Trafford's Trading Club

Luo Qiu became the boss of a ‘club’ by chance. It was a weird club that sold strange items, assisted by a servant girl with 300 years of work experience. Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club, exchanging everything precious they owned just to fulfill their desires. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Each successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little. “Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.” Thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.

“Heaven Shadow Limited Inc?”

Cheng Yun was reading the material that Zhong Luochen passed to him.

Grandpa’s health had been getting better and better. He even started to practice TaiChi now. If his descendants hadn’t suggested that he stay for a further observation for another several days, he would have went back to the capital city already.

But his grandpa didn’t seem to mind staying here.

“I have decided to expand in this area here for several years.” Zhong Luochen said indifferently. “There are several projects for now. Heaven Shadow Entertainment is considered the largest and most powerful company here. Their vice president sought me out recently… Well, you can go get information of that company first.”

Expanding here in recent years? Cheng Yun couldn't help wondering. Without question, the old master would go back to the capital, because the Zhong Family headquarters was there.

The Grandpa’s miraculous recovery must be due to some unknown methods used by the second young master. However, everyone knew the result was due entirely to the second young master’s actions. Simply put, the second young master saved his grandfather’s life.

The discussion these days in the Zhong Family all concerned the second young master. He made such a huge contribution, and should be treated well by the old master.

Unexpectedly, He would stay in this place, far away from the capital! It didn’t make sense!

Cheng Yun did not dare to express the slightest hint of his own ideas. He said instead, “Boss Zhong, I remember Heaven Shadow Entertainment should be the company that signed a contract with the new pop star that became famous, Tu Jiaya.”

Zhong Luochen nodded: "Heaven Shadow Entertainment seems to want to enter into the film industry… movies were always played major part in the cultural industry."

Cheng Yun nodded. He understood the situation of the domestic film industry. Whether domestic or foreign, under the system, any movie without a rating would be checked by SARFT(The State Administration of Radio Film and Television).

But… who cares? To let the Zhong Family accept him, of course he had to use various ways to butter up his master.

Cheng Yun was excited. Setting the results aside, merely going through the procedures would give him large benefits.

“What is Tai Yinzi doing?”

The boss who just came back to the club frowned.

This was because an additional computer had appeared here and Tai Yinzi was sitting at the computer, typing Intently on the keyboard.

Typing using two fingers.

“You Ye said: “He said he wanted to learn more about the world, so he gave three extra workdays as payment in exchange for this computer.”

It was the servant girl—You Ye, who basically took charge of all the scheduling and management concerning the jobs of the black soul envoys.

It should have been the boss’s duty. However, it might be due to the fact that the previous boss was too passive, hence this work had been handed over to You Ye for hundreds of years.

As the new master...he thought that since she was experienced in that job, she would surely do a better job than him! Therefore he didn’t worry about that.

After all, You Ye had been always loyal...

Of course , under all kinds of reasons, black soul envoys worked for free for the club. Their soul already belonged to the club. So if they wanted something, they would have to exchange those items using good results.

Tai Yinzi’s serving time was 500 years. As he hadn’t completed any task, if he wanted something, he would have to increase his serving time for the club. Of course, the one who would work for such a long period of time was only him.

Luo Qiu simply gazed at him with his mouth opened wide. He then shook his head. “Install a firewall and an ad blocker on the computer. This guy was definitely not someone that would cultivate Taoism with a pure heart even during five hundred years ago.”

‘If you simply want to know more about the outside world… Why are you clicking on so many small ads?’

‘Oh my god, he’s even going to register an account!!’

Under his master's’ aura, Tai Yinzi could merely run upstairs quietly while holding his laptop without uttering a word.

The reason he wasn’t allowed to access the Internet here was because—the way he laughed seemed like a perverted old man. Who would dare to leave him here and ruin the perfectly good atmosphere?

Luo Qiu sat down and said, ”How are the two sisters?”

You Ye said, “Tu Jiaqing’s stuffed her sister into the trunk that night after knocking her out. Then sent her to their old house.”

Not only did she report the process, the loyal servant girl had her own thoughts as well. “She should still be hesitating or still can’t eliminate a relative of her, so doesn't know what to do. At the moment, she intends to avoid letting people discover the true Tu Jiaya.”

Luo Qiu looked at You Ye, asking her curiously, “Do you think Tu Jiaqing will do it eventually ?”

You Ye spoke softly, “It has nothing to do with me. What You Ye concerns is when Tu Jiaqing will deliver on her promise.”

At that moment, the club's bell rang.

The one who entered was… Yang Taizi.

The old Taoist looked more energetic than last time. As they knew each other, Luo Qiu didn’t bother dressing up this time.

The boss seemed more kindly.

But Yang dare not regard this kindness as a goodwill.

“Have you found the transaction fee necessary to purchase the other half of the scripture?”

Yang Taizi revered the club. If he did not have a request, he would never come here for no reason.

The old monk didn't even know that one of his ancestors 500 years ago was typing on a laptop upstairs with a serious look. “No, I just want to confirm, if it is still here.”

Luo Qiu nodded firmly.

Yang Taizi said, “Great! I will come again to buy back the other half of Koan Sutra soon. Please don't sell it to others before that.”

Luo Qiu asked with interest, “Will you get some treasure later ?”

Yang Taizi didn’t answered his question and instead replied, “ I'll be back at most after three days.”

After saying that, Yang Taizi pushed open the door and left hurriedly. From his tensed expression, Luo Qiu thought he seemed like an evil demon that devoured human beings.

At this moment, the club’s boss, who was considered to be a demon in Yang Taizi’s view, was reading the Bible.

After a while, You Ye came up to Luo Qiu holding a thick hardcover, saying in a soft voice ,”Master, the transaction fees for two deals are about to mature. They should be collected.”

Luo Qiu was stunned.

Considering that the club existed for a long period of time, there should be more transactions that were completed rather than the few deals he made. Hence, just like the agreement with Tu Jiaqing, there must exist some deals where the souls of the purchasers would be taken after death.

The past deals would not be terminated merely because the boss had changed.

The club had always been the one giving before collecting.

At this point, Luo Qiu curiously accepted the account book.
