Chapter 494: Rongxian Chamber of Commerce

"How can you say that about Junior Sister Tingyi."

Shen Xingyao scolded, but with a faint smile on his face, it was obvious that he did not really mean to blame these people.

"We are not speaking up for Senior Brother Shen."

The students said with a smile.

Shen Xingyao's eyes were also cast on Jiang Tingyi's back as she left. The outline of her delicate body looming under the wide robe made him feel hot.

"Hmph, wait. When my grandfather becomes the chief elder, the little girl will be mine sooner or later."

Shen Xingyao said secretly in his heart.

...

After leaving Tianyue College, Su Chen began to make his next plan.

He came to the imperial capital not only to participate in the genius competition in half a year. The genius competition is just a long-term goal.

What he needs to do now is to gain a foothold in the imperial capital. When he came to the imperial capital, everything was in ruins and it was a new beginning.

The first step for Su Chen was to need money.

You have to know that the cost of living in the imperial capital is quite high. Without money, even supporting Gu Qianxue, a foodie, is difficult, let alone buying cultivation materials for six people to cultivate.

Moreover, this time, Su Chen wants to make a lot of money, not a small amount.

He wants to get it done in one go and create a business that can make money continuously, so that he can solve the problem once and for all.

Su Chen naturally chose his old business, elixir.

The large amount of Shenxing grass that he saw outside the city just now is what Su Chen relies on.

Su Chen has one million taels of silver notes on him, of which 500,000 taels were just given to Xue Yong to buy Shenxing grass outside the city.

Su Chen put the other 500,000 taels on his body and walked into a prosperous commercial street in the imperial capital with the four girls.

Gu Qianyin and Li Shitong both put on veils when they came to such a crowded place. They were too beautiful and easy to cause trouble.

As for Gu Qianxue and Huang Ying'er, one was too young and the other looked relatively not so evil, so it didn't matter.

"Su Chen, what are we doing in the commercial street?"

Gu Qianyin asked.

"Buy a store."

Su Chen smiled and said.

"We want to open a store?"

Gu Qianyin suddenly became interested, "In that case, we have to choose a better location. I think the intersection in front is good. The traffic at the intersection must be large. There are also shops facing the street..."

"Consider the cost first. We only have 500,000 taels now." Su Chen's words dampened Gu Qianyin's enthusiasm.

The group selected several shops on the street. When they went in and asked, they found that if they wanted to buy a shop facing the street, they would start at at least 3 million taels. Moreover, even if it was 3 million taels, the other party had an attitude of being rich and generous and willing to sell or not.

After this round of walking, Gu Qianyin couldn't help but feel discouraged: "I didn't expect that there are so many rich people in the imperial capital who don't take money seriously. Three million taels, in Anyang County, is equivalent to all the property of a large family, but in the imperial capital, it can only buy a store."

"Stores facing the street are indeed too expensive."

Su Chen said, and several people turned into a small alley next to it. This alley is also full of stores, but the location is much worse than the stores facing the street, and the flow of people is much smaller.

After walking a few steps forward, I suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from one of the stores.

"If you push me again, I'll fight you."

"Hehe... cousin, don't be anxious? I love you so much, how could I push you? I see you are in charge of such a big chamber of commerce, I am afraid you will be tired, so I want to help you, right? As long as you transfer the store to me..."

"Don't say it, it's absolutely impossible! Rongxian Chamber of Commerce is the life's work of father and mother, I will never transfer it to you! Don't even think about it!"

The quarrel came from a store of considerable size. The plaque of "Rongxian Chamber of Commerce" was hung at the door of the store, but it was half smashed, and the two stone lions at the door were also smashed to pieces. There was no one in front of the store door.

Gu Qianxue stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Brother Chen, this store seems to be being smashed."

"Let's go in and take a look."

Su Chen took the four girls directly, pushed open the half-closed door, and walked inside.

In the lobby, two groups of people were confronting each other. One of the groups was a group of ferocious servants, surrounding a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties dressed in fancy clothes, and a young man in his twenties.

The other group was a group of unarmed men, also surrounding a person, but it was a slender girl, whose hairpins and rings were messy but could not hide her delicate appearance, with eyebrows like crescent moons, beautiful features, and a pair of sharp eyes staring at the people opposite with hatred.

The young man laughed: "Cousin, just listen to me and transfer the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce to me. Just imagine how a weak woman like you can manage such a large chamber of commerce? You hand over the chamber of commerce to me, and then marry me, and be a young lady at home comfortably, isn't it better?"

"Shut up, don't even think about it!"

The girl said in hatred, "How can you be called cousin and uncle if you behave like this? When my father and mother were still alive, they helped you a lot. What you eat, wear and use, which one is not bought with our family's money? We helped you become a wealthy family."

"Now that our family is in trouble, you are the first to take advantage of the situation and want to take away our Chamber of Commerce! The saying "a little bit of kindness, a big bit of hatred" refers to people like you!"

Su Chen couldn't help but look at the girl again after hearing this. He saw that the girl had a gentle temperament and was obviously well-read, but at this moment, she was so angry that her cheeks were a little red and her chest was constantly rising and falling.

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man who had been silent just now snorted in displeasure, "Do you think you have grown wings and dare to disobey the words of an elder like me?"

Then the middle-aged man waved his hand and ordered the servants around him: "Keep smashing until she hands over the land deed and house deed of the Chamber of Commerce."

The servants responded loudly and swung the tools in their hands to start smashing.

"Is there no law in this imperial capital? In broad daylight, they smashed the store openly and no one cares?"

Su Chen said, and immediately everyone present stopped and turned to look at him.

The two sides quarreled fiercely just now, so no one noticed that Su Chen and his group came in from the gate until now.

"Where did you come from, wild boy, get out, it's not your turn to take care of things here."

The young man said to Su Chen viciously.

"What if I don't get out?"

Su Chen said lightly.

"Boy, I warn you again--"
