Crowd

Out of anger and also to create momentum, Wang Xiao’s voice was very loud. He almost roared at the top of his lungs.

Soon, customers passing by heard the sound and surrounded them.

Seeing this, Shen Tianlin’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly went to Wang Xiao’s side and whispered, “Brother Wang, lower your voice. If there’s a problem, just solve it. It’s useless even if you shout!”

“Who says it’s useless?”

Wang Xiao glanced at Shen Tianlin and chuckled. “Since you asked me to come to the headquarters with you, I’ll definitely take this batch of resources today!”

Shen Tianlin was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that more and more people were watching the commotion, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. “Wang Xiao, did you do it on purpose?”

“That’s right. I did it on purpose.”

Wang Xiao nodded and admitted generously, “I can’t pose as a threat to you alone, but that’s not necessarily with so many people around. I heard that those who can enter this area are all important customers. If your reputation collapses here…’

Wang Xiao deliberately did not finish speaking, but his meaning was already very obvious—either Shen Tianlin changed the content of the contract back, or he would publicize this matter openly in front of the important customers of the Lord’s Shop!

“Wang Xiao, do you know what you’re doing?!”

Shen Tianlin gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, “It’s just a small change. Do you really want to offend the Lord’s Shop because of this?”

“I’m only a level three lord from a small city. If I can drag the Lord’s Shop down, it doesn’t seem to be a loss, right?”

Wang Xiao smiled casually and vividly reflected the essence of the words

“those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes.”

Actually, Wang Xiao had no choice. He definitely could not agree to the conditions of adding two more mutated beasts. However, with his meager strength alone, he was not even qualified to negotiate with the Lord’s Shop.

Moreover, this was the territory of the Lord’s Shop. No matter how capable Wang Xiao was, he was still alone. It was very difficult for him to communicate equally with Shen Tianlin like before. If the other party turned hostile and threatened him, he might even lose more things.

Helpless, Wang Xiao could only use this plan to bring up the important customers here before taking the initiative to attack and threaten the other party with the reputation of the Lord’s Shop.

Previously, Wang Xiao had refused to go to the reception room to prevent such a situation from happening. However, he did not expect the famous Lord’s Shop to really use such a childish trick.

Now that it had already happened, Wang Xiao could only continue according to the plan. Uncompromising was the most important thing.

After all, Wang Xiao did not dare to really offend the Lord’s Shop. However, only by putting on an unreasonable and fearless attitude could Shen Tianlin believe that he would really do this.

On the other side, Shen Tianlin looked at the growing crowd and basically guessed Wang Xiao’s plan. He gritted his teeth and whispered patiently, “Brother Wang, this is what the boss…”

“You won’t change it, right?”

Wang Xiao nodded before the other party could finish speaking. Then, he shouted at the crowd watching the commotion, “Everyone, come and judge!

“After the changes, I have to pay an additional three billion star coins for this batch of resources! However, this is not a matter of money! This is a matter of attitude! After doing such a thing, can we still do business with the Lord’s Shop in the future?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the crowd who were watching the commotion whispered to one another. However, most of them were studying Wang Xiao’s identity. After all, they were all old customers of the Lord’s Shop and could not easily believe Wang Xiao’s one-sided words.

A moment later, one of the middle-aged men asked, “Little brother, do you know the consequences of framing the Lord’s Shop? You said that they secretly changed the contract. Do you have any evidence?”

“I have no proof!”

Wang Xiao replied frankly without hesitation. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Shen Tianlin. “He has always been holding this contract. He just thinks that I have no evidence and no background, so he’s not afraid of me exposing him!”

Shen Tianlin was confused.

“But think about it, all of you! I’m just a little lord with no background. If it’s not true, why would I dare to say it?”

“There are many experts in the Lord’s Shop. They can turn me into ashes with a casual move of their fingers. However, even if I die today, I have to tell everyone about this! Not only for myself, but also to seek justice for everyone!” Wang Xiao’s voice was still a little childish. When he shouted, it made people feel even more aggrieved.

People always sympathized with the weak. The people watching the commotion were silent for a moment before subconsciously standing on Wang Xiao’s side.

“I think what he said makes sense. If not for the unfair treatment, who would dare to go against the Lord’s Shop in such a place?”

“That’s true… but that’s the Lord’s Shop! I’ve done business with them hundreds of times, and this has never happened.”

“Perhaps you didn’t notice? Last month, I bought a batch of resources and was charged an additional 300,000 yuan when I paid the bill. I only found it myself later! ”

“Now that you mention it, I remember too. Last year, they held a discount event. I was only three days late, but they charged me the original price. I spent more than a hundred thousand yuan!”

…You deserve it.’

“Hey! What are you saying?!”

“Minister Shen, calm down. Let me talk to him first.”

Lin Xiang comforted Shen Tianlin and hurriedly pulled Wang Xiao to the side. He whispered anxiously, “Brother Wang, you’re muddle-headed! What good will it do you to end up like this?”

“Are you here to speak up for them?”

Wang Xiao frowned at Lin Xiang and shook the [Gold Contract] until it rattled. “I’ve always treated you as a friend. Now, you want to persuade me to suffer in silence?”

“That’s not what I meant!”

Lin Xiang hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this. “If you have a problem, you can sit down and talk slowly. If you fall out with me now, I won’t even have a chance to mediate this. If Minister Shen falls out with you, you’ll definitely suffer!”

“So be it!”

Wang Xiao sneered indifferently, but his eyes were filled with seriousness as he looked at Lin Xiang. ‘Manager Lin, I know this might make you unhappy, but I still have to say it.”

“I believe vou’re telling the truth when vou sav that vou’ll mediate for me, but don’t forget that you’re only a branch manager of Kaiyang City. In this place, your right to speak is actually about the same as mine. What ability do you have to mediate for me?”

Lin Xiang was immediately speechless when he heard this. He wanted to refute, but he knew that Wang Xiao was right.

“So it’s up to me this time.”

Wang Xiao patted Lin Xiang’s shoulder and his eyes vaguely lit up. “The Lord’s Shop has been high and mighty for too long.. If no one makes a fuss, they will forget the small figures below them!”
