The north side of Helan City was located in a secluded area. There were few merchants and there weren't many markets. Thus, it was natural that it was one of the poorer areas.

In the north of the city, there was a large courtyard house. Within the courtyard was a dilapidated courtyard house. The damage to the house was rather dilapidated as a few poor people gathered within the courtyard house. On the two doors, there was a wooden sign with the words "Green Dragon Gang" written on it. Beneath the wooden sign was something like a doorknob on a buckle. There were two people standing outside the door with ferocious expressions. They were not people with superior martial skills. Upon taking a look, one could tell they were hulks from the market. There were no differences between them.

Most of these people were wearing tattered clothing, and most of them were from poor families. The only one who was leading them was a person wearing gorgeous clothes, with delicate skin and tender flesh. It was obvious that he was not a random person among them.

The person who came was Ge Chen. Right now, he had to accept this Azure Dragon Gang as a guest. This caused this empty courtyard to become even more lively.

At this time of the day, a few people had already eaten lunch in the courtyard. The lunch was extremely simple. It was nothing more than a few grains along with some light green vegetables and some oily and sparse soup. However, these people ate very sweetly.

Ge Chen glanced at the courtyard and saw the group of people eating with their heads lowered. He felt bitter in his heart.

Ge Chen glanced at Ma San, who was beside him, and signaled for him to announce the news to everyone. He then retracted his gaze and stood up straight. On that young and tender face, there was a rather aged look.

In the conversation with Ma San yesterday, Ge Chen already knew the background of these people. Most of them were laborers who worked hard to earn a living. They were all very loyal, and there were both old and young people in their families. They worked very hard at anything. Ge Chen, who was aware of this, was very confident in these poor people and felt a trace of pity.

Ma San stepped out from the crowd. The moment he stepped out, the people who were eating looked as if they had seen hope. Their expressions were solemn as they looked at their third in command.

"Hey, brothers, let me introduce him to everyone. This is our new boss, his name is Ge Chen. He'll be our Boss Ge from now on. Everyone, don't be slow on our new boss!" Ge Chen's voice was very loud and his tone was very thick, making his speech very clear.

When the people below heard this, they looked at the luxuriously dressed boy in front of them, and their eyes revealed a trace of distrust.

These people were all coolies. The work was tiring, so what could this kid do with his tender skin and flesh?

Let him carry a bag that weighed more than a hundred pounds? Wasn't he crushed to death?

Who knew what kind of tricks Ma San was playing? How could he let this spearhead kid be the boss?

And this Ma San indeed had some status amongst the crowd. No one refuted what he said, and they could only grunt in agreement. However, that expression of disdain and unease was very obvious. No one would easily believe this brat.

This point was something Ge Chen was very clear of.

After Ma San finished his introduction, Ge Chen took a step forward and bowed to the laborers.

Many of those who looked down on him now had a little bit of good will towards him.

At the very least, this brat was very polite. He didn't look down on others like the other great officials. He was very polite, and it made people very comfortable.

Ge Chen pointed at everyone's rice bowls and smiled: "Is this what you eat every day? This is porridge, I don't see many grains of rice here! "

Amongst the crowd, an older man in his thirties stood up.

The man was covered in patches. His clothes were old, disheveled, and dirty. His shoes had a hole in them, revealing his black toes.

He smiled, and his smile was very gentle. He looked at Ge Chen, "Little …" Boss, this is the situation of our gang. You know, in recent years, many cultivators have come to our place without many things. Most of them are for each of us, so we don't need to hire porters. Those sects often requisitioned ships to transport things for their own use. They didn't need porters at all; they were disciples of their own sects. As the number of moving businesses dwindled, so did our income. "Now that I can't even afford to keep my wife and children, I can only starve along with my porridge."

Ge Chen had also heard of the current situation of Helian City.

Indeed, ever since the Immortal Cultivation Sect had taken over a lot of land in the city, the amount of foreign merchants and merchants had dwindled significantly. Especially those vile cultivation sects, they always liked to take over merchant ships to transport materials used by cultivators. As a result, the business of the city became more and more sluggish.

Most of the merchants in Helan City were local merchants. Some of the outsiders couldn't compete with them. Seeing that there was nothing to be gained, they also gave up on the idea of making money.

After all, in this place with a relatively wealthy economy, self-sufficiency was very strong. This also created an idea, and that was to exclude others!

Ge Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and smiled: "Friend, what's your name?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My surname is Lu, my name is Lu Wang Cai, I'm a porter of the Azure Dragon Gang, and I'm also a member of their gang." The corners of his mouth curled up in a bitter smile, "Boss, I don't know if you can bring us any wealth. My family still needs me to do my best to raise them."

Hearing this, Ge Chen's face had a look of sympathy on it. Although he did not know what to do, he still nodded his head.

Ge Chen knew in his heart that he had all the money on him. This time, he had sufficient silver and gold notes on him when he came to Helan City. Originally, he did not plan to bring all these along, but Ge Ye's father had forcefully prepared them for him.

Who knew how long his son's career would take? He had been pampered since he was young and couldn't suffer outside either?

This moved Ge Chen. After all, his fatherly love was as heavy and profound as a mountain.

However, this money was now of great use.

Ge Chen smiled at these people, his voice was extremely loud, allowing everyone to hear him clearly.

"Brothers, since I am your boss, then I naturally have to take responsibility. If you meet me, it's your fortune, because I can bring you wealth. As long as you follow me, I guarantee that you'll eat and drink to your heart's content. Please believe me! " Ge Chen spoke with a serious tone and made up his mind.

After all, this was his first power. Although it was a little small, but who knew what would happen in the future? It might be his first wave of power.

Seeing that no one has any objections, Ge Chen continued, "Everyone should rest for today. In the afternoon, I will get Ol 'Three to give everyone 5 copper coins as their salary for today. In the evening, we will have a good meal, and we will have a good development together in the future! "

Everyone cheered happily as their favorable impression of the new boss increased by a few points.

After giving these instructions, Ge Chen gave Ma San a meaningful glance and walked towards the house.
