When Lin Yuan had been on the phone with Listen, he could clearly feel that Listen was completely hanging in there in the current situation, but there was no denying that he was very motivated.
Since Listen and the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had paid allegiance to him, and Listen had sworn an oath with the Willpower Rune, Lin Yuan had to be responsible for them.
Soon, Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath arrived at the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s location. He only saw a rather large white house where the periphery was simply arranged without any decoration.
From time to time, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s employees could be seen taking out or moving in various fey storage boxes. Then they completed the supply of goods online through Ostrich Logistics’ exclusive courier.
The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce now had no offline resources at all. The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had swallowed Its offline resources through commercial competition.
Fortunately, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had many online resources, and the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce could not do anything about it for a while.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard the two employees, who came out to move the fey storage box, whispering.
“Old Zhao, do you think we can get through these difficult times? The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce is aggressive. It looks like it won’t give up until it reaches its goal!”
“We’ll just do our job well. Anyway, we can’t help. I believe the president will have a solution. Has anyone from the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce come to poach you?”
“Those bast*rds from the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce came to me several times, but I’ve refused. I’ve worked here for half of my lifetime. Old President and Young President have been kind to me. I won’t go to the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce no matter how much they give me.”
Upon hearing the two employees’ conversation, the Mother of Bloodbath that was beside Lin Yuan exclaimed slightly, “These employees are quite loyal!”
Lin Yuan shook his head.
“The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce has even poached the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s ordinary employees, so I guess those who are still here should be those who are unwilling to leave or have other purposes.”
The Mother of Bloodbath frowned slightly.
“Spies?”
Lin Yuan’s expression sank.
“Since the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce has cut off the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s offline resources, the only thing that they can get their hands on is on the online resources.”
Seeing Lin Yuan’s expression sink, the Mother of Bloodbath asked, “Why? Are you worried about the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s future?”
Lin Yuan shook his head. He was not worried about the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s future but about the safety of those employees staying behind.
Those objects made of completely jade-textured powder were simply in short supply in the market. If objects made of jade-textured wood were said to be loved by the affluent families, then objects with jade-textured powder were a favorite of the wealthy families with a foundation.
Therefore, even if the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce lost all its online and offline resources, as long as it was a chamber of commerce recognized by the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan could ignore the obstacles. He would immediately get the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce back on its feet by pouring in these scarce resources.
It was just that, as the saying went, ‘When the map is unrolled, the dagger is revealed.’
The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce has been plotting against the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Since it had now involved the ordinary employees, it was clear how determined the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was to bring down the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
In terms of strength, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was a faction that suppressed the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce by several times. If it lost the patience to slowly devour the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, would it do it by force?
…
A loud sound exploded out of nowhere in the quiet room.
A full-bearded middle-aged man hit his hands on the table hard, and he was yelling, “Big Brother, I don’t know why Young Master Zheng is so attached to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. We’ve eaten up the offline resources.
“I even find it too little, even with the remaining framework and various online resources. Don’t you think Young Master Zheng is crazy!?”
Another slightly older middle-aged man was holding a wine pot with a dragon beast pattern on it and pouring wine into a glass.
Even his face, which was still calm after the loud noise, suddenly changed, and he snarled, “Impudent! Is Young Master Zheng a name you can call? How many times have I told you to be careful with your words? Why don’t you take it to heart!?”
The older middle-aged man glared fiercely at the middle-aged man with a beard.
“Big Brother, it’s just the two of us! I won’t say such things if there are outsiders!”
The older middle-aged once again growled, “You should be more careful when it’s just the two of us. Otherwise, if it becomes a habit to say such things, and word spreads, can our Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce still get the resources from Young Master Zheng?”
The bearded middle-aged acknowledged that fact and then said indignantly, “Big Brother, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce is weak. It has nothing, and it’s so hard to devour it. Why do we bother so much? Why don’t we just go through to the end and finish it off cleanly so that it’ll be easy for us to report this matter back?”
This bearded middle-aged man had a nasty look. He was just like a small blind bear in the mountains that was hungry for half a month and eager to hunt.
The older middle-aged man was calmly sipping his glass of strong wine, picking up the wine pot with the dragon beast pattern and carefully tasting it.
He unhurriedly said, “Force is definitely something that has to be used, but not now.
“Don’t always think of using force! Use your brain more! There are a lot of things you should learn!”
The bearded middle-aged stepped forward, picked up a wine glass on the table, put it in front of the older middle-aged man, and said, “I’m thirsty too. Pour me some.”
The older middle-aged man took the wine pot and poured a glass of strong wine for his brother, saying as he poured the wine, “Aren’t you curious why Young Master Zheng is putting so much effort into the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce that even you and I don’t have an eye on?”
The older middle-aged man’s eyes flashed slightly as he spoke, and a planning gaze flickered in his eyes.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by the man at the door shouting, “President, Second President! The news from Elder Fei has arrived.”
The bearded middle-aged man replied, “Bring it in.”
The person who came to deliver the news handed in a paper envelope and immediately retreated.
The older middle-aged man took the paper envelope, opened it, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
The bearded middle-aged man put his face over, looked at the text, and exclaimed, “Big Brother, is this the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s online resources?”
The older middle-aged man slapped this paper correspondence on the table and said, “Now I’ll see how the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce can still hold on!”
