Chapter 407: Watch Me Screw You Up!
Fei Qianqiong’s words made Bi Chenghu ponder, obviously contemplating the feasibility of Fei Qianqiong’s opinion. However, Bi Chenghu looked at Fei Qianqiong with a somewhat strange gaze.
When Bi Chengxiong, who was chucking meat into this mouth, heard Fei Qianqiong’s words, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Elder Fei, when have you started to care about the chamber of commerce’s operation?
“In the past, when I let you manage the chamber of commerce’s operation, didn’t you say that you only love to do things that don’t require your brain, such as killing?”
Fei Qianqiong felt somewhat bitter. Bi Chengxiong wasn’t very smart, so he could just find a random reason to justify himself, but Bi Chenghu was not so easily fooled.
Fei Qianqiong couldn’t be bothered to manage the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s affairs because Bi Chenghu’s desire to control was too strong.
Another reason was that Fei Qianqiong preferred to improve his strength if he had time and not put his energy into the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s operation.
Fei Qianqiong knew that it was indeed a little abrupt for him to rashly raise the issue of the chamber of commerce’s development now, but the task that Listen had given him was his first step as a mole.
Therefore, he had to say what he should. He couldn’t be bothered with Bi Chengxiong’s att.i.tude.
When Fei Qianqiong glanced at Bi Chenghu, he found that Bi Chenghu looked at him with some scrutiny.
Fei Qianqiong took a deep breath and brought himself a gla.s.s of wine. His emotions were brewing as he held the wine gla.s.s. After downing the wine in one gulp, Fei Qianqiong turned and looked at Bi Chenghu seriously.
Even if Bi Chenghu had deep thoughts, he was also caught off guard by Fei Qianqiong’s next move.
Bi Chenghu never thought that Fei Qianqiong’s eyes would turn red. Fei Qianqiong was not an actor, but he showed true feelings because he was thinking over and over again about his Blood-Toothed Cricket’s stripped Willpower Rune.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. In less than five minutes, a few drops of tears streamed down from his eyes. The more he thought about the Blood-Toothed Cricket, the sadder he felt.
Fei Qianqiong used this instance of sadness and said, “Chenghu! I’ve been following you for years.
“Although I’m a dozen years older than you, I’ve always treated you as a brother!
“These years in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce are the happiest years of my life.
“Now, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce has been promoted to a rising faction. Chengxiong usually doesn’t help you much, and you have to take care of everything by yourself.
“Now I’m thinking that I can try to help you handle some of the work that does not require racking brains.”
Although Bi Chenghu was caught off guard when he saw Fei Qianqiong’s red eyes, he calmed down immediately after that.
Bi Chenghu was very wary and had never treated Fei Qianqiong as one of his own people. He had also never let Fei Qianqiong interfere with the operations of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s core aspects.
When Fei Qianqiong had hinted many times before that he wanted to go to meet Young Master Zheng together, Bi Chenghu had refused him with the excuse that Young Master Zheng didn’t like to meet outsiders.
It was because Bi Chenghu wanted to completely have control over Fei Qianqiong and regard him as a sharp weapon of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.
Otherwise, if Fei Qianqiong defected to Young Master Zheng behind his back and went to develop in the Zheng family, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce would have one less sharp weapon.
Bi Chenghu could see that Fei Qianqiong’s tears were not fake. Otherwise, his eyes would have dried up after a few tears, and it definitely wouldn’t remain like this.
Bi Chenghu was a little surprised that Fei Qianqiong was so considerate of himself. When he looked at his younger brother, Bi Chengxiong, who was eating and drinking, Bi Chenghu felt that the more he looked at this old man, the more he was pleasant to the eye.
However, Bi Chenghu felt somewhat strange to suddenly have a brother who had a white beard and hair.
Bi Chenghu felt that Fei Qianqiong’s suggestion made some sense. Although the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had become a rising faction, it had not yet opened a private faction territory on Star Web, nor did it have a clear direction for private faction operations.
At present, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce still had a large amount of c.u.mbersome online and offline resources like the basic spiritual materials and ordinary feys.
The ordinary spiritual materials were fine. Even though a lot of manpower was required, they could also bring a certain amount of stable income to the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce every day.
However, the offline and online resources of ordinary feys were different. Not only did they require manpower to take care of them, but they also needed to be fed regularly daily. At the same time, there was the risk of ordinary feys dying.
There were no valuable spiritual materials on the dead ordinary feys, so they could only be fed to other feys as meat.
Such online and offline resources were already dispensable for the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.
Even if these ordinary feys could screen out a lot of mutated feys in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce each year, they could only resell these mutated feys.
There were benefits for the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce to have connections with the Zheng family, but the Zheng family strictly controlled the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s Creation Masters. Thus, the entire Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce did not have any Creation Masters.
As a result, the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce could only depend on the Zheng family. At the same time, it was useless for the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce to have these mutated feys.
Bi Chenghu saw Fei Qianqiong pouring wine for himself and thought about giving Fei Qianqiong a chance.
Thus, he said, “Elder Fei, don’t touch the ordinary spiritual materials first. I’ll hand over the ordinary spirit beasts to you.”
Fei Qianqiong hurriedly toasted Bi Chenghu and replied, “Chenghu, see if those high-end luxury objects—”
Bi Chenghu refused him without even thinking and said, “I’ll think of a way.”
Bi Chenghu’s heart, which had been somewhat moved before, instantly became firm. His gaze at Fei Qianqiong immediately became wary.
The Zheng family’s main business direction was high-end luxury objects.
Bi Chenghu couldn’t help but think, Fei Qianqiong isn’t trying to let me give him the chance to get close to Young Master Zheng, right?
Bi Chenghu had already made up his mind that Fei Qianqiong could help take over some Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce matters in the future. However, he had to keep a close eye on Fei Qianqiong and not give him any chance to have any connections with Young Master Zheng.
Fei Qianqiong secretly exhaled and thought, The task that Listen a.s.signed to me can be considered complete.
As Fei Qianqiong saw Bi Chenghu’s gaze at him turn from scrutinizing him to becoming close and then wary, he felt unusually excited.
Somehow, Fei Qianqiong suddenly felt that as compared to enhancing his strength and using the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu to control a human’s heart, acting seemed more exciting!
At the same time, he couldn’t help but scold Bi Chenghu in his heart!
My neck is wet from the tears, and I even cried so sincerely. I didn’t cry this badly even when my wife died!
You’re even wary of me. Watch me screw you up!
