Chapter 33: Enrollment in Huoshan Town and the Second Batch of Students at Cangyu College (2)
Yun Bai was invited by the caravan to ride in a carriage because of her frail figure, while the others rode outside the carriage. Yun Bai wanted to decline, but her teacher and senior brothers could not bear to see the miserable scenes along the way, so they insisted on letting her get on the carriage. She was touched and agreed.
Along the way, everyone chatted as they walked, and the journey went smoothly. Through casual chats, Yun Bai had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the countries along the way of this caravan. In a word, it was chaotic and miserable. Soldiers, bandits, diseases...all kinds of chaos, all kinds of demons. The most unlucky ones were the common people who had no cultivation and no foundation, and even some low-level casual cultivators were not spared. The lucky ones escaped, the unlucky ones...
"This batch of goods is used to save lives, otherwise we would not take such a big risk to make this trip. However, it will be fine when we get to Huoshan Town, which is still very safe." said the caravan manager Lu. Huoshan Town is the largest town in the border area of hundreds of thousands of miles in the Northern Liao Kingdom, including its neighboring countries. It is named after Huoyun Mountain, which has stood for hundreds of millions of years. Two hundred years ago, the ancestor of Huoyun Sect came here and established Huoyun Sect with this mountain as its base. The strength of Huoyun Sect is extraordinary. The two daughters of the sect leader married the general Fuyuan of Northern Liao and the royal family of Southern Liao respectively. The ancestor himself has a terrifying strength of 8th grade, 8th star, 3rd level. In the past two hundred years, Huoyun Sect has continued to grow and develop, and has already taken shape as a large sect. With such a strong Huoyun Sect in charge, Huoshan Town has become more and more prosperous. In addition, it is located in a remote area, so it has been able to remain stable in the war until now. It is a paradise that has survived in the cruel world of war.
Their Zhengyang Company is a medium-sized grocery store that has business dealings in Beiliao and several neighboring countries. The Huoshan Escort Agency that escorted this time is one of the top three escort agencies in Huoshan Town. For the safety of this batch of goods, they specially hired the Huoshan Escort Agency and a deputy escort leader with a strength of 7th grade, 6th star, and 9th level to escort the goods. But even so, the bandits are too rampant. Many mountain bandits have become powerful and very strong. Just like the previous group of mountain bandits who robbed the escort, they suffered a great loss. If it weren't for Yuanye and his men who happened to arrive and lend a hand, the consequences would be disastrous.
After learning that Yuanye's teachers and students belonged to the famous Tianlan College, Manager Lu and Deputy Escort Leader Xue immediately showed respect. Especially when they knew that the four people came to Huoshan Town to recruit students, they warmly invited the four people to their business/escort agency as guests. They covered all the food and accommodation during the recruitment period, and also promised that after arriving in Huoshan Town, they would take care of all the arrangements, ensuring that there would be a long queue of students coming to take the exam.
Yuanye was naturally happy when he heard this. It would definitely be more efficient and effective to have local people help him than a few people who were unfamiliar with the place. He pretended to be polite and declined a few times. Seeing that the other party insisted strongly, he reluctantly agreed and deliberately ignored Xiaohua's strong intention. Finally, he decided to settle down at Zhengyang Commercial Bank - on the one hand, he wanted to try to prevent Xiaohua from finding someone to "practice", and on the other hand, he also wanted to try to understand the market conditions of various commodities in order to carry out the next open source plan of the college.
Deputy Escort Leader Xue was quite disappointed that he could not invite Yuanye and his companions, but he also enthusiastically took on the work of publicity, and said that he had a nephew with good qualifications, with a cultivation level of 7th grade, 2nd star, 5th level, and he was 19 years old this year, and hoped that Dean Yuan would consider it. Yuanye readily agreed and expressed his sincere gratitude.
The closer they got to Huoshan Town, the more refugees there were. However, the town had limited capacity, so most refugees could only sleep outdoors outside Huoshan Town, hoping to be taken in if they were lucky. Fortunately, the town chief, Lord Zhao, was kind and caring for the people. He distributed porridge and food outside the city almost every day. Although this did not solve the fundamental problem, it saved many lives for the time being.
After entering the city gate with the badge, a huge and prosperous town appeared in front of Yun Bai and his friends. It was just noon, and Manager Lu warmly invited the original dean and his party, as well as Deputy Escort Leader Xue and his brothers to have a simple meal together. Everyone did not refuse and went happily. The meal was a happy one. Apart from Xiaohua's amazing appetite, there was not much that stood out about the teachers and students of Cangyu. The enrollment date was set for the next morning, and the location was in the square next to the Zhengyang Chamber of Commerce.
"President Yuan and several of his disciples can rest in the bank first, or go out to the town. After I report to the bank president, I will go to the town government office to apply for a student enrollment permit, so you can act properly." Manager Lu said, and the arrangement was quite appropriate and thoughtful. Yuan Ye thanked him profusely. Deputy Escort Leader Xue took the enrollment brochure that Yuan Ye had prepared long ago and promised again that with the connections of their escort agency, they would have an afternoon to promote it, and they would be sure that the students would be full tomorrow.
After the meal, Yuan Ye asked Yun Bai and the other two to stay in the room to rest, while he and Manager Lu went to visit President Lu of Zhengyang Commercial Bank. After learning that it was Dean Tianlan who helped the commercial bank solve the crisis, President Lu thanked him repeatedly and asked Manager Lu to help Dean Yuan to organize this enrollment activity. With the president's words, Manager Lu worked more enthusiastically.
Then they went to the town's chief government office to apply for admissions permits. Afterwards, at the insistence of Manager Lu, they returned to their room to meditate and rest. As for matters related to the arrangement of the admissions venue, Manager Lu made all arrangements.
Yun Bai and the other two were all young people, so when they came to a busy and unfamiliar place, they would definitely go out for some fun. But she and Zhao Hongshan were only thinking about seizing the time to practice and improve their strength. Even though Xiao Hua had become more diligent and quieter under their influence, the three of them stayed in the room to meditate and practice throughout the afternoon, and did not go out to play.
However, Yuanye was busy all afternoon. As the recruitment advertisement was sent out, more and more people in the town knew that the famous Tianlan Academy actually came to them to recruit students, and they were all very excited. Many high-ranking organizations who considered themselves to be more powerful came to Zhengyang Commercial Bank to visit the former dean, including Wang Bo, the deputy leader of Huoyun Sect. When they met, they apologized first, saying that the leader was delayed by important matters and could not come to visit in person, and that they would definitely ask the former dean to visit Huoyun Sect another day to show their hospitality.
It must be said that Yun Bai had thought that Tianlan had a great influence before. This was also the first time that Tianlan was open to the public for enrollment. There would definitely be a lot of people taking the exam. However, when the enrollment meeting officially started, she was shocked by the huge crowd in front of her. Since then, she once again realized that Tianlan was so famous. In her spare time, she couldn't help but sigh that President Zhao and Manager Lu had a business mind. Although the starting point was to thank them for their rescue, they took advantage of this enrollment event to rapidly increase their popularity and influence, and took the opportunity to get to know many high-level people from various forces. This is undoubtedly a huge intangible asset, which will greatly promote the future development of the business.
Unfortunately, the only thing Cang Yu could borrow from Tian Lan was this title. As for the rest... well, as long as those old-timers on the school committee didn't secretly obstruct them, they would be very lucky. Yun Bai thought so, and at the same time, he rushed to the front and worked with the teacher and his fellow students to divide the work and get busy.
