"A discount?" Wu Lanxi asked in surprise.
"You brought this up just to threaten me, right? I'll give you a discount. But to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of this reaching the ears of the Empress. If she really comes to Qihuai County in person, I don't think she'll punish me much."
Wu Lanxi was surprised by his composure.
I've already arrived.
And we can truly see the differences between Qihuai County and other backward towns in Daqing.
On one side is poverty, backwardness, filth, chaos, and rampant evil.
On the other side, life is peaceful and prosperous, with everyone living in peace and contentment, like a paradise on earth.
And just as Tang Huan thought, Wu Lanxi indeed had no intention of punishing the county magistrate for deceiving the emperor.
"In that case, I thank Lord Tang for his kindness."
Wu Lanxi feigned satisfaction, pretending that she had achieved her goal, which was merely to lower the price.

As an emperor, the ability to read between the lines is indispensable.
Tang Huan's apparent desire to get to know other businessmen seemed to be a subtle way of hinting at his own intentions.
He has many partners and doesn't necessarily have to cooperate with the Wu family.
Is this a case of blaming oneself for threatening the emperor with deception?
It's surprising that she has her own temper; she's quite an interesting person.
Little did they know, Tang Huan really did want to find more partners.
Before meeting Wu Lanxi, he had no intention of expanding his business to the capital, but after this sugar business, he discovered that it was profitable.
If they could get help from the wealthy merchants in the capital, Qihuai County would soon become as rich as a country.
