In the reception hall of the Secrecy Bureau, Wang Qunyou sat at the head of the table, staring at his teacup in silence. Xu Weidong and Zhu Yun sat bolt upright at the lower end, feeling that the atmosphere was off and not daring to make a sound.

At the time, you promised you would surely take control of the Garrison Headquarters and seize the entire Beiping market. But looking at it now, you are nothing but useless windbags."
As Xu Weidong and Zhu Yun opened their mouths to speak, Wang Qunyou waved a hand to silence them and continued, "In the current Beiping market, not only are the goods from Yangtze Company nowhere to be seen, but local merchants have actually seized the market share. And you? You have done absolutely nothing."
