Episode 111You have to raise your head to see the sky (5)
That morning.
âHuh! âDid you stay up all night, branch manager?â
Mo Yong-woo smiled. His face looked a little tired.
âI have something to think about.â
A look of sadness appeared on Lee Geonâs face.
âTake a break today. âI will deal with the Trade Federation representatives.â
âItâs okay. Not even for a day or two.â
âAre you sure you donât mind?â
âI am the one who took time out of my busy schedule to practice martial arts. Donât worry too much. âIf I donât get the right answer, I have to pull out my sword.â
Lee Geon burst out laughing hahaha without realizing it.
âThatâs right. Rather, pull out your sword. âWho will stop the branch manager?â
I sincerely hope so.
Of course, I knew this shouldnât be the case. Although their livelihood is at stake and they have become sharper, they too are victims.
âThen just sleep for one hour. âI will finish the morning work.â
âIs that so?â
âyes.â
But Mo Yong-woo did not sleep.
I was definitely tired, but my mind was clearer than ever. There was no need to force myself to sleep.
âItâs like Iâm possessed by something.â
Mo Yong-woo thought of Yeonhojeong.
Have we just reached terms and conditions? Perhaps it was because of his inner strength, but his wrinkle-free face seemed full of vitality.
The overall look was sharp but very handsome. Although it seems somewhat stiff, it has a charm that strangely attracts people.
But thatâs only in appearance.
âWhat on earth is it?â
Mo Yong-woo was accustomed to seeing a personâs inherent tendencies rather than their outer appearance.
It was natural. The Moyong family was a stage of hell where even blood relatives were killed to gain power. In order to survive there, the first thing to do was to develop an eye for people.
When he saw it, Yeon Ho-jeong was already a person who had no need to start a family.
A power stronger and more precious than martial arts. It was the eye that could see the flow of the world and the ability to control that flow at will.
âRather, it would have been less surprising if his martial arts skills were stronger than his brotherâs.â
Of course, it was still surprising enough. In Mo Yong-wooâs view, Yeon Ho-jeongâs martial arts skills were at a level where even he could not guarantee victory or defeat.
That alone is enough of a monstrous talent.
âPreyâ¦?â
Mo Yong-woo suddenly felt uneasy.
Yeon Ho-jeong What does he plan to do with the alternative trade union? What exactly does it mean to make one wish?
âIâm sure⦠youâre not trying to threaten me with force, right?â
That wonât happen.
He seemed like a rough person, but he still seemed like someone who knew at least some humanity. Mo Yong-woo decided to trust his own eyes.
How much time has passed like that?
It was around the time when the sun was slowly moving towards the middle of the sky.
âBranch Manager Ji!â
âWhatâs going on?â
âRepresentatives of the Trade Coalition have arrived!â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes sparkled.
âI understand.â
âBut the atmosphere is strange.â
âIs it strange? âWhat do you mean?â
âI donât know. For some reason, everyoneâs faces turned whiteâ¦â
No way�
Mo Yong-woo came out in a hurry.
âomg! Branch Manager Ji!â
âAre you here!â
âOh my, we should have come to see you soonerâ¦â
Mo Yong-woo narrowed his eyes.
What are these servile reactions?
âI donât know why youâre saying that, but letâs eat inside first.â
The three people looked at each other.
Mo Yong-woo tilted his head.
âIs there a problem?â
One of them cautiously opened his mouth.
âUm⦠are you okay?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThatâs not itâ¦â
ââ¦?â
âAre you staying here?â
What does this mean?
Mo Yong-woo looked at the faces of the three people.
Their faces were thoughtful. But the appearance was a little strange.
âme?â
It wasnât that he was threatened by someone, but it seemed like Mo Yong-woo himself was having a hard time.
âAre you going to stay here? You meanâ¦?â
At that time, the oldest person who appeared to be in his fifties opened his mouth.
âWe didnât know how much Branch Manager Moyong was suffering. âIf you think about it, the branch manager deliberately took on difficult tasks for us even though there was no need for him.â
ââ¦.â
âItâs all our fault. Itâs our fault. âHowever, we will try to coordinate things somehow between us in the future, so would you mind if you just remained where you were?â
Mo Yong-woo was extremely frustrated inside.
âI donât know what youâre talking about. âI donât know what meaning it has for me to stayâ¦â
These words were uttered by Mo Yong-woo, who was unaware of the situation, but to the three people who heard them, they seemed like a lightning strike.
âsorry! âPlease save me just once!â
âIf the branch manager leaves, we will starve to death!â
âWeâd rather give you our share!â
What what?
Mo Yong-woo could not help but be taken aback by the enthusiastic response of the merchant representatives.
At the same time, my head became cold.
âYeonhojeong?â
It was clear that the person was up to some trick.
However, it didnât seem like there was a threat of force. They were afraid of themselves, not Yeon Ho-jeong.
At that moment, Mo Yong-woo remembered Yeon Ho-jeongâs words.
âInstead of making them ask you to give them food, you should make them apologize and beg for forgiveness.â
âBite the leash right when you think itâs your chance.â
â¦Hmm, I donât know what it is, but should I give it a try?
Mo Yong-woo pretended not to know.
âArenât these three representatives of the trade association? âYou will be able to lead well without me.â
At that moment, Mo Yong-woo felt that the atmosphere in the area was rapidly freezing.
The three peopleâs faces went from white to blue. I felt like my mind was half lost in extreme fear.
âIâm sorry! Sorry, branch manager! Please just take a look!â
âHehehehe!â
âWe will never fight among ourselves again! âIf there are people who interfere in conflicts of interest in the future, we will blow them away first!â
Mo Yong-woo stopped poking. It seemed like if I made a mistake, I would catch someone.
At that time, a man in his fifties spoke with tears streaming down his face.
âWe didnât know that the branch leader was fighting alone. From now on, we will step forward and protect the branch leader.â
âIâ¦â
âSo Iâm going to say this without any shame. Please stop Mo Yongâs family from coming to Zhejiang!â
At that moment, Mo Yong-woo felt a chill running down his spine.
âMoyongse? âWhy is my familyâs name suddenly changed?â
Mo Yong-woo asked calmly.
âAre you that afraid of someone from your family coming to Zhejiang?â
âHehehe! âWe really have nothing to say.â
It was the same for Mo Yong-woo. I had nothing to say because I didnât know what was going on.
Anyway, I know I shouldnât leave it like this.
âPlease come inside first.â
The three people entered the guest room with red-faced faces, wiping away tears and snot.
At that time, there was someone knocking on the branch door as if he had been waiting. It was also open.
âThis is a letter from a practitioner.â
Mo Yong-woo hurriedly opened the letter.
If you had made up your mind, you wouldnât need this help. But I understand, because you too must have had your own agonizing times. This matter can be left out of the transaction.
It was great confidence.
His ambitious remarks, as if he could solve this problem at any time, caught my eye. If nothing else, I felt like I had formed a relationship with an outstanding person.
If Moyonggunâs personality is anything to go by, he is probably planning to cut down all the merchants belonging to the Trade Federation. Donât let them know that. Although they appear soft on the outside, they are people who have lived a harsh life. If they are cornered, they will raise their claws. Then it will be bothersome in many ways.
Mo Yong-woo felt goosebumps.
At this rate, I began to wonder if Yeon Ho-jeong had at least planted three crops here. Otherwise, you wouldnât be able to see it so clearly.
âTerrible!â
I donât know anything else, but I know one thing.
Yeon Ho-jeong is someone who should never be turned into an enemy. This manâs resourcefulness was already on the worldâs agenda. A bonus to such resourcefulness was his fearsome ability to act.
Could it be that your brother has already turned Yeon Ho-jeong into an enemy?
They were told that the Mo Yong family was planning to use its funds to take over Zhejiangâs entire trading business. And I made them understand that you are the one blocking it on the front line. Maybe later, but for the time being, I wonât have to give you a headache.
âher!â
Mo Yong-woo stuck out his tongue inwardly.
The Moyong family is determined to get involved in the trading business?
Then the Zhejiang traders will be finished. All the interests they have held so far will be taken away by the Moyong family. Either yin or yang.
It is small and medium-sized merchants who die if their interests are taken away by organizations with astronomical financial power.
Now I understand why the merchant representatives are so stubborn. It is said that Mo Yong-woo, a blood relative of the Mo Yong family, was actually preventing the Mo Yong family from swallowing them up, so how could they not be grateful?
But they say they are sick of their behavior and will now leave. For merchants, it was like a lightning strike.
âYou can shake things up with just a few words⦠This is the first time Iâve ever seen someone actually do something like this.â
Mo Yong-woo, who was shaking his head, suddenly hardened his expression.
Do you understand why I bothered to bring in the Mo Yong family? When Mo Yong Yeon-hwa goes, you have to make a choice. Will you abandon them or take them with you? Their lives depend on your decision.
The bridge of Mo Yong-wooâs nose trembled slightly.
If you really want to overthrow the family, take over from Zhejiang. If you donât have the will or ability, bow down to Mo Yong Yeon Hwa.
If you choose the former, you will be with Yeonhojeong in earnest. If you choose the latter, you will be enemies from then on.
It was an extreme either-or situation. Yeon Ho-jeong was openly testing Mo Yong-wooâs skills.
âscary!â
At the same time as testing Mo Yong-yu, if he passed the test, he was able to lay the foundation for Zhejiang, and furthermore, he took control of the Zhejiang trade market at once, which was at a very sensitive time.
If Zhejiang becomes stable, Jiangsu Province will naturally become stable as well. If so, Byeoksan Yeonga will be able to proceed with its work much more easily.
âWe made it so that you can get double and triple benefits with this one moveâ¦â
How to recognize talented people.
Mo Yong-woo clicked his tongue, thinking of the countless things Yeon Ho-jeong would gain from this incident.
âIf I fail⦠then they will bring Yeongaâs troops and occupy it.â
It means taking care of what you need even in the worst situation. SÑará´h the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
amazing. It was an unconventional method that Mo Yong-woo could not even dare to think of.
Mo Yong-woo finished reading the remaining part of the letter.
I plan to stay at Hushen Daxi Road for about a month to research the Zhejiang market. If you succeed, come and have fun as an outing.
Mo Yong-woo closed the letter and sighed.
âI wonder if Iâve joined hands with someone I canât handle.â
At that time, Lee Geon came running.
âBranch Manager Ji!â
âWhy are you doing that?â
âThe merchant representatives would like to nominate the branch manager as the Great Duke of the Trade Alliance! Why are they suddenly like this?â
âItâs Daebong-gongâ¦.â
Mo Yong-woo laughed bitterly.
âThey told me to bite the leash when I got the chance, and they sent me away with all their fangs and teeth pulled out.â
âyes?â
âNo. âLetâs go in.â
Mo Yong-woo took a deep breath, and a light of determination appeared in his eyes.
âWhat can I do? Even if itâs a flower with thorns, if it smells good, I should pick it.â
