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

"this……"

The people downstairs at Yipinlou looked embarrassed when they heard Jiang Xiaobai's words.

"President!"

At this moment, Tian Fangchi, who was sitting below, stood up, glanced awkwardly at Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "This gentleman is a senior elder of the First-Class Hall!"

"Our Yipinlou was originally built by one of the managers of Yipintang. After years of management, it has grown to its current size!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and looked the white-haired old man over again, saying, "Yipintang? Never heard of it!"

Tian Fangchi opened his mouth, about to explain, when the white-haired old man let out a heavy, cold snort.

"Young Master is not a member of the martial arts world, so it's not surprising that he hasn't heard of my First-Class Hall!"

After speaking, the white-haired old man sat down again, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and said calmly, "The reason I came here this time is very simple!"

"You're not cut out for the position of president of this prestigious establishment!"

"Furthermore, I've heard you've also started a perfume business. From now on, let the young prince manage it too!"

After he finished speaking, the inner hall immediately fell silent.

The four chairmen sat there, all looking embarrassed.

Making Jiang Xiaobai relinquish his chairmanship and perfume business is no longer a matter for negotiation.

To put it bluntly, it's blatant robbery.

"Ha ha!"

After regaining his senses, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at the white-haired old man and saying, "Old man, did a donkey kick your brain when you went out?"

"Just because you tell me to give way, does that mean I have to?"

"Boy, how dare you speak to our elders like that?"

The burly man snorted coldly again.

"Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Xiaobai's face also turned cold as he looked at the burly man and said, "If your elders hadn't stopped you, you would have been lying there asleep long ago!"

"you!"

The burly man took a step forward, his face somber.

"Alright!"

The white-haired old man stopped the burly man, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and coldly snorted, "Young Master Jiang, your Jiang family is full of loyal martyrs, I respect you!"

"I also have great respect for the Jiang family's army that guards the northern border!"

"But no matter how large the Jiang family's army is, it's impossible for them to protect you...from every angle, right?"

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening me?"

Tang Ningshuang stood to the side, her hand returning to the hilt of the sword.

Even through her bamboo hat, the eldest princess's gaze was somewhat cold.

"Hmph, that's not what I meant!"

The white-haired old man said calmly, "If you really don't want to give up the perfume business, that's fine with me!"

"But you'll need to contribute 50% of the profits to work with the young prince. As for... Yipinlou, I'll compromise and make you a vice president, how about that?!"

Xiao Qingxiu stood to the side, a smile returning to his face.

He didn't require Jiang Xiaobai to vomit up all the perfume; he just wanted 50% of the profit.

With the foundation laid by the Eighth Prince's Mansion and Yipinlou, there will be plenty of opportunities to turn around and swallow Jiang Xiaobai.

As for the vice president?

Haha, as long as he sits back in the main seat.

The vice president position is just a title; it has absolutely no real power!

Jiang Xiaobai found it quite amusing to look at the two of them.

That's quite a clever scheme!

You could probably hear it from ten miles away!

Helpless, Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look at the four chairmen below: "Can this old man's Yipin Hall really decide the affairs of our Yipin Tower?"

The four looked at each other, their expressions hesitant.

"nonsense!"

Before the four could speak, the white-haired elder said coldly, "From the very beginning, Yipinlou was sustained by my Yipintang!"

"Without my Yipintang, there would be no Yipinlou, the famous Beijing merchant restaurant of today!"

At this point, the white-haired old man paused, his expression arrogant: "Moreover, hmph... even the Chief Commander of the Shadow Suppression Division came from my First-Class Hall!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's expression showed slight surprise, and he immediately glanced at Tang Ningshuang.

Tang Ningshuang met Jiang Xiaobai's gaze but gently shook her head.

Although she had joined the Shadow Division, she really didn't know much about the Chief's previous mentorship.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes flickered, and after a moment he looked at the old man and said, "Then I don't care!"

"In the end, your Yipintang is nothing more than a martial arts sect!"

"So what if someone from Yipintang built Yipinlou?"

"So what if the Commander-in-Chief of the Shadow Division came out of your place?"

Jiang Xiaobai spread his hands and said, "What...what does this have to do with me!"

"you!"

The white-haired old man's face clearly darkened.

He brought out the head of the Zhenying Division, originally thinking that Jiang Xiaobai would be wary.

Surprisingly, this kid isn't scared at all!

Finally, the white-haired old man chuckled coldly twice, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "Young Master Jiang, how about this, I won't force you to answer immediately!"

"Go back and think it over carefully. Let's meet again tomorrow morning."

After speaking, the white-haired old man stood up again and looked at Xiao Qingxiu, saying, "Young Prince, let's go!"

"good!"

Xiao Qingxiu nodded with a smile. Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Xiaobai with a mocking look in his eyes.

The burly man beside him sneered and followed.

"etc!"

Just as the two were about to leave, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out.

"What's wrong?"

The white-haired old man stopped and turned his head, saying, "Young Master, have you made up your mind?"

"not yet!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, his face serious, and said, "However, I should be able to think it through quickly after I get back!"

"So... could you tell me where you live now?"

"I'll come over tonight and give you my answer!"

"Heh, is the young master trying to threaten me?"

The white-haired old man chuckled coldly, his eyes showing no fear: "It's alright, I reside at the Tianfeng Restaurant within the city!"

"I'd like to see what kind of answer Young Master Jiang will give me tonight!!"

After saying that, the white-haired old man withdrew his gaze and led Xiao Qingxiu outside.

The four chairmen watched the two figures walk away, their mouths agape, but ultimately no one intervened.

After the two had completely left the inner hall, Jiang Xiaobai stood up from the main seat and said, "The four of you, we'll be leaving now too!"

"President!"

Tian Fangchi couldn't help but step forward, his expression embarrassed, and said, "Yipintang has never interfered in the affairs of our Yipinlou!"

"The fact that an elder was suddenly sent here suggests... that the young prince personally sought them out, so..."

"I know, it's not your fault!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, this matter will be resolved tonight!"

what?

Tian Fangchi and the other three chairmen were stunned for a moment.

While the four were still wondering, Jiang Xiaobai had already led Tang Ningshuang and the Princess outside.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Yipinlou, Jiang Xiaobai's smile vanished. He turned to Zhang Xinnian and said, "Xinnian, go cause some trouble at Tianfeng Restaurant!"

"Find a way to get all the guests staying there to leave before nightfall!"

"Also, tell the boss that I, the young master, have bought Tianfeng Restaurant!"

"what?"

Zhang Xinnian looked completely puzzled.

But before Zhang Xinnian could ask any questions, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out again: "Then, go back to the military camp and bring me ten cannons!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai's face turned icy cold: "An expert, huh?!"

"Tonight, let's fucking kill him..."
