Mutual Help! A Win-Win!

"When the Taiyang rises, I climb the hill... When I reach the top, I want to sing... I sing to my confidant... My confidant listens and thinks... wow..."

Chu Xinghe was incredibly happy...

How many times have I been betrayed by those two bastards...?

Every time you betray me, I remain calm and collected. Do you think I, Chu Xinghe, don't want to retaliate?

I was completely helpless... But this time, I've finally found my chance to fight back!

Ma Liang looked extremely worried; you can imagine how chaotic Ma Liang mind must have been.

In this situation, sending Old Qin over would only add more burden to Ma Liang, making things even more chaotic!

With such double chaos, you can imagine Ma Liang's brain would explode!

This time it's finally my turn, Chu Xinghe's turn to fight back...

I've been humiliated by your top and second-in-commands so many times, this time it's finally my turn, Chu Xinghe, to humiliate you!

Upon hearing that Senior Brother Xinghe said the solution lay with Ma Liang, Qin Xiangqian immediately went to find Ma Liang.

But Qin Xiangqian was also a little confused when he saw Ma Liang...

Because in Qin Xiangqian's impression, Ma Liang should have always been very confident, but now if you look at Ma Liang, his hair is messy, his clothes have not been changed for who knows how many days, and he looks decadent.

What enormous difficulty has Senior Brother Ma Liang encountered?

At this moment, Qin Xiangqian did not hide anything and told Ma Liang everything about how Senior Brother Xinghe had asked him to come find him!

Hearing what Qin Xiangqian said, just as Chu Xinghe had predicted, Ma Liang looked even more bewildered!

"Huh? Me? Old Qin, are you sure you're not talking nonsense? Senior Brother Xinghe sent you to find me?"

Ma Liang's words were met with teary eyes and adorable cuteness...

Ma Liang said, "Old Qin, look at the state I've become! Do you think I can come up with a solution for you?"

I know a little about the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, but it was previously managed by Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce Senior Brother Feng Fei... In this situation, are you sure Senior Brother Xinghe didn't tell you to find Senior Brother Feng Fei, but rather to find me Ma Liang?

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, Senior Brother Xinghe really told me. He said he already told you about the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce, and then he sent me to find you..."

Ma Liang: "..."

Qin Xiangqian: "But Senior Brother Ma Liang, what trouble have you encountered? How did you end up like this?"

Upon hearing Qin Xiangqian's question, Ma Liang didn't hide anything and explained to Qin Xiangqian everything that had happened to him recently.

After hearing what Ma Liang said, Qin Xiangqian couldn't help but sigh.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... I feel this time is different from the past. This time, Senior Brother Xinghe is giving you a real test!"

"Old Qin, what do you mean by that?"

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, look... As we all know, Senior Brother Xinghe likes to hide solutions in ordinary words, letting us figure them out ourselves. This is Senior Brother Xinghe testing us. But Senior Brother Ma Liang, you may not have seen the essence yet. Those tests you thought were very difficult in the past were not real tests at all, because you didn't feel much pressure from them!"

Qin Xiangqian said, "Senior Brother Ma Liang, look, in the past, no matter what happened, wasn't everyone watching our Senior Brother Xinghe?"

Ma Liang nodded...

In this situation, Senior Brother Ma Liang, you don't feel any pressure at all. You just need to understand Senior Brother Xinghe 'Senior Brother Xinghe meaning and do as he says. Even if you don't understand it, Senior Brother Xinghe will still be able to solve it through other means.

But this time is different. Look at the Ten-Colored Spirit Stone incident. All the trolls swarmed around you, Senior Brother Ma Liang, like insects smelling blood. Senior Brother Ma Liang, ask yourself honestly, although you eventually denied the rumors and temporarily suppressed everything, weren't you panicked at the time?

Ma Liang nodded, indicating he was quite flustered...

Qin Xiangqian nodded and continued, "Senior Brother Ma Liang, you were never worried before because Senior Brother Xinghe was always there to protect you. Even if the sky were to fall, you felt that Senior Brother Xinghe could shoulder everything for you. But Senior Brother Ma Liang, you don't know this: you are not me, Qin Xiangqian. I, Qin Xiangqian, have already reached my limit. All I need to do is to manage everything for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce."

"But Senior Brother Ma Liang, you are Future to become the Grand Elder of our Vast Heaven Holy Land. The Grand Elder of our Vast Heaven Holy Land can't hide behind Senior Brother Xinghe forever, can he? So this is actually Senior Brother Xinghe's biggest test for you. Doesn't Senior Brother Xinghe know how urgent things are outside? Doesn't he know that the haters are watching you?"

"But why didn't Senior Brother Xinghe explain it clearly to you? It's because Senior Brother Xinghe wanted you, Senior Brother Ma Liang, to try to shoulder some pressure. In the past, when Senior Brother Ma Liang wasn't under pressure, he could understand Senior Brother Xinghe's meaning in various ways and handle problems according to Senior Brother Xinghe instructions."

"Now, Senior Brother Ma Liang your mind go blank, is that appropriate?"

Hearing Qin Xiangqian's words, Ma Liang nodded solemnly, saying, "Old Qin, you're right. This is Senior Brother Xinghe's painstaking effort!"

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, you don't need to feel any pressure. These haters you're facing are nothing compared to what's to come... Look at Senior Brother Xinghe in the past, when has he ever faced haters from all Four Continents? But even when facing pressure from all Four Continents, Senior Brother Xinghe has always faced it with a calm and composed expression."

Ma Liang couldn't help but nod in agreement as he listened to Qin Xiangqian's words...

Ma Liang said that only now did he truly understand the immense pressure that Senior Brother Xinghe had to endure every time!

I, Ma Liang, was only targeted by haters once, and I've become like this? I really need to practice more!

"Come, come, Senior Brother Ma Liang, since Senior Brother Xinghe said he's already told you the solution, then he definitely has. Let's analyze it together, Old Qin Senior Brother Ma Liang. Tell me what Old Qin Senior Brother Xinghe said..."

Upon hearing what Old Qin said, Ma Liang did not hide anything and directly told Old Qin everything that Senior Brother Xinghe had said about the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones in the past few days.

But Old Qin was getting more and more confused and didn't seem to have any good solutions!

Meanwhile, Ma Liang looked at Qin Xiangqian, who was completely bewildered, Ma Liang tried his best to remain calm!

Ma Liang said, "What's the panic!"

Every time Senior Brother Xinghe faces a sudden attack from the entire Four Continents, he can calmly come up with various ways to deal with it. How much pressure have I, Ma Liang, been under?

If I can't even handle this much, what right do I have to call myself Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant?

How can I possibly have the face to become the Future Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

Just as Ma Liang 'Ma Liang mind was becoming clearer, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and in an instant, Ma Liang seemed to have grasped the crux of the problem!

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, I don't quite understand Senior Brother Xinghe's situation either..."

"Don't speak!" Ma Liang interrupted Qin Xiangqian directly, then looked at Qin Xiangqian front of him, and the words that Senior Brother Xinghe had said before echoed in his mind!

First, there were Senior Brother Xinghe's three requirements... To be honest, with those three requirements in place, Ma Liang really didn't know how to make a huge profit; it seemed like he was going to lose money no matter what he did!

But in that instant, Ma Liang suddenly remembered what his Senior Brother Xinghe had said...

People can't always focus on self-interest... People should help each other and achieve mutual benefit!

Ma Liang couldn't understand this statement at all before; how could it be about mutual help and a win-win situation?

But looking at Qin Xiangqian, Ma Liang suddenly understood!

That's right! It's about mutual help and win-win cooperation!

The key lies in the words "mutual benefit" and "win-win"!

Ma Liang excitedly gave Old Qin a big bear hug and said that Senior Brother Xinghe was simply invincible... These four words not only concealed all the plans of the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones, but even included the next development plan of your Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!

Senior Brother Xinghe will always be the same Senior Brother Xinghe who never misses a beat!

Qin Xiangqian was dumbfounded when he saw Ma Liang so excited he was about to jump for joy!

What mutual? What win-win? What is this four-word plan that not only includes the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones but also the development of our Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce?

Seeing Old Qin's bewildered expression, Ma Liang laughed and said, "Old Qin, tell me first, what's the biggest problem your Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has encountered recently, or rather, what's wrong with your plan?"

Upon hearing what Senior Brother Ma Liang said, Qin Xiangqian didn't hold back and directly stated that after the merger of the Four Continents, countless opportunities followed one after another, and Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce naturally found the point of opportunity as well.

Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce immediately set its development goals on the Evil Shadow Continent, aiming to seize its market share in the shortest possible time.

After all, the Evil Shadow Continent is a land teeming with Evil Spirits. If the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce can capture the Evil Shadow Continent market, it will surely experience a new leap forward.

However, when Qin Xiangqian started paving the way with various resources and trying to seize the market, he discovered that the Evil Spirit Clan was very xenophobic...

They were reluctant to trust anyone, and there was no concept of a merchant guild in the Evil Shadow Continent. Therefore, despite the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's significant investment of manpower and resources in developing the Evil Shadow Continent market, they achieved almost no results.

Either they can't secure the new address for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, or the established Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce doesn't have Evil Spirits from the Evil Shadow Continent to purchase anything...

Thus, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is finding it extremely difficult to make any progress in the Evil Shadow Continent!

In a short period of time, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce suffered a huge loss, which is why Qin Xiangqian went to report to the Grand Elder. After all, with such a huge loss, the Grand Elder would have to strip him of his light purple Grand Deacon robe when the year-end financial report came out!

Fortunately, the Grand Elder was reasonable. He explained that the Evil Shadow Continent was not yet fully integrated, and expanding the market was inherently difficult. These losses were reasonable, and the Grand Elder expressed his understanding.

While the Grand Elder understood, Qin Xiangqian felt that if a way to expand into the Evil Shadow Continent market couldn't be found, he couldn't possibly continue as the president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!

At that moment, as Qin Xiangqian finished speaking, Ma Liang burst into wild laughter!

"Haha... Old Qin, do you know why you're Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant, while I'm Senior Brother Xinghe first? It's because your understanding of Senior Brother Xinghe's words is still inferior to mine Ma Liang's... Senior Brother Xinghe solved all the trouble with just four simple words!"

"Mutual benefit! Win-win! Even Ma Liang didn't expect this. Senior Brother Xinghe's backup plan was right here. Not only will he not suffer a huge loss with the Ten-Colored Spirit Stone -Ten-Colored Spirit Stones, but they will also become Senior Brother Xinghe's first stepping stone to open up the entire Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce market in the Evil Shadow Continent!"
