The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

"Please be patient and wait a moment. The real boss behind this Beauty Pass will come and discuss the price with you shortly."

On the second floor of the wine shop, the wine merchants that Shen He had called over poured themselves a cup of tea, then sat down and began to talk slowly and deliberately.

The businessmen in front of him looked somewhat apprehensive, but one man remained calm and composed. His name was Wang Bai, and he had a rather refined air about him.

As for the other two, one is named Wan Song, and the other is named Zhu Yuan.

They were the merchants responsible for supplying Shen He with the cloudy wine.

"Miss Shen, may I ask what brings you here today?" Wan Song asked hesitantly.

Shen He said calmly, "I invited you all here today at the behest of my boss, who wants to discuss the price of this turbid wine with you."

Wan Song and Zhu Yuan looked distressed; they knew it was because of this matter.

To be honest, they didn't want to offend the people behind the Beauty Pass, but... the profits from this deal were just too great.

The demand for Shenhe is so high that even a price increase of just one cent would be enough for them to make a huge profit.

As the saying goes, "profit moves people's hearts," and no one could remain unmoved by such enormous profits.

Wan Song said tactfully, "Miss Shen, if you asked us to come here today because of the price of the turbid wine... I can only say that we are also helpless."

"As you know, the price of grain is rising, and you've ordered far too much of that cloudy liquor... Our own costs are also increasing."

"The price increase is a last resort."

"Is that so?" Shen He replied. "Then please speak with my boss. I can't make the decision; I'm just an clerk."

Wan Song and Zhu Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

During this period, everyone knew that the owner behind the Beauty Pass was ruthless, even daring to attack people from the Wei State Duke's family.

I don't know how things are going, anyway, I haven't shown up for a long time.

They had thought that these people might have been dealt with, and they dared to raise prices because they were faced with huge profits.

Now Shen He is actually saying that the owner behind her is coming to find her.

They were really panicked.

To offend the Duke of Wei and still emerge unscathed, one needs no introduction about his background.

"Miss Shen, I think we have nothing to discuss regarding the price," Wang Bai said calmly, taking a sip of his tea.

"The reasons for the price increase have been explained very clearly by these two individuals. I think if you have any questions, you should talk to the grain merchants."

"We're raising prices because our costs are increasing; you can't expect us to lose money, can you?"

He paused, then added, "And you don't need to try to intimidate me by mentioning your backers."

"Perhaps those three teenagers have some connections, but in Chang'an, you could throw a stone anywhere and hit a bunch of officials."

"Who doesn't have some kind of background?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was kicked open with a bang, and three teenagers strode in with an air of utter disregard for family.

Chen Huai'an followed behind?

"Which son of a bitch dares to raise my prices? To make money off me?"

Cheng Chumo stared wide-eyed, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.

Wan Song and Zhu Yuan fell silent for a moment.

Wang Bai completely ignored Cheng Chumo, and slightly raised his head to say to Chen Huai'an behind him, "It seems that you are the one in charge behind this Beauty Pass."

"What? You want to use your backing to force us to bow down?"

The three teenagers were furious at being ignored. Just as they were about to say something, Chen Huai'an stopped them and stepped forward, saying, "Whether the price increase of the turbid wine is due to increased costs that forced the price increase, or whether you were greedy for money and tore up the previous agreement, we both know the answer."

"It's clear who is trying to force others to bow down by relying on their power."

"What? You think we're easy to bully? Or do you think your head is harder than the people of the Duke of Wei's mansion?"

Wang Bai's expression froze for a moment. It wasn't that he was afraid of the power behind these people, but... if they really made a move, he might actually get beaten up.

Cheng Chumo stared at the three of them with an unfriendly gaze.

Chen Huai'an looked at Zhu Yuan and Wan Song: "You all know that they attacked the people from the Duke of Wei's mansion, but now they are here unharmed."

"Don't you understand what this means?"

"Just tell me, can the price be lowered?"

Wan Song and Zhu Yuan nodded with bitter faces.

"It can...it can be reduced."

"Useless!" Wang Bai cursed directly.

The two had no way to express their grievances; with the gods locked in a battle of magic, how could they possibly have a chance to interject?

Besides, they were indeed in the wrong this time.

The price that was originally agreed upon was indeed raised by them without their consent.

However, who would have thought that these people, who offended the Duke of Wei's mansion, would still be alright?

"I know that grain prices have indeed risen, and your costs have increased, but since you were dishonest first, it's still fifteen coins, how about that?" Chen Huai'an ignored Wang Bai and said slowly.

Both of them were stunned when they heard the price.

They had assumed Chen Huai'an would bully them and try to drive down prices, and they were prepared to bleed a lot of money. Unexpectedly, he even considered the issue of rising grain prices.

"What? You're not willing?" Chen Huai'an's tone turned cold.

"Yes! Yes!" Wan Song nodded repeatedly. "Sir, I will deliver the wine to you at this price later, and I promise it won't delay your business."

Zhu Yuan had a similar attitude.

"I can't possibly sell you this wine at this price!" Wang Bai said bluntly.

"You son of a bitch!" Tang Heshang couldn't take it anymore and pointed at his nose, cursing, "I've been putting up with you for a long time."

"Who do you think you are? If you don't sell, plenty of others will. Believe me, I'll make sure you come in upright and leave horizontally!"

Chen Huai'an remained silent.

Cheng Chumo and Li Zhen immediately understood that the gentleman had tacitly agreed.

That will make them wide awake!

"You little bastard!" Li Zhen said sinisterly, "Want to taste my rod?"

"What? You dare to hit me?" Wang Bai said, his voice stern but his tone weak.

Cheng Chumo scoffed, "We've already beaten up Pei Ji's men, who do you think you are?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. You don't deserve to listen!"

Seeing that they were about to make a move, Wang Bai's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "The person behind me is surnamed Li!"

"You dare hit me?"

"..."
