My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 275 - 170: The Grand Consecrator’s Appointment—Yan Hanzhou Rises!

Chapter 275: Chapter 170: The Grand Consecrator’s Appointment—Yan Hanzhou Rises!

Bai Jingfei simply didn’t know what to say, because the rumors of the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable single-handedly saving all the sects in the Eastern Wilderness had already spread like a legend.

Zhao Yiqiu and Yan Botao had obviously heard Bai Jingfei mention this on their way here.

They were very excited at heart as well.

Having someone as skilled as Li Changqing in the Evergreen Commerce Association was already remarkable, and with the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable backing them, what would they have to fear in the future?

Now, they were all speculating that the master who had slain Hai Songtao back then must have been the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable.

Li Changqing didn’t bother to explain their assumptions.

Some things don’t need explaining, it’s unnecessary.

"Come over and have some tea."

Li Changqing pushed up the teacups.

"Thank you, Mr. Changqing." The three immediately sat down.

"In my absence, how has the Evergreen Commerce Association progressed?" Li Changqing looked at Zhao Yiqiu, as he was managing this aspect.

"Mr. Changqing, as per your instructions, we’ve contacted many merchant guilds on the verge of bankruptcy and have acquired them at low prices, rebranding them under our Evergreen Commerce Association."

Zhao Yiqiu earnestly said, "We procure our other goods from local channels, as our Changting Town can’t supply so much merchandise. Dao Mark City alone has pushed us to our limits, and recently, we’ve intensified the production of our tea from Changting Town, already distributing it in batches to various regions."

"Overall, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner," Zhao Yiqiu said.

"Additionally," Yan Botao quickly interjected, "regarding the pre-prepared dishes, as you previously mentioned not focusing on these for now, we selected two reliable local chefs to help us make pre-prepared dishes. We might not handle large orders, but small batches are manageable." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"We aren’t selling pre-prepared dishes," Li Changqing told Yan Botao. "This time, we’re selling self-heating meals."

"Is it the item you previously instructed our commerce association to research, Mr. Changqing?" Zhao Yiqiu was stunned; the concept of those self-heating meals was astonishing to him. Just a small packet of lime could heat cold rice and dishes without fire.

In the wild, this item is practically a luxury.

"That’s an emergency food item, isn’t it? Will selling such a product through the commerce association find a market?" Zhao Yiqiu was somewhat hesitant.

"Rest assured, the demand will be quite strong in the short term," Li Changqing smiled. "However, our self-heating meals are to be sold in limited quantities, not too much, only making a few dozen portions per day for now, to lay a foundation for our pre-prepared dishes. After all, for our Evergreen Commerce Association to expand, time for gradual accumulation is needed."

"Understood." The three of them nodded.

What Li Changqing said, they believed must be right.

"Here is the list of the shopkeeper assignments for different regions. I’d like the Chief Shopkeeper to review it." Yan Botao handed over a list.

Li Changqing glanced at it; the personnel from the three families were evenly distributed.

"With the elders of the Yan family assigned so widely, only three elders will remain in Changting Town, won’t they?" Li Changqing raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, but what can we do about such an important matter without involving the elders of the Yan family?" Yan Botao replied with a wry smile.

"Mr. Changqing." Zhao Yiqiu cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yan mentioned earlier that your idea is to recruit talent. I think this is feasible. As our Evergreen Commerce Association grows larger, relying solely on ourselves isn’t viable."

"It’s currently a good opportunity to recruit talent. Unfortunately, even if we recruit them, we can’t immediately give them important positions. I think it’s better to assess them over time."

Zhao Yiqiu’s words were something Li Changqing greatly agreed with.

"This position in Zhanzhou State," Li Changqing pointed to the position of Associate Shopkeeper in Zhanzhou State and said, "I think that kid Yan Hanzhou is quite good; let’s let him go and try it out."

This made Yan Botao’s eyes widen.

Yan Hanzhou?

An exceptionally talented disciple within the Yan family, who would have thought Li Changqing would give him the opportunity to directly become an associate shopkeeper?

It seems he’s preparing to promote him; after two years of experience, he might become the Chief Shopkeeper.

Regarding Yan Hanzhou, Li Changqing had a good impression. When he first came to the Yan family, it was Yan Hanzhou who helped guide him to the Ten Thousand Books Tower.

"Understood."

Yan Botao quickly nodded.

"Ensure that things are executed properly. Our Evergreen Commerce Association’s beginning has become simplified; the local sects won’t trouble us. Go ahead with confidence. Also, I need to remind your family’s members of a few things." Li Changqing’s gaze swept over the three faces.

"If I find out anyone is relying on the Evergreen Commerce Association or the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable’s name to cause trouble outside, abusing power, or embezzling funds..."

"Not only will I deal with them, but the three of you will be held jointly responsible. One warning, and on the second offense, I believe your three families’ clan leaders can be replaced directly." Li Changqing said calmly.

As soon as he said this, the three people’s bodies shuddered.

They knew Li Changqing didn’t say these words just for show. If he wanted to replace their families’ clan leaders, it wouldn’t take more than a word.

Who among them would dare to oppose?

Who would risk their lives?

"Yes!"

The three of them quickly agreed.

This statement also reminded them to strictly manage their subordinates. If such things really happen, they will also take severe measures to set an example.
