"I once heard Ah Jing mention that Senior Master Huo has five sons, and all five have comparable abilities. Originally, the Huo Family's company should have been inherited by the Eldest Huo, as that was the most undisputed matter. However, both the Eldest Huo and Huo the Second are public officials and can't inherit the Huo Family's company, leaving the Third, Fourth, and Fifth to vie for it, none of whom are willing to concede."
Ye Xingbei asked, "Is the Huo Family part of the business circle?"
"Yes," Gu Junzhu said, "Senior Master Huo's ancestors were once imperial merchants, with considerable wealth. By Senior Master Huo's generation, both the Eldest and the Second are capable and talented. Senior Master Huo sent them out early to gain experience, and later, the two did very well."
