Chapter 2438 - 2235: Five Times a Day


Chapter 2438: Chapter 2235: Five Times a Day

Zhou Yuanzhi immediately showed a troubled expression.

Originally, with Zhou Yuanzhi’s connections, it was not a problem to forcibly insert Song Xiaodong, but now if Boss Niu became serious, Zhou Yuanzhi’s influence would not hold up.

"Boss Niu, this Mr. Song is here for the first time. I wanted to introduce him to everyone. Please give some face, Boss Niu." Zhou Yuanzhi pleaded to Boss Niu with a lack of confidence, since he was the one who invited Song Xiaodong. If they couldn’t get in, it would be a big embarrassment, ending up as an outsider everywhere.

Boss Niu certainly didn’t give face to Zhou Yuanzhi, his expression turned serious, he said to Zhou Yuanzhi: "Director Zhou, I need to say this to you, all those attending Master Futian’s ceremony are prominent figures from various fields, high-level people, and you bring a local who doesn’t understand the rules, disturbing the tranquility of the master is one thing, but if he provokes other prominent figures, can you bear the consequences?"

Zhou Yuanzhi’s face turned pale with fear, sweat beads covered his forehead, and sweat was coming out of his palms and soles.

Saying that kind of thing might not matter coming from others, but Boss Niu is already the most influential person at this ceremony. Master Futian isn’t really anything, Master Futian is known for his complex connections, and this is exactly what people like Niu Yun talk about.

"Boss Niu, please don’t do this, Mr. Song is a local after all, give some face." Zhou Yuanzhi pleaded bowing his body towards Boss Niu.

"Local? We all work in the internet business, no physical presence, what’s there to fear about locals? What’s wrong with locals?" Boss Niu got even more furious when Zhou Yuanzhi mentioned "local".

"Mr. Song, this is your fault. We’re having a conversation and what are you saying? Talking about pigs and cows. Say some nice things to Boss Niu, plead with Boss Niu to let us in to see the world." Zhou Yuanzhi turned his head and looked at Song Xiaodong with a pleading expression.

Boss Niu was waiting for Zhou Yuanzhi to say this. After hearing Zhou Yuanzhi speak, he immediately turned his head to look at Song Xiaodong, raising his head and looking at him through his nostrils, waiting for Song Xiaodong to plead with him.

But Song Xiaodong didn’t pay attention to Boss Niu and instead asked Zhou Yuanzhi: "Who organized Master Futian’s ceremony?"

"Master Futian!" Zhou Yuanzhi answered cluelessly.

"Oh..."

Song Xiaodong nodded and turned his head to say to Boss Niu, "Since Master Futian organized the ceremony, who gets invited isn’t up to you, Boss Niu, right?"

Zhou Yuanzhi listened to Song Xiaodong’s words and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Obviously, when Zhou Yuanzhi spoke to Song Xiaodong in the car earlier, Song Xiaodong didn’t listen, or didn’t understand.

Master Futian is just a decoration, he became a master because Boss Niu often comes here, treating Yunzhong Temple like his own private club, attracting all those who want to curry favor with Boss Niu or talk business with him. Therefore, Master Futian became a widely esteemed master.

But now Song Xiaodong says he wants to see if Master Futian will let him enter?

Without Niu Yun, there wouldn’t even be Master Futian.

Niu Yun listened to Song Xiaodong’s naive words, his mouth tightly clenched holding back laughter, and said to Song Xiaodong: "Alright then, let’s go see Master Futian and see if he’ll allow you to disrupt the ceremony!"

Boss Niu said and then left, followed by his assistant and driver going up the mountain.

Zhou Yuanzhi and Song Xiaodong remained behind.

"Mr. Song, why are you getting confused now? Didn’t I tell you, Master Futian is just a pretense for Boss Niu coming to Yunzhong Temple. Without Boss Niu, there wouldn’t be this Master Futian. You still don’t believe it, insist on seeing Master Futian, what’s the point? Yunzhong Temple was built with donations from Boss Niu, can’t you see how Master Futian could not listen to Boss Niu?" Zhou Yuanzhi said with difficulty to Song Xiaodong.

"Director Zhou, since it’s a ceremony, it should welcome all devotees. Not letting people in, citing scriptures behind closed doors, what’s the point of a ceremony?" Song Xiaodong replied indifferently to Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Mr. Song, how do you still not understand? Do you know why Master Futian is organizing the ceremony?" Zhou Yuanzhi asked Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong shook his head.

"There you go, you don’t know. This ceremony is just a cover, Boss Niu is really here to meet high officials from Ningjian Province. Boss Niu plans not simply to focus on online business anymore, considering learning from Jingxi Mall’s Wang Siqi to create an online-to-offline model, developing local store network transactions, locals buying local products, using local logistics, aiming for same-day purchase and delivery. With such a big plan, without some preemptive efforts how could it succeed? So, this ceremony was organized." Zhou Yuanzhi explained to Song Xiaodong.

Chapter 2239: Behind Closed Doors

"Even if it’s about doing business and getting paperwork, why not just go straight to the procedures instead of coming to this secluded temple in the deep mountain to talk business, neither cultivation nor business, doing things like in the dark." Song Xiaodong looked at Boss Niu’s figure with disdain.

"Mr. Song, please don’t say that. Think about it, Boss Niu’s company is so big, as they say, the bigger the tree the more the wind blows, everyone wants to get something from Boss Niu, without a special place to smooth things out, how would it last long? He’s also at a loss." Zhou Yuanzhi reached out and patted Song Xiaodong’s shoulder.

"A place hidden with corruption, looking like a peaceful place, but inside, who knows how much goes on behind closed doors." Song Xiaodong coldly snorted.
