Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage

Chapter 36 What Kind of Trick is this Kid Playing?

There was an antique tea house in the deep and serene alley with a wooden fence around it, which was fully covered with vines dotted with light pink flowers swaying in the wind.

Pots of flowers were placed in front of the tea house door, and some spider plants were dangling in the air as well. Such a place was perfect for drinking coffee, but it was actually a tea house.

Once entering the tea house, one would be under the delusion that he had stepped back in time. The interior was furnished with rosewood chairs, screens, scripts, paintings and antiques, all in traditional classic style.

Thus, even if the tea house was hidden in a tranquil alley far from the hubbub urban life, it was frequented by guests every day.

Tea was boiled in front of the guests, while a lady was playing the Chinese zither across the bamboo curtain. The music sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate.

"It’s my pleasure to be invited by Young Master Hawkins to such an elegant place to have a cup of tea." Dawson stared at Archibald with a smile across the tea table.

"You’re flattering me, Dawson. It’s my pleasure to invite you to have a cup of tea with me," neither humble nor haughty, Archibald said unhurriedly. As a junior, he handled the conversation with all due ceremonial.

Dawson, who had just turned 60 this year with a lean body, was most interested in tea tasting. He was the head of the radio station.

After some small talk, the tea was served by the one who was boiling tea. The room was filled with the tea aroma.

Dawson shut his eyes, took a deep breath and praised, "It’s the best Longjing tea picked before Grain Rain."

"It’s true that you’re a great tea lover," Archibald said with a smile.

Dawson raised his eyebrows, grinned happily and said nothing, savoring the tea aroma.

"Archibald, did you just say that you wanted to buy the advertising rights during the prime time?" Dawson asked slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Exactly." Archibald nodded, put down the tea cup and went on, "A new product is just about to enter the market, so this time, I’d like to get a place in your treasured land to promote it."

Eyes slightly closed, Dawson said flatly, "I think you also know that our radio station was created long ago. It can be regarded as an old one in Millpond and is no match for those new ones. Are you sure you want to promote your new product in our radio station?"

"It’s just because of this that I invited you to talk the matter over with me. Since it’s an old radio station, it must have many old listeners. To tell you the truth, I also listened to your station when I was little, so privately, I hope the radio station will be better developed in the future too."

Truly, the radio station had been created a long time ago, so it was hard to reform its operation pattern in a short time. However, it was impossible for the radio station to cater for the rapidly changing world without reformation. Therefore, reformation was the only way out if it wanted to win listeners from those newly created ones.

"Well? Do you have any good idea?" Dawson stopped smiling and became serious.

Archibald gave a little smile, his handsome eyes gleaming. "Dawson, let’s talk it over while tasting tea…"
