The Remarkable Zhang Guozhou

Su Ziyang finally drove to the restaurant called Little Jiangnan that Fairy Li had mentioned.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated, with a distinct Jiangnan style.

"Li, the one who called to make the reservation today."

Fairy Li walked to the front desk and said something to the restaurant receptionist in a childlike voice.

"You're Ms. Li, right? Private room 288 upstairs. Please go upstairs to the right!"

The bartender checked the reservation and led Su Ziyang and Fairy Li to private room 288.

Now that only Su Ziyang and Fairy Li were in the room, Su Ziyang couldn't help but ask again, "Fairy Li, you've been keeping us in suspense for so long, can't you still tell us who you're having dinner with?"

Fairy Li squinted and chuckled, "Of course I'm introducing you to a friend! Let me tell you, he's incredibly amazing!"

For some reason, Su Ziyang felt a bit resentful when he heard Fairy Li say that the other party was incredibly powerful.

"Alright!" Su Ziyang said quietly, then fell silent.

"I'm in private room 288 upstairs!" Fairy Li said with a smile into her phone.

"Good!"

A rather magnetic voice came from Fairy Li's phone. Upon hearing it, Su Ziyang felt even more nervous. For some reason, he felt not only nervous but also strange.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?" Fairy Li put down her phone and looked at Su Ziyang was bowing his head and remaining silent.

"It's nothing," Su Ziyang said casually.

Fairy Li looked at Su Ziyang, who was keeping his head down and not speaking, and her smile became even brighter, as if she was thinking about something.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a young man with his hair in a bun walked in from outside.

The young man was about 1.8 meters tall, slender, with a refined appearance and exceptionally fair skin. His gold-rimmed glasses further enhanced his air of elegance. Upon seeing Fairy Li, a smile immediately spread across his face.

"Zijun, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

The man cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Fairy Li and said with a light laugh.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Fairy Li chuckled. "We just arrived a short while ago. Please have a seat! We have two friends coming later."

"Alright! Zijun." The refined-looking man sat down directly next to Fairy Li.

Zijun Su Ziyang felt even more uncomfortable seeing how handsome this man was, and how he kept mentioning Zijun. He kept his face dark and remained silent.

Moreover, Su Ziyang's seat was one seat away from Fairy Li's, but this refined young man sat directly next to Fairy Li, right next to Fairy Li.

"Fairy Li!..."

As Su Ziyang was secretly circulating his inner Yunqi, another burst of cheerful laughter came from the doorway. Su Ziyang recognized the two people; they were Daoist Master Xiao Yang and one of Daoist Master Xiao Yang's friends. The girl's surname was also Yang, Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was there when we went out for a bath and massage last time.

"Hey, Little Zebra's here." Yang Ming chuckled, covering his mouth as he entered and saw Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang glanced at Yang Ming but didn't say anything.

"What's up, Little Zebra's got some Yunqi!"

Yang Ming works in medical device sales. She's incredibly beautiful and also extremely shrewd. The moment she walked in and saw a handsome guy clinging to Fairy Li, and then she saw Su Ziyang's expression, she immediately understood.

Seeing that Su Ziyang didn't speak, Yang Ming patted Su Ziyang's head and pulled a chair close to Su Ziyang's side.

A whiff of perfume wafted into Su Ziyang's nostrils, making Su Ziyang momentarily dizzy. Yang Ming was the mature, sophisticated type, both intelligent and charming.

"Zijun." Daoist Master Xiao Yang greeted Fairy Li and sat down to Fairy Li left, next to Fairy Li.

"Oh dear, everyone's here! Let's order! The waiter's taking our order," Fairy Li called out.

Su Ziyang was in a bad mood and didn't order any food.

Fairy Li and her companions busied themselves ordering sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour pork, salted duck, and a few vegetarian dishes.

The dishes were mostly mild in flavor and sweet in many ways. Su Ziyang didn't have any dietary restrictions, so he didn't mind.

"Hey, Little Zebra, are you jealous? That guy isn't Li Zijun's boyfriend, is he?"

Yang Ming leaned close to Su Ziyang's ear, his hot breath tickling Su Ziyang's ear.

"..."

Aside from having dated one girlfriend before, Su Ziyang really had no experience dealing with women, especially with a mature and intellectual beauty like Yang Ming.

So when Yang Ming did that, Su Ziyang's face turned bright red all the way to the roots of his neck.

"Sister Ming... stop fooling around."

Yang Ming is a few years older than Su Ziyang, and Su Ziyang Yang Ming"Sister Ming".

Su Ziyang hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.

"Haha, are you shy?" Yang Ming laughed heartily, a smug look on his face, as if his scheme had succeeded.

Fairy Li glanced at Yang Ming and Su Ziyang, smiled, and said nothing.

"Today is the first time everyone is having dinner with my friend, so let's all introduce ourselves!"

After two dishes were served, Fairy Li began to introduce everyone.

The refined-looking man chuckled and stood up first, saying to the three ladies, "Ladies, let me introduce myself. My Zhang Guozhou, composed of three surnames: Zhang, Guo, and Zhou. It's easy to remember. It's a pleasure to meet you all!"

Zhang Guozhou, a particularly strange name.

Then Yang Ming, Daoist Master Xiao Yang, and Su Ziyang introduced themselves.

"Su Ziyang, Doctor Su, I've heard Zijun mention you before. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

After Su Ziyang finished his introduction, Zhang Guozhou chuckled and started chatting with Su Ziyang.

"Hello, hello! It's a pleasure to meet you." Su Ziyang didn't want to say anything, so he could only chuckle.

"What shall we drink?"

Seeing that the dishes had been served but no drinks had been ordered, Yang Ming looked at the menu and asked...

"Hmm... let's have some wine!" Fairy Li said after a moment's thought.

"Okay, I'll drink anything!" Zhang Guozhou nodded.

"I'm fine with either." Su Ziyang nodded with a dark expression.

"Pah, you're not allowed to drink. You drive me home later," Fairy Li said, pointing at Su Ziyang in a commanding tone.

Su Ziyang was momentarily stunned and stared blankly at Fairy Li.

"See? Your Fairy Li has spoken, she won't let you drink. Hehe! Be a good boy and drink your beverage! Little Zebra." Yang Ming couldn't resist teasing Su Ziyang at this moment.

Su Ziyang nodded obediently and remained silent.

Daoist Master Xiao Yang neither eats meat nor drinks alcohol, so he just drank beverages with Su Ziyang.

The three ordered a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao Touqu. Just as the liquor was poured, Zhang Guozhou said with a smile, "Today we've gathered together experts from all walks of life. Just eating and drinking isn't fun at all! Since I'm new here, how about I perform a little magic trick to liven things up?"

"Great! Great!" Yang Ming, who loved excitement, clapped his hands repeatedly in approval.

"Okay, Master Zhang!" Fairy Li replied sweetly.

Daoist Master Xiao Yang remained remarkably quiet and didn't say a word, simply smiling as he looked at Zhang Guozhou.

"Waiter, could you please bring me a large teacup?"

Zhang Guozhou asked the waiter for a teacup. The three of them, not knowing what he was going to do, just stared at Zhang Guozhou.

Zhang Guozhou wiped the teacup clean with a paper towel, then poured the first brew into the teacup, filling it about halfway.

Because Zhang Guozhou had long hair, styled like that of the Daoist Daoist Master Xiao Yang, he had a black hairpin inserted in his hair.

Zhang Guozhou pulled the hairpin from his hair and used the pointed end to make a stroke in the teacup.

The glass of wine instantly split in two...

The wine and liquor each occupy half of the glass, without disturbing each other, as if a transparent glass plate were placed in the middle.

"Um..."

All three of them stared wide-eyed, as if something that shouldn't exist in this world had actually happened.

Su Ziyang had seen it in one of Lam Ching-ying's movies, where Lam Ching-ying used Daoist magic to split a teacup in two, and each person drank half.

But what Zhang Guozhou did today was even more shocking than when Su Ziyang watched a Lam Ching-ying movie, because Zhang Guozhou actually split a glass of wine into two separate glasses.

"Holy crap..."

Yang Ming glanced at the wine glass casually, then stood up and almost leaned over the table to look at it.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

If Yang Ming were walking down the street, you wouldn't imagine that such a beautiful woman could be swearing so profusely.

Daoist Master Xiao Yang was also very curious, so he reached for the teacup to observe it closely. But as soon as his hand touched the wine cup, the cup swayed, and the wine that had been split in two instantly merged back together.

"How did you do that?" Fairy Li stared at Zhang Guozhou with wide, admiring eyes.

"A mere trick, nothing to brag about! Nothing to brag about!" Zhang Guozhou squinted and chuckled twice.

Zhang Guozhou was very handsome, with long, narrow eyes. Su Ziyang looked at Zhang Guozhou and squinted his eyes, which looked exactly like fox eyes.

Seeing the adoring look in Fairy Li's eyes for Zhang Guozhou, Su Ziyang became even more unhappy.

"Hey, Little Zebra, hurry up and show us what you've got! Show us what you've got!" Yang Ming nudged Su Ziyang with his elbow and started egging him on.

The three men kept questioning Zhang Guozhou, but seeing that Zhang Guozhou showed no intention of revealing his secret technique, they all turned to another man present— Su Ziyang.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Su, why don't you join in the fun!" Fairy Li looked at Su Ziyang and winked.

This put Su Ziyang Su Ziyang in a bind. He really didn't know how to do this kind of little trick...

Because the skills Su Ziyang learned weren't really suitable for performance; he couldn't just go around breaking bottles and bricks everywhere. Besides, his master wouldn't allow it.

Acupressure? Who would you use that on? This thing isn't something you can just play with.

The Golden Bell Shield" and "Iron Cloth Shirt " techniques are even more ridiculous!

You're shirtless, and you stab me?

Isn't that a sand sculpture...?

So after this commotion, Su Ziyang's face darkened even more.

Seeing that Su Ziyang was silent, Yang Ming still wouldn't let him off the Su Ziyang and poked Su Ziyang's arm again.

"Doctor Su, come on over! Perform something! Don't just stand there."

"No, no, no, don't make things difficult for Doctor Su!" Zhang Guozhou waved his hand. "Let me do a little magic trick for everyone! To liven things up!"

Zhang Guozhou mainly focused on showing off their skills tonight, leaving Fairy Li completely mesmerized.

"What's this good stuff? Let's do a couple of moves! Hurry up!" Yang Ming let Su Ziyang go, chuckled, and then looked at Zhang Guozhou.

Zhang Guozhou took out a small, exceptionally red and glossy gourd from his pocket. The patina was very even and bright. It was particularly beautiful!

"What is this? A gourd! Are you a Calabash Brother?" Yang Ming stared at Zhang Guozhou's gourd and began to tease him.

"Beautiful lady, don't be in such a hurry! Take your time to look. It's not like the Calabash Brothers, but it's even better than the Calabash Brothers!" Zhang Guozhou gestured to Yang Ming, indicating that Yang Ming should not comment too soon.

After saying that, Zhang Guozhou took out another gourd from his pocket, which was exactly the same as the one he had just taken out.

"Big brother, second brother!" Daoist Master Xiao Yang interjected, covering his mouth, a rare occurrence for him.

"Ladies, take your time looking around!"

Zhang Guozhou put the two small gourds together and shook them. The two gourds began to shake and then started to collide with each other repeatedly.

"A fight has broken out!"

Zhang Guozhou chuckled, then pointed at the small gourd. The two gourds, like little robots, fought even more fiercely.

The two gourds kept clattering and banging; upon closer inspection, they really looked like two little people constantly pushing and shoving each other.

Moreover, after Zhang Guozhou placed the two gourds on the table, he never touched them again. The two gourds were kept hitting each other for three minutes without stopping.

"Holy crap, a world-class perpetual motion machine..."

Yang Ming blurted out something that left people both amused and exasperated.

"These two little devils won't keep fighting until dawn, will they?"

"Hehe, no way!"

Zhang Guozhou chuckled, "When brothers start fighting, naturally someone will try to break it up! The fighting can't go on forever!"

After saying that, Zhang Guozhou took out an identical gourd from his pocket and placed it between the two gourds.

Sure enough, as soon as this gourd appeared, the two gourds that were fighting immediately stopped.

"Huh... they're really not fighting anymore..."

Fairy Li looked at the two gourds that had stopped moving in surprise, and reached out to pick up the gourd that Zhang Guozhou had placed on the back.

As soon as Fairy Li took away the gourd she had used to "mediate," the two gourds started clattering together again.

"Huh..."

Fairy Li put the gourd back, and the two gourds stood up obediently again.

"This is interesting!"

Daoist Master Xiao Yang also became interested in Zhang Guozhou's two gourds.

The three beautiful women began to play with Zhang Guozhou's small gourd, while Zhang Guozhou looked on with a smug expression as the three women carefully examined the gourd he had taken out.

Su Ziyang finally couldn't resist and played with the three small gourds for a while, but he really couldn't see anything special about them; they were just three ordinary small gourds.

This little gourd is the kind that the uncles sell at stalls around the train station for 5 yuan each. It's just that his has been handled for a long time, so it has developed a patina and looks much shinier.

"I've made a fool of myself!"

Zhang Guozhou chuckled and took the gourd back.

"Brother Zhang, I've long heard you're an extraordinary person, and those two moves you showed today were truly interesting! Let me toast you!" Fairy Li raised her small wine cup and offered a toast to Zhang Guozhou.

"Zijun 're too kind!" Zhang Guozhou downed his drink and gave Su Ziyang a very provocative look.

"Hey~ Little Zebra. I think your Fairy Li is about to be snatched away. You're doomed! You'd better work harder. This Zijun likes quirky people."

Yang Ming whispered in Su Ziyang's ear again.

"..." Su Ziyang lowered his head and remained silent, extremely displeased.
