Shu Ji Opera House.
Looking at Shu Zhan's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Lu Huai clicked his tongue twice, feeling as if he had traveled through dynasties and met the fierce general Zhang Yide from thousands of years ago.
Shu Zhan gritted his teeth and stared at the person sitting opposite him. He never expected that what Lu Huai said last night would mean this.
Lu Huai asked him if he had forgotten whose theater it was. It turned out that he wanted him to reveal his identity to the manager so that they would obey his orders, in order to attract the governor and the people of Dongcheng.
He even thought...
Proving one's identity is simple; all it takes is to present a token. The Shu family business has only one owner and one owner's wife, but two young masters.
It was him and Shu Hua.
The tokens were simple: the two purses they carried with them, embroidered by Shu Weishi herself. His purse was embroidered with a crane, while Shu Hua's was embroidered with a deer, symbolizing "deer and crane in spring."
After all, it was embroidered by his mother herself, and she even marked it, so there was no need to worry about it being the same as other people's.
At first, he disliked it. Other young masters wore jade pendants and jadeite, but he insisted on wearing this silly-looking purse.
This feeling is really not pleasant.
But he couldn't go against his mother's stubborn nature. In order to get him to wear it, she replaced the original token with this one, and no matter how grumpy he was, he had no choice but to wear it.
He even went to argue with his father about this. However, his father, who was a powerful figure outside, was a henpecked husband at home and refused to admit it!
To save face, his father patted him on the shoulder earnestly and said, "Son, it's not that I'm unwilling to stand by your side, it's just that this matter is truly outside my jurisdiction."
Shu Zhan pouted and said, "Dad, how come you can't even handle such a small thing?"
His father immediately got angry, puffing out his beard and glaring, "What do you know! At least your father can still brag to others that he and your mother each manage half of the household affairs. If I were to fight with her for your sake, would your father still be able to eat in the future!"
"..."
Shu Zhan rolled his eyes. His father was truly the most pathetic man he had ever met.
However, revealing his identity was not the point. The point was that after revealing his identity, Lu Huai told the shopkeeper about his plan, and the shopkeeper agreed.
He happened to need to relieve himself, and seeing that things were going well, he went. When he returned, he learned that when the shopkeeper asked what excuse he should use for these things, Lu Huai actually told the shopkeeper to celebrate him being single for nineteen years?!
However, after squatting in the latrine for half an hour, it was too late for him to return. Shu Ji was indeed Shu Ji; the manager was extremely efficient. By the time he finished and returned, the stage on the next street had already been set up.
Shu Zhan: "..."
He could only press the throbbing veins on his forehead, feeling both smug about the efficiency of his shop and glaring angrily.
"cough……"
A soft cough pulled him back to reality. He immediately reverted to his previous expression, glaring fiercely at Lu Huai.
"It's just a title. As long as you don't say anything, no one will know that you've been single for nineteen years." Lu Huai sipped his tea, a restrained smile on his lips. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that your good brother is about to become a father, while you still don't have a place to settle down."
Shu Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you!"
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes without any modesty, "You're welcome."
Shu Zhan: "..."
