Chapter 530 Negotiation Meeting!
The old man’s right arm was disabled.
The fine net binding Red Lotus also dissipated.
Red Lotus regained her freedom.
She looked down at Fang Yu and found that the ground where he stood had collapsed into a large pit.
“…Thank…you,” Red Lotus said softly, looking at Fang Yu.
“I still have many questions to ask you. You know where I live, come find me,” Fang Yu said. “I won’t fight against the will of this realm anymore. See you later.”
After speaking, Fang Yu withdrew his power, and his entire body was instantly sucked into the black hole.
The black hole disappeared, leaving only the devastated ground.
Red Lotus floated in midair with her wings gently flapping, her expression complex.
…
After passing through an extremely chaotic spatial tunnel, Fang Yu arrived above a vast ocean.
The sky was cloudless for thousands of miles, and the sea was calm.
Except for the gentle sea breeze, there was no other sound around.
“Where is this?”
Fang Yu frowned slightly and took out his phone from his pocket.
According to the phone’s navigation, he was currently in the North Sea, in the position of the Eastern Three Provinces of the Nine States.
This was about five thousand kilometers away from Nandu, still within the teleportation range of the Space Spirit Ring.
However, Fang Yu was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he found a small island in the ocean, found a rock on the island, and lay down to sunbathe.
In recent years, he had been living in the secular world where people gathered, rarely enjoying such quiet moments.
Human tastes are just like this, constantly changing.
After staying in a quiet place for too long, one wants to live in a city full of worldly atmosphere. But after staying in the city for too long, one wants to return to this kind of primitive natural environment.
In the nearly five thousand years, Fang Yu had been constantly changing his living environment like this.
Fang Yu put his hands under his head, looking at the sun in the sky, recalling the events of today.
Source Devourer, Phoenix Clan, Long-lived Ones…
For him, these were all things he didn’t know before.
He had lived for a long time, indeed experiencing more and knowing more than anyone else in the world today.
But the world is too vast, and Fang Yu is by no means omniscient. There are still too many things he doesn’t know.
On the other hand, with the passage of time, many things have changed.
Many things that Fang Yu knew might have already changed, but he just hadn’t realized it yet.
Fang Yu lay on the rock, pondered for a while, and due to the comfort, fell asleep.
…
When he woke up, it was already after eight o’clock the next morning.
Fang Yu had not forgotten his promise to Tang Mingde. He activated the teleportation talisman in the Space Spirit Ring, targeting his apartment in Nandu.
Two seconds later, Fang Yu appeared on the balcony of the apartment.
Ye Shengxue seemed to have just stopped practicing and was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea.
Hearing the movement, she turned her head, saw Fang Yu, and revealed a serene smile, saying, “Mr. Fang, you’re back.”
Fang Yu nodded and sat on the sofa.
“Mr. Tang said he would come to pick you up at ten in the morning to attend the negotiation meeting,” Ye Shengxue said.
“Good,” Fang Yu replied.
“Mr. Fang, did you go to find Little Red when you left yesterday?” Ye Shengxue asked hesitantly.
“Yes, I found her. She will probably come back on her own in the next couple of days,” Fang Yu said.
“That’s good. I was just worried something might happen to her,” Ye Shengxue sighed in relief.
“Actually, something almost did happen,” Fang Yu said.
Hearing this, Ye Shengxue’s face tensed again, and she asked, “What happened?”
“…It’s nothing serious. Anyway, she’s definitely safe now,” Fang Yu said.
Seeing that Fang Yu didn’t want to elaborate, Ye Shengxue didn’t press further.
“Mr. Fang, would you like breakfast?” Ye Shengxue asked after a moment of silence.
“Yes,” Fang Yu gladly accepted.
…
After breakfast, Fang Yu returned to his room, freshened up briefly, and changed his clothes.
Although still in simple shirt and pants, he looked more spirited.
At exactly ten o’clock, Tang Mingde called Fang Yu.
Fang Yu went downstairs to the apartment building and saw Tang Mingde’s private car parked at the entrance.
Opening the car door, before he even sat down, he heard a pleasant female voice.
“Mr. Fang, it’s been a long time.”
Fang Yu looked and saw that the woman sitting in the car was Ji Rumei, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
The time apart had been too long, and seeing this face that looked so similar to Cold Xun’s again, Fang Yu felt uncomfortable and was stunned for a moment.
“Dr. Fang, I’m really sorry to trouble you so early in the morning,” Tang Mingde, sitting opposite Ji Rumei, apologized.
“It’s fine,” Fang Yu said as he got into the car.
Ji Rumei kept staring at Fang Yu, her bright eyes showing an unusual light.
“Why are you here too?” Fang Yu asked casually.
“I’m also a member of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce,” Ji Rumei said.
“Dr. Fang, the scene later might not be very pleasant…” Tang Mingde, sitting nearby, said with a grave expression.
“Hmm?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Mingde.
“Due to the tragedy that befell Chairman Dong, many members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce have announced their withdrawal from this negotiation meeting… Today, the members representing the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce at the negotiation were originally fifteen, but now only five remain,” Tang Mingde said with a difficult expression.
“Doesn’t the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association handle this matter?” Fang Yu asked.
“They can’t even identify the killer,” Ji Rumei, sitting opposite, frowned and said.
“What is the content of your negotiation this time?” Fang Yu asked.
“Jiangnan and Xiangcheng are neighboring regions, and most of the popular industries in the two regions overlap,” Tang Mingde explained. “The main content of our negotiation this time is to divide the interests in overseas trade.”
“Regarding the trade agreement, we negotiate once every five years. The situation is a bit complicated to explain in detail. Broadly speaking, in the last interest division, Xiangcheng took seventy percent, and we in Jiangnan only had thirty percent.”
“And in these five years, our Jiangnan business community has developed rapidly, surpassing Xiangcheng in various industries, and overseas companies are more inclined to cooperate with our Jiangnan enterprises…”
“So, for this negotiation meeting, the goal of our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is to take at least fifty percent, striving for sixty percent.”
“The leader of this negotiation… was Chairman Dong, but…”
At this point, Tang Mingde rubbed his temples, his eyes full of anger.
Ji Rumei’s beautiful and delicate face was filled with grief.
In the eyes of the members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Dong was really a good president, a leader.
But he died tragically at home, and even his family did not escape the disaster. This outcome was too tragic.
It was also because of this that half of the members originally scheduled to attend the negotiation meeting were scared away.
It was just a negotiation meeting, yet they had to risk the lives of their entire families.
Although a lot of money was involved, money is after all just an external possession. No one wants to joke with the lives of their entire family.
Another point was that the strength of Xiangcheng’s martial arts world was much stronger than Jiangnan’s, so much so that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce didn’t even dare to think about retaliation.
The members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce were all affiliates of those large martial arts families in Xiangcheng.
If things really came to the surface, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce would still be at a disadvantage in the end.
“Then you five remaining members really have big guts,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
The other side had already gone to such lengths, and today’s negotiation meeting was still being held in Nandu, Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce’s territory.
This negotiation meeting could be described as fraught with danger.
“With you here, Mr. Fang, I don’t think there’s anything to fear,” Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu, her eyes bright, and said.
“I guess you’re right about that,” Fang Yu said.
The Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce was just a secular organization, not enough to pique his interest.
“Dr. Fang, I have already agreed with the members of the chamber. To thank you for your help, we will give you twenty percent of the dividends as remuneration every year from now on,” Tang Mingde said.
“Oh,” Fang Yu nodded, without much reaction.
Money had no meaning to him.
The car drove towards the Splendid Financial Center in Nandu.
Half an hour later, Fang Yu and his group got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the financial center.
During the process, Tang Mingde received a phone call, his face turning ashen.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Tang?” Ji Rumei asked.
