The enmity formed at the last birthday banquet could be said to be irreconcilable. Xu lingchong could jump out from the dark at any time to launch a sneak attack. With the strength of the other party’s perfected Foundation establishment realm, there was no doubt that it would be difficult to deal with.
But things were much better now-not only the three pavilions, but even the entire North Island was covered in wanted posters from the law enforcement Hall. Let alone sneak attacking Lin Yi, Xu lingchong didn’t even dare to show himself-at least for a short period of time, Lin Yi didn’t have to worry about his threat.
However, Lin Yi soon received bad news-Hong Zhong was about to leave the North Island.
As the soon-to-be Vice-President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong’s departure was a foregone conclusion the moment he was appointed. What really gave Lin Yi a headache was what Hong Zhong told him before he left.
“Lin shaoxia, as per your request, I’ve already told the headquarters to keep your honorary Vice President status a secret. Only the president and the Executive Vice President will know about it. Don’t worry.” Hong Zhong said.
“Yes, I’ll have to trouble elder Hong.” Lin Yi sighed in relief.
It was only natural-with his status as a newbie in the pavilion, he’d be attracting hatred points if he suddenly became the honorary Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. People would be jealous of him, and it didn’t fit his purpose of keeping a low profile.
However, Hong Zhong’s next words caused his expression to change slightly. “I’m leaving today to take up the position of Vice President in Nakajima. If nothing goes wrong, the new manager of the North Island branch will arrive in two days. You have to be careful of this person, young hero Lin.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed.
“This person is called si tsunami. He was originally the inspector of the four directions of the Hong Ying group at the Nakajima headquarters. He was responsible for supervising the branch’s shopkeeper. This time, he took advantage of the vacancy in the North Island branch and spent a lot of effort to fight for this shopkeeper position.” Hong Zhong paused.”There’s one thing you don’t know yet, young hero Lin. Previously, the southern Heaven Gate came to threaten me to reveal the details of your other identity. At that time, they used si tsunami’s personal letter as a threat.”
“So, this si tsunami has a close relationship with Nan Tianba and the others?” Lin Yi’s head hurt.
With his friendship with Hong Zhong, it would be a piece of cake for him to ask the Hong Chamber of Commerce for help in the future, such as acquiring the heart-devouring exquisite grass and the like. Even if it was someone else, with Hong Zhong, the Vice President with real power, explaining, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
However, if the successor was someone who had a close relationship with Nan Tianba and the others, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to find the Hong Chamber of Commerce for help.
Even if Hong Zhong was his direct superior, the branch manager was a Lord and had great autonomy. If he insisted on not cooperating with him on such a small matter that had nothing to do with principles, even Hong Zhong could not do anything to him.
“That’s right. This guy is from the Hong shadow group, so his intelligence monitoring ability is far above ordinary people. Once you are targeted by him, it will be difficult to keep any secrets. So, young hero Lin, you must be careful.” Hong Zhong reminded him again.
Lin Yi nodded,”I understand. Thank you for your concern, elder Hong. I’m sure you’ll face many challenges in the middle Island. I wish you all the best!”
Hong Zhong laughed.”Then I’ll count on young hero Lin’s good words. I’ll go to Nakajima first to fight. If there are no accidents, we’ll meet again in Nakajima soon!”
“Goodbye, Nakajima!” Lin Yi smiled.
Hong Zhong thought that the new branch Manager, si tsunami, would only arrive after a few days. He didn’t know that si tsunami had already arrived on the North Island when he said goodbye to Lin Yi. He just didn’t show up and had been investigating in secret.
Before the troops and horses moved, the intelligence was the first. As the former Hong shadow group’s inspector of four directions, even if si tsunami became the manager of the North Island branch, he would not change this habit that he had developed for many years.
As for Nan Tianba and the others, they were the local tyrants of the North Island and had all kinds of connections with him. Their relationships were reliable, so they were naturally the first candidates for si tsunami to understand the situation.
“Supervisor si, oh no, it should be manager si now. I didn’t expect you to be transferred to the North Island. This news really made us overjoyed. We’ve finally found a backer. We’ll have to ask manager si to take care of us in the future!” South Heaven Gate said with a flattering smile.
Nan Tianba was unruly and disdainful of flattery, while Yu Zhe’s level was not high enough. Therefore, among the few of them, his Southern Heaven Gate had the closest relationship with si tsunami.
“Well said, well said. We’re all on the same side. In the future, as long as you help me well, I won’t mistreat you, hahaha! However, this shopkeeper has just arrived here, and my understanding of the North Island is mostly based on the information given. As for the specific situation, I will need you to explain it to me in detail. ” Si tsunami said with a casual and approachable face.
“Alright, alright, alright.” South Heaven Gate was happy to show off and immediately nodded.
Although they seemed to look down on Hong Zhong before, the position of the manager of the North Island branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce was very important to anyone. Otherwise, Hong Zhong would not have been able to easily become a guest of honor of Shangguan Tianhua and the other top figures of the three pavilions. If he could curry favor with him, the benefits were self-evident.
Especially after these few confrontations with Hong Zhong, they knew the foundation of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, so they were even more respectful.
The three men from the southern Heaven Gate immediately poured out everything they knew about the situation on the North Island. They didn’t even hide the secrets of the three pavilions.
In the end, Nantian men didn’t forget to mention Lin Yi. Although they were sure that Lin Yi wasn’t the Lin er they were looking for, they had made an enemy of Lin Yi and hongzhong after the incident at the northernmost Island.
It would be a waste if he didn’t make good use of si tsunami’s support.
After listening to their narration, si tsunami pondered for a moment and said,””I think it’s best to let this matter rest for now. Hong Zhong’s in the limelight right now, and after he leaves for Nakajima and is separated from Lin Yi for a long time, their relationship will naturally fade. It won’t be too late to make a move on Lin Yi then.”
Hearing these words, Nan Tianba and the others looked at each other in dismay. This wasn’t right, the meaning of shirking was too obvious.
Seeing their obscure expressions, si tsunami continued,””As for Hong Zhong, I will replace him sooner or later. Don’t worry, I will make him pay for the humiliation he brought to you ten times or a hundred times. No matter what, your uncle has helped me to take over my position, so I will not ignore your matter. You can rest assured about this, just wait for the right time.”
