"Since you asked today, I thought I'd mention it."
"But it seems you know him already, and perhaps have even done business together. It was presumptuous of me to share a piece of information with so little value."
Fang Zhen thought for a moment.
That explained it.
Tang Xiaojuan had indeed kept the matter of Fang Zhen selling gold jewelry to Chen Baokun from the Yu Le Gold Store. Yao Xiang must have thought the transaction went smoothly today, and since Fang Zhen had asked, he just shared what was essentially public knowledge.
You could say the information had value, and you could also say it didn't.
Still, if Yao Xiang hadn't mentioned the connection to Chen Baokun, Fang Zhen wouldn't have known about it.
So it was valuable to Fang Zhen after all.
"Alright, I'll look into it when I have the chance. Thanks," Fang Zhen said.
