696 Funeral

Zhu Wencong brought Su Yanqiao back to Richmond, where he would need to attend a funeral before his speech.

It never crossed his mind that Hu Zhongshun would pass away so soon; he was, after all, not destined to enjoy a life of wealth.

At the start of his entrepreneurial journey, two important benefactors emerged: Hu Zhongshun provided false identities and false information, while James offered the seed money.

If it weren't for the identity and information provided by Hu Zhongshun, no one would have believed Zhu Wencong at his age, no matter what he said.

Then he also needed James to introduce him into high society, to network with more wealthy merchants, using their money to start a business.

It could be said that without their help, Zhu Wencong's path to starting a business would not have been so smooth or achieved in such a short time.

Su Yanqiao wore a sorrowful expression, thinking how in just a short five years, some people's lives had already reached their end.
