Back then, on a whim, I started a small company, originally just to avoid my parents' nagging, but I never thought it would develop to this extent.
At the home of Qiu Yaozu.
Lin Xu notified Shen Jiayue, then notified Xie Baomin, Dai Jianli, and others.
Old Dai immediately refused upon hearing there was a meal at Qiu Yaozu's house:
"Why don't you let your senior brother go? I'm not thick-skinned like him, I can't even bring myself to pick up food with chopsticks in front of my elders, I'd rather not go and endure that."
Lin Xu reckoned that old Dai was worried about getting lectured by Qiu Yaozu.
This old master was always strict with himself and most hated the carefree, flippant chefs, such as certain individuals from the Fishing Platform like Xie so-and-so and Dai so-and-so, and every time he mentioned them, he practically wanted to use his walking stick to give them a whack.
