Commanding Wind and Cloud Chapter 150: Full Consensus

Chapter 150: Full Consensus

Translator: Udong Editor: Waffles

"Of course, Ms. Rosella does have business talent, but..." Lee Junta felt very uncomfortable and wanted to resist a little. The t.i.tle of Vice-President was just a t.i.tle. If the member of any Family became the Vice-President at the Commercial Trading Firm, it would help that family grow and expand their business operations a lot. "But..." Lee Junta struggled.

"But what?" Qian Jin lightly caressed the smooth coffin as his voice suddenly got very chilly, "Do you think that the t.i.tle of Vice-President at the firm is too small for her? Then how about you become the Vice-President? And let Rosella become the President?"

Lee Junta clearly felt that since Qian Jin had spoken, he wasn’t going to take it back. However, he didn’t have the authority to give the position of Vice-President to anyone he wanted; as the president, he only had the nomination right.

"No, no, no..." Lee Junta quickly shook his head, "But the Commercial Trading Firm has its own policies and rules. I could only nominate. If Rollin is running for the position, there won’t be a problem since we all knew him. But if it is Rosella who we don’t really know much about, then..."

Qian Jin stopped looking at Lee Junta. Since Sabonis gave Rollin such a gift, he was determined to get some actual and tangible benefits for Roll Family. Although a lot of influential characters came today, they were too fake and didn’t represent any actual value.

"General Zhang." Qian Jin said as he glanced at all the people in the yard, "I think there are quite a lot of people from Commercial Trading Firm here, right?"

Without looking at Lee Junta’s begging expression, Zhang Mumbai answered, "Yes, yes, yes. That’s right." At that moment, he felt like he was a frog that was targeted by a snake; if he lied to Qian Jin, Caeller’s ending might be his ending as well. After all, a madman didn’t think logically, and it wasn’t the time for him to take care of his friends.h.i.+p.

"Then please call them over, and tell them about what the president just said. Please also help me persuade them. Why can’t a female become the Vice-President of the Commercial Trading Firm?" Qian Jin said as he shook his head with an unpleasant expression on his face, "I don’t think so."

After Zhang Mumbai left the mourning hall, Lee Junta’s expression paled even more; somehow, his face turned a little brown. Although he was very talkative and pervasive, he felt like he was talking with a beast. They were on two completely different sides and it was hard to communicate, and this beast didn’t look like he wanted to communicate.

Fabreidis asked Qian Jin quietly, "This is necessary?"

Qian Jin pointed at Zhang Mumbai who was running towards the people in the yard with his chin as he said, "Look at him, he is treating me like a madman. I just realized that being a madman isn’t bad. People are not scared of a mentally capable warrior due to the constraints of the law. But when a warrior is mad and abnormal, the benefit would come. Since they are all treating me like a madman, I don’t mind continuing with this."

Fabreidis sighed as he shook his head, "This line, I feel like I heard it from a story before, from a traveling poet. It’s about..."

"b.l.o.o.d.y Butcher is his nickname, he is b.l.o.o.d.y Days." Qian Jin reminded Fabreidis casually, "He is a real madman. He treated humans like beasts that could be slaughtered. Even the demons were scared of him. I heard that he had disappeared for a long time. After Zence Empire made the announcement that he was probably dead, every region in Demon Empire hosted parties and celebrated for a whole day.

"This..." A bitter smile appeared on Fabreidis’ face as he nodded, "That’s right, and the demons created a holiday called b.l.o.o.d.y Devil Day on that day."

Members of Commercial Trading Firm walked into the mourning hall with Zhang Mumbai; their faces were all pale. After hearing the story about Qian Jin, they were all afraid of him.

"I believe you guys know what is going on." Qian Jin walked in front of Rosella and hugged her into his arms. "Your president is nominating Rosella, my fiancée, as the Vice-President of Oakland’s Commercial Trading Firm." He said.

Fabreidis glanced through these people’s faces in pity. Qian Jin put a lot of emphasis on the word "Fiancée", which meant he was going to play the role of a madman till the end.

The members were all planning how they can reject the proposal. But after hearing the word "Fiancée" that came out of Qian Jin’s mouth, they knew that they could reject the proposal easily. There were two options: one was to risk everything and fight with Qian Jin, and the other one was to just accept it...

Fight? The members were confident that if they spend enough money and their resources, they were able to kill Qian Jin. The only thing with that plan was that it didn’t follow the merchant’s golden rule of making profits. On top of that, they weren’t sure if Rosella actually was good at business. Even if she got the position of Vice-President, many valuable information and money-making opportunities might slide by her eyes. "I’m better off if I vote for her." They all thought.

"I agree."

Lee Junta stared at these members as he shouted in his mind, "All these soft a.s.ses! In the normal meeting, you all need to argue and fight for more than ten days, and proposals could never get a full consensus and usually just barely pa.s.ses the threshold."

Today... For the first time in history since the establishment of Oakland’s Commercial Trading Firm, a proposal had a full consensus!

"Thanks, you guys can go back and do your stuff now." Qian Jin waved at the members of the firm and turned around to continue his chat with Fabreidis; he was treating the people from the firm like air, non-existent.

At this moment, everyone’s attention had refocused onto the gate. Mayor Sabonis who was in a black warrior suit with a sword tied to his waist walked into the yard without anyone making any kind of announcement.

Lee Junta hated Sabonis even more for not notifying him ahead of time when he saw Sabonis walking in without making a scene and while bringing the mayor’s sword; it was the appearance that a mayor would make only when he thinks the event was very significant.

All the chatter and murmurs in the yard instantly paused. They stared at the mayor of Oakland carefully in surprise as they saw him bow at Rollin’s coffin with a sad expression on his face and comforted Rosella by chatting with her for a while.

At that moment, many people felt like how they saluted in front of Rollin’s coffin was too casual! "Even the mayor bowed to salute, and I wasn’t as sincere as him!" They thought.

Most of the people here were smart and had been through many events in their lives. After they saw the mayor’s behavior, they knew that Roll Family would be untouchable in Oakland for a long while.

Although there was only a single woman left in Roll Family, no one dared to underestimate her. Even mayor Sabonis came and bowed to show his respect, which meant there was something that even the mayor deemed important about Roll Family.

Fabreidis lightly tapped Qian Jin’s shoulder, and then also bowed at Rollin’s coffin like Sabonis did. Although Fabreidis bent his back even more this time, the sincerity was less than last time.

Qian Jin knew that Fabreidis was doing this to show the people in here. Those people couldn’t tell how much sincerity the person has, but they could see what ident.i.ty the person has and how much the person bowed.

After Fabreidis’ bow, everyone in the yard changed how they were looking at Rosella again. Although Fabreidis had less influence than Sabonis, he was very proud of himself and had little desires. When influential figures at Oakland pa.s.sed away before, the mayor went to the funeral, but the guardian of the city never went!

This time, the guardian didn’t just show up, but also paid his respect towards Rollin! It was double the honor! Rollin got the honors that he didn’t get when he was still alive. Now, he was the proudest and most honorable ... corpse.

Almost everyone in the yard started to think that when this funeral was over, they had to prepare a big gift and come to talk to the only person in Rollin Family. With the double protection from the two most powerful people at Oakland, Roll Family’s business would get much better for sure.

Some people also wondered whether they should come here again and try to arrange a marriage proposal with Rosella. If one of their kids is able to marry this woman, they would get both the huge property of Roll Family and the care of the two most powerful people in Oakland.

Only the members of Commercial Trading Firm peeked at Qian Jin infrequently; except fear, confusion and curiosity also appeared in their eyes. "This young warrior who is less than nineteen years old actually chopped Glan who become a Demon Fighter for five years and killed Thunder Cat Bloodline Warrior Cage?" they thought to themselves.

However, no one dared to test the truthfulness of General Zhang Mumbai’s words. A man who could chat casually with Fabreidis and talk with Sabonis freely could only be very strong, have a huge powerhouse behind him, or be a madman.

It didn’t matter which category Qian Jin fell under. Members of Commercial Trading Firm didn’t want to provoke him. If they could make money, why would they stop that?

Rodriguez came. Durk and many Grade Three warrior students followed him in as well. As cla.s.smates of fatty, they all appeared in the mourning hall.

Qian Jin knew Rodriguez would come. The former instructor of Warrior Branch at the academy cared deeply about every one of his students. He already felt bad for not having enough power to investigate fatty’s death, so he would definitely partic.i.p.ate in fatty’s funeral.

When Rodriguez walked into the yard, he was very surprised. He even backed out and looked at the board on the wall to make sure that he didn’t go into a wrong room. After he double checked, he walked into the yard that was filled with influential people at Oakland and up to the mourning hall; he looked around curiously as he proceeded.

"Instructor." Qian Jin quickly walked up and bowed.

Rodriguez on the other hand sighed as he patted Qian Jin’s shoulder. "I don’t want to say many comforting words. Although this fatty didn’t really practice and train like a warrior when he was my student, he was my student and I should come and see him for the last time. After this is over, come back to the academy. Make sure you come." He said

After seeing Rodriguez walking into the mourning hall, Durk walked up and patted Qian Jin’s shoulder as he said, "Remember instructor’s word. Remember to come."

After Rodriguez paid his respect to Rollin, he didn’t know where he should stand. He quickly walked towards Fabreidis when he saw Fabreidis waving at him.

All the influential figures saw Rodriguez chatting with Fabreidis and Sabonis nervously and started to think, "Should I also chat with Rodriguez after this is over? Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy has been established for many years. Should I sponsor them and make them more successful?"
