Chapter 250: Chapter 222: Sophia’s Expansion (3K)_1
Trantor: 549690339
Lanxing, after more than a month, Mu Yuan once again stepped out of the vi’s front door.
He still returned to the Lanxing World from time to time, nced at the information on his phone, browsed the forums, but there was no need for him to step out of his house. Whether he was going to the yer’s Association to handle procedures, retrieve or send trade goods, or trade with other chambers ofmerce andpanies, Sophia handled it all very efficiently, which was a great relief for Mu Yuan.
Thest time he left his house was to register a yer’spany at the Baijang Association with Sophia.
Today, he had some free time, after the busy selection battles Mr. Mu also wanted to take a break, so he decided to visit hispany.
He hadn’t ever been there.
“Going by the address, it’s right next to the yer’s Association, on andmarkmercial building in Baijiang.”
“After the red fog warning and the emergence of the border regions, however,merce throughout Lanxing has declined significantly, and many merchants are looking to invest in properties in the Eternal World. Despite this decline, the Baijiang real estate market has seen a surge.”
Nowadays, leasing thendmark building in Baijiang is quite cheap, it’s likely that Sophia chose this ce because it is adjacent to the yer’s Association, making it much easier to conduct rted activities.
However, Mu Yuan didn’t hold high expectations for the scale of thepany.
After all, thepany he set up was almost a shell entity, it was only established to enjoy some policy benefits and facilitate the acquisition of Remnant Souls. Its purpose was not to berge and powerful.
…He couldn’t even if he wanted to.
How could he expand without money?
Even though hisbat power at the pinnacle of Tianyuan Territory was not much less than that of Lord Kong Ming and Lord Wuji, Mu Yuan was certain that when it came to wealth, he would be far behind them.
Such is the confidence of the poor.
Even now, when he purchases non-supernatural side items in Lanxing, he still relies on the monthly supplement of ten thousand dors provided by the Association. Selling the precious Soul Sand in exchange for currency in the Xuan Country, Mu Yuan felt reluctant.
He walked out of themunity on foot, waited for a while until the software was finished updating, and then opened the ride-hailing app.
After waiting for several tens of seconds, there were still no drivers who had responded to his hail.
He then looked towards the other side of the road, more than a hundred meters away, where a row of mint green shared bikes were parked. Many of the bikes had thickyers of dust, fallen leaves, and bird droppings smeared onto the seats, indicating that they were seldom used.
With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Mu Yuan gave up.
“Nevermind, I’ll just… run there instead. It will be much quicker than riding a bike or waiting for a taxi.”
He could always load the Rakshasa Temte and turn into a stream of brown mist to float along, or load the Duo Lai Temte to transform into a unique bird that could fly against the wind, reaching the city center in the blink of an eye.
But it would be a bit too startling.
While there was no longer any prohibition against ‘yers using supernatural powers in the real world in front of ordinary people’, disturbing public order was still not allowed. He was a low-profile person after all.
Mu Yuan swung his arms and stretched out his thighs. Then he started running at the peak speed of a professional runner.
He stopped at red lights.
He courteously yielded to cars and pedestrians.
He ran like the wind on the sidewalk.
Suddenly, an older runner passed him with even greater speed. This older runner wore windproof goggles, was dressed in simple sportswear, and had a phone clutched in his hand that was reporting his distance through a running app, looking every bit the veteran of the runningmunity.
Soon after, Mu Yuan arrived at the address given by Sophia.
It was adjacent to the yer’s Association and was quite bustling. There were many muscr figures present, exuding faint energy fluctuations. These were clearly yers.
Among them, there were mboyant yers with two Spearman following them.
Mu Yuan watched for a moment before entering the building.
Soon,
“I’ve arrived.”
There was a faint contractual link between the Lord and his troops, and since Mu Yuan had undergone the evolution ceremony with Sophia, at this moment, he could clearly sense that Sophia was just ahead.
The elevator doors slowly opened.
“Wee, boss, to ourpany.”
Not far away, Sophia was dressed in a ck business coat and a white undercoat, paired with ck fitted trousers. She wore a stylish belt that entuated her graceful figure.
She wore tall ck boots and her neatlybed hair was piled high on her head. Her exquisite figure didn’t need any makeup. Her eyes were bright and deep, exuding a strong aura.
She didn’t look like a powerful person from the Eternal World, but rather like a sessful businesswoman who had been working hard in the Lanxing World, a powerful corporate executive.
One must say, Sophia’s attire and her usual demeanor were quite different, he could hardly recognize her.
However, what surprised Mu Yuan most was not Sophia’s attire, but the crowd of people standing between him and Sophia, shouting in unison.
To the left, ten men dressed in ck suits, their hairbed neatly, all wearing ck sunsses.
To the right, ten women dressed in ck professional attire, paired with ck silk high heels, both with graceful bodies and capable momentum.
They all respectfully bowed and said, “Wee, boss, to ourpany.”
Mu Yuan:
Where had Sophia found all these extras?
However, the scale of thepany was evenrger than Mu Yuan had imagined. These ten ck-d, sunsses-wearing men and ten women in ck silk were not just temporary actors, they were only part of thepany’s employees.
“These are employees of the security department.”
Sophia pointed to the left-side row of burly men, dressed in ck suits, their bulging veins visible under their outfits.
“This is Captain Luo Wei. Captain Luo holds the rank of Royal Guard, and he also has several elite fighters at his disposal, making him a rare strong hand among yers.”
Sophia then introduced the woman standing at the front of the right-hand queue.
“This is Captain Lin Sushuang. Captain Lin holds the rank of Dark Night Elf and is also proficient inputer information technology, making her a very rare talent.”
In fact, without Sophia’s introduction, Mu Yuan could roughly gauge these people’s strengths and even their professional ranks with their faces, muscles, strides, and breath.
For example, Captain Lin Sushuang, who has a rather cold demeanor, ears that were somewhat pointed and long beneath her hair… Mu Yuan had seen and even killed many dark night elves monsters before, so he could basically identify them at a nce.
The problem wasn’t that, the problem was…
Where did you find this level of employee? No, how could you afford to hire them?
“Well, this is ourpany’s big boss, you two have been wanting to see the face of the boss, haven’t you?”
Luo Wei had been specting about the big boss of thepany.
He had guessed many possibilities.
For example, thepany didn’t have a real big boss, it was a cover that Mu Fei (Sophia) had made up. Or, that there was a big group standing behind thepany.
But it turned out the big boss looked younger than imagined.
However, when he thought about it, this was not surprising, as the president is also very young.
But after witnessing the tip of the iceberg of the power disyed by the young president during the recruitment fair, he didn’t dare to underestimate her anymore. There was a yer express haughty insubordination and ended up being terrified.
President Mu Fei was undoubtedly a tough character.
The big boss who could control this tough character must not be a simple man.
The not-so-simple big boss walked into the office that Sophia had prepared for him.
The door closed, and the soundproofing was excellent.
It was then that Mu Yuan had the chance to ask, “What’s going on really?”
The Soul Crystal Coins he gave to Sophia were just slightly more than the cost of acquiring Remnant Souls.
Moreover, since all the drops from his territory were transported to Shiling Town for sale, Lanxing Company theoretically had no source of ie, it seemed to be a shellpany for purchasing Remnant Souls.
Sophia’s deliveries of Remnant Souls were never short, and in fact, were bing more and more.
Where did she get the money, she couldn’t have been doing something illegal, could she?
It wouldn’t be the case.
While this girl could have a bit of madness in her bones, she was generally good. It would make more sense if Sophia had won the lottery.
Sophia’s eyes sparkled.
Understood!
The boss was finally going to have her report her work!
Her efforts in managing thepany were just for this moment of prideful reporting. If she could receive praise from the boss, it would be even better.
She exined thepany’s development process and how it had grown step by step.
“At first, the funds were indeed tight, but relying on the channels you gave me, as well as the convenience of the lord’s identity, I connected with somerger business organizations and started to engage in extraordinary material trading.”
“For instance, we’d buy and sell rare Remnant Souls at the right price when we were purchasing.”
“We also undertook team tasks from the yers Association, worked for transportation, and acted as a guarantor for small business organizations and groups.”
Mu Yuan nodded slightly.
That makes sense…What the hell?!
How did you manage to grow thepany to its current scale in just a month?
“You took me to do business with the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce before, and then you emphasized that I should find severalrge business organizations for trading, isn’t that a hint?”
So it was resolved this way?
Indeed, the identity of a lord is distinguished and has great advantages over the average yer, and how many lords were there in Baijiang City?
Most of the lords were not purchasing as much as he was from Lanxing.
As expected, he was still the boss.
Of course, it was him.
Sophia said, “Thepany is now running smoothly, the next step is to enter the period of regr ie. I can contribute more Remnant Souls and funding to the territory.”
“Good job, you’ve done very well.”
But Mu Yuan was still a bit worried. Thepany’s rapid development mightck a solid foundation. Would Sophia be able to handle it alone?
After all, the yers she recruited were not her own, and it had been a short time.
And, the rapid growth of thepany would inevitably infringe on the interests of some yers. Would Sophia encounter danger?
Real business wars are often simple, direct, and dangerous.
Sophia reflected on it.
Thepetitor’s boss sneaking into thepanyte at night to steal information; being intercepted by hired thugs in the alley; transportation jobs sometimes being sabotaged by yers… and so on.
Were these dangerous?
Of course not, they were just a bit of excitement and fun added to a calm and ordinary life.
She loved this kind of fun.
