I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The businessman named Zhang, who was trying to commit suicide, was stopped and fell to the ground crying, "Why save me? There's no point in living!"

"Everyone, please listen to me." Luo Qianhuai stepped forward and said, "My husband and I were saved by you all before, and we have been traveling together all the way. We can be considered to have a destiny with you all. We have said before that my husband's family also has a branch in Cangzhou. If you all trust us, let my husband send someone to collect all your goods. As for the price, we can also negotiate."

As she spoke, she put her arm around Mr. Mo's arm and pinched him secretly.

Master Mo understood that Luo Qianhuai's old soft-heartedness had struck again.

But to him, this was just a trivial matter.

He has always been cold and indifferent, and doesn't care about the joys and sorrows of these people. But if this can make her feel at ease and relieved, that's another matter.

Luo Qianhuai's words instantly made everyone's mood, which had already sunk to the bottom, feel expectant again.

Old Man Yan looked at Master Mo eagerly: "Master Mo, is what Lingzheng said true?"

The dormitory room was completely silent. Everyone held their breath and stared at Mr. Mo's thin lips, waiting for the decision that would come out.

Master Mo didn't keep them waiting for long.

"My wife's meaning is my meaning." He said calmly: "I will send someone to contact you later. You can prepare the goods and the list in advance and deliver directly in the afternoon."

Seeing the small merchants opening their mouths and seeming to want to say something, Master Mo added calmly, "Since we have known each other for a while, I would like to give you a little advice: once the transaction is completed, leave Cangzhou immediately, the sooner the better."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the words of thanks and praise from Yan Sou and others, and pulled Luo Qianhuai out of the foot shop and got on the carriage that had been waiting outside.

Yan Sou and the others didn't have to wait long. After a cup of tea, a fat businessman came outside with his accountant and several smart and capable assistants, claiming to be sent by Mr. Mo and wanted to trade with them.

Old Man Yan saw that the man was dressed in rich clothes and wore a large jade ring on his finger. He looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember his identity for a moment.

The shopkeeper of the foot shop was stunned at first when he saw the person coming, then he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he jumped up like a spring, trotted all the way to the person, and bowed deeply to the ground:

"It's really Boss Shen in person! Why would you come to a small place like Luancheng in person? And you even patronized my shop on purpose, which is really an honor for me!"

As he spoke, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and knelt down to wipe the dust off the other man's shoes.

"Our shop is shabby and dirty, and is not fit to receive distinguished guests. I hope you will forgive me..."

He moved very quickly. After wiping his shoes, he led the man to the best and most spacious table in the lobby, and kicked the waiter who was waiting there blankly on the butt:

"What are you looking at? Go get the tea, the small cake of tea that I treasure, and the Mei Ziqing tea set..."

"No need to bother." Boss Shen waved his hand, his tone and demeanor very approachable: "I'm just borrowing your store to discuss a business deal with someone."

As he spoke, he turned to Yan Sou and asked gently, "Have all the goods for your caravan been prepared?"

Since the moment the foot shop owner called out "Boss Shen", Mr. Yan had been in an incredible daze, and it was not until this moment that he came back to his senses: "Are you... Boss Shen from Fengfeng Commercial Bank?"

He had the good fortune to meet Boss Shen once by chance in the past. At that time, the other party was surrounded by people, and he could not even squeeze within five meters of him. He could only watch the other party go away, but the memory of that time has always remained in his heart.

I never thought that a wealthy businessman with such style and wealth would condescend to discuss business with someone like me.

As soon as these words came out, the small merchants sitting in the lobby immediately quieted down. They looked at each other and then began to discuss:

"Is it the Fengfeng Trading Company that I know? The Fengfeng Trading Company that has business throughout the five southeastern states and is involved in all industries?"

"Isn't it? Their big boss seems to be surnamed Shen. I heard that he rarely shows up. How big of a deal is this today that he would come here in person?"

"Hiss! Didn't the group surnamed Yan just arrive yesterday? Who are they to deserve such courtesy from Boss Shen?"

"I don't know what kind of luck this old man Yan has, to be able to climb up to such a high position as Boss Shen. It's really enviable!"

There were constant discussions around, but Mr. Yan and his companions were filled with excitement, as if they were floating in the clouds.

The reason was simple. Although Boss Shen was one of the top figures in Dayu Shopping Mall, he did not show any arrogance on their faces. He just casually glanced at the list of goods and decided on the purchase price - 50% higher than the highest price they expected.

If the remaining goods were sold at this price, not only would the taxes paid for entering the city be fully offset, there would also be a surplus of nearly 30%.

It is exactly equivalent to the income they expected to get before this trip.

Boss Shen was quick to set the price and was even quicker to settle the payment. He sent two of his subordinates to the yard to do a quick inventory, and the accountant behind him immediately pulled out a purse.

The payment was made in small pieces of Linzhi gold, which were of high quality and easy to carry. The money and goods were settled without any arrears.

It was not until Boss Shen politely said goodbye and left, and when Old Man Yan went out to see him off, that he asked the question that had been in his mind:

"Boss Shen, is that Mr. Mo a relative of yours?"

Boss Shen was about to get on the carriage when he suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, with a half-smile on his face.

"Everyone thinks that I am the boss of Fengfeng Commercial Bank, but in fact I am just a shopkeeper who helps others with their work. The real boss is actually someone else. Boss Yan is lucky enough to be able to travel with Mr. Mo. I believe he is not stupid. He should know what can be said and what must be buried in the heart for a lifetime."

The wheels rumbled and gradually moved away. Mr. Yan finally regained control of his facial muscles, put away the horror on his face, and returned to the store.

In the dormitory, all the merchants were still immersed in the joy of recovering what they had lost. They chatted happily and even suggested pooling money to find a restaurant to have a good meal and drink.

"Pack your luggage, we will leave soon." Mr. Yan said with a stern face: "Don't forget Mr. Mo's previous reminder."

Everyone disagreed.

"We have been sleeping in the open air and working hard these days. We were worried yesterday. We finally got the help of Mr. Mo and met the enthusiastic and generous Boss Shen. We have to let everyone relax and play around for two days and buy some local specialties."

"That's right. We came with a full load, so we can't go back empty-handed. We have to bring some more goods. Any profit is good."

"Besides, the three swordsmen have already resigned. We still have to find a few more reliable bodyguards, which won't be found in a short time."

What they said made sense. Old Man Yan also had some hope in his heart. He thought that although Mr. Mo had a powerful background, Cangzhou was the heartland of Dayu after all, and there would be no possibility of any major chaos. So he just dragged it on for a day or two.

On the morning of the fourth day, when everything was ready and the caravan was preparing to set off for return, trouble suddenly arose.
