Hear Smith. Zhou's question, the middle-aged man driving the car was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully.

"No, Mr. Zhou. My host rarely uses such pomp and circumstance. He would only travel in this way on occasions of great importance. And it's like treating guests, and this is the first time you've enjoyed this kind of treatment. ”

"So I should thank your master for looking at me so differently?"

Smith. Zhou Hehe smiled and said to him like this. From his tone, it is not difficult to hear his provocative meaning. Apparently, he was deliberately embarrassing the middle-aged man driving in front. But the middle-aged man was not moved at all, but always maintained a humble, but by no means flattering, and responded to him.

"No, sir. The reason why I invite you with such courtesy is because you deserve such an attitude from my master. Not everyone deserves such an attitude from the Morgans. Only a strong man like you is worthy of my master to do this. According to my master, this is the most basic respect that a strong person has for another strong person. Respect for you is the same as respect for himself! ”

"Interesting statement."

Smiled and nodded, Smith. Zhou did not continue to dwell on the issue. This middle-aged man said it very clearly. Respect is mutual, if you continue to entangle yourself like this. Then I'm afraid it's a little too uninteresting.

And looking at Smith. Zhou was silent. This middle-aged man's heart inevitably breathed a sigh of relief. Smith. Zhou doesn't look like one of those superheroes who hide their heads and tails. His image is not a secret to many people. And as a person who has served the Morgan family for half his life, this middle-aged man naturally knows Smith better. Zhou is powerful and terrifying.

It can be said that in his heart, his current situation can be described as an ant carrying a dragon. has been able to maintain such an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, which is already because he has been desperately persevering with years of cultivation.

And before he could even out his breath. Smith. Zhou's sudden voice made him involuntarily lift his heart again.

"How many years have you worked for the Morgan family?"

A very common question, it is too mild compared to the embarrassing words that preceded it. So the middle-aged man had no place to hesitate, and directly gave his own reply.

"Our family has served the Morgan family for four generations, starting with my great-grandfather. I have been working as a housekeeper for my master since I was twenty years old, and I have been working for my husband for exactly sixteen years now. And from my great-grandfather to my generation, it has been almost 150 years old. ”

Four generations, almost one hundred and fifty years. This means that each generation of his family has served the Morgan family for almost forty years. And what does forty years mean, it means that a young man in the prime of life has become an old man with gray temples.

Not everyone can do it for so long, and not every family can continue to do the same work for generations. In the middle-aged generation, he is still serving the Morgan family. This already shows that their family is completely tied to Morgan and has become a part of Morgan.

It's a rarity. For even those nobles of the European continent would not have served them for generations. This can only show that Morgan's heritage is really strong and admirable. Of course, Smith. Zhou saw more than that, what he saw was the identity and status of the middle-aged man in front of him.

Although he is not a member of the Morgan family, he has been able to serve the Morgan family for sixteen years, and this is under the premise of being the housekeeper of the Morgan family. He must have a very important position. It can be said that even if he is not the right-hand man of the Morgan family as a pillar, he is also a first-class henchman.

Such a person must know something that others don't know. So immediately, Smith. Zhou asked him like this.

"To be able to serve the famous Morgan family for 150 years, I think you must be very important to the Morgan family. I think the current generation of Morgan parents must be very important to you. Then I want to ask you, do you know what your host invited me to the banquet for? Could this be a feast? ”

Although he is a subordinate like a housekeeper, the middle-aged man is serving the world's top family like Morgan after all. So, even Smith. Zhou told an allusion that was very cold to Americans, but he still understood the meaning of his words.

This made him immediately tremble and force a laugh.

"You're kidding, guest. My master just admires your heroic deeds and wants to take this opportunity to make friends with you and talk about cooperation and the like. How can it be said that it is specially set up for the Hongmen banquet to target you? ”

"I know, I'm just kidding. Don't take it personally! ”

Saying this with a smile, Smith. Zhou stopped talking to the middle-aged man. And the middle-aged man who was afraid that he would fall into such a difficult situation again, stepped on the accelerator under his feet hard and accelerated his speed.

He was so scared. So now he can only speed up his own speed, wanting to get this special guest to his destination as soon as possible. And thanks to his efforts, the motorcade belonging to the Morgan family finally arrived at a manor in the suburbs.

Unlike most of the manor houses in Beverly Hills. This massive estate was not built in the famous Beverly Hills, but in a deserted and rarely populated area. But that doesn't change its value. Huge and stately buildings, vast and lush courtyards, and a man-made lake. makes it definitely not worth less than any Beverly Hills mansion, and even more so, absolutely.

It can be seen that the owner of this estate is definitely a person who likes to be quiet. Otherwise, with his financial resources, he could have the best mansion in the most luxurious area of Los Angeles. Of course, you can also understand that liking to be quiet means something else. For example, the habit of hiding in the shadows and so on.

Since the Morgan family fell from the top, it has been almost impossible for them to climb back into the position they once occupied. Although Morgan is still the most influential family in the world, it is far from the time when Peabody was alive.

They can't even take back their rightful voice to JP Morgan. Not to mention dominate the direction of the entire Morgan consortium. Therefore, compared with those who stand on the table and call for wind and rain, the only thing they can do is to hide in a dark corner and secretly use sneaky means to calculate everything.

Smith. Zhou actually doesn't think much of such a guy. But since they chose to emerge from the shadows at this time, he didn't mind and went to see what they were trying to do.

This thought gave him patience, and he followed the middle-aged butler's guidance all the way to the manor's dining room.

At this time, the table in the restaurant is already set with exquisite tableware and appetizers. At the same time, an old black-haired man who looked a little gloomy was already sitting there, waiting for Smith. The week is coming.

Smith. Coming in on Monday, the old man got up from his seat. He stepped forward courteously and shook Smith affectionately. Zhou's hand showed a friendly smile at him.

"I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, my friend. I'm so sorry that I didn't make up my mind to invite you until today. You must be confused why I am inviting you at this time! ”

"Indeed, I was confused. Because I know very well that there was no intersection between us before this. So I don't understand, what is the reason that drives you to come and meet with me at this time? ”

Nodding, Smith. Zhou said his problem straight to the point. As for his question, the old man did not answer immediately, but stretched out his hand and said to him affectionately.

"I'll tell you that later, my friend. Before that, please take a seat. In order to prepare today's dinner, I have brought in the best chefs from France. His handmade snails and veal steaks are some of the best in the world. Add to that a bottle of Patus that I just received, and I think it should be satisfying. ”

Smith. Although Zhou was a little impatient with the procrastination of the old man in front of him, he still had the patience to eat a dinner. So he sat down in the guest's seat and enjoyed the somewhat strange dinner with peace of mind.

For him, dinner was a bit of a treat. As the old man of the Morgan family said, the chef's craft is indeed a magic that everyone is amazed by. Coupled with the best wines from the Bordeaux region, this meal is truly a treat.

And when the wine and food are full, it is confirmed that Smith. After Zhou had no other requirements, the old man clapped his hands and said to the housekeeper.

"Owen, you can go out first. Also, don't let anyone in without my permission. ”

"Yes, sir!" Glancing at the old man with some hesitation, the middle-aged butler named Owen bowed and withdrew. It wasn't until he heard the door slam shut that the old man stood up and looked at Smith seriously. Zhou said.

"I'm sorry, my friend. I forgot that I hadn't had time to introduce myself. Here I need to add to you. My name is John. John. Vince. Morgan. He is the current head of the Morgan family and the grandson of Morgan. ”

If Peabody was the founder of the Morgan empire, Morgan was the pinnacle of that empire. Morgan used to be the creditor of the whole world. A quarter of the companies in the United States belong to the Morgan consortium, and the glory was born in his hands. The Morgan family also began to officially continue as a top family in him.

Therefore, after Morgan, he will always add a connection with him in his self-introduction. In this way, they are proving their lineage and nobility. And that's in Smith. In Zhou's eyes, it was as ridiculous as the so-called famous dog on the Famous Dog Exchange with his pedigree in his mouth to prove himself.

And now, he is indeed smiling very unkindly.
