Chapter 13005
Conversely, the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce was, at best, just one of Zhao Gongming's many partners. Its importance might not be that great, but it was definitely not among the most important ones.
Mo Beibei pressed on, saying, "Father, think about it again. When Elder Zhao told you about this, did he specifically mention that he had to give Lin Yi a discount?"
No, not at all.
Boss Mo shook his head slightly.
Such social interactions are always kept to a minimum, especially since Zhao Gongming holds a high position and is meticulous in his words and actions; how could he possibly make things so explicit?
"That's it!"
Mo Beibei shook his arm and said, "This is my family's assessment. If I don't get the highest score, people will gossip about me even if I take over the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce in the future."
"Dad, haven't you always been hoping that I would take over your job? This is the most important step for your daughter, so you must support me!"
Mr. Mo was utterly helpless. After a few seconds of silence, he sighed and said, "Fine, I'll fix it for you."
Mo Beibei was taken aback: "How can we fix this?"
Boss Mo glared at her irritably: "Come with me to see Lin Yi."
The main hall of the new Heavenly Palace.
Lin Yi looked at the Mo father and daughter in front of him, his expression somewhat strange: "Mr. Mo, what brings you here so late at night?"
Boss Mo quickly put on a smile and said, "Young Master Lin, I know about what happened. We were wrong in handling this matter. We've come here to apologize to you."
Lin Yi raised his eyelids slightly: "Just an apology?"
"No no no."
Boss Mo hurriedly added, "I brought twenty pieces of high-level divine equipment this time, all of which are from my own private collection. Every single one of them is a masterpiece."
"I need more time to raise the remaining forty items, so I hope Young Master Lin can grant me a few more days."
Lin Yi shook his head: "With the strength of your Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce, do you really not have enough to produce sixty pieces of high-level divine equipment?"
Mr. Mo looked embarrassed: "To be honest, this business involves my daughter's family assessment, which is of great importance to her. We can't use the Chamber of Commerce's official accounts right now, so please forgive us, Mr. Lin."
Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head: "You conduct your family assessment, and I have to bear the consequences. Do you think that's reasonable?"
"I'm going to the God of Wealth Academy the day after tomorrow to participate in the Immortal Divine Equipment Auction, but I don't have any chips to use."
Upon hearing this, Boss Mo and Mo Beibei exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Yi were truly an important figure in Zhao Gongming's life, how could he possibly lack such a small amount of leverage to participate in the auction?
Boss Mo's smile remained unchanged, but his tone became more sincere: "Young Master Lin, the God of Wealth Academy's Immortal Divine Equipment Auction will not be held only once. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, and if it doesn't work next time, there will be the time after that."
"If you are patient, you will always have a chance."
Lin Yi looked at him calmly: "Why should I be patient? You've created all this trouble, and in the end, you expect me to be patient? Is that right?"
That's not how you say it.
Boss Mo smiled gently: "Tianjun is located in a remote area. Under normal circumstances, no merchant guild would come here to purchase divine equipment on a large scale."
"Furthermore, the price we offered was already very good, as you, Young Master Lin, are well aware of."
"If we each take a step back, we can still cooperate in the long term."
Lin Yi looked at him meaningfully, without saying a word.
Boss Mo took a half step forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Young Master Lin, please don't act rashly. You can go and find out what kind of size our Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce is in the Divine Realm Open Zone."
"The threshold for suppliers to get in touch with our company is very high."
"Furthermore, we can guarantee you this good price; Mr. Lin, you've already made a profit."
"If it were any other chamber of commerce, you would only suffer more losses. I am not saying this to threaten you, but to state the absolute truth. Young Master Lin, please think it over carefully."
After saying that, he led Mo Beibei to sit down to the side.
Although her posture was not condescending in the slightest, the unwavering confidence in her bones was exactly the same as that of Mo Beibei before.
Lin Yi shook his head inwardly, thinking to himself, "They really are father and daughter."
Given how things have developed, it's highly likely that he won't be able to attend the upcoming auction at the God of Wealth Academy.
Even if we get those 1,100 pieces of intermediate-level divine equipment back now, it's too late to exchange them with other merchant guilds.
However, Lin Yi was never the type to suffer in silence.
The Tianjun region is now so important that even the various academies of the gods dare not take it lightly.
Do you really think you can cross the river like a dragon with just your Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce?
Just as Lin Yi was about to launch an attack, a Heavenly Dao Pillar descended from the sky.
Sensing the imposing aura emanating from it, everyone's eyelids twitched simultaneously.
The next second, a figure wearing the iconic robe of the God of Wealth Academy slowly walked out from it.
Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Boss Mo jumped up from his stool and hurriedly ran to greet them.
"Elder Zhao, why did you come in person? Just let us know if there's anything you need, and we'll come to pick you up."
Boss Mo bowed and clasped his hands, his face full of flattery.
As the head of the prestigious Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce, he is a prominent figure in the Divine Realm Open Zone, and normally he would be on equal footing with even the high-ranking elders of the Divine Academy.
But in front of Zhao Gongming, he could only obediently act like a grandson.
After all, we have to depend on others.
"Yes, Elder Zhao."
Mo Beibei stood behind Boss Mo with a sweet smile on her face: "The conditions here in Tianjun are simple, we will prepare the best accommodation for you right away."
Zhao Gongming glanced at the father and daughter, and thought they were quite diligent. He nodded slightly and said, "Just do what I asked you to do. I won't forget about your Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce if there are any good projects in the future."
Upon hearing this, the Mo father and daughter felt reassured and immediately expressed their gratitude.
Mo Beibei secretly transmitted her voice to her father: "Dad, did you hear that? Elder Zhao doesn't take Lin Yi seriously at all."
"Perhaps it was Lin Yi who indirectly asked for a favor, and Elder Zhao was just doing it reluctantly and giving him a perfunctory response."
Boss Mo nodded secretly.
If Lin Yi and Zhao Gongming were truly close, the previous events should have reached Elder Zhao's ears long ago. How could Elder Zhao still be so kind and gentle to him and his daughter?
However, he still had some doubts.
Why would someone of Zhao Gongming's stature suddenly visit Tianjun?
Mo Beibei said smugly, "Is that even a question? In a place like Tianjun, what could possibly be worth Elder Zhao showing his face in person? He must be here for our Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce."
Mr. Mo's heart skipped a beat: "If that's really the case, then that's wonderful!"
Even with his high position and great power, Zhao Gongming still needs to cultivate his own loyal followers. With the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce now thriving, it's understandable that Zhao Gongming would lower his stance and actively court them. (End of Chapter)
