The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

"But tell me, if their teahouse really has its own unique features, how come our play attracted their customers? Now they're coming here, clearly just to cause us trouble."

"Besides, you should know that we also added a storytelling element to our play yesterday. If their storyteller is good enough, how could they not keep their customers? Now he comes here to me and asks us to give him an explanation, but I really don't know what to explain. He even asked me to compensate them for their losses."

"But our two teahouses don't have any common interests, so how can you say that we influenced them? Miss Tong, you be the judge of this."

The man called Boss Li is the owner of the largest teahouse in town. Although the teahouse had attracted some customers because of the so-called songs and plays, his family was wealthy enough to support the teahouse and he was unwilling to deliberately cause trouble with his competitors.

But even after enduring and observing, the situation not only didn't improve, but got worse and worse. It wasn't until I saw the scene of my teahouse yesterday that I realized something was wrong. After asking around, I found out that this teahouse not only had the previous forms of entertainment.

Also, thanks to a person named Tong Qian, many new performance styles came up, and after the boss followed those methods, the teahouse did indeed become more and more popular, leading to more and more customers. Under such circumstances, his teahouse became a bustling place.

If my teahouse is so big, but it's just occupying space without a single customer, what's the difference between being open and not? Although I don't care about the money, I can't just say that we don't have any customers because of these things when my father asks.

He was so angry that he brought his men to this teahouse. Seeing the owner's silent demeanor only fueled his frustration, which led him to have their play stopped. He felt a strange sense of satisfaction watching the customers leave.

Hearing him address the suddenly appearing girl as Miss Tong with such respect, he instantly thought of the story that people had been talking about before, that it was because of Miss Tong's participation that a new form of performance appeared. Thinking this, he matched the person in the story with Tong Qian sitting next to him and carefully observed the young girl sitting in front of him.

Even after the boss said so much, there was no sign of panic in her expression. Even in this situation that seemed extremely unfavorable to her, there was no emotional fluctuation in her. She remained calm and composed.

Either she doesn't care about those things at all, or she doesn't know what happened yet, but no matter how I look at it, I feel it's more likely to be the former.

But thinking about it carefully, he could count on his fingers the number of well-known young ladies in town, none of whom had such abilities. So, whose family was this girl? Looking at her like this, he momentarily forgot why he had come here in the first place.

Hearing her boss say this, Tong Qian gave him a reassuring look, shook her head slightly, and signaled him to calm down first. She was sure she would have a good solution to these things.

Seeing that Mr. Li was also sizing him up, she smiled inwardly. Her guess would soon be confirmed. After a pause, she introduced herself to Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, I am Tong Qian, the one who is causing your teahouse to have fewer and fewer customers. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Please don't make things difficult for our boss."

Mr. Li was brought back to his senses by Tong Qian's words. Looking at her aloof expression, he calmed himself down and wondered why he had been daydreaming at this moment. He shook his head before speaking, "So you are the special and magical Miss Tong that people have been talking about. Seeing is believing. I truly believe that you are the magical girl they have been talking about."

Tong Qian heard him say "amazing" twice in a row, and she knew he wasn't being sincere, but she couldn't say anything more, so she just quietly looked at him.

Seeing that Tong Qian seemed not to understand what he was saying, Boss Li perked up, but still refused to believe that this young girl was really so cunning. "Miss Tong, actually, I came here today just to see what's so special about the play that has been so highly praised. It's not like what you said, that I came here on purpose to cause trouble. Don't believe everything you hear."

As she said this, she glanced at the restless boss beside her and sneered inwardly. She stared directly at Tong Qian without any attempt to hide her feelings.

Hearing what Boss Li said and seeing his obviously probing expression, Tong Qian naturally knew the truth of the matter. It wasn't what he said. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been deceived by his sincere expression, but Tong Qian has always been different.

Looking closely, one could see that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, which was just a way of refusing to talk about the matter. Thinking this, he turned to look at the boss sitting next to him and saw the slightly angry look on his face. He shook his head slightly, wanting to make him understand that he could handle this tricky matter that was difficult for him.

Seeing that the boss's expression had calmed down, he said to Mr. Li in a calm tone, "Mr. Li, since you have already said so, then I might as well ask one more question. Since you came to see the play, how could you bear to let so many guests leave so awkwardly, and even affect the normal performance of the play?"

"No guests, no play, so what exactly do you want to see? Is it our boss? But our boss can't tell stories or sing plays, so perhaps..."

As she said this, she naturally noticed his gloomy face, but she didn't care what he was thinking and continued to ask, "Playing a play relies on an atmosphere, but it's inevitable that it will be a bit lonely for you to watch it alone. If I'm not mistaken, you've probably come here to interrogate me."
