When Xin Yu heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

If the phone number from the King's Mansion was not to his father, why did it come to him instead?

But he quickly calmed down, and under Xin Sheng's gaze, he picked up the phone and clicked on the speakerphone.

The call was brief and ended quickly.

The father and son sat in the back seat of the car, trying to figure out the purpose of the call.

Xin Sheng narrowed his sharp eyes like a falcon, "Why does Gong Shouze suddenly have the leisure to invite you to tea?"

"yes."

Xin Yu couldn't understand either.

But they all knew that Gong Shouze's intention was definitely not as simple as drinking tea.

While he was still thinking, he heard Xin Sheng instruct the driver, "Old Zhou, go to the Lord's Mansion."

"Father?" Xin Yu looked at him in surprise, "Are you going too?"

"Um!"

Xin Yu was arrested into the King's Mansion last time. Because his father was worried about his son, Xin Sheng didn't trust him to go alone.

"But--"

After weighing the matter, Xin Yu spoke cautiously: "The Imperial Palace deliberately bypassed you and notified me directly. Isn't it because they don't want you to be present?"

He paused and continued: "Father, just let me go alone. No matter what the Gong family has planned, my son can handle it."

Xin Sheng stared at him solemnly, and for a while, a faint look of relief appeared on his face.

He changed his words and said, "I'll take you there."

Xin Yu did not refuse.

In the palace of the king.

Qin Shu and Chu Linchen accepted Gong Shouze's praise in the reception hall.

Qin Shu got a banner embroidered with "Benevolence and Benevolence".

It is not unusual to send a banner, but it is a banner sent by the majestic master of a country, which is of great significance and precious.

Every word on it was written by Gong Shouze himself, and then processed by skilled craftsmen using gold weaving techniques. Every gold thread on it is made of real gold.

Such a "heavy" banner was framed with rosewood, and it was difficult for the two guards to carry it.

This honor from the royal family is to be taken back and hung on the wall.

For Qin Shu, it actually didn't make much sense, and he would worry about it falling and hitting his head from time to time.

In contrast, the reward Chu Linchen received was more special and more direct——

It is a royal appointment letter.

Gong Shouze actually wanted to use his position as president of the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for Chu Linchen serving the royal family.

Everyone knows that the current president of the Chamber of Commerce is Zhang Chengming, and Zhang Chengming's status in Kyoto's business community is undoubtedly No. 1.

Even if Gong Shouze used royal power to help Chu Linchen replace him, would those merchants whose interests are tied to each other accept it?

All in all, it's not that simple.

Qin Shu clearly felt Chu Linchen's embarrassment.

This letter of appointment is simply a hot potato.

Fortunately, Gong Shouze did not ask Chu Linchen to give an answer immediately.

He said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I value your talent very much. In my opinion, only you can take on this important responsibility. I solemnly assure you that this letter of appointment is valid for a long time. After you have considered it, you can tell us at any time

It's your decision."

Chu Linchen accepted the letter of appointment without being humble or arrogant, nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord."

His cold and dignified face showed no trace of his thoughts.

Gong Shouze is confident in this. No ambitious entrepreneur will refuse the opportunity to climb up.

The young man in front of me is no exception.

At this time, Qiu Bing walked in and stood silently beside Gong Shouze.

Gong Shouze understood and said to Chu Linchen: "That's it for today."

Then he turned to Qin Shu and said, "Vice President Yuan, I still have something to talk to you about alone."
