understanding. The two people's realms have advanced by leaps and bounds, and they may not be able to leave any heirs in this life. It is understandable to have an adopted daughter in advance. The first child naturally gets all the love from his parents and is regarded as the top child.

Except for formal occasions, Qi Xuansu often takes Xiao Yin here and there, and no one will think that he does this on purpose.

When everyone saw Qi Xuansu arriving, they all stood up to greet him.

Among the people present, Qi Xuansu may not have the highest status, but he is the youngest and has a bright future. He is sincerely convinced when he stands up to greet him.

After some courtesy and humility, Qi Xuansu sat on the specially vacated main seat. Because of the addition of Xiao Yin, the mature female Taoist priest had to move a seat.

The female Taoist priest was a little disappointed at first, but then she thought that it would be a great achievement if she could coax this little girl to get better.

But Xiao Yin just came to eat. She was not a three-year-old child, so she didn't need anyone to wait on her. Instead, she felt that the female Taoist priest was in the way.

As for the other younger female Taoist priest, she was probably in her early twenties. She was petite and delicate, still childlike, and had the best appearance among the women.

This reminded Qi Xuansu of a joke. When he was studying in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, he felt so old looking at these senior sisters who were about to graduate and leave the Wanxiang Dao Palace. After becoming a Taoist priest, I felt so tender looking at these female Taoist priests who had just come out of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

However, this young female Taoist priest is different from other women. She does not have much intention to please and flatter her, her expression is just indifferent, and she behaves well when she occasionally talks to Qi Xuansu, without any extraordinary behavior.

In this way, there are two possibilities, one is that she doesn't want to come but has to come, the other is that she is playing hard to get.

No matter the first possibility or the second possibility, it is not a good thing. If it is the first possibility, then what kind of trend is this? Force good girls into prostitution? If it is the second type, then what is the trend? Are you using this method to treat the Taoist Gate as a brothel that welcomes guests?

No wonder Zhang Yuelu keeps saying that he wants to change the Taoism.

Changing the Taoism starts with changing the atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy because of what they drank.

Under the stimulation of Jiu Jin, many small actions increased.

Xiao Yin is full and is patting her belly.

Qi Xuansu couldn't sit still. At this moment, someone invited Qi Xuansu to the flower hall next to him. While drinking tea to sober up, he started talking about business.

It is still a matter of the reorganization of Nanyang United Trading Company. These people do not want to buy shares themselves, but want to collectively buy shares in the name of Ziweitang, which can be regarded as the property of the family and make Ziweitang's finances richer. Of course, Ziweitang colleagues can also enjoy more benefits.

After all, Yujing is no better than a local place. It is noble but it has no money.

Qi Xuansu just asked, does Master Donghua know about this?
