"Hmph, who needs them," the Shopkeeper said without a moment's hesitation. He walked up to Gu Zhifeng. "I've followed Old Master Gu for decades. If you'll still have me, I'll continue to follow you and serve as your shopkeeper."
Gu Zhifeng was overjoyed. "Excellent! Though our shop is small for now, as long as we have integrity, it will grow. With you as our shopkeeper, Qian Guangjin, what is there to fear?"
"Boss, we'll follow you too."
"Boss, me too..."
"Wherever the Shopkeeper goes, I'll go..."
In that moment, all the clerks from Yu Min Pawnshop flocked to his side.
Gu Yuan's face darkened as he watched. Staring at Gu Zhifeng, he said, "The people you trained are certainly loyal, Uncle. It seems I'll have to clean house at the other shops I took from you as well."
"Since my nephew has said as much, I won't stand on ceremony," Gu Zhifeng said, then called out to Gu Chi, who was ahead of him. "Gu Chi, go to the shops tomorrow and pick out our people."
