Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

"Ah, here's the situation: someone came over seeking help from the merchant guild, considering his unique circumstances, I came to inform you immediately."

Wei Zhe then relayed the entire message to Yuchi, and upon hearing it, Yuchi roughly understood the person's predicament.

Walking towards the courtyard with Wei Zhe, he muttered to himself:

"The patriarch who sells rice in town has come to seek my help?"

"But what exactly does he want from me? The current situation is still unclear?"

Wei Zhe nodded to confirm.

Chen Jianghua from the Chen Family is the shopkeeper of the rice store in Xufu Town; provisions like rice, oil, and salt are critical commodities at any time.

In these times, it's the same.

So in other towns, the real shopkeeper behind a rice store would certainly be a significant figure.

At the very least, having solid ties with the government is essential to run such a business.

However, in a clothing town like Xufu Town, even if the rice shop does well, it's just doing well.

The scale of the clothing business in Xufu Town is so large that when the Wei Family is placed before the rice shop, it is like a giant.

No wonder Chen Jianghua needs the merchant guild's help when facing troubles.

"I think this might not be a major issue."

"It's just that since he's from the rice shop, I think it's still necessary for you, Third Brother, to take a look."

"If we do decide to stand up for him, it might just be a matter determined within the time it takes to have a cup of tea."

Wei Zhe's intentions were straightforward.

Now, the merchant guild is not only renowned in Xufu Town but even more so in Jiangzhou City.

The news of Xufu Town's rapid expansion has long reached Jiangzhou City, catching the attention of many people there.

Moreover, his third brother himself is the president of the merchant guild.

With small matters in Jiangzhou City, if he intends to solve them, he can certainly help others settle them in no time.

"No rush, let's see the situation first." Yuchi replied with a smile.

"I'll listen to you."

...

The weather was sunny, the autumn air crisp, and in the council hall were Chen Jianghua and his son.

The two were waiting, with tea placed before them and comprehensive hospitality received overall.

"Father, do we really need to seek the merchant guild?"

"The merchant guild is so terrifying now."

"If the guild uses this opportunity to demand gold and silver from us, we won't be able to resist at all."

The speaker was Chen Jianghua's son.

In terms of age, he was a contemporary of Wei Zhe's, and his voice was full of concern as he spoke.

And he felt his worries were not unfounded.

Firstly, anyone doing business knows that the merchant guild is indeed a gigantic entity now.

This is a terrifying force that can single-handedly cause the expansion of Xufu Town.

Previously, even the Four Major Institutions in Jiangzhou City came to support it…

They even proactively became a backing for the guild; this kind of thing had never happened before!

Secondly, if it's merely a conflict between families, then it's a private matter.

This kind of private conflict can be managed directly behind the scenes, but if such a conflict reaches the merchant guild…

What if the guild president, Yuchi, turns out to be ruthless and they demand unreasonably?

Then wouldn't they find it hard to get off the tiger's back!

Finally, and most critically.

What if others don't help, but instead, after considering various interests, betray them?

If they fail to help them and instead aid their opponents, or worse still, take money from both sides, wouldn't this truly be disgusting!

Chen Jianghua understood his son's point, and he could comprehend why his son held these basic views.

However, he also had his own opinions.

He solemnly and seriously said:

"At the banquet when Xufu Town started, I had the fortune to see President Yuchi from afar."

"From his demeanor, it's evident he's a reliable person; his behavior and mannerisms were impeccable."

"So this time, rest assured, since I've come to approach President Yuchi, it's because we have no choice but to seek help from the merchant guild."

"Secondly, he is indeed worth trying to trust."

Chen Jianghua also knew that the human heart is hard to fathom.

He couldn't just give a positive assessment based solely on Yuchi's appearance, but now he truly had no option.

He could only choose to seek help from the other party during such times, which was a very quick and distinct choice.

"Lastly, and equally significant."

"Since we're here to ask for help, we need to show at least the utmost respect."

"Whether it works out or not is one thing, whether we respect them or not is something they can clearly feel."

Chen Jianghua spoke earnestly.

One certainly shouldn't ask for help while harboring distrust behind someone's back.

Such double-dealing individuals are truly foul.

"Alright, I hope the president can take our side, otherwise if we talk about resolving it privately, it's not easy to solve."

"Once such an issue arises, it's not something our family alone can handle."

"This is truly troublesome."

Upon hearing this, the young man nodded worriedly.

At this moment, Yuchi and Wei Zhe finally appeared from outside the door.

The two had already entered the courtyard, only three or four zhang away from them now.
