"Hu Xiaobei really isn't someone to be trifled with in the future!"

In the private room, Wang An looked at Hu Xiaobei's departing figure very seriously for quite a while, then squinted his eyes!

For many years, Wang An had been at Sun Fuan's side, which had allowed him to see all kinds of people.

It was for this reason that Wang An had his own set of standards, and thus he concluded based on his judgment that Hu Xiaobei was truly extraordinary...

The future was boundless...

"Indeed, if he were just an ordinary person, Governor Sun wouldn't have had me come here personally!"

As he thought this, Wang An's eyes suddenly brightened because, in that instant, he smelled an indescribable fragrance.

The moment he caught the scent, he subconsciously swallowed...

"How fragrant!"

While genuinely exclaiming his admiration, Wang An quickly raised his head to look at Hu Xiaobei, just in time to see the absolutely verdant tea buds that Hu Xiaobei had poured out!

"This... this tea..."

...

Hearing Wang An's shocked voice, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to look at him!

Seeing his utterly shocked expression, Hu Xiaobei spoke softly, "Secretary Wang, this tea was grown by me personally at a place beside the mountains; the taste is quite good. You should really savor it!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, he looked again at the green tea buds and said, "This... this tea was really grown by yourself?"

When he had smelled that scent earlier, he felt very refreshed, and in his view, it was certainly premium tea, so he assumed Hu Xiaobei had bought it at a high price...

Now that he knew it was grown by Hu Xiaobei himself, naturally, he was profoundly shocked.

"Yes! I have a large tea plantation near Xiaohe Village. I grow quite a lot there."

As Hu Xiaobei explained with a smile, he gently clapped his hands.

Quickly, the clacking of wooden clogs against the floor came rushing in...

Hearing this 'clack clack', Wang An subconsciously looked outside the private room.

At that moment, Wang An's eyes showed a hint of surprise, for after turning his head, he saw a tall woman dressed in a Japanese-style kimono kneeling at the door.

"Who is this?"

While he was thinking this, he heard her respectfully say, "Master!"

"Master? Could it be..."

While Wang An was shocked, Hu Xiaobei gently nodded, "Yes! Serve tea to Secretary Wang."

"Yes!"

After quickly agreeing, Shinjima Hanako slowly walked in...

When Shinjima Hanako heard Hu Xiaobei's order and walked into the private room with great deference, Jin Chi, standing outside, stared with his eyes wide open in astonishment!

Just now, Jin Chi had been pondering how he would plead for his brother later!

But at this moment, after hearing footsteps and turning his head, he was dumbfounded. He saw a Japanese woman dressed in a traditional kimono appear very quickly...

Seeing the Japanese beauty appear, his face was full of astonishment. Just about to say something, he saw the absolutely perfect woman kneel very respectfully at the entrance to the private room, even respectfully calling out 'Master'!

Then, he saw her walk in after Hu Xiaobei spoke...

...

"Who would have thought, Hu Xiaobei actually has such a perfect maid! In the future, I really mustn't offend him at all costs; otherwise, one might really not know how they died."

After murmuring such a horrifying thought, Jin Chi looked into the distance.

Jin Chi had done some research before and knew that maids were a unique feature of Japan!

They were quite difficult to train, and therefore very expensive.

A perfect maid like Shinjima Hanako was simply priceless...

The fact that Hu Xiaobei had one spoke volumes about his status being far more terrifying than Jin Chi had ever imagined...

Upon realizing this, Jin Chi couldn't help but curse his brother Jin Ya viciously again!

...

While he was doing so, Shinjima Hanako had already naturally approached the brand-new tea set.

At this moment, Wang An had come back to his senses from the shock...

"Xiaobei Brother, this..."

Hearing Wang An's surprised question, Hu Xiaobei laughed lightly, "Secretary Wang, this is my servant, named Shinjima Hanako. She's from Japan and has been trained since her childhood. Her tea ceremony skills are quite remarkable."

"Oh! I see!"

Realizing this after Hu Xiaobei's explanation, Wang An had an epiphany!

He couldn't help but give Shinjima Hanako a closer look.

Following this, his respect for Hu Xiaobei grew even more...

Because he knew that a perfect woman like Shinjima Hanako would not easily serve as anyone else's servant.

Her willing service to Hu Xiaobei truly demonstrated that Hu Xiaobei had some extraordinary qualities.

After the shock, he watched Shinjima Hanako perform the tea ceremony, and in an instant, he was deeply amazed because he could tell that her skill level was indeed high...

...

Previously, because of his fondness for tea, Wang An had systematically learned how to brew tea.

Gradually, as he became more skilled, he gained some reputation in his own circle!

This gradually acquired fame made him feel as if he was really great, almost good enough to compete with the true masters.

But now, seeing the level of Shinjima Hanako's skill, Wang An realized he had been really narrow-minded before...

Compared to her, his own level was far too inferior; no, he didn't even qualify to compare!

Seeing Wang An's astounded expression, Hu Xiaobei smiled...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Secretary Wang, when you leave later, I'll give you some tea leaves. If you run out and want more, you're always welcome to come to Xiaohe Village to find me. Also, the natural environment in our Xiaohe Village is quite nice; you can also come for a visit."

"Sure! When I have time, I will definitely go and take a good look."

Wang An responded seriously to Hu Xiaobei's words...

Before coming here, Wang An already knew of Xiaohe Village. But he hadn't looked into it very thoroughly. Now, he knew he must understand it in detail, because it really seemed quite wonderful...

Hearing Wang An speak so excitedly, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Alright! Then it's settled!"

"It's settled!"

After reaching this agreement, Hu Xiaobei glanced over at Shinjima Hanako and saw that she had finished brewing the tea, and he quickly said, "Alright, Secretary Wang, the tea is ready, let's drink."

"Okay!"

After agreeing readily, Wang An picked up the teacup and looked at the light green color of the tea in it.

Just by looking at it, Wang An felt an exhilarating pleasure!

"This must taste amazing!"

With heartfelt admiration, Wang An quickly took a sip under Hu Xiaobei's watchful eye...

After tasting it, Wang An's face lit up with excitement...

He wanted to cry!

At this moment, Wang An truly wanted to cry!

Because he had never tasted such perfect tea before...

Taking a deep breath, he drank it all in one gulp...

At that moment, he even felt like wanting to eat the teacup as well...

Sitting opposite him, Hu Xiaobei watched his excited expression and laughed softly...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand, and upon noticing, Shinjima Hanako respectfully left the room.

After Shinjima Hanako had closed the door behind her, Hu Xiaobei looked at Wang An and said with a smile, "Secretary Wang, how do you find the taste of my tea?"
