Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 809
Chapter 809 Heart Battle of the Smart (2)
When dealing with smart people, the most important principle is that you must read each other’s thoughts in the way smart people think.
For example, Pan Gaoyi was clearly a smart person to be able to hold the position of head shopkeeper in the Heavenly Trading Firm in the Eastern Corridor Imperial City.
As a smart person, when Pan Gaoyi saw Jiang Feng cleverly cut in line and then possessed the strength of the late Great Thousand Realm, many guesses would instantly arise in his heart.
Pan Gaoyi thought to himself that a late Great Thousand Realm expert would never come to Heavenly Trading Firm to apply for an ordinary errand boy.
Therefore, Jiang Feng’s identity was bound to contain mysteries.
Immediately after, Pan Gaoyi would smoothly complete the chapter, connecting Jiang Feng with the “two billion” business that had just descended from the sky.
Once Pan Gaoyi connected Jiang Feng to this big business, he would assume that Jiang Feng would be the person sent by Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain to supervise the entire business.
Pan Gaoyi’s guess was exactly what Jiang Feng wanted.
What was Jiang Feng’s purpose in sneaking into Tianxing Trading Firm? Simple. He wanted to find out exactly where the millions of people he was preparing for Chu Tianxing’s business activities were.
Jiang Feng had to look at these people all the time because Jiang Feng was used to holding everything in his hands.
If Jiang Feng had only sneaked into the Heavenly Trading Firm to work as an ordinary errand boy, then he would definitely not be able to get in touch with the millions of people he had prepared for the Heavenly Trading Firm.
The most effective and suitable method to achieve Jiang Feng’s goal was the one in front of him.
Jiang Feng knew that as long as Pan Gaoyi guessed that he was from Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain, he wouldn’t mind Jiang Feng sneaking into the Heavenly Trading Firm to contact the people he had prepared for Jiang Feng.
Pan Gaoyi didn’t mind for three reasons.
First, Pan Gaoyi was a smart person, so he would do the same if he chose to.
Second, Pan Gaoyi definitely wanted to complete this business, so having the other party’s people involved would be beneficial for him to show his abilities and sincerity to the other party.
Third, Pan Gaoyi naturally hoped to be able to get in touch with the other party’s people at any time. The other party was obviously intentionally hiding his identity, so Pan Gaoyi was happy to let Jiang Feng participate. This way, he could borrow Jiang Feng’s help to convey all the information he wanted to convey to the other party.
This was a heart-to-heart battle between smart people. It was like a chess match between experts. Perhaps, as an expert, Pan Gaoyi had already thought of a few moves ahead of time. However, he did not expect that the entire game of chess had actually been laid out by Jiang Feng from the very beginning.
In Jiang Feng’s plan, even the few moves that Pan Gaoyi could think of in advance were included in his plan.
The people sent downstairs by Pan Gaoyi came back very quickly. He had obtained Jiang Feng’s registered identity information.
After receiving it, Pan Gaoyi glanced at it roughly. The identity information Jiang Feng had given was in order, and it didn’t seem to have any flaws on the surface.
However, Pan Gaoyi smiled contemptuously in less than a second. He noticed that Jiang Feng’s ID said that he was 109 years old, from Zisheng Aozhou, Xuanyuan Imperial Region.
However, the truth was that Zisheng Aozhou had been destroyed 130 years ago because of the Primordial Chaos Beast Tide. Hopefully, the famous Aozhou Archipelago in the Xuanyuan Imperial Region would no longer exist today.
After discovering this loophole, Pan Gaoyi smiled and shook his head. He was even more certain that Jiang Feng was someone sent by Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain.
After thinking for a while, Pan Gaoyi instructed the subordinates beside him, “Pass down the order and take this’ Jiang Hanfeng ‘away. Then, send him to the mine and arrange a position for the steward.”
“Little steward?” The subordinate standing beside Pan Gaoyi was stunned.
The mine that Pan Gaoyi spoke of was not far from the Imperial City of the Eastern Corridor. The most famous place in Mount Taishi was the Black Gold Magic Steel Stones. This was also the stone used to build the city walls in Jiang’s Country.
This Black Gold Magic Steel Stone had many uses. Apart from being used to build city walls, it was also used to forge Primordial Chaos Spirit Artifacts.
However, Black Gold Magic Steel Stones were not rare stones in the Primordial Chaos Realm. They were produced in many places, so their value was not high.
However, the situation was different for Sky Trading Firm, which used large numbers of refugees to mine ores.
The combination of low costs and high output is also valuable.
The Tai Shi Immortal Mountain mine of the Heavenly Trading Firm was very large. Although the slaves inside were buying and selling at any time, there were no fewer than a million of them when the number was the lowest.
With so many slaves in charge, they were all servants of the Heavenly Trading Firm. The steward was the leader of the servants.
On the other side of the Taishi Immortal Mountain Mine, a small steward was no different from a feudal official. It was no wonder that Pan Gaoyi, a subordinate, was surprised that Jiang Feng, a newly recruited member of the Heaven Trading Firm, had obtained such a position without any merit.
Seeing that his subordinate did not respond, Pan Gaoyi immediately turned to look at him and said, “What? Do you have any questions?”
“This subordinate does not dare.”
Pan Gaoyi’s subordinates were shocked and immediately retreated to do their work, not daring to say anything else.
As Jiang Feng had expected, he successfully passed all the tests of the Heavenly Trading Firm and got the position of a small steward.
That night, the Sky Trading Firm began to assign jobs to all the rookies.
Jiang Feng was unsurprisingly assigned to the Tai Shi Immortal Mountain Mine, along with 200 rookies. However, these two hundred rookies were all working as supervisors. This supervisor was also called an errand boy.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Trading Firm, rookies had to study with the old man for a period of time before entering the firm. However, recently, the Heavenly Trading Firm had a serious shortage of manpower, so they could only let these rookies take up their posts first and learn while doing.
After the job assignment ended, a middle-aged man walked up to Jiang Feng and asked kindly, “Brother Jiang Hanfeng, may I ask?”
“Yes, may I ask who you are?”
On the surface, Jiang Feng pretended not to know anything, but in reality, he had already recognized this middle-aged man as Pan Gaoyi!
Although Pan Gaoyi had changed his appearance and physique, he could not change his aura.
During the day, Jiang Feng had already noticed that Pan Gaoyi was secretly spying on him, so he had already memorized Pan Gaoyi’s aura.
Therefore, no matter what kind of appearance Pan Gaoyi appeared in front of Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng would be able to recognize him at a glance.
Unless Pan Gaoyi was in the Domain of Chaos, Jiang Feng might not be able to sense Pan Gaoyi’s aura.
Pan Gaoyi was a middle-aged man with a medium build and a thin body. However, the current Pan Gaoyi looked taller and sturdier, as if he was a reckless martial artist.
Such an image was easily trusted by strangers, so it could be seen from this that Pan Gaoyi had some skill.
Facing Jiang Feng’s question, Pan Gaoyi smiled and said, “My surname is Wang. In Wang Datian, you can call me Brother Datian in the future. I am also the steward of the Taishi Immortal Mountain Mine. I have been instructed to take care of you, so if you don’t understand anything, just ask me.”
Jiang Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard Pan Gaoyi’s words. He hurriedly nodded and said, “In the future, I’ll be under Brother Datian’s care. Brother Datian, when are we going to the Taishi Immortal Mountain Mine?”
“Let’s go now. The ship is already waiting on the canal. We’ll set off after we receive the uniform clothing and token of the comptoir. Let’s go, we’ll go to the warehouse to collect our things.”
“Alright, thank you, Brother Datian.”
Jiang Feng said as he prepared to leave with Pan Gaoyi. Pan Gaoyi took two steps and stopped. He looked at Jiang Feng and asked with a smile, “Brother Jiang, have you forgotten something?”
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment and looked confused, “No?”
Pan Gaoyi turned around and pointed at the two hundred rookies standing in a square formation at the corner of the hall of the Qun Ying Guild Hall.
“Brother Jiang, you forgot about your subordinates. If you want clothes and tokens, they will also get them.”
“Aiya … look at my brain.” Jiang Feng patted his head and waved to the two hundred rookies standing in the corner, “Come, come with me!”
Two hundred rookies immediately rushed over. Jiang Feng frowned when he saw their messy mess. He shouted in a low voice, “Don’t you know anything about the rules? Two people in a group, line up. The shorter one is behind, the taller one is standing in front.”
Jiang Feng said these words very skillfully, as if he had subconsciously said them. After he said those words, Pan Gaoyi’s lips curled into a smile.
The two of them formed a group and marched forward. This was clearly the formation of the regular army.
However, most of the troops were short in front and tall in the back. The only difference was that it was the Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain.
Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain’s army had a formation called the Shield Formation. The secret of this formation was for a tall soldier to hold a shield and walk in front of the group. Then, a short soldier held a spear and stabbed forward through the gap between the shields.
This shield formation was simple and brainless, but it was extremely effective. In order for the army to set up this formation as quickly as possible, Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain had always required a high-ranking soldier to walk in front.
Pan Gaoyi calmly took Jiang Feng and the others to the warehouse on the second floor of the Hero Guild Hall to collect the items.
After receiving the items, Pan Gaoyi said to Jiang Feng, “Alright, Brother Jiang, let’s go to the mine now.”
“Sure, I’ll have to trouble Brother Datian to take care of it.”
Jiang Feng and Pan Gaoyi brought the two hundred rookies out of the Hall of Heroes.
At this moment, it was dark night. The moon in the sky was bright and bright, and the stars flickered.
Jiang Feng and Pan Gaoyi chatted as they walked in the direction of the canal. Suddenly, a red light rose in the sky. Jiang Feng and Pan Gaoyi stopped at the same time and looked up at the sky.
The red light that filled the sky came from a red pillar of light in the east. Jiang Feng frowned as soon as he saw the red pillar of light.
He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, “Xuanyuan Diji, you’re back after all.”
