God-Level All-rounder Expert-Chapter 1305 - 1385: There’s No Need for That!

Outside the traditional Chinese medicine wholesale market, there is indeed a teahouse, and the environment and standards here are quite commendable.

As it happens, this teahouse is run jointly by the Dong Family, Li Family, and Zhang Family, and the reason is actually quite straightforward.

After all, it is right next to the wholesale market where they have their herbal medicine shops. There are many such markets in State City, but you never know what kind of customers might come to the market to hunt for treasures.

If they encounter major clients, some negotiations can take place in the shop, but mostly they are held in the teahouse.

The environment here is elegant and very private, making it an excellent location.

The moment the owner saw Li Yinong and Zhang Shuishui, he became very enthusiastic, immediately rushing out to greet them personally and then leading them to the best private room on the second floor.

"Mr. Fang, please." Li Yinong made an inviting gesture.

Fang Yi didn’t hesitate, taking the lead. The owner, being a shrewd person, could tell at a glance that this bearded man must be extraordinary to receive such treatment from Li Yinong, so he became even more enthusiastic toward Fang Yi.

Of course, there were also Huang Xiaotian and the other three, along with Niu Er, and Li Yinong did not neglect them either. After they were shown to the private room, Li Yinong instructed the owner to take good care of them, to which the owner immediately agreed with a smile.

In the matter of dealing with people, Li Yinong was more skilled and tactful than Zhang Shuishui, leaving no room for criticism or oversight. During the whole time, Zhang Shuishui could only follow silently, not finding a chance to speak.

The sliding door of the private room was closed, and Li Yinong made another gesture, smiling, "Mr. Fang, please have a seat."

The seat Li Yinong indicated was the main seat.

This was indeed a gesture of respect.

Yet Fang Yi sat down without any reservation. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Fang Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, but unfortunately, there were no cigarettes left, just an empty pack. At this moment, Li Yinong tugged a piece of hemp string on the wall, on which hung a bell.

The bell rang!

Shortly after, a waitress walked in respectfully.

"Please bring in a pack of cigarettes. By the way, Mr. Fang, what type of tea do you like?"

"Jasmine tea is fine."

"Alright." Li Yinong glanced at the waitress again and said, "Three cups of jasmine tea."

The waitress acknowledged and swiftly retreated to prepare while gently closing the door behind her.

The private room was air-conditioned, and in contrast to the chilly weather outside, it was warm like spring inside.

Moreover, the seating in the private room wasn’t the traditional tables and chairs; instead, there was a carpet on the floor with a low table on it, which required shoes to be taken off before sitting cross-legged on the carpet.

Of course, there was no specific requirement for posture; lying down was also acceptable.

Many might think this style belonged to Luo Country, but it actually came from the Tang Dynasty. Luo Country adopted it from the Tang Dynasty in ancient times.

Soon, the waitress returned with three cups of jasmine tea, a teapot of hot water, some snacks, and, of course, a pack of cigarettes.

Quick to act, Li Yinong grabbed the pack of cigarettes, opened it, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Fang Yi with both hands. Watching this scene, Zhang Shuishui felt a bit overdone—was that level of reverence truly necessary?

In fact, even Fang Yi felt somewhat uneasy—the enthusiasm of this Li Family heiress was overwhelming.

Fang Yi accepted it nonetheless, saying, "Miss Li, that’s not necessary."

"Alright."

Li Yinong nodded slightly, picked up the lighter, lit it, and handed it to Fang Yi.
