"Master Lin, my master tasked me to deliver the payment for joining the franchise.
"Here are the three hundred taels of gold from the twenty franchisees joining." The man sent by Old Heng cupped his hands and bowed at Lin Xuan Qi.
The men that stood beside him placed a wooden chest onto the ground and they opened it.
In an instant, the gold inside reflected the sunlight, making the main hall bask in a golden halo.
Lin Xuan Qi got the servants to account for it and when it was the right amount, he nodded his head and said, "Thank you so much."
He gave a glance at Xiu, and Xiu knew what to do next.
She came up to the man and handed him some copper coins.
"The weather is cold, that's for you and your men to have some hot tea on the way back." Lin Xuan Qi said before the man could refuse the copper coins.
"Thank you so much, Master Lin." The man bowed at him again and they took their leave.
