Chapter 106: This Is Not a Money Issue (Monthly Ticket Bonus Update for Yue Ming Xin Xi)

In a small office of the Haidu Martial Dao Institute, Cheng Zhe and Chen Tongren sat with stern faces. In front of them stood Yan Xuan and Lin Dandan. Yan Xuan was covered in bruises and looked utterly disheveled, while Lin Dandan lowered her head. No one needed to ask to know what had happened.

“You said Bai Kousi admitted to killing San Chuan Fu Yi at Xiao Kaitian’s place?” Chen Tongren took a fierce puff of his cigarette. The room had air conditioning, and with four people crammed in, the smoke made it stuffy, sweat beading on his forehead. “That Xiao Kaitian has a high possibility of being a martial cultivator?”

“Yes, I was just saying we were acting on orders, but Master Bai, damn it!” Yan Xuan said angrily. “That white witch beat me up like this. Deputy Director, Director, she’s showing contempt for the Haidu Martial Dao Institute.”

Chen Tongren glanced at him. This idiot, a mid-realm cultivator thinking he could challenge a master. He, at the peak of the mid-realm, still had to address Bai Kousi as “Sister Bai.” Now wanting to drag him and Cheng Zhe into this? Forget it. He filtered that thought out automatically.

“Since Bai Kousi chose to be with Xiao Kaitian, this Xiao Kaitian is definitely problematic. Lin Dandan, what’s your opinion?”

Lin Dandan raised her head, her eyes carrying some fatigue: “At first, we suspected the disappearance or death of San Chuan Fu Yi was connected to Xiao Kaitian, because we estimated that Xiao Kaitian is at least a mid-realm martial cultivator.”

“But this person is strange, with no martial cultivator aura on him, so we suspected maybe he had some secret techniques or treasures from the family. This time, our purpose was to verify the specific situation.”

“Who knew Master Bai was there too. Her personality is overbearing and unreasonable, making detailed investigation impossible. Xiao Kaitian is definitely a martial cultivator. According to the challenge tournament staff report, he participated twice and won both.”

“Director, Deputy Director, if Xiao Kaitian is really above mid-realm martial cultivator, according to Martial Dao world regulations, he must enter the Martial Dao System for monitoring.”

Cheng Zhe felt more and more displeased as he listened. One was Bai Kousi, a young disciple from a prestigious sect, casually running around here, knowing she couldn’t beat you but not so arrogant. And Xiao Kaitian, the Martial Dao path had always been through layer after layer of assessments, screenings, kowtowing, various formalities, then enrolled into the Martial Dao System, becoming different from others. When did they from the Martial Dao world need to “beg” others to be enrolled?

He swallowed some bitter water: “You two still need some training. In a few days, the Martial Dao Conference will convene, and there might be changes in the high-level Martial Dao bureaus and institutes.”

“At this time, we need to stay steady and not be impatient or rash. What kind of person is Bai Kousi? Known as the White Witch, previously she would challenge and enter the sect on a whim. How many people have been defeated by her? Such a stubborn one getting involved with Xiao Kaitian, you think about it carefully. What kind of person is Xiao Kaitian?”

“We propose to enroll Xiao Kaitian. If he enters the Martial Dao world in the future, he will be too powerful, what can we do?”

This speech made Yan Xuan and Lin Dandan suddenly realize. Indeed, the director is old and experienced.

Lin Dandan explained: “But if Xiao Kaitian enters the Martial Dao, he can directly challenge him by name, and his realm will be clear.”

“What’s the realm of Xiao Kaitian, and how is it related to us?” Cheng Zhe smiled and looked at them, giving them pointers: “On the contrary, Xiao Kaitian also has the right to challenge by name.”

At this point, Yan Xuan and Lin Dandan fully understood. Cheng Zhe’s approach was to protect himself, throwing the problem of Xiao Kaitian directly upwards. He wouldn’t take this pot, just wait steadily for a few more years to retire.

“By the way, isn’t there a jounin from the island country in Haidu? Where is that person?”

“That person didn’t enter. When entering customs, they checked and found a fever, so sent back.”

Lin Dandan was stunned, answering.

“What kind of mess is this.” Cheng Zhe sighed, placing the teacup heavily on the table: “A few days later, the elders’ meeting of Yinshan Qimen Sect is coming. At that time, they will definitely look for Xiao Kaitian. You follow up.”

“Yes!”

“Remember, no matter what happens, we shouldn’t act lightly. Let the stubborn ones provoke others.”

“Understood!”

The Martial Dao Institute was busy preparing. On Xiao Kaitian’s side, it was proceeding smoothly. The special documentary’s production, Chen Jingming and Jameson responsible, Tang Tiantian responsible for external contacts, very smooth.

But Guo Lei encountered a problem. The employees responsible for invitations all looked dejected. She flipped through the invitation results, the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed.

The next discussion meeting, according to Zhao Qixi’s requirements, increased invitations for social “celebrities”, journalists, etc., but up to now, no one has accepted.

“The main reasons are two: one is the recent public opinion orientation issue. Qixi Media Consulting’s reputation isn’t great, many people hearing it’s us immediately refuse.”

“Additionally, our discussion meeting’s reputation isn’t big either.”

“And the theme of this issue is a bit too against policy. Many people don’t know what our discussion’s core point is and worry about over-involvement.”

“We don’t even have time to explain.”

The employees tossed out problems in a jumble. Guo Lei’s brows were tightly knitted. If so, the problem was big. She snapped her pen cap shut.

Just when frustrated, the office door was pushed open. Lin Xiang came in wearing a gray windbreaker, looking travel-worn, seeing a big crowd: “What’s the matter.”

“President Lin,” Guo Lei sighed, standing up and explaining the problem. She thought Lin Xiang would also be worried, but Lin Xiang shook his head: “What a small matter. Do you know any familiar people? Give me a phone number.”

“Yes, this is Professor Wang from the Traffic University, deputy professor of the social and humanities department. I have met him a few times before.” Guo Lei handed over a piece of paper.

Lin Xiang took it, without hesitation, took out his phone and dialed. After a few seconds, the call connected. A smile appeared on Lin Xiang’s face: “Professor Wang, this is Lin Xiang from Qixi Media Consulting, a colleague of Guo Lei. Little Guo should have explained to you, wanting to invite you to the next discussion meeting.”

“Oh oh, sorry, recent courses are busy…”

“Look, attendance fee is 5,000 yuan…” Lin Xiang smiled.

“Ah, it’s not about money. Moreover, this theme of yours this time carries quite strong political factors…”

“Attendance fee 10,000, so Professor Wang, you need to check and check. With you there, the discussion ideas will also be right…”

“But this isn’t my professional field, and it involves commerce…”

“Attendance fee 20,000. I know, it’s not about money. Besides, the purpose of the discussion is to serve the movie. You know the movie we’re making this time is a big production, the director requires high standards.”

“… this.”

“Then it’s decided. Please come over, it’s to help us check, no other meaning.”

“Okay, then send me the specific time and place.”

Lin Xiang put down the phone: “See, solving the problem is simple, attitude must be sincere!”
