"Heh heh, sir, it was my mistake just now. I thought you were here to cause trouble, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding."
After receiving the card, the middle-aged manager seemed like a different person. He quickly told the security guards to release the people and then ordered them to stand down.
In this store, they always treated customers as gods. As long as customers genuinely intended to buy something, they must never offend them.
Once Qian Long was released, he rushed to Li Yang's side and said aggrievedly, "Master, hurry up and get revenge for me. These people are too much; they almost broke my hand."
"Shut up!"
Li Yang reprimanded him sternly and coldly lectured, "Who told you to come here and appraise things carelessly, and to deliberately cause trouble?"
"I didn't. I just thought the quality of this jade ruyi was impure, so I casually said it was fake. I didn't expect them to get upset just because I said it. That's when I argued with them a bit more," Qian Long denied, making excuses.
If Li Yang hadn't overheard his argument with the manager just now, he might have believed him.
Li Yang looked at him seriously and continued, "The item you called fake just now is one hundred percent genuine. Since your skills are lacking, you should go back and study properly, and don't embarrass yourself outside."
"I'll let this slide this time, but if there's a next time, I'll make sure you regret it."
"I understand, Master. I won't explain anymore, alright!"
Qian Long was clearly still a bit unconvinced but dared not argue with Li Yang, so he obediently agreed.
After their conversation, the middle-aged manager personally brought over the packaged jade ruyi and said with a smile, "Sir, your item is all packed. Here is your card."
"Alright, thank you, Manager. I apologize for the trouble my disciple caused you here today," Li Yang said politely.
"Not at all, it's my fault. I misunderstood your disciple, and it was I who caused you trouble," the middle-aged manager said respectfully.
"Manager Zheng, you're too spineless. This kid just bought one item from you, and you have to be so polite to him?"
Just as he finished speaking, a mocking voice came from behind.
Zheng Tao turned to look and saw a wealthy young master walk in from the entrance. This person's father was the renowned Treasure-Appraising Divine Venerable Wu Lei from the capital.
Upon seeing Young Master Wu arrive, Zheng Tao immediately walked over to greet him respectfully, "So it's Young Master Wu gracing us with your presence. It's truly an oversight not to have welcomed you sooner. When did you arrive here from the capital?"
"I haven't been here long. I came to find my father for some important matters and decided to stop by to check on the store's business along the way."
"Just because they bought a jade ruyi? Then our store's dignity seems rather weak."
"Young Master Wu, this is what our boss requires. We must treat our customers as gods. Since this gentleman has already admitted his mistake and purchased the antique, we naturally have to welcome him," Zheng Tao explained earnestly.
"Who says it belongs to them just because they bought it?"
"What? This..."
Zheng Tao hesitated, unsure of what to do.
The order from Young Master Wu was something he had never done before and was also against the store's rules.
Even Li Yang found this young master to be somewhat unreasonable, but when he heard about the young master's identity, he became somewhat interested.
"Oh, kid, you've actually heard of my name?"
"Damn it, daring to disrespect my Master, you must be tired of living."
Seeing how arrogant he was, Qian Long was about to make a move, but Li Yang stopped him in time, shaking his head slightly and saying, "No need to be angry. I have some connection with this Young Master Wu."
"You actually heard of my dad? Let me tell you, this is my Master. If you dare to show him any disrespect, you're going against my Qian family," Qian Long said, patting his chest.
"Haha, ridiculous. Even your father would show some respect to my Wu family when he sees me. You dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"
"Otherwise, today I will make sure both of you regret it. After all, my Wu family owns half the shares of this Divine Stone Pavilion, so I am also a half-owner here. I make the rules here."
Qian Long's temper flared up instantly. With that statement alone, he had to confront him today!
However, before he could make a move, Li Yang stopped him at the crucial moment, "Alright Qian Long, you're always so impulsive. Can't we discuss things properly?"
"Master, this kid has no intention of discussing anything with us properly. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you today," Qian Long vowed confidently.
"When did I say I wanted to discuss it with him? He doesn't have that qualification in front of me."
Li Yang gently patted Qian Long's shoulder and said calmly, "Only Old Master Wu Lei is qualified to come and discuss this matter."
"That's right, his father is Old Wu. How could I forget that you know Old Wu?"
Only then did Qian Long realize, remembering that Li Yang had some dealings with Old Wu.
But now, his animosity towards Li Yang and Qian Long had clearly escalated.
Even Manager Zheng Tao frowned upon hearing their words!
