Beauty and the Bodyguard

If it was a letter from an ordinary person in the headquarters, it would at most make Hong Zhong frown. He was a shopkeeper and had full authority to manage all matters of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the North Island. Even the higher-ups in the middle Island could not give orders.

However, the problem was that the person who signed the letter had the important identity of Hong shadow group's four directions supervisor envoy. His authority was enough to monitor the work of all the branches of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, from the shopkeeper to the manservants.

Once he was charged with malfeasance and strictly investigated, then no matter how honest and clean Hong Zhong was, he would inevitably be stripped of a layer of skin, and even be removed from his position as the branch manager, and his decades of hard work would be destroyed in one day!

Looking at Hong Zhong's gloomy and unsightly expression, Southern Heaven Gate couldn't help but feel a burst of pleasure in his heart, and his face even revealed a long-lost smugness.

Ever since he had taken the position of the soaring Pavilion's Senior Steward, the southern sky Gate had always maintained a poker face, especially not revealing any superficial expressions that would cause others to look down on them. But now, he couldn't help but feel proud.

He had been at a disadvantage since he entered the room, but now that he had shown his trump card, the situation was immediately reversed. Not only was Hong Zhong, the arrogant old man, shocked, but even the four elusive guest Masters were also scared into silence!

Hong Ying group's four supervisors was a fearsome character in the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Not only was Hong Zhong, a normal branch shopkeeper, afraid of him, but even guest experts, who had a high degree of freedom, had to back down in front of him.

The Hong Chamber of Commerce's honorary guest was second to none in the industry. Even if this four directions supervisor didn't have the power to supervise the honorary guest experts in name, if he were to record this down and report it to the higher-ups, it would be hard to say whether they could continue to hold the position of honorary guest in the future.

The four guest Masters guarding the North Island branch could usually be aloof and look down on anyone on the North Island. However, when it came to their own interests, they had no choice but to remain silent. No matter what level of strength they were in, cultivators were always the most realistic group of people.

"What do you think, old man? can you tell me the background of that dog shit Lin er now? I don't have the patience to waste my time on you!" Under the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, South Heaven Gate sat down on an armchair in the middle as if no one else was around. He crossed his legs leisurely, as if everything was under his control.

Southern Heaven Gate looked at the empty teapot beside him and snorted at the servant at the door,""Quickly serve me tea. You don't even have such a discerning eye. How can the Hong Chamber of Commerce support a group of trash like you!"

If it was in the past, the four guest Masters would have already thrown out of the southern Heaven Gate for such an impolite action. However, no one dared to make a sound now.

Even Hong Zhong, the shopkeeper and the full power representative of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the North Island, only glanced at him and did not say anything.

The manservant at the door shrank his neck when he saw this. He had no choice but to quietly come in and take away the teapot, preparing tea for the southern Heaven Gate.

When Yu Zhe saw this scene, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The Hong Chamber of Commerce was an unfathomable place. Now, with just a thin piece of paper, he had rendered shopkeeper Hong Zhong and four guest Masters speechless. Then, he had turned the tables with a smile. This martial uncle of the southern Heaven Gate was indeed not a troublesome figure that his cheap master could compare with!

But at this moment, seeing Hong Zhong's expression of defeat, Yu Zhe couldn't help but feel secretly pleased!

Although Lin er was the one who had stolen the star inkstone, Hong Zhong, who had awarded the star inkstone to Lin er, was also on Yu Zhe's list of grudges. However, because he was too weak, he couldn't find trouble with the other party even if he wanted to.

Now, Yu Zhe didn't need to do it himself. This martial uncle of the southern Heaven Gate had already done it for him. Looking at Hong Zhong, the so-called Big Shot of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, suffering a loss, gritting his teeth in hatred but not daring to resist, this kind of feeling was simply exhilarating!

Everything had advantages and disadvantages. The identity of the manager of the North Island branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce gave Hong Zhong status and power, but also put layers of restrictions on him. With this letter here, if Hong Zhong said no at this time, it would mean that he was going against the Hong shadow group's supervisor of four powers.

Although the supervisors of the four regions didn't have the power to promote others, if they wanted to destroy someone's future, they could do so with just a word. Therefore, even Hong Zhong, who had a high position and power, didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, this concerned the future, who would dare to take it lightly?

A moment later, the manservant came to the door with a cup of tea and carefully looked at the gloomy Hong Zhong. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he could only put the tea on the table next to the southern Heaven Gate and then bowed and left.

South Heaven Gate poured himself a cup, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, then sneered at Hong Zhong proudly,""You should have thought clearly about what to do. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. You are already an old man, so I don't think I need to teach you this principle personally!"

As for whether Hong Zhong would cooperate or not, Southern Heaven Gate had never had any doubts. With the letter from Hong Ying group's inspector of the four directions, it was equivalent to holding the Imperial Sword in their hands. Southern Heaven Gate was not worried at all that Hong Zhong would not cooperate.

Hong Zhong was also an understanding person. If he did not even have this bit of tolerance, he would not have been able to get the position of the North Island branch's manager.

According to Southern Heaven Gate's original plan, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, he didn't intend to use this letter to force the other party to admit defeat. He originally wanted to let Hong Zhong recognize his power and take the initiative to cooperate with him in a big business deal.

Although he could make the other party more aware of his power by taking advantage of the situation, which would make it easier for him to occupy a strong position in the future cooperation, if he used his power to bully others too much, it might have the opposite effect. If Hong Zhong harbored a grudge and refused to cooperate with him, it would really be too much as bad as not enough.

However, Hong Zhong, this old fogey, didn't want to give him face and insisted on letting him step on his face. Since he couldn't be stopped, he could only satisfy him.

Sipping the hot tea in his cup, Southern Heaven Gate wasn't as impatient as he had said. He didn't seem to have any intention of urging hongzhong. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be enjoying this feeling.

Bullying Hong Zhong, a shopkeeper of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, was a rare opportunity. Only such a Big Shot would feel good when stepping on people's faces. Even a shrewd guy like the southern sky Gate was no exception. Perhaps after Hong Zhong took over, he discovered the Hong shadow group's shortcomings~so the Hong shadow group was controlled by little Hong Zhu~please see "top quality cultivation young master."
