“Hey… who would refuse more money when doing business?” Xu Zhengfei tapped on the counter and asked. “Get me your boss. I want to know what he is going to say. Do you not recognize Lin Yuan’s Xu family?” Xu Zhengfei said, showing off the emblem on his left chest.
The woman frowned. She felt uneasy facing the powerful Lin Yuan’s Xu family. “Mr. Xu Yang…”
Xu Yang said lightly, “You don’t need to be bothered by such annoying flies. Your words and deeds represent the Thousand-Treasures Pavilion’s reputation.”
The woman then made up her mind and said, “I’m sorry. Mr. Xu Yang was the first to show interest in this Red Dragon Root. I have to sell it to him. Sir, I can take another one from the warehouse if you need it.”
1Xu Zhengfei was furious. He grabbed Xu Yang by the collar of his clothes and shouted, “You sure have the guts, you trash. You have become bolder in the three months that I haven’t seen you. How dare you snatch things from me and say I am a fly?”
Xu Yang said coldly, “My apologies, I did not put it in the right way.”
Xu Zhengfei, who did not dare to create problems here, hummed. “It’s good that you admit it.” Then, he let go of Xu Yang.
“What I mean was, you are not even comparable to a fly. Saying that you are a fly is an insult to it.” Xu Yang said slowly.
The woman could not help laughing. She did not think that Xu Yang, who seemed so quiet, could make somebody so mad.
“You!” Xu Zhengfei was angry. “Trash, when we leave this place, let’s see if you will still have that guts of yours!”
“You too, what are you laughing about? I’m getting this Red Dragon Root today. Wrap it up for me quickly. Don’t give me nonsense about the warehouse. I don’t have such patience to wait!” Xu Zhengfei growled at the female salesperson.
A lot of people were watching on the sidelines. Seeing that they were the members of the Xu family, no one was willing to step forward and give themselves trouble.
“What’s the matter, Qing Yun?” An elegant female voice sounded. “I’m entertaining important guests. Why is it so noisy outside?”
Afterwards, the inner pavilion door opened with a squeak and a man and a woman slowly walked out.
“Sis Yu Rong…” The woman named Qing Yun quickly stepped forward. “This Mr. Xu has been very insistent. I can’t do anything about it.”
After listening to Qing Yun’s explanation, the woman named Yu Rong frowned and stepped forward. “Mr. Xu, don’t you think that you might ruin Lin Yuan’s Xu family’s reputation by quarreling here?”
As the woman approached them, she attracted everyone’s attention. The saleswoman named Qing Yun was pretty, but she was hardly noticeable when standing beside the ‘Sis Yu Rong’.
The woman was wearing a long lake green dress. She had no makeup on but her natural beauty exuded itself vibrantly. Her well-endowed breasts shook as she moved forward, making it hard for people to look away. However, she had a dignified temperament which made people feel that looking at her breasts was blasphemy.
Xu Zhengfei was attracted by this woman’s appearance, and his anger dissipated considerably. However, he refused to let go of Xu Yang, who had always been underestimated by him. “I’m fighting for the reputation of the family. I must buy this Red Dragon Root. Of course, I’m not that unreasonable. I will leave immediately if this useless Xu Yang is able to bid a higher price.”
Yu Rong frowned. She did not manage to say another word as the young man next to her laughed. “Xu Yang? What a coincidence, we meet again but this time you are not wearing a bamboo hat.”
1Xu Yang recognized the teenager but he did not take the initiative to talk to him. Seeing that this teenager had taken the initiative to acknowledge him, he saluted and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Li Wang.”
Yu Rong exhaled and looked at Li Wang. “Young master, do you know this Mr. Xu Yang?”
This teenager was Li Wang who had seen Xu Yang once. He laughed and said, “I have seen him once before but we do not know each other well.”
Li Wang!
The audience was shocked. Li Wang was known as the number one young master of Lin Yuan City as he was the grandson of Lord Lin Yuan, Li Zhou Ping. Li Wang was also known as the ‘little official’.
“I didn’t know that you are Little Official. It’s nice to meet you,” Xu Zhengfei was shocked when he found out that Li Wang and Xu Yang knew each other. However, after listening to Li Wang saying that the two were not close, he regained his composure, “The Xu family presented a gift to congratulate you on your coming-of-age ceremony. It was not my luck to meet you back then. I’m sorry for being rude.”
Li Wang smiled slightly and said, “This manager in the Thousand-Treasures Pavilion is named Li Yurong. She is my friend.”
‘Both of them have the same surname. What is their relationship? Is it true that there are rumors that the Thousand-Treasures Pavilion has the government backing it?’ Xu Yang thought to himself, as he bowed and apologized quickly.
Li Yurong said, “Since this is the case, then this Red Dragon Root…”
Before she could finish talking, Xu Zhengfei said, “The Red Dragon Root is a matter between me and Xu Yang. You don’t need to worry about it. I will let him choose to give up.” After ensuring that Li Wang was not close to Xu Yang, he was composed and decided not to let it go.
He believed that Little Official would know how to choose between trash who was almost disowned from the family and another direct descendant of the Xu family.
“Hey trash, even if you insist on buying the Red Dragon Root, I guarantee that you won’t be able to walk out of the Thousand-Treasures Pavilion alive.” Xu Zhengfei threatened as he inched closer to Xu Yang.
On the other side, the tall Xu Zhengzha also came over with his cold and frightening facial expression. It was obvious what they were about to do.
Li Wang’s expression turned cold as he said, “Xu Zhengfei, do you think that my prestige is not enough?”
Xu Zhengfei was surprised. Realizing that there was something off about Li Wang’s tone, he quickly turned around and said, “Little Official…”
“Stop talking nonsense. I’ll give you ten breaths to get out of the Thousand-Treasures Pavilion.” Li Wang glanced at him in disgust. To be honest, Xu Zhengfei was not even a useful chip in his eyes.
“This,” Xu Zhengfei was stunned. “Didn’t you say that you barely know Xu Yang as you have only met him once?”
