"Not in service? Did Sister Tang Li leave the sanctuary?"
Peng Yixuan murmured in confusion, listening to the voice from the phone.
Seeing this, Tang Guo also advised, "Yixuan, he really is the 'Omnipotent Merchant', not a scammer. If you don't believe me, you can ask your dad when he gets back."
Peng Yixuan was still a little worried. "What if he takes you to a remote place and kidnaps you?"
Hearing this, Tang Li smiled and projected her voice through the mental speaker, "Then I'll have Tang Guo drive, you must be more at ease then, right?"
The reason Tang Guo wanted to follow was to help Tang Li drive so Tang Li could rest on the road.
With Peng Yixuan's presence, Tang Guo could legitimately drive and avoid switching back halfway.
Peng Yixuan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still said, "Okay, let Sister Tang Guo drive. But I have to go with you!"
Thus, the three of them set off together, with Tang Guo driving, leaving Jiangcheng Sanctuary and heading towards the "Tianwang Gang" camp in F City.
On the way, Tang Li asked Tang Guo in front of Peng Yixuan if she was willing to be her agent.
"Agent?"
Tang Guo and Peng Yixuan asked in unison.
Tang Guo instinctively wanted to agree to Tang Li's words.
However, Peng Yixuan remained vigilant towards this suddenly appearing "Omnipotent Merchant."
After all, he dealt in the black market and was very mysterious.
To have so many supplies and to keep them safe in his hands, he must be no ordinary person.
So, she was the first to ask, "What is an agent? Why do you want Sister Tang Guo to be your agent? Why not me?"
Tang Li explained, "I am usually very busy and do not appear frequently. An agent is someone who acts on my behalf and relays messages for me."
"In the future, the F City stronghold that will cooperate with the 'United Team' for business, as well as selling goods and collecting scrap there, will all be handled by the agent. I will only interact with the agent."
"Tang Guo has been selling electrical appliances and recycling scrap in the base for over two months, and she is very familiar with it. If I find her as an agent, she can start immediately."
"As for you, young lady, you should also be a member of the 'United Team', right?"
"Your 'United Team' cooperating with me to run the stronghold was originally to distance yourselves. If I find an agent from the 'United Team', then the original intention of your cooperation with me would be nullified, wouldn't it?"
Peng Yixuan blinked, not understanding the last sentence.
But she still pretended to understand and nodded.
She then asked, "What are the benefits of being your agent?"
"How about a 1% commission?"
If the stronghold was built and collected scrap from surrounding abandoned towns and villages, then traded them for various supplies, the profit would definitely be many times more than earning one million points in the black market in a month.
A 1% commission would mean at least ten thousand points a month, and likely more.
Peng Yixuan instinctively bargained, "1%? That's too little!"
"Then 5%."
"So accommodating? Is there a hidden agenda?" Peng Yixuan asked vigilantly again.
Tang Guo finally couldn't help but speak, "Um... I agree, it's 1% commission."
In fact, she originally didn't want any commission and was fine with a fixed salary like before.
But seeing Peng Yixuan constantly questioning Tang Li, she felt a pang of sympathy and didn't want to decline further, wasting Tang Li's rest time.
She also said to Tang Li, "Boss Li, you look quite tired, you should get some sleep first."
Hearing Tang Guo say this, Peng Yixuan didn't say anything more.
However, her eyes darted between Tang Guo and Tang Li.
After a while, she quietly asked, "Sister Tang Guo, do you like Boss Li?"
Hearing this, Tang Guo's driving faltered, and she almost hit the guardrail by the roadside.
