Zhou Qingchuan knew Ye Beiming earlier than Yun Sheng by a few years. At that time, Yun Sheng was just a deserted girl who had just arrived in Yujing.
As the young master of the continent's leading commerce Wuji Commerce, Zhou Qingchuan had been learning various affairs of the commerce early on, following his grandfather, Chairman Zhou.
Back then, Ye Beiming was still a low-key former abolished Crown Prince, but he had already begun secretly cultivating his own forces.
After Empress Li's death, she left some properties and old subordinates to Ye Beiming.
Upon returning to Yujing City, Ye Beiming reorganized these subordinates and purchased the Wanlong Gambling House.
Within a few years, Wanlong Gambling House rapidly accumulated wealth inside Yujing City, becoming a local bully.
At that time, hidden behind Wanlong Gambling House, Ye Beiming had already had some dealings with Long Huo and Wuji Commerce involving weapons, medicinal materials, and soul stones.
