Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Sisi bit her lip.

When Liu Yuanlang was pursuing her, he vowed that he was sincere towards her. However, just a few days after Su Yuntao took over, he began to avoid her like the plague.

She was unwilling to admit that she had misjudged him, but the thorn in her heart grew deeper and deeper every day.

Su Yuntao ignored her complicated emotions and spoke directly:

"I have a task for you. In the name of our Notting branch, contact the city lord's mansion and work together to issue an arrest warrant."

Sisi raised her head, somewhat hesitant:

"A warrant? Who is it for?"

"Naturally, it is Haotian Douluo Tang Hao and his son Tang San."

Su Yuntao said in a calm tone:

"However, you should specifically add a note to the wanted notice: Tang San awakened a twin martial soul that is rare in a thousand years, with innate full soul power, and his aptitude even surpasses that of His Holiness the Pope back then."

Sisi paused for a moment:

Is it really okay to write it this way?

Su Yuntao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said in a calm tone:

"Whether it's good or not is not your concern. Just do as I ask."

Sisi opened her mouth, wanting to ask but not daring to. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded and said:

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

Sisi turned and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she paused for a moment, as if hesitating about something. Her fingers lightly touched the door frame for a moment, as if she wanted to turn back and say something.

Just then, there were two knocks on the door, followed by Master Xiu Nuo's voice:

"Your Highness, a guest wishes to see you."

Su Yuntao raised his eyes and said, "Please come in."

Master Xiu Nuo pushed open the door and entered, followed by a woman.

The woman was in her early thirties, wearing a light purple brocade dress, with a light gray fox fur shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair was neatly styled in a bun and adorned with a small jade hairpin.

She had a gentle face, with a hint of shrewdness and tact in her eyes, typical of a businesswoman. When she entered, she smiled slightly at Su Yuntao, neither fawning nor arrogant, striking the perfect balance.

Sisi stood by the door, glanced at the woman, then at Su Yuntao, and for some reason, felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

She lowered her head, whispered "I'm leaving now," and walked out from beside Master Xiu Nuo, her steps much faster than usual.

The woman didn't mind Sisi leaving, and smiled as she gracefully bowed to Su Yuntao:

"Palace Master Su, I apologize for the intrusion. I am Song Jinniang, and I am in charge of the soul beast fur business in Notting City for my brother-in-law, Viscount Zhao Lei. I have long heard of Palace Master Su's young and promising talents, and I am finally able to offer my congratulations in person today."

Su Yuntao quickly reviewed the major powers in Notting City in his mind. Viscount Zhao Lei was one of the few powerful nobles in the Fanos Province. He owned several fur processing workshops in Notting City and his business was quite large.

Song Jinniang was his wife's younger sister. She had been running a fur business in Nottingham for many years and had a wide network of connections. She was someone who couldn't be easily offended.

He stood up and cupped his hands in greeting: "Manager Song, you're too kind. Please have a seat. Master Xiu Nuo, bring some tea."

Song Jinniang sat down on the guest chair, gracefully adjusted her shawl, and said with a smile:

"Palace Master Su took office a few days ago. I should have come to pay my respects earlier, but I went on a long trip to collect hides. When I came back and heard the news of your promotion, I rushed over. Congratulations, Palace Master Su. You have a bright future ahead of you, having taken up this position at such a young age."

Su Yuntao smiled and shook his head:

"It was just good luck; I happened to be noticed by someone higher up. I don't really have any real skills."

"Palace Master Su is too modest." Song Jinniang covered her mouth and chuckled. "I used to have some dealings with the Su family, but after Old Master Su passed away in recent years, the Su family's business has shrunk considerably, so we've gradually lost touch. In a way, we're old acquaintances."

Su Yuntao nodded with a smile on his face, but secretly found it amusing.

What old acquaintance?

It's more accurate to say they've completely cut off all contact.

When his father, Su Yuanshan, was alive, their baronial territory did indeed have some fur trading dealings with Song Jinniang's side.

But after his father died, no one in the Su family could support the business, so Song Jinniang naturally stopped sending people. Although the two families hadn't broken off relations openly, they had actually lost contact for several years.

Song Jinniang brought up the phrase "old acquaintance" simply to find a pretext for her visit today.

However, he didn't intend to expose him; he understood the principle of making money through harmony in business.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Song Jinniang changed the subject:

"Lord Su, I've prepared a small banquet at Yuelai Restaurant tonight. Firstly, I want to celebrate your promotion, and secondly..." She leaned slightly forward, her tone a bit more intimate than before, "I also want to talk to you about our future cooperation. I've heard some rumors about the hidden arrow the Su family has been working on recently, and I find it quite interesting."

Su Yuntao understood.

They're after the hidden blade again.

In the meantime, he has received numerous inquiries from businesses seeking collaborations.

After news of the hidden blade spread, several merchants in the city sent people to inquire about it. Some wanted to become agents or distributors, some wanted to purchase in large quantities, and some even wanted to buy out the production rights.

Song Jinniang personally came to invite him to dinner, most likely because she had her eye on this path.

Su Yuntao knew that if he wanted to expand the hidden blade business, it wouldn't be enough to rely solely on the Baron's blacksmith shop; he needed to build connections and channels outside.

On the other hand, he can't cooperate with everyone who comes to him; he has to choose reliable people with whom he can work long-term, lest he get ripped off and end up helping them count the money.

"Manager Song is too kind; I should have attended the banquet in person."

Su Yuntao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said sincerely:

"But as you know, my current identity is the branch hall master of the Spirit Hall. Getting too close to the surrounding nobles would not be good for either side if word got out. However, my mother, Madam Liu, knows everything about the hidden arrow. If you don't mind, I'll have my mother attend the banquet. You can discuss the specifics of the cooperation with her. She can make all the decisions on this matter."

Song Jinniang was an extremely shrewd person, and upon hearing this, she immediately understood Su Yuntao's meaning—he was willing to cooperate, but did not want to get involved personally, and planned to leave all business matters to his family to manage.

She smiled and nodded, her tone completely unreluctant: "Palace Master Su's consideration is very thoughtful. I understand. Then I will await Madam Liu's arrival."

She chatted for a few more minutes, then got up to say goodbye.

Su Yuntao got up and saw her to the door. Song Jinniang turned around, smiled slightly at him, and left gracefully.
