Early one morning, Wu Zhanggui rushed over only to find Xin He leisurely drinking tea. He was instantly overcome with anxiety.
"Oh my goodness, young lady, the courtesan competition is just around the corner, how can you be so calm?!"
Xin He smacked her lips disdainfully at the tea that was not cold enough and replied casually, "Where do I have the time to sit here? I'm just squeezing in a moment to drink tea. I'm busy all day. What brings you here, Wu Zhanggui?"
With a bitter expression, Wu Zhanggui said, "Even if you are busy with other things, you can't neglect the main event! Think about it, there's only five days left until the courtesan competition, and nobody in Lian'an Town knows about the reopening of Hua Man Lou, and certainly nobody knows about Hua Man Lou's courtesan competition. What's the point of preparing so much if no one shows up when you open? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
