Ji Yanran bought this outfit directly from the Flower Goddess.
After changing into her new martial arts dress, Ji Yanran twirled around in front of the huge bronze dressing mirror a few times.
The more the little girl spun around, the happier she became.
But after waiting for a long time, Ji Yanran still didn't see Jiang Tianlai.
The little girl sat in the chair, looking lost and forlorn.
The little girl rested her chin on her hands, her mind filled with thoughts of Jiang Tian.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Yanran was overjoyed. She quickly stood up and ran to the door. Just then, the door was pushed open.
The butler smelled it and came in.
"Why hasn't Lord Jiang arrived yet?" Ji Yanran retreated, looking dejected.
"Young lady, a message from a hawk sent from St. Petersburg."
Ji Yanran was stunned when she heard that the message came from St. Petersburg via eagle messenger.
"Is there something you need?"
"News from Tsarina Catherine." The steward quickly presented the letter to Ji Yanran with both hands.
Ji Yanran opened the letter, and the little girl was stunned when she took out the letter from the envelope and looked at it.
"These Russians are going too far. They're still up to no good and want to use force against us."
“Young Miss, that’s not all,” Wen Jian continued. “Our Tianxia Society’s business in St. Petersburg has been hampered.”
"Why is that?" Ji Yanran couldn't understand. Wherever their Tianxia Society did business, they were welcomed by the locals.
The silk sold by the World Association in St. Petersburg received unanimous praise from local dignitaries.
In addition, Tianxiahui also sells pearl ceramics and all kinds of porcelain.
In the eyes of the Russians, the people of the World Society were all wealthy.
The private armed forces of the World Society were nothing to the Rakshasa Kingdom, which was like a bandit group.
The World Society made so much money.
In the eyes of these people from countries with significant disadvantages, isn't he just a fat sheep ready to be slaughtered?
"Just tell the truth. I don't have time to listen to your stammering, and I don't want to hear you beating around the bush." Ji Yanran's style of doing things is extremely direct.
As the eldest daughter of the World Society, this young lady is extremely busy.
She didn't have time to speculate.
“Miss, all of our Tianxia Society’s businesses in St. Petersburg have been investigated. The other party not only took all our money, but also issued an exorbitant fine.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanran frowned immediately: "How much is the exorbitant fine?"
"Seventy million taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanran picked up her teacup and smashed it on the ground: "These Russian barbarians are going too far! How much is our World Society's annual income? These Russians want to take 30% of our World Society's revenue with just a fine."
These bastards should take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror.
What right do they have to fine us so much money?
Ji Yanran picked up the teacup next to her, took a sip, and then, still angry, smashed the teacup on the ground.
"If this continues, I will stop doing business with them."
The butler nodded in agreement: "Miss, to put it bluntly, our business in St. Petersburg has never been doing very well."
Those barbarians robbed and punished as they pleased, while members of our World Society suffered at their hands.
Ji Yanran: "Without a strong army, our Tianxia Society will be bullied wherever we go."
"Who dares to bully our young lady?" Jiang Tian's voice came from outside.
Ji Yanran quickly stood up. Before she could have someone clean up the broken teacup, Jiang Tian walked in.
Jiang Tian glanced at the shattered teacup on the ground and frowned: "Ji Yanran, are you hurt?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am unharmed. Someone, please clean this person up for me." Ji Yanran quickly stepped forward and gave Jiang Tian a deep bow.
The girl was wearing a miniskirt, a bow in her hair, long black stockings, and a small tank top.
This outfit seemed to be a self-inflicted blessing, instantly revealing glimpses of her cleavage.
"What happened just now that made you break two teacups?"
After a moment's thought, Ji Yanran handed the letter to Jiang Tian: "Sir, this is a message from the direction of St. Petersburg via a flying eagle."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was immediately taken aback: "Your Tianxia Society's business has already extended to St. Petersburg?"
“Otherwise, where did the woman from the Rakshasa Kingdom that I gave to you come from?” Ji Yanran spread her hands and asked in return.
Jiang Tian opened the letter again.
He didn't look at it, so he didn't know. But as soon as he did, he started cursing.
"These bastards, did I give them face? We've already beaten them to a pulp, yet they still haven't given up and want to fight us head-on."
Since they're so eager to confront us head-on, then we won't tolerate it.
"No matter how many they come, I'll kill them all."
Jiang Tian walked up to Ji Yanran: "Have you ever been to St. Petersburg?"
Ji Yanran shook her head: "Although I have never been there, our Tianxia Society has at least several hundred people who live in St. Petersburg."
We have a chamber of commerce there.
"What are you all transporting over there to sell?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore." Whenever this topic came up, the first thing that came to Ji Yanran's mind was the 70 million taels of silver fine she had been given.
"Tell me about it." Today, I glanced at the butler and smelled something.
"My lord, it's like this," Wen Jian quickly explained the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian slammed his hand on the table, causing all the food on it to jump up.
"Seventy million taels of silver? Your Tianxia Society is quite wealthy? I have never seen your Tianxia Society hand over so much money to the national treasury before, and now the top leader wants to give them seventy million taels of silver."
I think we must conduct a thorough audit of your World Society.
"If your World Society dares to pay this fine of seventy million taels of silver, I can make sure your World Society is completely wiped out of the Great Sea Dynasty."
Ji Yanran didn't expect that revealing the truth would not only fail to garner Jiang Tian's sympathy, but would also enrage him.
"Please calm down, my lord, please calm down!" Upon hearing this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"My lord, where did this nameless fire come from?" Ji Yanran asked, looking puzzled. "Our Great Xia Dynasty only does legitimate business, we've never..."
"Was there tax evasion? Was there favoritism or corruption? Was there bribery or perversion of justice...?"
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, everyone in the room knelt down, shaking their heads repeatedly.
"Sir, how could we dare?"
"Sir, we are all doing legitimate business, and we have never shortchanged a single tael of silver."
"Whether you paid less than one tael of silver is not up to you to decide, but up to me. I can find out the truth clearly."
