C29 Who Makes Fun of Who?

29 - Who teases who?

The atmosphere at the table became even more lively as Chen Changwen said tipsily, "Zheng Geer, let's go for another round. The first time I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were someone with great talent.

Let me put it this way. If you take the Imperial Examinations next year, you will surely enter high school. Come, I will first wish you the name of the top scorer in advance.

Lu Zheng raised his goblet and clinked it with him, saying, "Uncle Chen, are you serious?"

"Of course! You don't believe me, do you? Everyone, tell me, is Zheng Geer a great genius? " Chen Changwen looked at Qi Lan beside her.

Qi Lan covered her nose with the silk handkerchief, unable to bear it any longer.

Seeing Lu Zheng, this brat did not look ordinary at all.'s flattering caused the people around him to feel goosebumps on their skin, yet he had a face full of enjoyment, as if he was extremely proud of himself.

"Great genius of the Young Master Lu, great genius!" Qi Lan was obviously being perfunctory.

Chen Changwen laughed out loud, "Look, Zheng Geer, all the other people of Qi Lan have praised you as a genius. After today, your name will spread throughout Yangzhou."

Lu Zheng and Chen Changwen clinked their glasses, and Chen Changwen said again, "What everyone appreciates most about Qi Lan is < Journey to the West >. Zheng Geer, can you take out the remaining manuscript for your < Journey to the West > for everyone to see?

To tell you the truth, today I am doing the East, and the rest of Qi Lan are helping. We came here for the manuscript of 'Journey to the West'! "

Seeing that he was almost done with his work, Chen Changwen finally got to the main topic at hand. This method was simple, first he would blow Lu Zheng up, and then he would use the woman beside him to let him drift around. Then, he would go straight to his target.

Not only had he obtained the manuscript, he had even shared a meal with Qi Lan and the others. When he made a lot of money from obtaining the manuscript, Chen Changwen had even thought of throwing in some money to get a closer relationship with them.

"This Lu Zheng is really as Yang Shitou said, a bookworm!"

Lu Zheng's expression did not change in the slightest, saying, "A draft? Sure, sure! Let's eat and drink first. We'll talk about the script later! "

When Lu Zheng said this, Chen Changwen was overjoyed. On the other hand, Qi Lan and Little Die behind her rolled their eyes.

To girls like them who read many people, Chen Changwen's methods were like the palm of their hands. Today, Chen Changwen had borrowed Qi Lan's land and lied to Lu Zheng's script! Now that Journey to the West was on fire all over the city, the manuscripts were worth a lot.

With such a treasure in Lu Zheng's hands, he did not know how precious it was. downed it all in a single gulp, then went to find a girl to urge him on.

This kind of scheming rich young master with a belly full of grass, even if his family really had a huge fortune, it would still make him lose everything!

The green-robed girl, Xiaodie, was the one who disliked Lu Zheng the most. Looking at the way she gritted her teeth, if it were not for Qi Lan stopping her, she would have long turned hostile and chased Lu Zheng out!

After the last round of wine was finished, Chen Changwen ordered the people to clean up the table, then he ordered some people to bring some tea over, and asked Qi Lan and the others to play a song.

The girl washed her face and hands. Lu Zheng then picked up the teacup and began to taste the tea carefully.

After Qi Lan and her group finished singing, Chen Changwen gave an exaggerated applause. He looked towards Lu Zheng and said, "Zheng Geer, Qi Lan and her family have specially come to play your zither today. Your manuscript can finally be brought out for everyone to see, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded his head lightly and said: "Bring Qi Daye, who is beside me, over. Also invite this servant, Yang Shitou, over as well!"

Yang Shitou and Qi Biao had been waiting outside for a long time now. The two of them came in together and stood behind Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng pointed to the wooden box in Qi Biao's hand and said: "Boss Chen, do you see this wooden box? That was the second part of Journey to the West's book. This part was the brilliant plot of Sun Wukong escorting a monk in the Tang Dynasty after he came out of Five Fingers Mountain.

The westbound road was rough and rough, and Tang Xian and his disciples had to go through a total of ninety-one difficulties to reach the Spirit Mountain and obtain the true scriptures. "

Lu Zheng explained the rest of the story in detail. Even though he was only briefly introducing the matter, his words were enough to cause everyone to indulge in endless reverie. Everyone was thinking, if Tathagata's Ancestor were to pin Sun the Monkey on the Five Elements Mountain, how would the story go on?

Recently, the topic had been hotly discussed among the various major academies, the market, and even the officials. Now, Lu Zheng had easily answered his question. Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong met with Monk Tang's rescue and escorted him to the Western Sky to retrieve his scriptures. During that time, he experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties …

Everyone in the room, including Yang Shitou, were captivated, but Lu Zheng stopped abruptly.

Qi Lan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lu, what happened to Sun Wukong in the end? But did he ascend to heaven? Or has he truly become Great Sage Qitian? "

Lu Zheng smiled, shook his head, and said, "Everyone Qi Lan, if you want to know more about the future, please explain to me what exactly Sun Wukong has accomplished and what opportunities he will have in the future. Can I invite everyone to see the story that will follow?"

"Err …" Qi Lan was stunned.

The girl in green, Die, snorted and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't want to say it, who cares!"

Chen Changwen's heart was already itching, he immediately said: "Alright brother, don't keep me in suspense, since the script is right here, why don't you take it out for everyone to see, okay?"

Lu Zheng leisurely took a sip of his tea, then placed the teacup on the table in front of him. He looked sideways at Chen Changwen and said:

"Boss Chen, you are the owner of the elegant Bookshop." Boss Chen, you are the owner of the elegant Bookshop. Uncle Gu Shi was an extremely good manager. Actually, it was not only Yangzhou, in the entire thirteen prefectures of Nanzheng Li, "Journey to the West" was sold like hotcakes.

In order to lay the groundwork, Yangzhou City's 24 pleasure boats, 137 tavern tea shops, and more than 80 storytelling shops were all talking about the book < Journey to the West >. Gu Zhilun spent so much effort and paid such a huge price. Boss Chen, do you really want to eat a meal and let everyone play the zither and pick all the peaches that he planted? Do you think it's possible? "

"Err …"

When Lu Zheng said this, the entire room was in complete silence. Chen Changwen, who was originally in high spirits, instantly froze, while the others in the room were also stunned.

Qi Lan looked deeply into Lu Zheng's eyes, her lips moved for a moment, then she quickly pursed her lips.

Who was the one fooling who tonight? Kiran suddenly felt confused.

"Boss Chen, you might have heard that my < Journey to the West > book was not taken out of the Boss Gu at all. The first reason I did that was because I have quite a good relationship with him. As you can see, I didn't take a penny. I received Journey to the West, which is famous throughout the world, and sold it for a lot of money.

Even though Boss Gu didn't give me any money, but made this market become so hot that it's almost hot. This month, isn't life for Boss Chen's Bookshop a bit bad, a < Journey to the West > isn't just a book, it also determines the popularity of a whole family of Bookshop. "

Lu Zheng paused and said: "Boss Gu has already done all that he needs to do. Now with the remaining manuscript of Journey to the West, even if I give it to a pig, I can let it earn a large amount of silver coins and a large amount of money. Boss Chen, don't you think so? "

"Chi!" Qi Lan could not hold herself back and burst out laughing. She glanced at Lu Zheng, and her face could not help but flush slightly.

"This guy, he's actually been playing around!" In fact, his heart is as clear as a mirror. No wonder Dia'er said that he was full of evil tricks.

Qi Lan's opinion of Lu Zheng immediately changed. Seeing Chen Changwen's face which had turned the color of a pig's liver, he felt very pleased in his heart.

Chen Changwen's mind was in a mess, this scene was completely wrong, it was completely different from what he had imagined.

What do we do now? Chen Changwen suddenly realized that he did not have a single card up his sleeve. Lu Zheng was well aware of the current market situation, as well as the situation of his elegant Bookshop.

If he continued to let Gu Zhilun enjoy the limelight, he, the elegant Bookshop, would have to close the door!

"Boss Chen, you want to work with me? Sure!" I, Lu Zheng, like to work with powerful booksellers. You have been beaten into a sorry state by Gu Zhilun, it's alright, I can give you a chance to get it back. I will let you pick as many peaches as Gu Zhilun has planted.

You are jealous of the Moon Hengwu Book Workshop's popularity, right? No need to be jealous, as long as you cooperate with me, I can make this kind of explosive scene appear in your elegant Bookshop.

Of course, this is on the premise that we negotiate. Today, with Qi Lan and her family here, she can be the witness. I like going straight to the point, because whether it is you or me, our time is very precious. If we can work together, we can get it done in one fell swoop.

"If we can't work together, and if the business fails, then there will be justice and justice. If we break up, we can meet again in the martial arts world, alright?"

Chen Changwen was completely suppressed by Lu Zheng's imposing manner. Staring at Lu Zheng, he felt that Lu Zheng was not just a teenager. This guy was clearly a hundred times more shrewd than him, a veteran who had been rolling around in the market for dozens of years!

Pity that he had eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai, and still wanted to use such a clumsy method to take down Lu Zheng. Now, it seemed like he was seeking his own humiliation.

Chen Changwen had no choice, he had to work with Lu Zheng because what Lu Zheng said was right. Under such a chaotic situation, if Lu Zheng were to pass the script to a pig, it would be enough for the latter to earn a large sum of money and become a boss.

If Lu Zheng did not give the script to a pig and continued to give it to Gu Zhilun, would Yangzhou's elegant Bookshop still have the qualification to be on par with him in the future? Chen Changwen was afraid that he would lose the qualifications to fight Gu Zhilun head on. This was the bloody reality!
