BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4033 The Pill Hall Is Furious
"I\'m only an honorary Vice President, while you, elder Hong, are a Vice President with real power. They\'re not on the same level at all. I\'ll have to ask elder Hong to take care of me in the future." Lin Yi said humbly.
It was the truth-the credit was all Lin Yi \'s, but the biggest beneficiary was still Hong Zhong. He\'d been promoted from the North Island branch Manager to the Vice President of the headquarters, just below the president and Executive Vice President. He was practically the third in command-this kind of promotion speed was no different from a rocket.
"Lin shaoxia\'s words are too much. With Lin shaoxia\'s shocking ability, let alone the Vice President, even if I become the president, I\'ll still have to rely on you." Hong Zhong shook his head and laughed, then sighed,"However, times make heroes. This saying is true. I\'ve been working hard for decades and was stuck at the manager position of the North Island branch. Now that I\'ve experienced a crisis, I\'ve become the Vice President. It\'s a little unreal."
"There\'s an old saying in the secular world. Risk and benefit are always in direct proportion." Lin Yi nodded.
"It\'s all thanks to young hero Lin that we were able to escape this time. Otherwise, I\'m afraid I wouldn\'t even be able to keep my position as the branch manager. I would have become the scapegoat for those people above me. I wouldn\'t have the glory I have today." Hong Zhong said with lingering fear.
There were no swords or knives in the business world, but the dangers were beyond that. Hong Zhong couldn\'t help but sweat when he thought about the sudden danger. It was fortunate that Lin Yi was with him!
As they were talking, the new day of the auction had begun. Hong Zhong immediately suggested,""Although the mission has been completed, the four-Island Auction is a rare opportunity. If you don\'t have any objections, we can stay on this northernmost Island for two more days. If you see anything good on the way, you can ask and I will definitely buy it for you. This is also a way to express my gratitude. You must not refuse."
Seeing how sincere the man was, Lin Yi naturally didn\'t want to reject him. He nodded,"Alright, then I\'ll thank elder Hong first. I also want to see what good things there are!"
This time, the favor was too big. If he did not ask Hong Zhong to compensate him in private, he was afraid that the other party would feel bad. It was not a good thing for such feelings to accumulate for a long time. Moreover, it was not suitable for a long-term cooperation in the future. He might as well let him do something to ease his feelings. After all, Hong Zhong did not look like the owner of lack of spiritual Jade.
Although the scale of today\'s auction was slightly lower compared to yesterday \'s, the oddities of the items were far greater, simply opening people\'s eyes.
Many of the items were so valuable that even the professional appraisers present couldn\'t give a proper explanation. They could only vaguely say that these items were extraordinary and that they needed to be explored for their specific uses.
Lin Yi had always been interested in new things like this-even if he couldn\'t figure it out himself, there was still something that might\'ve lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years in the Jade space. He\'d at least be able to figure something out, and he might even get a star inkstone if he wasn\'t careful.
However, it wasn\'t just Lin Yi who was interested in these strange items-the others were also looking for a bargain, especially Nan Tianba\'s group. With Yu Zhe\'s extensive reading, their ability to pick up a bargain was far from what ordinary people could compare to.
Just as Lin Yi was busy with the auction, Tian Gang had already returned to Nakajima with the people from the pill Hall and Zheng Tianjie\'s body.
After hearing the news of Zheng Tianjie\'s death, the usually quiet Hall of alchemy was in an uproar. Zheng Tianjie\'s grandfather, Zheng dongjue, the Vice Hall Master of the hall of alchemy, almost fainted on the spot.
Zheng Tianjie was the only golden core stage master in his grandson\'s generation. He was also an Alchemist with unlimited potential. He had always had high hopes for him and was trained as his successor. Now, he had just gone to the northernmost Island and returned as a charred corpse. How could he accept this?
"Who did this?" These four words came out of Zheng dongjue\'s hoarse voice. It was like a roar from hell, making all the pill Hall disciples present shudder.
Other than Zhang Liju\'s in-name disciples, everyone else was trembling in fear under Zheng dongjue\'s aggressive gaze.
In the end, one of the elders who led the team to the northernmost Island had no choice but to stand up and explain,""Vice Hall Master, young master Zheng\'s death wasn\'t caused by a homicide, but ... But because his furnace accidentally exploded while he was refining pills last night."
"A furnace explosion?" Zheng dongjue glanced at him coldly and said furiously,""Tianjie was a dignified fourth-grade Alchemist and a master of the Golden core stage. How dare you say that he died from an explosion of his furnace? blow one up for me!"
The elder was so scared that he shrunk his neck and was speechless. Zheng dongjue\'s reaction was understandable. In fact, even they found it hard to believe in the beginning. It was only after they had checked the scene and the corpse back and forth that they finally dared to come to the conclusion that Zheng dongjue had died from an explosion.
"Hmph! This Hall Master doesn\'t believe your stupid conclusion at all. Go and gather all the elders, and this Hall Master will re-examine it!" Zheng dongjue gritted his teeth and roared.
As the Vice Hall Master, without Zhang Liju around, Zheng dongjue was someone who could make decisions with a single word. Even those elders with extraordinary status would not easily refute his face, let alone such a small matter.
Seeing that all the elders had arrived, Tian Gang\'s heart suddenly jumped to his throat. Every one of them was a famous Big Shot in Middle Island. Putting aside their status as super alchemists, their strength and vision were far from ordinary people. Especially when it came to the inspection of furnace explosions, they were experts among experts.
Holding his breath, he watched as the elders came forward to check the bodies one by one. Tian Gang\'s mood was unprecedentedly nervous, afraid that these people would see something that shouldn\'t be there.
However, the elders \'final conclusion was the same as before. Zheng Tianjie\'s death was due to the explosion of his furnace! (To be continued.) "
