You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

"That's great! Thank you so much for your assistance."

Liang Zhendong looked excited and sincerely thanked Ye Qingzhou.

Next to him, Liu Lijuan and Liang Yawen were also pleasantly surprised. They thought they were about to make a fool of themselves in front of everyone, but the situation unexpectedly took a turn for the better.

Later, Ye Qingzhou produced an invitation letter and made a call to Zheng Zhiguang, perfectly resolving the matter.

Liang Yawen smiled sweetly and walked up to Ye Qingzhou with admiration all over her face, looking at him affectionately: "Ye Qingzhou, thank you so much."

Although she always felt Ye Qingzhou was destined for greatness, it wasn't until tonight, when Ye Qingzhou solved a problem with one phone call that her father couldn't resolve even after much effort, that Liang Yawen truly realized the weight of the "influence" Ye Qingzhou held.

Nowadays in Blue Star, powerful martial artists hold a social status and influence that businessmen cannot match.

Especially in Dongji Kingdom, so-called capitalists are nothing but a joke in face of the state and martial artists.

The government can crush a capitalist with any random policy, while a martial artist's wrath can make capitalists bleed in droves.

Liang Yawen gazed at Ye Qingzhou with deep affection, thinking he helped her family because he was interested in her.

Little did she know, Ye Qingzhou helped Liang Zhendong to subtly plant a "nail" in Linjiang Commerce Association.

It wasn't necessary for Liang Zhendong to serve him, yet there must be someone to gather intelligence and transmit messages. He couldn't stoop to doing such tedious work himself, could he?

Since Ye Qingzhou had joined Linjiang Commerce Association, it was natural for him to cultivate his own network and influence within it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't yield much benefit, and might someday be betrayed unknowingly.

"Younger Brother Ye!"

Zheng Zhiguang personally greeted him. After receiving the call, he immediately came over, giving Ye Qingzhou considerable respect.

Ye Qingzhou reciprocated, smiling as he stepped forward to shake hands with Zheng Zhiguang: "President Zheng, I'm sorry to intrude."

"Oh~ what are you talking about? We are all one family now; Xianyun Manor is your home from now on. You must not be courteous with me."

Zheng Zhiguang was very hearty, directly giving Ye Qingzhou the highest VIP treatment at Xianyun Manor. Essentially, every expense Ye Qingzhou would incur here would be covered by "Young Master Zheng," and Ye Qingzhou wouldn't need to spend a dime.

Ye Qingzhou nodded and smiled at Zheng Zhiguang's kindness, not refusing it.

After all, in social exchanges, Ye Qingzhou was unafraid of owing favors to others.

Should it come to pass that he couldn't repay, resorting to a modest gesture in return would suffice.

Liang Yawen was captivated listening from the side, marveling at Ye Qingzhou's charismatic profile as he chatted jovially with a business mogul.

The so-called martial art geniuses she knew during her studies in Modu were nothing compared to Ye Qingzhou.

After all, Zheng Zhiguang, the wealthiest man in Linjiang, with assets nearing fifty billion, was a bona fide business magnate and social elite.

But such a figure, when faced with Ye Qingzhou, had to call him brother, showing hints of flattery and ingratiation—a turn of events that utterly overturned Liang Yawen's worldview.

Yet, to Ye Qingzhou, all this seemed right and justified.

In the real world, all rules and order are often grounded in absolute power, turning those wielding such power into the creators and rulers of societal norms.

The martial artists of Blue Star have factually become controllers of power, naturally elevating their social status.

Two hundred years ago, with the appearance of Grotto Heaven and the emergence...or revival of martial arts, a dramatic reshuffling of international order across Blue Star ensued.

Any country rejecting the new order and marginalizing martial artists has either declined or perished, swept into the dustbin of history.

Regarding the power and status of martial artists, Western Pole Kingdom and Europe have gone further than Dongji Kingdom, as in both realms, martial artists are true uncrowned kings who can largely act as they please and disregard the law.

In contrast, martial artists in Dongji Kingdom adhere more closely to social order, presenting a unique rarity.

Ye Qingzhou introduced Liang Zhendong to Zheng Zhiguang: "President Zheng, Uncle Liang's family is my neighbor; he just returned from Modu and wants to develop his hometown."

Liang Zhendong had heard of Zheng Zhiguang's fame but was meeting him for the first time today, therefore he was very excited: "Hello, President Zheng, I am Liang Zhendong."

Zheng Zhiguang glanced at Liang Zhendong and then at Liang Yawen, evidently misunderstanding something, thus his tone towards Liang Zhendong became enthusiastic: "Ha ha, we are all one family from now on, welcome to join our big family in Linjiang Commerce Association."

"Thank you so much, President Zheng!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhendong was overjoyed. He had returned to his hometown, spent money currying favor with local powerhouses, yet nothing was accomplished.

If not for Ye Qingzhou lending a hand today, he estimated he'd end up embarrassed in public.

At this moment, he truly felt fortunate to have bought a house in Jiangshan Imperial View and gotten acquainted with Ye Qingzhou.

After all, Liang Zhendong wasn't foolish; Zheng Zhiguang clearly only brought him into Linjiang Commerce Association as a favor to Ye Qingzhou.

Otherwise, with Liang Zhendong's financial means and connections, he wouldn't have qualified at all.
