"A business deal?"
Hu Ma was taken aback. "What kind of business?"
It finally dawned on him that this old man had been so eager to show him around with ulterior motives.
"It's something bigger than the work in this village."
The old man laughed. "Since the employer hasn't agreed yet, I can't give you all the details right now. However, I can tell you that our employer has already found a few capable people for this task. There's at least a seventy percent chance of success."
"If this job is successful, it won't be just a few hundred taels of Silver. We'll earn at least this much." He then held up one finger.
Hu Ma was slightly stunned. "One thousand taels of Silver?"
The old man smiled mysteriously and nodded.
Hu Ma's expression twisted with conflict.
But this conflict was just for show; he had already made up his mind: This job is a no-go.
