Transmigration with QQ Farm Chapter 278

“Ask away!” Even though Zhu Xiangyu did not think particularly highly ofthem, but as a businessman by birth, he was also not in the business of justoffending others casually.

Not to mention that he wasn’t looking at just one or two individuals,but a group of them, from all Nine Top Sects, all of whom were his customers.He has to entertain them at least for the sake of their Sect Leaders.

Elder Lin smiled without dwelling on that too much, “Mr. Zhu, as far aswe know, Green Mountain Manor was the only ent.i.ty that has businesstransactions with the Cheng’s. This auction that the Cheng’s are hosting isopened for everyone to attend. The reason that we stopped by here tonight wasto see whether you can provide us with some insider information on the Cheng’sauction. Might you be able to do that?”

Zhu Xiangyu was a little surprised. He thought they were there for othermatters; he didn’t expect they, too, wants to find out the Cheng’s pocket card.

As for what were the Cheng’s pocket hand, wouldn’t he like to find outtoo? It was just that…

The brat Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t someone you could beat around the bushwith; one would have to watch out that she wasn’t beating around the bush withyou!

He shook his head lightly and took a look at all the hopeful stares fromthe ones standing in front of him and said, “I want to find out as well;unfortunately, I wasn’t privileged to that information either.”

“What? That’s impossible!” Bagua Sect’s elder was the first to shout outin disbelief.

And he wasn’t the only one, the rest of them found that hard to believeas well.

Zhu Xiangyu had on a look of despise toward their doubtfulness. Hedidn’t bother to say much more, he really didn’t care about these so-calledelders.

Monk Wudao and Nun Saochen didn’t have much reactions to that; it wasalmost as if they didn’t hear him at all.

Elder Su of Xiaoyao Sect was the only one who gave Zhu Xiangyu a deep,long look before he nodded and said, “They didn’t give you any heads up at all?”

“Yes, I am certain that the Cheng’s have a pocket hand. Unfortunately,they were unwilling to share prior to the event. They only said I will not bedisappointed and that I should prepare sufficient capital. Nothing beyondthat.”

Zhu Xiangyu told the truth, but only four of people there believed him.The rest of them either felt dubious toward his statement or didn’t believe himat all. But that didn’t bother Zhu Xiangyu at all. Believe it or not, that wastheir problem, not his.

“Amituofo1…” said Monk Wudao as he stood up. “Thank you for beingstraightforward with us, Mr. Zhu. We shall take off now. See you tomorrow!”

“You take care as well, Grandmaster!” said Zhu Xiangyu equallyrespectfully toward the representative from Shengseng Sect.

Nun Saochen stood up as well. Lowering her head, she said to him, “Mr.Zhu, have a good night!”

“Same to you, Abbess!” said Zhu Xiangyu as he returned the salutation.

“We will see you tomorrow, Mr. Zhu!”

As the two representatives of the religious sects have taken off, therest of the people didn’t stay behind either. One by one they bid Zhu Xiangyufarewell and went on their way.

Over at the Cheng’s, the few of the individuals were still arrangementmatters for the very next days and going over items that they would need to payspecial attention to.

Cheng Xiao Xiao sat on the sideline and mostly just listening in on theconversation. Basically her father Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang were the onesmaking the calls. As for Old Man Ying, he strictly treated himself as asideliner and just do as he was told instead of worrying himself aboutanything.

When everything was settled, it was almost 9 o’clock at night.

“Xiao Xiao, something else you’d like to add?” Cheng Biyuan rarely everseen his daughter sat around for 4-6 hours, he couldn’t help but smiled andasked.

The other two also turned and looked at her, waiting for her to talk.

Cheng Xiao Xiao pouted a bit and said, “Dad, the saying ‘no good deedsgo unpunished’ was so true! Hrm Hrm!”

“Oh yeah? What are these ‘good deeds’ that you are speaking of? You havesome kind of pleasnat surprises up your sleeves?” smiled Zhou Jinjiang.
