Everyone had heard of this news before they came. Although they were not surprised when they heard this, they were also very excited. Many talents looked like they were determined to win.

President Lin said slowly: "The emperor was satisfied with the performance of our Hangzhou Imperial Merchants, and specially gave such a great reward. General Manager Gao personally sent it to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. He also informed the additional benefits brought by Yu Ruyi.

"It would be a pity if such a good thing is placed in the chamber of commerce and cannot play its role. But there is only one good thing, and we cannot let Yu Ruyi be stored in your house for a few days, and then in his house for a few days. Because of the status brought by Yu Ruyi, whoever gets this jade Ruyi will always be placed in whose house. The rewards of the emperor and the great glory can be passed down as a family heirloom."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Then a young man asked anxiously, "We understand what President Lin means. But Yu Ruyi only has one hand, so how should we distribute it? What standards and principles should President Lin decide the ownership of Yu Ruyi?"

"This is exactly what I want to say." President Lin smiled kindly like Maitreya Buddha, waved his hand to signal the man to sit down, and said gently: "Everyone has seen it. Most of the people invited to come today are young people."

Everyone looked around and nodded.

President Lin said: "The future of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce must be in the hands of the younger generation, and of course good opportunities must be left to young people. Of course, the gifts of imperial gifts cannot be given to one person at will. We must compete fairly and let the best one hold on to the best, so that the best person can live up to the gifts of the emperor."

Someone whispered: "What President Lin means is to test us?"

"That's right." President Lin nodded, "But we don't plan to set questions this time. Since there is a problem, there is a possibility of missing questions. We don't vote. Since there is a vote, there is a possibility of making connections. We must be cautious when dealing with the gifts of the imperial gifts. So this time, after discussions between us a few old guys, we decided to take the most fair and practical method."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youning held his chin and looked up at the head with interest.

It’s not because she has a dark mentality. If there are really fair and practical solutions in places like the Chamber of Commerce where businesses gather interests first, that would be really strange.

The people below began to talk, and the buzzing discussion became louder and louder.

President Lin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said, "Don't be anxious, after I heard from me, everyone will understand."

When he calmed down again, President Lin said: "More than three months ago, a major event happened in our Hangzhou Prefecture. I believe everyone living near Fuyang knows it clearly. His Highness the Sixth Prince brought people to a mountain in Fuyang County. The kidnappers tied up His Highness the Sixth Prince to a mountain in Fuyang County. Although the Sixth Prince returned safely in the end. He did not make any more blame, but the mountain where the kidnapper fled and the surrounding mountain roads were martial law. Now no one is allowed to pass."

Zhu Youning knew about this.

Li Luo had such a big deal, and when he came back, his legs were so scared that he felt weak. He hurriedly led the people who came with him to leave Fuyang with his illness.

The emperor had only one son. After traveling, he was kidnapped and threatened by someone in Fuyang. After that, someone immediately blocked all the mountains he was hunting at that time, and he had to continue to investigate the origin of Ma Yicheng.

President Lin said: "So far, it has been three months since those mountains were blocked, which has caused many of our merchants to interrupt the contact between Linshan County behind the mountain. Any transportation of timber, minerals, etc. that needs to pass through roads near those mountains has also stagnated.

"The most important thing is that Linshan County is a transportation hub. When goods originally transported from other places arrive in Linshan County, they will be Fuyang after a mountain. There is also a wharf in Fuyang, and the goods can be transported directly to Hangzhou and other places. But now the mountain roads are closed, and if the goods are to be transported to Hangzhou, they have to go around a large circle to find the wharf. This invisibly increases the transportation cost, which causes great inconvenience to our business.

"Now I'm telling this matter is to brainstorm. If anyone can unseal the mountains and forests here and prove that the matter was done by himself, it will be enough to prove that this person's ability is enough to have this jade Ruyi."

Speaking of this, President Lin stood up and said in high spirits: "Those who can accomplish this can not only have the identity behind Yu Ruyi, but also serve as the honorary president of our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce forever."

Now everyone understood why President Lin just mentioned the honorary president.

What a difficult thing this is, it goes without saying.

The emperor was thin, and he was just a son who had gone on his way, and he felt as painful as a treasure. However, after a trip, he encountered a kidnapper who was robbed into the mountains. He was frightened and injured. According to the thoughts of those trembling ministers, blocking a few mountains was not enough to offset the impact of that incident. If the emperor's anger could be erased, blood sacrifices for several people would be done.

Zhu Youning didn't know what others were doing. Anyway, when she heard the conditions proposed by President Lin, she immediately felt that she and Yu Ruyi were afraid they would be out of fate.

Those who blocked the mountains and forests were not just arranged by the yamen, but also local officers and soldiers. It was even more difficult for those involved in the army to act.

Zhu Youning had no money to bribe and had no connections, so it was quite difficult to do this.

However, Zhu Youning didn't feel discouraged. Although she wanted the benefits behind Yu Ruyi, she also knew that she would be able to get her own weight. If she couldn't afford it, she wouldn't be able to hold on if she fought for it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youning completely relaxed and observed the reactions of the people around him leisurely.

Some people whispered that this demand was unfair, and some people smiled leisurely and confidently like the eldest lady of the Cheng family. Yan Sui looked as usual. Zhu Youning could not see his emotions, nor could he guess his attitude towards this matter, so he simply didn't think much about it.

After President Lin finished speaking, he announced the end of the meeting.

Some of them chatted slowly with others, and some of them went out to find a relationship.

Zhu Youning was not in a hurry. He left the Cheng family house with Yan Sui, who was also not in a hurry. When they arrived at the door of the mansion, the two saluted each other and politely said a few words before saying goodbye.

When he returned to the Zhu family's mansion in Hangzhou, he was greeted by his son diligently as soon as he got off the car. The boy who was even more quick-legged had already run inside to pass the message.

In order to wait for news, Zhu Hualiang came back early today. Seeing Zhu Youning come back, he carefully inquired about the situation.

Zhu Youning said it carefully and spread his hands and said, "If it's something else, I can do my best to find a way, but this is too big for us."

Zhu Hualiang stood up, walked around the spot with his hands behind his back for several times, then frowned and said, "It's really too big. After Fuyang had that incident, he heard that even Magistrate Cai was removed from office and has now become County Magistrate Cai. I think he is a county magistrate, but he has no ability to mobilize officers and soldiers to block the two mountains."

"That's true." Zhu Youning said, "I also want to try my best to get the Jade Ruyi and add luster to my family. Unfortunately, I have limited abilities, no connections in the army, and no friends to be an official. I just rushed into the site circle so rashly, and I was worried that it would cause trouble for the Zhu family. It would be better to be more peaceful at this time."

Zhu Hualiang nodded and sighed: "The four words "self-knowledge" have always been the most heart-stirring thing."

Zhu Youning laughed, "But it's also a golden sentence for self-protection."

Zhu Hualiang thought about it and said, "Then you can rest. I will think about how to reply to the old man."

Zhu Youning stood up and said, "Yes, my niece took her leave."

Back in the bedroom of the living yard, Zhu Youning leaned on the couch with his pillow, staring at Cheng Chen above his head in a daze for a moment, feeling much better.

She has such great ability, and some things can't be done by working hard. Since Yu Ruyi has no chance, she will never force them, but she doesn't know that there are many good things to encounter in her life, and there is no need to fight for this matter.

Regardless of the situation in other people's family, Zhu Youning put down the big stone in his heart and life became more and more comfortable.

Just this time, Shiliu came with him, so Zhu Youning simply took him out for two days to go shopping, eating and playing, which made Shiliu very happy.

That day, I happened to be wandering outside and I got home. As soon as I arrived at the front of the mansion, I saw Butler Yan planning to leave.

Zhu Youning lifted the car curtain in surprise and leaned over and said, "Butler Yan?"

When Mr. Yan heard the sound, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Jiu, you are back. I came to find you, but it happened that you were not at home. I waited for a long time but didn't see you back. I'm about to go back."

Zhu Youning and Shiliu got out of the car on the stool and walked to Butler Yan and smiled, "I went out for a walk with my brother. Butler Yan came, but what's wrong with Mr. Yan?"

Butler Yan smiled and said, "It's true that my young master is looking for you, and there are important matters to discuss. I wonder if you have time to talk about it."

Zhu Youning thought for a while and said, "Okay, I have nothing else to do now. I have time. I don't know where Mr. Yan's appointment is?"

Butler Yan smiled and pointed to a spacious carriage parked on the corner of the street, "Please come here on Miss Zhu, my son is waiting in the car."

Zhu Youning looked back and saw the car curtain lifting up, and the jade-faced boy wearing light gray wide sleeves was smiling at her.

This guy smiled so well.

Zhu Youning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and turned around and told Shiliu that he would wait here for a while, and then went to the carriage with Butler Yan.

"Luckily I came back early, otherwise I would have lost you."

"Isn't that?" Yan Sui also smiled and said, "I originally thought that Miss Zhu must be thinking at home to solve the problem, but Miss Zhu didn't take this matter seriously."

Butler Yan put a stool for Zhu Youning and lifted the car curtain for her.

Yan Sui smiled and said, "If you don't dislike me, let's say a few words here."

"There is nothing to dislike, it's convenient, so as not to find a place to speak." Zhu Youning got into the car, sat at the door, put down the curtain, and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Yan looking for me?"

Yan Sui's back was straight and graceful. In the dimly lit carriage, his facial features were more three-dimensionally lined by the outline of the shadow.

"It's a good thing that I'm here to find you. You and I have a friend. For the sake of our friendship, I have some news to share with you."

Zhu Youning looked at Yan Sui in surprise and saw a smile on his handsome face that was so handsome that it was hard to draw. Apart from being gentle, people could not feel any other emotions.

Yan Sui did help her, which was equivalent to saving her life. She took the initiative to remind Yan Sui to repay her kindness, but she also received even greater news that she could avoid disaster. In fact, after all, although she owed Yan Sui's life-saving grace but had not yet been repayed, she had not made friends with Yan Sui to make friends.

Yu Ruyi is what they all want now. Although Yan Sui was invited to attend the meeting this time just to know about this, because he was from Guangzhou Prefecture and had no right to compete for Yu Ruyi, he had no obligation to tell her the news for nothing.

Looking at Yan Sui now, when he said that just now, it was like a smiling strange uncle asking her, "Little sister, do you want to eat candy."

Zhu Youning felt a little irritated, as if he had a hook on the back of the candy. As long as he had this mouthful of candy, he would take the hook.

Zhu Youning coughed, thinking that she would never take the bait, and said with a smile: "Then I want to thank you. What is the strange news?"

Yan Sui looked at Zhu Youning's little defensive appearance, as if she saw a soft and fluffy little white fox rolling in the snow, her fingers twitched twice, and almost touched her head again.

After coughing, Yan Sui said seriously: "Do you know why most of the people invited to this party were young people?"

"Didn't President Lin say that the future of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is to be in the hands of young people, and these good opportunities must be left to young people?"

Yan Sui smiled and shook her head, lowered her voice and said, "The Chamber of Commerce wants to choose one among young people, not to pave the way for young people. But because among young people, there is one person who urgently needs this Yu Ruyi to improve his wealth and gain a foothold."

Zhu Youning's mind flickered, and her long eyelashes flashed twice and said, "What are you talking about, Miss Cheng?"

"Smart." Yan Sui said, "Miss Cheng has come out early to make a fuss, but she is a female. Although she is not young, she is really not the highest status in this generation. Think about it again, what are the additional benefits Yu Ruyi brings?"

"The emperor said the emperor's words and words, and he wanted to give the ceremonial treatment of the earl level. Even if he didn't have a salary, it would be good. I think it's the honorary president mentioned by President Lin." Zhu Youning told the truth.

Yan Sui looked at Zhu Youning with admiration, and gave a thumbs up, saying, "You are right. Because Miss Cheng needs this identity. Mr. Cheng was the vice president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Now he is ill and has no chance to open up the scene for his daughter. Miss Cheng can inherit the family business, but cannot inherit his reputation outside, and it is even more impossible to inherit the position of vice president."
