Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

Xi Kui couldn't stand it anymore. This company specialist seemed extremely adept at acting recklessly within the rules, greatly satisfying his own emotional needs.

"...That's enough, Mr. Scott. Please state the company's demands."

Scott stopped wasting time and got into work mode. His entire demeanor changed, and his meticulousness was completely different from before.

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

Xing thought for a moment, then asked, "Why can't the company operate the dock itself?"

Scott's eyes flickered slightly: "Oh, you mean the company is setting a trap for the Golden Man Alley Chamber of Commerce?"

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

Su Chang retorted angrily, "That's definitely what you're thinking."

[Fireworks: Sigh...you've fallen for it, little sister. You can't just answer that question like that.]

[Su Chang: Huh?]

Scott grinned triumphantly: "So you're admitting that the Chamber of Commerce is definitely not going to manage the docks well."

"Uh..." Su Chang was teased again, and became angry and embarrassed: "Ugh...you despicable guy..."

[Su Chang: How can this guy be so insidious!]

[Firework: You're a specialist in the company, after all. To get this far, you must have some skills. Luckily, you found Little Gray beforehand, otherwise, there would have been absolutely no hope. Oh, of course, if you could find a sack, put him in it, beat him to death in the middle of the night, and dump him outside, that would be a different story. Then, with the help of the Yunqi military officers and merchants, you, a local tyrant, wouldn't be afraid to beat a mere specialist in the company, would you? Play to your strengths, understand?]

[Su Chang: Huh? Is that so?]

[Scott: I protest! How can they use such shameless and unethical tactics?!]

[Jiaoqiu: Exactly, how can it be used so obviously?]

[Su Chang: Hmm? ? ? ]

[March 7th: So you mean we can do it secretly? You have a plan too?]

[Jing Yuan: Ahem, the official Xianzhou Luofu organization always acts with integrity and can withstand scrutiny from anyone. Unless targeting an enemy, they will not easily resort to scheming.]

[Star: And the definition of the enemy is quite flexible?]

[Jingyuan: Danheng, I think your friend is a little thirsty.]

Scott smiled smugly: "The company specifically leased the operating rights to the Golden Man Lane Chamber of Commerce in order to seek common development. However, the Chamber of Commerce refused to cooperate with the major shops in Golden Man Lane, and the once bustling dock is now deserted."

"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."

"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."

Xing's eyes darted around, seemingly lacking confidence, before she forced a rebuttal: "What makes you think we can't afford the rent?"

Scott scoffed: "If you can pay it back, then produce the evidence."

"Are you kidding? What's the difference between these guys and the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce from before? He's already investigated these people. Including Su Chang and Xing, their two outside helpers, they have absolutely no business experience! How could they possibly cause Jinren Lane's revenue to suddenly skyrocket in just a few days, earning enough to cover the rent?"

Unless you win the lottery!

Xing was waiting for this sentence: "The dock has been returned."

She held her head high, her chest puffed out, as if surrounded by cartoonish lines representing tension, her whole being radiant: "This is the rent for the Golden Man Alley Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has turned a profit and is able to pay off its debts."

Su Chang slammed a Galaxy Card along with a detailed report on the table; facts speak louder than words.

"W-what?" Scott was utterly astonished, taking the card and report and repeatedly confirming incredulously, "You actually paid it back? How dare you?!"

Given Jinrenxiang's ability to make money, they wouldn't be able to pay it back even in ten thousand years; they would only lose more and more!

After reviewing the materials and confirming their accuracy, Xi Kui immediately concluded: "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 dock."

[Fireworks: Where did Little Gray learn this skill?]

Not only Scott, but even those who stood with Xing were equally astonished. In just a few days, Xing had actually turned a profit by improving efficiency through internal reforms, and had even managed to earn enough rent in one fell swoop.

Wasn't she suffering from amnesia? Could it be that her talent is really that amazing, that she can accomplish whatever she says and master whatever she tries?

[Star: Ha! This is the ultimate wisdom of Akivili. A professional galaxy savior, a self-taught business genius, is here! What's a mere dying merchant guild? I'll revive it in an instant, kid!]

[Gold Sand: Haha, I must say, to be able to save a commercial street that even the chamber of commerce's own members had little hope for in such a short time truly deserves the title of business genius. And this is all without any formal training. If we could give her company the most in-depth and comprehensive training in business acumen, we might actually witness the rise of a new business empire.]

[March 7th: Do you professionals also give it such high praise?]

[Jade: It's a pity Xing didn't join the company. But it's also good news; her absence makes her even more valuable to Galaxy.]

Even with his love of jade and his discerning eye for raw gems, he had to admit that no matter how talented Xing was in business, getting involved in this was a misguided path.

……

For companies, there is no language more easily understood than money, except for force.

Star threw out a large number of credits, sealing the deal and leaving Scott speechless.

After Xi Kui, acting as the notary, made her ruling on the matter, she immediately moved on to the next topic: "Next, the Chamber of Commerce claims that Representative Scott has been secretly sabotaging the dock's operations. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Scott vehemently denied it: "Stop making baseless accusations. Why would I resort to such underhanded tactics? Your lousy dock has no business partners and is plagued by frequent accidents. What does that have to do with me?"

He said, feeling very aggrieved, "Besides, I don't participate in the dockside cargo dispatch. Do you think I bribed the dockworkers? That's ridiculous."

Xing crossed her arms, already noticing that Scott, despite wearing sunglasses, couldn't hide his panic. Her eyes were sharp as swords: "Is it possible that you really bribed the dockworkers?"

[Fireworks: A pound of pears!]

Scott vehemently denied it: "Words are meaningless; produce the evidence!"

Xing pulled out the dockworkers' testimonies and slammed them on the table: "Ah Feng has confessed everything!"
