Chapter 2585: Chapter 2585: Truly Arrogant

What difference is there between selling grain to them and selling it to the common people? Can the common people buy all the grain at once like they can?

Frankly, I saved Master Ji and his men a lot of work later.

"I must see who is truly behind Master Ji."

Once he meets these people, he can report to his superiors and get more money to buy grain. Surely, he’ll make a huge profit from this!

The thought of earning a lot of money naturally makes him happy.

...

That night, Master Ji received a visitation card from Steward Hao, inviting him to meet at Manxiang Building.

He eagerly took the card and went to the courtyard where An Jiuyue lived, and informed her of Steward Hao’s invitation to a banquet. The next day at noon, he brought along two of Qian Jiyun’s secret guards and headed to Manxiang Building.

"Steward Hao, may I know why you invited me here today?"

Following An Jiuyue’s intent and his own thoughts, he was hardly polite to Steward Hao. After entering the private room, he sat down directly, glanced sidelong at Steward Hao, and asked.

"You..."

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, the toughs behind Steward Hao naturally couldn’t stand it and immediately wanted to step forward and teach him a lesson.

In Guangye City, even the Prefect, Sheng Qingyu, didn’t dare to question them so arrogantly. Who was this Master Ji to behave like this?

But just as one of them stepped forward, a glance from Steward Hao pressed him back down.

"Be not rude."

Steward Hao’s keen eyes noticed that although the two men behind Master Ji didn’t show anything, he could sense their aura was different from ordinary enforcers.

They differed from the government guards at the Prefectural office, certainly sent by someone backing Master Ji, right?

"Stand down."

The enforcer looked at the indifferent Master Ji again and then at his own steward, finally responding reluctantly.

"Yes."

He withdrew, leaving the scene to his steward and Master Ji.

"Steward Hao, your men are quite arrogant." Master Ji glanced at the people behind Steward Hao, chuckled softly, and said.

"This..."

Steward Hao, wishing to save face, felt it difficult to bear such comments.

But remembering his purpose today, he had to bear it, as nothing was more important than money. Once he had the grain bought, he could deal with this arrogant Master Ji later.

"Master Ji, please don’t be angry. It’s my subordinates who don’t understand; I’ll have him leave right now."

Saying this, he gestured with his eyes to the enforcer.

In the next moment, the enforcer understood and walked out without daring to linger.

He couldn’t understand why the steward was afraid of Master Ji. Didn’t he only have two people with him while their steward was accompanied by many?

This resentment, he gritted his teeth and swallowed, since the steward didn’t give any orders.

"Still, Steward Hao is magnanimous."

Master Ji, seeing Steward Hao stepping back, wasn’t aggressive but gave him a thumbs up.

Honestly, seeing Steward Hao in this humbled state made him feel quite satisfied; it was truly relieving.

Back then, when this damned thing came before Mr. Sheng, threatening him not to interfere in his grain collection, his arrogance was evident to him.
