Outside the Chamber of Commerce's gate, several elderly men dressed sumptuously with neatly trimmed beards were smiling jovially at an ongoing ceremony.
Upon seeing this, Tian Wei hurriedly whispered in a low voice, "That one there is Vice Chairman Zhao, a well-known figure from Ezhou and always aiming for the chairman's position."
"Hmm."
Li Yan nodded slightly, unconcerned.

Back in the village, trivial tasks for minor profits would cause fights and sabotage; it was even more so in the Chamber of Commerce where massive interests were involved.
Of course, no matter how fierce the disputes were, it was none of his concern, and he wouldn't spare a glance.
However, just as they were about to enter, Vice Chairman Zhao caught sight of them, blocking their way, and smilingly said, "Tian nephew, how come you didn't greet your uncle upon seeing him?"
