The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism Chapter 1294 - Monkey and Dog

Chapter 1294: Monkey and Dog

The Hiei family needed the clever, capable and reliable Boss Qian to be their Chinese agent to open the Chinese market up to them for greater profits.

Once Boss Qian collapsed, it would be difficult for them to find a second more suitable candidate in a short period of time. This would result in huge losses.

On the other hand, Boss Qian needed more high-end tea from the Hiei family to earn more money for himself. At the same time, he could use the Hiei family’s international standing to develop his business in Europe.

If the Hiei family were to lose the compet.i.tion, China would take the opportunity to rise. If they were to squeeze out j.a.pan from the high-end market, then his tea leaves business would be done for. In addition, with his reputation as a traitor, if anyone really wanted to mess with him, he would die a terrible death.

Hence, they were in it together. No matter how many schemes they had in mind, they were on the same side.

After three rounds of drinking, a tipsy Is.h.i.+ said, “Boss Qian, if we win the compet.i.tion this time, you deserve all the credit! If it weren’t for the fact that you got us the Seven-Inch Fragrance back then, we wouldn’t have been able to produce the better Hiei Premium Tea with it as foundation. This toast is for you!”

Boss Qian laughed out loud. “It’s only right. For the sake of money, it’s all right! I respect you as well as money, Mr. Is.h.i.+!”

Is.h.i.+ laughed as well. The two clinked gla.s.ses, and Boss Qian asked, “Mr. Is.h.i.+, I heard that someone received news that Hiei Premium Tea is a product of genetic modification. Is that true?”

Is.h.i.+ pursed his lips and said, “That’s just a smokescreen. It’s to confuse the Chinese and also plant a trap. If they fall for it and try to slander us internationally, we will bring out the evidence. It will deliver them a huge blow. In the future, if they want to badmouth us internationally, their words won’t be trusted.

“You should know what will happen if China tea leaves lose the European high-end market.

“You Chinese become greedy once you earn money. By skimping on quality, you gave us a chance.

“We will not follow your footsteps. Our Hiei Premium Tea isn’t genetically modified. Instead, we selectively nurtured generations of Seven-Inch Fragrance. At best, we used special breeding techniques. Of course, this technique is a secret that I can’t reveal, but it is definitely a green, harmless natural technique.

“We developed ourselves on the shoulders of China’s tea culture that spanned millennia. That’s how we grew quickly.

“To be precise, we beat China using Chinese technology.

“However, the world doesn’t think so. They only think that j.a.panese tea is better and Chinese tea isn’t up to mark.”

Boss Qian smacked his lips and said, “In this aspect, I really admire you. You can always take someone’s things and make it better. As for people here, humph… All of them only know how to rest on their laurels.”

Is.h.i.+ smiled and did not respond.

Perhaps, from his point of view, Boss Qian’s bootlicking wasn’t very good. Was China really resting on its laurels? If they were really doing so, they wouldn’t have forced the big shots in the j.a.panese tea industry to use underhanded means to maintain their current market status.

Only Is.h.i.+ and the j.a.panese tea industry understood how terrifying their opponents were!

After everyone dispersed, Fangzheng finally got his peace and quiet. He continued carving his Frost Bamboo.

However, Monkey looked like he wanted to say something but held back for a long time…

Finally, Fangzheng put down the bamboo piece in his hand and said, “Why aren’t you asking the question you have?”

Monkey said politely, “I was afraid of disturbing your bamboo carving.”

Fangzheng nodded slightly and said angrily, “Is this the reason why you are stepping on the bamboo and not giving it to me?”

Monkey: “It’s mainly because I don’t know how long you will be carving.”

Dong!

Fangzheng raised his hand and rapped Monkey on the head. “Either you wait or ask. What’s the use of feeling conflicted? Sometimes, things are done and not planned out. If you do it, there will naturally be results. If you just think without doing it, what kind of outcome will there be?”

When Monkey heard that, he hurriedly said, “Master, I just can’t figure it out. Are the Chinese really that weak? Thousands of years of skills were so easily surpa.s.sed…”

Fangzheng shook his head and said, “One of them is research and the other is plagiarism. One is building up a thousand-foot skysc.r.a.per from flat ground, while the other is pitching a tent on the rooftop before turning around to mock you for not being as tall as him. Do you understand?”

Monkey scratched his head and said, “I understand a little, but why are foreigners so friendly towards the j.a.panese? Why are they unfriendly towards the Chinese?”

Fangzheng thought for a moment and stroked his chin. “Go to the village. Sun Qiancheng’s family has bought a new golden retriever. It’s a cunning one. Go and touch his belly.”

Monkey did not understand what Fangzheng meant. However, he obediently went down the mountain.

After Monkey left, Fangzheng beckoned for Red Boy to come over. “Master, what’s up?”

Fangzheng said, “Follow Jingzhen. If he really gets bitten by the dog later, protect him. Hmm… Make sure he doesn’t get bitten. The rabies vaccine is rather expensive, and I don’t know if it’s suitable for monkeys.”

Red Boy: “…”

Monkey did not know what Fangzheng was up to. He followed Fangzheng’s instructions and went down the mountain to Sun Qiancheng’s house. He did not see Sun Qiancheng or Sun Mengmeng at the door, but he saw the golden retriever.

It lay on the ground, lazily basking in the sun. When it saw Monkey coming, it bared its teeth at Monkey, as though it was trying to scare him from coming over.

Although Monkey could understand the language of other animals, he was different from Fangzheng. He did not know how to speak!

Squirrel and company were able to understand the language of other animals, so they could communicate with him without any obstacles. However, the golden retriever and Monkey clearly had obstacles.

Monkey waved his hand. “Hey, don’t be agitated. I’m just here to touch your belly.”

The golden retriever didn’t know what he was saying. It got up and bared its teeth at Monkey as it issued a warning grunt.

Monkey was a little afraid, but on second thought, his skills weren’t bad either. It wasn’t a problem defeating a dog. More importantly, if he were to beat the dog for no reason, he would most likely be dealt with when he returned. The moment he thought of Fangzheng usage of Salted Fish as a sword becoming increasingly powerful, he felt a little afraid.

Taking a deep breath, Monkey pointed behind the dog. “Who is it?”

The silly dog subconsciously turned back. Monkey rushed over and rubbed its belly!

However, the golden retriever reacted quickly and turned around. It opened its mouth and bit!

Monkey quickly dodged and bitterly realized that he did not touch it.

Before Monkey could touch it again, the golden retriever barked loudly!

Monkey heard it clearly. The dog shouted: “You want to molest me? I’ll bite you to death, Monkey!”

At the same time, the golden retriever charged forward. It opened its mouth wide, its teeth extremely sharp…
