Chapter 781 Follow the Rules

These days, as soon as the escort agency opens, these people come and refuse to leave until they see the boss behind them, otherwise no one can do business with them.

Business is already slow these days. With what the Haoguo Escort Agency has done, how can they continue their business and survive?

Before the master and his disciple even entered the door, people from the Haoguo Escort Agency came out to greet them.

Seeing the old man walking in front with his head held high and chest puffed out, Zhou Guo walked behind like a grandson, and didn't know how to greet him for a moment.

Zhou Guo winked at him and nodded at the old man.

Niu Si understood and immediately said to the old man: "You are here, everyone is waiting."

The old man nodded and walked towards the hall without slowing down.

When everyone in the hall saw the old man striding in from outside with his head held high, without a smile on his face, for some reason, they all stood up subconsciously. It was obvious that he was a veteran escort and no one knew how many years he had been doing this.

The old man sat down in the first seat, and Zhou Guo stood beside him, looking at the group of people unceremoniously.

There are old, middle-aged and young people, from every family, from the old to the young, all of them have come out. Judging from his appearance, he is a martial artist, but I don't know how powerful he is.

The old man looked at them and didn't speak first. Instead, he took a sip of tea.

Everyone looked at each other and then realized that they had stood up. They couldn't help feeling embarrassed. The key point was that this old man looked very arrogant, but he didn't even say a word to sit down?

One of them couldn't help but sit down, holding his breath and said, "Is this how the Good Fruit Escort Agency treats guests? I really don't know where this guy came from. Didn't anyone teach you that when you come to our door, you are a guest, how should you treat them?"

The old man took another sip of tea and glanced at Zhou Guo: How should I answer?

Zhou Guo blinked: Answer whatever you want.

The old man put down the tea bowl, looked at the person who was talking and said, "It's good to have a seat and tea, and I didn't chase you out."

That man was angry.

Another person came straight to the point and said, "Old man, we came to the Haoguo Escort Agency today to ask for an explanation. We are all from the same family. You just arrived, so why don't you come to pay homage to the leader? How can you do something like this to steal someone else's business?"

"That's right, every industry has its own rules, and you have to abide by the rules when you work in this industry!"

The old man was curious, "Why are we prying her away? Why are we breaking the rules?"

He really didn't know. He was not the boss behind the Haoguo Escort Agency, and Zhou Guo would not tell him what he had done.

A group of people were so angry that if it weren't for his age and the fact that they were on someone else's territory, they would have rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

"How do you pry a wall apart? Don't you know how to pry a wall apart?"

One of them started to accuse, and he slapped the table with his big hands, making it seem like it was about to fall apart.

Zhou Guo thought to himself, this person looks tall and strong, but he has no strength or force, and yet he slapped the table so many times in anger, but the small table is still stable. He thought to himself, if she was so angry, she would only use 20% of her strength in one slap and the table would fall apart.

The old man frowned and listened. After listening, he glanced at Zhou Guo and saw that he didn't know what she was thinking.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Anything else?"

"Anything else? Old man, please don't go too far. Isn't this enough?"

Everyone glared at him.

The old man said, "I have been in this business for at least thirty years, if not forty years. I have been to many places in the world, but I have never heard of a rule that forbids others from opening a business."

Zhou Guo looked at these people proudly. She had never heard of it either.

Several people looked at each other, and the one who looked a few years younger than the old man said, "If you say so, then the Good Fruit Escort Agency is determined to do what it wants?"

The old man said calmly, "Everyone does business based on their own abilities. We didn't slander you, we didn't deliberately lower the price, and we didn't come to cause trouble to steal customers. We abide by the rules. You come to cause trouble just because you are not as skilled as others. Everyone, Haoguo Escort Agency is never afraid of trouble."

The people from the escort agency who were listening outside were rubbing their hands in anticipation. The old man was right, they were not afraid of trouble.

The bosses looked at each other and said, "Then follow the rules. If you win, we won't ask any questions. If you lose, you have to follow our rules."

The old man didn't comment, but looked at Zhou Guo and nodded, "Okay, we are all in the same line of work, I'll give you this honor."

Zhou Guo asked in a low voice: "Master, what are the rules?"

The old man whispered back: "How should I know? Didn't you hear them? This is their rule."

Zhou Guo said: "Then why did you agree to them? Do you know what they are going to do?"

The old man said disdainfully: "Look at their appearance, what can they do? They can use force, but can they use words?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard them say, "Old rules, best of three!"

really.

Three people came out from the opposite side. They were three strong men with sturdy builds and bright eyes. They looked very powerful.

"These are three of our men. As long as you defeat two of them, you win."

Zhou Guo stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm here. My brothers are not here, so I'll take a loss. I'll be good to the three of them. After all, we are guests here, so it's only right that you take advantage of us."

The group of people on the opposite side looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing that Zhou Guo was dressed like a young man from a rich family and didn't seem to know any martial arts, what did this mean?

Looking at the old man, "Is that what you mean?"

The old man nodded.

Seeing Zhou Guo's helpless appearance, the opponents really wanted to say no, but this competition was no joke. If they lost, they might not be able to eat in the future.

This courage only showed up for a moment, and was suppressed by them before he could stand firm.

Finally, there were still some rational people who pulled a few people and said, "Wait, don't act rashly. Look at this child, she is so confident. The old man also looks confident. Maybe he has some special skills. She dares to challenge the three of them. We can't let her do that."

"Oh, are you blind? Look at this kid, with skinny arms and legs, he is just a pampered young man, he just learned some kung fu from this old guy, he must be used to being flattered by the people below, he thinks he is so powerful, he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

"That makes sense. This one is easy to deal with. The ones next to him are hard to deal with. There's Niu Si and the eldest and second brothers. They're all martial artists. We're not sure we can beat these three."

Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true.

A few people acted rashly, and the benefits were too obvious to them, so they didn't have time to think carefully and fell into the trap.

"Okay, that's it, but let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to cry if you lose."
