Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Owner of Xuntian Escort Agency

Although Wang Kui said Yang Ming didn’t need to manage anything, he still discussed many matters related to the Escort Agency with him and truly treated him as the owner of the agency, chatting for a long time before letting Yang Ming leave.

After Yang Ming left, an Escort Head, puzzled, asked Wang Kui, "Head Escort Master Wang, although he gave a hundred taels, that surely doesn’t qualify him to be the owner of our Escort Agency. A hundred taels is far from enough for us."

"Do you think we are still the great Escort Agency we used to be? From now on, we can only start with small jobs. Having these hundred taels is already good, it saves us from having to look for odd jobs, and we can take on jobs directly."

The Escort Head, still unsatisfied with Wang Kui’s decision, said, "All of us are following you, Head Escort Master Wang; suddenly having to listen to an outsider doesn’t sit well with us. Are we really going to treat him as the owner of the Escort Agency?"

"Yes, he is the owner of our Escort Agency, and all of you must listen to him. Don’t underestimate him; he might turn out to be an extraordinary person in the future. His wife might be, too. If our Escort Agency wants to rise again, we might really need to rely on them."

"You won’t go wrong listening to Head Escort Master Wang. We’ve met Shopkeeper Yang’s wife before."

The people who had gone to Yang Family Village with Wang Kui also came out to support his words, and everyone began to believe him and expressed they would follow orders and treat Yang Ming as the owner of the Escort Agency.

Back at the Academy, Yang Ming spent his days reading books and thinking about his wife, but what he hadn’t anticipated was that things were far from being as simple as he had thought.

In the Academy

Yang Ming, who was in the middle of class, was called out again. He cheerfully went out, thinking his wife had come, but at the Academy’s gate, he saw people from Xuntian Escort Agency.

"Is there something the matter?"

"Shopkeeper Yang, I am a worker from the Escort Agency; I mainly came to report the expenses of the past few days, we’ve bought grains, cabbage, radishes..."

The worker rambled on with his reporting, leaving Yang Ming stunned. What was going on? He was just a figurehead shopkeeper; he really didn’t need to be told all this.

He sent the worker back and returned to the Academy.

Yet, to his surprise, a few days later, he was called out by the Escort Agency’s people again.

"Shopkeeper Yang, I am an Escort Head. I’m here to report that we took on a small job yesterday and are departing today; we need to dispatch five people to Lin County..."

"You don’t need to tell me all this."

"Head Escort Master Wang said that you are the owner of our Escort Agency, and now every matter of the Escort Agency must be reported to you."

"..." Yang Ming was speechless. Previously, in such a large Escort Agency, did everything have to be reported to the Store Manager? Did they have to report everything from eating and drinking to sleeping? He couldn’t believe it.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now."

After sending him away, Yang Ming decided to go and find Wang Kui that evening.

But upon arriving at Xuntian Escort Agency, he saw that Wang Kui was not there; Wang Kui had already left with an escort during the day and would not be back for a few days.

He was about to leave when an Escort Head kept him there, asking him to come every day to handle the trivial matters within the Escort Agency. Seeing that Wang Kui was not around and there was no one in charge, he reluctantly agreed.

A few junior Escort Heads were discussing nearby.

"Is keeping him here to handle this really useful?"

"Following Head Escort Master Wang’s orders can’t be wrong."

In reality, all these trivialities did not require Yang Ming’s involvement; these were just tactics employed by Wang Kui to help him integrate into the Escort Agency quickly.

Yang Ming, who initially was just a token figure, gradually became more involved with everyone and, without realizing, became the true owner of Xuntian Escort Agency.
