Chapter 1260 - 160. The hole card becomes invalid_2
Even the lion dance team that had taken up half the street was forced into a corner.
The leader of the lion dance, clearly unwilling to be driven back by the man, waved the lion’s head with both hands and intended to advance again, but he had not even taken a step before he was repelled by the fiery red flames.
He had no choice but to retreat, for he couldn’t sacrifice the tools of his livelihood over a single performance!
Seeing his own lion dance team so embarrassingly overpowered, Wu Zhengqing was so furious that his face turned red and his neck thickened, and what almost made him spit blood was that, without his noticing, the space in front of both the Chen Ji and Wu Ji shops had already been entirely occupied by the troupe of street performers.
While everyone was enjoying the performers, more than twenty pretty young girls suddenly came out of Chen Ji’s shop, each dressed in colorful clothes, and embroidered on their backs were two large characters, "Chen Ji." The young girls, smiling sweetly, approached the onlookers, and whatever they were saying, it was clear that everyone who spoke with them unanimously headed into Chen Ji’s shop.
"Damn it!"
Wu Zhengqing’s fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. Yet he was in a difficult position because just the shimmering brocade worn by those young girls was something his Wu Ji could not compare with. To think that Chen Ji would dress these promotional girls in such costly shimmering brocade, they were truly throwing around their wealth.
Not only Wu Zhengqing, but Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were also taken aback for a moment. It was one thing for the decorations inside Chen Ji Cloth Shop to be made of shimmering brocade, but to see these clearly maid-born girls wearing clothes made of it too, it was a slap in the face that resounded with a smack!
"This won’t do, we can’t just sit here and wait to die!" Wu Zhengqing’s eyes narrowed dangerously, thinking that if they couldn’t surpass their rivals on the opening day, it would be even tougher to turn things around in the future.
His eyes darted swiftly, and he beckoned over a young servant and instructed him to go to the Second Prince’s Mansion for a savior. As long as they could get the Second Prince to send a Capital Official, Wu Ji’s situation could turn around.
But before Wu Zhengqing could finish his words, he was startled almost to the point of his eyeballs falling out by the sudden appearance of two people across the way!
