I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Qian Mian didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Envoy Zhao, please make any conditions you have."

"I would like to ask you to introduce me to the city lord."

This was something Xie Zhiqiu had been planning for a long time. Xia Qiao from the City Affairs Office had not returned yet, and the new manager of the City Affairs Office was also from the Xia family. His own tasks had been stuck and he had no way to proceed to the next one.

Her points were not enough to make it into the top three, so she was not qualified to meet Jingkun.

The points obtained by the City Guard are far less than those obtained by the City Affairs Office. I will not take on any work unless it is necessary.

Moreover, she had inquired about it. Before the city lord went into seclusion, Qian Mian would meet with the city lord once or twice a year.

"You want to see the city lord?" Qian Mian was also a little puzzled when he heard what Zhao Qiu said.

"Yes, I want to ask the city lord for the secrets of practicing the Five Spirits Technique." Xie Zhiqiu told Qian Mian his intention directly.

It's just that the Five Elements Spirit Adjustment Technique was replaced by the Five Spirits Technique.

Qian Mian immediately thought, "You have five spiritual roots?"

"Yes." Xie Zhiqiu did not hide anything. Only by being honest with Qian Mian could he exchange benefits with him.

Qian Mian was greatly shocked. He originally thought that Zhao Qiu must have some kind of spiritual roots, which was why he was so gifted. However, he never expected that he had the same five spiritual roots as the city lord.

In time, when Zhao Qiu grows up, he may not lose to the city lord.

As a businessman, Qian Mian would naturally not give up such a good investment opportunity. "Okay, I will introduce you to the city lord after he comes out of seclusion."

Xie Zhiqiu knew that Qian Mian would definitely agree, but this was too smooth a process as she hadn't even put forward her bargaining chips yet.

But it doesn’t matter, the chips will still come in handy.

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with the boss."

Xie Zhiqiu told Qian Mian that he still had a batch of magical weapons and wanted to trade with him.

Qian Mian took a rough look and thought that although these were not better than the treasures he had just obtained, they were also rare magical weapons.

Most of them are Xuan-grade and Di-grade magic weapons, there are also some Tian-grade magic weapons, but there are really not many Huang-grade magic weapons.

This is much better than the magic weapons he had purchased before, so he directly asked his personal guards to bring the person in charge of the purchase over.

Seeing such a large number of magical instruments, Qian Mian began to speculate, "Could these all be made by Zhao Xun?"

Xie Zhiqiu did not deny it. Everything was ready. He only needed Qian Mian to take the initiative to propose cooperation to him.

Qian Mian had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Xie Zhiqiu did not disturb him and waited for him to think it through. After all, the cooperation was a foregone conclusion.

Soon, people who came to purchase and appraise the artifacts came over and were very surprised to see the table full of magical instruments.

Where did the boss get so many high-quality magical instruments?

The calculation was completed quickly, and the steward told Qian Mian: "Boss, these magic tools can be given 60,000 top-grade spirit stones."

After hearing the price, Xie Zhiqiu calculated that after deducting the cost of raw materials, he could probably make a net profit of 55,000 top-grade spirit stones, which should be enough for him to practice for a while.

In this year, the 30,000 top-grade spirit stones earned before have been almost used up.

He had to practice and absorb spiritual energy, make pills to temper his body, and cultivate swords and weapons. All of these required spirit stones, and he also had to raise Xingye and the little rabbit.

After all, a lot of materials were found by them, so I naturally cannot treat them unfairly.

Now she is just waiting for this batch of magical weapons to recover.

"What do you think of this price, Inspector Zhao?"

As soon as Qian Mian finished speaking, before Xie Zhiqiu had a chance to agree, he changed his mind and said, "A treasure plus a magic weapon, a package of 150,000 top-grade spirit stones."

They both agreed readily because they wanted to make money without taking advantage of others.

Xie Zhiqiu received another token from Qian Mian, which told her that in the future, if she had anything of good quality, whether it was elixir or a magical weapon, she could ask Qian Chuan for a high price.

"Manager Chuan, please give me your guidance in the future." Xie Zhiqiu greeted the manager Qian Chuan who had just settled the bill.

Before leaving, Qian Mian couldn't help but ask Zhao Qiu, "Which major sect is Patrol Envoy Zhao a disciple from? Is he here to gain experience?"

"Whose disciples do you think are the same as me?" Xie Zhiqiu threw the question back to Qian Mian.

Even though Zhao Qiu said so, Qian Mian still felt that this person was not ordinary. He had checked her background when he hired her.

These three siblings appeared out of nowhere and could not be traced, which made him even more curious.

However, as a businessman, he would not ask questions and would just do what is beneficial to him.

That night, Xie Zhiqiu returned to his courtyard in Xiuyuan with 150,000 top-grade spirit stones and some takeout midnight snacks.

There was light snow falling from the sky. Xie Zhiqiu and the other two were huddled by the fire. Next to them were Xingye and the little rabbit. They were grunting as they ate the spiritual food that their master had brought back for them.

After the New Year, Xie Zhiqiu found Qin Si and wanted to resign from his post as inspector with him and specialize in supplying goods to Qianjin Pavilion.

Qin Si thought Zhao Qiu was going to leave, and kept trying to keep her. She had helped him a lot in the past year, getting rid of two people from the Xia family, and even made Xia Qiao disappear.

There is only Xia Feng left, who is occasionally active, but is just a clown and not worth mentioning.

Xie Zhiqiu told Qin Si the excuse he had made up: "Manager Qin, I haven't done anything in the past few months. It's not good to just sit there and do nothing. Others will have opinions."

"Let's see who dares?" Qin Si said with his neck stiff.

Then he looked at Zhao Qiu eagerly and said, "Xiao Zhao, can you bear to leave Uncle Qin and Qin Qi alone?"

Xie Zhiqiu didn't know what to say next. It made him sound like he had abandoned his wife and children. It was simply too outrageous.

"Manager Qin, let me be frank. I plan to work with Boss Qian in the future." Xie Zhiqiu was determined to make Qin Si give up on this idea.

When Qin Si heard that Zhao Qiu was not going to leave Ribi City, it didn't matter.

"Xiao Zhao, this is not the first day you have been working with Boss Qian. Just be a figurehead in the city guard team. You don't have to do anything. I don't think anyone dares to say anything."

Xie Zhiqiu really couldn't understand Qin Si's train of thought.

After the argument, Xie Zhiqiu was persuaded by Qin Si. She said that if she put her name on the list and had the support of the city guards, no one would dare to touch her.

Even the Xia family has to weigh it up.

Ever since Xia Qiao disappeared, there was some chaos in the Xia family for a while. The Qin family took the opportunity to arrange some manpower, and the original one-sided situation improved.

The Qin family attributed all this to Zhao Qiu. As long as Zhao Qiu still held the title of inspector, he would constantly remind the Xia family of their past defeat.

In addition, with the relationship with Zhao Qiu, the cooperation between their Qin family and Qianjin Pavilion will only be easier.

They can invest these saved expenses in other places, and it is not impossible for them to trample the Xia family under their feet in the future.

After the New Year, Xie Zhiqiu started the first guidance class of the year according to the agreement he had made with Manager Wang.

"Special Envoy Zhao, you are finally here." Manager Wang smiled with wrinkles all over his face, making Xie Zhiqiu a little at a loss.

When she came here today, she saw that the managers who knew her were all very enthusiastic.

Before the court session began, Xie Zhiqiu talked to Manager Wang and finally understood why.
