If I Refused, He'd Take Poison and Kill Himself!

The situation with the other deacons was unknown, but Tieniu's words were immediately relayed to the Grand Elder.

After hearing Tieniu's words, the Grand Elder nodded and said, "Shen Chun, are you out of your mind?"

Who told you to ask Tieniu?

Doesn't anyone in the Vast Heaven Holy Land have any idea what's going on with Tieniu?

If Xinghe had sent Tieniu to kill the Holy Lord today, Tieniu would probably be at the Haotian Palace by now!

Aside from his Stone-Pointing Technique, the only thing that could fit in Tieniu's mind was Xinghe, the one who had given him a second life.

So, whether others did a good job or not is unknown, but what could Tieniu possibly have done wrong?

Therefore, Wang Tieniu became the first person in the Vast Heaven Holy Land to publicly declare that he did not listen to the Grand Elder at all, that his subordinates were all his cronies, and that he had not been punished in any way...

Although the Grand Elder launched an investigation into almost all of Vast Heaven Holy Land's industries, he was still very satisfied with the results.

There are those in the Vast Heaven Holy Land who abuse their power and commit crimes... but there are really no problems with the middle-level staff. Even those who act recklessly are just a handful, and Shen Chun dealt with them cleanly.

So although the Grand Elder's investigation was rigorous, no major problems actually arose. The reason everyone was frowning was not because they were worried about their subordinates, but because the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce incident had served as a wake-up call for everyone!

The reason why this investigation didn't reveal many problems is simply because the resources provided by the Vast Heaven Holy Land were too high!

Why do people have evil thoughts? Simply put, it's because of desire, because they want more!

However, the resources available in any industry within the Vast Heaven Holy Land are absolutely unimaginable to outsiders, making the cost of taking risks too high.

When the risks and rewards are disproportionate, people are unlikely to choose to take risks.

A minor steward of the Vast Heaven Holy Land can receive more resources in a year than other stewards outside can in ten or even twenty years. If there are any difficulties at home, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will also provide extra subsidies. No matter how big your family's financial hole is, as long as you report it, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will cover for you!

Until you get through this difficult time!

Not only that, after reaching the level of manager under the Vast Heaven Holy Land, their descendants will have priority to enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land as disciples!

Most importantly, the Vast Heaven Holy Land never makes empty promises or shirks responsibility; it gives you what it says it will give you...

Not to mention the managers of the businesses under the Vast Heaven Holy Land, even a mere employee is a superior person.

Being a manager in other factions is, frankly, a job that relies on youth. Many factions have no problem when you're able to work, but once you reach an age where you can no longer work, you'll usually be asked to leave. If you can get a severance package, that's only with legitimate factions.

Many small and medium-sized factions might not even give you any compensation.

However, working as a shop assistant in Vast Heaven Holy Land's industries is not only easy, but even more amazing is that when you reach the age where you can no longer work, Vast Heaven Holy Land will not only not fire you, but will even give you a higher pension!

Furthermore, your descendants will have priority access. If your descendants are talented enough, they can also become disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Therefore, under such favorable conditions, it is actually quite difficult for people from the Vast Heaven Holy Land to cause trouble.

Of course, there might be some idiots who act recklessly, but this time, the Grand Elder has kicked all those who act recklessly out of the Vast Heaven Holy Land's assets!

"Left hand gong, right hand drum! Holding gong and drum, let's sing! I don't want to sing any other songs, I only want to sing a victory song... hehe!"

Chu Xinghe n't know how the stewards and managers of Vast Heaven Holy Land had been these past two days, but he did know that as long as he avoided Wang Tieniu, this would be the most comfortable holiday he, Chu Xinghe, had ever had!

Look at the holidays of the past, were they even meant for human celebration?

Those bastards started talking about how much Senior Brother Xinghe earned this year without warning!

Let's see what you're capable of!

You think you're so good at making money? Nobody else knows how... Pah... Shameless!

Are they showing off their achievements? They're chasing after me Chu Xinghe, with all sorts of bayonets, ready to stab me!

But this year, apart from Tieniu's side, everyone else is doing their own inspections, so they don't have time to brag to me. This is what the New Year's holiday is all about...

In the past, I never celebrated holidays; I was constantly facing hardships!

Chu Xinghe was humming a little tune, looking incredibly happy!

Chu Xinghe said that life is like an electrocardiogram. Although it goes up and down, no matter how low it goes, it will always rise.

And in the new year, it's obvious to everyone that I, Chu Xinghe, am about to rise to prominence!

I, Chu Xinghe, have raised my head. Those backstabbing dogs don't dare to come and stab me in the back anymore!

Doesn't this mean things are getting better year by year? Doesn't this mean I, Chu Xinghe, am destined for great things in the new year?

Just as Chu Xinghe was pondering how to make his grand plans, Lu Chengqing ran over!

Chengqing greets Senior Brother Xinghe!

Although Lu Chengqing bowed, he didn't dare to look up at Senior Brother Xinghe.

There was no other way. As the vice president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, Lu Chengqing knew that he had the responsibility to supervise the entire Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. This incident not only made Qin Xiangqian culpable, but Lu Chengqing and the other vice presidents also deeply regretted their actions.

Although they have all been demoted by Senior Brother Xinghe, Lu Chengqing and the others are smart enough to know that Senior Brother Xinghe's so-called punishment is actually a way of protecting them.

Otherwise, if the Grand Elder or the Vast Heaven Holy Land were to convene a meeting of the chief elders to determine responsibility, they would all be severely injured, if not killed!

Therefore, Lu Chengqing felt that he had let down Senior Brother Xinghe's kindness!

Seeing Lu Chengqing running towards him, Chu Xinghe showed no sign of panic!

What's the panic! Everyone, stay calm!

Lu Chengqing is still in the stage of redeeming himself and making amends. How dare he brag to me about how much money he made over there?

He must be insane!

So even though Lu Chengqing inexplicably spawned here, Chu Xinghe was not worried at all. At most, he was here to apologize to him. He had absolutely no chance to betray Chu Xinghe!

"Chengqing, there's no need to say more about the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Just remember, this is the last time!" Chu Xinghe said with a smile.

Lu Chengqing: "Yes! Chengqing will definitely remember. However, this time I came to see Senior Brother Xinghe not about the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, but because I recently encountered a strange thing!"

Hearing about the strange thing, Chu Xinghe tensed up slightly!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, have you heard of Mr. Black Sha, the white-haired storyteller who has topped the Haotian Mirror's trending topics list for days, ranked first on the Haotian Mirror's storytelling sales chart, and achieved a unique feat in storytelling history, earning him the title of the greatest storyteller of all time?"

Hearing Lu Chengqing's words, Chu Xinghe nodded... How could I not know that?

I, Chu Xinghe, think it's a miracle that this Black Sha has survived to this day!

What the hell? Why didn't I kill Black Sha?

Brother... Black Sha's experiences resonated with me Chu Xinghe... How many people in this world can be like Black Sha, persevering through difficulties and thriving despite all kinds of setbacks?

Based on this alone, isn't it reasonable to let Black Sha?

But when Chu Xinghe heard Lu Chengqing mention Black Sha, he was completely dumbfounded... What does Black Sha have to do with you Lu Chengqing?

Why did you bring him up?

Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe's puzzled look, Lu Chengqing quickly explained, "Senior Brother Xinghe, you don't know this, Black Sha recently came to us, requesting to sign a permanent contract, hoping to become affiliated with our Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce —a permanent affiliation, the kind that can't be revoked!"

"Then let's just affiliate with them..." Chu Xinghe said, implying, "What's the big deal?"

"But Senior Brother Xinghe, you don't know, our Haotian Mirror already had a collaboration with Mr. Black Sha. All his storytelling content on Haotian Mirror is paid content, and we split all the sales revenue 20/80 with him, 20% for us and 80% for him. But now he wants to sign this permanent affiliation contract and is demanding a 90/10 split, which is outrageous!"

Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants when he heard Lu Chengqing's words!

What's so outrageous?

What's wrong with wanting a bigger share? Can't you just consider it helping your Senior Brother Xinghe out by earning a little less?

Besides, the previous cooperation was temporary, but this one is permanent. They've signed a permanent contract, so isn't it perfectly reasonable for them to get a larger share?

You, Lu Chengqing, a vice president... no... a branch president of such a high rank, are you even interested in this mere 10% of the profits?

Chu Xinghe was naturally aware that the white-haired storyteller, Mr. Black Sha, was now incredibly popular, but the question was, even if he was extremely popular, what was the big deal if he lost even a single member of his talent?

Is it really necessary to be so stingy?

Just as Chu Xinghe was expressing his opinion that Lu Chengqing was being too stingy, Lu Chengqing spoke up.

"No... Senior Brother Xinghe, what he meant by 90/10 is that we are 90% and he is 10%!"

Chu Xinghe: "??????????"

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... Lu Chengqing, do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language?

Previously it was 20/80, we were 20% and they were 80%, now they want to sign a permanent contract, so we're 90% and they're 10%?

Are you absolutely sure this was a contract they approached us to sign?

Are you sure it wasn't you, Lu Chengqing, who coerced them behind the scenes?

Who the hell splits profits from 20/80 to 90/10?

Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe, Lu Chengqing Lu Chengqing was helpless. He said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, you're right!"

When Black Sha wanted to join our organization, I, Lu Chengqing, could understand it. After all, it's good to have a powerful backer, and many people want to join the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to find a strong backer. There's nothing wrong with that.

But even if you're looking for a powerful backer, surely you shouldn't give them 90% of the profits?

That Black Sha is really making a killing! The resources he's earned are comparable to those of the top livestreaming influencer, Zang Ling. And now he's suddenly giving us 90% of the profits! I, Lu Chengqing, am completely dumbfounded!

Chu Xinghe: "You asked for it yourself?"

Lu Chengqing: "No... he insisted on giving it to me!"

Chu Xinghe: "So, you want it?"

Lu Chengqing: "He really insisted on... or he'd commit suicide by poisoning himself in front of me!"

Chu Xinghe: "So you signed a contract with him?"

Lu Chengqing: "He insisted on signing..."

Chu Xinghe: "So, did you sign it or not?"

Lu Chengqing: "It really was because he insisted on signing... so he signed!"

Chu Xinghe remained calm...
