"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Exactly! Whose scented balm looks like that? This Young Heir Apparent... didn't he just fill a bottle with water and bring it here to fool us?"
"And he calls that one of a kind?"
Laughter filled the hall, mixed with a few murmurs of mockery.
There was no helping it. No matter how they looked at the bottle in Jiang Xiaobai's hand, it had nothing whatsoever to do with scented balm.
And Jiang Xiaobai had talked such a big game earlier, claiming people would fight like mad over it and that he would help the Fang Family become the tenth trading house.
Yet in the end... he had brought out a bottle of water?
Who could hold back their laughter at that?
"Brother Fang, agreeing to distribute this scented balm was truly a wise move!"
Several merchants looked at Fang Rongshan, unable to suppress the smiles on their faces.
Fang Rongshan had hunted hawks all his life, only to have one peck out his eyes this time!
If word of this spread through their circles...
Fang Rongshan would probably become a laughingstock himself!
"Indeed, Boss Fang. This time... you've really made us envious!"
"When the Fang Family becomes the tenth trading house, don't forget to look after us! Hahahahaha!"
With that, they burst into hearty laughter again.
Fang Rongshan's expression was rather ugly.
Naturally, he could hear the mockery in their words.
But what could he do? Their Fang Family was the only one willing to support Jiang Xiaobai.
He wanted to believe in Jiang Xiaobai too, but now...
Fang Rongshan sighed and looked at Fang Tong. "Tong'er, this... is the teacher you want to switch to?"
"Father, you don't understand my teacher. It's only natural that you don't believe in him!"
Fang Tong's expression
