2891 How to deal with the crisis
This was what it meant to be rolling in money. It was hard for Ling Chuxi to be in a bad mood.
The sky was getting dark. Ling Chuxi and the rest packed up their things and returned to the Dan Xin Pavilion together. It was the first day of the store opening, so naturally, they had to celebrate.
Just as he reached the door, he saw shopkeeper Qian walking out in a hurry.
“Shopkeeper Qian,” Xia Yimin said with a joyful expression.
“Manager Xia, you’re finally back. I was just about to go look for you.” Shopkeeper Qian said anxiously.
“Oh, what happened?” Xia Yimin asked.
“This is bad. I just heard that the prosperous Chamber of Commerce is going to cooperate with the Jing clan, one of the ancient aristocratic families. All the spirit alchemists who join the Chamber of Commerce will have the opportunity to cultivate in the Jing clan. The spirit alchemists of our loyal heart Pavilion must have heard about this news as well. I’m afraid that something will happen if the People’s hearts are not stable.” Shopkeeper Qian said.
“How could this be? what did the pavilion master say?” Xia Yimin asked in surprise.
“I’m worried about this. The pavilion master said that he had to leave for a while because of an urgent matter, but this happened right after he left. I can only come to you and see if you can think of a way.” Shopkeeper Qian said.
Pavilion master Meng had recently entrusted Xia Yimin with an important task. He would be in charge of all matters, big or small. It was obvious that he had been trained to be the next Pavilion master. Therefore, when Pavilion master Meng was not around, shopkeeper Qian thought of him first.
Xia Yimin was stunned. He had just told Jing Ziyu that Pavilion master Meng was just pretending to be in seclusion. He didn’t expect that Pavilion master Meng really had to leave because of an urgent matter. Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce had made such a big move, but the pavilion master wasn’t here. What should they do?
“Manager Xia, shopkeeper Qian, is the pavilion master here?” At this moment, a middle-aged man quickly entered and asked anxiously.
Ling Chuxi recognized this person. He was the manager of one of the pill Heart Pavilion’s branches.
“The pavilion master has an urgent matter to attend to. Before he left, he said that he would hand over any matter to attendant Xia to deal with.” Shopkeeper Qian said.
“What? the pavilion master isn’t here?!” The shopkeeper’s expression changed.
“What happened?” Xia Yimin asked, but he had already guessed the purpose of his visit.
“I heard that the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce is working with the Jing family. All the spirit alchemists who join the Chamber of Commerce will have the opportunity to cultivate at the Jing family.” The shopkeeper said.
“I’ve also heard about this. I’m afraid that our pill Heart Pavilion’s spirit alchemists will also be tempted. That’s why I’m looking for Deacon Xia to discuss this.” Shopkeeper Qian said.
“It’s not as simple as being tempted. ” The shopkeeper shook his head and said,”I just found out that although the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce said that all the spirit alchemists who joined would have the opportunity to go to the Jing clan, they would only give a vague explanation if any spirit Alchemist from other pill houses joined the Chamber of Commerce. However, the spirit alchemists from our loyal heart Pavilion would solemnly promise to bring them to the Jing clan after the myriad pill feast.”
“They are indeed targeting my pillheart Pavilion.” Xia Yimin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Ling Chuxi also frowned. When they heard this news, they had guessed that the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce and Jing Ziyu were targeting the pillheart Pavilion. Now, they had only received confirmation.
At this moment, another Deacon walked over with a sullen face.
“Deacon Zhang, did something happen?” Xia Yimin asked.
“You should know about the cooperation between the Jing family and the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce. I have just received a few resignations from some of the alchemists. As far as I know, they have gone to the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce. The other alchemists are also not very loyal to us. I think it won’t be long before more of them leave.” Deacon Zhang said worriedly.
“How could they do this? when has our pillheart Pavilion mistreated them all these years? they actually switched sides at such a critical moment!” Shopkeeper Qian said angrily.
Now that such a thing had happened, how should they deal with it?
