Prince Zhang Yang's pleasant surprise didn't come to Lan Lingsheng and the others. Instead, they received bad news.
After 10,000 years, Free City had sent the remaining wine and goods to the three restaurant managers.
Qin Xiao handed this matter over to Lan Lingsheng and the others. However, the outcome was obviously not good. Just as Qin Xiao had expected, they had been ripped off ruthlessly.
The managers of the three restaurants had already discussed in secret and joined forces to lower the price. Moreover, they were much more ruthless than the two owners of the clothing stores.
The original price was one chaos source rock for two pots. After a 20% discount, it was equivalent to 0.8 chaos source rocks for two pots.
However, the managers of the three restaurants had joined forces to lower the price to 0.2 chaos source rocks for two pots. That was equivalent to buying 10 pots for one chaos source rock. The price had become a quarter of the original price. How ruthless was this?
Originally, Free City would have been able to earn hundreds of thousands of chaos source rocks after this transaction was completed. However, this meant that they wouldn't be able to earn a single chaos source rock.
Not only would they not be able to earn a single chaos source rock, but they would also have to pay for some labor. They had spent 10,000 years in Free City, and this was the outcome they had been waiting for?
Therefore, Lan Lingsheng and the others naturally wouldn't agree. How could they lower the price like this?
If they had only lowered the price by half, they would have still been able to earn a little. Although they wouldn't be able to earn much, they would still be able to make some profit.
Now that they were suffering a huge loss, how could they agree?
However, they had no choice. The three restaurants had already received all the goods. The previous batches of goods had also all been used up.
Therefore, they had no choice but to accept this price.
What if they didn't agree?
Towards the end, Lan Lingsheng and the others were naturally enraged. They were so angry that they directly attacked the managers.
However, the result was obvious. After being beaten up, the managers of the three restaurants threw down the money and left.
"This is too much of a bully. How can they do this? One can't be so untrustworthy. My father told me that the most important thing in life is to be trustworthy. One must keep one's promises and not go back on one's words. "
"Those who go back on their words are villains, those who go back on their words are bad people, and those who can't do what they say are cowards." Yuan Yuan also spoke up for Lan Lingsheng and the others.
Lan Lingsheng and the others were ashamed and angry. This business deal was still ruined, and they came back in such a sorry state.
He didn't get many Primal Chaos Source Rocks and was even beaten up. Although their injuries were not serious, the humiliation in their hearts made them feel dejected.
"City Lord, we …"
Lan Lingsheng wanted to say something, but Qin Xiao waved his hand and stopped him.
Qin Xiao's eyes were also filled with anger. He had expected the managers of the three restaurants to be scheming, but he did not expect them to be so black-hearted to such an extent that it made one's hair stand on end.
Moreover, he even hit someone. This was intolerable.
Qin Xiao didn't have any plans for the two clothing store owners who had taken advantage of him earlier. He treated it as spending money to teach Lan Lingsheng and the others a lesson.
This time, he couldn't just let it go like this. This was too much.
"You don't have to say anymore. You did a good job. This isn't your fault.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourselves for not being strong enough. That's why you were bullied.
However, don't worry. I'll definitely avenge you, "said Qin Xiao.
Lan Lingsheng and the others were stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
They were also incomparably angry, but they couldn't vent their anger. There was a fire burning in their chests.
They also wanted revenge. They also wanted to get back their dignity and vent their anger.
However, they weren't stupid. The managers of the three restaurants were all fourth-step Heavenly Venerables. Furthermore, those three restaurants were definitely supported by a powerful force.
Therefore, it wouldn't be so easy to find trouble with those three restaurants.
Therefore, they became very conflicted in their hearts. They wanted the City Lord to stand up for them and uphold justice for the Free City. After all, they didn't just represent themselves this time. They also represented the lives of the 10,000 clans in the Free City.
Ah.
However, they were worried that they couldn't afford to provoke those three restaurants, so they didn't want Qin Xiao to stand up for them. They were afraid of causing trouble.
Qin Xiao also knew that these three restaurants were definitely backed by a powerful force. It wouldn't be so easy to make a move on these three restaurants.
Therefore, he was also calculating and planning in his heart. He wanted to see how he could get revenge for this humiliation.
If he swallowed this humiliation, then he wouldn't have the face to be the City Lord of the Free City anymore.
After thinking about it, there didn't seem to be any particularly good ideas. He could only directly go to the three managers and lay his cards on the table. He could only use his fists to do the talking.
The amount involved this time wasn't considered large. If those three managers were tactful, then they shouldn't make a big deal out of it.
However, this method was obviously full of uncertainty. Qin Xiao was also carefully calculating how to reduce his uncertainty and ensure that this matter could be carried out smoothly.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal. Let me help you with this small matter. You don't have to frown and think about it so much. "
"In a few days, those three managers will come to you and beg for your forgiveness," Prince Zhang Yang suddenly said.
Hearing Prince Zhang Yang's words, everyone looked at him with astonishment. What did he mean?
What did Prince Zhang Yang want to do?
Judging from Prince Zhang Yang's tone, it didn't seem like he was joking.
Qin Xiao was also slightly stunned. He didn't intend to ask Prince Zhang Yang for help, but the other party took the initiative to say that he wanted to help.
"You want to help us?"
Prince Zhang Yang smiled at Qin Xiao and said, "Yes, if I don't help you, what good ideas do you have?"
"Your Free City is just a small city in a small place. It's an insignificant force."
"In the eyes of those three restaurants, it's beneath contempt. So, I think Lord Qin Xiao's idea is just to come to them directly and talk with your fists, right? "
"Let's do it this way. It's feasible, but it's more troublesome. Moreover, the uncertain factors should account for 50%. It's not worth it. "
"Also, it's not straightforward. To deal with such treacherous villains, we have to give them an eye for an eye. Let them come to us obediently and beg for mercy. That's the only way to vent our anger. "
"You can't do such a small thing, but I can do it with just a word."
"It's not a big deal. Don't look at me with such astonishment and gratitude."
"We've been together for 10,000 years. We can be considered friends. Although it's true that you're climbing up the social ladder to make friends with me, so what? I don't look at the other party's status, talent, potential, strength, or appearance when making friends.
So what? "
Qin Xiao smiled. This narcissism was even better than Brother Pure's.
Speaking of Brother Pure, Qin Xiao really wanted to know how he was doing now.
Qin Xiao didn't know anything about Brother Pure's situation.
He knew a little about Gu Lingyue's situation and where she was.
Since Prince Zhang Yang had clearly said that he wanted to help, and from the looks of it, Prince Zhang Yang had probably already sent people to do it.
Therefore, Qin Xiao had no choice but to accept. "Thank you, Prince Zhang Yang."
Prince Zhang Yang put his arm around Qin Xiao's shoulder and curled his lips. "What are you thanking me for? It's just a small thing. It's not worth mentioning."
"Isn't that what friends are like? Those who can help those who can't."
"Who asked me to be so capable? So, if I don't help you, who will?"
"Right? This is what friends are like. What I like most is to help my friends. It can't be helped. Capable people do more work. "
Prince Zhang Yang's narcissism was really admirable.
Qin Xiao smiled and said cooperatively, "Yes, yes, yes. It seems that I can't be too polite to Prince Zhang Yang in the future. Who asked us to be so lucky to have a friend like you, Prince Zhang Yang?"
"That's right. It can't be helped. Some people are born with luck. You guys can be considered as the lucky ones among the lucky ones. Normal luck would never allow you to make friends with someone as outstanding as me." Zhang Yang nodded his head 'honestly'.
"…"
Things were just as Prince Zhang Yang said. Not long after, the three shopkeepers came to find Qin Xiao and the others in person with sincere expressions of apology.
With a fawning smile on his face, he repeatedly apologized to Lan Lingsheng and the others, saying a lot of flattering words. He almost looked like a lackey now.
Lan Lingsheng and the others were stunned. They were just ordinary third-step Celestial Venerables, but there were actually three fourth-step Celestial Venerables here. Moreover, they were powerful and influential fourth-step Celestial Venerables. Yet, they were so respectful to them.
Apologizing so respectfully was a little too much.
Lan Lingsheng and the others couldn't help but prostrate themselves in admiration of Prince Zhang Yang. He was indeed very capable.
Sure enough, it was just a matter of saying a few words.
Although Qin Xiao had expected this, he was still a little surprised. He secretly thought that Prince Zhang Yang was indeed very resourceful.
It was as if there was nothing he couldn't do in Shangyong City.
After apologizing to Lan Lingsheng and the others, the three shopkeepers said to Qin Xiao, "City Lord Qin, we failed to recognize you previously and misunderstood you. It's our fault for offending you."
"Today, the three of us have come with full sincerity and apology. We hope that City Lord Qin will accept our sincerity and apology."
"These Chaos Source Rocks are to make up for the previous shortage. We hope that City Lord Qin will accept them and forgive us."
"Furthermore, the three of us have decided to buy as much wine as you can from the Free City at the price of two Chaos Source Rocks per jug. What do you think, City Lord Qin?"
"If the price is not satisfactory, we can still discuss it again. It's not impossible to ask for a higher price."
The three restaurant managers were considered to be reputable figures in Shangyong City. Although they weren't considered to be very important figures, they were still passable.
The three shopkeepers were speaking so humbly without any dignity. What kind of intimidation had they received?
Moreover, he was actually offering two pieces of Primal Chaos Essence for a pot. It was five times more expensive than before.
Such a huge amount of interest, just thinking about it was a little unbelievable.
What had Prince Zhang Yang done to them? How could he make them behave so humbly?
Qin Xiao took the Chaos Source Rocks from the three shopkeepers and realized that they had doubled the price.
Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He only accepted half of the Chaos Source Rocks and threw the rest back to the three shopkeepers.
The three shopkeepers panicked when they saw that Qin Xiao had only accepted half of the Chaos Source Rocks.
"City Lord Qin, you …"
Qin Xiao waved his hand and said seriously, "I still believe that whether it's a person or a business, we should pay attention to the most basic principle of integrity."
"We've already agreed on the price I'll charge you at the beginning. That's how much I'll charge you. I won't accept any more. I won't let go of any less. "
"If it's mine, then I'll take it. If it's not mine, then I won't touch it. "
"As for the future cooperation, I don't think it's necessary. I'm not worthy of you."
