Chapter 968: Chief Steward Su Hai
When this question was brought up, Chen Xiuxian revealed a worried look and said with a wry smile, "The biggest problem now is getting the documents from the Xiantong Mansion."
Xu Changshou smiled upon hearing this: "It's easy to get the documents from the Xiantong Mansion, but it costs money."
Li Shouchen also smiled bitterly and said, "Now we're talking about the issue of spending money. To be honest, I borrowed a lot to open this store, and I don't have any extra money to spend on it. I sent someone to the Xiantong Mansion to inquire, and the Xiantong Mansion's chief steward Su Hai replied that it would cost 200,000 high-grade spirit stones. Otherwise, there's no way I can get the documents."
"What! The Xiantong Mansion is so shady!"
Xu Changshou's eyes widened when he heard this, he was shocked. He never expected that the Xiantong Mansion was so shady that they would charge 200,000 for a single document.
You know, what does two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones mean? It is enough for a cultivator of the fusion stage to cultivate from the early stage of fusion to the middle stage of fusion.
Chen Xiuxian said indignantly, "It's not the Xiantong Mansion that's black, it's the Xiantong Mansion's general manager Su Hai who's black. Su Hai is the Xiantong Mansion's tax officer, specifically responsible for collecting taxes and store paperwork. If these 200,000 are handed over, it will definitely go into Su Hai's pocket."
"Who is Su Hai?"
Xu Changshou asked with a frown.
Xu Changshou had been to Xiantong Mansion a long time ago and knew a man named Lin, who was a cultivator at the Divine Transformation stage.
At that time, Xu Changshou thought that Manager Lin was the chief manager of Xiantong Mansion.
Now it seems that Manager Lin is just a small manager, and the real manager should be Su Hai.
Chen Xiuxian introduced, "This Su Hai is not a good person. He used to be a bandit in the area around Mudong Divine City, making a living by robbing some foreign cultivators. Later, he was recruited by the city lord Ye Gongshang. Because of his considerable strength, he became Ye Gongshang's right-hand man."
"After becoming the chief steward of the Xiantong Mansion, Su Hai's bandit personality has been somewhat restrained. However, it is difficult to change one's nature. Relying on the power in his hands, he often extorts merchants from Mudong Divine City. We merchants have suffered from Su Hai for a long time."
"Junior Brother Li used a lot of connections, but Su Hai refused to give him face. He couldn't get the money without 200,000 yuan, so Junior Brother Li came to me."
"Boss Chen, have you come out?" Xu Changshou asked with a smile.
Chen Xiuxian has a high prestige in Yonghe Street, and he is a cultivator in the late stage of fusion. Given his strength, Su Hai will give him some face.
Chen Xiuxian said, "I haven't been to Xiantong Mansion yet. I heard that Junior Brother Li wanted to rent a shop, so I brought him to see Brother Xu first."
Xu Changshou stood up and said, "Then let's go to Xiantong Mansion. I have some connections there. If we go together and talk to them, maybe we won't have to take the 200,000 yuan."
"No hurry, no hurry, sit down first!"
Chen Xiuxian gestured for Xu Changshou to sit down and said, "Su Hai doesn't care about meat or fish, so I'm not sure I can explain it to you. Brother Xu, let me make a deal with you. If you really can't explain it to me, I hope you can help me."
Xu Changshou nodded: "You go ahead!"
Chen Xiuxian said, "That two hundred thousand is beyond Junior Brother Li's budget, and he really can't afford it. I've come up with a compromise. I'll deduct the two hundred thousand from your rent first, and then, after the next hundred years, I'll give you one million and two hundred thousand."
Xu Changshou frowned slightly when he heard this: "You mean, for the first hundred years, you owe me two hundred thousand in rent first."
Chen Xiuxian assured, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Xu. I'll guarantee that you won't lose any money."
"That's it..."
Xu Changshou hesitated.
This Chen Xiuxian was quite calculating. If he collected 200,000 yuan less in rent during the first hundred years, Li Shouchen's shop would be able to open smoothly.
For Xu Changshou, there is no need to worry about owing 200,000 yuan. There is an agreement and Li Shouchen can't run away.
It's just a matter of waiting another hundred years.
But the problem is that Xu Changshou needs the money to buy the magic pen.
You know, the price of Yuzhu Lingbi is 3.35 million.
The rent for his shop is 1.5 million.
The Fire Scale Sword can be sold for 1.8 million.
Adding the 80,000 yuan he had, it was just enough money to buy the magic pen.
If I gave the money to Li Shouchen, I would not have enough money to buy the magic pen.
Seeing Xu Changshou's hesitation, Li Shouchen hurriedly cupped his hands and pleaded, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm really at my wit's end, so I came up with this idea. If you don't help me with the advance payment, I'm afraid my plan to open a shop will have to be delayed for a hundred or two hundred years."
"Well...Okay, Boss Chen, I'll give you a favor. Let's go to the Xiantong Mansion to negotiate first. If we can't reach an agreement, the money will be deducted from my rent."
Xu Changshou nodded helplessly.
Li Shouchen's words completely controlled him.
If Li Shouchen's shop was delayed for one or two hundred years, who would he rent it to? Since he couldn't rent the shop out, how would he get the money to buy the magic pen?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to advance the money to him. After all, the gap of 200,000 is not that big, and we can find a way to make up for it.
"Thank you, Brother Xu." Chen Xiuxian stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go to the Xiantong Mansion."
"go!"
Xu Changshou and Li Shouchen also stood up, and the three of them headed straight for Xiantong Mansion.
After leaving Xu Changshou's shop, Li Shouchen said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xu, Su Hai has a violent temper. If you encounter any offense, be patient and never argue with him."
"Ok, I know!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly.
Yonghe Street is very close to Xiantong Mansion, just across a few streets.
Coming to the majestic gate of Xiantong Mansion again, Xu Changshou was deeply moved.
When he first entered, he followed Li Ziyao in. At that time, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator and a menial servant. Even the infant soldiers would not look at him straight in the eye.
There are many infant soldiers guarding the Xiantong Mansion, and there are also several gods-transforming monks.
Upon seeing Xu Changshou and the other two arrive, a gatekeeper, a Divine Transformation cultivator, hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings, three seniors. May I ask who you are looking for?"
Chen Xiuxian stood with his hands behind his back and said casually, "Go inform Steward Su that Chen Xiuxian from Yonghe Street wants to see you."
"Senior, please wait a moment..."
The Divine Transformation cultivator entered the gate and returned shortly afterwards. He respectfully addressed Chen Xiuxian, "Senior Chen, Chief Steward Su wishes to invite you. Please follow me."
"Lead the way."
"Yes!"
Under the guidance of the incarnation cultivator, Xu Changshou and the other two entered the Xiantong Palace.
Xu Changshou, who entered the Xiantong Mansion again, has now reached the level of a fusion cultivator and is no longer as reserved as he was in the past.
The Xiantong Mansion is very large. Under the guidance of this incarnation cultivator, the group took many twists and turns and arrived at a mansion of considerable size.
The incarnation cultivator knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man with the cultivation level of the great perfection of incarnation came out.
The spirit-transforming cultivator who led the way bowed and left, and the middle-aged man who had reached the great perfection of spirit-transforming respectfully led the three people into the mansion.
Entering the flower hall, I saw a rough-looking man eating meat with big mouthfuls. The man had a full beard and his Taoist robe was not properly worn, revealing the hair underneath. He looked incredibly rough.
Xu Changshou frowned slightly. It was obvious that this man was a demon cultivator.
In the Sangyu Immortal Realm, humans and demons have already coexisted, and demon cultivators have been highly integrated into the human race. Even in the Canghai Sect, there are many demon cultivators.
Of course, the Canghai Sect has very high standards for selecting demon cultivators, and the total number of demon cultivators is less than 10%, and there are still more human cultivators.
Li Shouchen winked at Xu Changshou, meaning that this person was Su Hai, and he should be careful with his words.
