Opening an office in Taila
Chapter 83 Muddy Waters
"Hey! You can't do this! Emperor, we already agreed!" Song Yufeng had just entered the bar owned by Penguin Logistics when he heard someone impatiently yelling at the Emperor. Croissant, who was in charge of greeting him, said with a slight embarrassment, "Sorry, Mr. Song, this is an accident."
"Oh, it's okay. I'll wait outside for a while. I understand. After all, there are always a few customers who are not so rational and calm. I understand this very well. But I'm also very curious. Who dares to talk to the emperor like this? Is he trying to save his life?" Song Yufeng asked.
"Well, it's not convenient for us to disclose each other's information. It's confidential."
Song Yufeng directly took out a small bag containing 3000 Longmen coins and handed it to Croissant.
"Just a little tip, consider it as me buying your stuff."
"Okay, okay, you should know who's coming. It's Shi Huaiya's father!"
"Oh, that's not surprising. With his financial resources, it's normal for him to speak to the emperor like that. But what is he asking Penguin Logistics for?"
"Oh, Mr. Song, I really can't tell you this, not even how much it costs."
Song Yufeng nodded and naturally stopped asking questions. After all, both Shi Huaiya and his father had had unpleasant experiences with Song Yufeng before, so there was no need for Song Yufeng to be so concerned.
After a while, Shi Huaiya's father came out. He glanced at Song Yufeng, snorted coldly, and walked out.
"Who the hell are you? You're humming a little bit. Who are you looking down on?" Song Yufeng stood up and cursed. The guy paused for a moment, but still left quickly.
"Okay, Mr. Song, the emperor is waiting for you inside." Croissant quickly welcomed Song Yufeng into the office.
Seeing Song Yufeng come in, a big penguin wearing sunglasses and a gold necklace happily jumped down from the chair, enthusiastically grabbed Song Yufeng's hand and said: "Brother Song, I've been waiting for you to come. You don't know, I was so happy when you said you wanted to come to my place."
That’s right, this guy is the big boss of Penguin Logistics, the emperor.
Song Yufeng also smiled and said, "Yes, yes. We had a good personal relationship before, but unfortunately there was some misunderstanding between Penguin Logistics and the firm, so we never had the chance to talk. Now, it would be great if we could resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties."
The two parties sat down, and the emperor said, "Ah, it's been resolved. We have more to discuss today than just this."
"Of course. Actually, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Jie Ran's firm has just as many spies in Longmen as we do. So the matter you want to ask us to do must be related to another place."
"Yes, I would like to ask you to help investigate the underworld forces in Hua County and Chernobog."
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing to do, just asking."
Song Yufeng and the emperor stared at each other for several seconds, the emperor's gaze gradually softening from sharp to gentle. After all, what if this was the imperial court's intention? Everyone now knew that Song Yufeng was half a member of the imperial court. Although he didn't have any foundation or background, his official position itself was already a symbol. It was very likely that the imperial court had asked Song Yufeng to investigate the intelligence of these two places.
The emperor stopped asking questions and said, "It's not difficult. We can just ask Texas and the Angels to investigate. You can go back and wait for notification on the details. As for the cost...ha, consider it a gift from me to show our sincerity in reconciling our two families."
"How can this be?!" Song Yufeng immediately refused. It was obvious that he wanted Song Yufeng to owe him a favor, and he was probably after the power of Song Yufeng's official position.
"Song Yufeng, this is just a token of my sincerity. I don't have any other intentions."
Of course Song Yufeng didn't believe it, but the next investigation of Song Yufeng still needed to be completed by Penguin Logistics, so Song Yufeng couldn't say anything for the time being and agreed reluctantly.
After returning to the office from Penguin Logistics, Song Yufeng rushed to Longmen Port almost non-stop. There was really no other way because the one hundred soldiers were about to arrive.
The sea cat was already waiting for him there, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.
Song Yufeng knew something was wrong when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hai... Master Zhong, what's wrong? You look so worried."
"There's some bad news. According to my information in the capital, these one hundred soldiers have been replaced with completely ordinary soldiers, and most of them are rookies."
Logically speaking, this is a good thing, as it means that no one will come to monitor him, but Song Yufeng noticed that Haimao's words were changed, which is not good.
Song Yufeng asked: "Who?"
"General, the Grand Tutor did originally arrange for a group of spies to come, but they were stopped by the Grand Marshal, who then personally arranged for these one hundred new recruits with no foundation to come."
"Then now, am I not inexplicably involved in their political struggle?" Song Yufeng said with a headache. The current officialdom is indeed not something he can interfere with, but now the Taiwei wants to drag him into the water and force him to stand on the Taiwei's side. Originally, in the Taifu's perspective, Song Yufeng was still a person with no foundation, but now a Taiwei, who didn't know Song Yufeng at all, helped Song Yufeng. What would the Taifu think? In addition, the relationship between the Taiwei and the Taifu was not good.
But on the other hand, this also means that he has an opportunity. As long as Song Yufeng seizes this opportunity and jumps on the ship of the Taiwei, then he will at least have his own faction and backing in the court.
"This is trouble. I am not ready to jump into this muddy water. Even if I seize the opportunity to jump on the Taiwei's ship, I will not be able to gain a firm foothold and may fall into the undercurrent." Song Yufeng sighed.
Haimao looked at Song Yufeng in surprise and said, "As expected, you came from another world. You have some skills and a keen political sense."
"Master Zhong, you are too kind, but the problem now is no longer something that can be solved by having a keen political sense." Song Yufeng frowned.
"Then delay it. Accept this guy first out of goodwill. As for other matters, I will help you handle them in the capital." Haimao frowned.
"Thank you, Master Zhong..."
