Suddenly, Yin Xiong drew in a sharp breath.
He had never doubted that Luo Lanxue would exaggerate. The gravity in her tone was palpable. He hadn't anticipated that Luo Lanxue would bring such a distinguished figure, someone even respected by Qing Shan Old Ancestor. As an ordinary merchant, he dared not entertain certain thoughts.
At least, he knew how to proceed.
"Someone, bring the best pastries from the trading company." Yin Xiong waved his sleeve, and a group of charming maids lined up, presenting a plate of pastries, fearful of neglecting Yi Feng.
After a brief exchange, Yi Feng straightforwardly stated his purpose.
"Publishing a book?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Xiong hardly hesitated. He immediately summoned the steward.
"Sir, please give your orders."
The steward respectfully said.
"Starting today, our company will fully assist Mr. Yi in publishing the book. Whether it's typesetting, handwriting, or printing, everything must be done to the best. If there is any mistake, I will hold you accountable." Yin Xiong ordered directly.
"Sir, currently, our company focuses on jewelry, precious metals, and supplies for cultivators. Once we slack off, the Pingjiang Trading Company might seize the market. What do you think?" The steward expressed concern.
"I don't know about all that. Why are you saying so much?" Yin Xiong suddenly became angry. He directly slapped the steward's face and shouted, "I told you to focus the company on Mr. Yi's book. That's all you need to do. Other matters don't require your verbose input."
"Yes, Sir."
The steward, scared and with a swollen face, quickly retreated.
"President Yin, this is not necessary. Your company's original business is more important!" Yi Feng, astonished, said. He only wanted to publish a book to make some money for household expenses, but he never thought the trading company would go all out to help him publish.
"There's nothing to worry about. To be honest, I love reading myself, and our company has long had plans to develop in this direction." Yin Xiong said with a smile, speaking frankly.
For a while, Yin Luo Li and Luo Lanxue, who were watching from the side, were both stunned.
Yin Luo Li couldn't help but mutter to herself: How come I didn't know that our company was planning to develop in this direction?
