[QUOTE="John E Smoke, post: 1321062, member: 16129"] [b]Golden Flower Bar[/b] Mark Huan nods and sits back in his chair with a contemplative expression. "I had figured as much. Well, it's a good thing you've come to me. Unlike many of my associates, I've always made sure to keep my ear to the door, so to speak. With the recent troubles we've all been having lately, it's become very important to know these things. Who's loyal to who, who's in trouble, and most importanly, who you can trust. Everything I hear about you indicates that despite the company you have a habit of keeping, you are still a man of principle at heart." Huan lights a cigar, then offers one to Mao and continues. "Yes, I do believe we can reach an agreement quite beneficial to us both." As Mao begins to reply, Jadefinger Long storms into the room. "Mark, we need to talk. [i]Now[/i]." Huan stands up, concerned, and replies. "Of course, Mr. Long! Please, sit down. I was just discussing business with our new business partner here. Mr. Long, this is Ji Jiao Mao.
