Chapter 435: Contact with wealthy people
I have been here in Jiangnan City for several days.
During this period, Gu Chan has been busy getting established, so she has no time to go out and stroll around.
Now that she really took Bai Hu out for a walk, she realized that Jiangnan City was indeed much more luxurious than Zhongyuan City. First of all, the buildings here looked very new. , unlike the Zhongyuan City side, there are still very dilapidated buildings, and there are also refugee areas like the North District.
It can be said that there is no such place as a refugee area in Jiangnan City, that is, there are just a few more beggars on the streets. But unlike the refugees in Zhongyuan City, even beggars can live here. Very good.
Secondly, there are a wide variety of shops here. Inns, pubs, gambling houses, etc. are all standard. There are many red shops and salt shops, but they are rarely seen in Zhongyuan City.
Gu Chan sat on the back of the white fox and looked at the bustling scene on the street with a smile on her face.
She wished it could be like this on the other side of the border, where all the people would make money and live a peaceful life.
"Everyone, come and take a look! Mr. Chang is offering five thousand gold to find capable people. Those who have the ability can come to me and sign up now, and I will take everyone to see Mr. Chang."
While Gu Chan was distracted, a shout suddenly sounded from the right side of the street ahead.
Many people gathered around looking for the sound.
Gu Chan also raised his head and looked over there, and said to the white fox beneath him, "Let's go over and have a look."
[Master, why don't we go there and go back for a walk? , so as not to cause trouble for yourself. ] said the white fox.
"Oops! I feel something is wrong with you! Ever since you transformed and grew up, you seem to have become more and more afraid of trouble. Have you become less courageous?" Gu Chan said angrily.
When it was a little white fox, it was very bold! Since it has transformed and grown up, it seems to have changed its personality, which naturally makes Gu Chan feel a little speechless
Bai Hu said helplessly, "People change, let alone us mysterious beasts. I'm just becoming more cautious now, and I promised Ma Zheng that I would protect you for him, but I can't let you act according to your temper." 】
"Tsk! It turns out that Ma Zheng turned your back on you before he left!" Gu Chan pretended to be angry and said.
Although she looked a little angry, her heart was warm.
Both Ma Zheng and Bai Hu care about her very much. This feeling of being cared for is really good.
The white fox was afraid that Gu Chan would be angry, so he said, [Then go over and join in the fun. Watch for a while and then leave. You can't follow him to cause trouble. 】
"Let's go and take a look first. If it's interesting, it doesn't hurt to go and have some fun." Gu Chan said with a smile.
The white fox sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do to deal with the owner, so he could only slowly walk towards the crowd over there.
Soon Gu Chan and the white fox came to the back of the crowd. Because the white fox was larger, Gu Chan sat on its back and could see clearly what was ahead by raising her head slightly.
At this time, I saw a man standing in the circle holding a reward card in his hand, showing it to everyone.
The content of the reward order is probably that a young man from a wealthy family named Chang in Jiangnan City recruits strange people and strangers to help him catch the mysterious beast. The reward is five thousand taels of gold. As for where to catch the mysterious beast , and what kind of mysterious beast was caught, the reward order did not say it.
The man was not in a hurry to explain. He just shouted to everyone, "Is there anyone with strong skills who can sign up? If so, please answer the call quickly and stand behind me and wait."
"Yes, I'll come." Try it.”
“I’ll try it too.”
As the man finished speaking, there were shouts all around. Then a dozen people stood up, walked behind him and stood waiting.
And these dozen or so people were of mixed gender, and none of them seemed to be good-natured ones.
Gu Chan reached out and touched her chin and muttered to herself, "There's nothing to do today anyway, so why not go and have some fun? You can also get to know the young master from a wealthy family. It's a good choice."
【Hey! I knew I couldn't stop you, there was really nothing I could do against you. 】The white fox sighed and said.
Gu Chan chuckled and immediately raised her hands and shouted, "And me."
Everyone turned their heads to look at her, and the man standing in the circle also stared at her and said, " Little brother, my young master is recruiting strange people. He doesn’t want children, so don’t make trouble.”
"I'll go. Look, the white fox mysterious beast I'm riding under me is not simple, so can I still be simple?" Gu Chan said with a laugh.
The man smiled awkwardly and could only say, "Okay! Then you have to follow us. If anything happens, our Chang family will not be responsible."
"Don't worry, I went voluntarily, and the Chang family is not responsible for it," Gu Chan said, reaching out and patting her chest.
Then she rode the white fox, squeezed through the crowd and stepped into the circle. She stood behind the man and waited quietly in a row with the dozen or so people.
The man shouted again, "Is there anyone else who has signed up? If not, then I will take them away."
Everyone stopped answering, and no one dared to stand up anymore.
The man folded the reward order, put it in his arms, and immediately left with Gu Chan and others, heading towards the Chang family in the east.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived outside the gate of Chang Mansion.
Gu Chan looked up and found that the Chang Mansion was quite big, much larger than the county government offices in Zhongyuan City, and it was also built very luxuriously. This was enough to prove that the Chang family was considered a prominent figure in Jiangnan City. A truly wealthy family cannot be compared with ordinary wealthy families.
The man looked at the crowd and said, "You guys wait in line at the door. I will go in and report to our young master."
After saying that, he quickly ran into Chang's Mansion and went to present the report.
Gu Chan and a dozen other people stood at the door and waited quietly.
While waiting, Gu Chan looked at the tall and strong man standing next to him, who was over 1.8 meters tall, and said, "Brother, I am a foreigner. I have only been in Jiangnan City for a few days. This What is the origin of the Chang family? "
"Little brother, the Chang family is one of the first-class families in the Jiangnan area. In the past, the old man of the Chang family made his fortune by selling private salt. Later, the Chang family became more and more prosperous. As he grew older, he got involved with the government, and now the entire salt transportation business in the south of the Yangtze River is controlled by the Chang family," the strong man said in a rough voice.
Gu Chan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was really surprised.
She never expected that this Chang family could be so awesome.
You know, the salt transportation industry has been very profitable since ancient times. If the Chang family can take over all the salt transportation business in the Jiangnan area, doesn't that mean they can collect money just sitting there every day?
It just so happens that she came to Jiangnan this time to make money. It would be a good thing to have more contact with such wealthy people.
This means that this time she unexpectedly I was lucky to come to the Chang family after running into this incident.
