Chapter 64 -64 Compensation Issues

Jing Chenxing did not want to bring any trouble to Jing Yan.

Previously, he had forbidden Jing Qingyan from seeking Jing Yan for this very reason.

Jing Chenxing glanced sharply at Jing Qingyan beside Jing Yan.

Jing Qingyan quickly lowered his head, as he was rather fearful of his father, Jing Chenxing.

Actually, at this moment, Jing Qingyan’s mind was also in turmoil.

He had originally hoped that Jing Yan would seek out a high-ranking family member to handle the matter, but Jing Yan had insisted on dealing with it personally.

He didn’t know what Jing Yan planned to do; was he really going to confront Jing Yuqin head-on?

“Uncle Chenxing!”

Jing Yan strode into the small path revealed by the parted crowd.

His gaze first swept over Jing Yuqin and others, and then he turned to Jing Chenxing, giving a slight bow.

“Jing Yan, you shouldn’t have come.

Today is the day of the family competition.

Go back and prepare,” Jing Chenxing said gravely, his eyes fixed on Jing Yan.

“Don’t worry,” Jing Yan replied with a smile.

“Ah, Young Master Jing Yan, why have you come here?”

At this moment, a man with a goatee approached Jing Yan.

This man was Jing Mingyang, one of the three managers who handled the daily affairs of West District Square.

Jing Mingyang was a member of the Great Elder Jing Chunyu’s lineage.

It was he who had led the managerial team to the Radiant Weapon Shop to force Jing Chenxing to leave the workshop.

That morning, when Jing Yuqin approached Jing Mingyang with her thoughts, Jing Mingyang had not hesitated at all and immediately assured her he would take care of it.

In his view, dealing with an outdated member of the Jing family like Jing Chenxing was a piece of cake.

Successfully handling this would undoubtedly earn him favor from Jing Yuqin and bring him closer to the Great Elder.

The sudden appearance of Jing Yan slightly surprised Jing Mingyang.

Jing Yan’s status was naturally incomparable to Jing Chenxing’s. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Since Jing Yan had defeated Li Tianfu at the Extreme Combat Association, his position within the Jing Family had surged.

Jing Mingyang knew from various sources that the senior members of the Jing Family had begun to take Jing Yan seriously again.

However, Jing Mingyang didn’t take it to heart.

Jing Yan was important, but he was nothing compared to the Great Elder.

“Jing Mingyang, what are you trying to do?”

Jing Yan, his eyes narrowed, looked at Jing Mingyang and asked faintly.

Jing Mingyang’s expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He too was a manager at the workshop and held a not insignificant position.

Yet, Jing Yan addressed him directly by his name and even used a questioning tone, which was clearly disrespectful.

“Young Master Jing Yan, you can see what I am doing, can’t you?” Jing Mingyang said, his eyes filled with anger and a forced smile on his face.

He wasn’t afraid of Jing Yan.

Besides, Jing Yuqin was there.

Even if she wasn’t enough, there was still the Great Elder Jing Chunyu behind her.

Could you, Jing Yan, really turn the heavens upside down?

“Heh, I did see,” Jing Yan nodded lightly, “but I want to know the reason.

Why are you forcing my Uncle Chenxing out?”

“Reason?” Jing Mingyang had not really thought about a reason before.

But his mind was quick, being a manager at the workshop was not a job anyone could do without some capability.

“Jing Chenxing’s shop has attracted someone else’s interest, and for the sake of the family’s interests, he needs to vacate the premises,” Jing Mingyang said grimly.

“Is that so, my Uncle Chenxing hasn’t paid the rent?” Jing Yan scoffed.

“Not exactly, Jing Chenxing indeed paid the rent, but the rent is too low.

What I am doing is entirely in consideration of the family’s interests.

As a member of the Jing Family, you should understand this, right?

The interests of the family are most important,” Jing Mingyang snorted softly, thinking to himself, you, a young punk, dare to confront me.

“Mm, the interests of the family are indeed the most important,” Jing Yan nodded.

Seeing Jing Yan say this, Jing Mingyang felt secretly pleased.

Kid, I have been mingling in the managerial team for so many years, do you think I can’t handle you?

“Jing Mingyang, tell me, how much rent is this person who plans to rent the shop willing to pay annually?” Jing Yan asked immediately.

“Oh?” Jing Mingyang was taken aback again.

The person supposedly interested in renting the shop was entirely fictitious, so of course, no rent was specified.

“This…

should be twenty Spirit Stones a month, totaling two hundred and forty Spirit Stones annually,” Jing Mingyang paused before saying.

The location of Radiant Weapon Shop was too remote, situated in the very corner of the entire workshop, seldom visited by people.

Twenty Spirit Stones a month was an exceedingly high rent.

If he stated too much, not only would Jing Yan not believe it, but even he himself wouldn’t believe it.

“There are two hundred and forty Spirit Stones!”

“Take it, here are the two hundred and forty Spirit Stones, count them properly,” Jing Yan directly took out two hundred and forty Spirit Stones.

Two hundred plus Spirit Stones was really not a small amount for an ordinary martial artist.

In fact, the annual turnover of the Radiant Weapon Shop was only a few hundred Spirit Stones.

“Jing Yan, you…” Jing Chenxing frowned; that was over two hundred Spirit Stones!

“Uncle, don’t worry about it!” Jing Yan didn’t let Jing Chenxing finish, but smiled and shook his head at him.

It’s known inside the Jing family that a Martial Artist at the Eighth Layer Heaven received a monthly reward of just two hundred Spirit Stones.

There weren’t many martial artists at the Eighth Layer Heaven within the Jing family.

Additionally, this reward was only eligible for martial artists under thirty years old.

Once they exceeded that age, they couldn’t participate in the strength test to receive the reward.

“In that case…” Jing Mingyang, now out of reasons, looked at Jing Yuqin and then smiled, “Then let’s continue to rent to Jing Chenxing.

Young Master Jing Yan, you are indeed generous.”

“Alright, I’ll go get the agreement,” Jing Mingyang continued.

“Don’t rush!” Jing Yan, however, smiled and shook his head.

“Since the first matter is settled, let’s talk about the second.

You, Jing Mingyang, led people to disturb my Uncle Chenxing’s shop, impacted my uncle’s business, and also caused significant damage to Radiant Weapon Shop’s reputation.

You probably need to compensate for these losses,” Jing Yan said with a cold smile.

“What?” Jing Mingyang nearly jumped up.

Compensate for losses?

What losses?

The business at the weapon shop […]
