From a freeloader to a world leader

When the lunch rush was approaching, Sun Shan, wearing a scholar's blue shirt and holding a paper fan in his hand, slowly walked to the center of the stage at the southern end of the first floor hall.

This immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.

Sun Shan first smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and performed a scholar's salute to the guests in the audience and in the corridor of the second-floor boxes.

Now, everyone knew that Jun would come to the restaurant again today and there might be an event, so they all stretched their necks, waiting for Sun Shan to speak.

"Good afternoon, dear old and new friends!"

Sun Shan first asked, and then continued with an excited look: "I am Sun Shan, and I am here again on behalf of you. First of all, I would like to thank all new and old friends for coming to the restaurant. I wish you all a pleasant meal, prosperity, smooth sailing, and all your wishes come true!"

At this time, the originally bustling scene in the restaurant, where as many as two or three hundred people were dining or waiting to dine, suddenly became quiet.

In the box on the second floor, Wang Lingzhi, who was sitting restlessly, slipped out upon hearing the sound.

She stood just above the stage and saw the scholar, who she had confirmed was Sun Shan, speaking enthusiastically. At this moment, he raised his head and looked towards her.

It seemed like he smiled in a special way.

This made her heart start beating again.

She had never seen such an outstanding and beautiful young man, compared to her own old man who was almost sixty years old and more than ten years older than her father.

Suddenly, she felt her life was so bleak.

That’s right. There are so many women in the Luo family’s backyard, and there are eight concubines alone.

Less than half a year after she married into the Luo family, that old man married a vixen who was younger than her.

In addition, there were dozens of maids in the yard, each of them was scheming and playing tricks on others, which made Wang Lingzhi particularly difficult to cope with.

Especially that old woman who was almost twice as old as his mother. She always found fault with him and looked down on him.

And that old man, two or three months before I got married, often came to my room to be intimate with me and protect me.

Now, the novelty has worn off.

It only comes two or three times a month, and when it comes, he only lies on me for two or three minutes at most.

Often, before I could even start to react, I would kick myself aside tremblingly.

Oh, how can I get through these days?

But the people at home, especially my father, kept asking me to say good things for them and ask for some benefits.

But how could he know his own suffering and difficulties? He was already so miserable that he couldn't sleep at night, had to live by counting on his fingers, and had to worry about that old woman kicking him out of the house.

If my father were to marry me to such a handsome young man, even if he was a poor scholar and even if he had to eat porridge every day.

I am willing to do it.

Sun Shan didn't know that the beautiful girl who was very close to him on the second floor, who looked very delicate but was looking at him with a resentful look and a complicated expression.

Why is it that when this other beautiful woman who looks 70% similar to me looks at me, she seems to be filled with resentment, hatred, joy and anger?

Could it be that I have bullied them?

Or, did I have some kind of bad fate with them?

As Sun Shan was speaking, he quickly recalled his life. It seemed that he was still a virgin and had never even touched the hand of a beautiful woman.

So, why did she and the two delicate beauties beside her, who looked like mother and daughter as well as sisters, feel annoyed, angry, happy and furious with herself?

Could it be that they are lonely, or that they have taken a fancy to me?

Thinking of this, Sun Shan curled his lips and smiled wickedly.

This laughter made Wang Lingzhi and Xie Meiyu, who was hugging her tightly, feel their hearts hit again.

"Let me introduce myself first. Then, I will perform a unique event for you every day in this restaurant. I guarantee that it will live up to your expectations."

After saying this, Sun Shan casually fanned the fan in his hand and changed his tone to a sad one: "My surname is Sun Shan, and I was originally a scholar, but my family was poor and I had to struggle to make a living since I was young."

"This year, I took the college entrance examination in the toilet and was caught in the cold rain. I almost died, but I was lucky to be ranked last among the scholars."

At this point, Sun Shan raised the corners of his mouth and gave a wry smile that showed he was trying to be motivated: "When God bestows a great responsibility on a man, the ancients said that he should make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and his body empty."

As he spoke, Sun Shan became excited. He picked up the small wooden stick next to the drum set and started beating it in a very cool manner.

Suddenly, a series of drum beats as dense as waves, as Sun Shan's arms danced vigorously, like thousands of horses, trampling through this world.

Everyone had never heard such an exciting, heart-pounding rhythm before. They could only feel their hearts beating along with the strong drum beats.

Sun Shan felt his blood boiling with the beat. The secretion of adrenaline made the drum music, which was not very smooth to begin with, become like waves, with waves of noise in the music.

Finally, he raised the wooden sticks in both hands, twirled his fingers a few times gracefully, and then struck the cymbals made of gong.

"Cymbals!"

Sun Shan responded with a loud roar: "A man should be strong and sweep away the snow of the eternal years. Don't wait until your hair turns white and then feel sad for nothing!"

Then, the singing voice cuts into the drums and sings loudly:

I am proud and laugh at the waves. My blood is hotter than the sun. My courage is like iron and my bones are like steel. My mind is as broad as a thousand miles and my vision is as far as a thousand miles. I swear to be self-reliant and be a good man.

To be a good man, you must be strong every day. A passionate man is hotter than the sun.

Let the sea and sky gather energy for me to open up the world and expand the land for my ideals (see the majestic blue waves) and see the vast blue sky with high spirits. As a man, you should be self-reliant.

At this moment, all the audience in Jun Youlai Restaurant were stunned.

Not only all the customers who came to eat, but also all the waiters and the Zhang family father and son, opened their mouths in stupidity when they heard the sound, and looked at Sun Shan who was sitting next to the drum set, swaying his body to the beat of the music, beating the drum and singing loudly.

I feel like this is a madman, a psychopath!

How could he be like this?

How can there be such people in this world? How can there be such songs and music?

The powerful drum beats and high-pitched singing voices stimulated the people in the audience so much that they felt like they were going crazy, as if they were in a carnival dream that they could not believe but did not want to wake up from.

His excited, focused and heroic singing, his ponytail swinging to the rhythm, and his singing that seemed to penetrate the sky and the soul.

Hundreds of people in the restaurant trembled all over after hearing this.

Moreover, from outside the restaurant, people came in one after another like a tide, following the noise.

Sun Shan was so engrossed in the song that he didn't even know how many times he had sung it. It was not until his head cleared up that he ended with a quick beat of drums.

Then, Sun Shan stood up and walked from the drum set to the center of the stage.

He pushed hard with his feet and flew into the air with extreme lightness. He did two somersaults of 720 degrees in the air and landed on the ground lightly and steadily.

Then he bowed to everyone in the packed restaurant hall.

When he finished bowing and stood up, he found that hundreds of people in the restaurant were still staring at him, as if they were possessed, without any reaction.

Some people even have their eyes wide open, as if they are in a trance, and they don't even realize that their saliva is flowing out.

Now, Sun Shan was a little confused.

Did I succeed in my performance or did I screw up?

Could it be that the people in this world simply cannot accept such a passionate performance, or that they are unable to react for a while?

Thinking of this, Sun Shan clasped his hands and smiled with some effort: "Dear old and new friends, I am Sun Shan, sorry to have embarrassed you all!"

At this time, Zhang Yuliang finally came to his senses first. Following Sun Shan's previous arrangement, he was the first to applaud, and shouted hoarsely with excitement: "Great! That's great!"

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

Now, the entire restaurant, which had been so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, suddenly began to boil like a pond.

Everyone followed suit and clapped and cheered along with the arranged guys.

This is the first time that the world has expressed excitement and praise through applause.

From then on, it was quickly accepted and promoted throughout the Sui Empire and spread to every corner of the world.
