Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 125 The Four Young Masters of Beijing!
In the following days, the publicity schedule for the "Dwelling Narrowness" drama series was finalized.

The executive broker, Xiao Ma, had already set off two days in advance to coordinate preliminary matters and confirm resources.

Lin Xingzhuo and his agent Zhang Youqian took the K101 train from Beijing Railway Station to Lin'an East Station.

Along the way, I bought two Xianghe meat pies at the Langfang North Station platform.

In his previous life, Lin Xingzhuo had watched the NHK documentary "Tomohiro Sekiguchi's Great Journey Along China's Railways," which mentioned Xianghe meat pie.

Unfortunately, I was always stuck with paperwork and never got to eat there in my entire life...

I finally got to eat it! The dough is thin and chewy, and the filling is plump and juicy—it's really delicious!!
…………

After arriving at the station, Lin Xingzhuo quickly contacted Cao Dun.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Cao Dun, the executive director of "Dwelling Narrowness," drove a Ford Transit and took the two of them directly to the Lion Garden Teahouse in Lin'an.

This teahouse was founded during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of over two hundred years. It is one of the oldest teahouses in Hangzhou.

When Cao Dun parked the car, Lin Xingzhuo and Zhang Youqian entered the lobby first. At first glance, it was an elegantly furnished gathering place for literati, mainly in the style of a Jiangnan garden.

........................

Shiyuan Teahouse, Waitongwu, Zhuantang Subdistrict, Xihu District.

After Cao Dun parked the car, he led Lin Xingzhuo and Zhang Youqian through the courtyard and into the lotus pond in the backyard of the Lion Garden Teahouse.

There is a pavilion next to the pond, which is furnished with a complete tea set and seats.

Inside the pavilion stood a girl dressed in a plain white ramie shirt with Chinese knot buttons, her hair styled with a jade hairpin, and a string of sandalwood beads on her wrist that shone with a warm glow.

As the young woman gently lifted the lid of the white porcelain bowl, the delicate fragrance of Longjing tea buds wafted through the bamboo curtain, and the water droplets flowed into the bowl like silver ribbons.

The tea leaves swirl like emerald feathers, the tea soup gradually becomes clear and bright like spring water, and the steam carries a wisp of orchid fragrance.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo asked, "What is this?"

Cao Dun said with a smile, "Just as there were boat girls on West Lake in ancient times, there are tea girls at Longjing today. It's the same kind of romantic tale!"

The girl in front of him was very pretty, and her skillful and professional tea ceremony techniques made Lin Xingzhu a little uncertain. What if...?
Lin Xingzhuo noticed this girl
He asked, "This...I'm afraid it's different from the boat girls on West Lake."

Cao Dun explained, "This shop is twice as expensive as other tea shops in Lin'an!"

"It's because they are all students majoring in tea art and tea culture from Lin'an Art School, as well as students from tea art clubs from other schools!"

"Brother Zhuo, don't worry about these things. There are more and more of these fancy things these days, like ballet, yoga, camellia, running, basketball, riding motorcycles, playing frisbee, and even intoxicatingly fragrant Buddhist prayers..."

"This is enough to see through the phenomena to the essence."

"When I see a bird that walks like a chicken, has a breast like a chicken, and makes a call like a chicken, I call it a chicken!"

Lin Xingzhuo gradually figured out the trick.

This senior tea master had a very low neckline, lowered eyes and eyebrows, and a slightly dreamy look. With a few subtle movements of her wrists, her body swayed, her legs were crossed, and her pants were slit all the way to the top of her thighs.

The swaying body, the dreamy eyes, the youthful face, the electrifying voice, and the student ID and campus card carelessly left next to the bamboo storage box for the Six Gentlemen of Tea Ceremony...

…………

Lin Xingzhuo picked up a white porcelain covered bowl, took a sip of hot tea, and looked at the tea lady in front of him.

In my past life, when I was in my early twenties, I noticed that very few of my classmates and friends were good-looking.

When you're in your forties or fifties, look at those college students again, and they'll all be quite good-looking.

Some were fair-skinned, some were plump, some were tall, some had big eyes, and some had good skin. There were almost none who were ugly.

One cannot simultaneously possess youth and the feeling of youth...

Lin Xingzhuo was lucky after her rebirth.

Having possessed the souls of two lifetimes, along with the youthful sensitivity and a young, vibrant body, she was blessed with both.

…………

Looking at the girl in front of her, Zhang Youqian finally understood why boys couldn't tell the difference between a "green tea" girl and a manipulative woman.

From a guy's perspective, this doesn't look like tea at all.
This is my absolute favorite!!

This must have captivated countless people with virtues like "great virtue carries all things," "heaven rewards diligence," "tranquility leads to far-reaching goals," "a gentleman is open and honest," "silence is golden," "hardware and building materials," "contentment brings happiness," "flowers bloom and wealth abounds," "instant success," "the highest good is like water," "a bright future," "a boundless future," "life is like tea," and "civil engineering"...

…………

Lin Xingzhuo, Zhang Youqian, and Cao Dun sipped hot tea and ate small peach shortbread, Wushan shortbread, and lotus-shaped pastries on the table, waiting for more than half an hour. Finally, the person Cao Dun had arranged to make the connection appeared in the courtyard.

This is a slightly greasy man wearing a classic business gentleman's high-end custom-made suit.

Without Cao Dun's introduction, Lin Xingzhuo and Zhang Youqian recognized the person who came.

Wang Ke, one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing.

While filming the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness", Lin Xingzhuo added Wen Zhang's wife on QQ.

…………

The Four Young Masters of Beijing.

Wang, woof woof, Wang.

Last year was the year when the "Four Young Masters of Beijing" reached the peak of their influence in the entertainment industry, but with the impact of the financial crisis, it was also the year when their glory turned to decline.

Wang Ke experienced a year of great ups and downs.

In January 2008, Wang Ke and Liu Tao got married in a flash and spent 14 million yuan on a wedding, which was attended by more than 300 celebrities.

They even claimed to have a package deal for all the luxury cars available for rent or borrowing in Beijing!
The event featured 166 luxury cars, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley, Ferrari F430, and Lamborghini LP640, creating a super luxury car lineup!

The media called it the "wedding of the century"!!!
…………

Cao Dun stood up and introduced, "President Wang, this is Lin Xingzhuo, whom I mentioned to you last time."

Wang Ke immediately sat down in the main seat facing the lotus pond, making a grand entrance with the scenery as a backdrop. He took a sip of tea, waved his hand, and said:

"Xiao Lin, please sit down and have some tea."

Lin Xingzhuo sat down and said, "Okay."

Cao Dun sat down at the other guest seat and said, "President Wang, please try this Xinchang Dafu Longjing tea from the Yuezhou production area, it's first-grade pre-rain tea!"

"Speaking of which, the fact that 'Dwelling Narrowness' was able to pass censorship this time is all thanks to Brother Zhuo's efforts..."

Wang Ke put down his teacup, spat out a mouthful of tea dregs, and said, "Old Cao! I've told you many times, don't use just any old, rotten leaves to brew tea."

"I only drink Longjing tea from the five traditional mountain regions: Lion, Dragon, Cloud, Tiger, and Plum..."

Lin Xingzhu folded the tea towel into a triangle, wiped the water stains at the bottom of the cup, and said, "Longjing tea from the five core production areas is certainly good."

"However, the main production area of ​​Dafu Longjing tea is located in Tianmu Mountain and Wanghaigang, which are at an altitude of over 400 meters in Xinchang. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and the soil is mainly weathered basalt soil rich in minerals."

"The five hills around West Lake are low hills, with Lion Peak having the highest elevation of only 200 meters, and they are also affected by the urban heat island effect."

Wang Ke said, "So what?"

Lin Xingzhuo asked the tea maid to pour him another cup and said:

"The high-altitude environment slows down the growth of tea trees, allowing them to accumulate more theanine and aromatic substances, resulting in a richer, more lasting, and slightly orchid-scented high-altitude aroma."

Cao Dun was chewing on a fluffy and crispy Wushan shortbread when he heard this, and immediately chimed in, "I see! I could feel that rich and tender aroma when I was drinking it just now!"

Zhang Youqian asked in a low voice, "President Lin, you know about this?"

Lin Xingzhuo pressed his lips to Zhang Youqian's ear and whispered, "I was just talking nonsense..."

Zhang Youqian's ears turned bright red from Lin Xingzhuo's breath, and she lowered her head to take small bites of the lotus flower pastry.

…………

In fact, Lin Xingzhuo wasn't just making things up.

In his past life, he sat on the sidelines in an office, where he was responsible for reviewing obscure documentaries.

The review reports I wrote back then for "Tea's World" and "Tea, the Story of a Leaf" have finally come in handy and successfully made me look good!

…………

Wang Ke lost out in the tea debate and felt extremely embarrassed.

He roughly pulled the tea girl into his arms and said, "Stop with the nonsense and get down to business!"

"This year, Xu Songlin gave me two cans of Tiger Spring First-Fruit Pre-Qingming Tea..."

Upon hearing the name, Cao Dun paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "Xu Songlin?!"
