Study room of the City Lord's Mansion in Shen City Inner City.
The conversation between Shen Ruoshi and Zhao Jincheng had already lasted two days, from the early morning of the 3rd to the 5th. The two men didn't leave the room, indulging in a private exchange of words not meant for outsiders. Passersby who occasionally heard snippets from the study couldn't help but blush, shaking their heads as they left, while also feeling enviable towards the man with a square face who won the City Lord's favor.
However, as the object of everyone's envy, Zhao Jincheng felt he was almost at his breaking point.
