After Huangfu Wuxia received the news, she was so furious she nearly jumped up. "What the hell does this deal have to do with Tiantong?"
She firmly believed that the Graphene business project had been developed jointly by her and Feng Jun—though Feng Jun held the larger share. All she had done was provide him with some information about the Orderless Plane.
Throughout the entire matter, Tiantong of the Orderless Plane had played no role at all, and the transaction had not been conducted in Tiantong's name.
Such things were actually quite common. Tiantong did business across multiple planes, and aside from the Tiantong Merchant Alliance's established operations, its various shareholders inevitably mixed in some private dealings.
For transactions like grain for Graphene, the Huangfu Clan had basically made no profit at all—the profits had all gone to Feng Jun. What the Huangfu Clan gained was merely the Orderless Plane's friendship.
Ordinary people could not easily interfere in such barter transactions to begin with, and Tiantong was not suited to meddling either. The Orderless Plane only recognized grain, while if Tiantong received Graphene, it could only sell it to Feng Jun. What was the point of all their fussing about?
Yet once the Nangong Family got involved, the project directly became Tiantong's business and was even assigned to the Nangong Family. The fact that Huangfu Wuxia had not immediately started fighting Nangong Youjiu already showed remarkable consideration for the bigger picture.
Having suffered such a grievance, she could not simply swallow it, so she sought out Feng Jun to complain.
Feng Jun was both amused and exasperated when he heard this. "So that's why he came looking for me. The Nangong Family thinks awfully highly of itself, doesn't it? Do they really think I can't survive without their Graphene?"
"Hmph."
