Seeing this scene, Shi Zihan could only shake her head helplessly and stayed silent.

At the same time, the manager of Wanxian Restaurant quickly reported what had happened to the shopkeeper.

After hearing who the two parties were, the shopkeeper’s residence began to stir like a Level 18 earthquake.

Then, from the residence of the current prime minister, Li Yuan, a gorgeous carriage headed straight for the Myriad Commerce Association.

About twenty minutes after Ji Ruoyan and Su Yu returned to the Myriad Commerce Association.

Two gorgeous carriages appeared at the entrance of the Myriad Tong Chamber of Commerce at the same time.

“Li Yuan greets Your Highness.” Li Yuan, who had just alighted from the carriage, immediately went forward and bowed when he saw Zhou Erhe.

“Minister Li, I believe our goals are similar. Let’s go in together!” Looking at Li Yuan’s figure in front of him, Zhou Erhe did not put on too much airs and directly said in a deep voice.

“Your Highness, please.” Seeing this, there was no obvious change in Li Yuan’s expression. Instead, he extended his hand slightly.

At this moment, Li Yuan almost wanted to point at Zhou Erhe’s nose and scold him for raising such a profligate son.

However, as Prince He, Zhou Erhe was a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although a prime minister like Li Yuan felt extremely aggrieved, he did not dare to show it.

Then, the two of them entered the Myriad Commerce Association together. After reporting their intentions, Ji Ruoyan heard about their arrival after a series of notifications.

Zhou Erhe and Li Yuan were brought to the conference room of the Myriad Commerce Association.

During this period, no one served them any tea. They just sat there and waited.

About five minutes later, Ji Ruoyan slowly walked into the conference room.

Seeing this, Zhou Erhe and Li Yuan also stood up from their chairs.

Although the two of them were top figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were only so-so in front of the Myriad Commerce Association.

“Greetings, President Ji.” Zhou Erhe and Li Yuan stood up and cupped their fists at the same time.

“You should know very well why the two of you are here. So, tell me, how would you like to resolve this matter?”

Faced with the respectful duo, Ji Ruoyan did not stand on ceremony and sat down on a chair. Then, she spoke to them coldly.

“President Ji, it’s my Wanxian Restaurant’s negligence this time that caused you to have an unpleasant meal. I’m extremely sorry about this. This is a small gift I prepared for you and that Sir. Please accept it.”

Upon hearing Ji Ruoyan’s words, Li Yuan was the first to speak.

Li Yuan didn’t beat around the bush. He directly placed a storage ring on the table to show his sincerity.

“President Ji, my son has offended you and that lord. I hope you can be magnanimous and spare his life.”

Seeing that Li Yuan had already taken the lead, Zhou Erhe also took out a storage ring and placed it on the table.

In response, the guard Martial Grandmaster standing behind Ji Ruoyan picked up two storage rings and handed them to her.

Ji Ruoyan extended her spiritual thoughts into the two storage rings. After scanning them, she placed the two storage rings on the table and began tapping the armrest of the chair.

Ji Ruoyan’s thoughtful look caused Li Yuan and Zhou Erhe’s hearts to skip a beat.

“Look at how forgetful I am. President Ji, I still have a small gift for that Sir alone. Please accept it.”

The tapping sound made Li Yuan’s heart flutter. In the end, Li Yuan took out the ring he had prepared in advance and placed it on the table.

‘Kiss *ss: Seeing Li Yuan take out another ring, Zhou Erhe could only take out another storage ring in pain.

Li Yuan and Zhou Erhe were slippery old foxes. They naturally knew how to make preparations.

In the beginning, they did not directly play all cards because they were afraid that the other party would deem it insufficient. After they had used the first ring as a foundation, the situation would naturally be much better.

‘Two sly old foxes: Ji Ruoyan reached out to take the other two storage rings from the guard Martial Grandmaster. After scanning the resources inside, she could not help but to quietly curse the two sly old foxes in her heart.

“Let’s forget about it this time. Bring him to pick the person up later.” After pondering for a while, Ji Ruoyan instructed the Martial Grandmaster behind her. Li Yuan and Zhou Erhe did not even dare to breathe loudly.

“Yes, Miss.” The guard nodded in agreement.

Following that, Ji Ruoyan did not waste her breath on Li Yuan and Zhou Erhe. She stood up and left the conference room.

“Prince Zhou, follow me!” Seeing that Young Miss had already left, the guard Martial Grandmaster said to Zhou Erhe.

As for Li Yuan, he had nothing to do now. He naturally wouldn’t continue staying in the Myriad Commerce Association. He had lost so many resources for no reason. He had to go back and find someone to vent his anger.

On the other hand, after Ji Ruoyan left the conference room, she went straight to Su Yu’s room.

“Sir Su.” Ji Ruoyan reached out to knock on the door and asked softly.

‘So quick? Upon hearing the voice coming from outside the room, a thought couldn’t help but flash across Su Yu’s mind. Then, he walked straight to the door and opened it.

“Sir, I hope I didn’t disturb your rest. This is an apology gift from Prince He and Prime Minister Li Yuan.”

After Su Yu opened the door, Ji Ruoyan extended her hand and handed over four storage rings.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Seeing this, Su Yu reached out and only took two of them.

Seeing the confusion on Ji Ruoyan’s face, Su Yu chuckled and said, “You can keep the rest. It’s a compensation for your hard work.”

“Alright. See you tomorrow, President Ji.” After saying that, Su Yu turned around and entered the room, leaving Ji Ruoyan, who was still in a daze at the door.

Ji Ruoyan, who had snapped back to her senses, opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

However, looking at the two rings in her hand, Ji Ruoyan was caught between laughter and tears as she shook her head. Then, she walked briskly back to her small courtyard.

On the other side, under the lead of the guard Martial Grandmaster, Zhou Erhe also saw his unfilial son, Zhou Guangyao, lying on the ground.

The sound of the lock being unlocked also alarmed Zhou Guangyao, who was idling.

‘Oh no, fin going to die soon: Zhou Guangyao’s heart turned cold when he saw a familiar face.

Zhou Erhe, who had already entered the secret room, saw his unfilial son’s useless appearance and went up to him to vent his anger..historical
