Shi Biao, How Could You Face Senior Brother Xinghe?!

Stewards and managers from all over the country from various industries of the Vast Heaven Sect gathered at the Haotian Palace.

People who rarely get together these days are now sitting together and reminiscing about their younger days.

"Senior Brother Xinghe! Qin Xiangqian greets Senior Brother Xinghe!" Qin Xiangqian suddenly appeared from nowhere, smiling obsequiously at Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe is searching for Shi Biao right now, what's with Qin Xiangqian jumping out like this?

Before Chu Xinghe could even speak, Qin Xiangqian had already taken the initiative.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, our Tianyi Spirit Mine's production exploded again in the first quarter of this year!"

Chu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat...

What do you mean by our Tianyi Spirit Mine?

You, Qin Xiangqian, aren't satisfied with just bringing the Tianyi Spirit Mine to humiliate me, are you?

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I heard you went to Vast Heaven Trading Company a while ago. Actually, business in the trading company has always been the same. Shi Biao is quite capable, but unfortunately there are too many competitors from various sects. Senior Brother, you should come to our Spirit City more often when you have time. I heard that a few new mines have been discovered recently. Why don't you come and take a look?"

I can't watch any of it!

Chu Xinghe was trying his best not to go into berserk mode.

I can't even stand the name "Spirit City"! Is that Spirit City?

That's my place of shame, okay?

Qin Xiangqian continued without pausing, "Among the mining disciples that Senior Brother trained before, several have actually surpassed him. This year, the number of people entering the outer sect from the mining disciples will definitely be much higher than last year."

"Senior Brother Xinghe, you have no idea... Now, quite a few small Lineage who couldn't get into our Vast Heaven Sect's inner sect before are starting to find ways to send their disciples to us to start as miner disciples."

Qin Xiangqian then gave Chu Xinghe a detailed account of the various developments in Spirit City.

Especially the miners' apprentices.

The Vast Heaven Sect recruits three thousand disciples each year, but the number of people who want to enter the Vast Heaven Sect is countless.

However, the selection process is far too difficult to become an inner disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect. Those whose talent data is not outstanding end up finding alternative ways to succeed.

Choosing to start as a miner disciple is a tough path, but with enough effort, one can progress from a miner disciple to an outer disciple, and then from an outer disciple to an inner disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect.

Qin Xiangqian sighed, "Senior Brother Xinghe truly cares about others. This is like opening up a path for every ordinary person who is willing to pursue their dreams."

As it turns out, Senior Brother Xinghe's decision was correct. Although these disciples did not have unparalleled talent, their character and hard work were unmatched by ordinary disciples.

Several disciples who entered the outer sect of the Vast Heaven Sect last year have almost all become inner disciples this year, and their cultivation levels are in no way inferior to those of regular inner disciples. Aren't you scared?

This result has greatly increased Qin Xiangqian's influence within the sect. He used to be just a mine manager, but now he also works part-time to train disciples for the sect, which has significantly elevated his status.

However, Qin Xiangqian was not complacent at all, because he knew that he had only achieved a little bit, and all of these achievements came from Senior Brother Xinghe. He had to work harder to get more guidance from Senior Brother Xinghe.

After chatting with Qin Xiangqian for a while, Chu Xinghe felt completely awful. To run into Qin Xiangqian so early in the morning, and he had to ramble on and on like that... What bad luck!

This guy even said Vast Heaven Trading Company has too many competitors? And that business has always been the same?

How much skill did Shi Biao actually possess?

Qin Xiangqian, look at yourself, and then look at Shi Biao.

Does that person actually have some skill?

That's Senior Brother Xinghe from the Blood Gang, how can you, a traitor, compare?

As they were talking about Shi Biao, Chu Xinghe saw Shi Biao rushing over from outside in a hurry.

Good heavens, Shi Biao must have rushed here overnight. The other stewards and managers arrived a couple of days earlier, but Shi Biao only arrived at the sect early this morning.

Look at Shi Biao's hair, which looks like a bird's nest; look at Shi Biao's bloodshot eyes; look at Shi Biao's heavy dark circles...

These are the people who truly dedicate themselves to serving our Vast Heaven Sect.

Qin Xiangqian, how can you compare to Shi Biao?

Even if they work harder, and their losses don't match what your Tianyi Spirit Mine makes, they can still reach new heights and new levels of financial ruin.

Shi Biao will surely become the biggest loser of my Vast Heaven Sect!

Chu Xinghe originally planned to go and comfort Shi Biao.

However, since Sect Gu Mingchao had already entered with many elders, Chu Xinghe could only temporarily give up comforting Shi Biao.

Shi Biao had obviously also seen Chu Xinghe over there, and kept nodding to Chu Xinghe, indicating that he understood the meaning behind the gesture.

Junior Brother Shi Biao was probably saying, "Senior Brother Xinghe, I can rely on you today!"

Don't worry, Shi Biao, today your Senior Brother Xinghe is going all out. Anyone who dares to humiliate you or say you're bad, I'll take care of crushing them.

The Grand Elder presided over the meeting, and soon everyone was seated, with Chu Xinghe also sitting behind the Grand Elder.

Having experienced the last summary meeting, the group of deacons and managers naturally recognized Chu Xinghe, so they looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Soon, the meeting officially began under the chairmanship of the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder announced the reports collected from various industries half a month ago, starting with the top ten industries. He highly praised their achievements and awarded them with prizes from the sect.

We also hope they can continue their efforts; it's only the first quarter, they must maintain this momentum.

Qin Xiangqian's Tianyi Spirit Mine ranked first, and Qin Xiangqian also made a brief speech after being praised by the Grand Elder.

In short, I want to express my gratitude to the sect for their support and to Senior Brother Xinghe for his guidance. Tianyi Spirit Mine still has great potential to be tapped, so please rest assured, the Tianyi Spirit Mine will definitely reach new heights this year!

Everyone applauded to congratulate Qin Xiangqian, while also glancing at Chu Xinghe, who remained calm.

Look at this... Xinghe is always like this. The credit for Tianyi Spirit Mine clearly belongs to him. Qin Xiangqian was just a successor. It was Xinghe who single-handedly discovered Tianyi Spirit Mine.

But look at Qin Xiangqian, and then look at Xinghe. Qin Xiangqian is as happy as a grandson, while Xinghe doesn't show the slightest emotional fluctuation. That's a level of understanding!

Gu Mingchao nodded in agreement. Xinghe was never the kind of child who liked to compete for credit. On the contrary, whenever there was a punishment, Xinghe was always the first to appear.

That wasn't acting at all; that determined look in his eyes couldn't lie.

Xinghe is truly kind to others and strict with himself!

After praising the top ten, the meeting became somewhat somber. The Grand Elder announced the bottom ten businesses one by one, and every deacon or manager whose name was called hid their head in their pants.

The Grand Elder calmly stated that if you are unable to perform your duties effectively, it means you may not be suited for the position. The sect will not make things difficult for you and will find a more suitable position for you.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the ten industry deacons and managers whose names were mentioned turned ashen.

The elder's words were tantamount to telling them, "If you can do it, do it; if you can't, then get the hell out of here!"

The Vast Heaven Sect is a large and powerful sect with countless talented Vast Heaven Sect. If you don't achieve results today, you will be replaced tomorrow. The larger the sect, the more brutal the competition can be.

But that's not what Chu Xinghe is concerned about right now...

Chu Xinghe was concerned about Vast Heaven Trading Company... Why wasn't Vast Heaven Trading Company among the last ten companies the Grand Elder read out earlier? What's going on?

Just as Chu Xinghe was filled with worry, the First Elder's gaze fell upon Shi Biao.

"Finally, let's talk about Vast Heaven Trading Company. Shi Biao, you've set a sect record, becoming the only loss-making business in our Vast Heaven Sect in nearly ten years. It's truly a pleasant surprise."

The entire Haotian Grand Hall fell silent upon hearing the Grand Elder's words.

Those who were ranked last were clearly profitable, but they got scolded by the Elder just because of their lower ranking. And this guy, Shi Biao, is setting a record for losses?

Everyone began to doubt whether Shi Biao would even make it out of the Haotian Grand Hall alive today.

Qin Xiangqian looked at Shi Biao with a face full of grief and indignation.

Shi Biao, Senior Brother Xinghe painstakingly guided your Vast Heaven Trading Company, and this is how you repay Senior Brother Xinghe?

What? Senior Brother Xinghe's strategy is flawed? How dare you!

When has Senior Brother Xinghe's strategy ever gone wrong? It must be that Shi Biao failed to grasp Senior Brother Xinghe's deeper intentions; it's entirely Shi Biao's own incompetence. What does it have to do with Senior Brother Xinghe?

Just as everyone was wondering how the exhausted Shi Biao would respond, a voice came from the side.

"Elder... I don't believe Shi Biao is to blame for the problems at Vast Heaven Trading Company. All the strategies came from me. Given the significant losses, I should bear full responsibility. Therefore, I implore the Sect Master, Elder, and all the elders to understand this clearly. If punishment is necessary, please punish me. Shi Biao did nothing wrong!"

At this moment, only one person dared to speak up... Chu Xinghe!

At this moment, Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost jumped up. "Elder, please punish me! I've been dreaming of this moment."

With Shi Biao's limited mind, how could he possibly come up with a way to incur losses?

So the main reason for this loss lies entirely with me Chu Xinghe! If you have any problems, come at me! Leave my junior brother Shi Biao alone!

The elders looked at Chu Xinghe, who had stepped forward to ask for punishment, with indignant expressions.

Shi Biao, look at this... Xinghe is truly benevolent.

Instead of shirking responsibility at this crucial moment, you stepped forward to shield me from punishment, and you still claim you lost out? How can you face Xinghe?

The Grand Elder shook his head helplessly. In fact, he knew Xinghe would definitely jump out even before he spoke.

Xinghe is a kind and righteous child; he certainly won't just watch Shi Biao get punished.

Shi Biao was also teary-eyed at this moment... Senior Brother Xinghe is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. In the past, there have been cases where people from sects gave advice and then caused trouble, but those who gave advice and caused trouble in the past all said afterwards that they were just giving advice casually, and that the main problem was with the operators.

They were all pushing the responsibility directly onto the deacons and managers, but look at Senior Brother Xinghe, he didn't have the slightest intention of shirking responsibility, and even jumped out at the first moment to ask for punishment to protect himself.

However, Shi Biao remained completely calm today!

Senior Brother Xinghe, do you know why I'm so late? It's because our Vast Heaven Trading Company has been in chaos for the past two weeks!

Everyone thought our Vast Heaven Trading Company was at the bottom, but they had no idea how explosive our Vast Heaven Trading Company had become in the past two weeks.

Senior Brother Xinghe is so kind and righteous, I, Shi Biao, will not hide anything from you today. I want the whole sect to know that Senior Brother Xinghe is not only kind and righteous, but also unparalleled in his methods. I, Shi Biao, rushed here at the last minute, just to give Senior Brother Xinghe a huge surprise at this summary report meeting!
