Jiangbei City is just a small city. Giving it to the Ning family will certainly suffer some losses for the temple, but it is not very big.

However, this move can gain Ning Lan's favor. In the long run, it is likely that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Ouyang Shaoji's eyes flashed and he said, "I think the proposal of the Lord Zheng Ziteng is very good. Give Jiangbei City directly to the Ning family. As long as the Lord Ning Lan is here, the Ning family may develop into a very powerful family force in the future."

"Everyone, it's much easier for us to establish a good relationship with the Ning family before it has developed, than to wait until they have become stronger and then establish a good relationship."

"So, I agree with the opinions of Lord Zheng Ziteng."

Lan Jiuyuan nodded and said, "I also support giving Jiangbei City to the Ning family as their private territory."

The third hall master Meng Yuhui chuckled and said, "Losing a Jiangbei City is not harmful to the temple. What's more, even if Jiangbei City becomes the territory of the Ning family, it is still in our county. Through the attitude of the Ning Lan Palace Master, it can be seen that even if the Ning family becomes strong, it will still maintain the authority of our temple."

The fourth hall master and the fifth hall master also expressed their agreement.

Ouyang Shaoji waved his hand and said, "It's decided that he will immediately remove Ji Yanjun from his position as the city lord. As for the future management of Jiangbei City, let's leave it to the Ning family to make the decision."

The hall masters nodded one after another.

...

Jiangbei City, the city lord's mansion.

Today's city lord's mansion is particularly lively.

The city lord Ji Yanjun invited a large number of celebrities in the city, including the patriarchs of the big clan, the heads of major forces, the heads of commercial institutions, etc.

Ji Yanjun invited these big names in Jiangbei City.

Of course, the Ning family is not among the invitations.

This new city lord is obviously quite afraid of Ning Lan.

Yesterday, Ning Lan came to the city lord's mansion to find him, and today he held a banquet to entertain many influential figures in the city.

The reason is very simple. He wants to build a circle to fight against the Ning family, or against Ning Lan.

In his heart, he was indeed worried that Ning Lan would cause trouble for him through some relationships.

His purpose is to isolate the Ning family and hinder the normal development of the Ning family.

In the main hall.

Su Youhen, the head of the Su family, picked up the wine glass and stood up from the seat.

He looked at Ji Yanjun and said loudly: "Mr. City Lord, on behalf of the Su family, I would like to thank you for your great contribution to the development of this city. Here I would like to wish you a cup."

As he said that, he drank the wine in his glass in one go.

The Su family is also one of the great clans in Jiangbei City. Before the Ning family rose, the Su family, Ning family, Zhu family and Liu family were called the four major clans in Jiangbei City.

But now, the pattern of the large clan in Jiangbei City has obviously changed.

The Ning family is undoubtedly the strongest family, followed by the Zhu family, Ning family and Liu family.

These three families, watching the Ning family continue to rise and grow, are of course jealous, but they can only watch the Ning family become stronger and stronger.

Ji Yanjun took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "President Su is so polite. Since I have served as the lord of Jiangbei City, I should do my best to develop and grow the city."

Zhu Yang, the head of the Zhu family, also stood up and said, "Although the city lord has not been here for a long time, since the city lord arrived, our Jiangbei City has undergone new changes every day. It can be said that it is prosperous, full of vitality and vitality."

Ji Yanjun looked at Zhu Yang's patriarch and laughed and said, "Captain Zhu is so serious. This is the result of everyone's efforts, not my personal contribution."

During the meal, there was a lot of fun.

Ji Yanjun suddenly set his eyes on a middle-aged man wearing dark gold clothes.

This middle-aged man was also one of the people whom the city lord Ji Yanjun cared the most and paid attention to it in the audience.

He is Xu Shu, vice president of the Jiangbeicheng Branch of the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Shu was originally the head of the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce headquarters, responsible for the project of establishing a branch in Jiangbeicheng. He should have served as the president of the branch, but later because of Ning Lan, the president Lu Hai decided to let the Ning family serve as the president of the Jiangbeicheng branch, and Xu Shu was the vice president to take action.

At the beginning, Xu Shu was actually a little resistant. To be honest, he didn't look down on a small town family like the Ning family.

However, as time goes by, his mentality has also changed step by step. By now, he has completely adapted to his position.

The Jiangbeicheng Branch has developed very rapidly under the leadership of the Ning family. Although Xu Shu is only the branch president, his status at the headquarters has also risen.

Ji Yanjun looked at Xu Shu and said, "President Xu Shu, I'll give you a cup. If the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce had not established a branch in Jiangbei City, Jiangbei City would not have developed so rapidly."

What he values ​​is naturally not Xu Shu, but the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce behind Xu Shu.

Xu Shu stood up, smiled and took a sip of wine.

Then he said: "Mr. City Lord, I am the vice president of Jiangbei City Branch, not the president. The president of our branch is Ning Qufeng."

Immediately afterwards, he showed a puzzled expression and said, "Master Lord, I have a small question. Why didn't you invite President Ning Qufeng to hold a banquet today?"

Ji Yanjun's eyes trembled.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see today's banquet.

The city lord invited almost all the big figures with strong influence in Jiangbei City, but no Ning family members attended the banquet.

why is that?

Everyone knew it well, but they didn't say it out loud.

How could a person like Xu Shu really not understand? He asked this, obviously on purpose.

Therefore, Ji Yanjun's face was a little less beautiful.

His expression stiffened for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Ning Qufeng is the patriarch of the Ning family. The Ning family is obviously a very unstable factor in our Jiangbei City."

"Everyone should know very well how the previous city lord Hu Yuanshan died, right? The Ning family's enemies are from Shenzhou and are very powerful. These people may come to Jiangbei City again at any time."

He turned his eyes to look around the audience and continued, "For everyone's safety and for the stability of Jiangbei City, I think it is a wise choice to draw a clear line with the Ning family as soon as possible."

He looked at Xu Shu again and narrowed his eyes and said, "Vice President Xu Shu, if Ning Qufeng continues to serve as the president of the Jiangbei City Branch of the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce, then it is very likely that it will bring unpredictable risks to the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce!"

Xu Shu smiled, he knew what Ji Yanjun wanted to express.

He shook his head and said, "The president of the branch was decided by our president, Lord Lu Hai. If there is really a problem, Lord Lu Hai will naturally make timely adjustments."

Ji Yanjun's eyes flashed and said, "Haha, Vice President Xu Shu said very well. I believe that President Lu Hai will definitely be able to see the risk factors in time."
