Both men had the same outcome in their clash with Lei Zhanqian.
Now, facing the same question from Li Fengyao, it appeared equally sincere, yet the nature of their response was entirely different.
Jiang Wuji remained as confident as ever, admitting that he wasn't a match for Lei Zhanqian at the moment, but clearly believed it was just a matter of realm difference.
Fang Chong, on the other hand, wielded the Business Alliance's usual tactic of feigned modesty, essentially admitting inferiority and willing to concede without vying for the limelight.
The core tenet of current business practices is to pursue profit, with "profit" taking precedence, everything else such as face and glory comes second.
If a businessman ever fights for face, it must be because the fight will bring greater profits.
But Li Fengyao's emphasis on "you've both lost already" wasn't just to have them admit defeat.
