The world changes, time flies by in the blink of an eye, like the rolling waters of the East, never to return. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang poet He Zhizhang wrote: "A tall tree adorned with jade, ten thousand green silk ribbons hanging down."

In the warm spring of March, the grass grows and the birds fly, and the earth is rejuvenated, making it the perfect time for a spring outing.

Guanzhou is much more prosperous than it was a few years ago. In the past, it was mainly inhabited by members of the royal family, and few merchants or travelers stopped by. But things are different now.

A burly man with a full beard, leading a chestnut horse, said to the young master beside him, "Young master, I've found out everything. Chunyuan is not far away."

The young master was only in his early twenties, with somewhat dark skin. Although he was dressed like a scholar, one could tell at a glance that he had been leading caravans all over the country for many years and must be the son of a major merchant.

“I’ve seen it. The queue is so long. No wonder it’s the number one workshop. Go and deliver the young master’s invitation.”

Although the burly man with the thick beard was big and muscular, he was extremely agile. In a few flashes, he arrived at the gate of Chun Garden and called out, "Is the manager here? Our young master of Luoyang Trading Company wants to see the manager."

Lin Dongxue, who was in the distance, covered his face when he heard his guard being so rude. He really didn't recognize this person.

Sure enough, the people in line looked at them with disdain, and one of them couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, the young master of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce? My master is the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Only someone like Young Master Lin would dare to shout that he wants to see Manager Fei without waiting in line at Chun Garden. Our business is a small business, we wouldn't dare."

"That's right, the Lin family is very large and powerful, and we small businesses certainly don't dare to compare ourselves to them."

Lin Dongxue smiled apologetically, revealing a set of neat white teeth. "I'm sorry, everyone. My servant is inexperienced and has disturbed you all. Please line up, please line up." As he spoke, he didn't forget to call the bearded man back.

The bearded man was dumbfounded by their back-and-forth banter. He scratched his head and returned to Lin Dongxue's side, saying aggrievedly, "Young Master."

"Get in line!" he said sternly to the bearded man. After speaking, he smiled apologetically at the crowd of onlookers. Seeing that his attitude was good, the crowd gradually fell silent, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After letting out a sigh of relief, he left the bearded man in line and quietly went into the teahouse next door. The teahouse was very popular, and after looking around, he couldn't find any empty tables.

At this moment, the waiter came over and said, "Sir, this way please."

Lin Dongxue nodded and followed the waiter. He thought the waiter was going to take him to a private room or upstairs, but the waiter took him to a middle-aged man with a large belly and pointed to the empty seat opposite the middle-aged man, "Sir, please sit down. What kind of tea would you like?"

The portly man glanced at him and even smiled, as if it were a very common occurrence and he didn't mind him sharing a table with him.

Looking around again, I noticed that several tables of guests seemed to be strangers to me, each drinking their own tea while their eyes were fixed on Chunyuan across the street.

"Is this your first time here, young man?" the portly man asked.

Lin Dongxue sat down and said to the waiter, "Bring me a pot of Biluochun tea."

"Please wait a moment, sir." The waiter bowed and left.

Lin Dongxue looked at the portly man and asked very politely, "My surname is Lin, and I come from Luoyang. May I ask how you are addressed, sir?"

"I wouldn't dare. I'm just a humble student from Fuda. You can just call me Old Fu, young man." Uncle Fu was equally polite.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dongxue immediately stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "I was blind to your greatness and did not know that you were Steward Fu. Please forgive me."

Uncle Fu laughed heartily, "Young brother, sit down, no need for all that formality." His plump face trembled slightly, "Young brother, is this your first time in Guanzhou?"

"To be honest, Steward Fu, this is my first time in Guanzhou. I never expected to meet you, Steward Fu. It's really my luck." He bowed again.

Uncle Fu waved his hand and chuckled, "Hey, young man, don't be so polite. Are you here to shop at Chunyuan?" he asked again.

Lin Dongxue was still in a state of excitement when Uncle Fu asked him questions. He answered them all without hiding anything.

Naturally, Uncle Fu only asked some ordinary questions. After asking, he stood up and said, "Since this is your first time visiting Chunyuan to make purchases, I, Uncle Fu, will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."

Lin Dongxue was not about to let him leave, so he quickly grabbed Uncle Fu's hand and said, "Manager Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I invite you for a drink?"

Uncle Fu shook his head. "No rush, there will always be an opportunity." With that, he left the teahouse with his big belly, not giving Lin Dongxue a chance.

Lin Dongxue sat down somewhat disappointed. At this moment, the waiter brought tea and gave him a word of advice, "Young master, Steward Fu doesn't come often. You're lucky to have met him. But I just heard Steward Fu say that there will always be an opportunity. Don't worry, if he says there will be an opportunity, then there will definitely be an opportunity."

"Really?" Lin Dongxue's eyes lit up, and a smile returned to his face.

In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Zhao Shu and Sun Yun, who had witnessed the entire scene, exchanged a smile. "Uncle Fu has an excellent eye for people. This young master of the Luoyang Trading Company should be someone we can cooperate with."

Sun Yun smiled and drank the misty rain in his cup, then gave a teasing laugh, "The chief is right."

"Princess, Miss, I think that Young Master Lin is quite humorous. It must be very fun to do business with him." These words were spoken by Green Ivy. Green Ivy has now grown into a graceful young lady with round eyes, fair skin, an oval face, and a slender figure. In the spring of March, she wore a green silk dress and looked extremely youthful, lovely, and full of vitality.

"You're always thinking about playing around. How can you play around when you're doing business? Princess, Miss, next time I won't go out with Green Ivy. She always goes out to play and then leaves the work for me to do. I won't stand for it." Half-shu said "I won't stand for it" but her eyes were smiling.
