Scott didn't engage in verbal sparring and started to get straight to the point:

"The company specifically leased the operating rights to the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce in order to seek common development."

Su Chang interrupted:

"Tch, why didn't the company operate the dock itself in the first place? They must have had other plans."

"Oh? You mean the company is setting a trap for the Golden Man Alley Chamber of Commerce?" Scott crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

"The company leases the chamber of commerce to the dock, and then the chamber of commerce is mismanaged in order to completely destroy the reputation it has built up?"

Su Chang nodded and said:

"That's definitely what you all planned!"

Scott sneered:

"You're basically admitting that the Chamber of Commerce is definitely not good at managing the docks!"

"How foolish..."

"You!" Su Chang was so angry that she gritted her teeth after experiencing Scott's sharp tongue.

Scott continued:

"The company leased the dock to the Chamber of Commerce, but what about you?"

"The Chamber of Commerce actually refused to cooperate with the major shops in Jinren Lane. The once bustling wharf has now been turned into this state..."

Mingxi frowned slightly and retorted:

"The Chamber of Commerce has never refused to cooperate with shops in Jinren Lane."

"No refusal?" Scott sneered twice.

"Alright, let me ask you, how many shops have joined your logistics network now?"

Su Chang said unhappily:

"There will be more in the future!"

"Later?" Scott almost laughed.

"How long later? According to your Xianzhou people's concept of time, five hundred years later?"

"Haha...can the shops here afford to wait?!"

Scott's words startled Su Chang, who immediately looked to Yan, who had been labeled as mentally ill, for help.

"Uh... this... ten years? Twenty years? Brother Yan Huan, what should we do? I... I don't know either."

"cut!"

Yan hoisted the steel pipe onto his shoulder and said disdainfully to Scott:

"Wasn't it you who deliberately gave those merchants money to make them refuse to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce?"

"You actually tried to sow discord among the Immortal Ship people. It seems... the recent invasion by the Great Lord of Annihilation was also related to you."

"W-What?!" Scott's pupils dilated suddenly:

"You bastard, you can't just say things like that...! As a business representative for the company, how could I possibly collude with the Destroyer Faction?!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yan Huan said with a faint smile.

"Since they're so eager to distance themselves, I suggest a thorough investigation."

Scott's face grew increasingly grim:

"Don't try to label me! We're talking about business issues right now!"

"The Jinren Lane Wharf has low transportation efficiency and low transaction volume, and it does not create any value at all. This is evidence of poor management!"

Su Chang retorted:

"Pshaw, the docks have already improved transportation efficiency, and the volume of shipments is constantly increasing, okay!"

"Huh?" Scott found it somewhat amusing.

"You don't think this amount of trading volume is enough, do you?"

"The shops in Jinren Lane aren't here to play house with you; everyone's here to make money!"

"Furthermore, given the Chamber of Commerce's inability to pay the rent, we believe that the Chamber should voluntarily relinquish its operating rights at the wharf and pay additional compensation!"

Su Chang pointed at Scott's nose and yelled:

"What makes you think we can't afford the rent?!"

“Oh?” Scott said sarcastically.

"If you can afford it, then produce the evidence! What kind of skill is it to just make a racket here?"

"For us businessmen, money comes first! Where's the money? Where's the money? Huh?" Scott leaned forward, questioning the three people opposite him.

"Tell me right now, where did all the money go?! Huh?! You can't even pay the rent, how can the company believe you can create value?!"

Mingxi frowned, grabbed a document in front of her, and pushed it to the center of the table:

"This is proof of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce's financial statements. The Chamber of Commerce has turned a profit and is able to pay off its debts."

"?"

Scott was momentarily stunned.

Looking down silently at the documents Mingxi pushed towards him, he said with some disbelief:

"What?! You guys can pay this back? I clearly...!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You must have falsified the accounts!"

Scott immediately picked up the document and carefully flipped through it page by page.

But what he saw made him break out in a cold sweat.

Chapter 375 Give Me Your Phone

broken!

The biggest reason the company can hold the chamber of commerce accountable like this is because the chamber of commerce can't even afford to pay its rent.

But if they pay rent, everything will be different.

"You actually retaliated? What right do you have!"

Scott slammed his fist on the table in anger:

"You guys actually managed to pay the rent under these circumstances...it's unbelievable...!"

Xi Kui stood in the center and said in a deep voice:

“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.”

He then silently looked at Scott, his tone calm:

"Next, the Chamber of Commerce claims that Scott has been secretly sabotaging the port's operations. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Upon hearing Yuuki's question, Scott immediately lost his temper:

"Stop making baseless accusations! Why would I resort to underhanded tactics?!"

"Your shabby dock has no business partners and is prone to accidents. What does that have to do with me?!"

Su Chang said angrily:

"Hey~ You're still pretending!"

"Who was it that ran so fast back then? You don't remember the incident with the Golden Toad in the Thick Clouds, do you?!"

Yan silently pushed a document forward.

“What is this?!” Scott frowned.

Seeing Scott's confusion, Yan Huan explained:

"This is your chat history with dockworker Afeng, along with Afeng's testimony. He has admitted that you bribed him to sabotage things, so stop pretending, okay?"

"W-what?!" Scott's eyes widened, then he calmly smiled:

"Hey, this evidence must be fabricated by you!"

"That's right!"

Scott crossed his arms, trying to remain calm: "Who doesn't know the dockworkers are your men? It's easy to get them to give false testimony, isn't it?"

"With technology so advanced these days, anyone can create fake chat logs!"

"You...!" Su Chang gritted her teeth in anger.

Good heavens, this bastard not only denies it, but also turns the tables!

It's as if he wasn't the one who ran away back then.

"Then tell me, why did you run away last time?" Su Chang frowned slightly and questioned.

"Can't I pee?!" Scott retorted.

"Besides, I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business!"

Seeing that Scott was actually acting like a rogue, Su Chang looked helplessly at Yan beside her again.

"What should we do now... this guy is denying it."

"Ugh."

Yan Huan sighed and spoke to Scott in front of her:

"Give me your phone."
