Chapter 158
"Hmph!"
Colin glanced at him coldly and said, "According to the rules, since you are a master, you have to hand over 20 double-mystery upper-level artifacts to the Chamber of Commerce every year. You can only hand over more, not less. The artifacts you hand over more can be converted into contribution points for the Chamber of Commerce."
"Your workload is the same as other masters. But the difference is that you cannot stay in the headquarters building, and no one will give you orders, and no one will obey your orders."
"That's all I want to say. If you understand, leave consciously. Only the backbone and senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce can enter the headquarters building. Since you voluntarily give up your position, there is no place for you here."
After that, Colin left with a wave of his sleeves.
He no longer paid any attention to Fang Qingyan.
He was going to ask to see the president and accuse this ungrateful kid... It was too annoying!
"...Why are you so angry?"
Fang Qingyan curled his lips and left Elder Colin's temple with his hands behind his back.
He reached the first floor and walked out of the door.
"Mr. Fang! Mr. Fang!"
A surprised shout came from my ear.
Turning around, it turned out to be Burton, who had been waiting at the door, waiting for Fang Qingyan to come out.
"Oh~ You've been promoted, the new badge is so beautiful, congratulations."
Fang Qingyan's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes fell on the new badge hanging on the edge of Burton's sleeve, which symbolized the first-level steward, and he teased.
Burton rubbed his hands and smiled: "Thanks to you, if I hadn't met Mr. Fang, I would never have the opportunity to step into the door of the headquarters in my life!"
While speaking, he was also looking at Fang Qingyan, his expression showing doubt: "Where is your elder badge? Why don't you take it out and wear it?"
The seven elders of the Chamber of Commerce are all masters.
So Burton subconsciously thought that Elder Colin had appointed Mr. Fang as an elder.
Fang Qingyan blinked when he heard this: "No."
"How can there be no? Oh, I understand!"
Burton was startled at first, then he remembered something and smiled happily again, "You have been appointed as the twelfth-level steward, right? It's okay, Mr. Fang, because you have just joined, and it is not enough to convince the crowd if you are directly promoted to elder. Wait until you have some experience, and you will definitely be promoted to the position of elder!"
You understand again?
You know nothing!
Fang Qingyan couldn't help rolling his eyes and said to him directly: "I refused the position granted by the elder. Now I am an unemployed vagrant and was driven out of the headquarters. Do you understand?"
After that, he didn't care about the petrified Burton, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
It took five seconds for Burton to react and showed an extremely shocked look.
He hurriedly trotted to catch up with Fang Qingyan...
"Mr. Fang, why did you refuse?"
"No reason." Fang Qingyan said lightly.
Burton advised earnestly: "Without a position, you will not enjoy the preferential treatment of other masters, and you will not be respected by everyone. You will be marginalized or even forgotten... What a loss!" Fang Qingyan's mouth curled up: "Not a loss." "Why not? It's a loss! You should have the highest status and power, and be admired by thousands of people." Burton cried and muttered, "Now it's good, nothing is left." Fang Qingyan shook his head when he saw him like this. Those who don't know me can't tell me what I want. He has a system and no shortage of resources. All he needs is a quiet and safe place to live without being disturbed. Marginalized? What he wants is to be forgotten. While enjoying power and status, he also has to deal with people, which is easy to cause trouble. And when no one disturbs him and he is alone, he will naturally not make enemies with others. While quietly practicing and becoming stronger. While investigating the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce blood clan... Headquarters building, top floor. Elder Colin knelt on one knee in front of the temple gate, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and reported everything to Qin.
"Oh? Does he have no dreams?"
Qin was also surprised after listening to it. Her voice, which sounded like fairy music, showed emotional ups and downs. She asked, "Are you sure he really doesn't care about power and fame? Or is he deliberately fishing for better treatment?"
"I'm 100% sure! This kid doesn't just have no dreams? He is simply a salted fish, and he is unruly and hard to train, and his wildness is too strong!" Elder Colin said angrily, "I think he just doesn't want to be controlled by us, so he took the initiative to refuse all positions. I am so angry! I have driven him out of the headquarters and let him fend for himself."
"Colin, you are so old, why are you still angry with a junior?" Qin chuckled, her voice melodious, "Since he wants freedom, Then give him freedom, as he wishes. "
Colin was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard her say:
"But... freedom has a price."
"Colin, pass on my order, Fang Qingyan is the guest of the Chamber of Commerce, and in addition, a gift must be given to a new master who has just joined the Chamber of Commerce. I don't want to hear that our World Chamber of Commerce is mean and stingy."
Qin's voice was as beautiful as fairy music, and she ordered Colin, "Give him the [Eastern Wilderness] super large world of the Eastern Universe."
"President..."
Colin's expression became a little weird, "The Eastern Wilderness world has an owner, and you want me to put it under the name of that kid?"
"I said, freedom has a price." Qin chuckled and said, "He can't escape from my palm, he will surrender to me sooner or later!"
Colin heard this and showed a look of sudden enlightenment. His rigid face showed a rare smile.
He bowed respectfully: "Then I'll take my leave.".
Chapter 169
Fang Qingyan refused the position of the Chamber of Commerce, which made Elder Colin very embarrassed.
He angered the elder and was driven out of the headquarters building.
Fang Qingyan strolled calmly, and Burton had not left yet. He was still following him and persuading him earnestly.
I hope he can change his mind.
"Go back and apologize to Elder Colin, Mr. Fang."
Burton sighed, "It's not worth it, it's really not worth it! No matter from which angle you look at it, you are losing a lot!"
Rejected the position.
Even the lowest-level stewards would not respect Fang Qingyan.
As a great master of engraving, no matter where he goes or which force he joins, he will be highly worshipped.
But Fang Qingyan now has no power, no status, and is alone in the Chamber of Commerce...
Burton is a shrewd businessman. He will weigh the pros and cons of every matter and calculate the gains and losses of every choice.
So he can't understand Fang Qingyan's choice that is absolutely a loss and absolutely no benefit!
"You don't understand."
Fang Qingyan shook his head and said to him, "Don't follow me, go and do your own thing."
There are five universes in the Neleus plane.
Each universe has many worlds.
Each world runs a business.
He is now free and can continue to enjoy a peaceful and tranquil life by just finding a world to live in.
He will not be bullied by the gods here, and he doesn't have to look at the face of the gods.
It's peaceful and undisturbed.
Safety is also guaranteed!
Fang Qingyan is actually satisfied.
As long as he hands over 20 double-profound artifacts to the Chamber of Commerce every year, he can stay in the Neleus plane and enjoy a quiet life of cultivation.
"Alas..."
Burton saw him like this and immediately showed a helpless expression.
"Maybe Mr. Fang and I have different pursuits... I am just an ordinary person, fame, wealth, power, status, I want them all."
Burton smiled bitterly, bowed deeply to Fang Qingyan, and said respectfully, "No matter what, Mr. Fang, you are my noble man and benefactor. If I need anything in the future, I will do my best to repay you!"
Fang Qingyan nodded, and a smile appeared on his handsome face: "See you again if we are destined to meet."
...
After saying goodbye to Burton.
Fang Qingyan was about to leave the headquarters world, and suddenly a cold voice sounded in his mind-
"Come back first, I have something to talk to you, wait until I finish explaining it before you leave!"
It was Elder Colin.
Fang Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
Colin had just kicked him out of the headquarters, and then asked him to go back.
Obviously, it was not this rigid elder who changed his mind.
It was the intention of the mysterious female president.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned back and flew towards the headquarters building again.
...
Headquarters building, ninety-ninth floor
The spacious temple, the expressionless Great Elder Colin.
Familiar place, familiar people.
Fang Qingyan bowed slightly: "Meet the Great Elder, is there anything else you want to talk to me about¨`?"
Colin glared at him unhappily, too lazy to argue with this kid.
He reached out and took out a golden badge from his bosom, threw it to him, and said lightly:
"I told the president that you took the initiative to refuse the position. She asked you to join the World Chamber of Commerce as a guest official. You are a master of engraving after all. The Chamber of Commerce cannot treat you harshly, otherwise you will be ridiculed by outsiders."
Fang Qingyan took the badge and frowned slightly and said, "Guest official?"
"The status of a guest official is the same as that of an elder, but without any real power. It is just a sinecure!"
Colin explained impatiently, "You have to take it even if you don't want it!"
Fang Qingyan could only shrug helplessly and pin the golden badge on his chest: "Anything else?"
"In addition, the president also gave you a meeting gift..."
"I haven't met her yet, right? What meeting gift?"
Fang Qingyan complained.
"Shut up! You still have the nerve to talk about this? You missed a good opportunity. You may never have the chance to see the president again in your life!"
Colin glared and shouted.
Fang Qingyan raised his eyebrows, as if he really wanted to see her.
