Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Xiao Shan nodded with a gloomy face.

"Manager Gu, last time you said you would give my daughter three drops of spirit beast blood in exchange for her being with you for one night. This is simply an insult to my Xiao family. I'm here to ask for an explanation."

"Ha ha……"

Before Gu Chan could say anything, Chang De and Chang Wei, who were sitting next to her, suddenly couldn't hold back their laughter and started laughing.

Xiao Shan glared at the two of them and yelled, "Is it funny?"

"Hey, Master Xiao, don't get excited! Calm down." Gu Chan quickly waved her hand to stop him.

Chang De said with a fake smile, "Your daughter is really pretty. She can get three drops of spirit beast blood by spending a night with Shopkeeper Gu. Logically, it should be your Xiao family that made a profit. Why are you so angry?"

"Changde, you bastard, I've tolerated you for a long time." Xiaoshan was completely furious. He slammed his fist on the table, jumped up and was ready to rush over to beat Changde.

Changde was not a pushover either. He quickly stood up and prepared to fight back. In an instant, the two sides became tense and were ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Gu Chan's face darkened, her body trembled, and the spiritual energy in her body suddenly surged out like a raging wave, forcibly pressing down on the two of them.

The next second, the two men felt as if their bodies were carrying a heavy weight, and it was difficult for them to take even a single step forward.

Gu Chan said in a voice as cold as ice, "My two family masters, today is the grand day of the opening of my new shop. If you want to come and congratulate me, I welcome you very much. But if you want to cause trouble here, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"Huh...Okay, for Shopkeeper Gu's sake, I'll endure it."

"I'm giving Manager Gu some face today. Just wait, old man. One day I'll punish you severely."

Changde and Xiaoshan shouted angrily with livid faces.

Gu Chan took back the spiritual energy that was pressing on them, and the two of them sat back in their chairs, holding back their anger.

Chang Wei and Xiao Xiang sat there without saying a word. It was obvious that their fathers were present. At a time like this, there was no need for them to confront each other. It would be best to leave everything to their elders to resolve.

After the two of them sat down again, the coldness on Gu Chan's face dissipated a little.

Looking at Xiao Shan, she said seriously, "Master Xiao, I said those words that day just to tease your daughter. After all, when she first came to buy the blood of spiritual beasts, she was scheming and entangled hundreds of wealthy families to take advantage of my misfortune and trick me to death! It's not wrong for me to tease her to get revenge and relieve the hatred in my heart, right?"

"Is this true?" Xiao Shan immediately turned his head and glared at Xiao Xiang, questioning.

Xiao Xiang ignored him, lowered his head in shame and said nothing.

Xiao Shan said angrily, "How dare you say that Gu Chan flirted with you? After all this time, you were the first to be rude to her. Don't you deserve it?"

"Dad! Why are you so mean?" Xiao Xiang said in a tender voice.

"What are you talking about? I'll help whoever is right. Do you think I'm that old dog Yan Xishan who can only protect his faults?" Xiao Shan cursed with a sullen face.

Xiao Xiang lost all her temper after being scolded.

Gu Chan immediately looked at the rough man in front of her with a different eye!

Compared to Yan Xishan, his attitude towards children's education is obviously much better, especially the fact that he does not cover up their shortcomings, which is enough to prove that he is indeed a qualified father.

Children with such a father will usually not do anything too outrageous. This is also the most direct reason why Xiao Xiang did not dare to do anything too extreme that day.

After all, as the eldest daughter of a big family, she still has to save her face. It can be said that compared to Yan Li, Xiao Xiang is probably much better.

After Xiao Shan finished scolding his daughter, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed to Gu Chan, saying, "Manager Gu, I'm really sorry. It was my poor parenting that led to such a thing. Come, I'll toast you a glass of wine as an apology on behalf of my daughter."

"That's OK. Patriarch Xiao has a broad mind. I, Gu Chan, admire him very much." Gu Chan clasped his fists in return.

After saying this, the two of them clinked their glasses together, tilted their heads back and drank the wine in the glasses down in one gulp. This was how the knot was resolved.

After dealing with this matter, Xiao Shan put down his wine glass and said, "Then Shopkeeper Gu, I wonder if you can sell three drops of this spirit beast blood to my Xiao family?"

"Of course you can. As long as everyone talks it out and the misunderstanding is resolved, the deal will be easy." Gu Chan said readily.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask the servants to deliver 30 million taels of silver to the Chang family." Xiao Shan said readily.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "No need to send it to the Chang family. This amount of money is not much. You can send it directly to Wanyuanfang. When the money arrives, you can ask Miss Xiao to come to me. I will give her three drops of spirit beast blood on the spot."

"Okay, the first thing is solved. Now let me talk about the second thing. My Xiao family is in the medicinal herb business in the Jiangnan area. It can be said that the medicinal herb business in this area is closely related to my Xiao family. Manager Gu, you opened this new shop without informing my Xiao family in advance. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Xiao Shan said coldly.

“……”Gu Chan!

Dry!

As expected, Chang Wei was right.

Damn it, she didn't go to the mountain to pay respects before opening this shop! Now, she just ran into the gun of the Xiao family, the third largest family in Jiangnan.

According to the rules of the business world, what she did was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Xiao Shan pressed on, "In the Jiangnan area, no matter what business you do, there are rules here. Shopkeeper Gu, it's ok for you to open a new shop, but you're also asking for a buy-to-win situation. We don't understand what you mean, but if you do this, how can you let your peers do business?"

"Master Xiao, it seems that you are not here just to represent yourself today, right?" Gu Chan asked.

"Yes, the old president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is also very dissatisfied with you. Let me first give you a heads-up and hope you can restrain yourself." Xiao Shan said frankly.

Gu Chan did not rush to answer, but stood up and walked to the window, stretched out her hand to push it open, pointed at the people coming and going on the street below and said, "Master Xiao, since you are here to ask me for an explanation today on behalf of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, I might as well have a debate with you."

"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation." Xiao Shan said with a stiff face.

"You are all prominent figures, sitting here drinking good wine and eating delicious food. The price of this table of delicious food can equal the monthly income of an ordinary citizen in Tiancang. Do you know how many people in Tiancang cannot afford to eat, buy medicine, or see a doctor?" Gu Chan said with a firm look in his eyes.

At this point, she paused and said, "I have worked my way up from the bottom. When I was poor, I couldn't even afford meat in the poor mountain village. I thought it was delicious even if I ate fried caterpillars, not to mention seeing a doctor. At that time, I didn't even dare to get sick!"

The four people from Xiaoshan were sitting at the table, listening in silence.
