"The Emperor of Nanyuan made a big fuss when he was seeking our cooperation back then. If he wants to cast us aside, so be it. They're the ones who will lose out," said Ye Qianning.
"For so many years, Gu Shuo has poured his heart and soul into Nanyuan's commerce. It took him years of painstaking effort just to open up the seafood trade routes. Think of all the manpower and resources spent on the roads in the Nanyuan region! The fruit orchards have only been bearing fruit for two or three years. Is he really going to just hand all that over?" Although Zhan Chi wasn't a merchant, he had seen a great deal over the years.
He felt deep down that things hadn't been easy for Gu Shuo and genuinely admired the man.
"As long as something new and exciting enough comes along, none of that will matter. Mr. Zhan, don't get so worked up. I won't let Mr. Gu suffer a loss." Ye Qianning found his agitation amusing. 'I hadn't realized the two of them had become so close.'
