"You at Mingxiang Garden actually engage in middleman business?"
Mingxiang Garden was quite a renowned Hook Bar in Dayan Territory, with a presence in most major cities, even a notch above Qin Weijiu's Zuixian Pavilion in status.
The young woman, hearing this, did not deny it:
"Does the young master know about middlemen?"
"So that's how it is."
Xu Yuan's eyes revealed a flash of realization—no wonder that eunuch had set the secret meeting location in this Hook Bar.
Basically, a middleman is equivalent to an intermediary,
If two powers have a conflict and wish to negotiate, but do not trust each other, they would seek out a middleman.
The middleman would use their influence to gather parties, provide a negotiating location free from external interference, and ensure the safety of both sides during the meeting.
The scope of a middleman's business can vary greatly, from the lowest to the highest stakes.
