"Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"
Tang Mingyuan sighed helplessly, knowing that as long as one is alive, one cannot escape the entanglements of cause and effect.
Merely reciting a few poems, he caught the attention of Zhao Mu, who later sought him out for the Su family's business interests and, for his own comfortable retirement, used Zhao Mu's visiting card to obtain the privilege of offering tributes.
The privilege of offering tributes was managed by the Imperial Household Department, hence Tang Mingyuan found himself connected with Zhou Shilang from the Eastern Depot.
Zhou Shilang, with only the technique of ice-making at his disposal, sensed Tang Mingyuan's great talent and ordered the supervising eunuch to provide many conveniences for him.
The Eastern Depot was so powerful that the small amount it leaked was enough for the Su family to quickly become one of the richest merchants in Jiangning!
