The auction of the Chamber of Commerce

Guardian Zhao looked at the seating arrangement and was immediately dissatisfied. He asked Qiu wanjin, " how can we allow Xia qingchen to be on equal footing with our shrine's chief Hall master? "

Xia qingchen was seated while the shrine master was on the right. Didn't this mean that the two of them were on equal footing?

Qiu wanjin lowered his voice and explained, " Lord Xia is not only a noble, but also a great benefactor to both our families. He has no intention of disrespecting the hall master.

"That's not a reason for him to be on equal footing with our Hall master!" Guardian Zhao's brows shot up. Get him down immediately!"

Qiu wanjin was dissatisfied. He was the owner of this place, and he could invite whoever he wanted to. Why did that Zhao guy dare to leave his guest?

He remained silent. Given his identity as a merchant, it wasn't convenient for him to have a conflict with the shrine. However, Xia qingchen could.
