Chapter 222 Scott
Chapter 222 Scott
The previous chapter talked about when Jing Yuan and Huai Yan met on the Starry Sky Train.
Huai Yan formally introduced Yun Li to everyone. Yan Qing asked Yun Li to return the flying sword, but Yun Li insisted on not returning it, saying that Yan Qing, who lost in the battle, was not worthy of the flying sword. The two of them had a disagreement...
After everyone left Sichen Palace, seeing Jing Yuan's overly reserved behavior, I felt that this martial arts ceremony must be extraordinary.
Dan Heng said that the martial arts ceremony was just a small festival. The reason why two generals from other immortal boats came here at the same time must be due to other reasons.
They came to hold accountable the Jianmu disaster in Luofu.
San Yue Qi thought that was not the case: "The bad guys from the Medicine King Secret and the Antimatter Army invaded Luofu and wreaked havoc. Isn't Luofu a victim? How can the victim be held accountable?"
Dan Heng said: "Dan Shu's rebellion and vague plan...are just one-sided in the eyes of other generals in the alliance. Only one piece of solid evidence has been left, which will cause endless troubles."
Yan Qing: "Jianmu."
Su Qiankun thought for a moment: "Let me tell you my inference. Jing Yuan's performance during Jianmu's rebirth was examined by both General Huai Yan and General Fei Xiao at the same time."
"He invited us here to serve as witnesses for him... Am I right?"
Fu Xuan agreed: "Yes, of course there are other reasons. After all, it has only been a short time since Jianmu was reborn. Jingyuan held the martial arts ceremony to bring out many potential unstable factors."
Little Gray Hair also understood: "No wonder we were called back to watch the ceremony."
March 7: "I'm so stupid, really. I thought I could have a happy trip whenever I wanted. Now it seems that the Starry Sky Train is always full of troubles wherever I go."
Yan Qing was a little annoyed: "Damn it, I actually thought at first that the generals were just here to watch the ceremony, and I was so happy."
"Thinking about it this way, I heard that there is also an alchemist coming with Zhu Ming's envoy ship this time. It is said that he will serve as the new director of Luofu Alchemy Department."
Dan Heng held his chin with both hands as if thinking: "A person sent by Zhu Ming to serve as the Si Ding of Luofu? There is a precedent, but the timing is..."
Yan Qing: "After listening to what Mr. Su said, Yan Qing realized the undercurrent behind this."
"The general is under tremendous pressure right now. But I was completely oblivious to his distress... How childish!"
March 7: "Don't think like that! Adults should worry about their own affairs. Besides, what can you do for your general right now?"
Yan Qing: “…”
Sanyueqi scratched his head: "Uh, did I say something wrong again?"
Yan Qing: "Miss Sanyue is right! Yan Qing's ability is low, and I can't help the general at the moment, but I can do my best to do everything the general asks me to do."
Seeing that he looked so worried, everyone felt a little uneasy, so they suggested going to the Industrial and Manufacturing Department with him.
Yan Qing quickly declined: "That's not right. I appreciate your help, but the company staff are particularly difficult to deal with, and I'm worried that this will cause trouble for the train."
Sanyueqi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! Our train crew is very experienced in dealing with people from the company! Have you heard of the "Ten Stone Hearts"? We have dealt with many of them!"
Yan Qing had no choice but to agree: "Okay, since you are willing to help, I will not refuse. Let's go to the Industrial and Manufacturing Department to meet them."
Everyone followed Yan Qing to investigate the Interstellar Peace Company caravan that was attacked by the Buli people.
There, I met Lyndon Scott.
A sales representative from the company’s marketing department.
Speaking of which, I met him a few times last time in Xianzhou, and some minor incidents happened that are not worth mentioning.
At that time, he had a dispute with the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce over the lease of the Jinren Lane Wharf, and then made a dog-barking bet with Su Chang, a member of the Yunqi Army who stood up for justice.
On the way, Scott secretly sabotaged the terminal's business operations, but was exposed by the train crew at Tianbosi.
After losing the bet, Scott learned to bark like a dog in front of the folks in Jinren Lane as promised.
After that defeat, Scott was transferred away from Xianzhou.
I didn't expect to meet him today.
This time, after learning about the situation, Scott boarded the New Londinium cargo ship as the company's accompanying commissioner.
When it reached the Luofu star field, the cargo ship was attacked by the Buli human-beast ship, and was subsequently rescued by the Zhu Ming envoy ship visiting Luofu, and forced to land at Luofu Airport.
Because Tianbosi scanned the biological tissue in the cargo of the cargo ship, it violated the laws of Xianzhou.
Luo Fu tried to open the box for inspection, but Commissioner Scott refused to do so on the grounds that it was a patent of the Bozhi Society.....
Yan Qing was somewhat helpless: "It seems that Mr. Scott is very stubborn and not easy to persuade. Alas, Yan Qing really does not want to fall out with the company."
Little Gray Hair volunteered: "Leave it to me! I'm a negotiation expert!"
Yan Qing could only place his hopes on the train crew: "I heard about your help to Jinrenxiang before. The company representative at that time was Mr. Scott, right?"
"Since we have experience dealing with him... I guess I'll have to trouble you again this time."
Scott was getting a little impatient: "What are you guys mumbling about? Return the goods to us quickly!"
Little Gray Hair looked at Scott and thought: I remember this guy's personality is typical of someone who doesn't respond to soft words, but he still follows the rules. Let's use his personality traits to deal with him.
Scott: "Since you bring up safety regulations, let's talk about the law."
"According to Article 4 of the Xianzhou Alliance-Interstellar Peace Corporation Trade Consensus Declaration, the Alliance and the company must not infringe on each other's intellectual property rights."
Little Gray Hair: "The Alliance can sign a confidentiality agreement with you, so you don't have to worry about them snooping, right?"
Xi Kui (Tian Bosi): "We can follow the company's rules and sign a confidentiality agreement that both parties can accept."
Scott was a little scared: "That's what I said, but who knows if you will follow my advice!"
"Not to mention the confidentiality of intellectual property rights, the cost of the test prototypes made by the Institute of Knowledge alone is so high that you can't imagine! If anything goes wrong, you can't afford to pay for it even if you work for the rest of your life!"
Little Gray Hair asked: "Mr. Scott, can you calculate a specific amount? If there is any damage after the inspection, the train, uh, no, Tianbosi is willing to compensate according to the price."
Xi Kui said: "Of course Tianbosi can compensate. The prerequisite is that they can issue a clear report of the relevant damage."
Scott: "I don't doubt the financial strength of Tianbosi...but! This is not about money!"
"In addition, the cargo on this transport ship belongs to the Institute of Knowledge. If you want to inspect it, do you have to at least summon a client of the Institute of Knowledge to be present?"
Little Gray Hair said: "According to the territorial principle, since this batch of goods is stranded at the port of Xianzhou, the Tianbosi has the right to inspect it."
Yanqing said: "That's right. According to Article 27 of the Xianzhou Law, "All official and private property must be searched once it enters the port. Those who refuse to do so will be charged with corruption."
Scott: "Huh? What do you mean? Why can't my synesthesia beacon translate it?"
Yan Qing said: "To put it simply, if you insist on refusing us to search the goods, we will have no choice but to confiscate them as stolen goods."
Scott: "Confiscate?! How can you...you Xianzhou people be so unreasonable!"
Yan Qing: "Mr. Scott, if there are safety risks in the cargo entering the port at Pier Point, the company will also take it in and dispose of it, right?"
Scott: "Well... that's true, but, but the company occasionally allows some exceptions. For example, the company is always willing to make exceptions for the ships of the Immortal Boat."
"Both the company and Xianzhou are ruled by law, so we must follow the procedures! As an employee of the company, I must also abide by the company's rules and laws. If I make an exception and let you check, it would be really a disaster."
Little Gray Hair: "You have your rules, and others have their own rules. We are on their territory, so shouldn't we abide by their rules?"
Scott: "Of course I know I'm standing on the territory of the Immortal Boat, but I violated the procedures, and I will be punished when I return!"
Then he sighed and said, "You guys are quite eloquent. It's not impossible for you to perform a safety inspection."
"Just...give me a few days. After all, this is a serious matter. Let me communicate with the company headquarters."
Yan Qing had already figured out that Scott was planning to use the tactic of "delaying". Once the ship was repaired, the Tianbosi would have no choice but to let them leave without inspection.
At this time, a woman came towards this side, talking as she walked.
"As long as they don't break the law, people in the company can come and go freely."
