Chapter 430: Xingshengtang expands its business (four in one) (50/126)(1/3)
"No, I really think I can save myself a little more."
"Emmmm..." Hutao pondered for a moment. It was not like she had never seen an old man who had already stepped half into the grave, but could not accept the reality.
She saw that the look on Guan Feng's face was very determined, and she knew that if she continued to speak, he would probably fall out with her, so she changed her angle and said, "Then do you have any family members?"
Guan Feng nodded: "Yes, are there any questions?"
"That's not a problem. I'm just thinking that if you really pass away, you can't have someone to take care of your funeral, not to mention that your family members still need to be notified of such a thing."
Hearing what the girl said, Guan Feng felt a headache and covered his forehead and sighed: "Well, listen to me first. I know my own situation best."
"Since you know better, why do you still choose to escape?"
As the current head of the Hall of Rebirth, the girl has already seen through life and death. In her opinion, the people in Liyue Port are too shy about death.
Death is not an unlucky thing.
Guan Feng sighed again and explained: "Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's weird?" Hu Tao looked at Guan Feng and tilted his head.
"Why is it that my life is coming to an end, but I look very young?"
Hutao stared at Guan Feng's face, pondered for two seconds, and then said very matter-of-factly: "This is indeed a bit strange, but those with great supernatural powers also have the art of incarnation, and being young does not mean that they have strong vitality.
"
Guan Feng: ".........."
"Forget it, let's change the topic. You should introduce yourself first. You suddenly came to our Chamber of Commerce to see President Zhongli, and you haven't even mentioned your purpose yet."
For someone like this who immediately sells coffins to her when she comes to her chamber of commerce, to be honest, she could have asked Qian Yanjun to arrest her.
"Well...that's right. No wonder I had to buy a coffin. I haven't even introduced myself yet. It's normal for you not to trust me when you don't know my identity."
Is there any direct correlation between whether or not to buy a coffin and whether or not I trust you!????
The girl puffed up her chest and said with a bit of pride on her face: "This is the first time we meet, I am the seventy-seventh generation leader of the Shengsheng Hall, Hu Tao, our Shengsheng Hall is definitely the best among Quan Liyue in handling white affairs, so
You can safely leave your funeral arrangements to us."
It is indeed a walnut.
This is not the first time I have heard of Hutao’s famous name Guan Feng.
According to rumors, this is an eccentric master of the Hall of the Past, who is completely different from the previous masters.
I saw her today, and she really deserves to be called "weird" as she is an eccentric person.
Guan Feng sighed softly and said: "So you are Hall Master Hu. I have heard about your name for a long time."
Seeing Guan Feng's expression, Hutao became even more confused: "Since you know my name, why..."
Guan Feng quickly interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Stop, stop, stop, let's not talk about this now. What's the reason for you coming to our chamber of commerce today?"
"Oh, yes." Hutao suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to the Chamber of Commerce, and asked, "Where is Mr. Zhongli?"
She seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly looked at Guan Feng with surprised eyes: "Oh, no, could it be..."
Zhongli, a great supernatural being with incarnation, is also a great supernatural being who is coming to the end of his life.
Putting these three nouns together, it can be said that she suddenly thought of a fact.
Zhongli is the person most familiar with sending immortals in the entire Purity Hall. This senior came to see Zhongli when his life was coming to an end. The reason is self-evident.
Guan Feng looked at the deepening admiration in Hu Tao's eyes and immediately noticed something was wrong.
He quickly interrupted Hu Tao's reverie and said: "Don't think blindly, I am not the immortal you imagined."
"Huh? You are not an immortal, then who are you?"
"I..." Guan Feng hesitated for a moment, and then he admitted openly: "I am the president of Infinite Group, Guan Feng himself."
"Guan Feng!???" Hutao's eyes widened, as if he had seen a being rarer than an immortal.
The reason why Guan Feng admitted his identity was mainly because there was no reason to hide his identity now.
With Barbatos and Morax covering him, the other five gods would generally not do anything to him.
What's more, I have now awakened to my divinity, and the day of becoming a god is just around the corner, so there is no need to be secretive anymore.
Hutao was surprised and considered Guan Feng again.
The emotions in her eyes were a little complicated.
There is surprise, distrust, some sympathy, and a little anger?
"Are you really Guan Feng?" Hu Tao asked again distrustfully.
Guan Feng nodded affirmatively: "Ah, I am indeed Guan Feng. Otherwise, why do you think I dare to drink in President Zhongli's office?"
Guan Feng pointed at the remaining wine Barbatos drank.
Looking at the various wine cups placed on the table, Hu Tao immediately believed everything Guan Feng said.
After all, drinking in someone else's office in broad daylight is a bit too arrogant! If you don't have a distinguished status, you wouldn't dare to do it.
After confirming Guan Feng's identity, Hu Tao felt some anger rising in his chest, but it quickly subsided again.
In fact, the main reason why she came to see Zhongli today was because of her relationship with the Chamber of Commerce.
Specifically, she was a little angry at the Chamber of Commerce for poaching people!
Zhongli is their guest at the Palace of the Reborn, and he usually gives lectures and trainings to the disciples of the Palace during the day.
But since Zhongli became the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, he had almost no time to go to the Shengtang during the day. He usually only came to the hall at night to show his face and then left.
Hu Tao came to talk to Zhongli specifically before and expressed her willingness to increase Zhongli's salary!
But although Shengshengtang is the only funeral organization in Liyue Port, how can its business scope be comparable to Guan Feng's Chamber of Commerce?
Therefore, the salary increase she could give Zhongli was not as much as the fraction that the chamber of commerce gave Zhongli.
Even so, Hu Tao still wanted Zhongli to return to the Purity Hall to take charge, and the disciples in the hall also looked forward to him returning to give lectures.
But Zhongli still rejected Hu Tao.
The reason for Zhongli's refusal was certainly not something as boring as salary.
He is the God of Wealth, and in his eyes, money is just enough to be used.
There are three reasons why he really rejected Hu Tao.
First, many of the disciples in the Rebirth Hall are already able to take charge of their own affairs, and they can fully shoulder the responsibility of training new disciples, so it is of little significance for him to give lectures again.
Second, because he is the God of Contracts, he cannot break the contract. He signed a detailed contract with the Chamber of Commerce long before Hutao came, and he cannot leave office without reason within ten years.
The third and most important point is that he cannot completely ignore what the Chamber of Commerce is doing now. Perhaps it is his inner worries as a 'parent' that prevent him from allowing the Chamber of Commerce to develop at will.
What the Chamber of Commerce is currently doing includes the popularization of communication devices and the right to mint currency across the continent.
No matter which one of these two people it is, it will have a huge impact on the mainland, although he has resigned from the position of Yanshen and said that he no longer manages the affairs of Liyue Port.
But when Liyue Port faced huge changes, the worries in his heart would emerge from time to time, making him unable to ignore the major events that were about to happen in Liyue Port.
Guan Feng's journey across the world will also bring many variables, and these variables will have a profound impact on the entire continent.
Based on the above reasons, this is why Zhongli is unwilling to leave the Chamber of Commerce.
For these reasons, Zhongli also picked out some that he could talk about and made them clear to Hu Tao directly.
He also promised to go to the Purity Hall to give his disciples at least one class every week.
With Zhongli's assurance, Hutao no longer made things difficult for Zhongli and expressed her understanding. However, the reason why she ran here every day had an ulterior motive.
Hu Tao spread a hand towards Guan Feng and said, "Since you are the president of this chamber of commerce, please return Mr. Zhongli to us."
"Give it back to you?" Guan Feng wondered: "How do you say this?"
"Everyone in Liyue Port knows that Mr. Zhongli is our guest at the Rebirth Hall. Isn't it very unkind of you to poach him away like this!?"
Guan Feng's expression became serious. He leaned forward, put his arms on his knees, and supported his chin with both hands.
Oh~ It turns out that I came here to rob someone.
This is interesting. He actually came to his own chamber of commerce to steal his golden thigh. What is the difference between this and a blood feud?
Unknowingly, Guan Feng exuded a fierce aura.
Hu Tao felt this intoxicating momentum, and all the hairs on her body stood up unconsciously.
At that moment, she felt like she was being stared at by a wild beast!
"It's really interesting." Guan Feng said solemnly: "You just said that Mr. Zhongli is your guest at the Rebirth Hall."
"I have never heard of guests being restricted from personal freedom."
Hu Tao slapped the coffee table, and her aura instantly appeared. When she was really angry, her quirky temperament would be hidden.
"I have not restricted Mr. Zhongli's personal freedom!"
"You have come after my Chamber of Commerce to ask for someone, and you still claim that there are no restrictions on his personal freedom?" Guan Feng sneered and said: "The contract signed by Mr. Zhongli and you included the clause that he cannot find other jobs.
Regulations?”
