Chapter 480: Don’t be disrespectful to the gods, or you will die (42)
"We have already heard the music of your pavilion a few days ago. It is truly the most wonderful music in the world! Especially the pavilion owner's performance, which is unique and pleasing to the ears."
The prince paused for a moment, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he continued, "We came here this time because we actually have something to discuss with you, young master."
"I might as well say it straight. My sister and I are from the palace. Your Majesty wants to invite the owner of Rumeng Pavilion to play music in front of envoys from various countries during the Lantern Festival to showcase our country's cultural heritage and style."
Tian Jie was unmoved, "Our boss is just an ordinary person, who can only play the piano and cook. He has no cultural background, let alone such a high hat."
"Please go back, our boss won't agree."
The prince had expected that he would refuse, and instead of being persuaded to leave immediately, he continued to persuade him, "Sir, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Everyone can see whether your boss is capable or not."
"I heard from a waiter yesterday that your boss once received the favor of the emperor of a friendly country, but he was too modest to come out to meet him. You can imagine how popular your boss is."
"Why don't you take this opportunity to let Rumeng Pavilion appear in front of more envoys from friendly countries and show your true strength? In the future, maybe you can open branches in various countries to make your business bigger and better?"
Tian Jie remained unmoved and refused coldly, "Our boss doesn't like socializing, doesn't like meeting people, doesn't like this kind of occasion, and won't agree."
"If you agree to perform in the palace during the Lantern Festival, I will do my best to help you get any reward you want, okay?"
Tian Jie was silent for a moment. "Our boss once said that opening a branch store requires manpower and material resources. If we really open one, we still need to worry about running it. It's better to just open one. Scarcity makes things valuable, and the same goes for stores."
"Besides, everyone knows what the palace is."
"You two are wise men, so I might as well speak frankly. We are all ordinary people, and those in the palace are all people of noble status, so we don't know how to talk."
"If we say something wrong and accidentally offend a noble, we may go there but not come back alive. Besides, we have to face the emperor! Our boss doesn't like to show his true face to others. If we offend the emperor by doing so, it will be an unforgivable sin."
"You two should go back! We just want to live our lives in peace. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After Tian Jie finished speaking, he stood up and left without waiting for their reply. Suddenly, a female voice was heard from behind.
"Thank you for sharing all your concerns. We will convey your message back to you! Please also help convey it to the Pavilion Master. Please consider it carefully. We will come again."
Tian Jie paused for a few seconds, then left without looking back after listening.
The third floor room
Xing Rong lay on the couch as if he had no bones, and looked sideways at Miao Miao who came in without knocking like a lazy cat.
Her eyes were like a calm lake, and she said calmly, "Why are you suddenly interested in the Crown Prince and the Tenth Princess?"
Miaomiao sat down casually, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and started to eat them, completely lacking the respect she usually showed to Xingrong.
"I just went to take a look out of boredom, no way!"
"Okay, you pay for the pot of milk tea you sent me. I'm not treating you."
When Miaomiao heard her being so stingy and ruthless, she exploded!
"Hey! Can't you be more generous and treat me? You know I can't make money by myself!"
