Chapter 21: What a disgusting business war!

~8 min read 1,431 words

Tokyo, Bianliang,

the head of the seventy-two restaurants, deservedly, was the Fan Tower.

But not far from the Fan Tower, a five-story building was currently being decorated.

Waving a folding fan, Zhang Cheng was like a graceful young master: "Chai Wu, go back and thank your young master for me!"

"Young Master, you are joking. My young master is also very interested in what you are doing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Chai Wu immediately flattered him.

And just as the two were chatting, Situ Yaozu walked over dragging someone.

"Oh my, I already said I'm not changing jobs, what are you doing!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu with slight anger, Wang Erya's face was full of anger.

"You'll be safer coming here!"

Speaking to Wang Erya, Situ Yaozu explained.

"This is under the Emperor's feet, Kaifeng Prefecture; what danger could I possibly be in!"

Hearing Situ Yaozu's words, Wang Erya's face was full of refusal.

"Cousin, who is this?"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Erya with curiosity, a look of doubt on his face.

"Oh, cousin, this is Wang Erya! A famous courtesan, she sings!"

Introducing Wang Erya, Situ Yaozu explained: "This is my cousin, the future Prince Consort!"

Watching Situ Yaozu with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng really wanted to say that the first part could be mentioned, but the second part was completely unnecessary.

Suddenly hearing Situ Yaozu's words, Wang Erya stepped forward quite gossipy: "Is the princess your cousin is going to marry the one whose husband was beheaded by Bao Qingtian a while ago!"

"Eh, you know about that too?"

Looking at Wang Erya in pleasant surprise, Situ Yaozu was astonished.

"Of course, it's spread all over the pleasure houses. I heard that the new Prince Consort is seven feet tall, heroic and extraordinary..."

After saying this, Wang Erya examined Zhang Cheng: "But he's not seven feet tall!"

"Over six feet, almost seven feet!"

Looking at Wang Erya in anger, Zhang Cheng could not help but grit his teeth.

"Over six feet, that's still not seven feet!"

Complaining about Zhang Cheng, Wang Erya seemed to have no idea what fear was.

Gasping for air, Situ Yaozu quickly covered Wang Erya's mouth: "Shh, stop talking, my dear lady, my cousin is a person who holds grudges!"

"Cousin, this friend of yours is quite mischievous!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say.

A foot in the Song Dynasty was 33 centimeters; if he were really seven feet tall, wouldn't he be over two meters?

With that height, why be a Prince Consort? Why not go straight to the battlefield and be Xiang Yu?

Zhang Cheng's height wasn't very imposing, but he was over six feet!

Converted to modern height, that was 195cm, which was already standing out from the crowd in the Song Dynasty.

"Cousin, don't hold it against her. She's a villager who just arrived in the city, she doesn't understand."

Gazing at Wang Erya beside him, Situ Yaozu quickly explained.

"Oh!"

Just as Situ Yaozu finished speaking, Wang Erya stomped hard on his foot.

Covering his mouth, Situ Yaozu looked around, his face turning red.

"Young lady, my 'Heaven on Earth' is currently lacking a manager. I wonder if you would be willing to take the position!"

Looking at Wang Erya with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng explained.

"What do you do here? It won't be the same as those pleasure houses, right!"

Examining Zhang Cheng, Wang Erya revealed a suspicious expression.

Because the reason she became a famous courtesan was that she didn't want to accept the "dark secrets" of the brothels!

She didn't care about talented scholars or romance at all.

She had come to Bianliang with dreams, but as a result, those who sang worse than her were already becoming famous.

"Rest assured, everything is completely voluntary!"

Looking at Wang Erya with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Is your background very big?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Wang Erya became curious.

"Let me tell you, Chen Shimei was beheaded by my cousin acting as a prosecutor!"

Leaning in to explain in a low voice, Situ Yaozu's words made Wang Erya widen her eyes, and then she could not help but look at Zhang Cheng: "Young Master, you didn't have your eye on the princess a long time ago, did you! And then you... *clack*... Chen Shimei."

Just as Wang Erya finished speaking, Situ Yaozu on the side said in disbelief: "Cousin, you also have the ambition of a Prime Minister?"

"I, Zhang Mou, read the Spring and Autumn Annals; I act upright and sit straight, I have never had such thoughts!"

Looking at Wang Erya with annoyance, Zhang Cheng also slapped Situ Yaozu.

Because if this were to spread, how would he, Zhang Mou, mix in society in the future!

"Read the Spring and Autumn Annals?"

Turning her head, Bai Yutang heard this sentence, and she was completely dumbfounded.

Because she had been a "classmate" with Zhang Cheng.

What this guy was reading all day was Grand Tutor Pang's collector's edition of "Illustrated Explanations"!

"Shut up, if you say any more, give me back the Juque Sword!"

Pushing Bai Yutang away, Zhang Cheng threatened her, because he felt his innocence was about to disappear.

Zhang Cheng: Since ancient times, who has not died? I want to leave my innocence in the world!

Chai Wenyi: You can actually say that?

Entering the magnificent "Heaven on Earth," looking at the craftsmen decorating, Situ Yaozu asked curiously: "Cousin, why are you building two water pools here?"

"You don't understand, this is called gathering water to collect wealth!"

Waving the folding fan in his hand, Zhang Cheng explained with a face full of smiles.

"Then what about this? Why is there a turtle here!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Situ Yaozu asked.

"Turtle? What turtle, I clearly placed a toad here!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng turned his head, but in the next second, he froze on the spot: "Where the hell is my toad?"

Seeing the toad in the water pool missing, with only two water turtles inside, Zhang Cheng panicked.

Because as a Southerner, he could not believe in his right eye jumping, but he had to believe in the Martial God of Wealth's golden toad!

You could steal his feng shui fish, but if you stole his golden toad, Zhang Cheng would go crazy!

Zhang Cheng: Ah, my golden toad...

Black Bear: Ah, my Armani...

"Who, who stole my golden toad!"

Grabbing his head, Zhang Cheng became anxious and asked Chai Wu on the side.

"Golden toad? A group of people from the Fan Tower came over to take a look a moment ago, and then they left holding a toad. Is that what you're talking about, Young Master?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Chai Wu asked.

Because he hadn't taken the golden toad seriously at all; after all, it was just plated with a layer of gold, and the inside was iron!

"What a disgusting business war!"

Thinking that the people from the Fan Tower had actually stolen his golden toad, Zhang Cheng could not help but gasp.

Because he had long guessed that he would have a competitive relationship with the Fan Tower, but he hadn't expected them to act so decisively!

"Cousin, what do we do now?"

Gazing at Zhang Cheng beside him, Situ Yaozu became serious.

And looking at Situ Yaozu beside him, Zhang Cheng was silent for a moment: "Build me two catapult towers on the roof, aimed at the Fan Tower. I want to bombard their feng shui formation!"

"Huh?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Situ Yaozu and Chai Wu on the side were both dumbfounded.

No, they stole your golden toad, and you're setting up catapult towers here? Who did you learn this from, and can this actually work?

Looking at Zhang Cheng in doubt, Wang Erya felt this guy had some problems, and quite serious ones at that!

Standard Chartered: I'm familiar with this operation!

Zhang Cheng: If the technology were good enough, I would have built the three steel blades of the Bank of China!

Fan Tower: Quick, invite a master!

"Tonight, Bai Yutang, you go steal the Fan Tower's signboard!"

Looking at Bai Yutang beside him, Zhang Cheng became serious.

"Me?"

Pointing at herself, Bai Yutang had a look of astonishment, because wasn't this comparable to the Nine-Headed Snake asking Benboba'er to go mess with Tang Seng and his disciples?
