Xie Qi made a prompt decision and immediately entered the teahouse and headed backstage. Not long after, he successfully found the teahouse owner.

Mei Lin looked up and down at the uninvited guest, whose face was hidden so tightly that no one could see him. A hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes. He said, "You want to buy my teahouse? You're quite arrogant!"

Xie Qi responded calmly, "I'll pay you twice the original price of this teahouse."

Mei Lin was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the hot tea, and said slowly, "This is not about money. I've run this teahouse through thick and thin for a full ten years."

After saying this, an indescribable look of attachment appeared on his face.

However, Xie Qi didn't seem to be shaken by the other party's words. He raised the price without hesitation: "Three times the price."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Lin, who had been calm and composed, paused noticeably and almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

But after just a moment, he still shook his head, his face full of reluctance that seemed to be overflowing, and he muttered to himself: "My feelings for this teahouse are really extraordinary..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xie Qi.

How could Xie Qi not notice Mei Lin's little move? However, at this moment, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

So he gave in a little and said in a gentle voice, "Since you don't want to sell this teahouse to me, then it's fine. In this way, I am willing to pay a sum of money to help me arrange for an actor to perform on stage in your teahouse. What do you think?"

Mei Lin frowned when he heard this. He had thought that the man in front of him who covered his face was stupid and rich, but now he didn't want to buy it anymore.

So, Mei Lin said very rudely, "I'm not hiring here. You should look somewhere else."

Xie Qi: "Sell this teahouse to me at four times the price!"

When Mei Lin heard this, his eyes instantly widened like bells, then suddenly lit up. He muttered to himself, "Wow, I never thought the other party would be so obsessed with my teahouse. Judging from the attitude, he must buy it."

Since the other party showed such a strong willingness to buy, Mei Lin would not miss this good opportunity to make a killing.

His eyes rolled, and he sighed with feigned regret. Then he said slowly, "Oh, it's not that I don't want to sell it. It's just that this teahouse is the culmination of all my hard work. But since you really want it, I'll grit my teeth and sell it to you at five times the price."

Xie Qi was furious after hearing this. Four times the price was his bottom line, and this guy wanted five times the price? He could have bought several teahouses of the same size with that much money! Did this unscrupulous businessman take him for a fool?

Unable to endure it any longer, Xie Qi reached out and tore off the clothes covering his face, then raised one foot and stepped heavily on the chair the other person was sitting on.

At the same time, Xie Qi reached out and tightly grasped Mei Lin's collar, staring at him intently, and squeezed out a cold word from between his teeth: "How dare you cheat me? Do you believe that I will smash this shabby teahouse of yours in a minute? You won't get a penny!"

When the other party saw Xie Qi's face, he was struck by lightning. Who could have thought that the person who bought his teahouse would be this dreaded devil? If he had known earlier, he would not have cheated the other party.

At this moment, Mei Lin wanted to cry but had no tears. He stammered, "Thank you, thank you, Master. I will sell it to you, four times the price, no, three times the price."

Xie Qi: “Twice!”

Mei Lin's expression became even uglier, but he didn't dare to say another word. He could only nod helplessly, secretly groaning in his heart.

Meilin: “…Okay.”

After hearing this, Xie Qi finally let go of him. He refused to listen to a proper discussion and insisted on making him run away. He was a jerk.

Then Xie Qi clapped his hands, sat on a chair at the back, and said, "You continue to run the teahouse for me, and you won't be short of money. Don't even think about running away."

After Xie Qi finished speaking, he looked at him and warned, "If you dare to tell anyone other than you and me about my purchase of the teahouse, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."

Mei Lin: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone else know."

Meilin then handed the teahouse deed to Xie Qi, and Xie Qi also gave the bill to Meilin.

At this moment, Xie Qi became the owner of the teahouse, and Mei Lin not only did not cheat Xie Qi, but instead became Xie Qi's employee.

However, Mei Lin didn't expect that Xie Qi would actually give him the money. He had thought that this playboy would deny it, but he didn't expect that he would keep his promise. It was just that the other party had a bad temper.

At this time, Xie Qi said again: "Tomorrow at noon, I will bring someone to the stage."

Mei Lin said hesitantly, "Master Xie, the Madam will come to listen to music at noon. She likes Miss Lan'er's singing. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to suddenly change your appearance. What if you make the Madam unhappy? What will we do then?"

Facing Mei Lin's worries and doubts, Xie Qi was unconcerned and replied with great confidence, "What could be wrong with that? The person I found is also a master at singing, no worse than anyone else."

Seeing Xie Qi so insistent, Mei Lin couldn't say anything more and could only nod and agree: "Since Master Xie has said so, then I will naturally do my best to arrange everything. However... I wonder where that person is now? Can I see him first? It will help me make some preparations in advance, right?"

Xie Qi glanced at Mei Lin and said impatiently, "He's my man. He has to show up whenever I want him to. Tomorrow he'll come in through the back door with my badge. You just have to obey his orders. Remember, his words represent my will."

Mei Lin: "Yes." Hearing Xie Qi's words, Mei Lin didn't dare to ask more questions and had to agree.

At this moment, Mei Lin suddenly understood why the young master of the Xie family was willing to spend a huge amount of money to buy his teahouse. It turned out that it was to please his sweetheart.

It’s just that the young master of the Xie family seems to be too possessive and won’t even let himself look at people.

But Mei Lin is a little worried now. He is not sure about the singing ability of this newcomer who was sent in by Young Master Xie. If he doesn't sing well, he will suffer too.

Xie Qi didn't intend to let anyone else know his other identity except himself, so he would cover his face when he came to the teahouse tomorrow.

Moreover, Xie Qi's personality as an actor was completely different from that of Young Master Xie, so much so that for a long time afterwards, Mei Lin always firmly believed that they were two different people.

It’s a pity for Meilin that such a good person can only be buried in this teahouse and become Master Xie’s underground lover.
