On the second floor, Qing Yu drained the wine in his hand, watching the dancers below and softly laughed.

"Mr. Xuan De, you flatter me. I'm merely scrabbling for a living."
Across from Qing Yu, Meng Yunfei, the leader of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Linchuan Prefecture, raised his cup with a smile.
