My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai chuckled and looked at the leading elder, saying, "Why can't I sit in this position?"

"Hmph, is that even a question?"

The elderly man leading the group sneered, "Only the president of our Beijing Chamber of Commerce is qualified to sit in this position!"

"I don't care about your status, even if you're royalty or nobility. Within our Yipinlou, this rule applies!"

"So, please come down!!"

He could naturally tell that Jiang Xiaobai had an impressive background, but in Yipinlou, it wasn't just about background!

"President?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Xiao Qingxiu can't even show up for such an important occasion without permission!"

"He's not a very good... president!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai deliberately shifted his posture in the chair and said, "So, from today onwards, how about I take over as the chairman?"

Many people present were stunned upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words.

Jiang Xiaobai is really bold!

The middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Xiaobai, clearly surprised, and then smiled gently.

"Young Master Jiang!"

Xie Qiulai, regaining his composure, immediately turned pale and said, "Don't talk nonsense! The position of chairman isn't something you can just give up so easily!"

"Our young prince must have had some urgent business to attend to, otherwise... how could he possibly be absent from today's discussions!"

"Oh……"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled twice, ignoring Xie Qiulai, and continued to look at the four elders in front of him: "What do you four think?"

"Replacing the current president won't be that easy!"

The elderly man leading the group frowned and said, "You can't achieve that!"

"Whether it reaches or not, you tell me!"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed twice, raised his hand and said, "What if... this young master is really more suitable than the young prince?"

"Alright, then I'll tell you about it!"

The elderly man leading the group said coldly, "First, if you want to take the position of president of the Beijing Merchants Association, you must invest one million taels of silver in the Beijing Merchants Association!"

"Can you come up with one million taels?"

"One million?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked surprised.

That's quite a lot!

The old man noticed Jiang Xiaobai's expression and then glanced at the managers of the eight major merchant houses.

"In addition, the rotation of the chairmanship requires the joint support of the eight major businesses!"

"Furthermore, if even one person refuses, you won't be able to take over as chairman. Can you really handle that?"

At this point, the old man glanced around and said, "As far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be a single person here who supports you, does there?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, you've done an excellent job as chairman, and our cooperation has been extremely pleasant. Why would you want to replace me?"

At this moment, the elderly manager of the business smiled faintly and made his stance clear on the spot.

Indeed, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is extremely powerful, but the young prince is backed by the royal family.

Surely the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion wouldn't turn against the royal family over something like this?

That's why he's naturally not afraid of offending Jiang Xiaobai.

"That's right!"

At this moment, another manager of the merchant guild spoke up, "Although the young prince is not here today, today's matters can still be discussed!"

"That's right!"

The heads of the eight major merchant houses spoke one after another.

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more lively, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly burst into laughter.

Upon hearing the laughter, the entire hall fell silent, and all eyes turned to Jiang Xiaobai.

What's so funny about this?

As everyone frowned, Jiang Xiaobai's laughter gradually subsided: "If it were really that simple..."

"Does that mean the chairmanship is really going to change hands today?"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai chuckled and said, "I wonder what the young prince will think when he comes out and finds that there's no longer a place for him in this prestigious restaurant!"

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Xie Qiulai's face was full of anger, and his hands were clenched tightly.

The things this guy said were really infuriating!

Helian Zhaoyue's brows also furrowed deeply.

Yes, she was a little confused at this moment. Under such rare circumstances, why did Jiang Xiaobai dare to speak like that?

Could it be...?

This guy really has a way of getting the people from the eight major trading companies to listen to him.

But how could that be!

Just rely on that so-called perfume balm that Jiang Xiaobai mentioned?

But for some reason, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's confident appearance, Helian Zhaoyue felt a little uneasy.

Teng Zixiu also frowned, staring intently at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Young Master, I'm sorry!"

Just then, the elderly manager of the business spoke first: "I will not support you!"

"Me too!"

With the representatives of the eight major merchant houses expressing their support, Helian Zhaoyue and Teng Zixiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Not a single company supports Jiang Xiaobai.

This time, Jiang Xiaobai is probably just daydreaming!

"Hey, Tong'er, come back to Suzhou with me this time!"

Fang Rongshan shook his head and sighed, then looked at Fang Tong and said, "When you get back, explain things clearly to the Grand Secretary. From now on... don't come to the capital again!"

Jiang Xiaobai's outburst today has only made him a laughingstock to those present.

Fang Rongshan didn't know why Jiang Xiaobai was doing this.

But... someone with this kind of personality wouldn't want his son to become his apprentice.

Moreover, Fang Tong's original teacher was the elder of the Qingshan Society.

How could he accept that someone like Jiang Xiaobai would abandon such a person and instead follow him to cause trouble?

"No!"

Fang Tong shook his head without any hesitation.

"You silly child!!"

Fang Rongshan frowned deeply, just about to continue his persuasion, when footsteps sounded outside again.

Everyone present looked up and saw a figure walking in from outside.

The person who arrived was none other than Tang Ningshuang.

Tang Ningshuang walked into the hall and looked somewhat puzzled when she saw so many people standing inside.

However, although she was curious, she didn't think much of it.

As her gaze shifted, Tang Ningshuang quickly spotted Jiang Xiaobai, who was sitting firmly in the main seat, and immediately walked over to him.

After arriving at Jiang Xiaobai's side, Tang Ningshuang didn't say much, but simply placed the small bottle she had prepared on the table next to her.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at them, a smile appearing on his face. He picked one up and saw the liquid inside gently swaying.

"Everyone, watch carefully!"

Jiang Xiaobai held up the bottle, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said, "This... is the perfume I made!"

"Unique in the entire Greater China region!"

"Um?"

All eyes turned to the bottle in Jiang Xiaobai's hand.

It's important to know that perfume balm is called perfume balm because its contents are naturally in the form of a paste.

But the bottle Jiang Xiaobai is holding now contains a clear liquid.

After a brief silence, laughter rang out again in the hall.

The elderly manager of the business pointed at the bottle in Jiang Xiaobai's hand, his face full of amusement.

"Young Master Jiang, although I am old, I am not senile!"

"You... call this perfume?"

……

Hey everyone, I've updated four times again! Didn't expect that, did you?! Hehehe...
