The second day.
With the efforts of Yin Zhong and Chu Pingqing, the Chamber of Commerce efficiently sent people to inform Jiang Yan of his new job arrangements:
Deacon stationed in Danfang, Yinliu Street.
According to private inquiries, Jiang Yan learned that this position did meet his requirements. Although it could not really mean that he would do less work, he could make more money.
Because, the specific responsibilities of Danfang Deacon are:
Control the money source of Danfang.
Moreover, because of Jiang Yunfeng's relationship, those who were related to Yinliu Danfang were "preventatively" transferred away. In a short period of time, only Jiang Yan, a Jindan realm warrior, would be in charge.
In other words, as long as the Chamber of Commerce's own tasks are completed in time, Jiang Yan has the final say here.
After all, this man holds both the carrot (money) and the stick (force).
…
…
Yinliu Street.
After walking through most of the street according to the address he obtained before, Jiang Yan finally found the specific location of Danfang, a courtyard surrounded by high gray walls that made it impossible to observe the inside from the outside.
When he came to the door, he did not choose to enter immediately, but stopped for a moment and cast his eyes on the signs erected on both sides of the door.
The sign is made of wood and is rectangular in shape. There are three pieces in total, and they read in sequence:
"White Crane Chamber of Commerce Yinliu Danfang."
"Yinliu Free Clinic."
"Yinliu Solidarity and Mutual Aid Association."
What does the third one mean? What does it mean? Why does this painting style feel a little wrong... Jiang Yan looked at the "Solidarity and Mutual Aid Association" sign painted with white paint as the base and black ink, and suddenly felt a little confused.
Alchemy shop and clinic are easy to understand, what is mutual aid?
"interesting……"
He laughed and shook his head, climbed up the stairs, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it on the dark, unusually heavy door with a slight force.
Squeak!
With a not too harsh friction sound, the door slowly turned, gradually opening a gap that could allow one person to enter.
The dazzling golden light came out, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and started to fight instinctively.
During this process, he looked around and could barely see clearly the inside of the wall and the general composition of Yinliu Danfang:
At the front is a garden-style square, followed by a three-story building similar to a conference hall.
"The second and third floors may be residences." Jiang Yan knew his place of residence by intuition.
Behind the "meeting hall" are rows of white-painted rooms. These rooms are oddly styled. They have no windows, only a narrow door and a thick red brick chimney-like thing.
After maintaining this action for a few breaths, no one came to ask or chase him away. Jiang Yan did not hesitate and walked into the alchemy workshop.
"This vigilance is worrying."
He raised his palms and covered his face unnaturally, feeling some pressure immediately.
After passing through the garden, Jiang Yan came to the front of the "Meeting Hall", raised his head, and saw its name clearly:
"Honghua Building."
Realizing that the place was deserted, Jiang Yan had no intention of knocking on the door. With a snap, he waved his right hand and blew the invisible airflow, and suddenly pushed the hall door open.
The interior of the hall, which consisted of two rows of brown and red coffee tables, matching soft-sided chairs, and exquisite and elegant decoration, caught his eye.
In addition, a young woman wearing a light yellow maid skirt also noticed the movement and was looking at him with a slightly wary look.
"Someone..." Jiang Yan opened his mouth but didn't speak for a while.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency." The young woman slowly walked to the door with a smile on her face:
"What's the matter with you coming to Yinliu Danfang?"
The maid looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she is wearing a "standard" long skirt that has no distinctive features and does not highlight her advantages, at this age, she looks beautiful no matter how she looks, and people can't help but get close to her.
Even in such a cautious and guarded manner.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile on his face and introduced himself:
"I am Jiang Yan, the newly appointed deacon of Danfang of the Chamber of Commerce."
After seeing the maid's expression change from confused and shocked to flattering, he turned to give instructions:
"Please find the manager of Danfang."
"Steward...Okay...Deacon Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll go look for it." The young woman hurriedly saluted and ran out of the room before Jiang Yan could respond.
Look like this... I'm new here... Jiang Yan shook his head, sighed silently, walked to the chair, sat down directly, and poured a cup of tea.
…
…
About a quarter of an hour later.
Several chaotic footsteps sounded, quickly approaching the meeting hall, and then, four people entered the hall one after another.
Jiang Yan cast his gaze and saw these people clearly:
The leader was a woman. She looked to be in her thirties, with thick lips, slightly sunken eye sockets, and very three-dimensional facial features.
According to the information given by the Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Yan knew that the woman's name was Wei Ning, that she was his direct subordinate and assisted in managing the source of money.
The second person is a man with black hair and brown eyes, neither tall nor short, with no distinctive appearance.
He wore thick black leather armor, his entire right arm was wrapped in a ball of silver chains, and his face was full of seriousness.
Li Tong is responsible for the safety of Danfang.
The third person is a burly man with a height of two meters. He has a rough face, short black hair that stands on end, and wears a black leather glove on his left palm.
This "strong man" named Wang Qi, who is more like a warrior and should intuitively control the escort team, is the chief alchemist of this alchemy workshop.
As for the last one, it is the "novice" maid.
"Wei Ning, Li Tong, Wang Qi... have met Deacon Jiang."
The three Danfang stewards did not have any communication and directly started the process of visiting the dock.
"Please sit down." Jiang Yan nodded slightly and waved his hand gently.
After everyone was seated, he did not say any greetings and said with a smile:
"Although this is our first meeting, the Chamber of Commerce must have given each other all our information. Even if we haven't given it to each other, we have all inquired about each other, so we already know each other."
After a pause, seeing that everyone was listening, Jiang Yan continued:
"As for the interests of Danfang, I don't want much. My only request is:
"Most of the required medicinal materials can be purchased through the Fire Deer Chamber of Commerce."
He didn't hide anything and confessed directly:
"The Fire Deer Chamber of Commerce belongs to me and my partners. You know the purpose."
The three people heard this and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The new deacon's request was not too excessive, but it was just a little more than the previous ones.
It makes sense considering that there is only one Jindan warrior suppressing the Danfang.
Jiang Yan didn't want to put too much energy into Danfang, and relied on these people to take charge of their own affairs. Naturally, he would not embarrass them too much and take advantage of these people's interests.
After a brief acquaintance, the three of them presented gifts, exchanged a few words, and left.
…
…
Wang Qi returned to his residence with a relaxed expression.
"Uncle Yun, I'm back."
In the inner room, Jiang Yunfeng, who had been able to sit up, looked back and said in an affirmative tone:
"It seems that the new deacon didn't make things difficult for you."
Wang Qi heard this and said "Hmm": "He is a sensible person and knows that there are vegetables to eat together."
At this point, he frowned:
"It's just that I haven't found out the real reason why this person won the position of deacon...well...there are a few rumors, but none of them have been confirmed."
He sneered:
"Uncle Yun, you probably wouldn't have thought that someone in the meeting actually said that this Jiang Yan relied on a certain amount of luck and strength to sneak attack a Talisman Realm warrior and seriously injure him, thus achieving this position."
