Chapter 1876: Shame on You
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of businessmen, there is only profit. If the profit is in place, who cares about those face and favors?
What's more, the so-called face and favors between them are originally very illusory things. After all, these merchants are in competition with each other. Even if there are favors, how much can they have?
Even if your Xu family is a big family in Wangdu, there are families in Wangdu that are more powerful than the Xu family. If you offend a Xu family, the sky will not fall.
However, Xu Rong did not expect that these guys would do things so decisively. As soon as Su Chen took out the Yuze Pill, these guys immediately chose to turn against him.
You know, Xu Rong had already made a big promise just now. If Su Chen could buy the materials he needed at this trade fair, he Xu Rong would crawl around the square three times while barking like a dog!
But in this situation, these merchants are lining up to send the materials to Su Chen. This time, Xu Rong is embarrassed.
"Eh? Xu Rong, where are you going?"
Just when Xu Rong was about to leave the scene without alerting others, a nosy person pointed at his back and shouted.
Of course, this person did it on purpose. He saw Xu Rong trying to slip away, so he deliberately shouted at him.
After being shouted at, Xu Rong couldn't slip away anymore. He was awkwardly frozen in place, looking very embarrassed.
And the expression on Xu Rong's face was as if someone had just poured a basin of feces on his face. He was as entangled as he could be, as embarrassed as he could be.
"I... I just want to go to the toilet."
Xu Rong said with a stiff face.
And this lame excuse also caused laughter from the whole audience.
Obviously, everyone knew that this was just an excuse Xu Rong made up. In fact, he was just planning to slip away.
"Xu Rong, it seems that the big talk you just made doesn't work."
Su Chen also laughed at this time, "I thought that your Xu family could really dominate the market and control the raw material market of the entire capital. But now it seems that you are just pretending to be a big shot!"
"You... don't be so arrogant!"
Xu Rong's face turned pale and he shouted.
"Who was so arrogant just now? He said that if I buy what I need at this large trade fair today, you will crawl around here three times like a dog?"
Su Chen shrugged and said, "Now, do you honestly fulfill your promise and crawl around here three times? Or should I find a rope and lead you for a walk three times?"
"You..."
Xu Rong was obviously embarrassed for the first time. His face suddenly turned pale again. He sent out various help signals in all directions, hoping that people around him would help him out.
But who would help him out at this time?
Everyone had limited friendship with each other. If they just helped him bully the helpless outsider, it might be okay.
But now, knowing that this outsider had a precious elixir in his hand, who would still speak for Xu Rong? That would be a brainless person.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. In this situation, although no one took the initiative to push it, looking at the expressions on their faces, it is clear that they are just watching the fun, which is not much different from everyone pushing the wall.
"Forget it, they are all a bunch of guys who forget their loyalty when they see profit!"
Xu Rong stiffened his neck and simply acted like a rogue, "Boy, either you kill me with a sword, or you want me to be humble and submissive, forget it!"
After hearing Xu Rong's words, many people present were speechless. They knew that Xu Rong was just being a rogue, and he didn't really want Su Chen to kill him with a sword.
Because he was a member of the Xu family, who would really kill a member of the Xu family with a sword in public? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Xu Rong's words were clearly a rip-off, which was equivalent to saying, I just don't fulfill my promise, what can you do to me?
"Shame on you!"
Just when everyone was speechless about Xu Rong's rogue tricks, suddenly, a cold rebuke came from a distance.
The next moment, a middle-aged man strode over. This middle-aged man was wearing a black robe and his face was a bit majestic.
"It's Lord Lu!"
Seeing this middle-aged man in black robe coming over, everyone hurriedly saluted.
At the same time, many people also showed a gloating look on their faces, because this middle-aged man in black robe was the general manager of today's large-scale trade fair and also the envoy of the royal family.
Xu Rong was a rogue, and was seen by the envoy of the royal family, and was scolded. It is estimated that he will be unlucky!
"Lord Lu!"
Xu Rong was startled and quickly greeted the middle-aged man in black robe, saying in a flattering tone, "You are here!"
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged man in black robe called Lord Lu shot a cold look at Xu Rong and said coldly, "I have heard that the Xu family is very domineering in the capital, causing dissatisfaction among many people.
