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

The inner hall of the Jing Shang Yi Pin Lou restaurant.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned back in the main seat, closed his eyes, and slept very soundly.

Those present were still whispering among themselves.

His gaze kept drifting towards the person in the main seat, and his expression grew increasingly anxious.

Half an hour!

This is naturally not a long time for them on a normal day.

But now that such a good business opportunity is right in front of us, we can't wait even half an hour, let alone half a quarter of an hour.

Just then, Jiang Xiaobai moved his body, stretched, and slowly opened his eyes.

"She's awake! She's awake!"

Those present were immediately filled with surprise and delight upon witnessing this scene.

Jiang Xiaobai slowly sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and then looked at everyone present, saying, "Everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"Young Master, you're being too polite!"

One of the shop managers reacted quickly, his face earnest, "To be honest, it is truly an honor to see the young master resting today!"

"puff……"

Jiang Xiaobai had just taken a sip of tea when he almost spat it out, looking at the person in charge with a shocked expression.

This... can't be that bad, can it?

"Hmph, Steward Pan, what you're saying is utterly shameless!"

Upon hearing this, another person in charge looked disdainful: "Moreover... such a perfunctory approach shows absolutely no sincerity!"

After saying this, the person in charge looked at Jiang Xiaobai and smiled, saying, "Young Master, to be honest, the way you looked while you were sleeping just now reminded me of my father who died many years ago!"

"If the young master doesn't mind, I would like to acknowledge you as my godfather!"

what?

Jiang Xiaobai's mouth dropped open, and he froze in place.

"You're even more shameless than Steward Pan!"

Another steward nearby couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly stood up, saying, "Hmph, young master, I acknowledge you as my grandfather!"

"Who does Grandpa count for!"

The person behind gritted his teeth, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "Young Master, I acknowledge you as my ancestor!"

"Young Master, I..."

"Dada dada!"

Seeing that some people were about to speak, Jiang Xiaobai quickly waved his hand and said, "You should all stop!"

That's right, if this continues, he'll probably just ascend to heaven.

After the hall quieted down, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the expectant faces below and smiled helplessly.

However, judging from the attitude of these people, it's clear that his perfume is even more sought after than he imagined!

Moreover, this businessman is truly willing to go to any lengths for business!

After clearing his throat, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to remember something and glanced at Helian Zhaoyue, whose face was ashen: "To be honest, I have a bet with the Princess of Beiyu!"

"It will be me and Bei Yu who will each do business with your eight major merchant firms!"

"Finally... let's see whose people have more support!"

"Young Master, I'm the first to support you!"

The elderly manager of the business, without any hesitation, said resolutely, "As for my previous statement supporting the princess, that was simply a slip of the tongue due to my old age!"

Slip of the tongue?

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue's chest heaved.

Previously, this person had spoken with extraordinary conviction.

Now that he's seen the perfume business, it's become a slip of the tongue?

"I also support the young prince!"

"And there's Hengfeng too!"

"Shengkui Trading Company also supports Prince Jiang!"

"We support it too!"

The heads of the eight major merchants successively expressed their opinions, fearing that they would be too slow to speak, so Jiang Xiaobai handed the perfume over to someone else.

As for their business with Beiyu, they had already temporarily put it out of their minds in the face of perfume.

After all, the cooperation between Beiyu and Yu still needs to be discussed and negotiated gradually.

But Jiang Xiaobai's perfume is different.

Once you get your hands on this, it's like picking up silver.

"You can't do this!"

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and said, "At least one of you should support Beiyu, so they'll save face for you!"

"Right now, all eight of you are supporting me... this really puts me in a difficult position!"

Jiang Xiaobai then looked at Helian Zhaoyue: "Your Highness, why don't you think of a solution? What should we do?!"

boom!

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue slammed her hand heavily on the table, stood up, and glared at Jiang Xiaobai through gritted teeth, saying, "Jiang Xiaobai, don't be so smug!"

"Oh, am I being smug?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue, who was clearly annoyed, and said with a smile, "I'm just concerned about you!"

"Hmph, do I, a princess, need your concern?"

Helian Zhaoyue snorted coldly and said, "Besides, regarding the bet you mentioned, I'm sorry... I don't know what Prince Jiang is talking about!"

"Your Highness, are you perhaps a sore loser?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Hmph, anyway, I don't know anything about it!"

Helian Zhaoyue gritted her teeth, then sat down again, adopting a "do whatever you want" attitude.

"hiss……"

Jiang Xiaobai gasped.

No, the princess had sworn before that she would never renege on her promise.

So now, you're the one who's started acting up?

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's astonished expression, Helian Zhaoyue felt much better and let out another cold snort.

As long as she doesn't admit it, what can this scoundrel do to her?

Teng Zixiu sat next to him, opened his mouth, and finally could only manage a bitter smile.

You should know that their princess had previously said that one must always keep one's promises and never go back on one's word.

Moreover, their princess had said that the people she despised most in her life were those cunning and treacherous individuals who acted like scoundrels.

Now this...

Not only Teng Zixiu, but also the other members of the Northern Yu delegation who came with him had strange expressions.

But Helian Zhaoyue sat there without even glancing at them, clearly determined not to acknowledge the bet.

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged helplessly, ultimately too lazy to argue with this woman. He turned to Fang Rongshan and said, "Boss Fang, as I just said, the initial launch rights for the perfume will be given to your Fang family!"

"That won't change!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Rongshan stood up excitedly and bowed to Jiang Xiaobai.

"The young master entrusted such an important business to the Fang family; I, Fang, will forever remember this kindness!"

Only at this moment did he understand why Fang Tong trusted Jiang Xiaobai so much.

With this perfume, the Fang family can go even further.

future……

It's not impossible for the Fang family to become the tenth business in Dahua!

As he spoke, Fang Rongshan glanced at Fang Tong beside him and continued, "Furthermore, young master, it is truly a blessing accumulated by our Fang family ancestors that my son is able to become your disciple!"

"Don't worry, once I return to Suzhou, I will personally go to the Elder of the Green Robe Society and explain this matter clearly. It will absolutely... not cause you any trouble!"

"father!"

Fang Tong's expression immediately turned strange upon hearing this: "You didn't say that before!"

"Shut up, you unfilial son!"

Fang Rongshan's face flushed slightly as he glared at Fang Tong and said, "That's exactly what I said from the beginning!!"
