Just after noon, Bailang appeared outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Even with his current status, he still had to wait outside the door of the City Lord's Mansion. The concierge of the City Lord's Mansion had no intention of inviting him to the waiter to sit and wait. This is not even as good as some big businessmen.
Bailang didn't express any dissatisfaction and waited outside the door politely. He is very aware of his current identity, and it is best to be careful in everything. God knows if these concierges with their nostrils turned upward were instructed by the higher-ups in the city lord's palace to do this on purpose? The purpose was to see how obedient Bailang was to the golden signboard of the City Lord's Mansion.
After waiting for a long time, the concierge led Bai Lang in, but the first person he saw was Zhou Zhonghao.
"The city lord is discussing things with General Liu Jianyu right now, and I don't have time to see you. What do you have to report?" Zhou Zhonghao met Bai Lang in a side hall of the city lord's palace. His words were a little more hoarse than before, and his face looked more haggard. It can be seen that even though Zhou Zhonghao is also a Qi practitioner, the current situation in Yongchuan City is still exhausting him.
"Master Zhou, there is something I want to report to the city lord. But since the city lord has important matters and it is inconvenient to see me, it is the same thing to report to Mr. Zhou."
"Well, let's talk." Zhou Zhonghao motioned to Bai Lang to sit down first.
Zhou Zhonghao has indeed been very tired recently. During this time, he has been running back and forth between the Bangcheng Lord's Mansion and the newly arrived Liu Jianyu's headquarters. For some things that were difficult for Feng Mingyuan and Liu Jianyu to discuss face to face, he had to exchange opinions with Liu Jianyu's adjutant in private. What was the attitude of both parties, what was the bottom line, and bargaining etc. They had to come up with a rough framework first, and then it was their turn. Liu Jianyu and Feng Mingyuan met. This can prevent the situation from being stalemate due to too many contradictions at the beginning.
It was an unfortunate time for Bailang to arrive today. The city lord's palace and Liu Jianyu's headquarters had agreed on the basic framework. Today was the first time that the leaders of the two sides met. Everything must make way for this.
In fact, Zhou Zhonghao wouldn't have come out to see Bailang if it weren't for his special status and the fact that he was looking at the industrial park.
"Master Zhou, it's like this. The industrial park has been disturbed by several external forces for some time, especially the two most important industries of iron smelting and steelmaking in the industrial park. The Yamen has been deeply affected by this. Ignoring it made the businesses in the industrial park miserable, and in the end they had no choice but to ask for help from our knife shop.
But at the beginning, the sword shop was unable to do anything, and at the same time, it did not dare to act rashly because the current situation was unclear. But later, several businesses really had no way to turn to them, and they were about to fall apart. This was contrary to the previous order from the city lord that Dongcheng Knife Hall was optimistic about the industrial park. So the knife shop had no choice but to take the risk."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhonghao's perfunctory mood suddenly disappeared, and he changed his mind and listened seriously. Because he didn't expect Bailang to report the first confrontation with Liu Jianyu's secret power at this juncture!
Sure enough, Bailang later revealed everything he had done to the four foreign forces that invaded the industrial park. This is not just a simple idea, but an executing plan that already has a good start.
The plan is not complicated, but it is not simple either.
Zhou Zhonghao's eyes were filled with joy after hearing Bai Lang's report. He and Feng Mingyuan were still dissatisfied with Bailang's inaction on the erosion of the industrial park and were very angry. And they are already thinking about beating or blaming Bailang after Liu Jianyu's troops are settled here and a new bottom line is formed. Unexpectedly, Bai Lang was holding back his killer move!
"Okay! Bai Lang, this calculation of yours can be described as brave and strategic! No matter how things change later, at least the industrial park can be delayed longer after such a mess. If you really did it, Then the industrial park will definitely not fall into the hands of others!
This is a great achievement!
Okay, don't leave yet, just wait here. I'll go report to the city lord first. The city lord will definitely see you after he finishes his meeting with Liu Jianyu! Wait! "
"yes!"
Bai Lang waited for a full hour. Then Zhou Zhonghao personally led him directly to Feng Mingyuan's study.
"Okay, excuse me, tell me your layout in the industrial park again." Feng Mingyuan's mental state was not bad, but the haze between his brows was also visible to the naked eye. While waving his hand to stop Bai Lang from paying homage, he urged Bai Lang to get down to business.
So Bai Lang repeated what he had said to Zhou Zhonghao before. Apart from slight differences in wording, the content is the same.
"The second step of the plan will be carried out tonight. I thought that only by completely muddying the water with lightning speed can it be effective, without giving the other party a chance to breathe and figure out the context. Once the conflict completely arises, , then it will be easier for us to fish in troubled waters and continue to attack and kill.
Of course, the best way is to let these people cause chaos among themselves and restrain each other, so as to preserve the good situation that the industrial park has worked so hard to create. "
After hearing this, Feng Mingyuan smiled on his face. Even the stone that was weighing on my heart seemed to loosen a bit.
"Very good! Bai Lang, your plan is very good! It's right to put you in the Dongcheng Knife Hall to watch the industrial park!" Feng Mingyuan stood up from his chair, opened the window, and his mood suddenly became very good. Originally, he was going to have a hard time with Liu Jianyu about the industrial park today. He was even prepared to sacrifice half of his interests in exchange for the humiliation of the other party not to push too hard.
But as soon as Bailang's news arrived, Zhou Zhonghao hurriedly came in and reported to Feng Mingyuan, which immediately disrupted Feng Mingyuan's plan. The next hour was spent paddling. In the end, Liu Jianyu left with a dark face full of suspicion and did not implement any issues such as the division of the industrial park. It's equivalent to putting it on hold temporarily.
I have to say that Feng Mingyuan is indeed brave enough, and it also shows how rare and important what Bailang did this time is to Feng Mingyuan.
"But Bailang, you have to be careful. The people you are facing are not the people from the Yuzhong Sword Hall before. They are definitely not just the ones you see now. There is no shortage of Qi practitioners, especially Qi-entraining practitioners. For the manpower, it is not uncommon for the four of them to randomly send ten to Yongchuan City. So even if your plan seems to be going well now, it may not necessarily be the case in the future. After all, if you carefully consider this matter, it is not difficult to find the doubts. .
Therefore, you must make good use of the weapons I asked Zhou Zhonghao to hand over to you. If you still need it later, I will say hello to the Zhou and Hou families, and even Bingjia will give you some when the time comes. However, you must have confidence in how to use it. Don’t sink yourself too deep. It will be difficult to pull you out when the time comes.
See what I mean? "
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
"Okay, let's go down. If you have any progress on this matter in the industrial park, you must report it in time. You can't delay it even late at night. Don't slack off."
