Seeing the bustling business of Lan Yuexuan with his own eyes, Zhao Tailai's eyes turned red with envy.
"What can I get for you, sir If you're here for soap, please queue outside."
A clerk saw Zhao Tai coming with four or five young men, each of whom was dressed in fine clothes and clearly not from an ordinary family. He didn't dare to be negligent and greeted them with a smile on his face.
Zhao Tailai glanced at the attendant, swaggered over to the guest chair and sat down, saying: "This young master is here today to do a big business with your Lan Yue軒. You're not qualified to talk to this young master, go and call your shopkeeper."
The fellow was taken aback for a moment, though he was a little annoyed by Zhao Tailai's arrogant attitude. However, this kind of arrogance from these richly-dressed young masters was something he, a mere shopkeeper's assistant, had grown accustomed to. He knew he couldn't afford to provoke them, so he immediately replied with a curt nod and turned to call the shop owner.
Soon, a man in his fifties hurried over.
This old man was none other than Liu's third uncle.
Having spent most of his life hustling in the capital, he knew Zhao Tailei. Even among Zhao Tailei's circle of wealthy young men, none were easy to deal with.
Immediately, he became extremely cautious and careful. With a smile on his face, he bent down and walked up to Zhao Tailei. His old face was beaming like a chrysanthemum as he flattered him, "Isn't this Young Master Zhao Young Master Zhao graced my humble abode with your presence. It is my fault for not welcoming you properly. Please accept my apologies."
Zhao Tailai laughed and said, "Not bad, they say you merchants are the most astute at reading the situation. It seems to be true. This young master won't hold a grudge against your rudeness."
Uncle Liu's third brother immediately smelled the strong scent of alcohol on Zhao Taile and his men, making him even more nervous. Despite this, he didn't reduce the smile or respect on his face. He said, "Thank you, Master Zhao, for your magnanimity. You don't hold grudges against an old man like me. However, Master Zhao is a busy person, what brings you to my humble shop"
"As long as Young Master Zhao needs anything, there's no need to come in person. Just send someone with a word and this old man will surely arrange it and have it delivered to your mansion."
Zhao Tailai snorted from his nose, a smirk playing on his lips as he said, "What do you mean Are you saying that young master has to get things for free Does young master look like someone who can't afford something Do you think lowly of me"
He's definitely looking for a fight!
Uncle Liu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly apologized: "Master Zhao, please forgive me. It was the old man who spoke wrongly. The old man doesn't mean that at all. It's just that with Master Zhao's presence here in person, the old man is filled with apprehension..."
"Okay, okay."
Zhaotai waved his hand impatiently and said, "This young master has no time to waste words with you. Get straight to the point. This young master came here for that thing today."
Uncle Liu, following Zhao Tai's pointing finger, saw the large basin of freshly made soap. He immediately smiled and said, "Master Zhao, you want soap That's easy. How much do you need, Master Zhao This old man will immediately tell someone to wrap it up for you."
Zhao Tailai let out a light chuckle, but without warning, the smile on his face vanished. His expression turned icy as he raised his leg and kicked Liu Jia's third uncle in the stomach, roaring, "Do you take me for a beggar I've been sitting here for ages, and not even a cup of hot tea! Do you look down on me!"
"Something like a dog, and you dare look down on this young master Believe it or not, this young master will smash your entire shop!
