It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 598 [016] Scattering beans is worse than scattering coins

January 1st is New Year's Day. At the instruction of his master, Qin Jiandan asked everyone to celebrate more vigorously than Christmas last week, but not more than the Spring Festival 1 days later.

Xiao Xia bought a lot of fairy wand-type fireworks and asked Rui Shuang to set them off together. She also taught Rui Shuang the "scattering beans to exorcise evil spirits" ritual at the west entrance of the martial arts training ground. However, Qin Qi, who was inside the martial arts training ground, saw Xiao Xia and criticized her through the window.

"You fool, scattering beans to ward off evil spirits is something that should be done the day before the beginning of spring, even in Japanese customs! And this is simply a spell to welcome spring learned from China! Evil spirits represent Yin energy, and the smooth beans represent gold energy. This spell uses the gold energy of the beans to kill the Yin energy of the evil spirits, and by the way, throw the gold energy that kills spring out of the house! Life is nothing to you now!"

Xiao Xia kept saying yes and ran away in terror. Only Rui Shuang was still throwing soybeans in the snow and shouting, "Get out, ghost!"

Mu Yue's thinking became clearer day by day. Although she could not speak complete sentences now, she could already use pen and paper to fluently write down paragraphs like "stewed dog meat stewed dog meat stewed dog meat stewed dog meat". Valei felt that the day when she would be reckoned was not far away.

Fengjian took advantage of the New Year's Day holiday to carry out the second ecological tower marketing, which included many means of promoting Night Dragon Coins.

Qin Jiandan gave a speech in the first-floor shopping mall according to Fengjian's feedback, explaining the issuance background and value of the Night Dragon Coin, emphasizing its fixed exchange relationship with the company's green notes and gold, and also presented photos of 100 tons of gold in the headquarters vault as evidence.

Because the computer equipment in Huanshi City is expensive and Photoshop is difficult, plus the reputation of the Night Dragon Society, most people believe that the photo is not fake. In fact, this photo was photoshopped by Linlin. Since the volume of 100 tons of gold is less than what ordinary people imagine, it may not be shocking enough if it is not photoshopped a little more.

Qin Jiandan used Night Dragon Coins in public at his own friends' and relatives' stores (Lao Wang Fried Chicken No. 1, Naples Pizza) and the Falling Cherry Blossom Hotel, creating a model effect. The "Shaman Spiritual Items Store" opened by Aunt He and Gesang also publicly stated that they would accept Night Dragon Coins as a means of payment.

In order to highlight the payment advantages of Night Dragon Coin, Qin Jiandan stipulated that during holidays and weekends, customers who use Night Dragon Coin to consume in the Eco Tower can enjoy a 10% to 20% discount. There are multiple exchange outlets inside and around the Eco Tower, where customers can exchange and enjoy discounts at any time.

Aunt He shouted from behind the counter of the Shaman Spirit Shop: "Come quickly! Use Night Dragon Coins to buy consecrated instruments at a 9% discount, and you can also buy my uniquely formulated pickled salted fish at a 5% discount!"

To Aunt He's disappointment, no one except Mu Yue was interested in her aged salted fish. The business of shaman spirit objects was as good as before.

The Night Dragon Coin uses "Baji" as a carrier, and uses anti-counterfeiting technologies such as light-variable ink and invisible engraving, making it very difficult to counterfeit. The main complaints from the public are that the expression of the "Big Brother Coin" is too demonic, and the "Tiger Crazy Coin" is too ugly.

In order to expand the influence of the Night Dragon Coin, Qin Jiandan called Ding Ling for an interview on New Year's Day and arranged for many people to speak well of the Night Dragon Coin. Ding Ling knew this but did not dare to expose it.

After the New Year's Day event, Qin Jiandan asked Ding Ling to stay and talk to her, asking her to mobilize the news informant of Crime Fighter magazine to investigate the possible hiding place of Han Tiancheng.

"Young Master, are you saying that Chief Inspector Mu Yue's father, Mr. Han Tiancheng, is missing?"

After having dinner together at "Lao Wang Fried Chicken No. 1", Ding Ling seemed dizzy because she drank a glass of beer with the young master. She liked carrots more than fried chicken, but she didn't dare to spoil the young master's interest.

"Yes, my father-in-law hasn't shown up for several days, and there is no news. The Night Dragon Society and the Police Department have sent people to look for him but can't find any clues. I heard that your magazine has some news informants in the inner city, especially in the West City. Based on the principle of increasing the dosage to treat the disease, can you help me look for him?"

Ding Ling covered his mouth and burped, and his two fluffy brown rabbit ears swayed like reeds blown by the wind.

"Since the police department has also sent people to look for them, I'm afraid that a mere magazine like ours can't provide any additional support, right?"

Qin Jiandan remained silent, just looking back at her with a meaningful look. Ding Ling quickly replied:

"I, I understand! I will mobilize all my informants to help the young master find his father-in-law! I won't ask any more questions in the future!"

In fact, although Qin Jiandan said that "the Police Department had contacted someone", this matter was entrusted to the Chief of Police. After learning from Lizard Lady Jenny that the Chief of Police was the mastermind behind Han Shiyu's childhood kidnapping, Qin Jiandan's trust in the Chief of Police dropped significantly. It cannot be ruled out that the Police Department had never contacted Han Tiancheng at all.

Qin Jiandan once gave Ding Ling a black-edged dragon badge and asked her to wear it on her chest whenever she was in Dongcheng. It seemed that Ding Ling had not forgotten it. The rabbit reporter realized that the young master was looking at her chest and trembled thinking that the young master had some other ideas.

"Ding Ling, I have a deal with your mother. Since I have obtained the management rights of the Phlogiston Crystal Processing Plant from you, and I have asked you to help find someone, I can't let you work for nothing."

"It's okay to do it for nothing!" Ding Ling replied nervously, "I only need to make a few phone calls to contact the news sources. It's not a big deal!"

"That won't do." Qin Jiandan drank the remaining half cup of beer in his hand. "No matter who the informant is, they only care about money. If you don't pay them enough, they won't help, and you might miss out on valuable clues." Qin Jiandan said as he handed Ding Ling a bank card.

"There is 20 yuan in it. You can use it first. It covers transportation, accommodation, and the cost of bribing informants. The password is the last 6 digits of the young master's office phone number."

"2-20?" Ding Ling's pupils trembled. "Is it appropriate for the young master to let me hold so much money? What if I lose it..."

Qin Jiandan became very generous because he received 100 million yuan in travel expenses for going to Xicheng to treat a wealthy man (unsuccessful attempt).

"I believe you wouldn't lose it on purpose. I said I'd let you be the news slave of the Night Dragon Society, so it's only right that I give you some activity funds. Don't try to save money on purpose, just spend it as long as it can improve efficiency, and come back to me when you're done."

Ding Ling put away the bank card anxiously. Qin Jiandan took out a "Young Master Coin" with his photo printed on it and pushed it over from the table.

"This is a special commemorative coin. The word 'dragon' is written where the face value should be. I have already told everyone below that anyone holding this thing can request security assistance from the Night Dragon Society. Since you have registered with the Night Dragon Society, the level of assistance you can request is higher. If you are in danger or may be in danger, don't hesitate to ask for assistance from the nearest person."

Ding Ling was overjoyed. When she bowed her head to express her gratitude, her two rabbit ears almost touched the table. "Thank you so much! This way I will have more places to go!"

Qin Jiandan waved his hand to indicate "You're welcome". In fact, this commemorative coin has a built-in positioning device, so the Intelligence Department can remotely monitor Ding Ling's location and find out whether she has been kidnapped or engaged in any suspicious activities.

"Also, you can come to the Night Dragon Society headquarters to find me when you're free. I'm currently teaching Vale martial arts, and you can take some classes with me."

"Eh? Can someone like me who has no basic skills learn martial arts?"

"It is precisely because you have no foundation that you need to learn. Ringstone City is full of dangers. Even if I arrange guards for you, they can only protect you temporarily, not forever. Learning some basic martial arts skills and self-defense methods will at least give you a certain degree of self-protection when you encounter danger."

Ding Ling muttered quietly: "Why does she need to learn martial arts when she is just a mistress in name only? Then she would be a mistress in vain..."

"What did you say?"

"No, nothing! It's a great blessing that the young master is willing to teach me martial arts. I will practice hard!"

"I'm not at the headquarters every day, and I don't always have time. I'll call you when I'm teaching Vale, so try to come here if you're not in a hurry. The physical fitness of the Furui people is better than that of ordinary people. If you learn a little, you can deal with ordinary crises. At least you can escape faster than before."

"Okay!" Ding Ling clenched her hands to encourage herself, "I will work hard to learn martial arts and run away as fast as I can!"

At this moment, a guard suddenly ran to Qin Jiandan and reported, "Young Master, Team Leader Jiang Chouyun and Master Huian from Fahai Temple want to see you. They are already waiting in the business negotiation room of the Ecological Tower!"

Qin Jiandan frowned slightly: "Did they come together?"

"We entered together, but I don't know if we met halfway."

Qin Jiandan let Ding Ling do as she pleased, and then asked the guard to lead the way to the business negotiation room. Although the ecological tower currently only has one floor, some places are quite winding, and Qin Jiandan was afraid that he would get lost and waste time.

Well, I drank a little too much beer... Before leaving, I will use the "time overwrite" routine to grant Ding Ling the right to go to the toilet for me!

Fahai Temple is located in District 1 of the outer city, which is indeed on Jiang Chouyun's territory, but Fahai Temple has never cooperated with the Chouyun Group on a large scale, and their cooperation in the previous water pollution incident was just a lot of noise but little action.

Now they are waiting for me in the business negotiation room. Do they want to discuss business cooperation with the headquarters? By the way, I haven’t told Jiang Chouyun that Jiang Hongling is going back to Dongcheng to perform a striptease. I hope he won’t be too excited after knowing it...
