Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You're talking about purchasing Deacon Qin deli, right? After Wei Zhaotong's incident, his days weren't good either. However, he has a backer in the morning Star Academy, so he wasn't arrested and put all the blame on our Hong Chamber of Commerce. But this time, it was the Vice President of Donghai who personally spoke, so even he didn't dare to interfere. After all, he has a criminal record. " Honest Chai explained.

"Well, that's good. You've worked hard during this period." Lin Yi patted honest Chai's shoulder in relief. He was much more relaxed now that he knew what had happened. After all, if honest Chai really did betray them, he wouldn't feel good even if he could clean up the house. It would only mean that he had made a mistake back then.

"It's nothing. I've relied on you and Vice President Hong's care to get to where I am today. There's no need to say whether it's hard or not. It's what I should do." Seeing that Lin Yi finally believed him, honest Chai let out a breath of relief.

"Do a good job. You should know what kind of people elder Hong and I are. We won't mistreat our own people." Lin Yi encouraged him gently. Honest Chai wasn't of much use, but he did have his own unique side in the Chamber of Commerce. As long as he could guarantee his loyalty, there was no harm in cultivating him.

"Thank you for your love. I'll do my best to repay you!" Honest Chai immediately expressed his opinion. He was an honest and weak person, but he wasn't a fool. At this time, he had to show his loyalty. Otherwise, being a little reserved might ruin his future.

Lin Yi chuckled, remembering the notice he saw on the street."By the way, do you know about the Morning Star Auction?"

"I know. It's the highest-level auction in Morning Star City. It's not held regularly. The last time it was held was five years ago." Honest Chai nodded his head and asked,"Are you interested in it?"

"That's right. I do want to go and experience it. I just don't know the specific rules." Lin Yi nodded.

"Everyone knows this rule. As long as you are a disciple of the Morning Star Academy, you can participate. All the large Chambers of Commerce here have corresponding quotas. For example, our Hong Chamber of Commerce can recommend our own people or other close rogue cultivators to participate. If you want to participate, you can directly use our own quota, right?" Honest Chai immediately suggested.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange." Lin Yi smiled. He only wanted to attend the auction on a whim, but since all Morning Star Academy students could attend, he might have the chance to meet Wang Xinyan and Huang xiaotao!

As the two were talking, someone suddenly called out softly from outside the door,""Shopkeeper, the list is ready. Do you want to take a look now?"

Honest Chai looked at Lin Yi, who smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright. If you have anything to do, go ahead. Don't mind me."

Honest Chai nodded his head and directly said to the door,"Old cui, come in directly. There are no outsiders inside."

A middle-aged man with a long beard pushed the door open and entered. Lin Yi looked at him and felt that he looked familiar. He thought for a while before remembering that he was from the black arc branch.

Back then, after he and Hong Zhong helped honest Chai to become the manager of the black arc branch, in order to control the situation, they even let honest Chai choose someone to be the deputy manager of the branch. Honest Chai recommended this person, his name was cui Mingshan.

Cui Mingshan froze for a moment when he saw Lin Yi. He quickly cupped his hands and greeted,"Cui Mingshan greets Vice President Lin!"

"Hehe, why are you here?" Lin Yi asked with a smile. Although they didn't really interact much, cui Mingshan was considered one of his and Hong Zhong's people in the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

"In response to Vice President Lin's words, I took the initiative to request to be transferred over after hearing about shopkeeper Chai's matter. Otherwise, if shopkeeper Chai left and I was left alone, my days would definitely not be good." Cui Mingshan looked at honest Chai with a bitter smile.

This was a living example. Back in the black arc branch, before Wei Zhaotong came, he was the Vice manager, but Wei Zhaotong was kicked aside the moment he came, becoming a complete idler. If it wasn't for his luck meeting a noble like Lin Yi, he might have been sitting on the cold bench for the rest of his life.

"In fact, old cui's luck is not bad. Although the transfer of a Deputy Manager doesn't need to go through all the higher-ups in the headquarters, other than the support of the higher-ups behind him, there must be a corresponding vacant position. At that time, the deputy manager of the morning stars branch applied to be transferred back to the Nakajima headquarters because of his poor performance. He would rather go back and be an idle person than stay here with a sad face, so he just happened to have an empty position for old cui. Honest Chai added with a smile.

"Not bad, the two of you can take care of each other and control the situation better. The work in this branch may be difficult for others, but it's a rare opportunity for the two of you. Work hard in the future, and if you have any difficulties, you can come to me and elder Hong. We're all on the same side, so we won't sit idly by." Lin Yi nodded.

Originally, no matter if it was honest Chai or cui Mingshan, it was impossible for them to be transferred to the East Province. However, after Wei Zhaotong and the series of events that followed, the two of them were pushed to their current positions and had been promoted by a large amount. This kind of successful experience could not be replicated by others even if they wanted to. As the saying goes, times make heroes.

"Thank you for your care, Vice President Lin!" Cui Mingshan was overjoyed. He didn't have any backing just like honest Chai. Although he was on Lin Yi and Hong Zhong's side, he was just honest Chai's follower before. Now, he finally had Lin Yi's approval. This was something he had been dreaming of.

"Alright, old cui, let's talk about the old days later. You said that the order was ready?" Honest Chai asked.

"That's right, these are the items for this auction. Please have a look. " Cui Mingshan handed over a list. It was a core secret of the Chamber of Commerce, and it could be used by competitors if it was leaked, but Lin Yi was no outsider to them. There was no need to hide it.

Lin Yi sat on the side, drinking tea. Honest Chai took the list and glanced at it. He frowned and didn't look at it for a long time.

After a long silence, honest Chai shook his head and sighed,"This standard is still not enough. Can't you find a way to get some rare goods? The auction this time is very important to our branch, and the competitors of the other Chambers of Commerce are waiting for us to make a mistake. We can't afford to make any mistakes.
