Episode 111
You have to raise your head to see the sky (5)
That morning.
“Huh! “Did you stay up all night, branch manager?”
Mo Yong-woo smiled. His face looked a little tired.
“I have something to think about.”
A look of sadness appeared on Lee Geon’s face.
“Take a break today. “I will deal with the Trade Federation representatives.”
“It’s okay. Not even for a day or two.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“I am the one who took time out of my busy schedule to practice martial arts. Don’t worry too much. “If I don’t get the right answer, I have to pull out my sword.”
Lee Geon burst out laughing hahaha without realizing it.
“That’s right. Rather, pull out your sword. “Who will stop the branch manager?”
I sincerely hope so.
Of course, I knew this shouldn’t be the case. Although their livelihood is at stake and they have become sharper, they too are victims.
“Then just sleep for one hour. “I will finish the morning work.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
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.
‘It’s like I’m possessed by something.’
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 that’s only in appearance.
‘What on earth is it?’
Mo Yong-woo was accustomed to seeing a person’s 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.
‘Rather, it would have been less surprising if his martial arts skills were stronger than his brother’s.’
Of course, it was still surprising enough. In Mo Yong-woo’s view, Yeon Ho-jeong’s martial arts skills were at a level where even he could not guarantee victory or defeat.
That alone is enough of a monstrous talent.
‘Prey…?’
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?
‘I’m sure… you’re not trying to threaten me with force, right?’
That won’t 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.
“Branch Manager Ji!”
“What’s going on?”
“Representatives of the Trade Coalition have arrived!”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sparkled.
“I understand.”
“But the atmosphere is strange.”
“Is it strange? “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. For some reason, everyone’s faces turned white…”
No way…?
Mo Yong-woo came out in a hurry.
“omg! Branch Manager Ji!”
“Are you here!”
“Oh my, we should have come to see you sooner…”
Mo Yong-woo narrowed his eyes.
What are these servile reactions?
“I don’t know why you’re saying that, but let’s eat inside first.”
The three people looked at each other.
Mo Yong-woo tilted his head.
“Is there a problem?”
One of them cautiously opened his mouth.
“Um… are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s not it…”
“…?”
“Are you staying here?”
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.
‘me?’
It wasn’t that he was threatened by someone, but it seemed like Mo Yong-woo himself was having a hard time.
‘Are you going to stay here? You mean…?’
At that time, the oldest person who appeared to be in his fifties opened his mouth.
“We didn’t know how much Branch Manager Moyong was suffering. “If you think about it, the branch manager deliberately took on difficult tasks for us even though there was no need for him.”
“….”
“It’s all our fault. It’s our fault. “However, we will try to coordinate things somehow between us in the future, so would you mind if you just remained where you were?”
Mo Yong-woo was extremely frustrated inside.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “I don’t know what meaning it has for me to stay…”
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.
“sorry! “Please save me just once!”
“If the branch manager leaves, we will starve to death!”
“We’d rather give you our share!”
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.
‘Yeonhojeong?’
It was clear that the person was up to some trick.
However, it didn’t 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-jeong’s words.
‘Instead of making them ask you to give them food, you should make them apologize and beg for forgiveness.’
‘Bite the leash right when you think it’s your chance.’
…Hmm, I don’t know what it is, but should I give it a try?
Mo Yong-woo pretended not to know.
“Aren’t these three representatives of the trade association? “You will be able to lead well without me.”
At that moment, Mo Yong-woo felt that the atmosphere in the area was rapidly freezing.
The three people’s faces went from white to blue. I felt like my mind was half lost in extreme fear.
“I’m sorry! Sorry, branch manager! Please just take a look!”
“Hehehehe!”
“We will never fight among ourselves again! “If there are people who interfere in conflicts of interest in the future, we will blow them away first!”
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.
“We didn’t know that the branch leader was fighting alone. From now on, we will step forward and protect the branch leader.”
“I…”
“So I’m going to say this without any shame. Please stop Mo Yong’s family from coming to Zhejiang!”
At that moment, Mo Yong-woo felt a chill running down his spine.
‘Moyongse? ‘Why is my family’s name suddenly changed?’
Mo Yong-woo asked calmly.
“Are you that afraid of someone from your family coming to Zhejiang?”
“Hehehe! “We really have nothing to say.”
It was the same for Mo Yong-woo. I had nothing to say because I didn’t know what was going on.
Anyway, I know I shouldn’t leave it like this.
“Please come inside first.”
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.
“This is a letter from a practitioner.”
Mo Yong-woo hurriedly opened the letter.
If you had made up your mind, you wouldn’t 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 Moyonggun’s personality is anything to go by, he is probably planning to cut down all the merchants belonging to the Trade Federation. Don’t 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 wouldn’t be able to see it so clearly.
‘Terrible!’
I don’t know anything else, but I know one thing.
Yeon Ho-jeong is someone who should never be turned into an enemy. This man’s resourcefulness was already on the world’s 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 Zhejiang’s 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 won’t have to give you a headache.
“her!”
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.
“You can shake things up with just a few words… This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone actually do something like this.”
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-woo’s nose trembled slightly.
If you really want to overthrow the family, take over from Zhejiang. If you don’t 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-woo’s skills.
‘scary!’
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.
‘We made it so that you can get double and triple benefits with this one move…’
How to recognize talented people.
Mo Yong-woo clicked his tongue, thinking of the countless things Yeon Ho-jeong would gain from this incident.
‘If I fail… then they will bring Yeonga’s troops and occupy it.’
It means taking care of what you need even in the worst situation.
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.
‘I wonder if I’ve joined hands with someone I can’t handle.’
At that time, Lee Geon came running.
“Branch Manager Ji!”
“Why are you doing that?”
“The merchant representatives would like to nominate the branch manager as the Great Duke of the Trade Alliance! Why are they suddenly like this?”
“It’s Daebong-gong….”
Mo Yong-woo laughed bitterly.
“They told me to bite the leash when I got the chance, and they sent me away with all their fangs and teeth pulled out.”
“yes?”
“No. “Let’s go in.”
Mo Yong-woo took a deep breath, and a light of determination appeared in his eyes.
“What can I do? Even if it’s a flower with thorns, if it smells good, I should pick it.”
