The attendant requested Ye Xiwen to wait in the hall and went upstairs to inform the chief shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce.
After a while, a middle aged man dressed in a robe came out with the attendant and said, “Excuse me for making you wait for so long. I am the chief shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce, Xia Chen!”
“Xia Chen!” Ye Xiwen said and cupped his hands in greeting.
“So how should I address you, gentleman?” Xia Chen asked.
“My surname is Wen.” Ye Xiwen didn’t tell his full name and nor did Xia Chen asked it again. Obviously, everyone had their own secrets and as long as the business deal remained genuine, everything else was fine.
“I do not know what Mr. Wen said about the dragon grass?” Xia Chen asked.
