Shopkeeper Wu's words surprised Huo Yunqi, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The relationship between people does not necessarily need to last forever. Sometimes, with just a look or a few words, you can know roughly what the other person is thinking.
Huo Yunqi can somewhat feel Shopkeeper Wu's attitude towards him. Although the other party has to step forward because of the favor, how to help and how to help each other can be continued to be refined.
Originally, Huo Yunqi thought that Shopkeeper Wu would just sit back and watch, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually introduce another friend to him at this time. This was a real surprise.
"Thank you, uncle." Huo Yunqi's face beamed with joy, and his thanks showed a little more sincerity.
Shopkeeper Wu's vanity was greatly satisfied. He asked the other party to continue drinking tea. After about a stick of incense, there was movement outside the door.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
Clear laughter came from outside the door. The two stood up. Shopkeeper Wu enthusiastically went forward to welcome the other party in: "Brother Zhu, we meet again after a long separation. You still have the same style."
Huo Yunqi followed behind and calmly began to look at the person who entered the room. He was wide and fat, with a rich look on his face. He looked kind and easy to get along with, but he didn't know what he was like on the inside.
"Come on, please take a seat." After the shopkeeper Wu warmly invited him to take a seat, he stepped aside and introduced Huo Yunqi: "This boss Zhu was once a powerful figure in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a wise nephew. , you can’t neglect it.”
Huo Yunqi understood, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Huo Yunqi has met Boss Zhu."
Boss Zhu quickly looked at Huo Yunqi, calmed down a little, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Huo, you're welcome, please take a seat."
Huo Yunqi did not hide his identity. As the former heir of Sword Making Villa, even if his family business declined, his temperament was like gold in the sand and could not be concealed no matter what.
Now that Boss Zhu has met the real person, he has truly confirmed that Shopkeeper Wu did not deceive him. He is instantly satisfied and even smiles a lot more.
Looking at Huo Yunqi in front of him, Boss Zhu couldn't help but lament the impermanence of the world.
I think back then, a few unknown disciples of Zhujian Villa could force him to return to his hometown to retire. Now, even the once aloof master Huo Shao has to deal with them in a condescending manner.
However, although there had been rifts in the past, Boss Zhu's mind and vision were wider than Shopkeeper Wu's, so he would not fall into the wrong situation at this time.
When the guests arrived, the banquet began. The three of them exchanged glasses. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, it was finally time to get down to business.
"I heard that Mr. Huo plans to develop in Dongdu. It's true that a hero comes out of a young man." Boss Zhu picked up his wine glass and praised.
"Boss Zhu is so complimentary. This junior really deserves it." Huo Yunqi naturally understood what he said. He quickly put a bit of sadness on his face: "To be honest, the water in Dongdu is deep, and this junior has rashly set foot here. Now, Being in a dilemma is the time to worry.”
"Is this happening?" Boss Zhu pretended to be surprised and said, "Although Mr. Huo is now trapped in the shoals of the dragon, I'm sorry to Zhujian Villa. The power behind the young master still exists, so why can't he enter a mere eastern capital?"
Huo Yunqi smiled bitterly. Boss Zhu's words were exaggerated and flattering, and he was praised a little too highly.
Although the Huo family is in decline, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Huo Yunqi himself is also one of the most talented young people in the world. At least in terms of martial arts, few people in the Eastern Capital would want to easily provoke him.
But the business world is different from the world of martial arts. The latter requires fame, fortune, power, and martial arts, while the former not only requires all of the latter, but also crucially emphasizes another important point, money.
It's funny to say that when Zhujian Villa still existed, Huo Yunqi was worried about money every day. Now that his father has passed away, the whole family is either in trouble or flying away, leaving only him, and this one The trouble in the future is still related to the money.
I have to sigh, it is really hateful and terrible that fate plays tricks on people.
Huo Yunqi and the Huo family cannot easily return to the world now, so they have to find another way to do business, but if they want to take this path, money is essential.
After the Rising Sun Escort Bureau disappeared, it would not be difficult with Huo Yunqi's ability to gain a foothold in the turbulent Eastern Capital, but the prerequisite for doing so was that he had to have enough start-up capital.
It's embarrassing to say that Zhujian Villa had already been unable to make ends meet when it was still in existence. It was normal to tear down the east wall to pay for the west wall. Now that he is here, he can only prepare a few hundred taels of silver by scraping together here and there.
This money, if we don't talk about reviving the Huo family and living in another place, is enough for Huo Yunqi to live the life of a young master for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he has great ambitions and cannot simply choose to sink.
Among the Huo family's connections, there are many who are highly skilled in martial arts, but those who have spare money are very rare. This is why Huo Yunqi values Shopkeeper Wu so much.
Now that Boss Zhu is here, he seems to know something in his words, which is obviously intentional. Huo Yunqi thought about it and simply took a gamble on it.
"To be honest with you two seniors, after the Huo family has gone through many tribulations, they have already become strong on the outside and strong on the inside. The younger generation is determined to revive the family business. I only hate, only hate -" Huo Yunqi's face turned red. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it down before he elaborated. He sighed: "I just hate the lack of financial resources."
As a knight-errant with lofty ideals, Huo Yunqi's little dignity seemed to have been hit hard by a thorny hammer when he openly talked about lack of money.
Boss Zhu saw Huo Yunqi's expression in his eyes. Although this boy from the Huo family was extremely talented, he was still half a piece of rough jade. If he was given a few more years to refine it, he might not be able to become a great talent.
However, although Boss Zhu appreciates it, he has no intention of making any pointers. He came here today just to be entrusted by others.
So, Boss Zhu said with a smile: "It turns out that it's because of this matter that the young master is relieved. I still have a little bit of money on hand, so I don't dare to say that I can solve the urgent needs of the young master. It's just some thoughts. Please don't refuse."
"Seriously?" Huo Yunqi was a little surprised and hurriedly said: "Boss Zhu and I have just met each other for the first time, and Boss Zhu is willing to help me in times of need. I can't repay such kindness. If Boss Zhu is in trouble in the future, I will go through fire and water. Drink first as a token of respect."
Huo Yunqi stood up solemnly, filled his glass with wine, and lowered his hands to hold the gift. Boss Zhu quickly helped him up and said with shame: "Young master, you don't have to be like this. I am willing to help you because I have selfish motives. Since you are quick to talk to others, I won't hide it either." Tucked in."
After saying that, Boss Zhu greeted outside the house, and soon a boy came in with a package. He put it into Huo Yunqi's hands. After the latter untied it, he was immediately surprised.
"This is--!"
There was a broken sword placed in the package. Huo Yunqi recognized it. It was one of the swords made by Gu Ming, the master of the Sword Forging Villa, for the Hongchen guest, Yueying!
Faced with Huo Yunqi's seriousness, Boss Zhu explained: "This sword belongs to a friend of mine. I inquired in many ways and got the news that this sword came from the Sword Making Villa. I also asked Mr. Huo to spare no effort to recast this sword to make it more beautiful." All my friends wish."
