The crowd of men listened in wonder, clicking their tongues in amazement.
Yi Chen, ever the hearty fellow, drained his cup in response, quickly becoming one of the gang.
"Head Escort Zhang, the Wei Yuan Escort Agency's business sure seems to be booming. Why are you risking your life running these escorts every day? What about your nephew? Isn't he joining you on this trip?"
Finding himself running into acquaintances on the road, Yi Chen couldn't help thinking just how small the world really is.
"Alas, my wife bore me a son with the hope of having a daughter next, but then she gave birth to triplets... all boys..." Zhang Biaotou's eyes reddened as he spoke, turning away to take a big gulp of wine.
