Liu Ergou naturally understood Fu Ya's meaning, but it was his first time experiencing such a grand affair, and he felt a little out of his element. After barely managing to mingle with the crowd, he hastily bid Fu Ya farewell and left.
However, just as Liu Ergou stepped out of the hotel, he was surprised to find Fu Ya's father and Old Tang already waiting for him. Before he could even speak, Old Tang stepped forward.
"Young man, rest assured, I'm not here to pressure you into selling the Hundred Grass Sachet recipe. I just wanted to have a private chat with you," he said. "We can talk about art and things of that nature. If you're interested, come with me. Of course, if you're not, I'll have someone send you home." With that, he stood there quietly, awaiting Liu Ergou's decision.
Looking at the two men before him, Liu Ergou hesitated for a moment. Instead of making a choice, he asked, "Uh, about how long until I can head back?"
