Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Chapter 36: Effective Negotiation

Anping put down the communicator, glanced at Xiao En, then turned and went downstairs.

Xiao En planned to grab Tian Luyao and inquire carefully about the situation of the Silver Exchange, but at this time he could only follow behind Anping with great reluctance.

From the Baiyin Exchange to the [Tianxuan Yudong] where the person in charge of Tianxuan District is located, the road is smooth and brightly lit, and the prosperity of [Li] can be seen everywhere.

However, lighting up the bustling city lights cannot illuminate the deep starry sky after all. Xiao En can't help but think of the previous conversation: In this magnificent space city that inherits [Kun] and [Xun], crimes have never stopped.

So the momentary curiosity and excitement was gradually replaced by vigilance.

After all, the Red Apricot Squad didn't come to play in the mountains and rivers, but came to "settle accounts" with a group of habitual theft criminals and their umbrellas.

Judging from Anping Lu Nan's conversation, they didn't plan to settle this account peacefully at all, so Xiao En was ready to fight at any time.

But on the other hand, Sean really didn't want unnecessary killings to occur. If possible, he still hopes that the matter can be resolved in a peaceful manner.

Perhaps this is indeed a kind of "envoy of justice" mentality, to the veterans of the Red Apricot Squad who are used to seeing life and death, it looks like a "Holy Mother"-Xiao En is very clear that this term is derogatory in the Red Apricot Squad.

But this world always needs someone to be a messenger of justice.

And it is better to have more saints than more criminals in the world.

This is also the idea that he gradually engraved in his heart when he was receiving Jedi training.

The galaxy doesn't need everyone to be a Jedi, but the galaxy will always need a Jedi.

While thinking about it, Xiao En followed Anping to [Tianxuan Yudong].

It is a beautiful building located in the middle of Tianxuan Square with infinite scenery. It is more than 500 meters high and the whole body is crystal clear, like a pile of precious jade.

This tall building with more than 150 floors gathers most of the essence of [Tianxuan] district, including the largest financial and trading company in the space city, the storage group, and the branches of many corporate giants from [Kun] and [Xun] .

Some people say that the wealth contained in [Tianxuan Yudong] even surpasses the rare jade with the same volume as the building.

The top floors of the Yu Building are the offices of the heads of the nine divisions and districts of [Tianxuan]. These 10 people looked down at the most prosperous urban area of ​​the entire space city, like kings on the throne.

Now, kings welcome unexpected guests.

Anping faced the young girl in front of the service desk on the first floor of [Tianxuan Yudong], showing a lazy yet gentle smile.

"Please inform your chief person in charge, Mr. Zhang, and tell him that Anping has something to ask him."

The well-trained front desk girl was startled when she heard this, but she still maintained a polite smile: "Please wait a moment, let me confirm."

After a while, the girl at the front desk got the feedback from the communicator, and couldn't help showing an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry Mr. An, Mr. Zhang happened to be out today..."

Anping smiled and interrupted: "Tell him, if he still has something to go out within a minute, Lu Nan and I will go to his office and wait for him to come back."

The girl at the front desk was said to be inexplicable. Who is this person who dares to be so rude to Mr. Zhang?

But looking at Anping's sleepy eyes, she subconsciously didn't dare to disobey, and just honestly conveyed his words to the assistant secretary on the top floor.

In less than half a minute, she got a completely different feedback.

This sudden change made the young girl dumbfounded, almost speechless.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang invites you to meet at the top floor."

"Ha, I haven't seen you for many years. Mr. Zhang still misses the old relationship very much."

Accompanied by Anping's laugh, the piercing siren of the security inspection device suddenly sounded at the gate of [Tianxuan Yudong].

Wearing a heavy protective coat and carrying a gun case that was as long as one person, Lu Nan strode in from the main entrance. The alarm bell of the security check passage was like her own background sound effect, which became louder and louder with her footsteps, attracting everyone in the lobby on the first floor. There was chaos.

The guards with guns on duty hurriedly aimed their guns at Lu Nan, and uttered a loud warning tone, but Lu Nan ignored it and didn't turn his head.

The captain on duty was about to fire a warning shot, but at this moment he heard the latest instructions from the communicator. He lowered his gun in disbelief, and raised his hand to signal the rest of his men to lower their guns as well.

Lu Nan, who was fully armed, broke into [Tianxuan Yudong] openly and aboveboard!

Behind Lu Nan, Xiao En couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Before that, he was still worried about how he could minimize casualties if a gun battle really broke out here. After all, most of the lobby on the first floor were innocent civilians... Fortunately, the worst case did not happen. Lu Nan was fully armed, but there was no use for it.

But on the other hand, Xiao En also vaguely realized that the reason why he was useless was precisely because of Lu Nan's full armor.

For a Jedi apprentice who had lived in the core area of ​​the Republic for a long time and was influenced by the idea of ​​disarmament, the scene in front of him could not help but fall into contemplation.

On the other side, seeing Lu Nan and Xiao En entering the door smoothly, Anping beckoned them to follow, and then skillfully crossed a row of green plants in the lobby on the first floor to a restricted area.

The two security guards in black at the entrance of the restricted area seemed to not see the arrival of the three of them. Anping didn't say hello to them either, and only brought two teammates to the end of the restricted area, in a blue elevator shaft.

He skillfully entered the top-level code, and then said: "Zhang Jincheng is not an easy person to deal with, the trouble has just started from now on."

Lu Nan sneered, "Whose trouble? Ours or his?"

"Good question, Zhang Jincheng is no longer the Zhang Jincheng he was back then. After so many years, Xiao Zhang has become Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang has become Mr. Zhang. After sitting on the throne for so long, he is more afraid of trouble than us."

Speaking of this, Anping showed a hint of aftertaste on his face: "I still admire Xiao Zhang, who was humble back then, but dared to scold the person in charge of the division."

Lu Nan said coldly: "If that little Zhang made the decision, there should not be a few living people left on the first floor."

Anping sighed and said: "Indiscriminate killing is meaningless, so please be polite to Mr. Zhang. Our Hongxing team is responsible for our own profits and losses, and we should make money with peace. The part of not talking well is almost over, let me leave it to me first, how about it?" "

Lu Nan sneered: "So I'm just here to be a vase?"

Anping said: "Not necessarily. Mr. Zhang has nine district leaders under his command. There will always be a few who don't want to talk properly. I'll trouble you to talk to them properly when the time comes."

"Ha, okay." Lu Nan said, her smile became warmer.

Not long after, the elevator carried the three of them to the top floor of [Tianxuan Yudong].

The elevator door is open, and what greets the eyes is a spacious and resplendent corridor. The carved beams and jade buildings on both sides are extremely prosperous, which makes people dazzled.

At the end of the corridor is a twenty-three-story staircase that combines gold and jade. Above the stairs, two scarlet wooden doors are half-covered, revealing the light and shadow of the lights behind the doors.

Anping glanced at it and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Zhang is really getting richer and richer. He wasn't so exaggerated when he saw it a few years ago."

As soon as the words fell, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind the door.

"I'm getting old, my eyesight is bad, and I always want to make everything around me brighter, which makes my old friends laugh."

The voice came from all directions at the same time. Although it was not very strong, it seemed to have a strong aura, which made people dormant.

Sean was startled at first, then terrified, realizing that this is actually just a simple surround sound field technology, but it can exert a shocking effect, but it contains very clever psychology.

And Anping is also aware of this trivial skill at a glance.

"Mr. Zhang, thanks to your willingness to say 'old friend', I didn't want to laugh at you, but I really want to laugh at using this trick on old friends."

The next moment, the voices from all directions suddenly subsided, leaving only a sigh at the end of the corridor and behind the door.

"Have you ever heard an old saying: It is better not to see an old friend when they meet?"

"Since you've heard it before, why bother to make it a 'meeting of old friends'?"

While Anping was talking, he had already passed twenty flights of stairs, and easily pushed the half-covered wooden door open.

There was an empty space behind the door, the snow-white floor stretched all the way forward, extending out a small square with a diameter of nearly 100 meters!

There are transparent glass windows on all sides, allowing you to have a 360-degree view of every corner of Tianxuan District.

At the other end of the square, there is a disproportionately large desk, and a fierce throne with a hideous silhouette and a tense temperament. A gray-haired middle-aged man sat on a throne that was more than three meters wide, and he looked like a small doll against the background.

However, until the three of Anping walked to the desk and could condescendingly look down at Mr. Zhang sitting on the throne, he still didn't say a word.

Anping knocked on the desk: "We meet old friends, don't you want to say something?"

Mr. Zhang raised his eyelids: "It's you who came to see me, or you should talk first."

"The goods of [Silver] were stolen, and they are on your territory."

Mr. Zhang smiled: "If you want to comfort, I can give you a piece of candy, but if you don't want to comfort, I don't understand your logic. Your things have been stolen. If you don't look for them, come What do you want me for? Do you suspect that I stole it?"

Anping said, "I suspect you know who stole it."

Mr. Zhang laughed again: "At least hundreds of thousands of people in the [Tianxuan] district know who stole your goods. Even if you go to the bar and ask the etiquette robot, you can get the answer. Why come to the old friend?"

"Because the etiquette robot in the bar won't help us find someone."

Mr. Zhang asked: "Then why should I help you find it?"

"On your territory, a gang of thieves committed crimes continuously, and even stole from [Baiyin]. Why do you think you want to find someone for us?"

Speaking of this, Anping's tone gradually became sharper.

"As the person in charge of the district, you can argue that you can't take care of these trivial matters on weekdays, but the person in charge of your division is always duty-bound, right?"

Mr. Zhang nodded slowly: "That makes sense. I remember that [Silver] was lost in the seventh district, so let the person in charge of the seventh district talk to you."

As he said that, Mr. Zhang was about to press the communicator on the table, but Anping shook his head: "No need, my people have already finished talking with him."

Then, Anping took the initiative to pick up his own communicator and asked, "Uncle Xu, what did the person in charge of District Seven say?"

"Oh, he said 'forgive me, I can't help myself'."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang's complexion suddenly changed.

Anping smiled, and continued to the communicator: "The person in charge of the dignified division, who is at the top of [Tianxuan Yudong], now says that he can't help himself, don't you think it's ridiculous? I think he is bullying your appearance. Boss, deliberately talking nonsense. You have to talk to him carefully, after all, Mr. Zhang ordered this."

Mr. Zhang stood up abruptly: "Anping!"

In the communicator, Xu Bo's voice sounded leisurely: "Captain, I have already negotiated here, and the next person in charge of the seventh district can come and continue the discussion with me."

Anping put down the communicator and said to Mr. Zhang: "How about it, do you want to arrange the next appointment?"
