“Manger Mo is being too polite.” Chu Mo slightly nodded and got straight to the point, “But may I ask, for what reason did Manager Mo want to see me?”
“Naturally, it’s to invite Mr. Chu to join our Jade Pavilion Trade Union!” Mo Shanshan said, “Mr. Chu, I’ve looked into you…don’t misunderstand, it wasn’t with ill intent. I previously noticed you helping a young girl in the Martial Artist Supply Hall, which piqued my interest! It is through my investigation that I know you have a genius-level fiancee. I also know that your reputation outside isn’t good, with everyone thinking you’re just an ordinary person who can’t cultivate.”
At this point, a look of surprise appeared on Mo Shanshan’s face as she said, “But from what I see now, Mr. Chu’s cultivation level has likely reached the Martial Artist Realm, and you even possess extraordinary strength! I imagine your Physique and Talents must be excellent!”
“Of course, that’s not our main focus. Although I don’t know why you conceal your cultivation level, I won’t pry into that. Based on Mr. Chu’s willingness to help a strange young girl, you must be a person of character. In fact, no matter how I look at it, you seem kind-hearted, exceptionally talented, with extraordinary strength. In short, a genius. A genius which our Jade Pavilion Trade Union seeks to recruit!” Mo Shanshan openly said.
Chu Mo furrowed his brows and directly said, “Thank you for Manager Mo’s great compliments, it’s just that… I’m accustomed to freedom and don’t wish to be restrained, so I currently have no intention of joining any forces.”
Chu Mo directly refused.
[With my Absorption ability, I can steadily get stronger. Joining a major force wouldn’t be of much use to me. On the contrary, it would make me lose a ton of my freedom.]
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse.” As if she had anticipated it, Mo Shanshan wasn’t surprised to hear Chu Mo’s words. “Mr. Chu, why don’t you hear me out first.”
Mo Shanshan paused and continued, “My Jade Pavilion Trade Union is a top-tier force in Luyang Base, even Martial Grandmasters have to show us some courtesy. Does Mr. Chu know why?”
Chu Mo showed an appropriate look of curiosity.
“Because my Jade Pavilion Trade Union is not a native force of Luyang Base!” Mo Shanshan declared, “The headquarters of Jade Pavilion Trade Union is in Jinling Base, ten thousand kilometers away from Luyang Base!”
[As expected.] Chu Mo showed an expression as if this came as a shock.
“The Jade Pavilion in Luyang Base is just a branch of the Jade Pavilion Trade Union. It is currently under my full control. Our Jade Pavilion Trade Union mainly has two ways of recruiting geniuses! One is to join our Trade Union, enjoy generous treatment, and work for the Trade Union. Accordingly, you will also be bound by the Trade Union’s rules… but since Mr. Chu is unwilling to accept that, our Jade Pavilion Trade Union has another way and is willing to form ties with you!”
“It is cooperation!”
Chu Mo’s heart stirred as he asked, “And what kind of cooperation would that be?”
“Mr. Chu become a Guest Official of my Jade Pavilion Trade Union. This way, you won’t be controlled by the Trade Union. The Trade Union will provide a certain amount of Spirit Stones each month and provide you some protection. If my Jade Pavilion Trade Union has any rare items or treasure sites, we will also invite you to purchase them in advance and explore. Additionally, when Mr. Chu purchases resources from any store under my Jade Pavilion Trade Union in the future, you can enjoy a 20% discount! And no matter what Mr. Chu does, the Trade Union won’t interfere.”
“Naturally, there is one give Mr. Chu has to make, which is that you must help the Trade Union handle at least one matter each year. This matter won’t be forcibly assigned and Mr. Chu has the right to refuse and change the task!” Saying this, Mo Shanshan looked at Chu Mo, her eyes bright. “Mr. Chu, what do you think of this?”
Listening to Mo Shanshan’s explanation, Chu Mo immediately understood what this all meant.
To put it bluntly, it was to get him affiliated with Jade Pavilion Trade Union!
The Jade Pavilion Trade Union relied on its powerful influence to recruit geniuses to work for them. Even if the geniuses were unwilling to pledge allegiance, they could still form good ties with the geniuses through these benefits.
Such treatment was honestly tempting. Not to mention the fixed monthly Spirit Stone and protection given, having priority purchasing rights and exploration rights of the Jade Pavilion Trade Union were extremely valuable.
One had to know that many true Heavenly Treasures were never revealed to the public by the Trade Union. Rather, they were often consumed internally.
As a major force spanning multiple bases, the Jade Pavilion Trade Union must have many precious treasures. Just the internal purchasing rights alone was invaluable not to mention exploring treasure sites. Although those were often accompanied by danger, there would also be tremendous opportunities.
The 20% discount was also a considerable benefit.
Chu Mo was indeed tempted. However, he didn’t agree right away. Instead, he thought for a bit and said, “I have to say, the benefits Miss Mo offered are indeed enticing. But this is no small matter, so please allow me some time to consider it! In any case, I will definitely give Miss Mo an answer tomorrow, how about that?”
Mo Shanshan smiled, “Of course!”
After saying that, she paused and added, “As a meeting gift, Mr. Chu’s purchase at our store this time will be free of charge!”
This was truly a generous offer. Even Chu Mo couldn’t help but click his tongue, sighing, “Miss Mo is so generous, aren’t you afraid that I’ll take these benefits and not agree tomorrow?”
“It’s less than 200,000 Spirit Stones. Even if given to Mr. Chu, it’s fine, my Jade Pavilion Trade Union can still afford the loss! Besides…” Mo Shanshan said with a smile, “I believe Mr. Chu will make the right choice!”
Hearing this, Chu Mo silently nodded in his heart.
Although his contact with Mo Shanshan wasn’t long, the magnanimity and broad-mindedness displayed by her was something he greatly admired.
He immediately said, “In that case, you have my thanks!”
After chatting a few more words, seeing that it was getting late, Chu Mo proposed to take his leave.
After he left, the old woman who had been silent the whole time spoke, “Miss, although this Chu Mo is of good character and his strength is passable, he’s ultimately just a genius from a small base. Why would you go to such great lengths to recruit him? You are even using up a Guest Official slot?”
She was very puzzled. Certainly, she also appreciated Chu Mo’s honest character. However, this was not enough to grant him such a great deal. She felt that Mo Shanshan had placed too much value on him.
“Senior Zhou, although you are a Martial Master, you still can’t see what’s so special about Chu Mo!” Mo Shanshan stood up and softly continued, “You also know that I awakened a Dual Talent, one is a Saber Talent while the other is a special supportive Talent. From the first instant Chu Mo entered the store today, I had sensed something special about him, which is why I immediately invited him up!”
“In other words…” She slowly walked to the window, gazing at Chu Mo’s receding figure, and continued, “I sensed a familiar aura from him! He and I are the same kind of people!”
Her voice wasn’t loud but to the ears of the old woman surnamed Zhou, it was like a clap of thunder on a clear sunny day. It shocked her until she gasped.
