Chapter 73: Chapter 50 [Chen Yan’s Troubles]_2

Several clues came together, and the woman in purple immediately understood.

President Fang put down the teapot, wiped his hands with a cloth, and then picked up the thing on the desk to take a glance.

An order bill from the bank, three million.

"Elder Zi, I don’t understand your meaning." President Fang leaned back against the sofa, looking straight at the woman.

The woman in purple smiled faintly, "President Fang, are you dissatisfied with this compensation?"

"No, we have known each other for several years, and Elder Zi has helped me several times... I really don’t understand why Elder Zi is apologizing," President Fang continued to feign ignorance.

"President Fang, there’s no need to test each other," the woman in purple said slowly. "I come with full sincerity this time. What Luo Qing did was not my intention. We have known each other for years, and President Fang should know my character."

President Fang nodded and gave a thumbs-up, "It’s beyond words, Elder Zi’s character is like this."

"President Fang, you’re too kind," the woman in purple politely smiled. "Luo Qing is ultimately a disciple from my sect. I can’t just ignore him. Publicly, what he did was unethical and violated moral principles. As a fellow disciple, I can’t overlook his actions and will punish him accordingly.

Privately... he exploited my trust, deceiving my friend, which means you, President Fang. I must come and apologize personally."

President Fang nodded — now that is the right way to speak!

Without clear explanations, you can’t brush things off with an ambiguous apology.

Moreover, this woman speaks very cleverly. She clearly came to plead for Luo Qing, but her words sounded as if she stood on my side.

This woman is indeed formidable.

No wonder over the years in Jinling Prefecture, among those who practice mystical techniques, her reputation is the highest. She can associate with many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen — not only because of her genuine skills, but her emotional intelligence and strategic ways of speaking and acting are also not low.

And, of course, she is a seasoned beauty.

"Since Elder Zi has laid everything out clearly, if I keep beating around the bush, it would mean I’m not treating you as a friend," President Fang sighed and said slowly, "We have known each other for several years, and when I faced problems, I always asked you to clarify them for me. This time, what Luo Qing did was truly excessive."

While speaking, he pointed to his leg, "I’m still wearing a cast now!"

"Mm, I understand."

"Also, last month, I inexplicably fell ill and was hospitalized, almost dying.

Later, I encountered business issues, a truckload of goods was lost, causing a financial loss of several million."

President Fang said this and glanced at the woman in purple: "Elder Zi, it is due to our past friendship that I am willing to meet you today."

The woman in purple maintained a calm attitude, nodded, and said: "Considering your suffering, President Fang is generous."

She pondered for a moment, took up the bank order and tore it apart!

Then she took out a cloisonné blue signing pen from her bag, wrote a new number on a piece of paper, and pushed it toward President Fang.

"Does this number work for you?"

President Fang glanced at it and showed a slight smile on his face.

The woman in purple nodded, "Tomorrow, Luoyun House will transfer this amount to your company account as consulting fees, is that okay?"

"Alright, I’ll have Assistant Yan contact Luoyun House to issue the invoice."

"Good!"

Relieved, the woman in purple realized everything was settled as soon as the compensation was accepted.

Though she also felt a bit regrettable.

She subtly tested earlier.

Transfer money to the company account?

If it were to a private account, it would mean their personal friendship could continue.

But President Fang agreed right away and said he would ask Assistant Yan to issue an invoice...

That means... no more personal relationships.

This matter is settled, publicly.

From now on, they will walk their separate ways!

What a pity...

This President Fang, among her clients, is neither the richest nor the most powerful. Yet he possesses unique resources that others do not.

Over the years, she has leveraged quite a lot in his field.

Additionally, President Fang is particularly superstitious and trusts her deeply. While other clients may need her for ceremonial reasons and may not necessarily believe in her. Business is just business, and establishing personal connections afterward is challenging.

In contrast, dealing with President Fang was the most convenient.

What a pity.

The woman in purple stood up and gently said, "I won’t bother President Fang any longer. If there is a chance, I will arrange a banquet to thank President Fang!"

"You’re too kind." President Fang stood up as well, "My legs are inconvenient, so I won’t see you off, Elder Zi."

Just as the woman in purple was about to leave, she looked up suddenly and saw a crude-looking bronze compass on the antique shelf.

The woman in purple felt intrigued, took a step forward for a closer look.

"Oh?"

Crude workmanship, average quality.

But strangely, the woman in purple could sense a faint flow of weak spiritual power emanating from the compass?

"President Fang, is this another good item you’ve added to your collection?"

President Fang glanced at the woman, made a playful remark, and said casually, "A friend’s gift. Elder Zi’s collection is dazzling, if you are willing to part with some, I would be happy to buy a few at a high price."

Seeing no point in pursuing further, the woman in purple tactfully said goodbye.

After sending off the woman in purple, President Fang sat back on the sofa, a faint trace of happiness appearing on his face.

That Teacher Chen, is indeed wise!

With one move, he made Elder Zi, the top mystical techniques practitioner in Jinling Prefecture, come to apologize and offer compensation.

Moreover, this woman immediately recognized the treasure left by Teacher Chen: the compass!

Teacher Chen, truly a master!

He picked up a white cloth, took the compass from the antique shelf, and carefully polished it.

A moment later, Assistant Yan walked in: "Boss, Elder Zi has been escorted out."

"Mm, tomorrow they’ll transfer an amount, once received, have finance issue the invoice to them."

"Alright." Assistant Yan, though somewhat puzzled, didn’t ask any questions, as he was calm and reliable.

"Xiaoyan, what do you think about Teacher Chen?" President Fang asked softly.

Assistant Yan thought for a moment, "He should be capable and... not difficult to interact with."

"Mm, his capability is definite, but why do you say easy to interact with?"

Assistant Yan carefully considered his words before slowly saying, "I’ve witnessed many ’teachers’ with you over these years."

Those teachers, how should I say, their way of speaking and acting are always roundabout and enigmatic.

This Teacher Xiao Chen is different, probably because he is young, his way of speaking and acting is straightforward.

Likes what he likes, dislikes what he dislikes, can do what can be done, cannot do what can’t be done.

What he wants, the conditions he sets...

All are laid out transparently, such a person is easy to deal with, no need for guessing, not tiring!"

President Fang pondered, "Hmm... not tiring. Your evaluation is interesting."

Assistant Yan continued: "This Teacher Xiao Chen loves money. Well, actually, all those teachers love money. But others would pretend to be dignified, this Teacher Xiao Chen directly states the conditions.

I think he is actually quite straightforward and doesn’t appreciate unnecessary formalities."

Boss, if you wish to build a good relationship with Teacher Xiao Chen, we should act straightforwardly."

I believe he is a kind-hearted person, if you treat him well, he will surely remember your kindness."

President Fang patted his forehead: "Yes, yes! I have dealt with too many high-profile individuals, got used to their roundabout ways! Your reminder is right, for someone like Teacher Xiao Chen, showing direct goodwill is the way!"

Looking at his phone, President Fang immediately said, "Prepare the New Year’s gift set in the warehouse, pick out a set! Then prepare the car, I want to visit Teacher Xiao Chen!"

What about the standard of the gift?"

"Didn’t we prepare a New Year’s gift set for Chairman Zhao earlier? Take that one, we’ll prepare another for him later."
