Protect Our Chief

No one else could refute, after all, Saint Master Jiang indeed hailed from the Celestial Mansion Jiang Family.

The chubby Shopkeeper Jiang said with a fake smile, "Mr. Wang, I inquired thoroughly before coming here. Your Wang Family has long mastered the technology of mass producing refined coal and refined iron. Now, the entire Longzuo Yan Family mines coal and produces refined coal and refined iron in their own territories. The cost of one jin of refined iron has already been reduced to two or three large coppers by you."

"The material and transportation costs of one refined iron pot combined are at most thirty to forty large coppers, yet you charge me one Qian Gold and fifty large coppers! Isn’t that too dark? Are you looking down on our Jiang Family, looking down on Saint Master Jiang?"

"Take a right turn when you go out, and go about your business." Wang Yinglai waved him away with a cold sneer, "If you really have the ability to get Saint Master Jiang to come to my factory, I’ll give you this batch of pots for free."

Today’s Wang Yinglai was no longer the naive little girl who had just graduated from the Clan Academy. At over ninety years old, she had already reached the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, and there was nothing she hadn’t seen.

Shopkeeper Jiang’s face darkened a bit. How could he have the ability to invite Saint Master Jiang? Let alone him, even the current Ancestor Jiang of the Jiang Family found it difficult to meet Saint Master Jiang.

He was used to taking advantage by name-dropping Saint Master Jiang in usual dealings, but unexpectedly, the Wang Family was now so powerful that they simply ignored this tactic.

He really wanted to utter some harsh words but dared not; the Wang Family was by no means insignificant. He had to smile awkwardly and, rounding off the conversation, signed the order and paid the deposit in full.

After all, this business could earn quite a bit. Local blacksmiths would sell one pot for three or four Qian Gold, and many poor tenant farmers and civilians would regard a pot as a family heirloom.

After completing this deal, Wang Yinglai politely saw Shopkeeper Jiang off without even having the interest to invite him for a meal.

"Fifteenth Granny," Wang Ningxi, who had silently witnessed the entire affair, sincerely praised, "The way you do business is truly domineering, completely in control of the opponent."

"Oh, isn’t this Ning Xi? Rare guest, rare guest, come, tea or coffee." Wang Yinglai teasingly joked with a smile, "I heard you broke off an engagement privately and were severely spanked by your father. Has your butt healed so quickly?"

The ocean fleets of Long Wuji and Wang Shihao discovered some special hot drink seeds on native islands. After bringing them back and experimenting with planting them, Patriarch Wang Shouzhe named it ’coffee.’

Due to Wang Shouzhe’s promotion, this item quickly became popular within the Wang Family and gradually spread to other families and even among the wealthy merchant class.

Wang Ningxi was extremely embarrassed; it seemed that good news couldn’t travel while bad news traveled a thousand miles, and now probably everyone in the Wang Family knew about his broken engagement and spanking.

Was there no one to care for his fragile and sensitive patient soul? He rolled his eyes fiercely, "Coffee is expensive lately, I’ll take coffee."

"By the way, I also heard some gossip," Wang Yinglai said as she poured him a cup of her self-brewed hand-ground coffee while continuing to tease, "I heard that Miss Shangguan cried at home for three days after receiving the breakup letter. This quickly spread throughout Gui Long City, and young ladies from all over called you a faithless scumbag and said they’re forming a group to beat you up in Changning Guard."

"My dear grand-nephew Ningxi, congratulations, you’ve become famous in Gui Long City. Countless young ladies are secretly sticking needles into doll versions of you."

"Oh, and there’s a guy named Shangguan Yunhong who is already on the road with Miss Shangguan."

Wang Ningxi froze!

This life, from the very start,

is too difficult...

All I did was break off an engagement, seriously...?
