302- Some People Are Happy, Some Are Worried (有人欢喜有人愁)
The surrounding people all looked over when they heard the deputy mayor talking about the rumours spreading online.
“I thank you all for your concern, but everything’s alright.” Jing Yun Zhao answered while smiling.
Seeing how Jing Yun Zhao dealt with so many high ranking people calmly without a hint of nervousness, Chu Rong felt as if she wasted her life. Jing Yun Zhao was younger than her by at least a decade, yet she could maintain her calm better than Chu Rong. With only a simple sentence from Jing Yun Zhao, she was able to resolve the doubts of the onlookers without revealing too much.
The people present were all sly old foxes who weren’t truly concerned about Jing Yun Zhao’s well-being as their words of concern were only out of politeness. If Jing Yun Zhao were to actually tell them about her recent struggles, it would only cause the atmosphere to turn awkward.
After all, with such a large age gap between Jing Yun Zhao and these old foxes, if they were to listen to Jing Yun Zhao prattle on endlessly, how could they have a good impression of her?
And so, with Jing Yun Zhao’s simple explanation, she responded to their concern and saved everybody’s time while also giving off a strong impression to the crowd.
Chu Rong couldn’t help but give Jing Yun Zhao a thumbs up in her heart.
No wonder Bai Yu An would complete every task given by Jing Yun Zhao seriously, and when Jing Yun Zhao was mentioned in a conversation, he would praise her to no end. The aura exuded by Jing Yun Zhao now was enough for Chu Rong to believe.
Jing Yun Zhao showing up today was to maintain her relationship with all these influential people, and without saying much more, she went and sat beside Old Man Tang.
Meanwhile, the others finally relaxed and started to appreciate the peace and quiet while drinking tea, conversing softly with each other.
“Grandpa Tang, I never expected you to come here personally, I’m flattered.” Jing Yun Zhao said with a smile while she personally brewed tea for him.
Old Man Tang licked his lips before replying, “I haven’t seen you recently, and the feng shui in Hua Ning County could nourish a person’s health. Obviously an old man like me came here to live a little longer…”
Jing Yun Zhao pursed her lips as she nodded her head.
Old Man Tang’s eyes flashed as he drank tea to hide his guilty conscience.
When the incident involving the He Family happened previously, he couldn’t help as his situation was as if he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. At the same time he was scared that his relationship with Jing Yun Zhao would be estranged due to the incident, so when he heard that she wanted to send a few packs of tea for him to taste, he instantly went there personally.
Smart people could understand the hidden implication behind someone’s actions, and with his old age, his face would be lost if he were to apologize verbally to a little girl. So with him coming to Jing Yun Zhao’s tea house, she should be able to discern his true intentions.
Naturally, Jing Yun Zhao understood and wouldn’t blame him, after all how could one blame the Tang Family when the incident was caused by the He Family.
Due to her understanding, the atmosphere was harmonious.
While the Yu Ling Tea Pavilion was very lively, the people in the “First Tea Pavilion” across the street were gritting their teeth.
The family of three from the Jiang Family was there watching multiple cars stop in front of the newly opened tea pavilion. As they continued watching, they saw that the amount of flower baskets the Yu Ling Tea Pavilion received was enough to form a long line; it was enough to make them rage to the point of wanting to go over there and smash their store plaque.
The Jiang Family’s tea pavilion had an advantage as it was the only tea pavilion in the surroundings originally. Tea lovers from all over would flock over to their tea pavilion for a drink, but ever since the Heartbreak Grass incident, the tea pavilion was completely deserted and not a single soul could be seen inside even though it’s open for business.
“The tea from this place almost killed someone!”
Who dared to visit their tea pavilion after hearing rumours like that?!
Even though they personally called and explained the matter to their long-time customers, they didn’t care at all!
Their business was already in the dumps, but now someone even dared to slap his face by opening a tea pavilion!
“Father, who opened that tea pavilion? Why are there so many chauffeurs? Also the people who’ve gone in haven’t come out after such a long time, there wouldn’t be anything shady going on in there right?” Jiang Xia, who was also paying close attention, asked.
Ever since Qiao Hong Ye disappeared, Jiang Xia was lost and hurt for a few days. However, after a short while of self-comfort, the wounds on his heart were completely healed and his mindset was back to normal.
