Chapter 166: Tomorrow, Family Dinner
Tang Lin sat on the sofa dejectedly, he rubbed his hair with both hands, looking very anxious, and after a while, he looked up and asked Zhou Ming: "Are you really sure you want this?" You must know that the situation twenty years ago is not the same as now, I admit that Uncle Tang created a miracle, but a miracle is only a miracle after all, Tang Ran is not her father's ......"
Zhou Ming was not interested in hearing this, and directly interrupted him: "It doesn't matter if it's a miracle or not, but there are some things that you can't say if you don't try it...... I'm sorry, but that's not my style. ”
Tang Lin still wanted to say something, but at this time, Zhou Ming raised his hand and glanced at the time, and immediately said: "It's not early now, we need to get out of here, so we need Mr. Tang Lin to make a decision as soon as possible." ”
"My mind is very messy now, can I think about it alone?" Tang Lin asked.
"I understand Mr. Tang Lin very well, but I'm sorry no. Zhou Ming said.
"Are you worried that I will make emergency arrangements for the building in the time I can think?" Tang Lin looked at Zhou Ming intently and asked, trying to provoke Zhou Ming through this kind of question.
Zhou Ming nodded very calmly and said: "That's right, after all, this building is called the Tang Bank Building, and Mr. Tang Lin, you are the senior executive of the Tang Bank, aren't you?" I think if it were me, as long as I was given time to arrange, it would not be a difficult thing to leave a person in the building, and now if I am not careful in your place, I will look down on you a little too much." ”
Who wants you to look down on me? I just want you to look down on me, and if you have the ability, you will look down on me!
Tang Lin shouted frantically in his heart, but he couldn't say this anyway, and it was too cheap. He could only grit his teeth hard and then stood up and said, "Okay, I can promise you that we will cooperate, and I will help Tang Ran inherit the family inheritance." ”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang Lin, I am sure it will be a wise choice. Zhou Ming said, "But please forgive me for being careful, we are not from the Tang family after all, how can we believe that you will help Tang Ran to inherit the Tang family's inheritance, instead of just writing a blank check? After all, saying it and making it are two completely different concepts." ”
Since he had already promised Zhou Ming, there was no need for Tang Lin to hide it on this issue, he replied to Zhou Ming: "Tomorrow night the family will have a dinner meeting, including all the heirs of the Tang family and other important members will attend this meeting, and as long as Tang Ran comes to attend this meeting together and shows his identity in front of all the family elders, he can be proven as the heir." ”
After speaking, Tang Lin thought about it and reminded Zhou Ming again: "Twenty years ago, Tang Ran's father, that is, my uncle, he did just that. ”
Zhou Ming nodded silently: "I see, so what about the time and place of this family dinner tomorrow?"
"The time is about half past six tomorrow night, and the location is in Quan'an, which is an island in the eastern inland sea that completely belongs to the Tang family, because it is a private island, it is not found on the map of San Francisco, only the inland sea pier Tang family's own boat is allowed to dock. Tang Lin said, "Tomorrow afternoon, around half past four, I will be waiting for you at Pier 36 of the Inland Sea Pier on the east side of Chinatown, because only those who have been proven to be from the Tang family are eligible to enter." ”
"I see, I think we'll be there on time tomorrow, so I'll see you tomorrow. ”
Leaving these words for Tang Lin, Zhou Ming took Tang Ran out of the room, and Tang Lin just watched them leave without saying a word, until they completely disappeared from view, he sat back on the sofa.
Seeing Zhou Ming and them leave, Hoover immediately said to Tang Lin: "Sir, I'm very sorry for this matter, this is the result that I didn't expect anyway, if Sir, you are not reconciled, I think we can still notify the building security, I think the time is enough to stop them before they reach the first floor." ”
Faced with Hoover's suggestion, Tang Lin shook his head and said, "No need, just let them go." ”
Hoover wanted to say something, but Tang Lin asked him first, "Are you familiar with that Mr. Zhou Ming?"
"It's a customer I met in Brighton before, and I can only be regarded as acquainted, not particularly familiar. Hoover replied cautiously.
"Then tell me more carefully, what kind of person this Zhou Ming is. Tang Lin said.
Regarding Tang Lin's request, Hoover was stunned at that time, because he didn't understand how Tang Lin could suddenly ask such a question, and he was even more afraid that Tang Lin was asking him for Zhou Ming, who suddenly appeared.
Tang Lin, who made the request, also thought of something at this time, and then comforted Hoover and said: "Don't think about it, I just want to get to know this person from the side, because I have a hunch that we will have a long time to deal with him in the future, and we can't afford to suffer losses like today." I don't blame you for today's incident, I was a little negligent myself, I didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear. ”
Hoover was very moved by Tang Lin's relief: "No, sir, it's all my fault, it was I who didn't introduce this Zhou Ming to you, sir, that caused you to suffer such a loss." ”
Speaking of this, Hoover thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I think I will tell you what happened when I met Zhou Ming, because I am worried that my evaluation will carry a lot of my own subjective consciousness and interfere with your judgment." ”
Tang Lin smiled and nodded, "No problem." ”
After getting Tang Lin's reply, Hoover talked about seeing Zhou Ming in Brighton, Tang Lin also listened very carefully, they were all very focused, so no one noticed that when Zhou Ming's bodyguard left his seat, he left behind a very inconspicuous black cloth group......
Of course, this is not an ordinary black cloth group, but a bugging device, which was handed over to Zhang Lin by the people of the consulate, and he stayed on the sofa he was sitting on before leaving, because he was just a bodyguard, and the situation just now was relatively sudden, and the bugging device itself was very inconspicuous, and it was still placed in the gap of the sofa by Zhang Lin, so Tang Lin Hoover did not find it until they left.
At this time, at the elevator entrance, Zhang Lin was listening to the situation in the room with headphones, after all, this was Tang Lin's territory, and they would still be worried that the young master of the Tang family would turn his head and turn his face.
Finally, when Zhang Lin took off the headphones, Tang Ran, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately asked: "What's going on? What's going on inside? Did that sissy send someone to block us below? If we don't take the elevator, how can we go down? What did you hear......
Faced with these problems, Zhang Lin briefly described the situation in the room just now to Zhou Ming.
After listening to Zhang Lin's narration, Tang Ran immediately scolded: "This Hoover is really a bastard villain!"
Zhou Ming took Tang Ran's little hand, patted her twice, signaled her to calm down, and said, "Since they are not going to block us here, then I should leave first." ”
After speaking, Zhou Ming pressed the elevator and left the Chinabank building with Tang Ran, they first went to Chinatown to report the safety of Tang Ran's friend Xiaoxue, and then they went to the hotel to open a room, in order to ensure safety, Zhou Ming chose a five-star hotel next to Chinatown, but did not ask for a presidential suite, but only a sea-view suite.
Moved into the room, Zhou Ming first took the phone and reported to Lin Muqing that she was safe: "Sister Muqing, I have picked up Ran Ran now, you can rest assured that her parents, but don't want her parents to come to San Francisco first, because there are some very complicated situations here, and I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while, all in all, my original hunch is right, Ran Ran's identity and her disappearance, these things are not as simple as we think." ”
Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, "This involves a big family of the same size as Adams, and the situation may not be simpler than when we were in Brighton...... Rest assured, things haven't gotten any worse yet, I think there's still a big turnaround, at least facing the Chinese family will give me a sense of intimacy, you know that most of the Chinese in San Francisco have moved from Lingnan and speak Cantonese, which reminds me of our time in Port City...... I know that I'm going to take care of myself here. ”
When Zhou Ming hung up the phone after speaking, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, and turned his head to see Tang Ran standing at the door at some point, Zhou Ming smiled and beckoned her to come over.
Tang Ran timidly walked over and said cowardly: "I'm sorry Brother Ming, did I cause you trouble?"
Regarding Tang Ran's apology, Zhou Ming pretended to be serious and said: "Of course you have caused me trouble, it is still a big trouble." ”
Tang Ran was frightened, but then Zhou Ming changed the subject: "The biggest trouble you caused me is that you didn't tell me when you got into trouble, and I wanted to know from your sister Mu Qing!"
"But that's not Brother Ming, you haven't contacted me before, don't I know your contact information? And didn't I also find your partner who stayed in China and sent her a distress message? Didn't she help me transfer it to you? I really don't know!" Tang Ran explained anxiously.
This explanation made Zhou Ming embarrassed, because thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the result of his deliberate failure to contact her before.
"Okay, my contact information is given to you now, you have to remember it in the future, if there is anything in the future, you must tell me as soon as possible?" Zhou Ming said and gave his mobile phone number to Tang Ran.
Tang Ran nodded vigorously, and said like a curse: "I will definitely do it!"
Then Tang Ran sat next to Zhou Ming, and carefully leaned on Zhou Ming's shoulder, while leaning on the little girl, she also paid attention to Zhou Ming's face very carefully, for fear that he would be dissatisfied. And Zhou Ming just looked at her quietly, and he was about to laugh when he saw her so timid like a little mouse out of a hole foraging for food, how could he still be angry?
Tang Ran saw Zhou Ming's smile, she became bold and leaned comfortably on Zhou Ming's shoulder.
"Brother Ming, are we really going to that inland sea pier tomorrow, to that island called Quan'an?" Tang Ran asked.
Zhou Ming nodded and said of course, then he lowered his head and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Faced with this question, Tang Ran proudly puffed up his small chest and replied: "Of course I'm not afraid! No matter what place it is, as long as it's where Brother Ming wants to go, I'll go with me! And Brother Ming, didn't you say that it was the Tang family's place?" And I am the first heir of the Tang family, then I should be the master there, right, when I see the elders in the family, and when I inherit all the inheritance, I will first remove Tang Lin and Hoover from the family, and then give all the wealth of the family to Brother Ming, okay. ”
"Of course it's good to be like this, you don't know that your brother Ming is a big money fan!" Zhou Ming smiled and rubbed Tang Ran's hair, but Zhou Ming was already thinking about what might happen tomorrow.
