After Eric went back, he didn't know how to tell his half-brother, but after a few days, he replied that a time had been arranged, and that Lin Zitan would take Eddie to meet Richard when the time came.

Lin Zitan told Eddie the good news, but Eddie began to hesitate when he heard it.

"What's wrong? You don't want to work with him again?"

Lin Zitan sat in Eddie's spacious and bright office, admiring the so-called American luxury, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

"It's not that I don't want to cooperate with him, I'm afraid that if this person sees such a potential project, he will directly kick the two of us and go it alone, after all, he doesn't lack the funds in our hands. ”

Add tapped his fingers on the tabletop, looking a little irritated.

"Then should we meet first to find out how this person is going before making plans? After all, with such a big project, it's not easy to bring someone in casually, what do you say?"

In fact, Lin Zitan also has concerns in this regard, if the partner is Eric, he at least knows some of his true temperament, but this Richard ...... Lin Zitan really didn't believe that this person would be a harmless good brother.

"Yes, we can't shake all the hole cards out, first know and understand the character of this person, although the outside world says that this person is a good old man, but often this kind of person can not be underestimated. ”

Add slapped the table one last time, and then pressed the previous uneasiness.

A week later, on a Saturday night, Eric took Eddie and his second half-brother to a trendy bar in New York.

Lin Zitan followed the usual principle, and arrived neither early nor late, who knew that as soon as he walked into the bar, he found that Eric was already waiting there.

"Hi Eric, I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive. ”

Lin Zitan walked over and shook his hand with a smile.

"I arranged this time, so naturally I have to come over earlier, and when I introduce you clearly, I will be so good. ”

Eric shook the cool hairstyle of the new haircut, and said easily.

"Need a seat?"

Lin Zitan doesn't usually come to the bar, so he is still a little uncomfortable with letting him stand at the bar and drink.

"Let's wait for everyone to come, now let's find a seat and sit there, how boring is it, what do you have to drink?"

With that, Eric found a wine list at the bar that people didn't use very often, and handed it to Lin Zitan.

"Let's have a glass of whiskey~"

Lin Zitan glanced inside the bar, the three bartenders were busy, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait for a cocktail at this time, so it was better to have a casual drink.

"A double shot!"

Before Lin Zi could speak, Eric had already knocked on the table and said to one of the bartenders inside.

"Okay, right away~"

I saw the bartender, while shaking the freshly covered cocktail glass, turned around and took the mug, found the blue label from the row of various label wines, looked up and asked:

"Do you want to add ice, sir?"

"A little bit~"

Although this wine is not bad to drink dry without ice, Lin Zitan didn't want to get himself drunk before Richard arrived.

"Hi ~ Daniel?"

As soon as Lin Zitan took the wine handed over by the bartender, he saw Eddie walking towards them in a rare casual manner.

"Hi, Add, this is my good friend Eric. ”

Lin Zitan saw Eddie coming over, and hurriedly helped Eric and Eddie to introduce him.

"Luckily~ Daniel often mentions you to me!" said Eddie politely.

"He rarely mentions you and your family to me, as if he's afraid I'm going to take advantage of him~" Eric joked.

"This kid is too real, he should have introduced us to each other earlier, I heard that your painting is very good, and I am saying that I will go to your place to appreciate it one day, and by the way, I will buy a pair for my wife as a wedding anniversary gift!"

As a small accomplished hotel investor, Eddie compared Lin Zi, who is not good at talking, as soon as he opened his mouth, and spoke appropriately and enthusiastically.

"You're welcome, I just have a small auction at the end of the month, so you can remember to go over and hold a show~"

Eric doesn't show any liking or dislike for Add's business etiquette, just candid.

"Daniel told me that he would be here then. ”

After the two of them finished greeting, Lin Zitan asked Eddie what he wanted to drink, and he asked Lin Zitan what he drank, and then said that he wanted the same cup.

The three of them each took a glass of wine and sat or stood in the corner of the bar, but their eyes swept towards the entrance from time to time, Eric was obviously a little embarrassed by Richard's such faceless lateness.

"This man has always been unpunctual~"

Eric muttered unpleasantly.

"It's okay, it's going to be long all night, wait slowly~"

After Lin Zitan finished speaking, he touched the cup with Eric and signaled him not to worry too much.

After another 40 minutes or so, just when Eddie was a little impatient, the guy named Richard finally walked in.

"I'm sorry, I had a temporary meeting just now~"

As soon as Richard arrived, he walked over and talked to Eric.

"I know you're busy, so I didn't rush you, and I'll introduce you, my good friend Daniel, and this is his brother-in-law, Eddie of the old Johnson family.

Daniel, Eddie, this is Richard. ”

Eric reluctantly pretended to be nonchalant.

"Hello, Add, we should have met before~"

As soon as Richard saw Eddie, he immediately stretched out his hand.

"I've seen it a few times, but unfortunately I've never had a chance to meet him~" Eddie reached out and shook him, revealing a faint smile.

"Now that you've all met, it's time for me to go, so you can talk about it yourself!"

With that, Eric turned around and said to the bartender to pay the bill, and pulled out his credit card and handed it over.

"Eric, I'll come, it just so happens that Richard hasn't ordered it yet, I'll buy it in a while." Lin Zitan hurriedly said.

"No need, I've set your location for you, there is a small private room in the innermost, and you have to clear the platform here before you can leave. ”

Eric didn't withdraw his credit card, waiting for the bartender to swipe it before he pointed to the innermost spot.

Lin Zi thought that three glasses of wine would not cost a few dollars, so he didn't insist any longer, and when the bartender handed the receipt to Eric, he took the initiative to tip the three people.

Eric took them to the box, and was about to turn to leave, when Richard, who was greeting Eddie, suddenly spoke:

"Let's go back and see grandpa, he's been very bad lately~"

"Got it!"

Eric listened to him, waved his hand, and walked away without looking back.

Lin Zi silently followed into the box, only to see Richard frowning quietly, and then chatted with Eddie again.

Don't look at the lively chat between the two people, in fact, they are still talking about the recent weather and where to go for sea fishing in summer after chatting for a long time.

"Oh, by the way, this Eric's friend is related to you?"

After chatting for a while, Richard suddenly spoke as if he had just seen Lin Zitan with the wine that the waiter had just brought him in.

"Danie is my cousin's husband~" Eddie quickly replied.

"Cousin?oh~It's a relative of your mother, right?" said Richard affectionately.

"Oh no, it's a relative on my father's side. Eddie explained with a smile.

"Your father's side? I've only heard that Johnson Sr. has three grandchildren, why haven't I heard that you have sisters in your family?

Richard raised his eyebrows as he spoke, as if he didn't pay attention to Lin Zitan at all, and the sarcasm was very obvious.

"Oh, in fact, she is the daughter of my uncle who doesn't often appear in China~"

Add awkwardly continued, but his face was already a little unpleasant.

"Oh~haha~ I'm sorry, I was mistaken, and I thought other families were as complicated as mine!

You have also seen that my younger brother is very out of place, always doing his own thing, my father and I are heartbroken for him, hey, don't talk about it, drink and drink~"

Richard didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he acted like a good brother who hated iron but not steel!
