Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

"This guy's goods are defective and will damage other customers' merchandise, causing the dock to keep paying compensation..."

Scott remained surprisingly calm in the face of Su Chang's accusations, as he had been prepared for them.

He felt incredibly satisfied watching these people being completely fooled by him and unable to find any evidence!

After all that trouble, they ended up damaging Scott's goods.

Faced with Scott's threat, Su Chang had no choice but to apologize to him, no matter how unwilling she was.

"...Yes, I'm sorry."

Chapter 49 Trying to Cheat?

(Thanks to Gray Silver Sand for the 5 update reminder tokens!!! Thank you to Cao Pi (Emperor's Decree) for the milk tea!!! Thank you to You Mu Ri Yue Ming An for the likes!!! Thank you everyone for your continued support!!!)

"Mmm..."

The thought of being tricked by that annoying guy named Scott made Su Chang grit her teeth.

"Mmm..."

Xing also started gritting her teeth, just like Su Chang.

"Mmm...!"

Su Chang hummed even louder.

Seeing the two of them like this, Mingxi said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I didn't even get a chance to speak."

“My mother told me that as long as I master a skill, others will be able to reason with me… It seems that my skills are not yet sufficient.” Su Chang’s tone was low.

I should have practiced my sword more often during regular sword practice.

"Before the repayment date arrives, I need to teach you two how to argue—no… how to debate! Let's go find the chairman."

The meeting room of the Market Development Department.

Oswaldo Schneider stared expressionlessly at everything that changed on the light screen, taking in even the smallest details and scraps that might be unconsciously overlooked.

Judging from the changes in time displayed on the light screen, Jinren Alley began to change dramatically within just a few days after the little girl named Xing joined the Chamber of Commerce.

This person's abilities should not be underestimated.

In the end, Scott will most likely lose this bet.

As for Potio...

There are plenty of people in the entire galaxy who want to kill him; a few threats are not enough to make him react.

Moreover, this sea patrol ranger is very convenient to use; you can dump some of the company's bad debts on him and leave him alone for the time being.

Time passed quickly, and soon, the repayment date for Jinren Lane arrived.

On the dock, Scott waited listlessly for the Chamber of Commerce to arrive.

Although he was certain he would win, the necessary procedures still needed to be followed, since the Tianbo Division was also present.

Finally, Xing arrived with Su Chang and her secretary.

Both sides were present, and Ms. Yuuki, representing Tianbo Company, announced the start of the debate.

"On behalf of Tianbo Company, I am mediating the rent dispute between Interstellar Peace Company and Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce."

"Does this even need coordination?" Scott bluntly expressed his disdain. "Let me be frank—the Chamber of Commerce should have been kicked out of Golden Man Alley long ago."

It's that guy again!

"Couldn't the company send a normal person to negotiate?" Su Chang couldn't help but complain.

"Huh? Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

"I said, is there no one else in the company?!"

"Ugh..." Scott quickly covered his ears. "This girl's voice is amazing. My eardrums are going to rupture."

"Phew, I hope you'll apologize to me just as loudly as you did earlier!"

"As the company's business representative, my attendance at this negotiation is legal, reasonable, and justified! Who does your Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce intend to send? A passing Yunqi Army soldier? A cowardly chairman who has vanished without a trace?..."

His gaze swept over Su Chang and the secretary, finally settling on Xing.

"Is this the girl you guys dragged in at the last minute, the one who looks like someone owes her fifty credits?"

A heated debate ensued.

First, Scott's side argued that the Golden Lane Chamber of Commerce was unable to pay its rent and had long since lost the right to operate the dock.

Faced with Scott's aggressive tactics, Star offered the rent from the Golden Man Lane docks, which was the most direct result of the Golden Man Lane revitalization plan.

"W-what?! You actually retaliated? How dare you?" Scott exclaimed incredulously.

Before he could even accept this fact, the representative of Tianbo Company immediately raised the Chamber of Commerce's questions: Representative Scott had been carrying out activities that were disrupting the dock's operations.

"Words are no proof; produce the evidence!"

"Besides, I don't participate in shipping goods at the dock. How could I possibly have bribed the dock merchants? That's ridiculous."

Faced with Scott's explanation, Xing smiled confidently and produced the confession he had recently obtained from dockworker Afeng.

At this moment, no matter how much Scott tried to argue, he had lost, completely lost.

"Don't forget our bet. You have to apologize to me in front of everyone!"

Su Chang pressed her advantage and attacked.

"No, why should I apologize to you!"

"Lord Scott, those two girls in the light screen seem to know a lot of high-ranking figures. Should we soften our stance a bit and just hand over Golden Man Alley to them?"

On the celestial boat aboard Luofu, Scott, who had just opened a bottle of champagne, was now looking at the names of those important figures in the chat room, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

But a deep-seated conviction within him sustained him, telling him of another possibility.

"What's the panic! One day I'll be a big shot, P45 or higher!" Scott said, forcing himself to speak.

Next time we meet, maybe I should just use the sliding rails...

No, if he gives in so easily, how can he climb the ranks? He's a lone wolf!

Damn it, if it weren't for that nameless stranger named Xing, Jinren Alley would have been a dish on his table long ago!

At worst, I'll just bark like a dog in front of the entire universe!

Chapter 50 On the Immortal Ship, I could hear the sounds of all sorts of animals.

Scott's attempt to cheat finally ignited Su Chang's anger.

"Just because you trampled on the efforts of others, just because you used dirty tricks!" After saying this, Su Chang turned to look at the crowd of people from Jinren Lane who had come to watch. "If my apology can make the people who love Jinren Lane feel less disheartened, I will apologize a hundred times, a thousand times!"

"But now, you're the one who should apologize!"

Su Chang looked directly at Scott, her eyes showing no trace of her previous embarrassment.

"I...I'm sorry to Jinren Lane..."

Was it for the company's reputation, or just a last vestige of "goodwill" in his heart? Well, that's even less likely.

He's willing to accept defeat!

Scott uttered an apology in a low, hoarse voice.

"Ha—I can't hear you, speak louder." Xing put her hands on her hips.

The onlookers were also watching Scott closely, determined to make him shout an apology.

"I...I want to apologize to the people of Jinren Lane—"

Scott went all out!

"I'm a blind fool! I'm arrogant and ignorant, all I do is bark and howl!"

Xing nodded; she was satisfied with Scott's apology, but—

"You haven't learned to bark like a dog yet?"

Even Su Chang was taken aback by these words.

"...Do we really have to do this?" she asked softly.

Unlike Su Chang, the onlookers naturally enjoyed the spectacle and urged her on.

“Hohohohoho…”

Old Aude, holding his wine glass, laughed.

"A junior employee in the company? An interesting kid."

In Scott's every word, action, and glance, old Otto saw something familiar, such as...

"Ah—enough!"

Scott, who had been silent, suddenly roared.

Upon hearing that sound, everyone assumed he was trying to back out. After all, barking like a dog in front of so many people was rather embarrassing.

Let's leave it at that, it's just a pity there's not enough...

"Woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!"

The sudden barking of the dog was deafening.

Even Scott's staff were startled by him.

However, Scott's performance was not over yet.

"Woof woof, howl—"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he began barking again, this time even more realistically than the first time, more like a real dog.

Su Chang covered her mouth in surprise.

Unable to bear it any longer, the representative of the Tianbo Company called for the performance to be stopped.

Scott left the dock dejectedly.

The dock's debt crisis has temporarily subsided, but the revival of Golden Man Alley has only just begun.

“I think you Memory Makers should record more memories like this. It’s quite interesting, isn’t it?” Sand Gold said jokingly, looking at the black swan beside him.

The black swan did not respond to this.

But her expression already gave the answer.

If she were really forced to record such uninteresting memories, she would simply discard them to incinerators after she finished.

Yiting does not collect garbage.

"Alright, enough joking around." Seeing that Black Swan didn't want to answer, Sand Gold started to get down to business.

"Well? That wandering swordsman, have you found out anything?"

"Do you people from the Immortal Ship have any sense of reason at all?"

"Hehe, I get it now~ In your words, this is called 'profiteering from someone's misfortune,' right?"

"I'm just talking to you about reason now!"

Not far away, Xing and others, who had temporarily returned from Pinocchio to the Immortal Ship to participate in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony, followed Yan Qing to the Bureau of Works.

But that strange voice just now sounded so familiar, it seemed like I had heard it before in Jinren Alley?

“I’ve never dealt with anyone from your Tianbo Company before, and I’m used to your difficult and unreasonable ways,” the familiar voice continued. “But now you’re openly robbing the company’s goods. Isn’t that a bit too much?”

"We've said it so many times, as long as the security check is completed, we'll let it through. Are you deaf or just not thinking straight?" The staff member from Tianbo Company complained helplessly.

“I heard it very clearly, and I understand it very well! To put it bluntly: it’s hopeless!”

"If you continue to withhold my goods, I will file a lawsuit directly with your general!"

As arrogant and domineering as ever, and with that strange, sarcastic air, she knew who it was.

"I think I heard a dog barking," Xing said softly, but her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"Damn it! Who are you calling a dog? Oh...it's you again?!"
