The weather had turned cold, and Old Master Yan was warming himself by a brazier, sipping wine.
When he saw Li Zixiu had arrived, he ordered a few more dishes to accompany the wine.
Li Zixiu didn't stand on ceremony, and after having a couple of glasses with Old Master Yan, he explained his arrival, "What are your plans here? You know that I am completely confused with this back and forth. I figure since you are so experienced, following you must be the right decision."
Old Master Yan chuckled and said, "I am old now, and I'm planning to retire. After the start of the year, I will hand over all the business to my eldest son. Then, I will just stay at home, look after the children, and enjoy my wine."
Li Zixiu of course didn't believe it.
