“I’m on your left and right. And I’m also up above. Are you surprised or not? Are you shocked?” Salted Fish asked in a b.a.s.t.a.r.dly manner.
“Ghost!” The j.a.panese man finally snapped back to his senses and ran away in fright!
It was not his fault for being afraid. To have a person ride his neck while feeling weightless. What else could it be but a ghost?
However, he forgot that Salted Fish was riding his neck. What was the use in running?
Therefore, Salted Fish yelled. “Don’t run. My hair is getting messed up!”
This only made the man run even faster…
“Slow down. Stop running. There’s a road ahead. Whoa! Whoa! Ho! Stop!”
Unfortunately, the more Salted Fish shouted at him, the more afraid he became. He quickly rushed onto the street and a car was about to crash into him. The man widened his eyes in shock, but he forgot to run like a deer in headlights!
When Salted Fish saw this, he cursed. “I told you to stop, but you didn’t. Why Aren’t you running when you should be running?”
Salted Fish immediately jumped down and carried the man as he flipped through the air, avoiding the car and crossing the road.
Before the j.a.panese man could react, Salted Fish threw him to the ground and pointed at his nose. “Are you an idiot?”
The j.a.panese man looked at Salted Fish and the car that had braked. The enraged driver had gotten out of the car and was pointing at him and cursing. Suddenly, he snapped back to his senses and stood up to bow at Salted Fish. “Thank you… Thank you for saving me.”
Salted Fish looked at the person in front of him. He held back his urge to curse and shook his head. With his hands behind his back, he walked away. As he walked, he said, “Little kid, you have to look both sides of the road before crossing in the future. Don’t run around blindly.”
The j.a.panese man: “…”
On the track, Tang Ze eventually rejected Song Xian’s invitation and chuckled. “Your skill in the Way of the Tea is about the same as mine. You’ll be more suitable than me.”
At first, Song Xian did not understand what Tang Ze meant. After that, he came to a realization and smiled. “In that case, Master… Ahem, in that case, Brother Tang, please watch. I’ll be right back.”
Seeing that Tang Ze didn’t go on stage, Chiro’s eyes flashed with disappointment. He was the number one master in j.a.pan, but in China, he didn’t dare to claim number one. However, he desired to fight against the strong, but clearly, he wouldn’t get his wish.
Is.h.i.+ heaved a sigh of relief. He was a businessman, and since it was business, he was not interested in fair compet.i.tions. All he wanted was to win!
With a wave of his hand, a woman in a kimono walked up the stage with a silver tray. She placed the tea leaves down and left respectfully.
Is.h.i.+ slowly stood up and said, “Dear judges, the tea leaves in front of you are our Hiei family’s new breed, Hiei Premium. Of course, I prefer calling it Hiei No. 7.”
Upon hearing this, Song Ming’s expression turned ugly. In the eyes of others, Hiei No. 7, didn’t seem important.
However, in Song Ming’s eyes, there were too many things about Hiei Premium that looked identical to Seven-Inch Fragrance! This was clearly a new breed that had been cultivated with Seven-Inch Fragrance as its foundation!
Is.h.i.+ probably didn’t have pure intentions for deliberately mentioning Hiei No. 7. Firstly, it was to flaunt and disgust others, and secondly, it was to affect Song Xian’s mood.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Song Xian frowned slightly.
When Is.h.i.+ saw this, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile as he continued, “Our Hiei No. 7 was cultivated using more than a hundred precious tea breeds and complicated methods. During this process, we planted many species of Hiei No. 7, and then constantly chose the best for further cultivation. The inferior ones were all destroyed.
“In the past seven years, we finally obtained the precious tea species we have now. Hiei Premium Tea!
“Hiei Premium’s fragrance is one honor, a fragrance fit for kings!”
At this point, Is.h.i.+ raised his head proudly, showing his deep arrogance and confidence. He then glanced at Song Ming and said, “Miss Song, what tea are you producing this time? Is it still the same old Seven-Inch Fragrance?”
Song Ming shook her head and said, “The Seven-Inch Fragrance has been given to thieves by our dogs. There’s nothing I can do, so we aren’t using Seven-Inch Fragrance.”
Upon hearing this, a look of displeasure flashed across Is.h.i.+’s face. However, he could not accept such a scolding. If he accepted it, it would mean that he admitted to being a thief.
Meanwhile, Boss Qian’s smile froze on his face. Everyone in the circle knew that he had stolen the Seven-Inch Fragrance for the Hiei family.
Hence, he was being cursed for being a dog!
However, at this moment, he couldn’t retort. Otherwise, everyone would learn of it, and it would be equivalent to admission.
After all, the rumors outside were all rumors and no one had any evidence.
It was fine if they spoke about things in private without evidence, but they said it in public, that would be slander!
Boss Qian could sue them.
However, if he admitted it himself, there was no way he could whitewash it.
Once this matter was confirmed, he would no longer be able to do business in China. He could just leave. Not an inch of China’s 960,000 square kilometers would welcome him.
Ignoring others, just those who were in the business with tea leaves would kill him!
Hence, Boss Qian’s face sank. He lowered his head and said to the people around him, “I’ve tasted Hiei Premium before. It’s really an enjoyment fit for a king. Seven-inch Fragrance won’t do. It’s too inferior. They aren’t even on the same level. If Song Ming were to use Seven-inch Fragrance again—and it’s not that I look down on her—but she stands no chance at all!”
“Are you serious? This Hiei Premium is that good?” a boss beside him asked in surprise.
Boss Qian said confidently, “You know that I’m in the business of high-end tea. I don’t deal with anything that’s not top-notch. All these years, Hiei Premium Tea is the best I’ve seen! Only this tea can reign supreme!”
“Hearing you talk about it makes me want to try it too. However, wouldn’t we lose? If we really lose, wouldn’t all our efforts over the years be for nothing?” the boss said.
Boss Qian said, “Humans are limited, but tea has no limits. We only drink tea, so there’s no need to get personal about it. It’s good that we have good tea.”
“Hehe, Boss Qian, isn’t what you’re saying wrong? Tea has no limits, but humans have limits. Tea is ultimately meant to serve humans, and it’s controlled by the will of humans. Therefore, when it comes to tea, it follows the human. If China loses, it will be a disaster for Chinese tea merchants… Oh, I almost forgot; Boss Qian only sells j.a.panese tea. It won’t affect you much.” Another boss sneered.
When the others heard that, they were enlightened. It was no wonder Boss Qian supported the Hiei family. He was just speaking for himself at the end of the day!
This fellow draped on Chinese skin, but deep down, he was not Chinese!
The people who were chatting with Boss Qian immediately s.h.i.+fted to the side to maintain their distance from Boss Qian.
Boss Qian blushed when he heard that. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Is.h.i.+ say, “Alright, cut the c.r.a.p. Take out your tea! I can’t wait to know the outcome.”
