Of course Liu Weizhi knew who Luo Wencheng was. A little over three years ago, a big drama involving a real and a fake prince of the Luo family, the richest family in Haining, had shocked the whole city.

The story goes that the mistress of Luo Kaifang happened to go to the countryside to visit relatives when she was pregnant. Somehow, the labour started early and she gave birth to a child in a small hospital halfway through the journey. It might have been too busy at that time, and the child was stolen by human traffickers as soon as he was born..

The mistress had not become the wife yet, and losing her son meant that her dream to become a wealthy man's wife was shattered. So not only did she not dare to reveal what happened, she also asked her confidants to urgently search for a newborn child. At that time, there were many newborns in the hospital, so they created chaos and stole the child of a migrant couple.

The job of making the plum tree wither in place of the peach tree (substitute one thing for another) was done well. The migrant couple had no roots in the local area. They thought their child was stolen by human traffickers. They didn't suspect anything else at all, and the stolen child was brought back to the Luo family. His identity was never doubted, and the mistress also used this child to become the real Mrs. Luo.

This child was Luo Wencheng. He grew up in the Luo family until he was seventeen. During this time the former mistress died prematurely, leaving only the nanny to know the truth. The nanny then fell ill and before she died, she ran to the Luo family to tell them the truth so that she would not have to suffer the torment of her conscience anymore.

The news caused an uproar in the Luo family. Luo Kaifang started looking for his biological son everywhere. It took more than half a year to finally find him. The real prince was picked up and returned home. The fake prince was naturally in an awkward position. There were rumours that Luo Wencheng fell out of favour and took it very badly; in the end, he drove his car drunk and tried to kill Luo Wenjun. Unexpectedly, Luo Wenjun remained unscathed, but Luo Wenjun's adoptive sister had her leg broken.

Luo Wencheng was underage at the time, and it was an internal dispute of the Luo family. It was not impossible to exempt him from punishment as long as appropriate activities were carried out. However, Luo Kaifang felt sorry for his son who had suffered for seventeen or eighteen years outside. It also happened to be a time of strict political scrutiny, and the head of the Luo family wanted the honour of being a model civilised businessman, so he placed righteousness before family and personally sent the fake son he had raised for eighteen years to prison.

Although Liu Weizhi had not long been in Haining for long, he had inquired about all the big and small events here.

A few days ago Luo Wencheng was released from prison and seemed to have gone to the Luo family to make a scene. Liu Weizhi looked at the young man in front of him. Luo Wencheng was quite different from what he had imagined.

He smiled at Luo Wencheng and said, "So you're Luo Ershao, one of the Four Young Masters of Haining, how nice to meet you."

Luo Wencheng's face flushed and he said with a bitter smile, "There is no such thing as Luo Ershao. I came here to apply for a job because I saw that you were recruiting."

A trace of surprise and doubt flashed in Zhao Jianping's eyes, and he said in disbelief: "Are you here to find work? You don't know how to bartend, what are you going to do in the bar? Come on, follow me, you have your brothers, do you need to be shy?"

Luo Wencheng didn't let him pull him away, "I can't rely on you, I'm a big man and I have to support myself." He said to Liu Weizhi, "Manager, I see that the job ads say that one must be over 1.75 and have good looks. I meet these requirements. Do you think you can give me an interview opportunity?" He smiled bitterly again, "Of course, if you don't accept people who have been in prison..."
