Rhode Island, an independent state located in the southeast of Massachusetts and the smallest and most densely populated state in the United States, was on Sunday, September 16, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing took a car to the beach club in Rhode Island.

"This beachfront club is the best private harbour in the whole of Hope Hill Bay, and is generally used for yacht club gatherings, with the best facilities, the best transportation links, and of course, the secrecy that many people appreciate. It is our excellence that makes many rich people choose here for vacations and parties, or to bring business partners to swim, Mr. Miss, you choose this place is the right decision for you!"

After Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing got out of the car, the manager of the club took the initiative to come forward and introduce them endlessly, and after Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing arrived at the restaurant on the shore, Zhou Ming waved him away. Of course, Zhou Ming's words were still very tactful: "Manager Gilman, I still have something to discuss with this lady, and please help me keep an eye on the harbor, if I receive the information of my guest, please tell me as soon as possible, okay?"

As the manager of the club, Gilman of course also understood Zhou Ming's eviction order, so he left sensibly.

When Manager Gilman left, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing each asked for a drink, and Lin Muqing asked Zhou Ming: "Do you think it's okay for me to dress like this today?" Originally, I wanted to wear formal clothes, but I thought that today is not a formal company negotiation, but more like a negotiation party between several parties, but it can't be too casual, it doesn't seem formal enough......

Before Lin Muqing's words were finished, Zhou Ming interrupted: "My Sister Muqing, you are a natural hanger, of course you are very good-looking, and it is very suitable for today's occasion, didn't you see that the Gilman manager just now was unwilling to leave?"

Lin Muqing glanced at Zhou Ming, but she was still very happy to be praised by Zhou Ming, because the purple ruffled sleeve slim evening dress she wore today was selected by her for several days, elegant and atmospheric, but not dignified, which is very in line with today's occasion. After all, as Zhou Ming's woman, she knows very well how rare today's opportunity is, and she doesn't want to be deducted points in terms of dressing.

"But I really didn't expect that Zhou Ming, you can really talk about moving those three families and join you to deal with the Addams family. Lin Muqing said with emotion.

Zhou Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't say it's Sister Muqing, I didn't expect it to be so smooth." ”

Zhou Ming said that he remembered that last week, he visited three families in one day, went to Governor Edward's villa in the morning, went to Harvard's Principal Lawrence Office after lunch at noon, and went to the Lowell family's Auburn Castle in the evening, and persuaded them one by one.

It is precisely because they were persuaded that there will be today's meeting, which is the tone that Zhou Ming has set with Governor Edward, that is, to let the spokespersons of the three families gather together and discuss face-to-face.

As for the location in Rhode Island outside of Massachusetts, it is because of their special status, as the three major families of the Brighton consortium, it is undoubtedly too rampant to discuss how to deal with him under the nose of Adams. In addition to worrying about the intervention of the Adams family, there is no news from Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov, which also makes Zhou Ming worry about Lin Muqing's safety, so after thinking twice, Zhou Ming chose Rhode Island, an enclave in southeast Massachusetts.

Being able to convince the three families of Kendini, Lawrence and Lowell is an incredible miracle in Lin Muqing's eyes, and the same is true for Zhou Ming himself. After all, the three families and Adams all belong to the Brighton consortium, although there are big problems in the distribution of wealth and other things in the consortium, but in the end they are still one, to convince them to join him, Zhou Ming himself is not sure, at most Zhou Ming just has the idea of fighting, but the final result is just to win.

It is conceivable that he thinks so, but Zhou Ming still sighed and said: "It's just that the success of that day does not necessarily mean that it will be smooth today." ”

"Do your best, Zhou Ming, I believe that since you have come over smoothly that day, and even you have convinced the entire Lowell family, you can do the same today!" Lin Muqing said.

"I hope so. Zhou Ming said and took a sip of the drink, and then said to Lin Muqing, "Sister Muqing, since we are already here, let's relax ourselves now, what should come will always come, don't collapse yourself too tightly." ”

Then Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing to the beach, Zhou Ming changed into a swimsuit and went into the sea to swim, while Lin Muqing was worried about temporary makeup and hair, so he still didn't swim with Zhou Ming, so he sat on the shore.

Soon two hours passed, and at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the club's manager, Gilman, came over and asked, "Sir, Madam, may I ask if your guests have not arrived yet, and do we need to prepare lunch?"

Faced with this problem, Lin Muqing took the initiative to say: "Let's prepare some desserts and drinks first, Mr. Zhou just went swimming in the sea and needs to replenish his strength and water, as for other meals, I won't prepare them for the time being." ”

"Okay, but as a reminder, our meals are prepared as fresh, and if you miss the best time to eat, we will also count the loss caused by this to your bill. Gilman said.

"Got it, I don't need a hint about this. Zhou Ming said with a frown.

Gilman left to inform the kitchen, and Lin Muqing asked Zhou Ming: "I remember you said that you made an appointment with them today at noon, right? Why hasn't it arrived yet, is there something wrong in the middle? Do you want us to call and ask?"

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "I don't think they need to, if they can come, they don't need us to urge them at all, on the contrary, if they really encounter any problems, it is useless for us to call." So Sister Mu Qing, let's be more patient and wait. ”

As for Zhou Ming's patience and waiting, they waited here for four hours.

As the sun was already sinking into the sea, Manager Gilman came over again: "Sir and Madam, aren't your friends here yet?" It seems that your party is going to be postponed, but although you have not used most of the facilities in the club today, all the expenses will still be deducted as usual, and I need to tell you first." ”

"Didn't we already know this when we signed the contract? It seems that there is no need to say it again, right?" Zhou Ming asked.

Gilman smiled and explained: "I'm sorry for this, because we have never had Chinese guests here, and we will be more worried that you don't have enough money and will cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

Although Gilman's words were very tactful, Zhou Ming still understood very well that he just felt that the Chinese were poor and would deal with him.

"Don't worry, I won't owe you a penny for what I should pay. Zhou Ming said.

"If that's the case, of course it's for the best. Gilman said, "In addition, Mr. Zhou Ming still needs to wait? Our contract does not include nights, and if Mr. Zhou Ming waits, he needs to continue to renew his contract." ”

"Then renew the contract, I said, I won't lose a penny for the money I should pay. Zhou Ming emphasized again.

Gilman, who got the answer, left satisfied, looking at the back of his departure, Lin Muqing said very unhappily: "This Gilman is too proud, right?

Zhou Ming sighed and said: "This is what Americans look at.Chinese, in their impression, Chinese are poor ghosts, that is, they will have a small belly and chicken intestines and pounds without any concept of contract, so be it today, Sister Mu Qing, don't be angry, anyway, it is estimated that we will not come here again in the future, and we can't be angry with such a guy who looks down on people." ”

Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were talking, but when they saw Gilman coming over again, Lin Muqing asked him angrily: "Didn't I make it clear to you just now? What are you still doing?"

"I want to tell you sir and lady that we have just received the news, maybe the guest you have been waiting for is coming. Gilman said, his eyes a little strange.

Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing didn't understand Gilman's eyes, but when they followed Gilman to the port, they understood.

A shrill roar came from a distance, and as far as the eye could see, a red and white amphibious plane was landing on the surface of the sea and heading towards the shore.

"Oh my God, this is a limited edition amphibious aircraft from the Bell Company, it is said that this kind of aircraft has never been put on public sale, only given to some very high-ranking people by the Bell Company, I have never seen such an aircraft in a long time at the club, sir, is this the guest you are waiting for?" said Gilman in surprise.

In the face of Gilman's surprise, Lin Muqing stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Ming's arm, and at the same time raised her eyebrows and replied to Gilman: "That's right, that's an important person in the Lawrence family." ”

"Is the Lawrence family of the Brighton consortium?" asked Gilman, stunned.

Lin Muqing nodded proudly and said yes, this answer made Gilman gasp, and at the same time subconsciously straightened his waist, not respecting Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing, after all, it is definitely an important figure of the Lawrence family who can appear so luxuriously, and these two Chinese can invite important people of the Lawrence family, and their identities will obviously not be simple.

Fortunately, I didn't say anything too excessive before, so I still have to pay attention to respecting them more in the future.

Gilman thought so in his heart, but he didn't know that this was just the beginning, and he still didn't think enough about Zhou Ming.

As he spoke, he saw that the amphibious plane had slowly docked on the shore, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing stepped forward to greet him, and sure enough, Harvard's principal Lawrence stepped off the plane, and he took the initiative to hug Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing warmly: "I'm sorry for the delay in the middle and the long wait." ”

"It's okay, we understand, and you're the first to arrive, Mr. Lawrence. Zhou Ming said.

"Really, and such a thing, those guys are so unpleasant!" said Lawrence, a little annoyed.

"It's fine, but I'm sure they'll come, so I'll take Mr. Lawrence for a while. ”

Zhou Ming said and took Lawrence to the restaurant at the back, but as soon as they sat down, Gilman came over to inform them that someone had arrived again, of course, this time Gilman's attitude was much more respectful than before.

It's just that Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing didn't have time to care about his change of attitude now, they came to the port with Lawrence, and saw a luxury cruise ship not far away sailing on the white waves.

Looking at this cruise ship, Gilman was surprised again: "My God, this ship is a unique cruise ship of Phoenix Shipyard, it is completely used to demonstrate the company's advanced technology, I have only seen the concept at the Phoenix Company Expo, and I have never heard of who this cruise ship is on sale, even many rich people can't get their hands on it, is this also your guest?"

This time, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing didn't have time to speak, Lawrence snorted coldly first: "This little dwarf of the Lowell family just likes to engage in these flashy things! Do you think it's great to have a stake in Phoenix?"

Almost before Lawrence's words fell, he saw a sudden roll of waves on the surface of the harbor, and a huge shadow gradually rose from the bottom of the sea.

Gilman was so surprised that he could barely close his mouth this time, and he pointed to the other side and stammered, "Submarine, is that a large private submarine?"

Looking at the uncalm sea, Zhou Ming said with a smile: "It seems that this time it's the Kendini family, and only they, the presidential family, can afford to play this thing." ”
