Chapter 593: Chapter 324: Gu Insects Gulp Down Traitor’s Wine
Hoo...
The night wind is chilly.
But inside the Traitor’s Wine Factory courtyard, it is brightly lit.
On row after row of outdoor barbecue grills, the charcoal is glowing red, and various ingredients like steaks, sausages, and chicken wings are sizzling with juice.
The entire factory staff, including engineers, lab technicians, administrators, and workers, are gathered here, forming groups of threes and fives, eating, drinking, and laughing joyfully.
"These steaks don’t seem cheap!"
"Expert Bai Mo is really generous!"
"Whoa, the sausages have a unique taste too."
"Come on, Old Wang, let’s have a drink!"
Sitting at the table, Professor Zhang held a wine glass and said with a smile, "Expert Bai Mo, would you like to say a few words?"
Bai Mo, sitting beside him, wiped the oil off the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Forget it, you can talk. I’m not used to it."
Speaking on such occasions is indeed too awkward!
But Professor Zhang showed no awkwardness, he got up without hesitation, picked up the microphone, and cleared his throat.
"Good evening, everyone!"
His voice immediately drew the attention of the entire crowd.
Experienced old employees have already put down their barbecue, pulled out napkins, and wiped their oily hands clean.
"I am Zhang Ye, and on behalf of the Immortal Committee, and on behalf of Expert Bai Mo, I welcome everyone here..."
Instantly, there was a wave of applause!
Clap clap clap clap...
Bai Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling quite awkward.
But noticed that the fox disciple Char Siubun, who was squatting in his lap, had somehow already put down the steak and was also clapping proudly along with the applause.
"Aww aww aww!"
The senior brothers had said before, this factory, much like the Little Volcano Military Factory, is also a subsidiary of Fox Mountain.
In this factory, the master has to maintain a cold demeanor, showing off his style.
But if he’s too aloof, it can make people feel distant, so as the master’s direct disciple, it should be slightly more enthusiastic to close the gap with everyone!
This applause is the diplomacy of the fox!
And then Professor Zhang continued.
"Tonight’s celebration banquet is held for all our employees!
"In just half a month, we’ve completed all the research, testing, and production, and have even produced a large amount of Traitor’s Wine and sent it to locations all over Jiuzhou!"
Amidst the tide of applause, Professor Zhang smiled broadly.
"Everyone might not know, this Traitor’s Wine has initially shown its power.
"It has already helped us capture fourteen criminal Gu Masters!"
The entire venue erupted in applause!
"It even helped us intercept communications from the Ancient Immortal!"
The crowd was even more astonished and applauded loudly.
"Great!"
"Impressive!"
"Hahaha!"
...
Standing in a corner, Master Chong and the fair-skinned young man listened to Professor Zhang’s speech, clicking their tongues in awe.
"This thing indeed seems quite formidable."
The fair-skinned young man, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with slicked-back hair, looked like a business elite, a refined scoundrel.
"Master Chong, aren’t you also a Gu Master?
"Aren’t you afraid of Traitor’s Wine?
"Haven’t you mistreated your Gu insects?"
Master Chong snorted coldly.
"I’m different from those low-level Gu Masters!
"Even though I’m only Sequence Nine, I’ve never mistreated my Gu insects!"
He pointed to the socket of his single eye behind the sunglasses.
"It’s always the Gu insects mistreating me!"
The fair-skinned young man was stunned for a while.
"Uh, Master Chong... impressive."
Master Chong grinned.
"Hey, this is nothing, you’re not a Gu Master, you don’t understand the intricacies of our trade.
"I’ll go talk to Expert Bai Mo first.
"Afterwards, I’ll ask him if he’d be willing to meet you. Just wait a moment."
With that, Master Chong stood up and left to find Bai Mo.
Leaving the fair-skinned young man alone.
...
"Expert Bai Mo!"
Master Chong grinned, carrying a box, and sat down beside Bai Mo.
He was the food sponsor today.
"Are you satisfied with the food?"
Bai Mo smiled and poured a glass of wine for Master Chong.
"When there’s sponsorship and no need to spend your own money, of course I’m satisfied."
Then Master Chong, with an air of mystery, said.
"Does your factory still lack funds?
"Do you need an agent?
"I have a ready-made agent proposal."
Bai Mo and Professor Zhang, who just finished speaking, exchanged glances, looking at each other.
"This... we truly don’t need an agent.
"Our production capacity is indeed not low, enough to supply all the Immortal Committees in Jiuzhou.
"But it can only be provided to the Immortal Committee.
"If we were to open up for purchase, then production capacity wouldn’t be enough..."
Master Chong shook his head.
"Of course it can’t be open!
"I plan to do some high-end business."
He took out a small bronze incense burner from his box.
"I plan to sell some antiques!
"Fill this antique incense burner with some factory scrap material, then casually go around spreading some rumors, boasting about it...
"Whether it works or not isn’t important, these things rely entirely on the buyer’s imagination and speculation!
"We mainly sell antique incense burners!
"Sell one as it is, if it doesn’t sell then forget it. If it sells, it’ll supplement some funds for the factory, and give the workers a bonus.
"These days, it’s tough for everyone..."
Professor Zhang listened, feeling dizzy.
Previously, he hadn’t had much contact with Master Chong, only learning today that Master Chong was talented in this area!
He furrowed his brows.
"The key... this incense burner, this antique..."
He reached out to stroke it.
"The casting marks on it are still new, this..."
Master Chong gave an awkward smile.
"This... well, there’s nothing we can do about that.
"The antique industry is like this.
"We say it clearly, it’s from last week.
"The customers listen with gleaming eyes, saying it’s from the Shang or Zhou dynasty.
"We also emphasize, that it’s sold as a craft piece!
"They all understand, saying it’s an ancient craft piece!
"This... well, we’re helpless too."
Bai Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth.
