Of course, Zhao Yuan wouldn't refuse Cheng Yunlong's kind offer. Right away, the two of them left Shufang Studio and went to the antique shop next door. As soon as they entered, Cheng Yunlong bellowed, "Old Zhang, get over here and greet your guest! An honored guest has arrived, so show some hustle!"
"Pah! What do you mean, 'greet your guest'? A filthy mouth can't utter decent words!" A middle-aged man in traditional Hanfu, his wrists laden with various beaded bracelets, emerged from the shop's tea room. Laughing as he chided Cheng Yunlong, he then gave Zhao Yuan a curious look.
Evidently, Cheng Yunlong and this Boss Zhang had a good relationship. He took the chiding in stride and, instead, took it upon himself to order the shop's staff, "What are you all gawking at? Get a move on! Bring out all the Jade Rings in the shop, and any uncarved jade stones too. Let Master Zhao take his pick."
The employees instinctively turned to look at their boss.
