BXBX NOVEL Chapter 7277 There's A Mine At Home
Lin Yi's mouth twitched-he was just being polite, and they weren't even close.
Zhang Yiming, of course, came for real and sat beside Lin Yi, pushing Jin Yuan Bao to the side.
He even said that he liked Lin Yi and Jin Yuan Bao the most, so he wanted to sit between them.
Lin Yi thought,"I don't need you to like me. Can you sit back down?"
Of course, that was just a thought-he wanted to get some information from Zhang Yiming.
"Junior Brother Zhang, as a member of the senior disciples, will your friends despise you for befriending us with such a clear flag?"
Lin Yi took a bite of the food he just got and asked Zhang Yiming casually,"I don't think the senior disciples have a good impression of us new disciples. I think you'll offend a lot of people by doing this!"
"It doesn't matter! Even if this didn't happen, my days wouldn't be good!"
A bitter smile appeared on Zhang Yiming's face as he cupped his hands to Lin Yi."Senior brother Sima, I'll tell you the truth. Because I'm a coward, the people around me ask me for things and order me to do this and that. Seven or eight out of ten of the resources that my family sends over regularly are divided up. Only a little more than ten percent fall into my hands. I really can't stand it!"
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Yiming's table and saw that there were still a few empty seats. It seemed that he was the one who was sent here to reserve seats!
This kind of thing was often thankless and easy to cause conflicts, which showed Zhang Yiming's status in his small group.
It would be fine if everyone took turns, but from Zhang Yiming's words, he should be the one taking care of this.
"Although senior brother Sima has just arrived and we've only just met, this little brother's judgment is not bad. I think senior brother Sima is a very good person. I heard that he takes care of the people around you in the dense forest, so this little brother wants to follow senior brother Sima ... Don't worry, in the future, all the resources in my family will be dedicated to you, senior brother Sima!"
Zhang Yiming was quite Frank, making his intentions clear to Lin Yi right away.
"I don't really need those things. I'm just curious, those people who are oppressing you, could it be the steward eldest senior brother and second senior brother? Otherwise, why didn't you go to them for help?"
Lin Yi was curious-if Zhang Yiming decided to join the third senior, then how much of a failure were first and second senior?
"To be honest, the two of you are indeed the leaders ... In fact, our sword spring sect has a tradition of handing over resources like this, but we don't take it that hard. Usually, it's only ten to twenty percent ..."
Zhang Yiming lowered his voice so that only Lin Yi could hear him,"In the entire sect, I dare say that no one has handed in more than me! Eldest senior brother and second senior brother are in cahoots with each other, I don't even have a place to reason with them!"
This was also why Zhang Yiming had come to Lin Yi's side on the first day!
As far as he was concerned, the only person who could protect him was his senior brother, Lin Yi.
"Why do they have to squeeze you so hard?"
Lin Yi's lips twitched. He wasn't interested in the tradition of the sect-it was an unspoken rule!
When the sect distributed resources, the people below would take the initiative to hand over a portion of it to the people above. Passing it on layer by layer, it was very easy to make the strong stronger and the weak weaker.
After a slight pause, Lin Yi made a guess,"Will you still have more resources than the others even if they leave 10% to 20% of the resources for you?"
The sect would distribute resources, but there wouldn't be too many outer sect disciples, so the outside families would regularly send some resources to support their own disciples.
Zhang Yiming was being squeezed like this because his family had sent too many resources to him, causing everyone to be jealous!
"Right! Senior brother Sima, you're really amazing. You were able to guess this at once!"
Zhang Yiming was surprised at Lin Yi's sensitivity."They took my things, but what I had left was actually enough. It didn't matter at first, but they took my things and kept bullying me. I really couldn't stand it!"
Lin Yi was speechless. Zhang Yiming was an honest man, but it was normal for honest people to be bullied!
This was because the wicked would immediately think of revenge after being bullied, while the honest would tolerate this and then lead to more bullying ...
Human nature was evil!
"Why did your family send so many resources over? it's a waste if you can't use them all. Even if you're rich, you don't have to act like this. Seriously, does your family have a mine?"
Lin Yi didn't even think it was funny at all-it was a cold joke.
The funny thing was that after Zhang Yiming heard this, he actually nodded seriously and said,""Senior brother Sima, you're really a God! You know everything! My family does have mines, not to mention the normal gold and silver mines, but the most important one is a Yunying refined iron mine, which is one of the necessary materials for forging Supreme-grade weapons, so it's more profitable. "
Lin Yi's mouth twitched. There really was a mine?
It wasn't the window frame or the door frame ... No wonder people wanted to squeeze you!
You big fat sheep, the oil is dripping down by itself, if I don't squeeze you, it's really unforgivable!
"I know, you're a member of Zhang clan in Yunying city!"
Jin Yuan Bao slapped his knee and suddenly realized,""I see, I should have thought of this earlier!"
"Brother Jin, do you know Junior Brother Zhang?"
Lin Yi looked at Jin Yuanbao curiously. The guy had a lot of friends, and he didn't expect people from other cities to know about him.
"No, I don't know senior brother Zhang. However, I know Zhang clan in Yunying city. Their Yunying fine iron ore is in short supply. Our Jinyuan bank also has some business dealings with their clan!"
Jin Yuan Bao explained as he looked at Zhang Yiming with a gentler expression.
"So you're from Luling city's gold yuan bank! That's such a coincidence!"
Zhang Yiming was overjoyed. He reached out and grabbed Jin Yuan Bao's hand. Their chubby hands were similar, but one was slightly whiter and the other slightly darker. "We're on the same side, so please take care of me in the future!"
We're on the same side now?
Lin Yi's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything when he saw how Zhang Yiming and Jin Yuan Bao were regretting not having met earlier ...
So be it. At least Zhang Yiming was not a bad person!
Zhang Yiming and Jin Yuan Bao were having a good conversation, but they turned back to Lin Yi after a while.
He knew very well who the absolute leader was among the few people present.
