My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 212 - 209 Thanks to Jiangbei Old Tie for sending the beef

Jiangnan, Governor Mansion!

"Finally, I showed that woman what I'm capable of! It feels great!"

The rich woman from Lu Wu's house, having put down her queenly facade, laughed like a girl with a face blooming with smiles.

It wasn't easy at all!

Jiang Yuexing had fallen out with that woman over some matter more than twenty years ago.

Ever since then, Jiang Yuexing was always the one being bullied.

She was bullied from all sides.

After she took up the post of Governor in Jiangnan, that woman took direct control of Jiangbei and continued to bully her for five years, resulting in Jiangnan also becoming a miserable mess.

This was the first time in many years that Jiang Yuexing gained the upper hand.

Lu Wu had just finished live-streaming his trump card.

Without saying a second word, Jiang Yuexing took immediate action and brought down Lin Huai and Jiang Beifeng.

Yes, it was her behind-the-scenes push that led to Lin Huai's downfall.

If it weren't for her, it wouldn't have been so easy for Lin Huai to fall, let alone so quickly.

Having taken down Lin Huai, Jiang Yuexing felt she had won a great victory. She was so delightfully happy that she was like the simple-minded daughter of a rich landlord.

However, at that moment, the woman in white threw cold water on her excitement.

"You shouldn't get too happy too soon. That one probably doesn't care about Lin Huai's fate at all.

For her, it's easy to replace Lin Huai and support someone else in his place.

It wouldn't take much effort!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuexing's excited expression dissipated a lot.

She knew that the situation in Jiangbei was different from Jiangnan.

Or rather, their control over their respective territories was different.

Jiang Yuexing had been employed for five years, she had been a figurehead until this year when she finally managed to obtain some power.

Whereas, that woman had been in Jiangbei for twenty years, already having significant control over Jiangbei, and after Jiang Yuexing took office in Jiangnan, that woman took complete control over Jiangbei.

Nowadays, Jiangbei was practically that woman's little kingdom, where her word was even more effective than the Alliance's.

Dismissing a President of Jiangbei University was no difficult feat for her.

Without this level of control, she wouldn't have been so confident in these years to think about annexing Jiangnan to become the Governor of both provinces.

Nevertheless, having gained the upper hand for the first time, Jiang Yuexing was still in a pretty good mood.

"Regardless, being able to take down a President of Jiangbei University, making a good profit on the side, and causing a headache for Jiangbei, I am quite satisfied with the outcome."

Feeling quite pleased, she even considered whether she should be nicer to Lu Wu.

...

Elsewhere, over in Jiangbei.

Jiang Yuexing was right; many people in Jiangbei were indeed having a headache.

Lin Huai had fallen, but a complete mess was left behind.

Issues still needed to be resolved.

Now facing Jiangbei were two problems.

One was the compensation issue with Lu Wu.

The other was pacifying customers who had bought "White Bone Wild Boar Soup."

Firstly, with Lin Huai admitting to plagiarism before his downfall, Jiangbei would have to provide corresponding compensation.

Even though Shi Ying had taken the blame, Jiangbei had profited from the plagiarised cultivation program, so Lu Wu had every right to demand compensation.

Simultaneously with Shi Ying's confession,

Jiang Yuexing immediately sent a letter in the name of Lu Wu to Jiangbei.

She demanded compensation for Lu Wu's financial losses, reputation damage, emotional distress, among other expenses, totaling 1,432,111 points.

Over a million points, down to the last decimal.

The second issue of customer appeasement was even more crucial.

Although the customers' financial losses were around three to four million, beyond the financial aspect, they suffered a greater loss: contract loss.

Because of a cultivation plan, their Summoned Beasts were ruined.

Faced with a choice, they could either accept it and spend a lifetime taking care of an Elite 0 Star Summoned Beast or abandon the White Bone Wild Boar and form a new Contract with another Summoned Beast.

Neither choice was easy, both carrying heavy consequences.

Therefore, some customers had already demanded that the Jiangbei Cultivation Center must compensate them five times their losses.

Now, these two financial responsibilities were weighing down on the Jiangbei Cultivation Center, leaving its executives in hot water.

Their headache was not that they couldn't afford the compensation.

The Jiangbei Cultivation Center had the money; they just didn't want to part with it.

On one hand, they felt that since Lin Huai caused the issue and he had already been removed, there was no reason for his team to foot his bill.

On the other hand, it was also a consideration for the high-ups of the Jiangbei Cultivation Center.

Following Lin Huai's downfall, Zhou Kai, the former second-in-command, was now managing the Professional Center.

He was beginning to sense that the situation behind the scenes was orchestrated by that woman.

So, at this point, how he handled this mess was critical.

It would directly affect whether he could become permanent.

If he did well and satisfied her, he could be confirmed in his position; if he didn't, he might just bite the dust.

Therefore, after much hesitation, Zhou Kai adopted a particularly damaging solution.

Lu Wu's live stream ended on the third day.

The Jiangbei Cultivation Center made a statement again, claiming they would assume full responsibility for the incident and expressed their intention to compensate those whose interests were damaged in the event to the best of their ability.

What a beautiful statement that was; it brought tears to people's eyes and made them sigh at how Jiangbei was still full of good people after all.

But then, Jiangbei's tune changed.

They said that due to the previous head, Lin Huai, embezzling and occupying the Professional Center's funds year after year, the center's finances were in difficulty and might not be able to compensate everyone's losses all at once, so they could only do it in batches.

The victims felt that this was also understandable.

It was quite an achievement for Jiangbei to straighten out their attitude in such a short amount of time.

They didn't expect Jiangbei to compensate everyone in one fell swoop anyway; giving out a little bit to each person in batches would suffice.

After receiving the victims' understanding, Jiangbei quickly set about dealing with the compensation issue and soon posted a compensation list.

Almost all clients were considered, and each would initially get 300 points, totaling 4,677 people, amounting to an expenditure of 1.4 million points.

Looking at this list, the victims were not very satisfied, but they could accept it and looked forward to receiving their first installment of compensation.

But, just when Jiangbei had whet their appetite for the compensation, in less than half a day, they issued another statement.

They announced that due to unforeseen circumstances, Jiangbei would delay compensating their clients.

Just this one short sentence, with no explanation of the reasons.

Now, the victims all exploded, surrounding the Jiangbei Cultivation Center.

They demanded an explanation.

But even faced with this situation, Jiangbei said nothing about the reason and simply kept pleading that they would definitely compensate, but needed a bit more time.

Second-in-command Zhou Kai personally came out to play the victim, even kneeling and apologizing on the spot to a crowd of non-professionals as both a Master Level Summoned Beast and a Master Level Cultivation Master.

For such a big shot to go to this extent, what more could the clients, the victims, say?

They just had to pinch their noses and accept it.

Yet, as they were begrudgingly accepting this, a rumor started to spread.

"Did you hear? They say that the reason Master Zhou Kai is delaying our compensation is that the guy named Lu from Jiangnan is demanding compensation from Jiangbei!

He's claiming that Jiangbei copied his plan and profited from it, so he's asking Master Zhou Kai for a compensation of over 1.4 million points."

"What? Is this news true or false?"

"Master Zhou Kai had agreed to compensate us and then suddenly canceled it, and he was forced to kneel and apologize, what do you think?"

"So Master Zhou Kai just gave it to him like that?"

"His foster mother is the Governor of Jiangnan, what could Master Zhou Kai do?"

"Well, well, well, what a Governor of Jiangnan, what a Lu Wu.

That despicable wretch knew there were problems with the cultivation plan and said nothing, already caused us so much misery, and now he even dares to come and compete with us for compensation?

No way, we can't let him bully us like this, we have to confront him!"

"Right, let's demand answers from him, he must explain himself to us!"

...

With Zhou Kai's performance, the already angry people were easily ignited, and their fury was quickly redirected towards Lu Wu.

That very day, hundreds upon hundreds rushed to Jiangnan to confront Lu Wu for an explanation.

Within the Professional Center, a group of executives who saw this effect eagerly gathered around Zhou Kai to flatter him.

"With this, not only is Jiangbei's reputation restored, but you've also cleverly dealt with the mob outside. Dean Zhou, your move was truly brilliant."

"Dean Zhou is indeed worthy of being Dean Zhou, far more astute than Lin Huai."

"Don't compare Lin Huai with our Dean Zhou, Lin made such a mess out of a small issue and still needed Dean Zhou to clean up after him—how could he be compared to him?"

These executives were acting like real bootlickers.

However, there were also those who were more restrained and pragmatic.

"But now, do we really have to give Lu Wu the 1.4 million-plus points compensation?"

At the mention of points, the executives all quieted down and looked at Zhou Kai, who was well-prepared.

"We definitely have to give something, but it doesn't necessarily have to be money. Didn't Lin Yuan leave behind a herd of Iron Armor Bulls?

I remember when Lin Yuan bought this batch; he spent more than 1 million, right? Just give Lu Wu this herd at a discounted price of 1.4 million!"

As soon as Zhou Kai mentioned this, the executives on the spot burst into laughter.

This herd of bulls were indeed bought by Lin Huai for two to three million, but that didn't mean they were worth that much now.

Lin Huai had been taken advantage of when White Bone Wild Boar Soup was at its peak, artificially inflating prices—it was then that he got fleeced.

But now, with Lin Huai gone and the White Bone Wild Boar Soup craze over, the value of these bulls naturally plummeted.

Previously, Lin Huai had tried everything to sell them but failed, and now they were of no use to Jiangbei.

Unsellable and even necessitating the construction of a pasture to keep them, which was both costly and burdensome, and wouldn't bring in much money, it was better to just pass them to Lu Wu.

As for whether Lu Wu would want them or not?

Did that matter? Jiangbei was going to give them regardless—take it or leave it!

At Zhou Kai's command, Jiangbei immediately had the herd of bulls sent to Lu Wu.

On Lu Wu's end, he was stunned when he heard the news.

"What's going on? They're sending me a herd of Iron Armor Bulls? Is Jiangbei really that generous?

Don't tell me they didn't know that the White Bone Wild Boar Soup's plan was undisclosed and that I had a solution?"

After giving it some thought, a smile curved Lu Wu's lips: "Well, I did keep quiet about that, but anyway, I should still thank the Jiangbei Old Tie for the herd of bulls.

Mmm, the Jiangbei Old Ties are really such good people."
