221 A plan to make a fortune (2/2)
Right after making this bold remark, the Fatty suddenly broke into tears again: ”Third young… you have to help me with one more thing…..”
”What happened?” Jun Mo Xie asked in a vigilant tone: ”First tell me.”
”My Fianc�� and her Family wish to see me; in fact, the Eldest of their Family is coming to see me with her….” Tang Yuan was still stroking and comforting his belly from previously falling to the ground: ”They've heard that I've been kicked out of my house, and she wishes to comfort me, but I… it is actually…..”
”Your Fianc�� is quite open-minded… I've really never heard of an arranged couple meeting in this manner before their wedding. This isn't a good thing Fatty… this woman isn't working up to the expectations of the society!” Jun Mo Xie scratched his chin, and then smiled: ”What help do you want from me?”
”I just want you to accompany me when I go.” Fatty Tang's spirits seemed to have lifted already: ”I just want you to carry me back in case I get beaten up tomorrow…. I've heard that their Eldest has quite a temper…..”
”Are you joking? This is your first meet as a couple, which is equivalent to a blind-date…. So what are you pulling me along for? Why would you want the red lined-leaves to appear together with greener ones?!”
Jun Mo Xie was looking down at his chest indicatively, and so Tang Yuan also leaned in to watch: ”You look at my body, and then you look my face.” He said as he patted his body: ”Well, do you understand?”
”Understand what?” Tang Yuan blinked his eyes, completely at a loss with regard to Jun Mo Xie's words.
”What I'm saying is obvious, but you just don't understand it. You already cut a very sorry figure, and then you wish to take me, a graceful looking handsome young man straight out of a girl's dream. Who will look at you when you're being accompanied by a man like me?” Jun Mo Xie's mouth spat out some saliva since he finished his entire sentence in one single go, focusing entirely on admiring himself while making no effort to restrain his pride either.
”Why would they look at you? You're just there to help.” Tang Yuan looked at him in disdain: ”And now that you've said it, how does the word 'narcissistic' sound as your new nickname?”
”Whether I'm narcissistic or not is not of importance here; the key here is that, what if your Fianc�� starts to fancy me tomorrow? It really wouldn't be very alarming…. Put yourself in her shoes, what you would choose, a beautiful tree or dirty mud?” Jun Mo Xie stated as he tilted his eyebrows in a meaningful manner.
”That could happen.” Tang Yuan scratched his chin in serious consideration, and started contemplating means to eliminate any possibilities of it: ”Maybe you could put on some makeup again? You could paint a few pockmarks on your face, and perhaps a few scars as well! Then you won't look this handsome, right?”
Jun Mo Xie completely crumbled and then retreated in defeat: ”I'll go and find Uncle so we can send out those business invitations for the start of our first business day. Don't come looking for me even if you have something important; I'll be very busy.”
”Don't forget to accompany me for tomorrow's meeting ah, this is a very important thing ah!” the Hitman accelerated his pace when he heard the Fatty shouting behind him.
After departing from the young master Jun's courtyard, the Solitary Eagle went to find Jun Wu Yi to request a more appropriate training quarters, and was soon after accommodated within Jun Wu Yi's courtyard. Jun Wu Yi's temperament was far more courteous than his nephew's, and even though he was at a fairly advanced stage in his own personal training, he didn't understand many of the problems the Solitary Eagle was facing. Therefore, he decided to allow the Solitary Eagle to commandeer his courtyard and moved himself out of there.
As Jun Wu Yi moved out his training area, the Solitary Eagle took control of it, and set about to his tasks once again. He'd try to mimic the tricks Jun Mo Xie had taught him, and would then he'd sit down on the ground feeling that he'd made a mistake somewhere, and would then resolve to frowning for a little while as a result before getting back to it...
This was an obvious case of the turtledove taking control of a pigeon's nest!
However, Jun Wu Yi didn't seem to be minding it at all, and seemed very satisfied in just enjoying the autumn sunlight on the contrary when the young master Jun walked in.
”The invitations? Auspicious day for opening business?” Jun Wu Yi saw the thick pile of invitations, looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but sigh: ”Mo Xie, you seem to really favor the rich and despise the poor ah. You've only included the nobility and the rich families in this, and you've completely left out any ordinary families from your list.”
”Third Uncle, our auction house only has expensive items on sale, and so only the rich and wealthy would be capable of purchasing them, while the common people would actually be even afraid to enter such an expensive shop. Think about it, if one jar of wine was reserved at twelve thousand taels, then could a common person afford to drink it?”
Jun Mo Xie flapped his eyelids: ”I've already included the names of every rich person in the Tian Xiang City, and I will peel off every penny from their hide this time. Although money isn't everything under the sky, but it is still an entity of significance.”
A chill ran down Jun Wu Yi's spine. His own nephew's thoughts were sounding a little too crazy to him!
”Hum, Uncle, don't you worry, this is only the start! I'll let them drink all the wine they want before the auction ends, and then I won't give them anymore! Then, I'll wait till they have to go back to drinking that awful wine they had been drinking earlier, ha ha ha…. Then we'll gain a complete monopoly over the market, and we'll only sell a very limited number of wine jars in each auction…. So if they have to drink it… ha ha ha, they'll have to come up with some real money for it! And the prices of my wine will shoot sky-high! Ha ha ha….” Jun Mo Xie burst into laughter.
