Dong dong dong…

“Boss Zhao, there’s a guest outside looking for you.”The messenger came to the door of the accounting room.

However, he was quickly beaten back by an impatient shout from inside.

“Didn’t I already say that it’s useless for those foreigners to come and find me again? There’s no refund rule for our equipment once it’s sold!”

“No, Boss Zhao, this time he’s not a foreigner. He seems to be from Guili…Fleet? Are you sure you don’t want to see him?”

As soon as the waiter finished his explanation, the sound of the bookkeeping in the room paused and then turned into a gasp.

“Wha… What?” Zhao Jie rushed to the door and sneakily opened it a little to let the waiter in.

“Hurry up and tell me clearly, what Gui Li’s fleet?”

It was the first time the waiter had seen his boss so panicked, as if something big had happened. He became nervous and stuttered,

“That’s right, not long ago, a group of people who claimed to be from Gui Li arrived at our Sakuragi Island. They seemed to have met a foreigner on the shore and heard from him that there were actually people doing business on Sakuragi Island, so they wanted to come over and get to know you, Boss. At the same time, they also wanted to buy some supplies.”

“Phew… Is that so…” Zhao Jie let out a long sigh after hearing the waiter’s words, and his heart finally relaxed a little.

When he heard that the Gui Li fleet was looking for him, his first reaction was to ask for a debt.

Now, it seemed that he had been overthinking.

Thinking about it, although he owed a lot of money, it was not to the point where he could send a fleet to go out to sea and capture him, right?

However, just in case, Zhao Jie asked,

Do they have a name?”

“Yes, I think it’s called something…Northern Cross?” The waiter scratched his head uncertainly.

However, as someone who was born and raised in the country, Zhao Jie’s last bit of worry was dispelled when he heard this name.

Northern Cross!

When he was still in Guili, this was a fleet that had already begun to show its brilliance. It was rumored that they often acted chivalrously at sea, robbing the rich and helping the poor. There were even storytellers who specially wrote stories about the Northern Cross.

Of course, Zhao Jie was completely at ease because everyone knew that the Northern Cross was not controlled by any government. It was an armed fleet of an independent force.

Zhao Jie clearly remembered that there were many officials in Guili and the Five Elements who had advocated for the Northern Cross to be incorporated or exterminated. The reason was that they could not allow such an unofficial armed force to wander out, which had caused the Northern Cross to be in a very bad situation.

It was a miracle that Northern Cross was still able to hold on until now after so many years.

“Quickly invite them in.”

After getting Zhao Jie’s permission, the waiter left. After a while, light footsteps came from outside the door.

Nan did not bring any other Northern Cross crew members or any other players. She came alone to see Zhao Jie.

While the two parties were exchanging greetings at the door, a wolf cub who had arrived in advance poked the little sparrow’s butt with its paw.

In Wei…Under the enticement, Liao Zixuan successfully made Xinyan his eavesdropper. The little sparrow flashed and flew into Zhao Jie’s room through the gap in the window.

“In that case, Mr. Zhao, did you just launch these production lines on Sakuragi Island not long ago?”Nan pretended to chat with Zhao Jie as she quietly closed the door after entering the house.

From the moment she saw Zhao Jie’s face, Nan was certain that she had found the target that Zhao Yu ‘er had entrusted to her.

However, before she laid her cards on the table, Nan still had to help Zhao Yu ‘er test her father, who had abandoned his wife and daughter, to find out the other party’s background.

If Zhao Jie was really a person with bad morals, bad character, and greed, Nan would take the initiative to give up on bringing Zhao Jie back to the Thousand Islands and pretend that nothing had happened.

Nan did not hesitate at all because she believed that Zhao Yu-er knew her well and knew that she would do this. That was why she had specially found her and asked her to do this commission.

After all, once family was involved, even the most powerful person would lose their judgment. This was the time for a “friend” like her to appear.

Right now, the Northern Cross was living a carefree life in Guili. Nan did not want to return to the days a few years ago when she was chased by the Five Elements.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, she had to protect Zhao Yu-er. She would never let a scumbag father ruin a young girl who should have unlimited possibilities.

Ah, but reality was clearly not that heavy.

It was even more optimistic than Nan had imagined.

Zhao Jie was telling her about his business experience, and Nan had visited some workers in the Chamber of Commerce in private. She had observed the mental state of the workers along the way. Zhao Jie, as the boss, had a good score in Nan’s heart.

She did not engage in illegal activities, never bullied workers, the system of rewards and punishments in the Chamber of Commerce was clear, and the regulations were clear. All of these made Nan vaguely see Zhao Yuer’s shadow in this middle-aged uncle opposite her.

“So, Lord Nan, do you understand now? Although we have just been established not long ago, everything is very complete. The foreigners are even full of praise for our equipment. Almost everyone is a repeat customer. In front of the equipment we smith, they simply can’t control their hands!”
