The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 61: Shopkeeper Jin

"My dears, our boss is here." The waiter said politely to Jiang Xing and Xie Ci. Standing behind him was a middle-aged man with a medium build and a round face.

"Oh? Your boss is here!" Jiang Xing looked at the newcomer with interest, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Gentlemen, are you looking for me?" The shopkeeper's tone was casual and made people feel warm.

"Boss, what's your name?" Jiang Xing looked at the boss with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"My surname is Jin." Shopkeeper Jin was secretly delighted to hear the noble man in front of him being so polite, and quickly replied humbly.

Jiang Xing nodded, thinking: This shopkeeper is a real person, he seems to be very kind. So he decided to test him again.

"Manager Jin, I've heard a lot about you! After meeting you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved!" Jiang Xing bowed and spoke sincerely.

"No, no, it's just a compliment from my friends in the martial arts world. May I ask what your name is?" Shopkeeper Jin was flattered and quickly returned the greeting.

"My name is Jiang Xing, and this is my good friend Xie Ci. We are new here, so please take care of us, Manager Jin." Jiang Xing pointed at Xie Ci beside him and said with a smile.

"So it's Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xie. Nice to meet you! It's an honor to have you two gentlemen visiting our store! If you need anything, just let us know and we will do our best to satisfy you." Shopkeeper Jin greeted them warmly with a smile on his face, muttering in his heart what a coincidence that they also have the surname Jiang.

Jiang Xing sighed in his heart: This shopkeeper Jin is really a good person, his words are flawless, and people feel comfortable listening to him. It seems that there is a reason why this restaurant can be so prosperous.

"Manager Jin, do you recognize this jade pendant?" Jiang Xing picked up the jade pendant on the table and carefully handed it to Manager Jin.

Shopkeeper Jin took a closer look and was immediately shocked. He thought to himself, "Isn't this the boss's token? How did it appear here?"

He did not dare to neglect them. So these were the two young masters the host had mentioned. He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiang Xing and Xie Ci: "So you are the eldest and second young masters. I was blind and did not recognize you. Please forgive me, young masters."

Xie Ci was also puzzled when he heard this: "Boss Jin, how did you know that we were coming? Did you get the news in advance?"

Shopkeeper Jin smiled slightly and explained, "In reply to the two young masters, I received a pigeon letter from the boss yesterday, and learned that the two young masters might arrive here in the near future. I just didn't expect that the two young masters would be so quick and arrive so soon."

"Oh? So that's it!" Xie Ci suddenly realized and secretly admired his cousin for being so thoughtful.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Shopkeeper Jin asked respectfully.

Jiang Xing stroked the jade pendant in his hand and said slowly, "My people are still behind. Find me some help."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Jin bowed slightly and asked cautiously, "Okay, Master. How many people do you need? Also, what tasks do these people need to perform? Would you mind telling us?"

Jiang Xing thought for a moment, then said, "Well, we'll probably need about ten people. They should come from different industries and go to different places to gather information. As for what they are going to do specifically..." Jiang Xing paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "It's mainly about disaster relief funds. You must do everything you can to obtain relevant information, but the means must be secretive and you must not alert the enemy."

Jiang Xing was well aware of the importance and sensitivity of this mission, so he had to be extra cautious when selecting the executors. Since it was Shopkeeper Jin who was recommended by the third brother, he must have his own unique means and methods. Therefore, Jiang Xing did not hesitate to hand over this difficult task directly to him, expecting him to complete it successfully.

"Okay, don't worry, young master! Oh, I'll have someone prepare the rooms for you two young masters, and you can rest after lunch." Manager Jin said with a smile on his face.

"No need, we have already found a place to stay somewhere else." Jiang Xing casually mentioned the name of the inn they were staying in.

"Master, what do you mean? We have a ready-made shop, why bother others? I will send someone to pack our bags and we will stay here tonight." When Shopkeeper Jin heard Jiang Xing talking about staying overnight, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by anxiety and displeasure. After all, this was the first time the owner entrusted him with an important task, ordering him to entertain the eldest and second young masters well, and he must not mess it up.

After saying this, Shopkeeper Jin turned and left the room, preparing to find someone to go to the inn to help Jiang Xing and Xie Ci pack their bags. His actions were so quick and decisive that Jiang Xing and Xie Ci didn't have time to react.

"Cousin, do you think the people that Shopkeeper Jin found are reliable?" Xie Ci's face showed a trace of worry. After all, Shopkeeper Jin was just an ordinary shopkeeper, and whether they could successfully complete the task was really worrying.

"Xie Ci, don't underestimate the third brother. The third brother's business is very big, and his shops are almost all over the country. Moreover, due to business needs, the people he contacts on a daily basis are of all kinds and mixed. It can be said that all kinds of people are under the control of the third brother. And these people are all managed by the shopkeepers of Liweilou in various places. This is the rule set by the third brother, and it has always been the case." Jiang Xing comforted, revealing his trust in the third brother in his words.
