Chapter 83: Patriarchy
"Mr. Zhou is so comfortable, but we and other laymen are disturbing your purity!"
Maybe Zhou Hao and Wu Zimo were not at the scene, the office meeting in the conference room on the third floor ended very quickly, and after the two had just finished the topic of tea, Elder Wang took the top two elders of the city and county governments to the balcony under the leadership of Yang Zhe.

"I'm just an idler, Elder Wang, please take a seat, everyone, I just need to change the pot of tea." Zhou Hao got up lightly and beckoned, and pointed to the vacant seat in the pavilion with his hands tied.
"I have long heard that the secret tea of the Zhou family is the top tea in China, but unfortunately the price is too expensive to drink, but this time I can be regarded as able to drink it." Elder Wang's eyes lit up after hearing Zhou Hao's greeting, and he hurriedly walked to the pavilion, sat opposite Zhou Hao, and looked at the white porcelain tea pot in Zhou Hao's hand and kept swallowing saliva.
Wu Zimo's face was hot and painful at this time, and even Yunnan Province, which was far away in the southwest, knew that the Zhou family's secret tea was expensive...... Isn't my heart too soft?
Zhou Hao smiled and reached out to pull the drawer on his side, "What kind of tea do Elder Wang and the leaders like to drink, green tea, black tea, black tea or rock tea?" ā
Elder Wang straightened his body, and five or six small porcelain jars were impressive, with the names of the tea leaves written in small blue letters on them, but when Elder Wang saw the font on one of the jars, his eyes narrowed slightly, "There is actually Yunnan red, can you taste this?" ā
"Huh! Elder Wang has good eyesight, this tea was produced from a thousand-year-old tea tree that I found when I was picking medicine in the mountains. After Zhou Hao heard Elder Wang's words, he took out the Yunnan black tea pot and gently placed it on the sea of tea.
Hearing this, the Great Elder of Dapu City's expression moved, and he was about to speak, but was glared at fiercely by Elder Wang. Zhou Hao pursed his lips after glancing at this person, "This tea tree is in Myanmar, I have asked my friend to buy that mountain to see if I can make a tea garden with the ancient tree as the mother tree." ā
The Great Elder of Dapu City had a stunned face after hearing this, and after glancing at Elder Wang, he lowered his head, but secretly regretted the performance he had just shown in his heart. He knew that his intention just now was not only noticed by the leader, but even the Mr. Zhou on the other side must have seen it, otherwise he would not have said the last sentence that seemed to be an ironic explanation.
The thousand-year-old tea tree is unfortunately in Myanmar...... What a shame!
Tea, soon brewed, a rich smell with honey and fruit fragrance appeared in the pavilion, several people in Yunnan Province looked at the white porcelain teacup in the bright red like orange, clear and bright tea soup in a daze, they as the top leaders at all levels in Yunnan Province, more or less have drunk the so-called best Yunnan red kung fu tea, but this pure to the extreme tea soup and strong tea fragrance is the first time to see.
Zhou Hao took out two small porcelain bottles with slender necks from a few miles and put them on the sea of tea, "It is best to add milk or sugar to Yunnan Red Drink, this bottle contains fresh milk and sugar, everyone is fine." ā
Elder Wang looked at the two vials and stretched out his thumb to Zhou Hao, didn't say anything, reached out and took the porcelain bottle containing the milk, poured a little fresh milk into the tea bowl, and then gently stirred it with a small spoon, picked up the tea bowl and put it to his mouth and drank it gently.
"Good tea!" Elder Wang stretched out his thumb again, "I have been in charge of Yunnan Province for many years, and I have heard many famous tea experts comment on Yunnan red, but today's drinking party found that saying all the praise words in my memory cannot best describe the taste of this tea!" ā
"Ha, you actually said it!" Zhou Hao smiled and pointed to the teapot with his finger, "There are fewer cups of wine for a thousand cups of confidants, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation." For tea, the biggest compliment is nothing more than the tea customer's phrase 'good tea!' āć ā
"Haha, that's true!" Elder Wang did not expect Zhou Hao to say this, most of the praise words of those famous Chinese crepe in the past describe their inner feelings, but what feelings can be compared to a heartfelt "good tea!" āć
After drinking a cup of tea, the atmosphere in the pavilion gradually became much more harmonious. Elder Wang is also a wonderful person, from astronomy and geography to the customs of Yunnan Province, he talks about it eloquently, which is more calm than many bigwigs Zhou Hao has seen.
In fact, Elder Wang's purpose in coming to Tai Po Village this time was twofold.
Taking the opportunity of the meeting between Wu Zimo and Zhou Hao to express Zhou Hao's gratitude to Zhou Hao in person is one of them, and the so-called vegetables grown by Zhou Hao in Wu Zimo's mouth are the second.
With his identity, he naturally doesn't need to be like an ordinary person to be grateful and sobbing to hold Zhou Hao's hand and say something of thanks, to be able to show up in Tai Po Village, sit down together to drink tea and chat like an old friend, and the gestures and signals he has transmitted are enough.
After ten brews of tea, Elder Wang saw that his secretary had already appeared at the staircase three times, and simply got up and said goodbye. "It's really fun to chat with Mr. Zhou. However, he is entangled in official business, and the people below have urged him several times, hoping to have the opportunity to drink Mr. Zhou's good tea next time. ā
"The world is bustling, who can really be idle? Just come and sit down when you have time! Zhou Hao didn't stay, but stood up and made a gesture of please.
Seeing Elder Wang and his entourage gradually moving away in the car, Wu Zimo reached out and put his mobile phone in front of Zhou Hao's eyes, "In 40 minutes, my father-in-law and Old Man Lin made more than a dozen calls to me, but I didn't answer." Now it's your sister-in-law's turn to ask me for tea, and it seems that she is still in a hurry. Did you do something? ā
"Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and I will spit out everything that eats me!" Zhou Hao didn't look at his phone, he reached out to cover the screen and pushed Wu Zimo's hand away, but he didn't hide it.
Lin Jianjun's house, Lin Jianjun sat on the sofa with a black face and didn't speak, in fact, he had nothing to say. Lin Lao, Lin Jianguo and Lin Guoliang have already said a lot.
"Jianjun, you have to do this. If you can't get these catties of tea, where will your eldest brother get so many liquidated damages to pay others. Lin Lao looked at his youngest son with a calm face. This thing is too coincidental, here Guoliang just signed a purchase order, and Wu Zimo ran out of goods.
"Dad, Zimo said that this tea Zhou Hao is out of stock, what's the use of me looking for Zimo?" Lin Jianjun sighed helplessly, and Wu Zimo also replied with a text message at the beginning, saying that Zhou Hao's side was out of stock, and then the phone had been unanswered, and asked Zimo's secretary, and his secretary said that the leader would accompany Zhou Dong to meet with Elder Wang of Yunnan Province.
"If you can't get it, you will lose money, who will pay for it?" Lin Guoliang heard that his uncle refused again, and he no longer behaved as a good baby, so he directly took a few pieces of paper and stuffed them into Lin Jianjun's hand, "Your family has money, give me this liquidated damages." ā
"Why?" Lin Jianjun was not polite, and directly threw these pieces of paper on the ground, "When I made money, I didn't see you give my family a penny." ā
"Build an army!" After seeing Lin Jianjun's angry and flushed face, Old Man Lin paused heavily on the crutches in his hand and roared.
"Doesn't make sense, does it? This tea was made by Zhou Hao for his friends to drink, and they didn't take it out and sell it for money. As a result, father, you are good, keep asking Zimo for tea, and then hand it over to Guoliang to go out and pour money. Now that something is wrong, you are in trouble with me again? Two catties of top-level Dahongpao, two catties of top-level Longjing, one catty of phoenix single bush, one catty of Taiping Monkey Kui, so bold, how much can this grade of tea produce in a year? Although I don't like Zhou Hao, this time I don't think it's anyone's fault! It's only been a few months, how much tea did Zimo get from him before and after and give it to his family? Don't say he doesn't have it, but even if he does, what can he do? ā
Lin Jianjun also had a rare and bold confrontation with his father. He has realized that after the truth is exposed this time, it is not clear that Wu Zimo will cut off the last line of family affection. People don't kill for themselves, maybe at this time, the best efforts to protect Zimo can still leave a glimmer of hope. After all, I have such a daughter under my knees, and looking at the virtues of the two sons of the eldest brother's family, it is a bit unreliable to rely on them to support the elderly in the future.
Lin Lao frowned after hearing his youngest son's words, what Lin Jianjun said made sense, but Lin Guoliang's contract had already been signed. Six catties of tea, 20 million Chinese dollars, and a fine of three times the default is 60 million. Not only will all the proceeds from the tea be lost during this time, but the eldest son's family will not be able to keep it. As for the non-recognition of the contract...... Lin Lao didn't even think about it, unless the Lin family didn't want to mix in the top circles of Huaguo, and they couldn't do such a tasteless thing as not admitting it.
The solution of this matter has to fall on the youngest son in the end, Lin Lao looked at Lin Jianjun and said, "Why don't your family help your eldest brother pay the liquidated damages, and wait for your eldest brother's family to pay you back, how about it?" ā
"How much can the eldest brother's family produce?"
"The money is all gone, and there are only more than two million left in the family!" Lin Jianguo looked at his little brother with a sincere face. Although he also felt some guilt in his heart when he said this, it immediately dissipated invisibly. For Lin Jianguo, it has become a habit to blackmail his little brother when he has nothing to do. At this time, what he thought in his heart was: how can the second child's money be cheaper than outsiders when the married daughter spills out, it's a big deal to wait for him to be a hundred years later, let Guoliang keep filial piety for a longer time.
"How's that all? Forget it, let's keep this money. Jianjun, you asked Yuhan for money, her business is so good now, it should be easy to take out 60 million, right? ā
"I'm not so thick-skinned!" After Lin Jianjun saw that his father was so biased, he was actually angry in his heart, and shook off a sentence without care, and then stood up and was about to go out.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that this unfilial son dared to disobey himself, Lin Lao angrily knocked his cane on his crutches.
"I'll take a good look at this home in the yard, maybe in a few days you want me to sell this pension house to help your grandson pay off his debts, and then I can have a good dream when I live on the streets!" Lin Jianjun walked outside the Wang house without looking back.
"Uncle, how can this house be sold for seventy or eighty million!" Lin Guoliang's voice behind him suddenly reached Lin Guodong's ears, making his back stiffen, and then he immediately walked out as if nothing happened. Behind the scenes, Lin Lao and the eldest brother did not have any opinions...... A lot of times, having no opinion is actually having an opinion.
Wu Zimo received a call from Lin Yuhan again, and glanced at Zhou Hao in embarrassment.
"Tell me the truth with my sister-in-law!" After Zhou Hao finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the building, let's see how Lin Yuhan handles this matter?
"What if Lin Yuhan insists on helping his uncle's family?" Wu Zimo, who was on the phone, returned to the pavilion upstairs, sat on the chair and took a sip of the teacup. He understood what Zhou Hao meant just now, and in fact, he did tell the truth.
"Ah Hao's housekeeper found that someone was auctioning Zhou's secret tea, and the amount was still very large. So Ah Hao decided not to give me tea anymore. ā
"You mean...... Grandfather? ā
"Lin Guoliang!"
"No wonder grandpa and uncle are so anxious to ask for tea? You don't care about this matter, if this group of old foxes at home don't give them some hardship, sooner or later something big will happen. Speaking of which, I, who was a sister-in-law, didn't have the face to see Ah Hao, what a shame......"
Zhou Hao suddenly laughed after hearing Wu Zimo selling guanzi, "Cold salad!" ā
