Chapter 82: Moon Man West Building
Chapter 82 Moon Man West Building
Being interrupted suddenly, Gu Changan impatiently knocked on the table in front of him a few times, then narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at the person who broke in without permission.
Judging from his appearance alone, the other party is a middle-aged man with a fairly elegant appearance, but... he can tell his character from the moment he opens his mouth, which is very rude and arrogant.
Ruan Youqing also looked a little unhappy when he saw the person who broke in suddenly.
Wait for him to say something... After Shunhe Chamber of Commerce, Ruan Youqing secretly recalled about this Chamber of Commerce in his heart.
Frowning slightly, Ruan Youqing gradually recalled that the owner of the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce seemed to be the number one family in Wuyun City, the head family.
The head of the Zong family...is not easy to get along with.
And... Judging from this person's tone, this middle-aged man doesn't seem to know their identities, otherwise no matter how arrogant a person is, he should restrain himself a little in front of them.
It's just that Ruan Youqing doesn't believe that Shouzheng can really listen to Gu Changan's words, and doesn't reveal their identities.
But they don't really care whether they say it or not.
Now, this person came suddenly, obviously he got the news from nowhere that someone wanted to buy grain and transport it to Jingbian.
Without going through their Chamber of Commerce, they are naturally not happy. After all...going directly past them would not be able to earn the kind of silver that was stained with the blood and tears of the poor. The purpose of the existence of this kind of chamber of commerce is to squeeze the poor people as much as possible.
But it’s not easy to say whether there is something tricky in this, or if this person actually knows their identities, but pretends not to know because he wants to do something... This is enough to make people think and guard.
At this time, Xiao Deyin couldn't stand this kind of contempt, and he said angrily: "You still need to abide by your rules when buying food? Your Shunhe Chamber of Commerce can't cover the sky with one hand? Even if we don't go through your Chamber of Commerce, What can you... how?"
When the man heard that someone was even more arrogant than him, he laughed angrily and said:
"So what? You don't know what to do, you little girl, you should go and ask about our Shunhe Chamber of Commerce! Without the permission of our Chamber of Commerce, you are not allowed to buy grain in Wuyun City at will! What time is it now! Now Jingbian is in the right place. Famine! If you’re like this, we’re… um… anyway! Our Shunhe Chamber of Commerce said we can’t buy other people’s! Then you can’t buy other people’s!”
The other party was so unreasonable, and Xiao Deyin's face turned pale with anger.
Ruan Youqing's expression turned cold after hearing this, and he said softly, "There is a famine in Jingbian, but you secretly control the grain business. You insist on preventing others from purchasing grain and transporting it to Jingbian. What are you hiding?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his neck was stuck, and his face was flushed red: "Don't pour dirty water on us! What kind of thoughts can we have! Isn't it... um... Not..." He thought impatiently for a while. Can't find a good reason.
When Ruan Youqing wanted to continue talking, Gu Changan smiled lowly, then gave her a gentle look and said slowly, "If I don't go through the hands of your Shunhe Chamber of Commerce, you will how?"
The middle-aged man sneered coldly, then glanced threateningly at the scholar who stood quietly and had no sense of presence, and said with a disdainful grin:
"Without the permission of the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce, I sold grain to others privately. Boy, it seems unfamiliar to you. You must have just come to Wuyun not long ago, right? If you still want to continue doing business in Wuyun, I remind you not to contact the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce. Right. Otherwise...you are afraid of where you came from and where you are going.”
When the scholar heard this, not only was he not afraid of the other party's threat, he even raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly. After the smile, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Changan.
Gu Changan was also smiling, as if...he heard something very ridiculous.
The middle-aged man trembled naturally when he saw the other party like this: "You...you...what kind of attitude is this! You really don't take our Shunhe Chamber of Commerce seriously!"
Ruan Youqing watched the reaction and communication between Gu Changan and the scholar, and he was sure that the two must have a close relationship.
Seeing Gu Changan's casual demeanor, Ruan Youqing also relaxed, and picked up a cup of tea that had been poured in front of him.
This Shunhe Chamber of Commerce may really be nothing in front of Gu Changan.
Sure enough, Gu Changan pointed at the scholar with a smile. The scholar understood and rolled up his wide sleeves slightly. Afterwards, everyone saw that he was wearing a brown leather ring on his wrist. The edge of the leather ring was embroidered with a circle of gold thread, and a ruby the size of a fingernail was inlaid in the middle.
You know, it is very difficult to embroider gold thread on this kind of leather. Embroidering this beautiful circle of gold thread will definitely waste a lot. Not to mention the appearance of that ruby is even more extraordinary.
In short, this leather ring is very proud...
Xiao Deyin was a little puzzled by the other party's actions, but Ruan Youqing's eyes widened in secret surprise.
Just because... the leather ring worn by the other party is not an ordinary accessory, but a symbol of a certain organization.
The reason why she has this impression is because in her previous life, in order to help Li Yi ascend the throne smoothly, she needed a lot of silver support. So she has investigated several larger business organizations in Ning.
And the organization behind this leather ring is what she has always wanted to contact and cooperate with.
It's just that the other party's attitude towards her seems to have been a little vague.
Ruan Youqing pursed her lips lightly, trying to think of the name of this organization.
seems to be called…
"You... you are from the West Building?" The middle-aged man had already retreated to the door with a shocked expression on his face, and his tone trembled slightly.
Following the surprise of the middle-aged man, Ruan Youqing remembered that the organization she wanted to cooperate with was called Xilou.
The west building where the moon is full.
The West Building is not like the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce, it is just a commercial organization in a certain city.
It not only exists in Wuyun City, but also plays an important role in every city in Ningguo.
Even Guz Kingdom, Canglong Kingdom, and Nanting Kingdom all have shadows of the West Tower.
Usually, things in the West Building are actually very low-key. Therefore, when the Zong family established the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce, Xilou did not interfere with it.
Because the opponent is not afraid.
But because it was too low-key, the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce gradually became rampant. Because of the strength of the West Building, the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce had no strength to move it, and the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce became bigger and stronger, and the West Tower did not pay attention to it. Therefore, the two sides can say that they do not interfere with each other and go about their own business.
It's just that the clan's family has not thought of annexing the West Building, but such a move is simply like a mayfly shaking a tree. Therefore, in the eyes of Wu Yun's businessmen, Xilou is a special and mysterious existence that can be seen but cannot be touched, let alone tasted.
Ruan Youqing originally thought that Gu Changan was going to reveal his identity to confront the other party, but in the end...he moved out another "big rock".
The middle-aged man who smashed it fled.
After the scholar smiled and said his identity, the middle-aged man said he was sorry, then turned and ran away.
Although Xiao Deyin was very surprised by the other party's reaction, seeing his cowardice, he couldn't help laughing contemptuously: "It seems that he kicked on a rock."
When the scholar saw this, the expression on his face did not change, but he continued to turn to Gu Changan and said, "Young Master Gu, when are you going to leave?"
Gu Changan thought for a while before replying: "Tomorrow morning, this time I'm not going out for fun, it's better to have a tighter time."
"Then tomorrow morning, Bai Lian will be ready to wait for you at the gate of the city."
