Zhou Shuren put down the fishing rod in his hand; he didn't think Wong Ju was a busybody. In fact, Wong Ju was the last person to meddle in others' affairs.
Leaning back in his chair, Wong Ju said, "Mr. Zhou, it really isn't that I'm paying too much attention. It's just that people keep mentioning Young Master Shen to me, always hoping I could introduce him to you!"
He couldn't even avoid them quickly enough, let alone go out of his way to comply.
Zhou Shuren uttered a sound of acknowledgment, "Then next time someone mentions Young Master Shen in front of you, just flatly refuse and say that this official is no longer taking apprentices."
Wong Ju's fishing rod twitched, but alas, he lifted it too soon, and the fish shook free of the hook. Seeing that the bait was still intact, he threw it back into the lake, "The lord may think I haven't made myself clear, but unfortunately, I am me, and the lord is the lord. A rejection from the lord himself carries much more weight."
