7. Look at the problem from both sides
Just when An Tong was hesitating whether to be serious with the waiter, there was a sudden sound of brakes behind him, followed by the sound of the car door closing, and finally the voice of a young man who was as arrogant as Meng Shao:
"Let these beautiful ladies in. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
A well-dressed blond young man walked up to An Tong with an equally well-dressed woman in his arms, nodded slightly to him, and then turned to the waiter and said, "You can talk about the rules for other admirals, but for this noble gentleman, we must make an exception." β
The waiter looked embarrassed and hesitated, but still maintained the due politeness and asked, "May I ask who you are?" β
Antong almost didn't laugh out loud...
Unexpectedly, the young man was not embarrassed at all, but continued to smile and said, "You don't know me, it seems that you will be punished for preparing refreshments for us later." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes trotted out of the store and said to the young man: "I'm sorry, Master Andre, although you informed us that we were going to receive a distinguished guest, we didn't know that you would come now..."
Looks like he's supposed to be in charge here.
After that, he hurriedly said with a smile: "She is new a while ago, and she doesn't know the rules here very well." β
The nobleman, who was obviously from the Victor family, waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, I've already punished her for preparing refreshments for us, now, can my friends and I go in?" β
"Of course, of course!" The middle-aged supervisor hurriedly dragged the waiter who was blocking the door aside, stretched out his hand and signaled, "Tailor Webster welcomes your visit." β
The young man glanced back at An Tong, cast a defiant look, and said, "Please, Lieutenant An Tong." β
"It's kind of interesting." An Tong grinned, and when he walked into the store with the ship girls, he motioned for the ship girls to throw things on the sofa at the door, and he took off the balloon on his wrist and handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "Please be sure to keep it for me." β
"Uh... The middle-aged man took the rope of the balloon with some embarrassment, and for a while he didn't know how to deal with this strange guest.
"Do as Lieutenant Antong says. A few more smart people will serve the ladies, and what you were told to do is done? The young man followed.
"It's done, it's done, but... Young Master Andre, if you are tried on by the ship's girls, the other guests may reject it..."The middle-aged supervisor asked cautiously again.
"Do you still need me to teach you such a simple question?" The young man's face showed a hint of impatience, "All the clothes that these ladies have tried are given to Lieutenant An Tong in my name. Okay, still have questions? β
"It's gone, it's gone." The middle-aged supervisor wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, turned around and greeted the ship's girls, "Ladies, please come with me... We-in-Webster Tailors have been around for 135 years and cover all categories of women's clothing..."
After the ship's girls got An Tong's willingness to leave, the young man said to An Tong: "Okay, now we can talk about business, please come with me." With that, he took the female companion beside him and walked towards the third floor.
An Tong followed him into a reception room with great interest - this is a room that is completely different from the style of the whole store, with Chinese benches, antique tea tables, and screens painted with ink landscapes, this is actually a typical Chinese style room, which seems incompatible with the whole store!
But this is the style that Antong admires the most.
After An Tong and the young man sat down on either side of the tea table, the waiter who was now blocking An Tong brought two ceramic tea bowls painted with moire, and a rich fragrance of tea overflowed through the gaps in the bowl lids, filling the entire room.
After signaling the waiter to go out, the young man smiled and said, "My name is Andrei, Andrey. Victor, the 8th heir of the Victor family, this is my companion, Aisha. β
"Compared to Meng Fengying, your style is much higher, and you are worthy of being a member of the Victor family with a surname." An Tong complimented, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and his eyebrows couldn't help jumping slightly.
Tea is China's Pu'er, Antong's favorite one, judging from the taste, this is not a particularly top-notch Pu'er, but it is not the cheapest one, which is very suitable for Antong's needs.
But it is precisely because of this that the vigilance in An Tong's heart was instantly raised to an unprecedented height - whether it was from the room layout or the choice of tea, it was obviously not an accidental coincidence.
However, An Tong has never mentioned his hobby to anyone, which shows that the other party's research on him has been very in-depth, and the current arrangement is to give An Tong a disadvantage.
Obviously, the previous Meng Shao and the Andre in front of him are not a high-grade figure at all, and such an opponent deserves to be treated with the greatest caution by An Tong.
Andre looked at An Tong's gradually sinking face, nodded with satisfaction, took a pad board from the female companion's hand, swiped his fingers on it, and said, "I know that Lieutenant An Tong is a direct person, so we might as well cut straight to the point." Lieutenant An Tong, what you have done in Africa has seriously infringed on the interests of the Victor family, and even indirectly killed our spokesperson in Africa, Meng Fengying, so the family sent me to talk to you..."
Hearing him say this, An Tong's originally serious expression suddenly relaxed a lot, waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked rhetorically: "Since you know me so well, you should know that there is no point in saying this kind of thing, let's get to the point." β
"Haha! Interesting! It's really interesting! AndrΓ© tossed the pad in his hand and said, "I spent S$200,000 to hire five psychologists to study you, and they speculated on your principles and interests, and drew up a conversation plan for me, ensuring that I will always maintain a strong position in the conversation with you..."
"Based on their inferences, you should have been on a state of tension and then asking me what the hell I wanted to talk to you about... In reality, however, you are not doing what they inferred. Andrei said calmly.
"Oh, it looks like your money was spent in vain." An Tong said with a smile, in his opinion, this so-called psychological speculation is no different from a liar.
"No, no, no!" Andre shook his head, "Your performance just proves that my money is well spent, if you are really someone who can see through those few liar experts, then my money is really wasted." β
"It's a little bit of money to you like change." An Tong leaned back in the chair relaxedly, supported his chin with one hand, and said a little boringly: "Why don't you just explain your intentions?" That Meng Fengying is the same, don't you Victor family like a more direct way? β
"For them, it may be, but I'm different from them. You may not believe it, but I was privately called a reckless fool by them, a brainless fool. Andrei smiled self-deprecatingly before he continued: "So they asked me to deal with you, a newcomer who is favored by both the First Admiral and the Fourth Admiral. β
"So you're here?" An Tong tilted his head and asked.
"Yes, I'm here. But it's not to get revenge on you..."Andre's body suddenly leaned forward, his blue eyes stared at An Tong tightly, and said, "Instead, I'm looking for an opportunity to cooperate with you." β
"Cooperation?" An Tong suddenly seemed to hear some funny joke, "You want to betray your family's instructions and want to cooperate with me?" β
"Lieutenant Antong, it's clear that you don't know enough about the Victor family." AndrΓ© shook his finger and said, "When I was sent by my father, everyone thought that my father wanted to use the hands of those two admirals to cleanse me of this reckless man, but they didn't realize that this was also a great opportunity for me to use the power of those two to cleanse them!" β
"We are a family that pursues interests, only those who can fight for the greatest interests of the family can become the real heirs, in front of interests, other things are not worth mentioning, and at the same time to obtain the friendship of the three bigsevens, this is the greatest interest of the Victor family, and I am fighting for this benefit for the family!"
An Tong listened to his words silently, pursed his mouth, stretched out his finger and pointed to his temple, and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Andre, do you have a problem here?" β
"Huh? Are you doubting my judgment? Lieutenant Antong, you may not realize what it means to be a bigseven? Do you think the Admiral can really only deal with the Deep Mist? β
"No, no, no, I have a clear understanding of the importance of the Admiral, there are only a special class of less than 30,000 people in the world, and they have the combat power to affect the situation in the world, and such a group of people is of course very important." An Tong said: "I'm just wondering where you got your confidence? Those two aside, as far as I'm concerned, why should I help you? You should know what happened at that trial in Africa, right? β
"Lieutenant Antong, I think you've mistaken a very important point, very, very important point." Andrei's finger pointed at the table, emphasizing, "What I mean by cooperation is cooperation in the true sense of the word, fairness, autonomy, each according to his needs, equality rather than subordination, I am completely different from those idiots who are used to enslaving the admiral!" β
"Are you serious? Mr. Andrey? An Tong looked at the heir of the Victor family in front of him in disbelief, he had heard about cooperation from the capitalists countless times, but everyone understood what that kind of cooperation meant.
In the eyes of the capitalists, the individual admiral is the absolute disadvantage.
"For capitalists like you, cooperation often represents the beginning of annexation, and the greedy nature of capital never allows you to have real partners." An Tong said.
"You're right, Lieutenant Antong." Andrei did not deny An Tong's statement at all, "But please don't forget that interests can betray people, but interests can also unite people." β
