Chapter 41

The day after signing a long-term contract with Jinlong Baoxing, Li Luo initiated a high-level meeting at Xiyang House under the name of the Young Lord.

In the conference room, Vice President Zhuang Yi arrived late, complaining mildly, "The third-grade refining room I oversee has been intensifying the production of third-grade Spirit Water Qiguang recently. Time is really tight, after all, the gap left by the first-grade refining room has to be filled by us."

He sat down and smiled at Li Luo, "Please understand, Young Lord."

"Truly hard work."

Facing his insincere smile, Li Luo remained polite, and the smile on his handsome face never faded. After today, the internal issues of Xiyang House would be thoroughly resolved, and it would continuously generate profits for him to purchase more high-grade Spirit Water Qiguang. How could he not be happy?

Zhuang Yi, seeing the smile on Li Luo's face, felt slightly uneasy but quickly dismissed it. After all, although Li Luo was the Young Lord, he did not manage affairs, and he was Pei Hao's man. Li Luo had no legitimate reason to do anything to him.

Elder Zheng Ping was also present, and he did not know the purpose of Li Luo's high-level meeting. Seeing everyone gathered, he asked, "Young Lord, what do you need us to do?"

Li Luo smiled, "It's nothing else. Didn't I mention to the elders before that the position of President at Xiyang House is vacant?"

Zheng Ping was taken aback and then frowned, "Hasn't this matter already been decided? The performance of the refining room managers is the criterion, and currently, Vice President Yan seems to be at a significant disadvantage."

"Does the Young Lord not want to use this method? But this is the rule of Xiyang House. Even the Young Lord cannot change it without reason, or it would not be fair to everyone." Zhuang Yi interjected.

The other high-level officials, though silent, clearly agreed with Zhuang Yi.

Li Luo, facing the puzzled gazes, waved his hand, "This rule is good, there's no need to change it."

"However, I think the result should already be clear."

The confusion in everyone's eyes deepened, even Zhuang Yi was stunned, then he laughed, "Is the Young Lord going to announce my victory?"

"Or did Vice President Yan admit defeat?"

Hearing this, some of the high-level officials were enlightened. Indeed, according to the rules, the third-grade refining room managed by Zhuang Yi had far outperformed the first and second-grade refining rooms. Given this significant gap, it was reasonable for Yan Lingqing to choose to give up.

"Admit defeat? Dream on!" Yan Lingqing's eyebrows furrowed, and she sneered.

Cai Wei also smiled and took out a contract, handing it to Elder Zheng Ping, "We have signed a long-term order for Qingbi Spirit Water with Jinlong Baoxing."

Elder Zheng Ping took the contract, glanced through it, and his face changed dramatically, "Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power?"

"You, are you joking?!"

"How can Xiyang House provide Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power?!"

Elder Zheng Ping's face turned ashen, and he slammed his hand on the table, staring at Li Luo, "Young Lord, how could you sign such a contract? This is a joke with Xiyang House's reputation!"

The others were already stunned, looking at Li Luo, Cai Wei, and Yan Lingqing in shock, clearly not expecting them to come up with such a contract. Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power? What a joke, the first-grade refining masters of Xiyang House can't even produce it!

Zhuang Yi was also stunned, then he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He didn't expect that without doing anything, Li Luo and his group would make such a big mistake.

Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power is impossible!

"Ah."

Zhuang Yi sighed heavily, then sternly said to Cai Wei, "If the Young Lord doesn't understand, does the Chief Steward not understand either?"

He turned to Zheng Ping and others, agitated, "Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power, are they planning to let the third-grade refining room do it? This is to destroy Xiyang House!"

"I will never agree!"

"Zheng Ping Elder, you see, Xiyang House must quickly confirm a new President, or it will lose all its market in Tianshu County!"

Li Luo quietly watched the indignant Zhuang Yi, not stopping him, but let him vent. Then he looked at the ashen-faced Elder Zheng Ping, "This contract will not involve any third-grade refining masters of Xiyang House, but will be entirely completed by the first-grade refining room."

Elder Zheng Ping frowned, "Young Lord, our first-grade refining room does not have this capability."

"That was before."

Li Luo smiled faintly, then he picked up a box from under his feet, opened it, and inside were ten enhanced Qingbi Spirit Waters.

"Zheng Ping Elder, this is the enhanced Qingbi Spirit Water that Xiyang House will produce in the future, with a stable refining power of 60%. The first forty have already been delivered to Jinlong Baoxing, and now there are about ten left."

"Moreover, the future production of enhanced Qingbi Spirit Water will increase to three hundred per month or more, and in terms of total value, the first-grade refining room will surpass the third-grade refining room."

Li Luo's calm voice echoed in the conference room, causing a moment of silence.

Everyone looked at him in shock, as if they were listening to a fairy tale.

"Enhanced Qingbi Spirit Water? What is that, I've never heard of it! Can the first-grade refining room of Xiyang House produce Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power? What are you talking about!" Zhuang Yi said angrily, his tone becoming less polite.

Or perhaps, he was feeling uneasy.

Because Li Luo's calm demeanor did not seem like that of someone who had lost his mind.

The others also looked at each other, and finally, Elder Zheng Ping, after a moment of silence, took the refining needle from the table and inserted it into the enhanced Qingbi Spirit Water.

Everyone saw the scale point to 60%.

The eyes of those present widened in disbelief.

"Everyone doesn't need to doubt whether these enhanced Qingbi Spirit Waters were refined by Vice President Yan herself. The first-grade refining room was sealed off a few days ago, but it will be opened to everyone soon. Everything the Young Lord said is true. In the future, the enhanced Qingbi Spirit Water produced by Xiyang House will be stable at 60%." Cai Wei's soft voice also sounded at this moment.

Elder Zheng Ping was stunned for a moment, still unable to believe it, but the ten Qingbi Spirit Waters before him told him that it was indeed true, and Li Luo and his group had no reason to lie to them with such an easily exposed lie.

After a while, Elder Zheng Ping sighed heavily, smiling bitterly, "If it's true, then the first-grade refining room might really surpass the third-grade refining room in the future."

"So I announce, Yan Lingqing will become the President of Xiyang House in Tianshu County."

"I disagree!" Zhuang Yi, with a twisted face, slammed the table and shouted.

"There must be something strange. How can the first-grade refining room possibly produce Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power stably?!"

Elder Zheng Ping's face darkened, "Your disagreement is useless. At least this contract with Jinlong Baoxing is enough to achieve this."

Zhuang Yi's face turned ashen, "I don't believe it, I don't believe they can stably provide Qingbi Spirit Water with 60% refining power!"

Li Luo stood up, pulled the curtain in the conference room, and from there, they could see the first-grade refining room inside the crystal wall. At that moment, many first-grade refining masters were busy, and someone was seen collecting the newly refined Qingbi Spirit Water. Finally, a servant carried a box of newly refined Qingbi Spirit Water to the conference room.

A moment later, when a box of enhanced Qingbi Spirit Water appeared before everyone, no one said a word of doubt. No matter how unbelievable it seemed, the fact was right before their eyes.

Even Zhuang Yi, with a pale face, sat down, muttering that it was impossible.

However, everyone knew that Zhuang Yi had lost this battle, and the key was that he probably never expected to lose so quickly.

Elder Zheng Ping's stern face showed a rare smile, and he stood up, announcing,

"From now on, Yan Lingqing will be the new President of Xiyang House in Tianshu County!"

Applause echoed in the conference room, and Li Luo leaned back in his chair, sighing in relief.

It was not easy, but at least the money bag was temporarily secured.
