Chapter 99: Raising the price

Time passed slowly, and as the opening ceremony was approaching, Zheng Yusen suddenly remembered that Master Zhuge, who was hosting the ceremony for Guan Gong, had not yet arrived.

So I called my assistant and asked.

The assistant looked embarrassed: "Mr. Zheng, I have called several times to urge you. Master Zhuge's disciples said that they are already on their way!"

There are still certain dangers in the security industry, so every business that opens in this industry will ask a feng shui master with real skills to preside over the ceremony to honor Guan Gong.

This company's Feng Shui layout and opening date were all decided by Master Zhuge. Zheng Yusen was quite convinced of him, after all, he had approached him before.

Suddenly, Zheng Yusen's expression darkened slightly. He had invited Master Zhuge here from Nanjiang, and he had arrived yesterday and was staying in a hotel not far away.

Therefore, he immediately realized that there was a problem and asked, "Did you make Master Zhuge unhappy somewhere?"

After a slight hesitation, the assistant said: "Mr. Zheng, Master Zhuge wants to raise the price, but I didn't agree!"

"He just raised the price and agreed. If it's delayed, who can I call?"

Zheng Yusen's tone was a little dissatisfied.

"But Mr. Zheng, his price increase this time is a bit aggressive!" the assistant said aggrievedly.

"How much does he want?"

Zheng Yusen asked, before the company in Nanjiang opened, he gave Master Zhuge a reward of 16,800 yuan. This time, the other party came from Nanjiang, and in addition to all-inclusive food and accommodation, he also paid the other party 24,000 yuan. He also gave a big red envelope of 2,400 yuan to his disciples who were accompanying him as laborers.

For this price, it's definitely not low.

The assistant said angrily: "He wants 168,000!"

"What?" Zheng Yusen was shocked: "He really wants so much!"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng!" the assistant smiled bitterly: "That's why I rejected him. I didn't expect him to come out like this!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yusen's face became a little angry: "Damn, what a lion, I really think I'm a good boy!"

"Mr. Zheng, what should we do now?" the assistant said cautiously.

After a slight hesitation, Zheng Yusen said: "Forget it, today is a festive day so I won't argue with him. Just call him and ask him to come over quickly. We will give him another 12,000 yuan afterwards!"

The assistant immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Master Zhuge's apprentice, and turned on the speaker phone:

"Brother Yang, when will Master Zhuge come over? The ceremony to honor Guan Gong is about to begin!" the assistant asked politely.

"Don't worry, we're already on our way!" A lazy voice came from the phone.

At this moment, in a luxurious suite of a certain hotel, an old man in a Tang suit was sipping tea with a leisurely expression. Next to him, a young man was answering the phone, also on speakerphone.

Hearing the slightly anxious voice of the assistant, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth. After the trip to Xiangjiang, he had joined the Southeast Asian Metaphysics Research Association. Although he was only an ordinary member, his fees had increased ten times.

The assistant continued: "Brother Yang, I have already reported the price increase to Mr. Zheng. As long as Master Zhuge comes to complete this ceremony, we will offer another 12,000."

"Haha!" Yang Jiang sneered: "Twelve thousand to send a beggar, the cost this time is 168,000, not a penny less, otherwise, my master will not come here!"

Hearing the other party's arrogant words, Zheng Yusen couldn't help but take the phone: "I'm Zheng Yusen, let Master Zhuge answer the phone!"

"Master!"

Yang Jiang looked at Master Zhuge.

The other party nodded, took the phone, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, hello!"

"Master Zhuge, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?" Zheng Yusen said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zheng, are you questioning Lao Chen?" Teacher Zhuge's face suddenly turned cold: "Mr. Zheng, to tell you the truth, Lao Chen has now joined the Southeast Asian Metaphysics Research Association, and our fees are based on the prices set by the association. Yes, if Mr. Zheng doesn’t believe it, you can ask around!”

"I don't care about any association, but this price is too high. Master Zhuge, how about I increase the price in the end and give you 24,000 afterwards?" Zheng Yusen said very annoyed.

Master Zhuge said again: "Mr. Zheng, it's not that I don't want to help you, but if I lower my price and other colleagues find out about it, I will be squeezed out by them. You are also a businessman, so you should understand this truth!"

After a slight hesitation, Zheng Yusen agreed, because he knew that Master Zhuge was still a capable person. There was no need to fall out with him because of more than 100,000 yuan. At worst, he would just ignore him if such things happened in the future.

On the other side, Zhuge Rui hung up the phone and couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face. This trip to Xiangjiang was worth every penny. Not only did he witness a miraculous fight, but after he came back, the entry price also skyrocketed.

"Master, shall we set off now?"

Yang Jiang asked.

"Don't worry, let him wait for a while!" Zhuge Rui said proudly.

Seeing that the auspicious time was coming, Zheng Yusen couldn't help but show a bit of anger on his face. This Master Zhuge was too arrogant. He promised him a salary increase, but he didn't get it yet.

Finally, when only three minutes were left, Master Zhuge appeared with his apprentice.

Zheng Yusen put away the dissatisfaction on his face and forced out a smile to greet him: "Master Zhuge, you are here!"

"Mr. Zheng, don't be anxious. It's not time yet, isn't it?"

Under the leadership of Zheng Yusen, he came to his office on the fifth floor.

There was a statue of Guan Gong covered with red cloth on the table in the office.

In addition, Qin Chaoyang, Qin Tian, ​​Zhou Xiaoyun, Zheng Weiwei, and Zheng Yusen’s wife Yang Yudie, Lin Chengtian, Lu Wudi, Jiang Shishan, Xu Chenghuan and others who were notified to come to the ceremony were also in the office.

“Master Zhuge, please come in!”

Zheng Yusen politely led Master Zhuge into the office.

“Yes!”

Master Zhuge nodded proudly, raised his head slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked in at an unhurried pace, very much like a master.

“Let me introduce you to everyone, this is Master Zhuge, the master I asked Nanjiang to invite to preside over the sacrifice to Guan Gong!”

Zheng Yusen smiled and introduced everyone.

“Hello, Master Zhuge!”

Everyone greeted politely.

Master Zhuge waved his hand: "No need to be polite!"

Master Zhuge's tone became stuttering, his expression became confused, and there was a bit of panic in his expression. Then he quickly walked to Qin Tian and bowed: "Senior, I am rude in front of you, please forgive me!"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Yusen couldn't help but feel very surprised. This Master Zhuge actually called Xiaotian a senior. What's going on?

"You're welcome. Since my uncle Zheng invited you, you just need to do it with your heart!" Qin Tian said lightly.

Hearing this, Master Zhuge's heart skipped a beat and secretly complained. Qin Tian actually called Zheng Yusen "Uncle Zheng" and was invited to watch the ceremony. The relationship between the two sides must be quite close.

If Qin Tian knew that he was raising the price, it would be easier for the other party to deal with him than to kill an ant with his strength. Thinking of this, he regretted it in his heart. (To be continued)
