The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"That's great." Zhuge Liang had seen through Xing's plan. Although it was not a very complicated plan, it was effective.

He often saw the abstract manipulation of stars, and now seeing this scene, he felt a little relieved.

He watched this child grow up!

"Uh... Military Advisor, can you explain it to me?" Liu Bei thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out.

What did Xing do?

"My Lord, recall this: Xing has been working hard lately. Hasn't he managed to turn the dock around and even pay the rent?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Bei nodded hurriedly. "I remember making a lot of money. Miss Mingxi was very happy and said that after paying the rent, she would upgrade the dock equipment to make more money."

"That's right." Zhuge Liang waved his fan.

"But the evidence Xing showed Scott just now to prove the improvement in the dock's performance wasn't that sufficient."

"If Xing's efforts have earned the dock a thousand taels, then the evidence Xing presented shows that they only earned a hundred taels at most."

"I think that evidence was probably a balance sheet from when the dock's performance had just improved, not a more recent one... Based on this premise, Scott concluded that while the dock was profitable, it wasn't much, at least not enough to pay off the debts. So, he made those remarks, shaking up many merchants."

"If Xing were to produce evidence that the terminal had already repaid its debts at this point, it would not only slap Scott in the face, but would also significantly stabilize the morale of merchants and the public—this is the art of suppressing before promoting."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei and his men were dumbfounded: "...Huh?"

Damn, it seems they are no match for a trash can rummage guy.

Guan Yu was scratching his beard so hard that he almost pulled it off, and cold sweat broke out in his heart - No, I have to make more time to read "Spring and Autumn Annals" in the evening!

You can't let others say that he is not as good as a baby who is only a few months old, right?

…………

"Wait, why does she look like that? Scott feels something is wrong, like she's been tricked."

"The next moment, Xing pulled out proof of repayment for the Golden Man Lane dock rent—since it had only been paid over an hour ago, even Scott hadn't had time to notice it yet."

"This evidence is the most direct result of the Golden Man Lane revitalization plan!"

"Xing's mouth twisted, like a crooked-mouthed dragon king: "The dock has been returned."

“Wha-what?! You guys are still going up?” Scott was stunned.”

"Something's wrong. With the balance sheet Xing just threw out, there's no way he can pay it back... Oh, he understands. He's fallen for it!"

"Shop owners around here were all exclaiming in amazement, they couldn't believe their eyes."

"A chamber of commerce that has been losing money for such a long time has actually managed to turn a profit? Is she really a genius?"

"Shop owners suddenly felt much more confident."

"Xing is a capable kid." Shen Wansan exclaimed in amazement.

Who would have thought that an abstract talent who spends all day rummaging through trash cans would be so talented in business?

"It's a pity that they are not my children..." Shen Wansan sighed when he thought of his unsuccessful children.

After a hundred years, I am afraid I won’t be able to keep this huge family business.

(Zhu Yuanzhang: Don't worry, as long as you don't have a family business, your descendants won't have to take care of it! I'm here to help you!)

…………

"After reviewing the materials submitted by Jiangxing, Yukui nodded."

"The materials provided by the Chamber of Commerce are authentic and reliable. According to the lease agreement between the two parties, the Chamber of Commerce still holds the operating rights to the terminal."

"Furthermore, the Chamber of Commerce has raised the issue of Scott acting on behalf of a group that is secretly sabotaging the dock's operations. Does Mr. Scott have any explanation for this?"

Scott wasn't at all worried about this.

"Stop your spitfires! Why would I want Xiaodong to leave? Your wrecked wharf has no commercial partners and frequent accidents. What does this have to do with me?"

"Besides, I'm not involved in shipping goods from the docks. Could it be that I bribed the dock workers? That's hilarious!"

"He gave the dockworker a large sum of money and simply asked him not to give him up under any circumstances."

"Besides, Xianzhou doesn't advocate any major memory recovery techniques, so there's no chance of a situation like 'Three sticks shatter the company's soul, sir, I'm from Xianzhou.' As long as I keep my mouth shut, no one will know that I've bribed the dock workers."

"Nothing will go wrong!"

"Scott gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart."

"Then he watched Xing produce Ah Feng's confession: 'Unfortunately, he told everything.'"

"This testimony is irrefutable proof that it was you who ordered him to destroy the customer's merchandise." Su Chang snorted twice.

"W-what?!" Scott was horrified. "That old fogey... doesn't the Xianzhou people always preach loyalty? I gave him so much money, and he sold me out in the blink of an eye! Damn it..."

"What does this have to do with loyalty?" Shan Xiongxin chuckled. "For someone like you, do we even need to talk about the code of conduct? That's called abandoning evil and joining the good. It has nothing to do with loyalty."

The brothers around him also nodded, and Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others all agreed.

"That's right, we brothers in Wagang are loyal to each other!"

"Yes, hahahaha, good brothers, forever!"

…………

Seeing the evidence, Xi Kui's face turned colder. "Mr. Scott, this is an unfair business practice. Tianbosi will continue to investigate."

"You're using such despicable tactics against the Xianzhou Chamber of Commerce on Xianzhou's territory. Do you really think Xianzhou is some kind of indigenous planet that your company can manipulate?"

“How could this happen? What went wrong…” Scott sweatdropped.

"If Xianzhou really finds evidence of his despicable actions, the company will definitely pay a price to protect him! His rank will definitely be demoted!"

"Don't forget our previous bet. You have to apologize to us in front of everyone!" Su Chang crossed her arms, looking like a winner.

“I don’t! Why should I apologize to you?” Scott was still struggling.

"Just because you trampled on the efforts of others, just because you used dirty tricks!" Su Chang raged. "If my apology could relieve the disheartened hearts of those who love Jinren Lane, I would apologize a hundred times, a thousand times! But now, you are the one who should apologize!"

"… Ugh!" Scott was already cornered: "I, I'm sorry about Golden Lane…"

"Huh? Louder! I can't hear you." Xing put her hand to her ear, having learned the true teachings of the Murong family—give and take!
