Chapter 131: Chapter 112: Accept the Escort!

“The Store Manager of Wanxin Trading Company?”

Inside the Ziyang Escort Agency, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea.

Hearing the servant’s report, they were both slightly startled.

“Wanxin Trading Company mainly deals in silk and cloth and also engages in finished garment trade. Its branches not only cover the Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays, but also extend outward, penetrating deep into the territories of Wusheng Hall and Heavenly Blade Sect.

“They always have their own team for the transportation of goods, but they request escort from escort agencies for cooperation.

“The main reason is that escort agencies have a wide reach and network, reducing conflicts.”

Yang Xiaoyun seemed very familiar with Wanxin Trading Company, and upon mentioning this, she smiled and asked, “Does the Chief know which escort agency they most often cooperated with before?”

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, “Heavenly Gate Escort Agency?”

“Exactly.”

Yang Xiaoyun was somewhat curious, “How did you know?”

“You’ve said so much; it’s clear that Wanxin Trading Company isn’t a small player. How could such a company cooperate with just any ordinary escort agency?

“Among the three major escort agencies in Luoxia City—Yangwei, Heavenly Gate, Iron Blood—Yangwei Escort Agency is doing well; there’s no clear reason for them to suddenly stop cooperation.

“As for Iron Blood Escort Agency… Although Uncle Yang is currently engrossed in the disputes within Phoenix Alliance, it still holds a reputation strong as iron. Even if neither you nor Uncle Yang show up, just the display of the Iron Blood Flag would earn respect from the Jianghu experts wherever it goes.

“But only Heavenly Gate Escort Agency has fallen drastically since Ji Wanli’s demise.”

“You are indeed astute.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded, “Wanxin Trading Company has always been financially supported by the Heavenly Gate Escort Agency, but whether to meet them or not is something you need to carefully consider. They might not necessarily come with honest intentions…”

The situation was not hard to understand.

“Although the Heavenly Gate Escort Agency has indeed plummeted, Ji Feiyang is still there, but whether he can hold up the flag of the escort agency is still debatable.

“At this juncture, Wanxin Trading Company has no reason to gamble the safety of their merchandise.

“But if they cooperate with both Iron Blood and Yangwei, they risk setting a definitive alliance, making it extremely difficult to change later.

“Now, Ziyang Escort Agency has suddenly emerged, and given my newly gained reputation in Xuanji Valley and some influence in the Southwest, it becomes the best choice to both maintain face and wait for the results from Ji Feiyang’s side—without the fear of a too-dominant escort agency exploiting them…”

Su Mo lightly shook his head, “As you can see, being a smaller escort agency has its own advantages.”

“Stop it, if it weren’t for your fame from the battle at Xuanji Valley, why would we have such business coming to us? Whether to meet or not, it all depends on your decision.”

“See them, of course, we should meet.”

Su Mo said with a smile, “Such a major business should definitely be engaged with, there’s no reason to turn them away… Invite them to the front hall for tea, and tell them I’ll be there shortly.”

The servant agreed and left.

Yang Xiaoyun lifted her teacup and took a sip, “But the fact that the Store Manager of Wanxin Trading Company came himself indicates a not insignificant sincerity.”

“Perhaps he just feels that dealing with young people might save him from some hassle?”

“This…”

Yang Xiaoyun felt that Su Mo made some sense.

She was a bit helpless for a moment, “I always feel, life might be less interesting when you see through everything.”

“??”

Su Mo looked at her strangely, “How so?”

“Seeing through everything so clearly.”

Yang Xiaoyun said, “It’s like you’ve lost the impulsiveness and passion of young people, making you seem so worldly wise and inducing sympathy.”

Su Mo rubbed his nose, then suddenly grinned, “Sister Yun, how about I take you out for a drink tonight?”

“…”

Yang Xiaoyun stared dumbfounded at Su Mo.

Just when Su Mo thought he had tricked her successfully, he saw Yang Xiaoyun slap her thigh, “That’s great!”

“???”

Su Mo was startled.

“I’ve been wanting to go, but I couldn’t by myself. If you take me, that would be much easier!”

Yang Xiaoyun was bursting with excitement, “A gentleman’s word, fast as a steed, we’re going out tonight!”

“…”

Su Mo suddenly felt that what Yang Xiaoyun had just said was nonsense.

Seeing everything so clearly? Clearly, bullshit!

I can’t see through you at all!!

What kind of girl gets excited about going out for a drink?

What do you really want to do!!?

While Su Mo mentally ranted, seeing Yang Xiaoyun practically ready to rocket with excitement, he quickly said, “Let’s go, the Store Manager must be getting anxious.”

Only then did Yang Xiaoyun reluctantly allow herself to be dragged away.

Of course, the Store Manager wasn’t feeling anxious.

He was a complacent and leisurely man, always believing in the merit of slow and meticulous work, far from fretting over a moment or two.

Lifting his teacup, he began to assess the layout of the Ziyang Escort Agency hall.

After a moment, he gave a somewhat meager inner assessment.

But that was understandable.

After all, Su Mo was famously reckless during his younger days in Luoxia City, leading to his family’s decline—a common knowledge.

Yet unexpectedly, he suddenly soared to great heights.

Such wonders of the Jianghu were beyond extraordinary.

And his own personal visit this time, the reason was mostly guessed accurately by Su Mo.

Su Mo was reckless in his youth and still relatively young now, yet already a famed figure.
