"Hmm?"
Suddenly hearing such a remark from Er Guotou, Hu Ma was momentarily stunned.
However, he immediately reacted, lowered his voice, and said, "Is something going on?"
He suddenly felt alerted inside.
If he were truly an ordinary young man from the village, getting such a chance to become a Shopkeeper, he might even be willing to stake his life on it. This was because such an opportunity wasn't just promising; it was practically a rapid ascent, like one's ancestral grave emitting smoke. Although it was just a small Shopkeeper position, couldn't he relay a word to acquaintances in the Red Lantern Society and help Dayang Village out? Could he perhaps bring in a few more children from the village when the Red Lantern Society recruited next?
Hu Ma had only become a manager, yet he was already considered the most promising child for miles around. If he became a Shopkeeper, wouldn't the Old Clan Chief be utterly stunned?
