Chapter 2352: Unbeatable

But Shao Liulang never expected that at today's welcoming banquet, the Hangzhou prefect Zhang Wenshu would actually talk nonsense and make such a joke!

What’s the difference between this and cursing the emperor to die?

"You are disrespectful to your Majesty!"

Shao Liulang was furious.

Zhang Wenshu smiled and said, "This is the custom, Your Excellency. Please don't say that, otherwise it will cause some misunderstandings. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The custom here is that we only talk about romance and not politics during banquets. Since Your Excellency is here, we should drink and toast Your Excellency a few more glasses. If there is anything, we can talk about it later! Wouldn't it be a good idea for both the host and the guests to enjoy themselves and share the fun? Don't you think so?"

How could everyone not know what Zhang Wenshu meant? They all immediately echoed and applauded.

"That's right! Master Zhang is absolutely right!"

"Yes! That's exactly what should be done!"

"Come on, come on, drink, drink!"

"Hey, let me offer a toast to the Imperial Envoy!"

“.…..”

When it comes to making jokes and talking about other things, one person can never be a match for a group of people. Two fists can never beat four hands.

Although Shao Liulang was furious, he couldn't do anything at this moment.

Shao Yunduan smiled silently and drank the wine in the glass.

That was good, he didn't need to worry about it. Otherwise, Shao Liulang would continue to yell here with his neck stiff and without any bottom line, which would not be very harmful, but it would be disgusting.

Shao Liulang was filled with anger, but no matter how he treated them, these people pretended not to see or know anything and did not take it seriously at all.

He should toast and chat happily, but whenever he wanted to change the subject to "business", someone would interrupt and make jokes, preventing him from continuing.

After several fruitless attempts, he became exhausted and had to give up.

But will Shao Liulang give up? Obviously not.

He knew that Master Qiao was unreliable, so he simply ignored him and bothered Shao Yunduan every day.

Relying on his status as a member of the Shao family, Shao Yunduan really couldn't do anything to him.

It’s not that I’m afraid of him, but I have to do it for others to see.

Shao Liulang was aggressive, demanding, and unreasonable, while Shao Yunduan did not make any substantial concessions but was tolerant and polite. This is called knowing one's limits, having a bottom line, being a gentleman, and having morals, and it can reassure those who follow him and give them more confidence.

If one is merciless even to blood relatives, then he is cold-blooded and ruthless in order to achieve his goals. Even if he did nothing wrong, even if he did it for his own and everyone's future, it will still make people feel wary of him.

Especially after dealing with Mr. and Mrs. Qiao.

When dealing with relationships with blood relatives, one must be more cautious.

It is hard to say whether Shao Liulang has thought of this, but it is true that he is becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Fortunately, Zhang Wenshu was in charge of all the affairs in Hangzhou City. Now everything was on the right track and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to their plan. When there were no emergencies, Shao Yunduan was quite free. Since Shao Liulang liked to pester him, he would just deal with him.

He also wanted to see how long Shao Liulang could patiently do this useless work...

After that meeting, Qiao Xuan never saw Shao Liulang again. Every two or three days, she had to go to the Bay Wharf outside Hangzhou to check on the progress of the project, the progress of the new ship manufacturing and the repair of the old ship.

When we returned from the Bay Pier that day, a group of uninvited guests came to our house.
