With Old Lady Jiang presiding over the event, the atmosphere changed from gloomy to lively.

The decision to vote seemed to have suddenly become secondary, and the shopkeepers began to wallow in bitterness, with all sorts of squabbles, with only one central thought: This fixed piece of cake should be given to me a little more. Everyone thought so. However, the cake was only so big, so the public opinion quickly shifted to the Luo Family.

Having committed such a heinous crime, it had nearly pulled everyone in the city into the water. It had even nearly destroyed the entertainment industry, which occupied a third of the economy of Eastsea City. The Luo Family should take full responsibility for this matter. They did not have the qualifications and face to remain in the association any longer.

Suddenly, all the shopkeepers in the association turned into righteous guards, filled with righteous indignation, with a murderous look in their eyes, vowing to tear the Luo Family into eight pieces.

Lin Jing was shocked to see the savages eating like this. He could no longer maintain his calm.

It turned out that this world was really that scary. It was so horrible that he thought they were dogs. He didn't even see them. He just couldn't smell anything. He just turned into a hungry wolf. At this time, how could the Luo Family not be the Treasure Lodge of that time?

He wanted to get away from these terrifying people, away from their greed and greed, so that he could become incomparably strong and develop his iron body. Even if they had iron teeth and copper teeth, they wouldn't be able to bite anything off of him.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, as calm as ice formed for tens of thousands of years.

The meeting came to an abrupt end as all the voices stopped.

Lin Jing didn't know what had happened, but it seemed as if Old Lady Jiang had made the final decision. This was because her face now had the majesty of an empress.

The various managers were slightly displeased, or perhaps they even had a little bit of anticipation. They all started to walk out, with the intention of scattering like birds.

Lin Jing took a deep breath and looked Feng Yuqing in the eye. His eyes were filled with scorn and mockery.

The others had already left. Lin Jing had achieved his goal, so it was about time for him to leave. However, just as he turned around, Old Madame Jiang suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have the time to talk to this old man at his office. There are some things that I need your help with."

If this had happened in the past, Lin Jing would have definitely been flattered. But today, when he met the eyes of Old Lady Jiang, a trace of chilliness appeared in his heart. It was impossible for him to not go. No matter how dangerous he felt, he could only force himself to agree with a smile.

Feng Yuqing originally wanted to go with Lin Jing, but Old Lady Jiang glanced at him. Her tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable dignity. "I'm really sorry for troubling you with Manager Feng's association. I've already asked Secretary Wang to prepare some tea for you. Please take a break."

Feng Yuqing's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Lin Jing, and seeing that he nodded in agreement, she cupped her hands and said, "I am very grateful for Old Man Jiang's concern. I will head over first. If there's anything I can do, you can call on me. It's my honor to serve the association."

After Feng Yuqing left, Old Lady Jiang made a welcoming gesture towards Lin Jing before turning around and heading upstairs to her office.

Perhaps it was a bit ironic, but not long ago, Lin Jing had been a lowly son-in-law that the Jiang family looked down on. How much time had passed? Although it was just a superficial effort, Old Lady Jiang had no choice but to place him in the same position with the two of them following behind.

When they arrived at the office of the President for Wen Jiabao on the third floor and entered the office, Mrs. Jiang gestured for Lin Jing to sit down. She then said, "First of all, Mr. Lin, I would like to thank you. You've completed the association's formalities, right? "

Lin Jing's heart sank, but his face remained impassive. With a respectful expression, he said, "I've done it. Secretary Wang has a clear mind and needs to do things quickly." "About the training center, it was actually just a coincidence. I was just messing around and did not expect it to have such a huge impact.

"Haha, Mister Lin is too polite. With Baolin's strength and status, it is normal for him to be righteous to the association." Old Madame Jiang narrowed her eyes and stared sharply at Lin Jing. "There is one more thing I would like to ask of you, Mister Lin."

"I don't dare to. Speak your mind. As long as Lin Jing knows, he will speak without reserve." Lin Jing's heart stirred. He stood up and said.

Old Lady Jiang waved her hand, gesturing for Lin Jing to sit down and speak. "I heard that the Zhou family came looking for you not long ago. They seem to be discussing some sort of cooperation." This old one originally had no right to ask about it, but I do have a small reminder. "

"You are right. Someone from the Zhou family has indeed been to the Precious Forest Academy. Before this, we had reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, but we have yet to sign a contract." Lin Jing's eyes flashed. He didn't think that Old Lady Jiang would say such a thing.

Since Old Granny Jiang knew about the movements of the Zhou family, as a party that shared the same interests as him, there should be some cooperation between the Zhou family and the Jiang family. Could it be that the people of the Zhou family thought that the decision of Baolin was too slow, and they wanted to use this to urge him on?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jing felt that this was impossible. Based on Feng Yuqing and Zhou An's previous progress, it was already quite fast. To be honest, the Zhou family should have been the ones stalling for time. After all, their goods had not been completely delivered, and Lin Jing had no way of taking over.

So what was Old Granny Jiang's purpose in suddenly bringing it up? Lin Jing's heart was filled with doubts. After he finished speaking, he looked at the old lady.

"You have already talked about this step? It seems this old one is too slow! Lin Jing ah, you were once a member of the Jiang Clan. Although you've gone out now, there are some things I can't just ignore. "This business trip to the Zhou family is not that simple. If possible, I hope you won't accept it."

Suddenly, she said to Lin Jing, "This business deal is worth billions of dollars. Although Baolin has a lot of power, if something goes wrong, it will still be considered a blow." And now is the time for all of you to rise up.

He remained calm and collected as he asked, "According to your meaning, we are not cooperating with the Zhou family, but the matter has already been discussed. Since we have offended the Zhou family, we might not be able to help them in the future in the city."

It seemed that Lin Jing was rejecting Old Lady Jiang's suggestion, but his words were very clever. In reality, his goal was to test the waters. He wanted to see what attitude the Jiang Clan would have on this matter. It was just that the Zhou family had borrowed his mouth, and they had their own reasons for doing so.

"The Zhou family is not the problem. There is justice and justice in this matter. They know this very well." Not to mention that with the current strength of Baolin, it is impossible for them to have any thoughts towards you. On the other hand, if you reject one of them, then you will have more opportunities. " Old Lady Jiang said with a baffled expression.

"There are a lot of people travelling by sea in the Wen Huo City, and two of them even have their own fleet. The reason the Zhou family came to tell you this is because they are not familiar with the sea, so they came to cooperate with you. However, in reality, they have more and better choices. The reason why they didn't choose those is because the best of those families would not agree to this cooperation proposal. Do you know why? "

"Lin Jing doesn't know. Please give me some advice." Lin Jing's heart sank. Since Old Lady Jiang had already said this, it was basically certain that there was no connection between them and the Zhou family. In fact, they might even be hostile to each other. They were here to make him refuse to cooperate.

"Because the gifts they sent, to be more precise, could not really be considered a game of literature. Or, to put it another way, these things should not have appeared. "Once you meet them at sea, things will become very difficult to deal with. The risk between them is too great, so no one else will be willing to take up the task."

Lin Jing's expression changed. He had long since thought of this point in the Zhou family business, but from what Old Granny Jiang had said, it could be said that he was certain of this fact. Furthermore, from the looks of it, the degree of danger in this pit had far surpassed his imagination.

It was very possible that even if he was fully prepared, he would still bury the treasure inside. However, it was already too late for him to retreat. After all, he had already done what he needed to do. Besides, even if he did not accept this matter, there would still be people coming after him.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, a curse could not be avoided. Lin Jing was well aware of this reasoning. Since the storm was bound to come, he might as well let it come earlier. This way, he could face it earlier and avoid being on tenterhooks along the way.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing bowed towards Old Lady Jiang and respectfully said, "Please remind me. I will discuss this with Mister Feng when we get back. We will decide on how we should proceed."

Old Lady Jiang frowned and said, "Make up your mind."

After leaving the Arts Association, Lin Jing's expression was somewhat solemn.

Feng Yuqing followed closely behind. Seeing him in such a state, she asked in a low voice, "Old lady Jiang asked you to go over. What did you say?" She has roamed the city for dozens of years, and her wits are not something an ordinary person can compare to. She's not easy to deal with. "

Lin Jing nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "It really isn't easy to deal with. The old granny called me over and gave me a deeper impression of the dangers of cooperating with the Zhou Family." "If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhou family's trap might be big enough to bury us in no matter what."
