Chapter 585: Chapter 578: Heaven-sent Contract
Ye Tian rode a shared bicycle, starting to browse the scenery of the Ancient Capital City.
In five minutes, he arrived at a pedestrian street where various high-end shops were open, mostly luxury brand stores and Western restaurants.
Even though night had fallen, they were not closed, as there were staff on duty 24 hours a day.
The only ancient and quaint building rich in Huaxia’s charm in the city was a century-old tea house named “Xuanjing.”
Only the rich and noble could come here for tea, so even the tea house had many luxury cars parked at its entrance.
Of course, since it was nighttime, there were only two kinds of people who came to drink tea: tycoons discussing business and rich young men bringing girls to show off their refined taste.
However, even though there weren’t many people, there were still quite a few luxury cars because rich people usually liked to park their cars in front of “Xuanjing” Tea House to show their extraordinary status.
Porsches and Land Rovers were not worth mentioning; there were even several McLarens and Lamborghinis, indicating the unusual status of the people here.
“Creak…creak…” Ye Tian rode his shared bicycle leisurely to the entrance of the tea house.
He used to love coming here to drink tea because the tea leaves were very expensive, but he didn’t have to pay for it himself.
Might as well come, what’s a man being sentimental about?
“Xuanjing Tea House, still the same as always.”
Ye Tian’s face showed an incongruous weariness for his age, sighing.
“Miss, could you please tell me where the nearest restroom is?”
“It’s urgent, very urgent!!”
Suddenly, a man rushed down from the tea house, clamping his legs together, his face pale, voice trembling as he asked.
It seemed he had been holding it in for quite some time, quite a determined person.
“Xuanjing” Tea House has an old rule, which is that no restrooms are allowed inside the tea house to preserve its elegance.
So people usually come here to drink tea, order a pot, and savor it slowly.
The waitress at the door smiled politely and pointed to a place, “Sir, there’s a public restroom one kilometer ahead. You can go there.”
The waitress was dressed in a classical white qipao with red flowers, highlighting her slender and exquisite figure, glowing face, fair skin with a touch of redness, delicate Yao nose under willow-like eyebrows, voluptuous lips, and a head of dark hair elegantly perched on her back, her noble demeanor clearly marking her as no ordinary woman.
Even the waitresses were meticulously selected and trained, no wonder the wealthy liked to come here.
The man’s face drastically changed, grumbling, “Seriously? The restroom is that far away? Unbelievable.”
“The tea is mediocre, fifty-eight yuan a cup, might as well be daylight robbery.”
After complaining, he hurriedly ran past Ye Tian without even glancing at him.
“Killing intent??” Ye Tian’s lips curved slightly, eyes following the departing man, “Probably a soldier returning from abroad, don’t know from which organization.”
As the man passed by Ye Tian, he clearly felt the hidden killing intent, not from just killing one or two, but perhaps from experiencing brutal warfare.
After the man left, the waitress looked down on him with disdainful laughter, “Such a country bumpkin!!”
Ye Tian stopped thinking about it and stepped first into the Xuanjing Tea House, a confident smile playing on his lips.
“Welcome.” The waitress gave a polite smile, slightly bowing, her eyes scanning Ye Tian from top to bottom.
She thought silently, “How could someone be this handsome?? Looks better than a celebrity.”
Although Ye Tian was wearing hemp clothes and cloth shoes, his transcendental aura could captivate countless sentimental girls, with limitless charm.
“Your hair.” Ye Tian gently smiled, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, his eyes, deep as the stars and ocean, gazing at her.
Smiling serenely, he then walked leisurely into the tea house.
The waitress was immediately mesmerized, this man was elegantly handsome, his charisma unparalleled, like a demoted immortal, as if stepping out from a painting.
Looking up, there was nothing, not even his disappearing back.
Ye Tian walked through the front door, not encountering any guests along the way, until he reached the farthest and most inconspicuous tea table, sitting down.
On it was a sign—number 27.
“Number 27, one pot of the finest West Lake Longjing.”
Ye Tian smiled slightly, raised his hand and called out to the tea-making lady.
“Okay, please wait a moment.” The tea-making lady glanced at Ye Tian, nodded, and then turned to the tea cabinet, taking out a small pinch of West Lake Longjing.
The efficiency of Xuanjing Tea House was extremely fast, a pot of fragrant West Lake Longjing was soon placed before Ye Tian.
“Sir, enjoy slowly.” The tea-making lady smiled and returned to her post.
“Wow~~~ One pot twelve hundred, such a luxurious life.” Ye Tian didn’t fuss much, following a one-look, two-smell, three-taste approach, the tea’s aroma permeated deeply.
The tea master had once said: The highest Realm of tea lies in simple actions, simple life, although there is much to learn about tea, in the act of drinking, it returns to a very simple and powerful style, transcending knowledge and learning.
In other words, the art of drinking tea is not fixed, it adapts to each person’s personality and preferences, using one’s appropriate method, which is the essence of tea.
But at this moment, a pair of slender white arms appeared in his sight.
Ye Tian looked up, a woman in a light blue collared waist dress, revealing her slender white arms, with a string of platinum necklace around her graceful neck, appearing gentle and quiet.
Beautiful, very beautiful.
This was Ye Tian’s assessment of this woman.
“Bang~~~”
A thick stack of papers was tossed in front of her, this woman looked at Ye Tian coolly for a moment, “Barely acceptable, take a look at these terms, sign if suitable.”
“Three minutes, I only give you three minutes to browse this contract.”
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, picked up the thick contract, flipping through it swiftly, taking a total of fifteen seconds.
The woman’s brows furrowed slightly, dissatisfied with Ye Tian’s behavior, it was too pretentious.
Even she would need several minutes to read this contract, yet this man took only fifteen seconds.
Does he think he’s Superman?!
In fact, given Ye Tian’s memory, it was impressive enough to take fifteen seconds, indicating it had many pages.
“Zhang Xinran??”
“Fake boyfriend clause one: Male party must not ask any questions. Clause two: Female party has the right to control all male party behaviors. Clause three: Male party must obtain consent for any intimate contact with female party. Clause four… Clause forty-nine…..”
“Clause fifty: Male party’s monthly salary is ten thousand, no meals provided, no commission, accommodation included!!”
Ye Tian blinked his eyes, feeling both amused and annoyed, “Miss Zhang Xinran, what kind of terms are these??”
Zhang Xinran’s face flushed, pretending to be strong, lifting her head, “What’s wrong?? If you don’t sign, forget it!!”
“Fine, I’ll sign.”
Ye Tian showed a gentle smile, picked up a pen, and signed his name as Ye Tian.
Zhang Xinran took the contract, glanced at it, and smiled, “Ye Tian?? Nice name, be here at five tomorrow, I’ll take you to the apartment.”
With that, she left right away, faintly saying, “The tea money is on me as a gift.”
