Chapter 1274: Chapter 49: Sect Hierarch Shen’s Comrcial Empire
Others can navigate both black and white paths.
Shen Qingxi can navigate both Yin and Yang paths effortlessly.
During the ti Li Mumu was away studying, she not only completely took over the resources Li Mumu left behind locally but also organized and consolidated the three major cults under her na. Now, she has beco a major figure in Tiann City with overwhelming influence.
Surely, this was supported and tacitly approved by the Special Service Bureau; otherwise, she couldn’t have expanded so significantly.
In the Jianghu World, there are rumors that Shen Qingxi used her charms to cozy up to a senior leader in the Special Service Bureau.
So also say it’s because of her adept social skills, deep cunning, and sinister tact that she sowhat resembles the President in his pri.
But these aren’t the main reasons; the real reason lies in the “Four Seas Comrce Guild.”
Wang Yunxiao, being at school, was unaware of the market changes over the past few months.
In fact, it can be sumd up in one sentence—devastating and overwhelming.
So bad signs appeared earlier this year, but no one expected that to be just the beginning, and now no one knows when it will end.
The resources and wealth of the Four Seas Comrce Guild seem endless, and they forcefully bought up half of Tiann with money.
Nowadays, almost all profitable businesses are monopolized by the Four Seas Comrce Guild. The businesses previously invested by old-tier families, prestige empires, and landlord powerhouses have either been bought out or directly driven out.
It’s just plain and simple price wars.
If you sell sothing for one dollar, I’ll sell it for twenty cents, not caring about profit, just to kill you.
Over the year, the citizens of Tiann basically saved up a thick stack of various discount vouchers, and their hos are stocked with at least three years’ supply of grain and oil.
anwhile, the shopkeepers, owners, and shareholders of local rchants…hundreds have resorted to hanging, jumping, or poisoning as a consequence.
No one shows them any pity; everyone is applauding.
Who would empathize with treacherous rchants? They used to sell goods at such high prices, profiting unscrupulously. Even in death, they have enjoyed the riches of the Mortal World, not deserving even a tear from us.
Sooner dead, sooner reborn.
Walking down the street, looking at the renewed shop storefronts all around, Wang Yunxiao had mixed feelings.
Emotionally, he naturally preferred seeing the bustling and flourishing scene of Tiann now.
But behind the bustling and flourishing, there’s another phrase, “fires cooking oil.”
This is not normal comrcial competition.
However, common folk don’t understand this; they only see who gives free eggs.
Shen Qingxi is now also upgrading arms, becoming the head of the “Shen Corporation,” buying an eight-story comrcial building in the most prosperous area of Tiann City. Directly opposite is the newly constructed super departnt store this year, nad Qianye Square.
Across the street is the branch headquarters of Pacific Bank, and beside it is the decades-old China Hotel.
The four buildings together, with architectural styles blending East and West, form a new landmark in Tiann City. The surrounding blocks are filled with high-rise buildings, bustling with traffic, far surpassing the past glory of Nanshi Main Street.
Shen Qingxi’s office is as large as 150 square ters, with a two-ter-high globe in the middle, looking… particularly nouveau riche.
The letter to Wang Yunxiao was sent three days ago, presumably tid with the school’s holiday.
The letter contained nothing special, just a simple invitation to et up for an important discussion.
But Shen Qingxi writing such a formal letter is quite perplexing.
If he didn’t know she was also a transmigrator, Wang Yunxiao might even suspect she had been replaced.
When Wang Yunxiao walked into the office, Shen Qingxi was chatting with a few old gentlen.
His military uniform caught their attention, and they couldn’t help but glance his way, curious about his identity.
“That’s all for today. We’ll talk again when new developnts arise.”
In front of others, Shen Qingxi exuded a commanding aura; after delivering the dismissal, the old gentlen didn’t dare to speak, standing up quickly to bow and exit.
“Guess who these people are?”
After they left, Shen Qingxi turned to face Wang Yunxiao, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.
“How should I know.”
And please don’t act as if we have so close relationship.
Wang Yunxiao said calmly, “What do you need from ?”
“Can’t I look for you without a reason?”
Shen Qingxi opened a drawer, took out a piece of cut squid and put it in her mouth, laughing softly, “Did you forget our little secret?”
Huh?
Is there such a thing?
Wang Yunxiao carefully thought for a mont.
“You an… the Signal Flag thing?”
Li Mumu, Shen Qingxi, and Xia Yubing are all part of the “Signal Flag” project under the “United Ark” plan.
But the three of them have completely different attitudes towards this work.
Li Mumu is indifferent whether to do it or not, as she has no say in it anyway.
Xia Yubing insists on completing the assigned tasks.
Shen Qingxi, however, opposes it, believing that having been reborn, she should take charge of her own life.
“You two have it easy, ignoring everything and hiding away in school, leaving to struggle outside. Ah, I don’t even know whom I’m working hard for.”
Shen Qingxi sighed while chewing on the squid strips.
