"What did you say? Jiang Shi is unwilling?"
In the courtyard.
Yuan Tianren frowned, grasping the black chess piece in his hand, displaying a cold expression.
"Yes, young master, he used guarding the rice fields as an excuse, unwilling to leave,"
said the middle-aged man with a bow.
"What an ignorant fool, being given face yet refusing it."
Yuan Tianren's tone was icy, crushing the black chess piece in his hand on the spot.
Opposite him was an elder in a green robe, wearing a fine hat, with a long beard and a gaunt face. He smiled slightly and said, "What's this? Did the new Manager Jiang offend you, young master?"
"He didn't offend me, just someone was displeased with him."
Yuan Tianren snorted coldly and said, "Originally, someone asked me to teach him a lesson. Yet, I spared him due to his recent achievements. Unexpectedly, when I asked him to bring some gifts to apologize, he refused. What an ungrateful person!"
