Mo Qian, the spokesperson for the Mohist School in Linhai City, is responsible for the Mohist School's external business.
This business mainly refers to shipping and maritime trade.
The ship used for today's Xu City event, the Peony, was rented by the Linhai City government from the Mohist School.
Apart from the Mohist school, no one else could build such a giant sea ship.
The Mohist School is an existence that cannot be offended even more than the Shipping Department, because the Shipping Department is only responsible for maritime affairs, while the Mohist School secretly controls the entire Linhai City.
On the surface, this place still belongs to the imperial court and is under the jurisdiction of the government, but in fact, the tentacles of Mohism have long penetrated into every aspect, like a big tree, wrapping the entire Linhai City with its dense roots.
What's more, even in the field of sea, the control of the Shipping Bureau is not as good as that of the Mohist School. After all, more than 80% of the ships sailing on the sea are from the Mohist School.
Mo Qian rarely shows up in public. Even if people want to curry favor with him, they can't see him. Now that they see him, how can they miss him?
Even Gu Shishi's eyes lit up the moment she saw Mo Qian. She couldn't help but walk towards him, and even her hair was fluttering with excitement.
Others naturally didn't dare to compete with her for the center position. Who didn't know that the daughter of the director of the Shipping Department admired Mr. Mo Qian? She once stopped Mr. Mo in public to confess her love. Although she was rejected, she never gave up.
This kind of romantic affair between a noble lady and a wealthy man is the most talked about thing, and therefore everyone in Linhai City knows about it.
Due to Gu Shishi's identity, people would step aside wherever she passed, as if they had deliberately left a human wall for her, making her look like a princess visiting the palace.
Gu Shishi was very proud and couldn't help showing a hint of pride on her face.
When she arrived in front of Mo Qian, she suppressed the smile on her lips to avoid looking like a fool. She deliberately softened her voice: "Mr. Mo."
Mo Qian nodded lightly.
He was nearly thirty years old, but because he had consumed expensive elixir snacks, he looked much younger than his actual age, probably only in his twenties.
He is tall and graceful, with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, looking like a handsome young man. In addition, the temperament he has developed since he was immersed in spiritual energy, and the aura of money revealed in his every move, make him look quite charming.
The attraction to a 16 or 17-year-old girl like Gu Shishi is very great.
But Mo Qian didn't have any feelings for her, so he rejected her confession without hesitation.
After nodding, Mo Qian felt that he had fulfilled his obligations and decided not to pay any more attention to her. Instead, he said to Xue Huan, "Xue Fei, shall I take you around the ship?"
If the Peony tonight is a kingdom of night, then Mo Qian is the master of this kingdom, but now he has extended an invitation to a woman.
Xue Huan instantly received all kinds of looks from all directions, some of them were surprise, some were envy, some were jealous, some were suspicion...
Among them, Gu Shishi's gaze was the most noticeable, as if it had substance, as if he couldn't wait to expose her.
"Mr. Mo, this woman is a liar. She even tricked me into spending two hundred taels to buy a pearl bracelet like this. Don't be fooled by her."
Gu Shishi took out the bracelet, looking as if she was thinking about Mo Qian.
"You said my niece is a liar?" Mo Qian looked at Gu Shishi with a suddenly cold look in his eyes.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xue Huan differently.
This girl is actually Mr. Mo’s niece?
Gu Shishi's face changed drastically, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xue Huan was full of "How is this possible?"
But what Mo Qian said himself, could it be false? He wouldn't be so bored as to pretend to be his niece in front of her, right?
Thinking of the previous conflict between herself and her niece, Gu Shishi's face turned pale and blue, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards "Mo Xuefei".
She was obviously Mr. Mo's niece, but she dressed so poorly on purpose and pretended to be poor. She even bargained with the vendor when buying a bracelet that cost 500 Wen, and then she even deliberately competed with her to make her the scapegoat!
If she had revealed her identity earlier, she wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
If Xue Huan knew what she was thinking, she would probably have advised her to open her head and let the water out. Was she pretending to be poor? Was she poor just because she wasn't covered in jewels and silk like her?
Even need to reveal her identity? Who does she think she is? She needs to reveal her identity to her?
Brain damage is a disease and needs to be treated early.
Just when Gu Shishi was hesitating whether to bow her head and apologize to Xue Huan, Mo Qian had already turned around and left with Xue Huan.
She wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the followers behind Mo Qian.
"Get out of the way!"
Gu Shishi watched Mo Qian's figure getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but stamp her feet in anxiety.
The two followers withdrew their arms that were blocking her with expressionless faces and stepped aside, but by then Mo Qian had already disappeared in the crowd.
Gu Shishi angrily threw the string of beads in her hand to the ground. The string broke and the pearls scattered everywhere, one of which even hit her face.
"Ouch!" Gu Shishi covered her face in pain, feeling more and more angry.
The other side.
Mo Qian looked at Xue Huan and asked, "Why didn't you send someone to tell Uncle San that you're here?"
Mo Qian is Mo Xuefei's uncle. Because he has no spiritual roots and cannot practice cultivation, he should have been sent to the secular world at the age of six. However, as the Sixth Elder's late-born son, he is very much loved by the Sixth Elder, so the Sixth Elder used his authority to keep him until he was fifteen.
Later, Mo Qian himself did not want to continue staying in his family as an ordinary person and endure the ridicule of other members of the clan, so he left.
Although he could not practice cultivation, he had a very business mind. He gradually expanded the shop he was assigned and cooperated with his family members to make money with them.
Although everyone in this family is a cultivator, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are actually ordinary people who have touched a little bit of immortal fate. They can neither abstain from grains nor give up the seven emotions and six desires to pursue wealth and pleasure. In fact, they even have a greater need for money because of the needs of cultivation.
The resources provided by the clan to each person are limited. If you want to practice faster, you can only find other ways to do side jobs.
Mo Qian was already very business-minded, and he tied his family members onto a ship, making his business even more prosperous.
He is also very sensible and every year he gives a large sum of money to the clan leader and elders.
For the sake of the money, the clan leaders were happy to hand over the Mo family's worldly business to him.
In this way, Mo Qian spent twelve years and became the head of the Mo family in Linhai City. The business empire and network of personal connections in his hands had become so huge that it was terrifying.
I'm afraid even the Mo family itself doesn't know how much wealth he controls.
Mo Qian often brought the supplies he had collected to his family's home, and every time he brought a lot of interesting things from the secular world to Mo Xuefei. So even though Mo Xuefei didn't think much of this third uncle, she was still relatively close to him because of the rare care she received from him.
Mo Qian knew Mo Xuefei's attitude towards him, but wasn't he also thinking of using his niece? After all, they were the same, so they just had to maintain the superficial uncle-niece relationship. No one had to feel sorry for anyone else.
