Chapter 1572 Unexpected Disaster
Jing Yuexin has lived for more than two hundred years. What has she not seen?
She has risen to prodigy status all the way, so she shouldn't have too much experience in using her prodigy to deal with others.
If the other party is willing to tell the truth, she will consider whether to help.
When she meets someone who wants to take advantage of her secretly, she usually won't be too polite.
Even if she did take action for some other reasons, she would not easily let go of the guy who took advantage of her.
Tianjiao is really not that easy to plot against!
However, what made her laugh and cry was that there were so many such smart-aleck people.
So she became very low-key later on, which was not unrelated to this kind of thing - there were too many fools who overestimated their own abilities, so it would be better for them to concentrate on cultivation.
It was obvious that the person in front of her also had some plans, and she was really a bit annoyed.
However, the man replied respectfully, "Goddess Jing, I swear on the lives of my entire family that I will not take advantage of you."
Then he told a story.
The man's great-grandfather was a member of the Energy Block Alliance. As the Supreme, he was also in charge of several star fields.
The Energy Block Alliance can occupy the shares of various mines out of thin air, and those who work below will naturally follow suit.
The man's great-grandfather used his cultivation and power to seize a small stake in some energy stone mines, needless to say.
Anyway, this money can't be earned by empty talk, he has to work hard when it's time to work.
Later, by chance, he acquired shares in an energy stone mine in the Giant Wave Star Region.
The total shares are not too many, just over 30%, but he is undoubtedly the major shareholder.
Seven or eight years ago, the man’s grandfather passed away, and naturally, the shares of this mine were targeted by others.
The man himself also works for the Mining Management Department and has some say in energy stone mines.
This is also the family's plan. Even if the ownership of the wealth cannot be guaranteed, at least it can ensure that the assets will not be sold at too low a price.
Then he was targeted in various ways - this was inevitable.
The man used all kinds of means to fight back, after all, he still had the convenience of his position, right?
However, without the Supreme Leader in the family, the resistance is only temporary. His great-grandfather left behind some connections, but how long can they last?
So he didn't think that he would be able to keep the shares. If he could sell them at a reasonable price, he would also accept it.
Unfortunately, although he finally sold the shares, the price was less than one-third of his psychological price.
But there was no way, the man had to sell.
Although the person who came forward to acquire the company was an ordinary person, the other party had too much negative information about him and his great-grandfather.
The man himself doesn't have too much negative information, but his great-grandfather is different. After all, as the supreme leader, he has a lot of influence over people.
Including this energy stone mine that was acquired, the initial acquisition method was not very bright.
To put it simply, it doesn't matter if your bottom is dirty, what matters is that someone is willing to take it seriously.
If he really didn't sell, his life would be in danger, and in the end... he still wouldn't be able to keep his shares.
The ones who came to buy the shares were just an ordinary small force, obviously white gloves.
After the man sold his shares, he was still a little unwilling, but he thought that it was over after all.
Unfortunately, things did not end there. The other party's subsequent actions made him even more passive.
The man was an official of the Mining Administration Department. After the mine changed hands, he still had to pay the taxes and fees.
However, the other party openly stated that this was Digital Phantom's own mine and would not pay any taxes.
Everyone in the Mining Management Department knew that the Digital Phantom team did control some energy stone mines and refused to pay taxes.
This matter once caused the headquarters a lot of trouble, but in the end it was nothing.
However, this kind of news is strictly blocked from the outside world and is also a taboo topic within the Mining Administration Department.
Once the news gets out, others will follow suit. How can we carry out our work then?
In fact, mining management departments in other places have tried to collect taxes from Digital Phantom’s mines in an attempt to take back this power.
They had no intention of offending the Digital Phantom and acted very cautiously, just wanting to fulfill their duties.
Unfortunately, pressure from the military usually comes before the Digital Phantom can show up.
After doing this several times, the military even became a little annoyed and their attitude became increasingly impolite.
Now that the mine refuses to pay taxes and fees, the Mining Administration Department naturally refuses to agree.
It's nothing more than a transfer of hands, and now it belongs to Digital Phantom's mine?
This man was an original shareholder of the mine and was also from the mining management department, so naturally someone would come to him to find out about the situation.
Then his superiors asked him to complete the debt collection task, otherwise he would be severely punished.
There is no need to talk about what happened next. The man has now lost his job in the mining management department and is facing some potential threats.
He had no other options, so he came to Digital Phantom to complain - or to ask for an explanation.
But unfortunately, he had no chance to contact Shui Xisheng at all.
But people always come up with solutions, so he kept an eye on Shui Shao's whereabouts.
The man's family has some financial resources, so he just needs to spend money to find ways to buy information.
Shui Xisheng's whereabouts were discovered today, especially when he did not go back and went out for a walk with others.
The man also noticed that Shui Shao took the initiative to go out and look for the man and woman whose identities were a bit mysterious.
The person who can make Young Master Shui care so much must have a good background.
Then he came over with his friends and said something shocking on purpose.
It just so happened that the group of people just now started talking about Digital Phantom. Even if no one brought it up, he would have spoken up sooner or later.
"Humph," Shui Xisheng snorted after hearing this, "How dare you speak so arrogantly and slander Digital Phantom?"
The man replied in a deep voice, "Mr. Shui, I must explain. First of all, I am not sure whether it was done by the Digital Phantom..."
The Mining Administration also went to investigate the true situation, but a man named Qiao appeared at the mine and stopped them from continuing the investigation.
Mr. Qiao’s grandfather was a high-ranking official in the empire and also a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Mines.
This person's identity is enough to scare off most people, and when he reported that this was Digital Phantom's industry, who would dare to investigate further?
Secondly, the man thought, "If it wasn't done by Digital Phantom, then wouldn't it be ruining your reputation if they used this banner?"
Shui Xisheng stopped talking. Although he was still very angry, the main person was here and it was not his turn to speak.
The other party's statement is sufficient to prove that he is not inactive.
"You are really... so brave," Jing Yuexin's face turned cold, "Do you really think we don't exist?"
Qu Jianlei looked calm. This kind of hitchhiking thing... wasn't too strange to say.
There are always some smart people who use their minds on such crooked ways.
And they have to admit that if someone hadn't come and told them about this, they really wouldn't have known about it.
The bottom line is that the team has too much on their hands and has no energy to worry about trivial matters in society, which is why people take advantage of them.
To be honest, even if they had recognized this possibility before, they would not have deliberately taken precautions.
I really don't have the time or the manpower to deal with similar matters.
Thinking of this, Qu Jianlei just asked in a deep voice, "When encountering such a thing, how do you usually deal with it?"
Jing Yuexin answered without hesitation, "It's fine if they don't know, but now that we know, we certainly can't let them ruin our reputation again."
If you don't know, then you can just not care... Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly.
This is the disadvantage of having a good reputation, it is simply an unprovoked disaster.
He looked at the man and asked in a deep voice, "Are there many mines under the banner of Digital Phantom?"
The man blinked, looked at Goddess Jing beside him, and then looked at him.
He was a little confused about this person's identity - although you are with the goddess, can you make the decision?
He wanted to ask a question, but the other party's aura prevented him from opening his mouth.
This aura has little to do with one's personal cultivation. It is simply the aura that is naturally developed after being in a superior position for a long time.
After a pause, he answered, "In the Giant Wave Star Region, I know there are two... I don't know about the others."
"Two places..." Jing Yuexin snorted coldly and paused before speaking again.
"Don't tell them in advance. You didn't find out the facts, but you spread rumors and slandered me, Digital Phantom. Do you admit this crime?"
"This... I admit it," the man pondered for a moment and nodded obediently.
He could argue that he was doing this for Digital Phantom's own good, but that would only make the other party more annoyed.
"Now I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins," Jing Yuexin said straightforwardly.
"Since you come from the Mining Department, you must have your own network of connections."
"I'll give you half a month to find all the mines under the Digital Phantom banner and inform the Shui Group."
"If you can do it, let's leave it at that. Otherwise...Shui Xisheng!"
Shui Xisheng responded honestly, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on this matter."
But then he asked doubtfully, "Do you want to make a big fuss about it?"
"That's fine," Jing Yuexin waved her hand and said calmly, "If you dare to ruin our reputation, this matter will definitely not end."
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "That's right, if we don't punish them severely, others will think we don't dare to take action!"
This incident completely disturbed the two people's mood for shopping, and they left in the evening.
Jing Yuexin even muttered, "Should we investigate other aspects of the business as well?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "There really aren't that many people, and we don't have that much energy."
Jing Yuexin pursed her lips in dismay and snorted, "Then we have to conduct a thorough investigation this time."
This can only be regarded as a solution that is not a solution. However, what the two did not expect was that three days later, the Fourth Boss brought new news.
Kailais is dead - it is impossible to complain to Shui Xisheng, the one who is now in charge of collecting information.
This person died in a luxury hotel. Preliminary diagnosis was that it was food poisoning that caused acute myocardial infarction and led to sudden death.
