Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Master Xun on the side gently stroked his beard and said: "Young friend Ye are coming to Confucianism for business. Since we are old friends, you will be responsible for hosting them these days!"

"Yes, uncle!"

Yan Lu responded respectfully, and then took Ye Zhang away from here and came to an elegant pavilion.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Ye Zhang couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He almost didn't recognize it. Compared with the child of the past, although the road today is still green, his handsome face has gained a bit of calmness and calmness. He is no longer the child he was back then.

Yan Lu slightly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zaoye is here. I should go and greet him. Please forgive me for any loss of etiquette."

Hearing this, Ye Zhang chuckled and said, "We haven't seen each other for several years, why have we become so polite?"

Yan Lu also showed a smile: "After all, this is the Little Sage Village, and I am also a Confucian disciple, so I naturally have to act according to etiquette."

Ye Zhang nodded: "It doesn't matter. Now that you have grown up, you will naturally have your own ideas. I wonder how you have been doing these past few years?"

"I have a hard time to worry about, and everyone treats me well."

Yan Lu spoke in an unhurried and unhurried manner. Not only did he have the air of a gentleman, but he also had a calmness and ease similar to Wuming.

Then he continued to ask: "Brother Ye, what is the important matter for coming to Confucianism this time? If you can use it, please give me your instructions."

Ye Zhang replied: "I have established a trading company, and I hope that Confucianism will also join in for mutual benefit. It would be great if you can also support me."

"If it is beneficial to both parties, I will definitely do my best to promote this matter."

Yan Lu smiled and replied, but at this moment, he saw a figure coming from not far away.

This man looked to be in his twenties, dressed like a Confucian scholar, with stern eyebrows and sharp eyes, well-dressed, and a somewhat serious look on his handsome face.

The light blue Confucian robe was kept spotless, and every move exuded the elegance unique to scholars.

"Junior brother is here too."

When he came to the two of them, he first said hello to Yan Lu, then looked at Ye Zang and slightly cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Ye, I haven't seen you for several years, how are you?"

"It's been a long time indeed."

Ye Zhang replied with a faint smile: "I haven't congratulated Brother Fu Nian yet. He will soon become the new head of the Confucian School."

After hearing this, Fu Nian looked gloomy and said slightly depressed: "If possible, I would rather remain just the teacher's disciple for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Ye Zhang said: "Everything in this world has its own destiny, so please be at ease."

Fu Nian calmed down and then continued: "Uncle Xun told me about Mr. Ye's proposal, but there are some issues that I still don't understand very well. Can you please elaborate on it?"

Ye Zhang nodded and continued: "Of course, I want to take the relationship between Tianyuan Trading Company and Confucianism further and form an alliance-like existence.

Then a shareholders' meeting will be established, and all shareholders will make joint decisions on some major issues."

"shareholder?"

Fu Nian's face changed, and he didn't quite understand this novel statement.

Ye Zhang explained: "The so-called shareholders refer to the person in charge of the commercial bank. Confucianists can use various assets to invest in shares. The more shares they own, the greater their power."

Fu Nian is also a smart person, and after hearing this answer, he felt a lot clearer. The so-called shareholders are also divided into levels. The greater the investment, the greater the return.

However, with his current position, it is absolutely impossible to overwhelm the entire sect. Even if it is feasible, it can only expand itself with a certain amount of investment.

In other words, the main focus is on profit and stable development, rather than competing for rights. After all, Confucianism is the real foundation.

Then he asked: "If I join a trading company, will it have any impact on the current status of Confucianism?"

Ye Zhang replied: "Of course not. Even shareholders can only decide external matters and the general development direction of the company in the future. As for the governance of each family, they can still do what they want, and others cannot interfere."

Fu Nian nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then continued to ask: "From what Uncle Xun said, Mr. Ye also plans to let the Mo family and the Nong family become shareholders?"

"Exactly, after all, more people means more power."

Ye Zhang replied.

"Every school of thought has its own way. If we get together, trouble may arise."

Fu Nian expressed his worries.

Regarding this issue, Ye Zhang only gave four words: seek common ground while reserving differences!

Everyone comes together to make a profit, not to create conflicts. Avoid all topics that are not related to the business, and only keep common interests.

After receiving such a reply, Fu Nian also made a rough judgment in his mind, but he would not accept it easily because of his stable nature.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the former and said, "This matter is of great importance. Sir, please let me think about it carefully and give you an answer in two days, okay?"

Ye Zhang smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. I will stay in Songhai for some time and wait until Brother Fu Nian has the answer and let me know."

"Thank you."

Fu Nian nodded, then looked at Yan Lu and said, "Junior brother, I allow you to take a rest for two days and entertain Mr. Ye well."

"promise."

Yan Lu responded, naturally having no objection.

Seeing the former leaving, he chuckled and said, "Brother Ye, it's really thanks to you that I can have two days of leisure."

"Are you very nervous about your classes on weekdays?"

Ye Zhang asked.

"Master's teaching has always been strict, and I can only rest for about ten days a year."

Yan Lu said with a hint of bitterness.

"Strict teachers produce great disciples, and you will be the second head of Little Saint Xian Manor in the future!"

Ye Zhang said with a chuckle.

Yan Lu quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Ye, please stop teasing me. There are so many outstanding brothers and sisters, how can I get my turn? As long as I can have a stable life, I will be satisfied."

Ye Zhang smiled and didn't say much. The two of them just chatted like this until the evening approached before the former left...

Yan Lu politely sent Ye Zhang away from the villa, then returned to his house and closed the door behind him.

He walked to a cabinet and opened the secret lock. There was a black package placed on the wooden cabinet. He looked at it carefully and then reached out and took it out.

He picked up the package and placed it on a table in the room. He slowly opened it, and then he saw a golden copper box appearing in front of his eyes.

This is the treasure that countless people are fighting for, and it is said that the secret of Canglong Qisu is hidden in it.

However, he is not too interested in this legendary power that can change the world, and he is not in the mood to participate in the competition between various forces.

However, sometimes a person's destiny is not within his control. Perhaps he was drawn into the whirlpool from the moment he came into contact with this copper box.
