"Thank you, thank you. I was just lucky. Now that it's on the shelves, I'll treat everyone to a meal."
The more complacent Zhuang Yuan was at the moment, the more depressed Zhou Jiaming was. Looking at the endless stream of people around Zhuang Yuan, he threw away the mouse in his hand in annoyance.
