Lu Dashan's friendliness greatly exceeded Xiao Zheng's expectations and made him quite puzzled.
Why
Not to mention that the relationship between himself and Lu Qier was not so good that he would stab her at both sides. Even if they had a deep friendship, as a father figure, Lu Dashan had no reason to take the initiative to show his kindness.
Xiao Zheng silently lit a cigarette, frowning slightly. After a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, I can handle this little thing myself, so I won't bother you."
Xiao Zheng is soft-spoken and short-handed when taking advantage of others. Xiao Zheng does not want to owe the Lu family any favors.
"Why, are you still polite to your Uncle Lu?" Lu Dashan said with a smile.
"You're not polite." Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head. "Uncle Lu, you are a person of status. There is no need to show up for such a trivial matter as mine."
A smile flashed across Lu Dashan's eyes, and he heard what Xiao Zheng meant.
Yes, Lu Dashan is definitely a person of great status in Mingzhu, but this status cannot be known to Lu Qier, his precious daughter, for the time being. Otherwise, Lu Qier wouldn't have guessed that it was Lu Dashan who was behind her to achieve her current status
Xiao Zheng said this mainly because he didn't want to disrupt Lu Dashan's overall plan because of his own trivial matter. It can be said that it is well-intentioned and thoughtful.
"Since you said so, I won't force it." Lu Dashan smiled slightly and didn't force it. "But if anything happens, you must tell Uncle Lu. In Mingzhu, Uncle Lu still has some ideas."
"Thank you, Uncle Lu." Xiao Zheng nodded, grateful.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Zheng didn't stay any longer. After expressing his gratitude to the couple, he stood up and left.
"Come and sit down when you have time. Uncle Lu treats you to hot pot." Lu Dashan personally walked to the door and said enthusiastically.
"OK."
Xiao Zheng waved goodbye and slowly left the Lu family.
"How about it?"
After closing the door, Qin Shuang, who had been silent, asked curiously.
"Not bad." Lu Dashan lit a cigarette, sat back on the sofa and took a sip of Pu'er, saying meaningfully. "No wonder Lin Chaotian hasn't shown up yet. He seems to think that this guy is not a simple guy. He is a character."
"What kind of person can a poor boy with nothing be?" Qin Shuang teased. "Don't you always look down on people in our profession?"
"I have never looked down on your profession." Lu Dashan corrected. "I just look down on idiots who do things without thinking."
"Do you think he has a brain?" Qin Shuang asked.
"Even an old guy like Lin Chaotian who thinks highly of himself has no problem with him. There must be something unusual about this kid. And he has guessed the relationship between us and Lu Qier. He is not a fool no matter how you look at it." Dashan took a puff of cigarette and said slowly. "It seems that the contact between this boy and Qi'er was indeed unintentional and had no purpose."
"I don't care if there is a purpose or not." Qin Shuang's eyes became blurred and she said in a deep voice. "But this kid's past is not simple, and there are too many uncertainties around him. Although he is just a small security guard at Xinao Company now, his peaceful life will be broken before long."
"Why do you say that? What did you find?" Lu Dashan asked curiously.
"Do you know who this kid is in our circle?" Qin Shuang said with calm eyes.
"What existence?" Lu Dashan asked.
"It took five years to build an A-level team. And he himself has never failed. All of his companions are elites." Qin Shuang said in wonder. "I asked someone to inquire about it a few days ago. The team he leads is currently the most popular and youngest team in the industry. It can be called an anomaly."
"Aren't they just a group of bounty hunters? As for bragging so much?" Lu Dashan is a business tycoon after all. He has never had a good impression of mercenary killers, a profession that relies on selling their physical strength in exchange for revenge, and he doesn't like them very much. In his eyes, problems that can be solved with money are never problems. Even if the person he sleeps with is also from this industry, he still can't change his deep-rooted ideas.
"You businessmen are the only high-end professions? Are you, Lu Dashan, the only one capable?" Qin Shuang teased. "Why didn't you become the president of the country? Didn't you command the army?"
"—" Lu Dashan was so embarrassed by the teasing that he coughed dryly. "I'm a businessman, not a politician. How can I compare to you? Besides, if I had been in politics back then, it was not impossible for me to join the central government and become a Beijing official."
"Blow. You may not even be able to suppress Lin Chaotian. How can you have the nerve to brag?" Qin Shuang glanced sideways and said disdainfully.
"I can't suppress Lin Chaotian? Are you kidding me?" Lu Dashan said dissatisfied. "When I was thirty, I was already one of the richest men in the world. What was Lin Chaotian doing when he was thirty? Being a housewife, cooking for his wife and children and looking after the house."
"What happens next?" Qin Shuang curled her lips and asked. "Lin Chaotian rose from a housewife to the most popular big shot in the capital. What about you? You still live in the Pearl as your local emperor. Is it interesting?"
"What's wrong? How is Mingzhu worse than Yanjing? I can be number one in Mingzhu, but he dares to claim to be number one in Yanjing? Look at those old guys who won't undercut him." Lu Dashan said dissatisfied. "Isn't Lin Chaotian just a Phoenix Man? As good as you say?"
"You have the nerve to say it." Qin Shuang rolled her eyes at her husband. "Look at those people of your generation, who are not trying hard to get into Yanjing? At least half of them have established a foothold in Yanjing now, right? You are the only one who doesn't want to make progress and just guards one-third of an acre of land all day long. How can you I don’t dare to go either. Apart from making hot pot at home, what else do they have to do? Look at Lin Chaotian and the others, they are all brothers and sisters with the ministerial bosses, and they are drawing up the blueprint for China."
"I'm not bad either. Doesn't the Pearl Standing Committee have my trusted brothers? In a few years, when they enter Beijing, they will still be able to speak in the central government." Lu Dashan said proudly. "I just don't want to go to Beijing together, otherwise Lin Chaotian would be as famous as he is today? But then again, you are not so snobbish usually? What's going on today? Why do you feel so resentful?"
Qin Shuang rolled her eyes and didn't explain.
"Got it." Lu Dashan grinned and joked. "Isn't it because I went to Yanjing to attend a party a few days ago and was stimulated? I told you before that you should read more books at home when you have free time. Why do you join in the fun with those bastards? You don't know what they are like. Virtue? Everyone wants to boast about their husbands, is that interesting?"
Qin Shuang curled her lips and said: "At least it's better than squatting at home and eating hot pot all day. Look at your swimming ring, you can hardly fit into your suit."
"Nonsense. I've also been losing weight recently, okay?" Lu Dashan glared at his wife.
"What? It's the day of your gathering again. Afraid of embarrassment?" Qin Shuang hated the irony. "Just be more careful. Every year, the party is Lin Chaotian's personal show. You are also a pearl leader as famous as him. Why should you let him overwhelm you in everything? If this continues, the party will become the private property of their Yanjing Gang. Party."
"Don't worry, as long as I, Lu Dashan, are here, our Pearl Gang will have a place in this party. No matter how famous Lin Chaotian is, there is no way he can be defeated in front of me, Lu Dashan." Lu Dashan vowed. "But speaking of it, I have indeed been too low-key in the past few years. It's time for me to come out of the cage and show my gorgeous wings."
"That makes sense." Qin Shuang nodded and changed the subject. "But do you think Lin Chaotian can agree with Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin? I always think Lin Chaotian is quite evil. I can't see through it."
"I don't know whether he agrees or not, but according to Xiao Lin's temperament, as long as she identifies Xiao Zheng, even if Lin Chaotian jumps up and down, he can't change Lin Huayin's decision." Lu Dashan grinned. "This little girl looks so much like her mother. She is as stubborn as a cow. No one can pull her back."
Qin Shuang said sourly: "My wife, what are you doing so well? Why, you haven't forgotten that cold woman after so many years?"
Lu Dashan said with embarrassment: "We are already an old married couple, why are you still so petty? Besides, she has become a Buddhist monk. Even if I have an idea, can I still let her return to secular life?"
"Humph. Go to sleep." Qin Shuang glared at Lu Dashan and went upstairs.
Lu Dashan trotted into the kitchen to supervise the pot of braised pork elbows he was cooking. That was a late-night snack for him and Lu Qier to watch the football match tonight, so he couldn't be careless.
