Chen Zhizhong nodded, drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, when I follow Master back to Star City, I will mention to him about going to Jingmen Island. If Master agrees, I will go to you then. There’s a lot of food to be had there, don’t not entertain Uncle Master when the time comes!”
Gu Xiaoxue chuckled and said: "Xiaoxue must arrange everything in advance and welcome Master Uncle's arrival."
"Um!"
Chen Zhizhong nodded slightly.
Gu Xiaoxue said again: "Uncle Master, if you have no other instructions, I will leave first. I am not used to the environment here."
Chen Zhizhong smiled and said: "Go!"
Ouyang Lulu stood aside and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She thought Gu Xiaoxue was here for dinner, but it turned out that she was here to see Chen Zhizhong. She knew the affairs of Gu Xiaoxue and Chen Zhizhong very well. They had met each other last time Tang Xiu had an accident in Beijing. Watching Gu Xiaoxue leave, she sat back helplessly, looked at Chen Zhizhong and said, "Boss Chen, since you are Sister Xiaoxue's uncle, you should persuade her not to live so boringly every day. By the way, she should listen to you, right?"
Chen Zhizhong smiled bitterly and said, "She only listens to Master's words."
Ouyang Lulu was stunned for a moment, and immediately gave him a look of defeat.
At the same table.
There were looks of shock in Zhang Yueming's eyes. When Gu Xiaoxue's figure just disappeared from the banquet hall door, he immediately picked up the wine glass, left his seat, walked around to Chen Zhizhong, and said with a smile on his face: "Chen Brother, I have heard for a long time that the medicinal materials business run by Bai De Pharmaceutical is particularly prosperous, but it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to meet Brother Chen. When we meet today, I will toast you."
what's the situation
Chen Zhizhong was stunned, and so were the others at the table.
With Zhang Yueming's status, he was not far behind Chen Zhizhong. How could he propose a toast to Chen Zhizhong? The most important thing is that he actually left his seat and stood next to Chen Zhizhong in a very low posture to toast. This... doesn't make sense
Chen Zhizhong came to his senses within a few seconds, stood up quickly and said politely: "Brother Zhang, you're welcome. Your name is also very familiar to me. I can't help but be happy to meet you today. Come, let me have a drink with you." "
"Brother Chen, be happy!"
The smile on Zhang Yueming's face became even brighter, and he and Chen Zhizhong drank the wine in their glasses together. However, he did not leave his seat immediately, but said with a smile: "Brother Chen, since you have come to Shanghai, I, a local coward in Shanghai, should also fulfill my duties as a landlord. Are you free tonight? I'm hosting a banquet at home. Brother Chen, would you like to have another drink?"
Chen Zhizhong hesitated and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhang, I should have paid a visit to your mansion. But I have to leave with my master later, and I don't know what plans he has for me in the evening. This... I'm sorry that I can't agree to it for the time being."
Zhang Yueming's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Since Master has something to do with you, forget it. I had planned to have a few drinks with him before, but unfortunately he didn't like such lively scenes. Later, please tell him on my behalf say hello."
Chen Zhizhong asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, do you know that my master is..."
Zhang Yueming said with a smile: "I have some friendship with Master Tang..."
Chen Zhizhong understood the meaning and was obviously very close to Zhang Yueming. He said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, please take a seat quickly. If my master has no other arrangements later, I will definitely visit your house. If I really can't get away, I will come back later." In Shanghai, Zhizhong will definitely pay you a visit."
Zhang Yueming smiled with satisfaction, returned to his seat, filled the glass with wine, raised it to Chen Zhizhong, and drank it all in one gulp.
The exchange between the two made everyone present feel shocked and confused. Even Ouyang Lulu didn't expect that Tang Xiu actually knew Zhang Yueming and had some friendship with him. The most important thing is that even she can see that Zhang Yueming is showing favor to Chen Zhizhong, and the reason is naturally because of Tang Xiu.
"How many powerful wealthy people does that guy know?"
Ouyang Lulu murmured secretly in her heart, then raised her wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, Lulu, to express her gratitude to everyone, I would like to toast you all with another glass."
Drink up one cup.
Wang Tao looked at Chen Zhizhong and asked curiously: "Boss Chen, who is the respected master? Has he come here too?"
Chen Zhizhong smiled and said: "My master is the one who just participated in the ribbon cutting, Tang Xiu."
What
Everyone at the table, except Ouyang Lulu and Zhang Yueming, all had expressions of disbelief.
"Boss Chen, what international joke are you kidding? That Tang... How old is he? How could he be your master?" Wang Tao said in disbelief.
Chen Zhizhong smiled lightly and said: "Mayor Wang, there is a saying: people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Although my master is young, he is much better than me in some aspects. The ancients said: The master is the teacher. I worship him As a teacher, there’s nothing to be alarmed about, right?”
Wang Tao was stunned, then smiled awkwardly and said: "I am narrow-minded. But, I wonder what you will learn from that Mr. Tang?"
"Martial arts!"
Chen Zhizhong said without any concealment.
Wang Tao suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Chinese martial arts is the essence of the country. It is really rare and valuable for Boss Chen to put aside the concept of age and truly achieve the point where 'the master is the teacher'. Come, let's have a drink."
"good!"
Chen Zhizhong smiled.
Wang Tao drank the fairy wine in his wine glass and stopped talking to Chen Zhizhong. Although he said it beautifully, he was very dissatisfied in his heart. After all, with Chen Zhizhong's status, it is really a big deal to take a young man in his early twenties as his disciple. If you want to practice martial arts, with Chen Zhizhong's wealth and status, you can just spend money to hire him. As for becoming a disciple, you will lower your status.
And that Tang Xiu!
I had never heard of him before, and I didn’t know where he came from. He was lucky enough to participate in the ribbon-cutting of Paradise Villa. He was Chen Zhizhong’s master. He was really capable at such a young age. Unfortunately, this ability is far from elegant.
suddenly.
He thought of something in his mind, and immediately leaned towards Ouyang Lulu beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Lulu, I want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
Ouyang Lulu said differently.
Wang Tao asked: "Even if that Tang Xiu is Chen Zhizhong's master or your friend, he won't participate in such an important ribbon-cutting ceremony today, right? Does he have any other great identities?"
Ouyang Lulu thought for a moment, but instead of answering Wang Tao's question, she asked in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, you and my father are good friends, and our two families are old friends. Am I right?"
Wang Tao didn't understand the reason for Ouyang Lulu's inquiry, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, our two families have a deep connection and cooperate in many fields. The most important thing is that the Ouyang family and I The Wang family has had several weddings and happy events over the years."
Ouyang Lulu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you. But don't tell anyone. Just be aware of this matter."
Wang Tao nodded and said, "You say it!"
Ouyang Lulu said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Tang Xiu is a descendant of the Tang family in Beijing and the grandson of the old man of the Tang family."
Beijing? Tang family
Wang Tao nodded slightly, and then his expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "What did you say? He, he, he... he is that... "
Ouyang Lulu stood up quickly, grabbed his arms with both hands, interrupted him, and pulled him to sit down amidst the confused expressions of everyone at the table.
"Uncle Wang, you don't need to make such a fuss!"
The look of shock on Wang Tao's face did not diminish by half. After looking up at Chen Zhizhong, he finally understood why Chen Zhizhong wanted to worship Tang Xiu as his disciple. The newly found descendant of the Tang family in Beijing was definitely not a thing in the pond! The Wang family has some power. He even learned from the last game between the Tang family and the Yao family in the south that the Tang family was bullied miserably by the Yao family. Later, Tang Xiu arrived and finally used powerful methods. The Yao family was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
Now!
Those ordinary family forces may not know these things, but all the top families in Beijing know this. I even heard that the old man of the Yao family was so angry that he threw several cups after hearing about it.
Under Ouyang Lulu's curious gaze, Wang Tao picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at Chen Zhizhong and said, "Boss Chen, although I met Mr. Tang before, we didn't have time to say hello to him because there were so many people talking. This glass of wine Respect you, I hope to say hello to him for me later. I will visit him again when I have time."
what's the situation
Chen Zhizhong was stunned, and the others were dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at Wang Tao in disbelief, wondering why he mentioned the young man named Tang Xiu again? In fact, the attitude this time was completely opposite to that just now.
Chen Zhizhong suppressed the confusion in his heart, raised his glass and said, "You're welcome, I will do it."
Wang Tao finished the glass of wine and said: "Boss Chen, Shanghai is an international metropolis. Traditional Chinese medicine has almost been replaced by Western medicine, but traditional Chinese medicine is our national quintessence, a precious knowledge passed down by our ancestors. If you have Patek Pharmaceutical If you are willing to do business in Shanghai, you can contact me directly. I will give you my personal number later and am waiting for your call at any time. As for the formalities and documents from the government departments, I will personally help with them."
"this… "
Chen Zhizhong never expected that Wang Tao would publicly show his kindness to him on such an occasion. This kind of commitment is rare.
Wang Tao seemed to be afraid that Chen Zhizhong would not believe it, so he said again: "Boss Chen, I, Wang Tao, always keep my word. I only hope that our traditional Chinese medicine can regain its glory with the medicinal materials provided by your Bai De Pharmaceutical."
Chen Zhizhong glanced at Wang Tao gratefully and said, "So, thank you very much. If I have any plans in this regard in the future, I will definitely contact you."
He is a smart man. From what Wang Tao said just now, he judged that Wang Tao's change of attitude was entirely because of his master Tang Xiu. However, when he thought that Wang Tao was from the government department and his master Tang Xiu was a descendant of the Tang family in Beijing, his confusion was quickly relieved.
