The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 129 I, Scott, look down on you! (End of the Immortal Boat Chapter)

In Golden Lane, Scott strode arrogantly down the street. The idea of ​​shutting down the Chamber of Commerce's app that the powerful and influential came up with yesterday was indeed effective. At first glance, the cargo volume at the dock had decreased by almost half.

“Brother Quan Gui, what do we do next? The Chamber of Commerce’s business has indeed been greatly affected, but it’s still much better than before. It doesn’t seem like we can get the dock rights back yet,” Scott asked in his mind.

"Of course, we should take advantage of the fact that their official app is blocked and quickly make a pirated version called the Quanrenxiang Chamber of Commerce App. When those customers who have made mistakes place orders, we won't ship the goods, or we'll send them some junk. If customers complain about the customer service attitude, we'll curse them out and completely ruin the reputation of the Quanrenxiang Chamber of Commerce!" Quan Gui suggested.

"Brother, you're truly brilliant! In terms of being despicable, shameless, treacherous, ruthless, and unscrupulous, you're the best! I'm completely outmatched! If I had met you earlier, I would have already achieved great success!" Scott showered him with flattery.

"You flatter me, you flatter me. It's not too late. You've grown very quickly. I imagine it won't be long before you're just as despicable, shameless, treacherous, ruthless, and unscrupulous as I am. If the two of us join forces, what are those ten people from Shi Xin? We'll crush them under our feet sooner or later," the powerful figure encouraged.

"Hahaha~" Scott laughed triumphantly, and the passersby around him thought he was crazy and kept their distance.

As Scott reached a corner, Star, who had been lying in wait in the flowerbed, suddenly rushed out and put a trash can over Scott's head.

"Duang!"

Star One slammed his baseball bat into the trash can, which shook violently above Scott's head, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He put away his bat, then proceeded to punch and kick Scott, finally giving him a hard kick in the butt before clapping his hands and leaving satisfied.

Scott finally managed to get up, took the trash can off his head, looked around angrily, and shouted, "Who? Who is it?"

“It seems to be that nameless guest who helped the Chamber of Commerce oppose us! Recently, it seems that all the Suiyang who escaped with me on the Immortal Ship have been captured and taken back by the Ten Kings Division. That’s why I didn’t make a move just now. Otherwise, if I were exposed, it would attract the people of the Ten Kings Division. You won’t blame me, will you?” the powerful man said.

"Of course not, you're right to do this. It'll be time for us brothers to show our skills when I apply for a transfer from the Immortal Ship! Those damned nameless strangers dared to hit my Black Stick, I'm going to settle the score with them right now!" Scott said aggressively.

Scott certainly didn't dare to cause trouble alone. He first went back and called several company employees and team leaders to bolster his reputation, and then asked the Earth Balance Division for the surveillance footage of the beating he had received. Only then did he ostentatiously approach the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

"Everyone come quick! The Golden Man Lane Chamber of Commerce has hired some unknown thugs to beat people up! Look at the injuries they've done to me! If they dare to beat people up today, they'll dare to kill people tomorrow! This kind of unscrupulous and violent chamber of commerce should be shut down and have its business license revoked!" Scott cried out in front of the headquarters, attracting a large crowd.

However, perhaps because Scott was universally disliked and hated, no one sympathized with him; they were all just gloating and watching the spectacle.

Xing swaggered out of the chamber of commerce, saying without a hint of guilt, "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation. You've offended so many people, isn't it normal for you to get beaten up? Why do you say I did it? Do you have any evidence?"

"Still trying to deny it? Look at this! This is the CCTV footage of me being beaten!" Scott had a company employee turn on the CCTV video and show it to everyone around.

"Oh no, I forgot to tell Huaifeng to disable the surveillance." Xing scratched his head, somewhat annoyed.

“Hey! I heard it! You hit me! You admit it!” Scott said.

"What did I admit to? Was that really me?"

Isn't that right?

"I said, this isn't me!"

"Look at that brown trench coat, that height, that build, that baseball bat, who else could it be but you?"

"Where's her face? Where's her most important face? Isn't it normal for a celebrity like me to have fans who imitate my clothes and style? It's also possible that they happen to have the same body type as me. So, she's wearing a hood, so what makes you think it's me?" Xingli was defiant but also arrogant.

"And what about the baseball bat?"

Xing took out a baseball bat, stuck a sticker on it, and said, "The baseball bat in the surveillance footage is different from mine. Look, my baseball bat has a star sticker on it."

"Oh my god? How could they be so blatant..."

"If you got hit, think about why you did it. There are so many people on the street, why didn't anyone else get hit, but you did? If you were hit, there must be a reason. Don't slander others. Next time I go there wearing your company uniform, can you say you hit yourself?" Xing questioned, raising her chin.

"This is the first time I've encountered someone as shameless as me, Nameless Guest. I acknowledge your despicable and shameless behavior. This time, I, Scott, admit defeat! However, I won't let this go. Just you wait!"

Xing refused to admit it, and Scott was helpless. After all, the person who hit him in the surveillance footage was wearing a hood, so his face couldn't be seen. Even if it looked like him, it couldn't be confirmed.

"Who's afraid of who? Be careful you don't get beaten up by that kind-hearted heroine again," Xing said smugly.

Scott quickened his pace as he left.

"For my future, for promotion, for my future, even if I get beaten up, I, Scott, will not give up!" Scott shouted in his heart. I have sacrificed too much for the company!
Over the next few days, Star and Scott engaged in fierce business competition!

Meng Huaifeng helped Xing Jiang shut down the pirated Chamber of Commerce app launched by Scott.

Zhu Zhuqing stole back the God of Wealth and Lucky Cat that Scott had sent to steal from the company's branch.

Hong Kou and Po Xiao respectively caught the cleaning lady who kept causing the Chamber of Commerce to lose power and the locksmith who frequently came to replace the Chamber of Commerce's lock cylinders.

Scott arranged for people to sell stinky tofu in front of the Chamber of Commerce, which drove away many customers. They were eventually driven away by Su Chang, a member of the Cloud Cavalry.

When the Chamber of Commerce’s sewer was blocked and sewage was overflowing, a layer of extremely smooth ice quietly formed under Scott’s feet, who had gathered around to watch the spectacle. Scott was pushed by the people behind him and couldn’t stop, so he slipped into the sewage and fell headfirst into the sewer.

Before we knew it, the day arrived for the company to officially collect payments.

Although Scott's methods were unethical, they did indeed affect the business of many chambers of commerce, so whether they could repay the outstanding rent was unclear until Mingxi's accounts were settled.

Mingxi settled the accounts overnight, and Xingxin confidently invited Meng Huaifeng and Sanyueqi to go see the excitement. Sushang also invited Gui Naifen and Huohuo.

To prevent the other party from denying the agreement, both parties tacitly invited Tianbo Company to notarize the transaction.

At the negotiating table, Tianbo Company representative Xi Kui coughed and said, "On behalf of Tianbo Company, I am here to mediate the rental dispute between Interstellar Peace Company and Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce."

"Does this even need coordination? Let me be blunt, the Chamber of Commerce should have been kicked out of Golden Man Alley long ago," Scott said without any politeness.

"Couldn't the company send someone more normal to negotiate?" These past few days, Su Chang has absolutely grown tired of this guy who keeps causing trouble for the Chamber of Commerce.

"Huh? Speak louder, I can't hear you very well." Scott pretended not to hear.

"I said, is there no one else in the company?!" Su Chang shouted angrily, her lung capacity astonishing.

"Hmm... this girl's voice is incredibly loud, it's giving me a heart attack. I hope you'll be just as loud when you apologize to me later." Scott said sarcastically, "As the company's business representative, it's legal, reasonable, and justified for me to attend this negotiation! Who does your chamber of commerce plan to send? That seemingly dim-witted wild girl from the Cloud Cavalry, that cowardly chairman I've never met before, or this despicable and shameless nobody?"

Xi Kui interrupted, "Enough, company representative. Please refrain from personal attacks and state the company's demands."

“The company specifically leased the operating rights to the Golden Lane Chamber of Commerce in order to seek common development. However, the Chamber of Commerce is poorly managed and cannot even pay the rent. My demand is very simple: to take back the operating rights of the dock!” Scott said.

Star, representing the Chamber of Commerce, debated with Scott. Scott complained about the Chamber's poor management, while Star repeatedly accused the company of sabotage.

After rambling on for a while, Scott finally lost his temper and said with a confident look, "Enough with the nonsense. I just want to know if the Chamber of Commerce can actually pay back the outstanding rent? If not, then according to the lease agreement, the Chamber of Commerce should voluntarily hand over the operating rights of the dock and pay additional compensation!"

“Who says we can’t pay the rent?” Xing was equally confident of victory.

"If you can pay it back, show me the evidence!" Scott said with a disdainful look. He had already sent people to estimate that the Chamber of Commerce had indeed turned a profit, but that amount of transactions was not enough to pay off the debt.

Mingxi, the chamber of commerce's secretary, took a deep breath and placed a large box of cash on the negotiating table: "This is the rent for the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, including previous arrears, which have already been paid off."

"What? You actually paid back? How dare you?" Scott asked incredulously.

"Thanks to you, the Chamber of Commerce's profits were indeed short, but the employees worked together with one heart and one mind, saying that this month's wages didn't need to be paid in a hurry, and that this would make up for the shortfall. The president has decided that next month, everyone will receive double the compensation." Mingxi looked at the Chamber of Commerce's employees gratefully, and then said apologetically to Xing, "Our benefactor helped the Chamber of Commerce turn a loss into a profit, but we may have to delay your payment for a while. We are truly sorry."

"It's okay, I'm not short of money," Xing said nonchalantly. It's just a little later, it's not like I won't give it to her.

If she really needs money, there's a rich guy living next door to her bedroom.

"The president has decided to give away 10% of the shares to thank all our benefactors. Miss Xing owns 6%, Miss Sushang owns 2%, and Miss Zhu, Po Xiao, Hong Kou, and Huai Feng together own 2%." Mingxi took out several share transfer agreements and handed them to Xing.

Without a doubt, Xing contributed the most, and the others also helped a lot.

"Huh? I'm involved too?" Su Chang's eyes widened. "Wait! You're withholding the workers' hard-earned money! As a member of a company that believes in the Amber King, I won't tolerate such unjust behavior! Give back the workers' hard-earned money! Give back everyone's hard-earned money! Representative of Tianbo Company, on behalf of the company, I'm filing a complaint against you. Such a conscienceless chamber of commerce should be shut down, or at least... at least it should be ordered to cease operations for rectification!" Scott protested excitedly.

"The Chamber of Commerce has already filed a report with Tianbo Company on this matter. After investigation, it was found that the Chamber of Commerce employees were indeed acting voluntarily, not under duress. Therefore, the complaint is invalid," Xi Kui refused.

“The materials provided by the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce are authentic and reliable. According to the lease agreement between the two parties, the Chamber of Commerce still holds the operating rights of the wharf,” Xi Kui officially announced.

"Yeah! Won!"

The members of the chamber of commerce cheered.

"Damn it! How could this happen! So close, so very close! The people of the Immortal Ship have no martial ethics!" Scott said in frustration.

"Don't forget our bet! Now, you have to apologize to me in front of everyone!" Su Chang shouted, arms crossed.

“No, why should I apologize to you! You were able to pay off the rent by cheating!” Scott retorted.

“Don’t worry about how we paid it back, we paid it back anyway!” Su Chang said.

"You're essentially using other people's money to pay rent. Isn't that cheating? If any rich tycoon can pay the Chamber of Commerce a sum of money and that's it, wouldn't I be guaranteed to lose? Is that reasonable? If you win, is that something to be proud of?" Scott retorted.

“This…” Su Chang was speechless.

"The Chamber of Commerce did take advantage of a loophole, but we won the bet no matter what. The villagers of Jinren Lane can all testify to that. What, are you trying to renege?" Xing said, hands on his hips.

“I… I’m not convinced!” Scott retorted stubbornly.

"Why don't you just forget about it? Do you really expect someone like him, who's untrustworthy and doesn't keep his word, to keep his promise?" March 7th gave Scott a disdainful look.

“…That’s true, then forget it.” Xing agreed with March 7th and said somewhat listlessly.

Everyone turned around, ready to part ways.

Scott's expression shifted several times, then he suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

“You can call me despicable, treacherous, ruthless, and unscrupulous—that’s an acknowledgment of me, Lone Wolf Scott—but you can’t call me untrustworthy or untrustworthy!” Scott shouted hoarsely.

"Who told you to refuse to admit you lost the bet?" March 7th said.

“Who says I don’t agree!” Scott said.

"What are you trying to do? You can't admit it! I won't allow you to say such shameful things! If you want to climb the ladder, what's wrong with being untrustworthy and dishonest? If you really say it, you'll ruin your reputation, embarrass the company, and how will you get promoted and receive a raise?" the powerful figure said, stopping him.

“What do you know? I don’t care about anything else, but keeping my word and being trustworthy is my bottom line as a lone wolf!” Scott said.

"What bottom line? Someone like you has a bottom line?" the powerful scoffed.

"Hey, since you admit it, what are you standing there for? Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't want to, fine, I wasn't expecting you to admit it anyway," Xing said impatiently.

"I...I'm sorry to Jinren Lane..."

"You can't say that!" The powerful figure instantly seized control of Scott's body, changing his tune: "I didn't lose, so why..."

Although his body was out of control, Scott could see and feel things outside.

The onlookers' gazes gradually turned contemptuous. It was one thing for him to deny it at first, but then he admitted it and changed his mind, which made him even more despised.

"No! No!" Scott struggled frantically, trying to regain control of his body.

Scott's expression twisted and turned, sometimes anxious, sometimes angry.

"What's wrong with him? Has he gone mad? Did we go too far?" March 7th asked, somewhat at a loss.

"It looks a bit like the spirit of Suiyang is possessing me and trying to seize control of my body!" Huo Huo said, her eyes wide.

"Could the last Suiyang be on him?!" Gui Naifen exclaimed in surprise.

"What...what are you doing! Don't struggle, I'm helping you!" the nobleman said anxiously, using Scott's body.

“You powerful and influential people, I acknowledge your despicable, shameless, treacherous, ruthless, and unscrupulous methods, but I, Scott, do not agree with your dishonesty and lack of integrity! I despise you!” Scott shouted, and a green flame suddenly shot out from his body!
"It really is Suiyang!" In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huo Huo was not afraid at all. She perfectly demonstrated what she had learned and cleanly and efficiently sealed away the powerful figure.

"Huff...huff, huff...huff..." Scott supported himself on his knees, breathing heavily.

"Are you... are you alright?" March 7 asked with concern.

Scott suddenly stood up straight and shouted, "I want to apologize to the people of Golden Man Lane! I was a blind fool, ignorant and arrogant, only good at barking! Woof woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof woof, woof, howl!"

"You keep your word, you're a real man, I approve of you," Meng Huaifeng said first, praising him.

"I thought you were a despicable person, but I've come to accept you," Xing said, scratching his head in surprise.

“Although you’re annoying, you actually have some good points,” Su Chang said.

"Hmph, don't think you can make me forget today's humiliation by saying some nice words! I, Scott, am not finished with you! Let's go!" Scott tossed his head and left with the company's employees.

Once Scott's figure disappeared into the crowd, Xing distributed the agreement that Mingxi had given her to everyone.

Meng Huaifeng casually gave it to March 7th.

"Huh? What are you doing giving this to me?" March 7th asked in surprise.

“I’m a big content creator, I don’t care about this little bit of money. You don’t have any extra income and you spend money extravagantly, so you can keep it as pocket money,” Meng Huaifeng said indifferently.

A 0.5% stake in the Chamber of Commerce is neither a large nor a small amount.

"Who says I don't have any extra income? I do get copyright revenue from the photos I post online, although... it's not much," March 7 retorted, unconvinced.

"Is it really for me?" March 7th asked again to confirm.

"Mm." Meng Huaifeng nodded with a smile.

"Huaifeng, you're so kind!" March 7th cheered and signed her name: "Hmm, Huaifeng, if you ever run out of money in the future, I can help you out."

……

Scott returned to the Star Peace Corporation branch, where a man was sitting with his back to him at his desk.

"Who are you?" Scott asked irritably.

"I saw what happened in Jinren Alley just now." The man turned around.

"The...leader!" Scott's eyes widened, cold sweat pouring down his back. This was the leader sent by his superiors to replace him!

Why was he notified when everyone arrived?!

"Although you've embarrassed the company, your last few words have salvaged your image considerably. The punishment for the failed mission will be temporarily suspended. I'm giving you a task; if you succeed, all the punishments will be cancelled; if you fail, the punishment will be increased. What do you say?" the leader asked.

"No problem! Thank you so much, boss, I'll go through fire and water for you!" Scott was overjoyed, never expecting that he would turn misfortune into blessing.

"Keep it up, I have high hopes for you." The leader nodded in satisfaction.
