South of the Yangtze River! You shall be its agent!
Hearing Qin Fan's declaration, Chang Yuanyi froze as if struck by lightning, his hand still outstretched and his mouth agape.
This was something he never dared to imagine!
The last time, securing the agency for the East China region was enough to make him ecstatic. For that alone, his grandfather and father had praised him countless times. But he never expected that after such a short time, Qin Fan would drop this bombshell: the entire region south of the Yangtze River.
Although Qin Fan had excluded Lingnan, Chang Yuanyi would have consciously steered clear of that sensitive royal territory anyway. The area south of the Yangtze River covered more than a dozen provinces. This represented not just a massive financial windfall but, more importantly, an incredible elevation in status.
