Hua Ruge nodded, seeing their listless expressions, he immediately took out a bundle from his spatial space and placed it on the table: Brother, no need to make things difficult for me, I have the money, brother Zhao, take it, then take out a portion to give to Director General, and split the rest among the brothers.
In her bag was a hundred Exquisite Spirit Crystal, which would amount to a hundred thousand, which was more than the amount of money the whole bureau had to pay.
"No way, brother, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. We already feel bad for eating and drinking from you, we can't take this money." Zhao Tou immediately pushed the money back.
The other officials also waved their hands and said, "We're not here to cry about being poor. Hurry up and put it away."
"Yeah, if you do that, we won't dare to come here anymore."
Although these people did not have much money, they were all quite loyal and had an intense attitude. Hua Ruge gave them away a few more times, but in the end, he did not give them away, and could only keep them.
"Bro, I'm not talking to you as an elder brother. It's better not to show off your wealth. The management is lacking money right now, it'll be bad if they get targeted." The Zhao Tou said in a low voice.
Hua Ruge nodded when he heard this: "Thank you Brother Zhao, I will remember this."
Afterwards, they ate and drank for a while before dispersing.
Just as Hua Ruge returned home, he heard a servant say: "Boss, you're back. There's a host from the divine hall waiting for you in the front hall."
"Master?" Hua Ruge turned his eyes and could guess the reason why, thus he nodded his head: "I will go over now."
When she arrived at the front hall, she saw a white robed person sitting on the guest seat. She recognized him, he was the King Head who frequently came to her restaurant to drink, and even brought her to see the Protector Liu.
"Honored Manager, which gust of wind brought you here?" Hua Ruge smiled and walked towards the hall.
Seeing that Hua Ruge had returned, the King Head stood up and said, "Little Brother Hu, I am not here for any good reason, I am here to send you a letter."
As he said that, he took out a fiery red letter and handed it over to Hua Ruge.
After Hua Ruge heard this, he smiled as before, "Don't worry about it, sit down. Let me see."
As she spoke, she flipped open the thread and discovered that it was a message from the hall master inviting her to the shrine for the assembly. The date was two days later.
She understood what was going on. The hall master must have personally summoned the merchants to explain the current difficult situation of the temple and let them take the money.
Frankly speaking, she was choosing a fat sheep to kill, and she even had to make people convinced. Although she had never experienced this before, she could guess it from the extremely polite tone of the post.
She closed the thread, smiled and said, "It is indeed an honor for the hall master to invite me personally. How could the lord head say that it is not a good thing?"
"Little brother, you don't know yet. To put it nicely is to let you guys take the money. Have you heard about the matter of the Blackwater Shrine coming to borrow money recently? " The King Head had always been closer to her, so she would say whatever she wanted to say.
Hua Ruge nodded and said, "I heard that the insides of the shrine have taken the money."
"That's right. The entire hall has only gathered twenty million spirit crystals. We're still short of twenty million, and we're waiting for you rich people to come out." The King Head said.
Hua Ruge calculated that twenty million High-Grade Spirit Crystal was not a lot, she had spent thirty million just to buy a Divine Pill once. If he couldn't even take out this little bit of money, then how poor was his Divine Domain?
Of course, this was all from her heart, but she did not say it out loud.
"This Blackwater Shrine really has a big appetite. I heard that normally, they only borrow 10 to 20 million?" she asked.
"Isn't that so? This time, he borrowed fifty million yuan. That's simply an exorbitant offer." The King Head sighed.
Hua Ruge calculated according to the purchasing power of the place, this amount of money was not a small amount for the Sacred Palace, so he asked: "Then our Palace Mistress did not plan to take action?"
"Then the Hall Master of the Blackwater Shrine is quite capable. Our Hall Master would not dare to make a move, it would only be wasting money." The King Head said in a low voice.
Hua Ruge thought that this Divine Palace was way too gentle, if he was bullied like this, he would definitely become stronger.
Furthermore, they hadn't figured it out in so many years. It wasn't that they couldn't hand over the Blackwater Shrine, but rather took the money from them to exchange for a large amount of resources for their own disciples to use.
"So that's how it is." She did not agree, but nodded openly.
"Brother, I've brought the letter. You're mentally prepared, so I'll be leaving now." The King Head stood up as he spoke.
"Master, please take care. I'll send you off." Hua Ruge sent the King Head out of the residence, then turned and walked back.
On the way back, he felt that the Blackwater Shrine was very well thought out. He started to ask for less money, causing the surrounding shrines to feel that it wasn't much of a big deal. They secretly increased their strength, and when they became stronger, they started to ask for more money.
This fifty million now seemed like a huge amount, but in her opinion, if she couldn't resist the Blackwater Shrine, then what would happen to her later.
She then shook her head, feeling that weakness was the most undesirable diplomatic tactic. If she did not make a move when the time came, she could only feel more regret and a vicious circle in the future.
She returned to the backyard and saw that Jun Tianxia and Su Nianxia had come to visit again. The two men were still playing Go while Su Nianxia just watched on the side bored to death.
When Jun Tianxia heard this, he tilted his head to look at her and said, "You're the one who shouted that you wanted to come over."
Su Nianxia stuck out his tongue, went over and grabbed Hua Ruge's hand and said: "I was going shopping today, and heard that the rich people's business people would all be pulled out, so I came over to ask if elder sister was really alright."
Hua Ruge took out the name scroll he just received and handed it to her: "Take a look at this."
Su Nianxia took it and looked at it, then said: "So what if you're robbing me, you're being pretty polite."
Hua Ruge laughed and said: "Not much. I heard that there are only twenty million vacancies, and we will be going for all of the wealthy families in the entire Divine Domain.
Su Nianxia, hearing Hua Ruge's tone, could not help but ask curiously: "Big sister's meaning is that you plan to pay for it?"
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "We can't possibly cause a ruckus over such a small amount of money, when the time comes we can just run away, this business will benefit us all, it's not worth it at all."
"That's the theory, but sis, aren't you usually unreasonable?" Su Nianxia felt that this did not seem to be Hua Ruge's way of doing things.
She wouldn't suffer a loss even if she wanted to.
When these words came out, Tuoba Rui and Jun Tianxia both laughed, they knew Hua Ruge's temper, it was not common for him to be willing to suffer losses.
Hua Ruge said snappily: "What do you mean by unreasonable? This sister is growing up, do you understand?"
Su Nianxia realized that he misspoke and nodded continuously: "Understood."
Hua Ruge sat down and said: "The main thing is that we don't have much money, let's just treat it as giving up on poverty."
Su Nianxia finally understood that in the end, she was still rich, and this amount of money was not even considered a loss in her eyes.
That night, the few of them had dinner together. As there was a man around, the two of them didn't drink alcohol. After eating, they went back to their own rooms.
Hua Ruge returned to his room and said, "It's been a few days since I last saw Little Treasure, how about you bring the child here tomorrow?"
"I mentioned it yesterday, but my mother-in-law didn't agree. She said she wanted to stay for a few more days." Tuoba Rui said as he made up the bed, "The elders love their children. Just endure for a few more days."
"Then I won't go out. I'll go and accompany the child." Hua Ruge said.
That was what she said and that was what she did. She had been accompanying Little Treasure in the courtyard for the past two days. Little Treasure had been saying a lot of things recently. He could already call her mother quite clearly now.
When Hua Ruge heard these two words, he felt a boundless warmth in his heart.
The third day was the day that they would head to the Sacred Palace. Only then did she put on the grey robe that was relatively low-key. She originally chose this robe to keep a low profile, but she underestimated Lan Bing'er's idea of spending money on making clothes.
When they were put on, they did not look inconspicuous, but instead very pretty. Gray clothes with black trimming and cloud patterns embroidered on the edges made it seem very grand.
"No, just look at the money. Change it." Hua Ruge looked at the mirror and wanted to take it off immediately.2
