What Do You Have to Compare? (Second Update!)

"You like it?"

Watching the group of people from the Kou Country enter the teahouse, the junior disciple's expression quickly turned cold.

His gaze followed, becoming icy.

"Yes, we really like the Peking Opera culture of the Dragon Country!"

Ignoring the junior disciple's cold stare, the short man at the front quickly nodded and said, then changed the subject with a smile:

"However, Peking Opera culture has only remained in past glory!"

"What do you mean?"

The junior disciple gritted his teeth and asked.

He didn't have a good attitude towards these people from the Kou Country.

Especially these guys who, without understanding the depth of the matter, dared to criticize the national quintessence culture. He couldn't muster even a shred of respect for them.

"Haha, please forgive my bluntness! Your Peking Opera is outdated. It occupies prime locations but is ignored by the people of the Dragon Country, which shows that this culture has been eliminated by modern culture. Haven't you noticed that everyone passing by here is going shopping or to the movies? This indicates that the Dragon Country needs the impact of new and trendy culture!"

"To be frank, we are major investors from the Kou Country and are very interested in your teahouse. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we can make changes to your Peking Opera and jointly create a new venue for cultural exchange between our Dragon and Kou countries! I believe our arrival will greatly promote your economic development and cultural prosperity!"

The short man said confidently.

From his words, it sounded like he even planned to bring Kou Country culture to the teahouse?

The junior disciple's expression turned completely cold, and he asked with some displeasure:

"Do you even know what Peking Opera is?"

"What do you mean by 'you damn bastard'?"

The short man didn't react immediately and asked.

The two behind him changed their expressions and quickly explained.

After the explanation, the short man's face also turned unpleasant. His mustache twitched, and he angrily said:

"Baka! I've given you enough face from the start. I advise you not to be ungrateful! It is your honor, and the teahouse's fortune, to be noticed by our investors! Who is your person in charge? Come out, I want to have a good talk with him!"

"Get lost! Go look in the mirror, do you even have the qualifications to talk? Get lost before I get angry!"

The junior disciple's temper flared up, and he directly cursed at the three of them!

Even facing their angry glares, his imposing manner did not diminish as he directly kicked them out!

Never mind that the short man had spoken so outrageously about Peking Opera culture; where did this little short man get the audacity to blabber on Dragon Country territory?

"Hmph, idiot!"

The short man was furious. He babbled a bunch of gibberish in Kou Country language and then left with a hmph.

Although they were very angry about the junior disciple's actions, they still didn't dare to make a move here.

After all, the Dragon Country of today was no longer a place where people from the Kou Country could act recklessly.

Soon, after being rebuffed at the teahouse, the Kou Country investment company found Mei Liangxin.

An international hotel, a certain suite.

Led by an acquaintance, Mei Liangxin saw three short men in this suite.

He heard they were influential investors, but he didn't expect them to be from the Kou Country?

Upon seeing that they were three people from the Kou Country, Mei Liangxin's expression faltered, and he looked at his friend beside him with some surprise.

His friend gave an awkward smile, and nervously hurried to introduce them:

"These three are the investors I mentioned. They are famous investors from the Kou Country with substantial capital!"

"Hano-kun, this is the senior disciple of the teahouse—Mr. Mei Liangxin. He is the proud eldest disciple of the teahouse's troupe leader! If we can have him as a bridge, I believe our investment matters will be twice as effective with half the effort!"

Hearing his friend's introduction, Mei Liangxin's expression became even more unpleasant.

He already didn't want to get involved with the teahouse's affairs, and now his friend was introducing business to people from the Kou Country?

"Yoshi, with Mr. Mei's help, our investment in culture will surely proceed smoothly! We look forward to cooperating with you!"

The short man at the front—Hano-kun—sat there arrogantly and said to Mei Liangxin with a smile.

He said this with his mouth.

But from his eyes, the suspicion was undeniable.

After carefully sizing up Mei Liangxin, he felt that Mei Liangxin looked more like a businessman, completely lacking the appearance and demeanor of a performer.

Mei Liangxin looked at his friend's awkward hand extended in mid-air. The three short men had no intention of shaking it.

He immediately understood that these three people were not ordinary, and his friend was being somewhat obsequious.

He then stopped being polite and waved his hand directly:

"Not interested. I already said I wouldn't get involved with the teahouse's affairs! Why are you still pushing this? You guys talk, I'm leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The expressions of the three short men immediately changed, and they looked at him with furrowed brows!

His friend quickly stopped him, saying:

"Hey! Don't do that! Brother Mei, why don't you listen to the price they're offering first? It's double the price you were commissioned to handle the acquisition for before!"

He didn't understand why Mei Liangxin, who was usually so eager for money, would turn his back on the people from the Kou Country the moment he saw them.

Where did such deep hatred come from?

"Yes, we greatly admire your Peking Opera culture. As long as you cooperate with our acquisition of the teahouse, we will spread our excellent culture here and smoothly carry out the cultural exchange between the Dragon Country and the Kou Country! We'll give you double!"

Hano-kun added his agreement.

He wanted to impress Mei Liangxin with the price.

Upon hearing this, Mei Liangxin looked at Hano-kun with some surprise, then suddenly smiled:

"Heh, I do like making money, especially earning money from you guys! However, I absolutely will not do this. Also, let me remind you, Peking Opera is not something you people from the Kou Country can casually meddle with! You want to spread culture? I suggest you abandon those crooked thoughts early!"

The three short men exchanged glances, looking somewhat angry.

Seeing this, his friend also grew anxious:

"Hey! Mei Liangxin, you've already changed careers to become a businessman, can you be more realistic? Bro, I'm genuinely trying to help you make money! Haven't you always wanted to promote Peking Opera culture? These three bosses also want to help you! If you can make money then, maybe it can even help boost Peking Opera culture!"

"Can you make money without a bottom line? Why don't you kowtow to them and call them daddy? I advise you, don't forget your ancestors and your identity!"

Mei Liangxin sneered and looked at the three short men, continuing:

"You talk about Peking Opera culture one after another, but do you truly understand it?

Peking Opera, as a national quintessence, has witnessed the darkness of the Dragon Country and its prosperous eras!

In the long river of thousands of years of history, it has integrated the strengths of various schools and gathered the essence of numerous operas!

It speaks of the Dragon Country's long and continuous history, and its spiritual inheritance over these past centuries!

Spiritual inheritance is loyalty, filial piety, propriety, and righteousness!

With loyalty at the forefront, even in humble positions, one must not forget the worries of the nation!

Filial piety follows, where there is a nation, there is a home; respect those above and be kind to those below!

Propriety accompanies it, a land of etiquette for thousands of years, possessing both courtesy and dignity!

Righteousness concludes it, embodying benevolence, righteousness, and morality!

In the source of these thousands of years of history, is there any trace of your so-called culture?

What can you compare to these classic, enduring arias passed down through the centuries!?"

These words carried a sharp momentum!

The power bursting forth from each syllable made the three Kou Country people feel a suffocating pressure.

This source of historical inheritance spanning thousands of years was a past they did not possess!

The pride and self-assurance in his words also left them speechless!

They could only watch as Mei Liangxin's determined back disappeared.

Leaving behind the enraged curses of the three men.
