Xiyang House, Council Chamber.

  When Li Luo, Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing arrived at the scene, they found that there was not an empty seat, all the high-level management of Xiyangwu were present.

  In front of him, Zhuang Yi had a smile on his face, but beside him sat an old man with a somewhat stern-looking face.

  "Huh?"

  When they saw the old man, Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing both hummed softly, then explained to Li Luo, who was slightly puzzled beside them: "That old man is called Zheng Ping, a senior elder of the Xiyangwu headquarters. He has a high seniority in Xiyangwu, and when the two masters established Xiyangwu, he was one of the first batch of elders."

  "But this old man is extremely stubborn and strict, a hard bone to crack. Hes usually at the Wang City headquarters, but he suddenly arrived here without any warning, which doesnt seem like a good omen."

  When the two women introduced Li Luo, everyone in the conference hall stood up and bowed to Li Luo.

  Even Zheng Ping, the elder from the Qiyangwu headquarters, stood up and looked at Li Luo, saying: "Greetings, Young Master."

  "Thank you, Elder Zheng." Li Luo smiled at Zheng Ping and then took his seat along with Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing.

  " When did Elder Zheng arrive at Nanfeng City?" Yan Lingqing suddenly asked.

  Zheng Pings face was expressionless as he said, "The performance of the Xiyang House Tianxu County branch has been very poor this year. The headquarters asked me to come and take a look, and at the same time, settle the unresolved matter of the president position here."

  As he spoke, his gaze became somewhat stern as he stared at Yan Lingqing and said: "Vice President Yan, Ive reviewed some financial reports. The performance of the First-Rate Refining Chamber under your management has been extremely poor recently, even affecting the reputation of Xi Yang House in Tianxuan Prefecture. What do you have to say about this?"

  Yan Lingqing said coldly: "Why it would be so, youd better ask Vice President Zhuang Yi, he might know more clearly."

  Vice President Zhuang Yi immediately said: "Vice President Yan has no ability himself, dont shift the blame to others."

  "If it werent for you secretly holding back the materials in the refining room, causing me to be unable to even carry out some training at times, would this result have occurred?" Yan Lingqing coldly rebuked.

  Vice President Zhuang Yi called Qu: "The situation of Luolan Prefecture in Tienshui County was not good from the beginning, and some refining materials had to be obtained through those three families in Tienshui County. However, those three families have a very tight grip on us, so naturally we cant get many materials. Moreover, my third-grade refining room is the best refining room in Xiyangwus performance, shouldnt it be given priority?"

  "You!" Yan Lingqin slammed her hand on the table in anger.

  "Quiet!"

  Zheng Ping scolded loudly, glaring fiercely at Zhuang Yi and Yan Lingqing, saying: "You both have your reasons, but Im not interested in listening. What I care about is the performance of Xiyangwu, whoever drags down Xiyangwus progress and affects its reputation, I wont let him off."

  The performance of the Tianshu County Branch has been getting worse and worse, and the ultimate reason is that there is no president in charge of the overall situation. After discussion at headquarters, the Tianshu County Branch must decide on a new president as soon as possible.

  In the conference hall, there was a subtle silence. Other high-ranking officials remained silent because they were well aware that this long-standing dispute was a contradiction between Yan Lingqing and Zhuang Yi, and behind it was something deeper, so they wisely maintained their neutrality.

  Li Luos eyes flickered slightly, and in fact Zheng Pings words were not wrong. The Xiyang House Tianxuan County branch is now too divided internally, and if they really want to maintain stability, the position of president is the most important thing. Of course, the key is... who will be elected as the president?

  With a thought in his mind, he smiled and asked: "Who does Elder Zheng Ping think is more suitable to be the president?"

  Although Zheng Ping was not polite to Yan Lingqing and Zhuang Yi, he still maintained a bit of respect when facing Li Luo. He fell silent for a moment before saying, "If we follow the usual rules of Xi Yang House, its usually the person in charge of the refining room with the best performance who gets promoted to president."

  Zhuang Yis face showed a subtle smile, as the three refining rooms in Xi Yang House, the third-grade refining room he was in charge of had an annual profit far exceeding that of the other two refining rooms, so this rule was most beneficial to him.

  However, Elder Zhengping continued to say: "In the past, the rules were like this, but if the young master of Shaofu has any suggestions, he can also bring them up. I can pass them back to headquarters. However, this time the Xiyangwu branch must decide on a president, otherwise, I may have to stay here forever."

  "I also hope that Master Shǎo Fǔ will not blame me. Everything I have done is for the sake of Xi Yang House and Luo Lan Fu."

  Zhuang Yis expression didnt change upon hearing this, but in his heart he was somewhat annoyed. This old man really is too talkative.

  Li Luo looked at the old man with a thoughtful expression, it seemed that Zheng Ping didnt seem to be sent by someone to target them as Yan Lingchen had suspected. At least what he said didnt sound like something from Pei Huans side.

  The headquarters of Xiyangwu suddenly sent someone to Tianxu County, where there might be an open and secret struggle between Jiang Qinge and Pei Huans factions, but the person who came was Zheng Ping, a stubborn elder with no factional tendency, which can be seen as the final result of the struggle between the two sides.

  In some sense, its not entirely bad news either.

  If the position of the president is really decided by the performance of each refining room, then Yan Lingqings disadvantage would be too great. After all, Zhuang Yis three-product refining room is the heavyweight product in Xi Yang House, and its annual profit is even higher than that of the first- and second-grade refining rooms combined.

  Yan Lingqing on the side also understood this point, her pretty face was icy cold, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger, about to erupt.

  But Li Luo suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on her back, staring at Zheng Ping Lao Lao, saying: "Is it that whichever refining room performs the best next will be promoted to president?"

  "Right." Elder Zheng Ping nodded.

  Li Luosan nodded and said, "This method is good, lets do it this way."

  As soon as this was said, it immediately caused a low murmur of voices.

  Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing both looked at him with some astonishment, clearly not understanding why he would agree, as this obviously meant that he would be giving up the position of future leader.

  Zhuang Yi was also stunned for a few breaths, then burst out laughing: "Still, the young master is broad-minded! Thats right, after all, we ultimately want Creek House to be better, dont we? If Creek House gets better, isnt that also making money for you, Young Master?"

  Zheng Ping Lao also showed some surprise, and he asked Li Luo: "Has the young master really made up his mind?"

  Li Luo smiled and nodded, then didnt say much either. He pulled Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing, who were still in shock, out of the conference hall.

  As soon as they walked out of the meeting hall, Li Luo immediately let go of the two women. However, Yan Lingqings voice was already laced with anger: "Li Luo, what are you trying to do? That rule is extremely unfavorable to me, why did you agree to it? If you dont want me here, just say so and Ill leave for Wang City immediately."

  Cai Wei also stared at Li Luo with beautiful eyes, from the contact during this period of time, Li Luo should not be a reckless person, but todays behavior is really incomprehensible.

  Yan Lingqing arrived at the Creek Yang House in Tian Shu County, and after much effort, she managed to maintain her current situation. However, due to a single sentence from Li Luo, she was directly sent back to her original state.

  Li Luo looked at the two women and smiled, saying: "Two sisters, Im not a fool, cant I see whos worth trusting?"

  Cai Wei looked at him with a puzzled expression, while Yan Lingqing crossed her arms and turned away, not wanting to deal with him.

  "Although this arrangement is unfavorable to Ling Qing, dont you think that this is the best opportunity to send Ling Qing to the position of President and drive away the scourge of Zhuang Yi?" Li Luo laughed.

  Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing slightly frowned, this is indeed a good opportunity, but the key is... that Zhuang Yi is in an absolute advantage, in the end, who will drive whom away?

  It was Cai Weis eyes that sparkled with a hint of surprise as she stared at Li Luo.

  "Could it be..."

  "Can you help Lingqing turn things around?"
