C63 Butler Qi
In the evening, under Shopkeeper Yang's arrangement, Chu Yun arrived in front of the most magnificent mansion in the Elemental River Pavilion.
Without a doubt, this must be the residence of Great Shopkeeper and Lee Feng.
Chu Yun strode into the house. There were many pavilions and pavilions here. Birds sang and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Everything was unique and elegant. Every place was carefully decorated.
"Rich people, they really know how to enjoy themselves. "
Chu Yun was very surprised.
As the son of Lee Daoran's brother, Lee Feng obviously had a lot of trust in Lee Daoran. He controlled the finances of the Lee Clan, which was why he was able to act so extravagantly in the Elemental River Pavilion. It was really surprising.
Chu Yun walked around, finding everything new and interesting. Every arrangement here was very consistent with the word 'mansion' in his mind.
"Great Shopkeeper, please stay here. Although some of the maidservants who were serving Lee Feng didn't escape with him, for the sake of safety, we have to disperse all of them. There aren't any maidservants in this mansion. Please stay here for a day. We will recruit maidservants tomorrow. "
Shopkeeper Yang led Chu Yun to the main mansion and said apologetically.
"It's fine. "
Chu Yun shook his head and said, "I'm used to living alone. It doesn't matter if I don't use maids. You just need to let the workers come and clean the place frequently. You don't need to hire maids. "
Shopkeeper Yang thought Chu Yun was being polite. He explained a little more, but Chu Yun insisted. Only then did Shopkeeper Yang know that Chu Yun really didn't need a servant girl. He nodded and agreed.
After Shopkeeper Yang left, Chu Yun walked into the mansion. He found a bedroom near the lake and the bamboo forest on the first floor, and then he comfortably lived in it.
He didn't have a high demand for a place to stay, and he didn't have much to ask for. As long as there was a place that was convenient for fishing, it would be very good. At least, the conditions here were much better than the Xiaoqing Peak.
That night, Chu Yun entered the Bluestone Gate again and chatted with Xiao Lee for a while. When he felt an little tired, he went back to his bedroom to sleep.
The next day, in the morning.
Shopkeeper Yang knocked on the door and woke Chu Yun up.
"Great Shopkeeper, something happened!"
Along with the knocking, Shopkeeper Yang's anxious and panicked voice sounded from outside the door.
Chu Yun opened his eyes and frowned slightly. He got up from the bed and put on his coat as he opened the door and asked, "Old Yang, what happened?"
"Let's talk while walking!"
Shopkeeper Yang said and led Chu Yun towards the building on the eighth floor of Elemental River Pavilion.
On the way, Shopkeeper Yang told him everything.
Simply put, the creditor had arrived.
Elemental River Pavilion was in Linghai Giant City. When doing business, many were big transactions. The buyer paid a deposit to the Elemental River Pavilion, and ordered a sum of goods. Now that it was almost time to deliver the goods, they came to ask for the goods.
"But, all the goods in the Elemental River Pavilion were stolen by that bastard Lee Feng. Where did we get the goods to give to them? This is a list from the City Lord Mansion. "
Shopkeeper Yang said in a difficult manner.
Chu Yun frowned when he heard this. Initially, he thought that the Elemental River Pavilion was just weak. He didn't expect the Elemental River Pavilion to be a trap. They still owed someone else's goods and hadn't paid it back.
"If we don't hand over the goods, what will the consequences be?"
Chu Yun asked.
Shopkeeper Yang sighed and said, "According to the list we signed at the time, if we can't hand over the goods when the time comes and delay the guest's business, we will have to pay the guest ten times the deposit. This has completely exceeded the total amount of the goods we have traded this time, or even more than three times. We definitely can't take out the money.2
If the Elemental River Pavilion doesn't return the money they owe the City Lord Mansion, then the problem will be even greater. First of all, the Elemental River Pavilion's assets will definitely be seized by the authorities. After that, the Elemental River Pavilion would need to repay the debt with their assets. If that's the case, the Elemental River Pavilion's assets and land will be sold to compensate for the debt. "
"Looks like it's pretty bad. "
Chu Yun touched his chin and said, "How long until the delivery date?"
"Six days. "
Shopkeeper Yang sighed.
Chu Yun nodded and comforted him. "Since we still have time, don't worry. We just need to think of a way to gather this batch of goods in this period of time. "
"Great Shopkeeper, you might not know. This batch of goods required a hundred fur cloaks. Not only do we need to hunt enough Firefoxes, we also need to make them into cloaks. Just this production cycle alone has already far exceeded six days of time. What should we do?"
Shopkeeper Yang sighed.
When Chu Yun heard this, his frown deepened. It seemed like the situation was really bad.
Not long after, he and Shopkeeper Yang arrived at the guest room on the second floor of Elemental River Pavilion. In front of the guest room stood four armored City Lord Mansion guards. Even if they were in other people's territory, they were still standing straight and imposing. From their attitude, one could see the usual style of the City Lord Mansion.
Chu Yun walked into the guest room and opened the door to see a middle-aged man with a long beard. He was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw Chu Yun, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"You must be the Elemental River Sect's great disciple, Chu Yun, who just arrived in Linghai Giant City yesterday, right?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile while drinking his tea.
"That's right. "
Chu Yun nodded and cupped his fists. "May I know your name?"
"My surname is Qi, I am the butler of City Lord Mansion. "
Steward Qi said faintly, "Shopkeeper Yang must have told you the reason for coming here this time. I will not beat around the bush. "
"What suggestions does Steward Qi have? Please tell me. "
Chu Yun nodded.
Butler Qi said, "I know that Elemental River Pavilion has encountered some problems recently. I'm afraid that your previous order was not able to be delivered. I won't make things difficult for you. If you agree to let the Elemental River Sect do something for our City Lord Mansion, we can forget about the order. What do you think? "
Chu Yun paused and said, "What is it?"
"Nothing for now. We just want a promise from the Elemental River Sect. If we need anything in the future, we will make another request. "
Steward Qi put down the teacup. He laughed and said: "Six days should be enough for you to communicate with the sect master of the Elemental River Sect, right? I know that you can't make the decision on this matter. You can send a message back and let those who can make the decision make the decision. "
Chu Yun was silent for a while after hearing this. He couldn't help but laugh. "Steward Qi, you treat me like a child. "
Steward Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled. "You misunderstood. Don't think too much. "
Chu Yun didn't say anything.
He knew he did not misunderstand. Steward Qi had only come this time to ask him to pass on a message. In Steward Qi's opinion, he had no right to decide whether the Elemental River Sect would agree to this condition or not. He could only play the role of a messenger.
