The Human Emperor (1-200)

C148: Zhou Wen!

Amidst Su Zhengchen and little Jianjian’s surprised gazes, Wang Chong left.

Before his departure, Su Zhengchen had lost tragically to Wang Chong once more, and the white stones on the chessboard were scattered sparsely around the place. This made a deep ‘川’ to furrow on the ex-war god’s forehead.

After leaving the Ghost Tree District, Wang Chong headed straight for the city’s east before asking a few passers-by for directions. Even though the nobility in Great Tang Empire knew very little about the Charcoal Wine, it was a famous product among ordinary civilians.

In just a short moment, Wang Chong arrived at the entrance of the Zhou Clan’s brewery.

The gigantic courtyard was surrounded by a fence, and on the fence, a long flagpole stood taut. Written in black on a red background was:

“Zhou Ji’s Charcoal Wine!”

The flag drifted along with the wind, and from afar, one could vaguely see a few black spots on the red background. Clearly, it had several years to it by now.

Given how the boss didn’t change their flag for such a long period of time, he must have been very proud of his specialty.

“So this is where that person works!”

Half a street away from the Zhou Clan’s brewery, a carriage stopped. Parting the window lace, Wang Chong gazed through the window to look at the Zhou Clan’s brewery with unspeakable emotions in his heart.

Wang Chong had heard quite a few things regarding that person, and he knew that he worked for a wealthy clan, but even so, he couldn’t help but feel agitated upon seeing his working place for the first time.

If not for little Jianjian unintentionally bringing the matter up after sneakily drinking some wine, Wang Chong might have never remembered it.

“Gongzi, we’ve checked on it. There’s indeed a person named Zhou Wen here.”

At this moment, the carriage door opened, and a Wang Clan guard walked in respectfully.

“I’ve asked around, and everyone inside knows him. He was born into a destitute family, and he has a mother at home to provide for. To date, he has already worked for the Zhou Clan for several years now. He is an honest and reticent person. He keeps a low profile in the factory, but due to his diligence, his co-workers have a favorable impression of him.”

Wang Chong nodded. This was completely aligned with what he knew of that man.

The Zhou Wen before twenty-seven-year-old was no different from an ordinary man. Despite his lack of talent, he made it up with his diligence to provide for him and his family.

What that truly changed his fate was the appearance of the mysterious ‘Demonic Emperor Old Man’.

It was the Demonic Emperor Old Man who turned that mediocre and amiable young man into the respected expert in the future.

“Have you asked when he gets off work?”

Seated in the carriage, Wang Chong asked.

“I’ve asked. To prepare food for his mother, he would always return on time. To make up for it, he often arrives at work much earlier than the others. He would wake up before five to prepare food for his mother before heading to the Zhou Clan brewery to start working. When others start work, he would have already worked for four hours already.”

“Even though he got off work early, his working hours are actually much longer than the others. On top of that, he’s extremely diligent. Singlehandedly, he does the work rivaling two to three people. As such, the Zhou Clan is delighted to keep him as well.”
