Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Severing Cooperation_1

"Who do I think speaks with such a big tone, it turns out to be Chairman Tao of Tao’s Commerce Guild."

Wen Tianning, dressed in a Tang suit, strolled over slowly. He glanced at Tao Pinggui and spoke with an indifferent tone, "I wonder if this old man has the privilege of catching Chairman Tao’s discerning eye."

Old Master Wen? It’s actually Old Master Wen!

The crowd, recognizing the comer as the Wen Family’s helmsman, Old Master Wen, immediately made way, while also feeling curious.

Normally, Old Master Wen wouldn’t attend such a small or medium-scale auction, so why did he come all of a sudden today?

Tao Donglai frowned slightly, evidently thinking along the same lines as the others.

He glanced at Gui Nongsang across from him and began to understand.

When he came to Jiangling City last year, he heard that Old Master Wen’s health wasn’t very good, so it seems Old Master Wen must be here to seek Gui Nongsang’s help for his health issues.

Thinking this, Tao Donglai stepped forward and bowed slightly as a gesture of respect, saying, "Old Master Wen, you jest. This is your territory; how could my uncle and I dare to be presumptuous."

Tao Pinggui, knowing this wasn’t their territory in Jiangnan City, also followed by clasping his fists and managed a smile, "The younger generation, Tao Pinggui, greets Old Master Wen."

"It’s really an incident that led to my impulsiveness in uttering those words..."

"An incident? What incident?"

Wen Tianning hummed through his nose and said lightly, "All I know is that your Tao Family bullies others by virtue of your power, proclaiming here in my Wen Family’s auction center that you will ban my guest!"

"Chairman Tao, Young Master Tao, this is Jiangling City, not Jiangnan City!"

Upon hearing this, both Tao Pinggui’s and Tao Donglai’s expressions changed simultaneously.

What does this old man mean? Is he determined to oppose our Tao Family?

Tao Pinggui, after all more senior and steady, took a deep breath, looked at Mo Han, and addressed Old Master Wen with clasped fists, "Old Master Wen, the incident today was rashness on our Tao Family’s part."

"However, there are some people I, Tao Pinggui, must deal with!"

"Last night, it was this damned scion with the surname Mo at the Spring Breeze Restaurant who laid a hand on me!"

"These two legs of mine, along with a certain part that met with misfortune, are all thanks to him!"

"I implore Old Master Wen to make way and not interfere in our personal matter!"

Today, Tao Pinggui and Tao Donglai attended the Wen Family’s Chinese medicine auction together and brought quite a number of subordinates, among whom were Tao San, Tao Si, and Tao Wu, three experts of the Innate Realm.

Although Mo Han once defeated Tao Liu in one move, Tao Liu was merely an expert of the Houtian Realm.

The difference between the Houtian Realm and the Innate Realm may be just one word, but their strengths are as different as heaven and earth.

Tao Pinggui simply couldn’t believe Mo Han could fight against three, winning over the Tao Family’s carefully trained three Innate Realm experts.

"Chairman Tao, I’m afraid I cannot accommodate this request!"

To everyone’s surprise, Wen Tianning actually refused. He stroked his chin beard and stated lightly, "My Wen Family once received a favor from young brother Mo, so I cannot ignore his matter!"

"Indeed!"

At this moment, Wen Biyu stepped forward, took Mo Han’s arm, and said firmly, "Brother Mo is the person I, Wen Biyu, most respect. Whoever targets him, targets me!"

Seeing the stunningly beautiful Wen Biyu speaking up for Mo Han, Tao Donglai’s face turned dark.

He could feel that Wen Biyu had a fondness for this nobody, and it was more than just a little.

Last year, he came to Jiangling City under the pretense of celebrating Old Master Wen’s birthday, and at that time, he took an interest in Wen Biyu at first sight.

Although the Wen Family’s strength was far inferior to that of the Tao Family, they still firmly held the second seat of power in Jiangling City.

Once Wen Biyu was won over, the Tao Family could shatter the alliance of the Four Great Families and succeed in advancing into Jiangling City.

He hinted several times to Wen Biyu and Old Master Wen; Old Master Wen always dodged the topic, and that woman, Wen Biyu, did not even bother to give him the time of day, unwilling to dine even once.

But now, Wen Biyu was actively clinging to Mo Han’s arm. Damn it, was she showing off to me, saying I’m not even as good as a stinking married loser?

"Old Master Wen, put it this way, our two families have been associated for over twenty years. Are you really willing to fall out with our Tao Family over a stranger?"

Tao Donglai spoke with a threatening tone, his face grim.

Over the years, despite business conflicts between the Four Great Families of Jiangling City and the Tao Family of Jiangnan City, there were still cooperative relations in certain industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry.

The Wen Family owned over three thousand medicine shops in Jiangling City, while Tao Pharmaceuticals produced "Brother Chao No. 1", which had high profits and effective results, with ample advertising.

Both families had established a long-term cooperation three years ago; Tao Pharmaceuticals was responsible for supply, and the Wen Family for sales, both reaping substantial profits.

Tao Donglai didn’t believe Wen Tianning would really give up the profits of more than a billion a year for a good-for-nothing.

However, the next second Wen Tianning’s words shocked him entirely.

"If anyone falls out, then we fall out! My Wen Family isn’t afraid of you!"

Wen Tianning said coldly, "Biyu has already said it, Mister Mo is our Wen Family’s most honorable guest. Your earlier insult to him is an insult to my Wen Family!"

"As of today, Wen Corporation and Tao Pharmaceuticals will sever all business cooperation, and all Tao Pharmaceuticals products for sale and in stock will be returned!"

"Moreover, any medicine shops under Wen Corporation from now on are absolutely prohibited from stocking Tao Pharmaceuticals products!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Donglai clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Old Master Wen, you had better consider this carefully! This is not just opposing Tao Pharmaceuticals but our entire Tao Corporation!"

Wen Tianning, standing with his hands behind his back, spoke calmly and resolutely, "Of course, I know your Tao Corporation is powerful, but our Wen Corporation is no pushover either! Care to try?"

He had long known that Tao Corporation was coming aggressively and harbored no good intentions, and sooner or later, a fierce battle was inevitable.

So today, he decided to make things clear to see if the other party dared to really start a fight.

"Haha..."

Just as both sides were on the verge of a violent confrontation, and a major fight seemed imminent, suddenly a laugh came from the crowd.

Mo Han pointed at the clock at the entrance of the exhibition hall and said with a hearty smile, "Old Master Wen, it’s about time. Are we still going to start the auction?"
