42 Temptation
Since this necklace is around my neck, it's mine. Xiao Banxia would not reach out to her younger brother to ask for such expensive jewelry, but since it was given to her by her younger brother, a rich man, of course she had no reason to refuse.
"Then don't stink, it's time, we have to go. ”
Xiao Yao and Xiao Banxia took a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the car had been reported in advance, otherwise, they would not be allowed to drive into the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has a total of 18 buildings, in addition to the No. 18 Presidential Building, the other 17 buildings have Western villa style, there are first-class style, there are also Oriental national style, but all are modern buildings. Tang Zhengshan chose to have a banquet in Building 10.
After the completion of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, the original Diaoyutai Palace and the modern 18 buildings are connected, reflecting each other in ancient and modern. The whole state guesthouse is dense with ancient trees, murmuring clear water, green grass, willow embankments, and stone bridges and paths, just like a fairyland on earth.
The car stopped in front of the building, Xiao Yao and Xiao Banxia had just stepped out of the car, and a young man about 30 years old had already walked over quickly, "Hello Mr. Xiao, I'm Tang Tianhao." ”
Although Tang Tianhao is a noble child, he maintains a good figure, looks quite strong, should be a very self-disciplined person, looks quite handsome, has a smile on his face, and has a very friendly temperament, leaving a very good first impression on Xiao Yao and Xiao Banxia.
After Tang Tianhao also greeted Xiao Banxia, he continued: "Old Zhao and our family are also world friends, and when he died, we didn't even go to give his old man a ride, which is really undeserved. ”
"Grandpa Zhao likes to be quiet and doesn't like noise, so when he was dying, he specially told him not to hold a funeral, not to notify any relatives and friends, he wanted to leave this world quietly, and even the ashes were scattered in the Hanzhou River. Originally, I was going to hold a grand funeral for his old man's family, but the old man was very insistent on his will, and I could only follow his wishes, without notifying relatives and friends. Xiao Yao explained briefly.
Tang Tianhao sighed and said: "Zhao Lao's immortal-like character, he was unknown during his lifetime, and the things behind him were even silent, a master hermit, probably so." ”
After a few words of greeting, Tang Tianhao led the two of them to the building, making introductions as they walked.
Downstairs in this building is the reception room, equipped with a restaurant or conference negotiation hall, after Tang Tianhao's brief introduction, the three of them walked directly into the restaurant.
After an old man about 60 years old saw the three of them, he hurriedly greeted them, and he didn't need Tang Tianhao to introduce him, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with Xiao Yao, and said in a hearty voice: "Old Zhao's heir is really extraordinary, Mr. Xiao is the dragon and phoenix among people at a glance." ”
"Mr. Tang, you have won the award, before I met Grandpa Zhao, I was just an ordinary person. ”
Tang Zhengshan's hands were very powerful and enthusiastic, and after greeting Xiao Banxia, the group walked into the set box.
After everyone took their seats, Tang Zhengshan mentioned Zhao Lao, his tone was very heavy, and he deeply regretted that he couldn't give Zhao Lao a ride when he died.
Of course, today is Tang Zhengshan's banquet for Xiao Yao's sister and brother, and this kind of heavy topic can only be passed by, and he quickly changed the topic.
After chatting casually, Tang Zhengshan sighed with emotion: "Old Zhao's fairy-like character is so immortal, thinking of his old man's voice and smile, it is really embarrassing." As the heir of his old man, Mr. Xiao doesn't know if he has inherited those magical skills of his old man?"
Xiao Yao glanced at Tang Zhengshan, a little surprised by his straightforwardness.
Tang Zhengshan invited Xiao Yao today, and the main purpose should be to find out if he had obtained part of Zhao Lao's inheritance. Xiao Yao originally thought that he would probe from the side without a trace and around the bush, but he didn't expect to ask so bluntly.
Xiao Yao admired Tang Zhengshan's straightforwardness a little. For the Tang family, whether he has obtained the inheritance of Zhao Lao is a big deal, and it must be asked clearly. The other party's straightforward inquiry made him seem closer, Tang Zhengshan handled it very well, and it would not disgust Xiao Yao at all.
Xiao Yao wanted to use the Tang family's connections, so naturally he couldn't hide it from him. The so-called networking, to put it bluntly, is that you help me and I help you, both parties must have a reciprocal relationship, and when they both rely on each other, such a relationship can last for a long time.
The Tang family has a place to ask Xiao Yao, it is Zhao Lao's magical skills, if Xiao Yao does not inherit these magical skills of Zhao Lao, he will lose the qualification to associate with the Tang family.
Xiao Yao said very solemnly: "Mr. Tang is not an outsider, but there is no need to hide it from you." The master chose me as his heir, ostensibly because I saved him, but in fact, it was only for outsiders to see. The real situation is that the master took a fancy to my talent, and the inheritance he left me was nothing, and leaving his skills to me was what the master valued the most. ”
After receiving Xiao Yao's affirmative reply, Tang Zhengshan's father and son's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Even Tang Tianhao, who had always had other plans, after hearing this reply, the surprise in his heart was greater than the regret.
If Xiao Yao didn't inherit Zhao Lao's ability, even if Tang Tianhao played some conspiracy and got something from Xiao Yao, it would be limited. And once Xiao Yao has Zhao Lao's skills, with the relationship between their Tang family and Zhao Lao, when they encounter problems that cannot be solved by manpower, they can ask Xiao Yao for help at any time, which is the long-term plan.
"As far as I know, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Xiao have not been in contact for a long time, it would be good if the time could be longer, presumably Mr. Xiao will be able to learn more skills from Mr. Zhao. Tang Tianhao said very regretfully.
Xiao Yao smiled slightly and explained: "Mr. Tang, you don't know, the inheritance of our lineage is very different from the normal master-apprentice teaching, no text, no six ears, it doesn't take a long time, only one night is enough." ”
"That should be similar to the method of Buddhist initiation, right?" Tang Zhengshan asked in surprise.
Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Almost." Although the way of inheritance of our lineage is different from the enlightenment of Buddhism, it can be regarded as the same path. ”
"It's really amazing!" Tang Tianhao basically believed Xiao Yao's words, but he still wanted to test Xiao Yao's ability to have Zhao Lao's skills now, "Zhao Lao is also very proficient in physiognomy and fortune-telling, but unfortunately his old man has always lived in a simple place, and I have never had this fate." I can see Mr. Xiao today, I think maybe fate has arrived, I wonder if Mr. Xiao can show me the photo?"
