Careful thoughts were exposed, and Lin Wu’s dark face turned red. “Ahem, if the boss minds, I can reluctantly help keep it for the boss.”

Beside them, Jiang Li burst into laughter unexpectedly, finding it amusing that even the usually honest Lin Wu had such an interesting side.

Zhou Chao looked at him teasingly and said, “Well, it seems like this job suits you perfectly!”

“In that case, thank you in advance, boss!” Lin Wu said with a smile, extending his hands.

Watching Lin Wu’s shameless behavior, Zhou Chao chuckled and tossed the bracelet in his hand to him.

After Lin Wu received it, he joyfully examined it for a while before putting it on, swaying his hand back and forth.

Seeing Lin Wu’s excitement, Zhou Chao gave him a speechless look, then took Jiang Li’s hand and walked ahead.

It took Lin Wu quite a while to come back to his senses from the excitement. He realized that Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had already walked far away, so he hurriedly caught up with them.

After that, Zhou Chao and his companions visited several other famous places. Finally, they stopped at a square and all looked at a large ancient building with a huge crowd.

“Brother Chao, what’s that place? Why are there so many people?” Jiang Li asked softly.

Zhou Chao shook his head gently. “I’m not sure either. Let’s go and see.”

He also looked around but didn’t see any obvious signs or names.

He figured they might not be standing in the right spot.

Then, the three of them walked over, and as they got closer, Zhou Chao finally saw the name of the building.

“Tianhou Temple! Brother Chao, do you know?”

Zhou Chao shook his head slightly, indicating he wasn’t very sure. However, he noticed there seemed to be a sign at the entrance introducing Tianhou Temple. After a brief glance, Zhou Chao realized that the Tianhou Temple in front of him was a well-known Mazu Temple!

Moreover, the Mazu Temple in front of him was quite remarkable. It was one of the earliest Mazu Temples still in existence, with a history of 700 years!

“Let’s go inside and pay our respects!” For something Zhou Chao didn’t initially believe in, but since he had the system, who knew if there were really immortals? He considered it a psychological comfort.

After all, praying at the Mazu Temple was for safety, so there was no harm in it!

Then, Zhou Chao led Jiang Li into the Mazu Temple. There were so many people that they had to wait for half an hour before it was their turn.

Mostly, many tourists and locals from Tianjin came here to bum incense and pray for blessings.

When Zhou Chao and his companions came out of the Mazu Temple, the sky had gradually darkened.

Boss, should we find a hotel to settle down first or continue exploring?” Lin

Wu glanced at the time. It was already six o’clock in the evening.

Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li beside him and saw her enthusiastic expression.

He knew Jiang Li still wanted to explore.

“Let’s explore a bit more. We don’t need to rush to find a place to stay. If necessary, we can just sleep in the RV!”

As Zhou Chao finished speaking and was about to continue exploring the Ancient Cultural Street, excited voices from passersby could be heard.

“I heard that Deshe’s famous teahouse is opening here. I wonder if it’s true. Let’s go check it out!”

“It should be true. I searched online, and it said that Lao Guo himself is leading a team here. Could he be planning to open a branch in Tianjin?”

“I don’t know. All I know is if we wait any longer, we won’t get tickets. Hurry up!”

Upon hearing these remarks, Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect Lao Guo to come to Tianjin.

“Wifey, how about we go listen to some cross-talk?”

“Sure, I haven’t listened to cross-talk in a long time!” Jiang Li said happily. She was also quite trendy and quite fond of Deshe.

Zhou Chao nodded, found a less crowded place, and took out his phone to call Lao Guo.

Meanwhile, backstage at the Famous Teahouse, Lao Guo and his old partner Yu Qian were chatting. Little Yueyue and Sun Yue were also sitting nearby.

“Make sure there are no mishaps tonight’s performance. This is our first step into Tianjin’s comedy scene. We can’t afford to make fools of ourselves in front of our fellow townsfolk!”

As a native of Tianjin, Lao Guo didn’t want to embarrass himself in his hometown. Moreover, most of the audience tonight were Tianjin locals and were quite knowledgeable about cross-talk. If any problems arose, it would be a big embarrassment!

“Don’t worry, Master. The performers we’ve invited are all prepared!” Xiao Yueyue said with a smile.

“Lao Guo, you worry too much. Relax. You know the skill level of your own disciples, don’t you?” Yu Qian put down his teacup and said with a smile.

Lao Guo was well aware of his own issues; indeed, he tended to get flustered when he was concerned!

Just as he took a sip of tea, he noticed his phone vibrating on the table.

Initially hesitant to answer, but when he saw the caller ID, he quickly set down his teacup and picked up the phone.

“Lao Guo, why so jumpy? Could it be a call from that pretty lady? Don’t worry, even if I saw it, I wouldn’t tell your wife!” Yu Qian joked.

Ignore him, let’s not talk for now!” Lao Guo said as he answered the call.

As Yu Qian and the others looked at Lao Guo in confusion, they heard him politely say, “Young Master Zhou, what made you think of calling me? Is there something you need?”

“Lao Guo, I heard that you’re performing at the Famous Teahouse. 1 happen to be in the Ancient Cultural Street area, so I wanted to ask if you have any tickets available. My wife and I would like to come and show our support!”

Excitedly, Lao Guo replied, “I didn’t expect Young Master Zhou to be in Tianjin as well. Of course, we have tickets. I’ll have Little Yueyue bring them to you right away!”

“Great, I’m just near the entrance of the Famous Teahouse. Oh, and there will be three of us!” Zhou Chao said before ending the call.

After hanging up, Lao Guo noticed Yu Qian and the others staring at him intently.

“Is Young Master Zhou coming to listen to the cross-talk?” Yu Qian asked.

“Yes, he’ll be waiting near the entrance of the teahouse. Xiao Yueyue, go and bring three tickets to him directly to the private room!” Lao Guo quickly instructed Little Yueyue to run the errand.

Everyone present knew who Young Master Zhou was, and XiaoYueyue didn’t waste any time, quickly grabbing his phone and running out.

As for the tickets, they could only be obtained from the teahouse. Lao Guo believed that Xiao Yueyue could handle this matter.

“Alright, with the boss coming, let’s give it our all tonight. Sun Yue, go tell Mengmeng and the others to bring their A-game!”

Lao Guo also felt somewhat melancholic. He never expected this big shot to come to Tianjin, let alone to coincidentally appear here.

“Alright!” Sun Yue also understood the importance of the situation and briskly headed outside.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and his companions stood chatting in the square. After about five minutes, they spotted a familiar figure emerging from the teahouse.

Glancing around at the entrance, they quickly spotted Zhou Chao and his friends not far away and hurried over.

“Young Master Zhou, sorry to keep you waiting!” Xiao Yueyue gasped for breath as he spoke.

“No trouble at all.”

“Not at all, not at all. These are your tickets, Young Master Zhou!” Xiao Yueyue quickly handed the tickets to Zhou Chao.

After Zhou Chao took them, Little Yueyue continued, “Young Master Zhou, I’ll go inside first. I’ll be waiting for you in there!”

“Alright, you go ahead.” Zhou Chao nodded.

He knew that Xiao Yueyue’s intention was to minimize any potential trouble. If certain individuals found out that Zhou Chao and his friends were receiving special treatment, it might cause some backlash.

Zhou Chao didn’t pay it much mind. After Xiao Yueyue went inside, he led Jiang and Lin towards the teahouse.

Once inside the teahouse, they didn’t have to go far before they spotted Xiao Yueyue at a comer. Following him through a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at a second-floor private room with a great view!

“Young Master Zhou, I’ll leave you here then!”

Zhou Chao nodded slightly, and Xiao Yueyue quickly left the private room.

The room was well-equipped with snacks, fruits, pastries, and neatly arranged tea.

After waiting for about half an hour, they heard the announcer below, signaling that tonight’s cross-talk performance was about to begin!
