“Whether this business deal can be done or not, is not up to your father, but me, Helian Wei Wei! I was still considering taking the deal, but after hearing what you said, I won’t take the deal.”
After he saw this, the Retired Emperor could not sit still. The reason he specially sent someone to talk about this deal was for Profound Heaven to supply a large number of armaments to the Royal Family.
The Retired Emperor stood up with rage and looked intently at a corner of the second floor, the sound of oppression in his voice: “I didn’t expect Official Li to have such a competent son.”
Just with this sentence, Official Li’s forehead broke out in sweat, and although he wanted to reach out and wipe it, he daren’t move.
The Retired Emperor continued: “This competence has reached the point of lawlessness, using my authority to threaten the supply of armaments? I would like to know who gave you such authority!”
After he had spoken, he flung the teacup in his hand which landed by the side of Official Li.
It made a loud noise!
Official Li knelt down immediately and kowtowed constantly: “Retired Emperor spare my life, Retired Emperor spare my life. Your subject failed to raise my son well, hence his arrogance now.”
“Don’t bother to speak to me, you better go right now and apologize to Helian Wei Wei until she is satisfied.”
Official Li answered yes continuously and followed Eunuch Sun on his knees and rolled down from the teahouse.
Murong Chang Feng was a little embarrassed, he did not even realise his fingertips were in his tea. He looked at Helian Wei Wei in the centre and his heart churned inside. These emotions were inexplicable. Murong Chang Feng was not clear whether it was regret, annoyance, or anger. How did she wield so much power? When did this happen? Why did she not tell him?
Was he not the person she thought of first every time something happened? But now, Helian Wei Wei just sat there motionless, lazily, with a look on her face like she was about to go on a killing spree.
“Helian Wei Wei, are you not afraid your actions will be reported back to the Retired Emperor?” said Master Li from under her feet as he tried to use the prestige and authority of the Retired Emperor to intimidate her.
Helian Wei Wei seemed unconcerned: “Then just let this matter be reported back to the Retired Emperor.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Eunuch Sun came over, along with Official Li from the Ministry of Appointments Department.
At seeing this, Madam Su’s mouth twitched. At last! Even though the process was out of her control, but the result was the same. The Grand Master could not bear Helian Wei Wei’s actions and finally sent his men down to deal with her.
Master Li’s thoughts were the same as Madam Su upon seeing his father. He shouted aloud before his father had even come close to them: “Father, you must punish this vile woman on my behalf! After all, us Li Family represent the Retired Emperor, and yet she dares to…”
CLACK!
Master Li had not finished speaking and Official Li had slapped him across the face with such force and left him stunned.
“Father…” Master Li held his bruised and swollen face, shocked that his father had slapped him.
Official Li looked at Helian Wei Wei with flattery instead: “Boss Wei, you see, it is all because of my dog of a son who is not sensible, please don’t take it to heart, please don’t take it to heart.”
“Official Li.” Helian Wei Wei put up her feet, with the elegance of a Queen: ” You’re too polite. Just like your son said earlier, your family are rich and powerful, and you look down on our armaments at Profound Heaven, so you don’t need to buy from us. Since you are here, you can have a chat with Manager Zhang about stopping our cooperation.”
“Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!” Official Li held on to Helian Wei Wei’s sleeves, like as if he really feared that she would stop doing business with them.
To think that a minister of the court would have to beg Helian Wei Wei.
Rather than say Madam Su could not believe her eyes, it was apt to say she did not want to witness this scene at all!
In an instant, the faces of academy students who had initially wanted to use their status to intimidate others went white, especially Master Li. He could not believe that his father who was usually so high and mighty, was now so polite and humble, unless, unless it was to the Retired Emperor…
Helian Wei Wei smiled: “It is inevitable for there to be misunderstandings in the business world. However, your son seems to look down on me, and thinks that I only have one business deal, and that is with Li Family.”
“No! Absolutely Not!” Official Li gulped and explained: “This business deal is not with the Li Family, it is between Boss Wei and the Retired Emperor. We really value this business deal.”
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him: “If this is the case, then let Master Li express his sincerity.”
Official Li reached out and pulled his son to the side, his face full of rage: “Hurry up and apologize to Boss Wei!”
Master Li feared his father more than anything else, his face was pale as a ghost, all the arrogance had left his demeanor: “Wei, Boss Wei, I am wrong.”
“You’re voice is too soft, I can’t hear properly.” Helian Wei Wei was sat in the wooden chair lazily, she gazed upwards and pointed to the busybodies: “Tell them loud and clear, who is in charge of this business deal.”
Master Li faced everyone and stuttered: “It…. it’s Profound Heaven.”
“Very good. It looks like Master Li finally knows his position.” Helian Wei Wei stood up and looked at Manager Zhang beside her: “Continue the business with the Li Family. However, if what happened today were to recur, then put the Li Family straight into the blacklist, and let know that this is how Profound Heaven does business, based on how they feel.”
“Yes.” Manager Zhang bowed slightly.
Helian Wei Wei said indifferently: “Okay, since this has been resolved, I will go in with my friends first. The auction is about to start. Make sure all the people who look down on Profound Heaven are turned away at the door.”
“Yes.” Manager Zhang waved his hands to signal the guards.
Helian Jiao Er and Madam Su could not believe that things would develop this way. Eunuch Sun not only did not take this vile Helian Wei Wei away, but Official Li personally apologized to her and was so polite and humble, which was unlike his usual demeanor.
At that moment, Madam Su felt that the person in front of Helian Wei Wei slapping himself was not Official Li, but was herself! Helian Jiao Er was so angered that she gripped the white handkerchief in her hand tightly. The sinking feeling she felt in her chest was indescribable. She was supposed to be the center of attention today, and it was easy enough to enter Profound Heaven. Besides, other than her, she could not think of anyone else who was able to win the armaments. But now, she is in a position where she was about to be chased away!
