Qiu Mengyun suddenly realized: "That makes sense."
After entering Wangyuanzhai, Xia Tian did not look at the things on the shelves.
Instead, he shouted directly: "Please call your boss out and tell him someone is here to pick up something."
The chef in charge of the store looked at Xia Tian carefully after hearing what he said.
After making sure he didn't know the man, he asked, "Sir, what can I do for our boss? If you want to buy or sell antiques, you can just come to me. Our boss is busy and not in the store right now."
Xia Tian: "I told you, I'm here to get something."
The chef said politely, "Sorry, sir, our boss didn't tell anyone to pick up the items today. Why don't you give our boss a call first, or come back later?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "No need, just call him out, I know he is here."
Seeing Xia Tian's expression, the clerk at the side couldn't help but question, "Are you here to cause trouble? Our store manager has already told you that the boss is not here, and you are still making trouble here. Do you think we at Wangyuanzhai are easy to bully?"
"Do you know what happens if you cause trouble in our Wangyuanzhai?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Qiu Mengyun, who had been following Xia Tian, hurriedly pulled his sleeve.
"Xia Tian, what are you doing? Let me tell you, the owner of Wangyuanzhai has a very powerful background. Even my dad has to be polite to him when he sees him. You must not cause trouble here, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm really here to get something. Besides, I, Xia Tian, never need to rely on a woman for protection."
Seeing that Xia Tian still refused to leave, the chef who looked like the store manager said, "Sir, you said you came to pick up something. Do you have any proof?"
Xia Tian pointed to his face and said, "This face of mine is the proof."
“Puff!”
Hearing Xia Tian's words, Qiu Mengyun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xia Tian asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at? Is what I said funny?"
Qiu Mengyun suppressed a smile and said, "I'm so sorry, the tone you just spoke was so funny, just like those domineering CEOs in those stupid skits."
The clerk who had warned Xia Tian before was also amused by his words.
"Dude, are you kidding us? How can you use this face of yours as proof? Do you want me to take a picture of you and send it to our boss? Or do you want me to bring something over and brand your face?"
Xia Tian didn't laugh, and said seriously, "Tell him my name is Xia Tian, Xia means Xia in Da Xia, and Tian means Tian in Tian Xia."
"Hahaha! You're quite funny, what do you mean by summer in the middle of summer? Why not just say it's summer all year round? Why go through all this trouble?"
The clerk smiled heartlessly.
But the store manager standing by became serious after hearing Xia Tian's words.
He nodded at Xia Tian: "Okay, Mr. Xia, please wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, Master Liu, are you really going? Have you forgotten that our store manager hates being disturbed when he's drinking tea?" Looking at Master Liu's departing back, the clerk asked in confusion.
However, Master Liu had no intention of paying any attention to him and left without looking back.
Qiu Mengyun, who was standing by, also laughed and teased, "Xia Tian, I didn't expect you to be so humorous."
Xia Tian: "I was just talking normally, how could it be funny?"
Qiu Mengyun laughed and said, "The store manager who just insisted that the boss was not around is now willing to help you after hearing your joke. Isn't that humorous enough?"
Xia Tian rolled his eyes at her: "Silly, you don't understand anything. I'm too lazy to explain it to you."
After saying that, Xia Tian sat on a chair beside him and rested.
"Xia Tian? When did you arrive in Hangzhou? Why didn't you call me to pick you up? Who did you come with this time? Your grandpa or your dad?"
Not long after Xia Tian sat down, Master Liu, who had left earlier, came out with a square-faced man in his 40s.
The moment he saw Xia Tian, the man immediately walked over and asked excitedly.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Uncle Li, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I came here alone this time."
The man called Uncle Li waved his hands in fear and said, "Just call me Lao Li, but don't dare call me Uncle. I don't deserve to be called Uncle."
Xia Tian smiled faintly: "Uncle Li, you don't have to be so polite. It's a new era now. There's no need to be so serious about these trivial matters like before."
"Haha! Okay, since you said so, I'll just be generous and call you uncle." Uncle Li smiled happily.
Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "Xia Tian, didn't you tell me you've never been to Hangzhou? Then what about this Uncle Li? How do you know him?"
Xia Tian: "When did I say I haven't been to Hangzhou?"
Qiu Mengyun's eyes widened: "Didn't you just say it yourself? This Wangyuanzhai is very famous. You can know it even without coming to Hangzhou."
Xia Tian nodded. "Right! Am I wrong? Isn't Wangyuanzhai very famous? Can people who haven't been to Hangzhou also know of its existence through its fame?"
Qiu Mengyun: "That's right."
Xia Tian: "That's right, I just said that you can know it through its fame without coming to Hangzhou. But I never said that I have never been to Hangzhou, right?"
