Wei Jin quickly helped him up, "Mr. Shen, there's no need for such formalities. I heard about your predicament a few days ago and was deeply concerned. You are a genius at commerce, it's truly the head of the Shen family who mishandled this situation!"
Wei Jin thought that as a prince, by speaking up for him in this manner, Shen Cong, who's now a mere commoner, is bound to feel grateful.
This is also the art of pacification.
As expected, Shen Cong's eyes reddened: "Thank you, Your Highness King Rui, for your concern!"
Wei Jin spoke kindly for a while longer, Shen Cong seemed to be so moved that he was on the verge of tears, but in reality, his mind was clear.
However, given his lowly status, he had to play along to see why King Rui wanted to meet him without any apparent reason.
