3- The Song Family

"I'm fine, dad. Rong'er is strong!" Said Wu Rong while looking at the group that walked in.

Wu Rong then glanced at a nearby mirror. She could see a young girl, about 14 years old, sitting on her bed. The girl had slighty curly waist long brown hair, a fair skin tone, dark green eyes, and a face that could only be called delicate not beautiful. All members of the family seem to share the same brown hair and dark green eyes.

'So.... This is how I look like in this life, or should I say that's what I originally look like, and the one in my dreams is me in my past life? Hmmmm, gonna need to think about it a little. Anyway, I will protect my family by using my past life's experience and make our business prosper!'

Yes, as you may have guessed, the Song family is a merchant family. They have trades on land, in the sea, and above clouds. Every member has his own branch to manage. Her eldest brother, Song Ju Qu, manages the trades in the sky and has his own fleet of flying ships and beasts. Her second eldest brother, Song Fu Long, manages the trades on the sea, he too has his own fleet of sea sailing ships and owns many ports around the Huanroa Continent. Her third brother, Song Xu Bai, manages the trades on land and in cities. Her fourth brother, Song Bu Yao , manages the trade routes and also owns his own mercenary group which helps bring back materials, beasts, treasures, and many more. Her father, Song Tu Hao, makes the important decisions and supervises his sons' businesses.

..... And with great wealth comes great responsibility.....

Her family has always been a target of envy and schemes, their every move made a great ripple in the continent, and so, many are after their wealth. Wu Rong vowed that she would protect her family from harm and make them prosper....

"Rong'er, why are you staring at the mirror? Are you really fine?" Asked Tu Hao while looking at his dazed daughter.

"Oh! I'm fine, don't worry about me. I'm just thinking about something!" Said Wu Rong in a fluster.

"What are thinking about? If you have a wish, just tell daddy and he will grant it without any qualms!" Said Tu Hao while patting his chest in pride.

"Hmm... Then can you allow me to join our family's business?"

"What? But you're a young lady, and I don't want you to experience the corrupted world of business, where the strong prey on the weak!"

"But, you said you would grant my wish without qualms.... Please, daddy! Rong'er reeeeaaalllly wants to start a business!" Begged Wu Rong, her eyes misty with tears, a sad pout gracing her lips.

"Uhh.... Fine! But you should tell me the kind of business you wish to conduct first, but be careful because if it isn't good enough, you should just give up the idea of a business." Said Song Tu Hao, his expression serious.

"I want to start an auction house! I plan to start with 1 auction house, and if business goes well, I want to open more auction houses, one in each major city and a select few smaller scale cities. The auction house's name would be 'Yizhong Aucton House', and will auction everything, from weapons to medicines to beasts!"
