Chapter 289 Things are different now
"Manager Zhou, you are too polite. Take care, take care. You don't have to see me off."

A warrior in the middle stage of Qi and Blood smiled and bowed, declining Father Zhou's offer to see him off.

Father Zhou bowed to him and said, "In the future, the company will have to rely more on Master Liu."

"."

The two exchanged polite words and walked each other to the door before parting.

Father Zhou looked at the other person's back as he walked away and breathed a sigh of relief. The managers around him came over and asked, "Is it finalized?"

"No problem, I agreed, and the terms have been agreed upon. I didn't raise the price."

Father Zhou sighed, "Master Liu is still reasonable."

Manager Xu at the side shook his head and said, "Old Zhou, among our old buddies, no one can possibly make him so 'reasonable' as you can."

There was unrest outside the city. As the situation deteriorated, the transportation of the caravan became more and more difficult. The only two Qi and Blood Warriors were not enough. Master Shen had no choice but to recruit Qi and Blood Warriors on the market to help.

Fortunately, the market is in recession and it is not as difficult for the warriors to eat as before.

The problem is that facing the increasingly harsh environment, it is too strenuous for people like Shen Sijing and Xu Ying who are just starting out in Qi and blood.

The top executives of the business gritted their teeth and decided to hire warriors with mid-level Qi and blood to increase their strength.

However, as we all know, warriors are respected for their strength, and the stronger they are, the more arrogant they are. Although a business can afford the money, it may not necessarily make the other party willing to serve.

After much deliberation, Mr. Shen asked Old Man Zhou to make an invitation.

The result was that Master Liu, a master of Qi and Blood Level 5, showed no signs of rebellion in front of Old Man Zhou.

After chatting for an hour or two, the terms of cooperation between the two parties were finalized.

Old Man Zhou is in a confused situation, but his colleagues all know that the fundamental reason is that he has a good son.

A young martial arts genius with high Qi and blood level, Clap-winged Tiger Zhou You.

The news spread throughout the martial arts circle that Zhou You had fought the Second Young Master Qi to a draw. Not only did he not offend the Qi family, but he also established a relationship with the Third Young Master Qi and became an honored guest of the aristocratic family.

After the news spread, some warriors in the city were envious and some were jealous, because they all knew that Zhou You had become rich.

People like Master Liu are not only unable to defeat Zhou You, but they also treat the aristocratic families like gods. They can't wait to behave like a junior in front of Old Man Zhou. How dare they be arrogant?

It is conceivable that as the business increasingly relies on the power of warriors, Father Zhou's position will become more and more important.

"Why!?"

When Mr. Shen learned about this, he felt both happy and worried.

The good news is that we have successfully hired a warrior with middle-level Qi and blood. The caravan's escort capability will be even stronger. Moreover, with Zhou Laocan keeping an eye on it, this warrior won't dare to cause any trouble.

After all, Old Man Zhou's son is in the latter stage of Qi and blood, and is recognized by the market as the company's greatest military support.

What is worrying is that the company's channels relying on Zhou You are still too weak, and it relies on the relationship with Zhou's father.

If the marriage could have been accomplished, he would have been Zhou You's father-in-law. With this identity, those unruly warriors would have given him face.

Now, only Old Man Zhou can negotiate and his words are effective, no one else can, including him, the boss of the business.

"Siying, this girl, has high aspirations, but she doesn't know how much good fortune she has missed."

Mr. Shen is a pragmatic person. He knows that troubled times are coming and only by relying on strong military force can they survive. He originally had his eyes on Zhou You, but his daughter was willful and refused.

Although his son Shen Sijing is an outstanding person, he has to help with the business and practice boxing at the same time, and it is really tiring for him to run around so much.

Seeing that there are few people in the family, the only hope is to attract help from in-laws.

Hey!
Mr. Shen was feeling worried, but he saw his son coming in with a lot on his mind, and called him "Dad".

"Sijing, what's the matter?"

Shen Sijing frowned. He originally didn't intend to tell his father, but since he was asked, he had to say it. "Dad, don't mention the fact that our family was interested in marrying Zhou You anymore?"

What? What happened? Did Zhou You make some suggestions?

"Do you still remember the third son of the Qi family?"

"Remember, isn't he learning boxing in a martial arts gym? He is still your senior brother in terms of seniority!"

"He sent someone to inform me that the Qi family intends to recruit Zhou You as a son-in-law. For the sake of reputation, we are not allowed to mention that we had wanted to marry Zhou You. This is a warning."

Too domineering!

The Qi family wants to recruit Zhou You as their son-in-law, but before anything happens, they have to shut their mouths.

Mr. Shen was not angry, but felt it was natural. What did it mean that a noble family was interested in Zhou You?
He then sighed again, "Kid, Zhou Youyi is already on his way to success, we can't hold him back."

"Issue the whole government that anyone who dares to gossip will have his tongue cut off."

Master Shen said in a murderous tone, "As for your sister, now is not the time for her to be willful. If she leaks any news, I will treat her as if I don't have this daughter."

"Dad, it doesn't have to be that bad."

Shen Sijing said this verbally, knowing that his father was furious. This was a matter of life and death concerning the entire family.

He felt deeply that Junior Brother Zhou You was no longer someone they could marry, and they even tried their best to distance themselves from the marriage. He couldn't help but wonder, if his younger sister had agreed, what would have happened now?
Jianxiong Martial Arts School...

"Master, this set of White Tiger Seven Killings has doubled its power after being integrated with Iron Tiger Killings."

"I am already invincible in the middle stage of Qi and Blood."

Lu Jianqing threw a punch, and the gray-iron-colored fist wind pierced through more than a dozen layers of stone slabs, and the force was still unabated.

Finally, the fist mark landed on the target made of seven layers of cowhide, melting and piercing it silently.

He was full of confidence. After entering the 4th stage of Qi and Blood, his strength increased day by day.

During the holidays, you may want to challenge the tour that has already entered the latter stage of Qi and blood.

Lu Jianqing has outstanding talent in boxing and martial arts, but the shadow of Zhou You always hangs over his head. Even though his progress is the fastest in the martial arts school, people always mention Zhou You's name.

There were even disciples who secretly disliked him, and secretly spread that if Zhou You had not been forced away by him, the martial arts school would have been more prosperous. He practiced boxing hard, almost to the point of self-abuse, squeezing his potential to the extreme, just to prove himself.

"Not bad!"

Wang Jianxiong was not in a good mood today. He made a few comments but did not give him any instructions.

Lu Jianqing noticed that his master was in a bad mood, so he tried to ask, "Master, is there anything going on recently?"

"Well, it's okay to tell you. There's news from the Qi family that they might recruit Zhou You as their son-in-law.

Wang Jianxiong couldn't help but sigh. This kid was more scheming than he had imagined and had actually grown up to this point.

"what?"

Lu Jianqing was struck by lightning. The image of a girl appeared in his mind and his heart tightened instantly.

At that time, he followed his master to visit the Qi family. He was shocked by a girl he saw by chance. Afterwards, he found out that she had a very nice name... Qi Fengzi.

Although his master had already arranged for him to get engaged to Wang Yan, Lu Jianqing did not like the unruly Wang Yan. He preferred the girl from the Qi family, whom he had only met once and who did not even know of his existence.

"Master, can you tell me which one of the Qi family, um, your daughter is engaged to Zhou You?"

Wang Jianxiong looked at him a few more times, which made Lu Jianqing nervous, and then he said, "Qi Fengzhang mentioned a few things to me, namely Miss Qi Wu, Qi Qingyao, and Qi Fengzi."

what?
Lu Jianqing felt as if struck by lightning, and instantly felt completely hopeless.
