Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 488: Comparing Attitudes
Nodding at him, Chen Zhizhong sipped her wine and smilingly said, "Xiaoxue, after I return to Star City with Master, I will mention my matter of going to Jingmen Island with him. If Master agrees, I'll probably go to your place to eat, but you won't have to comfort your own Martial Uncle. ”
With a faint smile, Gu Xiaoxue replied, "Then, Xiaoxue will arrange everything first to welcome Martial Uncle's arrival. ”
"All right!" Chen Zhizhong nodded slightly.
"Martial Uncle, if you don't have any other instructions for me, I'll take my leave first. I am not used to this environment, ” Gu Xiaoxue said again.
"Continue!" Chen Zhizhong replied with a smile.
Standing at the side, Ouyang Lulu could only roll her eyes. He thought Gu Xiaoxue had come to eat. It turned out that he had come only to see Chen Zhizhong. He knew the matter related to Chen Zhizhong and Gu Xiaoxue, because they had met each other in Beijing when Tang Xiu was injured. He looked at the departing Gu Xiaoxue and reluctantly sat down in his chair. Then, he turned his vision to Chen Zhizhong and said, "Big Boss Chen, since you are Sis Xiaoxue's Martial Uncle, you should persuade him to give up living a boring life. By the way, he should listen to your words, right? ”
"Well, he only listened to Master's words," Chen Zhizhong said with a forced smile.
Stunned, Ouyang Lulu stared blankly, and immediately painted her face "you've been defeated".
At the same table, a shocked and astonished light glittered in Zhang Yueming's eyes. Just as Gu Xiaoxue's figure disappeared at the front door of the banquet hall, she immediately picked up her glass and got up from her seat, circling around towards Chen Zhizhong's position. After he came to his side, he smilingly said, "Brother, I have heard that your Endless Immortal Pharmaceutical has a highly developed herbal medicine business, which is, but I have never been able to meet you all this time. Too bad. So, today, I want to pay your respects with a cup of wine. ”
What situation is this
Chen Zhizhong was stunned.
Given Zhang Yueming's prominent status, which was much higher than Chen Zhizhong's, would he care about Chen Zhizhong? What was most special was that he actually left his chair and stood beside Chen Zhizhong, toasting in a very humble manner?
In a split second, Chen Zhizhong regained her senses, quickly got up and replied politely, “You are too polite, Brother Zhang. Your honorable name is like lightning echoing in my ears. I can't help my joy at having the opportunity to meet you today. Come on, I'll accompany you for a cup. ”
"Sister Chen, let's toast!"
The smile on Zhang Yueming's face turned even brighter. He and Chen Zhizhong drank a glass of wine together, yet he did not immediately leave the seat and smilingly said otherwise, “My dear brother Chen, I am a local snake in Shanghai. Since you have come to this place, you should also make friends with the local Landlords. Do you have any free time tonight? If so, would Brother Chen want to visit my place and accompany me to dinner? The least I can do is play as a good host for you. ”
Chen Zhizhong hesitated. He forced a smile and said, “My brother Zhang, your offer is of course welcomed. But, I will have to accompany my Master later, and I don't know what arrangements he has for me tonight. About your invitation .. I'm sorry, I can't accompany you. ”
Zhang Yueming's expression moved slightly as he smiled and said, "Since your Honoured Master has some matters to deal with, then let's forget about it for now. To be honest, I planned on drinking a few cups with her before. But unfortunately, he did not seem to like the lively scene. Please give my regards to him. ”
"Brother Zhang, you know my Master is .." Chen Zhizhong said curiously.
"So to say, I have a little friendship with Tang .. with your Honored Master," Zhang Yueming said with a smile.
Chen Zhizhong understood quickly. His attitude towards Zhang Yueming clearly changed even better, and he said with a smile, "Sister Zhang, please quickly go to your seat. If my Master has no arrangements for me later, then I will visit you. If I am too busy, then Zhizhong will definitely visit every time I come to Shanghai again. ”
Zhang Yueming smiled in satisfaction. After returning to his seat, he filled his glass with wine and raised it towards Chen Zhizhong before he drank it.
Their exchange left everyone present shocked and confused. Even Ouyang Lulu never expected that Tang Xiu would really get to know Zhang Yueming, let alone befriend him. What was more important was that he could see that Zhang Yueming was clearly showing goodwill towards Chen Zhizhong, which was obviously because of Tang Xiu.
How could this person know so many powerful local tycoons?
Ouyang Lulu silently muttered to herself. He then raised his glass and smilingly said, “Come, everyone, Lulu wants to express her gratitude to everyone present. Please accept my respectful greeting. ”
After his glasses dried up, Wang Tao's vision turned to Chen Zhizhong and said with a curious expression, "Boss Chen, I don't know who your Honored Master is. Did he come today too? "
"Well, my master is the one who participated in cutting the ribbon, Tang Xiu," Chen Zhizhong said with a smile.
Whahuh?
Everyone present at the table, except Ouyang Lulu and Zhang Yueming, had faces of hesitation.
"Boss Chen, what kind of joke are you playing? That tang ...he was very young. How could he possibly be your master? ”Ask Wang Tao in disbelief.
"Mayor Wang, there is a saying that we can never measure the sea with a bushel. Likewise, men cannot be judged by their appearance. Although my Master is indeed young, he is much more skilled and powerful than me in various aspects. Saying an ancient saying, anyone who has achieved mastery of something can become one's master. The matter of me considering him as my Master is not something worth surprising about, is it? "
Wang Tao looked empty, yet he immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "Really, I am very narrow and have narrow eyesight. Anyway, do you mind if I ask you what you learned from Mr. Trump. Smell?"
Suddenly realizing something, Wang Tao smiled and said, “Wushu China is the essence of our country. Thinking that Boss Chen could put aside the concept of seniority and could actually apply the philosophy of 'anyone who achieves mastery can become its master', was extremely rare. Come on, let's have a drink. ”
"All right!" Chen Zhizhong said with a smile.
After drinking the God Nectar in his glass, Wang Tao stopped chatting with Chen Zhizhong. Although she spoke beautifully on the surface, she herself was actually disapproving inside. After all, given Chen Zhizhong's identity, taking a youngster in his 20s as his master really took the main issue lightly. If Chen Zhizhong wanted to practice Wushu, given his wealth and identity, he could directly hire someone rather than go further by formally taking him in as a Master, which was akin to lowering his own status.
Tang Xiu was someone he had never heard of before, nor did he know where he was from. Nevertheless, for him to actually participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Paradise Manor and become Master Chen Zhizhong could prove that he did indeed possess some real abilities at that young age. Unfortunately, that alone was not enough to make him go onto the bigger stage.
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, as he immediately leaned onto Ouyang Lulu. He lowered his voice and said, "Lulu, can I ask you something?"
"What?" Ouyang Lulu asked back with a strange expression.
"Although Tang Xiu is Master Chen Zhizhong and your friend, yet it is not enough for him to participate in such an important event like the ribbon cutting ceremony today, right? Does he have another prominent identity or something? "Ask Wang Tao.
Ouyang Lulu pondered for a moment, yet she did not answer Wang Tao's question as she whispered back, "Uncle Wang, you and my father are friends, and can even be said to be old friends, am I really?"
Despite not knowing where Ouyang Lulu went with this, Wang Tao still nodded and replied, “Yes, that's right. Our friendship is indeed far behind, and we have worked together on many things before. Moreover because your Ouyang Family and my Wang Family are also related to some marriages as well. ”
"If so, then I won't hide anything from you. But, please do not say a word to others what I will say to you, "said Ouyang Lulu with a nod.
Wang Tao nodded, "OK, tell me!"
With a voice that only the two of them could hear, Ouyang Lulu said, "Tang Xiu is a descendant of the Tang Family from Beijing. He was the biological grandson of the Tang Family Head. ”
The Tang Family from Beijing?
Wang Tao nodded gently, yet his complexion drastically changed all of a sudden. He suddenly got up and exclaimed, “What are you saying? She, she, she .. she was … "
Ouyang Lulu hurriedly got up and grabbed his arm with both hands to interrupt, and forced him to sit back down.
"Uncle Wang, do you need to fuss about something like this?"
The surprised expression on Wang Tao's face did not diminish in the slightest, however. He looked up at Chen Zhizhong and finally realized why Chen Zhizhong would officially take Tang Xiu as his master. The recently discovered descendant of the Tang Family from Beijing was by no means someone untalented! Of the few powers the Wang Family had a relationship with, the, he had heard the news that the result of the final match of the throne between Tangs and Yaos in the South had made the Yao Family end miserably and badly beaten by the Tang Family. . Thanks to Tang Xiu who came late. He used some powerful means that caused the Yao Family to suffer great defeats and great losses.
Up until now, the powers of ordinary families might not have been aware of the matter; the top families in Beijing, however, had known about this. Old Yao Family Head was even rumored to be on a rampage after finding out about it.
Wang Tao picked up his wine glass and went towards Chen Zhizhong under Ouyang Lulu's curious gaze. The man then looked at Chen Zhizhong and said, "Boss Chen, even though I did meet Master. Tang earlier, I didn't greet him as many things were mixed in between the events. Anyway, I'd like to offer you a toast, hoping that you'll deliver my greetings later. I'll come visit him next time. ”
Any more?
Once again, Chen Zhizhong was paralyzed, and the rest were dazed.
Everyone present had unimaginable expressions when they saw Wang Tao. They don't understand. Why did he mention that the young man called out to Tang Xiu again? Even his attitude this time was clearly different.
While trying to contain his confusion, Chen Zhizhong raised her wine glass and said, "Courteously, I will pass on your message. ”
After drinking wine, Wang Tao said, "Boss Chen, Shanghai is an international metropolis, and Chinese medical knowledge is almost replaced by Western medical science. But we all know that Chinese medical knowledge is the product of the essence and valuable knowledge passed down by our ancestors. If your Endless Preciousness Pharmacy is willing to grow your business to Shanghai, please contact me directly. I'll give you my personal number, and I'll wait for your call. I'll personally help you with the legal documents. ”
"It's…"
Chen Zhizhong had never imagined that Wang Tao would openly show his goodwill on this occasion. This commitment, in and of itself, is extremely rare.
As if afraid that Chen Zhizhong would not believe it, Wang Tao said again, “Bos Chen, I, Wang Tao, always keep my word. I have always hoped that Chinese medical science could return with the medicinal herbs provided by your Endless Virtue Pharmacy. ”
With a grateful expression, Chen Zhizhong looked at Wang Tao and said, "In that case, I would like to thank you first. I'll definitely contact you if I plan to expand here in the future. ”
Wise and shrewd like him, he could tell that Wang Tao's change of attitude was due to his teacher, Tang Xiu. His confusion also quickly disappeared after he remembered that Wang Tao was someone from the government; whereas his teacher, Tang Xiu, was a descendant of the Tang Family from Beijing.
