Chapter 180 Shenji Pavilion

After leaving the door, He Yu was about to pull Fang Miaoling up into the sky, but suddenly stopped.

"What?" Fang Miaoling was taken aback.

"I forgot I can't fly without Erhei..." He Yu was a little embarrassed, "Why don't we use a more environmentally friendly way... to walk over?"

As for Erhei, I guess he is still drawing circles and cursing him in some corner now, because He Yu is so thick-skinned, I am too embarrassed to bother him again.

"No need!" Fang Miaoling took out the messenger jade and operated it. After only a few minutes, a carriage with extraordinary decoration stopped beside the two of them.

"So there are Didi taxis in this world." He Yu couldn't help but marvel, and got into the carriage first.

Qian He, who was in charge of driving, glanced at his young lady in a daze, but Fang Miaoling shrugged, "Don't look at me, I don't know what my brother's taxi is."

……

North City, Shenji Pavilion.

As the most powerful high-end department store in the world of cultivating immortals in Chihuo City, its floor area is naturally quite exaggerated. The walls are piled up with free gemstones, and the roof is covered with free agates. pearls.

However, all the treasures in the Shenji Pavilion, ranging from spiritual tools and supernatural powers to martial arts and elixir, naturally cost money, and often cost a lot of money.

"Pick the sun, moon and stars from the sky, and give them to people of insight from all directions." Ding Buwei, the master of the Shenji Pavilion standing on the high platform, stared at the couplet written by the Chihuo City Lord at the door from a distance, and suddenly frowned and turned to ask, " how?"

Behind Ding Buwei is a huge warehouse, and a dozen accountants are sitting at the door, calculating something quickly.

"Pavilion Master, the preliminary statistics have come out." A thin middle-aged man with two beards stepped forward and said, "For the whole of last year, the profit of my Shenji Pavilion in Beicheng was less than half of the previous year's. , the most weird thing is the second half of the year, almost a month-by-month decline, and the first few months of this year..."

"How were the last few months?"

"Originally the beginning of the year is the best time for business, but this year is very strange, and the profit is even much thinner than the end of last year." Fei Wu said with a wry smile.

"Where did the problem come from? Have you ever found it?" Ding Buwei frowned even more when he heard this,

"Regarding this, my subordinates took a lot of effort to clean up the accounts, which really made me discover the problem." Fei Wudao said, "The main reason for the continuous decline in profits is that the customer base in Dongcheng is constantly losing. And the rate of loss continues to accelerate.”

"Even in the past few months, only two of my big Dongcheng customers registered in Shenji Pavilion had consumption records, and the purchases were very cheap... Yanque urine."

"This..." Ding Buwei just felt incredible, "Don't those farts in Dongcheng have always been the biggest source of customers for my Shenji Pavilion!"

"This villain is also very puzzled." Fei Wu smiled wryly, then hesitated and said, "However, my subordinates have heard a rumor that has risen in Beicheng recently."

"What rumor?"

"This rumor is also related to the Luo family, the majority shareholder of Shenji Pavilion. It is said that the story begins with a boy and a black cat..." Fei Wu said leisurely, looking into the distance.

boom!
Ding Buwei, whose face was a bit dark, hit him straight away, "Are you a teahouse storyteller, and focus!"

"My subordinates indeed heard this story from the storytellers in the teahouse." Fei Wu who was interrupted was a little embarrassed, "In short, it probably means that a demon appeared in the East City and opened a rather strange shop. Now the East City People seem to be consuming there, by the way, it is said that the Luo family was also eaten by that demon."

"Bullshit demons!" Ding Buwei immediately disdained when he heard the words, "The city lord's mansion has a special astrology master who is in charge of detecting monsters. If there are demons who dare to jump around like this, how can the city lord's mansion be indifferent?"

"Then my subordinates don't know. After all, it's just a rumor in the market. Those small people in Shengdou have always loved to weave such gossip."

"Okay, let's put aside the accounts for now, and the time is coming, you can go and see how the reception is going." Ding Buwei waved his hand, "In order to reverse the situation, this time I invited The top clans from the other five cities in the Scarlet Fire Region came to participate in the Chamber of Commerce, and even the young masters of the Chiming Realm are sure to come, there is absolutely no room for any mistakes!"

"Last year's profit was so meager, but the owner of this pavilion has issued a military order in front of all the bosses behind the scenes. If there is no improvement this year, I'm afraid you and I will go to see you!"

"Yes!" Hearing Ding Buwei's cold snort, Fei Wu's expression was also heavy, he answered and turned around and left.

……

"From the east city to the north city, there is still a toll to be charged?" He Yu glanced at the checkpoint lined up in front of him and said in surprise.

"Of course, the East City has always been poor and chaotic. There are a mixture of three religions and nine streams, and even the city guards are stocking them. If some restrictions are not set, people from the East City will inevitably flood into the bustling North City. Will they be able to pay back when the time comes?" How much money is there? Hearing this, he laughed and said, "But my young lady is registered in Beicheng, so she can pass directly."

Seeing that He Yu didn't speak, Fang Miaoling couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why, do you think it's unfair, the world is basically..."

"Uh, no." He Yu, who was in deep thought, raised his head and said excitedly, "I was just thinking, how about I set up a toll booth at the entrance of Luofeng Street, this is a huge profiteering business!"

"..." Fang Miaoling obviously couldn't keep up with He Yu's brain circuit, she was silent for a while before saying quietly: "Boss, if you go too far, you won't have friends."

"Ahem, I just said it casually, so I don't need to take it seriously." He Yu said regretfully, "Besides, I thought about it just now. There are too many intersections around my betting shop, and it's not realistic to build a toll booth."

I'm afraid the latter is the real reason, right?
The corner of Fang Miaoling's mouth twitched, but she didn't bother to expose him.

After passing the checkpoint, He Yu opened the curtains and looked around, and found that the buildings in the North City were indeed much taller than the East City, and the street was much more lively. During the process of He Yu's curious questioning, unknowingly, the mysterious Ji Pavilion, here we come.

"Hey, why are there so many people here?" Qian Duo exclaimed, "The road is blocked!"

He Yu and Fang Miaoling looked with their heads, and at a glance they saw the towering tower tens of feet away. Sure enough, as Qian Duoduo said, the Shenji Pavilion was full of people at this time, and many luxurious cars were parked. Most of them lead the way with beasts, and there are even rare species such as flaming lions and frost wolves.

In comparison, the originally luxurious carriage that the two of them were riding in suddenly looked extremely shabby.

"It must be because of the reward activities that Chief Zhao and the others said." He met him and said that he had already seen a banner hanging above the entrance of the Shenji Pavilion, which said something about "Prosperous Chamber of Commerce" kind of stuff.

"Cars and horses can't get through, it seems we can only go through it." Fang Miaoling frowned.

The two got out of the carriage and asked Qian Duoduo to wait here, then walked through the crowd to the gate of Shenji Pavilion.

What surprised He Yu was that there were a total of three doors in the Shenji Pavilion, the middle door was extremely spacious, and there were two rows of pretty girls with big white legs to welcome the guests, but no one walked in, and the side doors on both sides were very narrow Instead, there was a long queue.

"Are these people stupid?" He Yu scratched his head and directly pulled Fang Miaoling towards the middle door.

"Sorry, this middle door is not for you to go through." However, just as the two of them stepped up the steps, a man in charge stopped them with his hand, and said coldly, "Please go to the side door and line up."
