Chapter 190 Shameless
Upon hearing Jing Chengye’s words, Jing Chunyu suddenly let out a dry laugh. His eyes instinctively glanced at Jing Yan.
"Jing Yan, managing the South District Market, how do you feel about that?" Jing Chengye also looked at Jing Yan and asked with a smile.
The South District Market was gained by Jing Yan after he killed Zhao Zhenyan, the son of Family Head Zhao. Assigning its management to Jing Yan was only appropriate. Moreover, although Jing Yan was only at the Early Innate Realm in terms of cultivation, he was able to kill Zhao Zhenyan, who was in the Late Innate Realm, proving his formidable strength was sufficient to manage a market.
Furthermore, Jing Yan evidently had a close relationship with the City Lord. With Jing Yan there, who would dare cause trouble in the South District Market?
Jing Chengye and the others all knew that Jing Yan had some connection with City Lord Huo Chunyang. Otherwise, why would the City Lord have called Jing Yan aside when they were preparing to leave the City Lord Mansion today?
Hearing the Clan Leader’s words, Jing Yan was also startled.
To be honest, he hadn’t expected the Clan Leader to plan on handing over the South District Market to him for management. Although it was true the South District Market was won by him directly, the Jing Family had also wagered the West District Square.
Jing Yan certainly knew how immense the profits from managing a market could be. A market could generate at least millions of Spirit Stones in profit a year, and the market manager could skim nearly ten percent of that, amounting to about one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. The businesses and buildings in the market would also certainly pay tribute to the market’s manager, yielding substantial benefits.
Otherwise, why would Jing Chunyu, that old fox, be so eager to meddle with the South District Market?
Jing Yan was somewhat surprised, and most others felt the same.
However, the majority didn’t harbor any resentment. After all, the South District Market was won by Jing Yan, and handing it over to him for management wasn’t unreasonable.
"How could this be?" Jing Chunyu immediately spoke out in opposition.
