"The Jinghai Chamber of Commerce is the property of the Mo family. Ever since the old patriarch handed the Chamber of Commerce over to Master Mo, business has been declining day by day. Master Mo is in a bad mood and beats and scolds the shopkeepers at will, causing panic among the people. My contract just expired, and I was disheartened and said goodbye to Master Mo. Unexpectedly, Master Mo refused to agree. Not only did he owe me half a year's salary, he also beat me up and threw me out of the Chamber of Commerce.
They threatened that anyone who dared to take me in would be an enemy of the Mo family. I was seriously injured, and no one dared to take me in. I was on the verge of death. Thanks to the kindness of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, they took me in and healed my injuries, so I came to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
"The Mo family accused me of being a traitor and hated not only me but also the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. "Alas, I've caused trouble for the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce now. If I'm not mistaken, they're here to destroy the Chamber of Commerce's reputation today," Shopkeeper Zhou said self-reproachfully.
"If someone hadn't stopped me, I would have skinned this traitor." Mo Yanhong kept cursing as he walked in front.
"Sir, why bother with him? He's just a dog raised by the Mo family. Business is more important." said the middle-aged guard beside him.
"That's right, let's let him go for now. After we take care of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, we will slowly deal with him." Mo Yanhong said after thinking for a while.
"Master Qiu, are you ready?" Mo Yanhong lowered his voice and asked the old man beside him. Mu Hanyan was not wrong; this old man was the Mo family's master.
Qiu Gongsheng didn't say anything, just nodded.
Mu Hanyan frowned. Although Mo Yanhong spoke in a very low voice, how could he possibly hide it from her sharp senses which were several times stronger than those of a sword master.
Manager Zhou was right. They really came to destroy the reputation of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
Mu Hanyan didn't blame Manager Zhou. It was Mo Yanhong's fault in the first place, and it had nothing to do with Manager Zhou. The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce invited Manager Zhou because of his ability. His contract with the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce had expired, so it couldn't be said that they were poaching.
Besides, if the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce wants to become more powerful, it is inevitable to offend people. It is better to close down early because it is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind.
She was just a little worried about how Mo Yanhong planned to deal with the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. She also didn't know who Mu Nan had sent. If she was not prepared, she might fall into his trap.
Just as she was secretly worried, Mu Hanyan saw Che Xiang's figure. Fortunately, it was an acquaintance. Mu Hanyan was about to step forward to remind him when she saw Che Xiang stride forward and greet an old man wearing a wide robe with large sleeves, with a cold face and a masterful demeanor.
The old man was carrying a large wooden box on his back and looked extremely arrogant, but Che Xiang looked extremely respectful. Before Mu Hanyan could say hello, he invited the old man into the back hall.
Mu Hanyan looked at the old man and Mu Xia behind him, thought for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
Why is it this old guy? This is troublesome. I’m afraid that before Mo Yanhong can take action, the reputation of Nanyan Chamber of Commerce will be ruined.
Xuanyuan Fengchen, the most mysterious sword-making master in the Holy Court Continent, has sword-making skills that are said to shock heaven and earth and make ghosts cry. He is even hailed as a sword-making prodigy that only appears once in a thousand years in the Holy Court Continent.
The magic sword forged by him personally is priceless. Even royal families from various countries are vying to buy it. The major families are also proud to own a sword forged by Xuanyuan Fengchen himself. For a long time, this is almost a symbol of identity and status.
However, apart from this, Xuanyuan Fengchen has another title, the biggest liar in the history of the Holy Court Continent.
That's right, he is a huge liar. The long swords he forged are all outwardly beautiful but rotten inside. To put it bluntly, they are fakes, but they are too real. Not to mention ordinary treasure appraisers, even the royal treasure appraisers of various countries have been fooled by him.
Many years later, the truth was revealed, and the royal families of various countries lost face. Many treasure appraisers were implicated and lost their lives, and many ancient chambers of commerce that had been passed down for thousands of years lost everything they had.
When Mu Hanyan met Xuanyuan Fengchen in her previous life, it was in the depths of the Longyan Mountains. At that time, he was being hunted down by royal families, major families, and major chambers of commerce from various countries. Although he escaped into the depths of the Longyan Mountains, he still could not escape death in the end.
When Mu Hanyan witnessed this scene, she was deeply moved. Being a liar to this extent would make him famous for all time.
It goes without saying why this guy showed up at the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. Mu Hanyan secretly cried out in bad luck. How could they run into this guy just after the Beijing branch opened? He really thinks highly of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
Mu Hanyan was a little confused. Although the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was very famous in Nanxi County, it was not conspicuous at all in the capital. It was far from comparable to those time-honored chambers of commerce with a history of thousands or tens of thousands of years. With Xuanyuan Fengchen's appetite, why would he be interested in the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce?
Could it be that this was someone Mo Yanhong asked to help destroy the signboard?
Mu Hanyan quickly dismissed this speculation. Besides his sophisticated deception, Xuanyuan Fengchen was able to deceive the entire Holy Court Continent for another very important reason: his extremely cautious nature. He always kept to himself, never revealing any clues. How could he possibly help Mo Yanhong?
Why was that? Mu Hanyan suddenly realized: Xuanyuan Fengchen's true fame wouldn't come until years later. In fact, he barely enjoyed a few years of glory before being discovered and murdered. The reason was simple: he sold swords, and swords are meant to be used, not collected. No matter how glamorous they appear, there's always a chance they'll be exposed.
If you think about it carefully, although Xuanyuan Fengchen has some reputation now, it is not as famous as it will be in a few years. It is estimated that he has not yet developed the courage to easily attack those old-fashioned chambers of commerce, let alone deceive the royal family, so he turned to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
Although Mu Hanyan understood why Xuanyuan Fengchen appeared at the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, she was still a little confused. Che Xiang only showed his face and immediately ushered Xuanyuan Fengchen into the inner hall, probably to the VIP room. She wanted to remind Che Xiang, but it was too late.
Given the current strength of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, they certainly couldn't see through Xuanyuan Fengchen's deception. Falling for them was a sure thing. Losing some money was fine, but the key was their reputation. Mu Hanyan didn't want the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce to be like the other chambers of commerce she knew in her past life, tarnished by Xuanyuan Fengchen and left to fall apart.
"No, we must remind Che Xiang as soon as possible." Mu Hanyan walked towards the inner hall without hesitation.
"Sir, please stay. This is the VIP room of our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. No outsiders are allowed to enter without the president's order." As soon as Mu Hanyan reached the door, a guard stopped her.
This guard seemed to be a newly hired person and did not recognize Mu Hanyan. However, this was the capital after all, with countless children of aristocratic families, princes and relatives of the emperor, so his attitude was still respectful.
"Let Che Xiang come out to see me." Mu Hanyan didn't waste time talking to him.
