Chapter 78 People from Headquarters

"Lingxi's phone." Xie Su picked up his phone, turning to give his charming wife a smile.

"That girl must be bored from being cooped up. She doesn't want to stay in Songhai anymore. Darling, don't agree right away. String her along. That brat might be young, but she's already playing mind games with me. She needs to be taught a lesson." She swayed her small waist, coming to sit at the table.

He immediately answered the phone, laughing, "Lingxi, missing Dad?"

"Dad, come to Songhai quickly, come to Songhai quickly!" His daughter's urgent voice came from the speaker, slightly shrill, seeming unusually excited.

"What's wrong? Homesick, huh? Want Dad to go to Songhai to get you?"

As Xie Su spoke, he glanced at his wife across the round table, who was waving her hands repeatedly. *Pretend to be in a difficult position, don't let her come back*, Xie’s mother said in lip language.

Some women are just born to fight. If there are no "sisters" in the family to fight with, the mother and daughter can still bicker. Xie Su never interfered in the mother-daughter’s scheming, but sometimes he was helpless, like now.

"Lingxi, Dad is busy lately and can't get away. Stay in Songhai for a few more days, and I'll come pick you up when I'm done."

Xie Su saw his wife pointing to herself again.

"Maybe you should call your mother?" Xie Su understood his wife's meaning.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Xie Lingxi's tone instantly returned to calmness: "Is my mom next to you?"

Xie's mother hurriedly waved her hand.

"No." Xie Su shook his head.

"Strange, I can smell a hint of tea even through the phone..." Xie Lingxi's tone turned cold, and she said:

"Dad, since you're busy, then I won't bother you. I'll find other uncles. My mom definitely won't do. After all, such an important matter as the return of the Holy Infant's head, how can my mom, a woman, represent the family?"

Xie Su was struck as if by five thunderbolts, and he was completely stunned.

The words "Holy Infant returning to reality" echoed repeatedly in his mind.

A surge of hot blood rushed to his heart, and Xie Su suddenly stood up, eagerly saying, "Lingxi, this is no joke. What news have you found out? Wasn't the Holy Infant's head lost in the Yai Mountain Sea? Quick, quick, tell Dad properly."

Any Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderer) family must control a high-level rule-type item, at least one. Rule-type items are the cornerstone of the Lingjing Xingzhe family, its foundation.

Losing the Holy Infant's head had already shaken the Xie family's foundation.

If they could welcome back the Holy Infant's head, it would be a great achievement.

His position as the family head would be completely secure.

Xie Lingxi just wouldn't answer him, acting coy, "Dad, it's been so long since I called you, and you don't even care about me. You don't even know how much I like the two items you gave Mom last year."

Xie Su said loudly, "I'll let her give them to you!"

"You brat, that's the wedding anniversary gift your dad gave me," Xie's mother shrieked.

"Thank you, Dad~" Xie Lingxi said with a smile, "By the way, I've been wandering around lately and I'm short of money. Mom manages my annual family dividends, saying I'm underage."

"Return it to you!" Xie Su said.

"And calculate interest." Xie Lingxi said, "But I don't understand these things either. I heard Brother Yuanshi say that the current annual interest rate at the bank is 20%."

Xie's mother's chest was already heaving with anger.

"Okay, Dad will get it back for you, Lingxi, stop playing games and tell me quickly!!" Xie Su urged.

"Brother Yuanshi just came back from the Yai Mountain Sea and brought back the Holy Infant's head, Dad, come quickly, if you don't come, he'll sell it to the Five Elements Alliance. I used a lot of favors to get you the right of first refusal." Xie Lingxi said, taking credit.

"Good daughter! Dad will come to Songhai right away." After saying that, Xie Su couldn't wait to hang up the phone.

"I'll go with you."

Xie's mother pushed away from the table, adopting a posture of wanting to eliminate her relatives for the greater good, and tear her own daughter apart.

"What are you going for? Don't make trouble for me." Xie Su glared back at her, and said:

"Take out the bank card and those two items. I'm going to see my precious daughter right away, hurry up, don't delay me from retrieving the Holy Infant's head."

Fujiawan, small villa.

In the living room, Xie Lingxi hung up the phone, satisfied, put down the phone, picked up half a watermelon on the table, dug out the most juicy piece in the middle, and happily put it in her mouth.

Zhang Yuanqing, who was at the table, sized her up, and said angrily:

"I feel like you, the middleman, are profiting a little too much."

"When a person attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven." Xie Lingxi twisted her body coquettishly, swallowed the watermelon, and said, "Brother Yuanshi, when my dad comes, remember to ask for a higher price."

She tilted her head and thought for a while, opening her mouth like a lion:

"Twenty billion in cash, one hundred bottles of Life Elixir." The Queen widened her eyes: "Does the Xie family have that much money? Even if they do, the Xie family doesn't have that much Life Elixir, right?"

Zhang Yuanqing spat at her: "Go, go, go, don't make trouble, I'm sincerely doing business with your family."

The Xie family, as a spirit realm family with a hundred years of business, has immeasurable assets, but it is absolutely impossible to take out 2 billion in cash in one go.

One hundred bottles of Life Elixir is even more impossible.

Xie Lingxi's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she said with a smile:

"It's a starting price, the Holy Infant's head was lost by one of my clan brothers. His grandfather is the old ancestor's most beloved son, and his father once competed with my father for the position of family head.

"He has a very good talent, and they all say that he will become the next family head of the Xie family. This clan brother of mine often ridiculed my father in private, saying that what's the point of being the family head, he doesn't even have a son to carry on the family line, and he's only glorious for one generation.

"After he died in the Yai Mountain Sea, although the old ancestor punished his lineage, he still didn't have the heart to punish them severely."

Zhang Yuanqing understood: "So the higher the price I ask, the better, in any case, I can't let the Holy Infant's head return to the Xie family easily."

Xie Lingxi nodded with a smile:

"If it's too easy to get it back, how can I show my father's role?"

Guan Ya pretended to suddenly understand: "Don't look at how young our Lingxi is, her scheming is much stronger than ours."

Xie Lingxi's face changed slightly, and she pretended to be weak and innocent: "Sister Guan Ya misunderstood me, this is what my dad said, I just happened to hear it. I'm only 17 years old, how would I understand these things?"

The Queen admired her very much: "Those of you who come from big families are just smart, unlike me, who was born poor and has a stupid brain."

Zhang Yuanqing felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and left: "I just came out of a dungeon, I'm going to sleep for a while."

Li Chunfeng silently gave him a gloating look, and then said:

"I've used my connections to find some good weapons for you, the attributes have been sent to your email, you can pick one, if you're not satisfied, tell me."

"Thanks!"

Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room, simply washed up, took out his phone, and opened his email, and sure enough, he saw the email sent by Li Chunfeng.

A total of three output weapons.

One is a dagger, one is a hunting gun, and one is a long knife.

The function of the dagger is armor breaking, bleeding, and hallucination, which is very suitable for assassins like Night Wanderers.

The function of the hunting gun is single, bursting, the characteristic is that the power is extremely great, the disadvantage is that the attack speed is slow, the accuracy is poor, and it cannot be fired continuously. When encountering close combat masters, it is often only possible to fire one shot.

The function of the long knife is also very single, poison, the person who is hit by the knife will be severely poisoned, even if they don't die, they will be crippled, which is very insidious, and it is a witch gu master's professional item.

"The three items are all good, but they can only be said to be good. At the Saint level, they are of medium quality."

Zhang Yuanqing didn't really look up to the three items. What he wanted were top-quality or even top-quality items at the Saint level.

For medium-quality Saint-level items, he has a lot in his item bar and gang warehouse. It's really too cost-effective to spend another ten or twenty million to buy them.

Although he always complains that money is waste paper and inflation is so severe, it is difficult for ordinary Saints to take out tens of millions at once.

As the old saying goes, assets and cash are two different things.

"I want a top-quality or even top-quality item, the price is negotiable." He replied to the email.

After selling the Yin-Yang Disc and the Holy Infant, he should be able to gather enough money for a top-quality item.

At 7:30 in the evening, Zhang Yuanqing was awakened by the ringtone of his mobile phone. He picked up his phone cursing, and found that it was Fu Qingyang calling.

After answering the phone, Fu Qingyang's unique voice with a cold tone came:

"The people from the Huaihai branch and the headquarters have arrived, and the Xie family's head is also here."

Zhang Yuanqing was invigorated.

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and went through the content discussed in the afternoon in his mind.

People from the headquarters have also come, which means that the requirements put forward by Fu Qingyang have not been accepted by the Huaihai branch, who feel that the price is too high, so they reported it to the headquarters.

Please the people from the headquarters come to Songhai to put pressure on, trying to use the reward in the bounty to get back the Yin-Yang Disc.

This kind of game is commonplace in large organizations. If you don't fight for something, others won't give it to you.

No one will sympathize with you.

The struggle and game under the rules is exactly what Fu Qingyang is best at and has been doing, so he will support Zhang Yuanqing.

Yuan Shitianzun, this kind of newcomer, does not have a solid foundation, does not have rich connections, and does not have "achievements" within the official, the Huaihai branch cannot let him have his way, it is very normal to find relationships to borrow power to pressure people.

So, there needs to be a game.

Originally, this was a win-win situation, because official members crave merit, and for the Huaihai branch, merit is a title, the interests it symbolizes are paid for by the headquarters and even the entire organization, they don't need to pay real money.

"Sometimes, compared to immediate interests, long-term interests are not very meaningful. This time, I want the headquarters to know that the rules of the system cannot bind me." Zhang Yuanqing hummed softly while putting on his shoes:

"I am a rebellious young man, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't believe in people."

A starlight lit up, and then disappeared, leaving a lingering sound in the room.

The next second, he saw a luxurious study, and saw Fu Qingyang sitting behind a large desk.

And three guests on the reception sofa.

Xie Su frowned, displeased, "Yuan Shitianzun, why don't you just ask for all of my Xie family's industries?"

"Family Head Xie is being too serious, this is my condition, if you agree, everything is easy to say, if you don't agree, the Holy Infant's head is mine." Zhang Yuanqing's tone was tough.

"Bastard!" Xie Su was furious, "You brat, you are deceiving my Xie family, have you thought about the consequences."

Yuan Shitianzun smiled: "Please pay attention to your words, Family Head Xie, are you going to threaten me in front of Elder Fu, in front of Detective Elder and Secretary Li?"

Xie Su took a deep breath, "I know your conditions, I will report them to the old ancestor."

After saying that, he got up with a displeased expression, and said, "Xie will take his leave first."

"Family Head Xie is very cooperative." Zhang Yuanqing said, "Don't mention it!"

In the plan he and Fu Qingyang discussed, the game with the headquarters cannot be too tough, but it cannot be not tough, so the Xie family has become the object of killing a chicken to scare the monkey.

First lay the groundwork for a "tough" atmosphere, so that it will be easier to bargain.

With what Xie Lingxi said in the afternoon, Zhang Yuanqing believed that Family Head Xie would definitely cooperate with his lion's opening, because this is also what Family Head Xie wanted.

As expected, Family Head Xie cooperated very smoothly. Watching Family Head Xie leave with a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the two people on the sofa.

Secretary Li said with a smile:

"Yuan Shi, sometimes, human feelings are more important than interests, you are asking for too much."

This sentence seemed to imply something.

"Secretary Li, Detective Elder, what price are you offering?" Zhang Yuanqing pretended not to understand.

Detective Elder said in a deep voice:

"Yuan Shitianzun, the Huaihai branch has already issued a bounty, B-level merit and an eight million cash reward, this is certified by the headquarters. We will not bargain with you, Yuan Shitianzun, you have to understand your identity, you can bargain with the Xie family, but the headquarters will not buy this." Zhang Yuanqing said:

"The content of the bounty, the headquarters recognizes, I don't recognize!"
