Master Ai, who was in a meeting with the Ai Family, knew that Sect Master Jun had come to the medicine shop. He put down his stall and hurried over.
When he entered, he didn't see anyone. He cupped his hands and smiled. "What wind blew Sect Master Jun here?"
"Northwest wind." Jun Changxiao said lightly.
Ai Shang heard his tone and immediately judged that he was a little unhappy. He immediately became nervous.
Could it be that there was an ignorant junior in the Ai Family who offended Sect Master Jun?
In Master Ai's eyes, Jun Changxiao was the God of Wealth. The future of the Ai Family depended on the Healing Pills and Body Shaping Pills. Naturally, he didn't dare to offend him.
He carefully walked into the living room and said, "Sect Master Jun seems a little troubled?"
"Sigh."
Jun Changxiao sighed. "Don't mention it."
Ai Shang sighed in relief.
Don't mention it. These three words meant that the matter that made him unhappy had nothing to do with the Ai Family.
"Sect Master Jun, we are old friends."
Master Ai sat down and said, "If you have any troubles, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
Jun Changxiao said, "Master Ai, you should have heard of the Xiao Family in Liyang City, right?"
Could it be that … the Xiao Family offended Sect Master Jun?
As expected of a businessman, he was able to guess the crux of the matter with just a thought.
"I have, I have." Ai Shang said.
Jun Changxiao put his elbow on the armrest and held his chin. "This Xiao Family offended me."
As expected!
Ai Shang secretly said, "The Xiao Family's strength is not even comparable to a seventh-rate sect. They dared to offend Iron Bone. Are they tired of living?"
If the higher-ups of the Xiao Family heard this, they would definitely feel wronged.
They offended Iron Bone a few months ago. At that time, Iron Bone wasn't so arrogant. Now that they realized it, they were prepared to stop for a while. In the end, they were … arranged!
"Master Ai."
Jun Changxiao said, "I am a bit of a vengeful person. I also hate two-faced people …"
Ai Shang hurriedly said, "Sect Master Jun, my Ai Family has nothing to do with the Xiao Family. I am not a two-faced person!"
Listening to the sound of the strings, it was absolutely full marks!
Jun Changxiao said, "We're friends, so Jun will naturally believe you."
As he spoke, he placed two healing pills on the table and said, "Thank you for your support at the Haoqi Sect. These two healing pills are for Master Ai."
"This …"
"If you don't accept it, then you're treating me like an outsider."
Ai Shang said, "Thank you, Sect Leader Jun, for your gift."
After saying that, he happily took back the pills. After all, according to the last auction price, two healing pills were worth 1,200,000 taels!
"Patriarch Ai."
Jun Changxiao asked, "How's the gathering of the materials coming along?"
"Yes!"
Ai Shang hurriedly took out the medicinal herbs he had collected recently and said, "Sect Master Jun, the medicinal herbs are a bit lacking this time. Let's gather more after some time. This Ai will personally send them to the Iron Bone Sect."
Jun Changxiao put away the medicinal herbs and said, "That's right, I have a list of medicinal herbs seeds here. Do you have them in stock?"
Ai Shang took the list and glanced at it. He smiled and said, "Sect Master Jun, the medicinal herbs are a bit hard to find, but my Ai Family has a lot of these seeds."
As he spoke, he handed the list to Shopkeeper Ma and ordered him to bring all the seeds in the shortest time possible.
After he left, Ai Shang moved closer and said in a low voice, "Sect Master Jun, this Ai has a question, but I don't know if it's appropriate to ask."
"Of course."
"Have all the disciples of your sect taken the Body Shaping Pill?"
"That's right."
"Your disciples performed so well at the Haoqi Sect. It should have something to do with the Body Shaping Pill, right?"
"It has a lot to do with it."
Great!
A smile appeared on Ai Shang's face.
Jun Changxiao knew that Ai Shang wanted to hype up the Body Shaping Pill, so he was looking forward to how high the auction price would be.
The higher the auction price, the more he would get.
Even if he had more than ten million taels in his pocket, Sect Master Jun wouldn't mind.
Half an hour later.
Shopkeeper Ma took out all the medicinal herbs on the list, and all of them were of high quality.
Needless to say, it was a free gift!
Jun Changxiao accepted it with a smile and cupped his hands. "I still have matters to attend to at the sect. Jun will take his leave first."
Ai Shang sent him off.
"Ai Family Head's attitude towards Sect Master Jun is so good."
"At the Haoqi Sect, Ai Family Head is helping the Iron Bone Sect. I heard that he was even willing to lend ten million taels."
"Tsk tsk, such a close relationship. The Ai Family and the Iron Bone Sect must have a lot of business dealings."
The passersby discussed in low voices.
…
After sending off Jun Changxiao, Ai Family Head returned home. He clasped his hands behind his back and hesitated in the main hall.
"Family Head, what happened?" Ai Shang didn't understand.
"Sigh."
Ai Shang sighed and said, "Liyang City's Xiao Family offended Sect Master Jun."
"Ah?"
Ai Shang's eyes widened.
Ai Shang sat down and put one hand on the teacup. "Sect Master Jun should know that we have business dealings with the Xiao Family. He came to the medicine shop to knock some sense into them."
Ai Shang asked, "Family Head, what should we do?"
Ai Shang took a sip of tea and said, "Sect Master Jun is our Ai Family's God of Wealth. We cannot offend him. So, we have to stop our business with the Xiao Family immediately."
Ai Shang said, "But, the Xiao Family just sent a deposit a few days ago. Third Brother even signed a contract with them …"
"We have to stop it even if it's a breach of contract!" Ai Shang said firmly.
Breach of contract? Then they have to pay ten times the deposit!
Although Ai Shang's heart ached, since the Family Head said so, they had to stop it immediately!
"I'll go and tell them."
"Wait, check carefully. See if our Ai Family has any business dealings with the Xiao Family. If they do, no matter how big or small or how much they cost, stop them all!"
"Okay."
…
Xiao Family.
The Sixth Elder, who was in charge of medicinal herbs and pills, walked into the main hall dejectedly with a large stack of banknotes.
"Sixth Brother, where did you get so much money?" Xiao Family's First Elder asked.
"The Ai Family gave it to us." Sixth Elder said.
Second Elder said with a smile, "Why did the Ai Family Head suddenly give us so much money? Is it because our Xiao Family has always been buying from their pharmacy? "
"Although our Xiao Family's main business is not our business, we have half of the medicinal herbs and pills market in Liyang City."
Third Elder said with a smile, "The Ai Family will definitely think highly of us. It's natural for them to give us money to deepen our relationship."
The Ai Family had recently developed a healing pill and was in the limelight. Suddenly, they took the initiative to give so much money. The Xiao Family's upper echelons felt like their bodies were floating from the ground.
"Sigh."
Sixth Elder slammed the banknotes on the table and said angrily, "What bullshit money, this is the penalty for breach of contract from the Ai Family!"
Penalty for breach of contract?
Everyone's smile froze.
Xiao Family's First Elder frowned, "What happened?"
Sixth Elder put a letter on the table and said, "The Ai Family just sent someone to deliver a letter. They want to cut off all business dealings with our Xiao Family!"
"What?"
The elders all gathered around to read the letter.
Sure enough, it was written clearly in black and white — From today onwards, our Ai Family will cut off all business dealings with the Xiao Family. The signature was Ai Shang, and there was even a fingerprint!
Everyone who was about to float up just now was hit in the head by a heavy hammer. Not only did their souls instantly enter their bodies, but they also almost drilled into the ground!
Although that stack of money was a lot, if they cut off all business dealings with the Ai Family, without high-quality medicinal herbs and pills, how would they do business in the future?
"Kacha!"
Xiao Family's First Elder held the letter and said angrily, "Our Xiao Family must have offended someone."
