Three days later, Hua Ruge was invited to the Liu Manor to meet her at the appointed time. In fact, it didn't matter even if she didn't take the invitation since she was the only woman in the shop, she could tell who he was with a glance.
When the attendant brought her to the inner hall, she saw three old men waiting for her. They were probably the owners of the three great companies.
But she still pretended not to know him, and cupped her fists at the three of them: "I am Hua Ruge, who is Boss Liu?"
The old man who sat on the main seat looked very friendly. He had already thought of an excuse, but when he saw Hua Ruge, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Although he had prepared in his heart, this person was too beautiful.
"It's me, Boss Hua." The old man finally reacted as she spoke.
"I don't dare." Hua Ruge modestly asked, and then said: "Who are these two?"
"I forgot to introduce them." Boss Liu walked to the left and said, "This is Boss Sheng of Shenglong Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, I've heard a lot about Boss Sheng." Hua Ruge made a face of understanding.
"Boss Hua, you're too polite. I'm the one admiring you." The old man was also smiling, looking like a typical businessman.
Boss Liu walked to the right side and said, "This is Ding Xuan Chamber of Commerce's Boss Du."
Hua Ruge cupped his hands in greeting once again, and Boss Du said: "Boss Hua is truly a young genius, to be able to establish a large merchant guild like Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce at such a young age, truly is a fearsome thing for the young to fear."
"You're too kind. It was just a fluke." Hua Ruge modestly replied.
"Everyone, please sit." Boss Liu said.
Therefore, the few of them sat down, and the servants came to serve tea, and Hua Ruge drank it as if it was nothing.
"Have you heard? The sea beasts of the western border went berserk, and once again, the general situation broke into the border. Now, even the Loose Immortals have been sent to the battlefield." Boss Du said with a worried expression.
Boss Sheng nodded his head, "That's right. Right now, half of the people in Immortal City are gone. It's really hard to do business here."
"Sigh, the situation is difficult, let's not think about our own benefits." "If I could get some pills and herbs, I would be willing to send them to the frontline," said Boss Liu.
Hua Ruge's brows unnoticeably twitched, but he still did not say anything.
"Boss Liu is right, but there's no one here to pick the herbs. It's not easy to get them."
"Yeah."
After saying that, the three of them looked at Hua Ruge as if they suddenly realized something.
Hua Ruge would not reveal her teasing nature at critical moments. She slowly put down her teacup and asked: "What are you guys looking at me for?"
She finally understood why these people were looking for her.
"Boss Hua, during this special period, the disciples at the frontlines are fighting with their blood in the bloodbath. It would be a little unjustifiable for us to be at the back making money from the war." Boss Sheng spoke up.
The other two looked at Hua Ruge, ready to refute his explanation as soon as possible.
However, Hua Ruge said calmly: "Everyone, you think too much. We are merchants, regardless of whether it is during the war or in times of peace, we need to make money. If we close our shops and head towards the front, then even the city behind us would be paralyzed."
She didn't show any sign of guilt nor did she explain anything to him, so the two people who were waiting for her to speak didn't know what to say either.
This was the first time they saw someone making a war with such a righteous face and not faking it. Normally, they would smile behind their backs to symbolize their own names, but Hua Ruge did not have that intention at all.
"Do you think what I said makes sense?" Hua Ruge asked.
The three of them looked at each other. In the end, Boss Liu stood up and said, "Even though we say that, if we have the ability, we should do something for the war. After all, we are also part of the mainland."2
After Hua Ruge heard this, he nodded his head: "Boss Liu's words are too kind, as a member of the continent, we should have enough money to help out."
When they saw that she had taken the bait, they praised her as well, "Boss Hua sure is satisfying."
When I was fighting the three octopus at sea, I didn't think about my own safety. To be honest, my internal injuries are still not completely healed yet, but that's not important. Hua Ruge said righteously.
The other three were stunned. Why did this matter involve them?
"To be honest, I still want to go to the battlefield and kill those sea beasts. However, my body doesn't allow me to." Hua Ruge let out a loud sigh, then looked at the few of them and said: "I can't fight anymore, I wonder what the three of you are planning to do for the war on the western border, would you like to pay or help?"
She turned to the things that everyone knew about in the past and successfully brought the three of them into the fray.
If they wanted to cheat money from her, they were still lacking a bit.
The three of them felt that they were a little confused. They had originally wanted to get something out of Hua Ruge and achieve their goal, but they never thought that Hua Ruge would actually bring up the matter of her killing sea beasts.
The three octopus were blue whales that no one could solve. Hua Ruge's neutral achievements during that battle were still being praised throughout the entire continent, and he had even treated her as a lone hero after finding out that she was injured.
It could be said that although she had only appeared in the western border for a few short days, she had made a great contribution to the western border. There was nothing they could say.
This time, it was Boss Sheng who spoke up. "Even if we want to pay, we can't afford the spirit stones. The most important thing right now is still the pills, but we don't have any of these."
"That's right, we are also lacking in strength." Boss Liu answered.
Hua Ruge felt extremely vexed, these people were truly shameless, they could even answer in such a manner.
The three of them looked at her after she finished speaking, waiting for her to mention the medicinal pills.
"I do have the pills, but the eastern border has already shrunk the supply of herbs. I don't have enough to supply the people behind us, so I can't do anything about it." Hua Ruge knew that he could not change the topic, he decided to go straight to the point.
When he finally mentioned it, Boss Sheng continued, "Boss Hua, if you have the entire Eastern Wilderness as a medicine warehouse and you find it difficult, then we won't be able to live any longer."
"Boss Sheng, you're being modest. You're all old names. This junior needs to rely on everyone's support if I want to develop." Hua Ruge replied humbly.
"Boss Hua, stop joking around right now. It's easy for a rising star like you to surpass us." Boss Du said in a strange tone.
Hua Ruge was always humble.
In the end, Boss Liu spoke up first: "Boss Hua, look at the entire eastern border! They produce countless medicinal herbs every year, and your whole family doesn't even have all of their Pill Pavilion! So you might as well give us some so we can have some to use. Only then can we work for the border right?"
