Fire Phoenix Chapter 46

   Chapter 46 Mister Zi Zhu

Yushi Restaurant was known for their fresh, delicate dishes; it was unmatched in all the Can City.

Today, the most luxurious, expensive private rooms on the third floor of Yushi Restaurant were all reserved for a generous man, and although the second floor was bustling with activity, the third floor remained elegantly quiet.

Feng Gui wore white, and a jasper hairpin held his carefully coiled waist-length, black hair. His handsome face was pensive.

"Master, Mister Zi Zhu of the Fengyun Firm has arrived." Anu rushed to tell his master respectfully. Feng Gui rose from his seat to greet his guest at the door.

The door to the private room opened from outside, and in walked a handsome man dressed in gold, attended by three servant girls with extraordinary features.

All the emperors of the seven kingdoms had to bow to Mister Zi Zhu, and looking at this teenage looking man, standing there, no one would have guessed he was, in fact, the owner of the Fengyun Firm.

Feng Gui hurried forward, "How are you Mister Zi Zhu?"

Zi Zhu's eyes shown an arrogance that contradicted his faint smile which gave him the appearance of being relaxed and approachable.

"Fine, thank you for asking, Mister Feng Gui."

"Now that you're in Can City, would you mind if I call you Zi Zhu?" Feng Gui took his hand, guiding Zi Zhu to the seat of honor, and Yun Xiang took his place without ceremony.

The world only knew him as Mister Zi Zhu, but his real name was Yun Xiang.

The three servant girls scurried to replace Yun Xiang's seat with a soft couch and then set about substituting all the ordinary utensils on the table for bright golden ones.

Feng Gui felt slightly embarrassed for a moment, but it soon passed, after all, Yun Xiang was much wealthier than him.

A delicate fragrance filled the room when Feng Gui picked up the teapot and poured hot water into the pot.

As soon as he caught the scent, Yun Xiang recognized the tea as his favorite, Lotus Fragrance, and his dull eyes lit up, "Good." He exclaimed happily.

While not the most expensive tea of the seven countries, this famous tea would give off a fragrance of lotus when it mixed water, so it earned the name Lotus Fragrance. The lotus scent was very much like his mistress' body scent, so Yun Xiang fell in love with the tea involuntarily.

Feng Gui had gone out of his way to choose a tea that Xun Xiang preferred, and he was taking care in the preparation, to please Xun Xiang.

Feng Gui was overjoyed, "Oh, Zi Zhu, you know teas very well! You can tell so much from the aroma." He then picked up a cup and passed it to Yun Xiang, "Here, have a try, Zi Zhu."

Without hesitating, Yun Xiang took the teacup bringing it to his nose to breath the aroma deeply before slowly sipping the contents. His mouth filled instantly with an imperceptibly sweet pungent taste.

"I didn't expect you to be a master temaker, Feng Gui."

"Thank you, Zi Zhu, for such high praise. However, for mastery, my wife is the artisan temaker. Her method is strange, but the tea's aroma is all carried throughout the house and another 5 kilometers."

Yun Xiang narrowed his eyes, "Really? Your wife is virtuous and you're a very lucky man."

Feng Gui felt a little proud, and with a gentle gleam in his eyes, "He-he, I am really lucky to have found and married Yun'er."

Yun Xiang placed his teacup on the saucer. The others in the room could not see his face as he looked down before commenting, "I heard you married a concubine who is about to have your baby though."

There was a crack.

The teacup in Feng Gui's hand fell to the ground, and his eyes flickered with panic. 'How does Mister Zi Zhu know this when he has just arrived in Can city. No one in Can City knows except my parents and housekeeper. He is extraordinary.' Feng Gui thought to himself.

Yun Xiang appeared shocked as he asked, "Feng Gui, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?"

Feng Gui quickly regained himself and motioned for Anu to clean up the broken teacup, "It's such a long story, boring story. Enough talk about me, Zi Zhu, tell me, are you here on business or pleasure? If there's anything I can do to help, please, just let me know."

Yun Xiang gave him a thin smile, "Oh, I'm just here to pick someone up."

"Oh, who could it be, to have you pick him up in person? It must be someone you take seriously."

The arrogance in Yun Xiang's eyes inadvertently slipped away, and vague hints of admiration and tenderness emerged, "Yes. My boss is really a very important person to me."

Feng Gui paused and was silent for a long time before he looked up at Yun Xiang strangely, "Your... Your boss?"

'Has the world gone mad? The owner of the Fengyun Firm, who runs half the world's economy isn't someone calling himself Mister Zi Zhu, but, who is he? Who can command Mister Zi Zhu, one of the Nine Prominent Figures of the world, and secretly control the Fengyun Firm? How powerful he is! Mister Zi Zhu looks down with disdain on all the emperors across the seven countries. I wonder if this boss looks down on these emperors in a condescending manner as well?'

Yun Xiang watched Feng Gui through veiled eyes finding the situation humorous, "Well, you must have believed that the Fengyun Firm is mine. Hha, how could I start a company from scratch and spread it over seven countries in two continents in only a few years? Only people like my boss could do that."

Feng Gui raised his tea to drink, but he was so shocked that his hands were trembling. The owner of the Fengyun Firm, a formidable obstacle on the two continents, was a completely different person. Was it an inconvenience for him to appear, or did this unknown person have another agenda? Feng Gui wasn't sure, but he did wonder it. The real owner of the firm might be a royal. It made sense that a royal would possess the abilities.

Yun Xiang studied Feng Gui with a haughty cynicism from time to time but otherwise seemed to be casually enjoying his tea.

Yun Xiang smiled, his face innocent while his eyes sparkled with cunning, "Does this surprise you, Feng Gui? Haha, anyone would be surprised. Fortunately, my boss has decided to come back, or I dare not tell you."

Feng Gui reeled at the news, "Your boss is going to run the Fengyun Firm personally?"

Yun Xiang waved the cup in his hand and answering half-heartedly, "Not really, my boss always maintained a low profile and then was married a few years ago, but her husband and his family maltreat her. Consequently, she wants to return."

"Your boss is a woman, Zi Zhu?" Feng Gui's eyes widened completely this time. A woman who could build such an empire, she would be legendary!

"Haha, she's not just any woman, there are none more beautiful than she."

Feng Gui smiled awkwardly, "It seems that she is indeed a rarity in the world."

Feng Gui had taken the bait. Yun Xiang triumphantly confided, "Of course she is. Alas, that man doesn't see her value, and he gave up the pearl in his hand and clung to a clod. I swear, that man must be blind, or he hit his head on a door, don't you agree?"

Feng Gui believed Yun Xiang was only complaining about the injustice that his Mistress had suffered, so he quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, you can hardly find such a woman!"

"He'll cry when Mistress divorces him. I'll be kind and give him a graveyard to cry in."

"Yeah, he would have no place to cry. He really has poor taste."

"Mistress forbid me to hurt him, or else I would confiscate his property, and make his muddle-headed parents beg in the street."

"Yeah, they should have been kind to her."

"Besides, that bastard man married a concubine. I should send his concubine to a brothel. No, to a barracks as a military prostitute, and let them torture her to death!"

"Yes, torture her to death!"

"And there is a bastard of his concubine. Send him to be a hustler and cultivate his hustler consciousness from childhood."

"Eh..?."

'That sounded a little too vicious.'
