Tang Jie said to Liu Yi with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, I almost forgot to introduce it, this is my father, Tang Lun, this is my mother Lu Mei." ”
"Hello Mr. Tang, hello Mrs. Lu." Liu Yi nodded to the two and said.
Tang Jie's parents looked at Liu Yi from top to bottom, as if they wanted to see through Liu Yi, not only made Liu Yi uncomfortable, but even Tang Jie on the side couldn't stand it.
"Dad, Mom, don't look at people like this!" Tang Jie said angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Tang Lun hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, please come to the restaurant, dinner is ready." ”
As he spoke, Tang Jie's parents led Liu Yi towards the restaurant. When they came to the dining room, a table of exquisite banquets had already been prepared, and several servants stood against the wall in straight dresses, each without squinting, even when everyone entered the dining room, they did not turn their heads to look.
Although Liu Yi has also participated in many banquets, it is the first time that someone like the Tang family still follows the ancient etiquette, and he can't help but feel a little nervous, lest he make a mistake in etiquette and be laughed at.
However, Tang Lun doesn't seem to care about this, and his behavior looks similar to that of ordinary people, while Tang Jie's mother, Lu Mei, has a very elegant demeanor and does look like an upper-class person.
Everyone sat down, but the main seat at the top was empty, Tang Jie saw Liu Yi's face showing a curious look, so he whispered, "That's my grandfather's position." ”
"Doesn't your grandfather eat?" Liu Yi asked.
"He's too old to go to the banquet, I hope you'll forgive him." Tang Jie said.
Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Where is it, how can I be qualified to blame him for the old man." ”
Soon the servant poured wine for the people, and all sorts of fine dishes were brought to them, while the various foods that had been placed on the table were removed.
Liu Yi was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he stuffed his head and enjoyed these exquisite foods, and Tang Jie's family of three didn't say anything, just ate silently.
Liu Yi knew that some big families were not allowed to speak during meals, presumably the Tang family had this kind of rule, otherwise no one would speak.
This meal was very awkward for Liu Yi, although the dishes were very delicious, but Liu Yi didn't taste much.
After a short time, when everyone had finished eating, the servants removed the feast and poured coffee for everyone, and then Tang Lun finally spoke.
"I heard that your mecha won the fighting competition at this air show?" Tang Lun asked after taking a sip of coffee.
Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's right, our fighter mecha won the championship, thanks to Tang Jie for designing such an excellent mecha." ”
Lu Mei asked, "Then you must have got a lot of orders, right?" ”
"It's a lot, but we're also worried about it, there are too many orders, and our production capacity can't cope with so many orders for a while, so we hope to find manufacturers who can cooperate with us to complete these orders." Liu Yi didn't intend to hide it, and told the situation.
"So that's the case, but it doesn't seem very authentic for you to do this, originally there was an agreement between us, but because you unilaterally violated the agreement, now we can only resort to law." Tang Lun looked very relaxed when he said this, and he didn't seem to regard this matter as a serious incident at all.
Liu Yixin said: "Sure enough, I knew that this matter would not be able to get around." ”
"Mr. Tang, you can't say that, there is indeed an agreement between us, and we have abided by the agreement, as for the mecha in the competition, we launched a finished mecha, not a prototype, so I don't think we have violated the contract." Liu Yi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Tang Lun shook his head and said, "Legally, you can indeed take advantage of this loophole, but doing business is not just a matter of violating the contract." If you do this, we can only respond, otherwise other manufacturers will follow suit, how will we stand in the future? ”
"If you talk about this layer, Starlink only bought 10 prototypes and wanted to send us away, so it doesn't seem to be very kind, right?"
When Tang Lun heard Liu Yi say this, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his gentle appearance suddenly became cold and fierce.
"Looks like you're going to fight us to the end?" Tang Lun asked in a threatening tone.
"No, I don't want to fight with the Star Alliance, but the Star Alliance also wants us to live, otherwise ......"
"How else?" Tang Lun asked sharply.
"Otherwise, we can only find another way to find other collaborators, after all, Starlink is not the only big company that manufactures mechas." Liu Yi replied forcefully.
"Hahaha...... You're so young! Tang Lun suddenly burst out laughing, and even Lu Mei laughed along.
Liu Yi was annoyed for a while, and said secretly: "What's so funny, without your Star Alliance, no one would dare to be a mecha?" ”
Tang Lun said with a smile: "I won't tell you, as long as our Tang family says a word, I guarantee that no mecha manufacturer or buyer will dare to do business with you, do you believe it or not?" ”
These words completely ignited the anger in Liu Yi's heart, and there were some things he knew he shouldn't say, but he couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and blurted out: "I don't believe this!" Even if no one in the empire dares to cooperate with us, there is not only one empire in this universe, there are people in addition to the empire, and I don't believe that no one else wants our mecha except the empire! ”
Tang Lun was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "...... you What do you mean? ”
"Isn't there still the Free Alliance? Aren't there many colonies that refuse to submit to the Empire? Have you all forgotten? Liu Yi asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Tang Lun's face darkened, and he put the coffee cup in his hand on the table heavily, and the liquid in the cup immediately splashed out, dyeing the snow-white tablecloth into a brown color.
"You're so daring! Dare to talk to me like that! Tang Lun said angrily: "I only need to say a word, and your corpse will appear on the street tonight!" ”
"Dad! Don't do that! Tang Jie couldn't hold back anymore and said loudly.
In fact, Tang Jie wanted to persuade the two of them just now, but the Tang family's rules are very strict, and the younger generation can't interject when the elders speak, so Tang Jie has endured it until now.
If Tang Lun hadn't threatened Liu Yi and wanted Liu Yi to be dead on the street, Tang Jie would not have risked breaking the family rules to dissuade him.
Tang Lun glared at Tang Jie and shouted, "Adults speak, there is no part for you to interject!" ”
Tang Jie's mother, Lu Mei, is also a tough person, seeing that Liu Yi did not back down in front of her husband, she was also angry in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "If you really dare to deal with the rebels, our Tang family promises that we will make Jieyi's military industry bankrupt within three days, do you want to try?" ”
Liu Yi saw that the words had already come to this point, and it was useless to talk softly, so he just forgot about it.
"Madame is right, the Tang family does have such strength, but I can also guarantee that if Jieyi goes bankrupt, he will definitely pull Starlink into the water together." Liu Yi said.
"You...... What a scoundrel you are! Lu Mei scolded.
"I'm sorry, I was forced by you too!"
At this time, Tang Jie finally broke out, slapped the table and said angrily: "Liu Yi! You can't talk to my parents like that! ”
Seeing Tang Jie so angry, Liu Yi also regretted it a little in his heart, but now there was no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "If my attitude is not good, please forgive me, but I don't regret what I said." If the Tang family really did this, I would have no choice but to fight back. ”
"You can't say a few words!" Tang Jiedao.
"Okay, since you won't let me speak, then I have to leave!" Liu Yi stood up suddenly.
"Wait, don't go yet." Tang Jie saw that Liu Yi was leaving, so he hurriedly stopped Liu Yi and said.
"Xiao Jie, don't stop him, let him go!" "I'm going to see if he survives tonight!" ”
Tang Jie looked at Liu Yi and then at his parents, tears were about to fall, and he said in a pleading tone: "Can you calm down, can you say something good?" ”
Tang Lun snorted coldly and said, "I have nothing to say to this kind of scoundrel, let him get out of here immediately!" I never want to see this guy again! ”
"Dad......" Tang Jie's voice was already crying, and tears were rolling back and forth in his eyes, and he could burst out at any time.
Liu Yi saw that Tang Jie's face was full of grievances, and his heart had softened a little, but Tang Jie's parents had already let him go, so why was he embarrassed not to leave, unless he was really shameless.
Liu Yi sighed secretly and said to Tang Jie: "The timing is not good today, I'd better go first, and I'll talk about it when I have time later." ”
After speaking, Liu Yi pushed Tang Jie's arm away and walked straight out.
Tang Jie saw that Liu Yi insisted on leaving, and knew that he couldn't keep him, so he had to ask, "Where are you going?" ”
In fact, Liu Yi didn't know where he was going now, so he said casually: "I'll go visit my mentor first, and I'll contact you later." ”
At this moment, the housekeeper Fu Bo happened to walk into the restaurant, nodded to everyone, and said, "The old man has invited Mr. Liu." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three members of the Tang family showed a look of surprise, as if they had heard something incredible.
"Fauber, are you telling the truth?" Tang Jie asked.
Fu Bo nodded and said, "That's exactly what the old man said, let me take Mr. Liu to his study." ”
Tang Lun and Lu Mei glanced at each other and asked almost at the same time, "Didn't the old man say anything else?" ”
Fu Bo's mouth moved slightly, and he looked like he wanted to say something, Tang Lun and the others were very familiar with this, and knew that Fu Bo must have something to say.
"Fauber, if you have something to say, just say it, it's okay." Tang Lun said.
Fauber nodded and said with some difficulty, "Yes...... The old man did have something to say, and he asked me to talk to the gentleman......"
"What do you want to tell me?"
The old man said...... Said sir...... What a rubb...... You can't do anything......" Fauber said, slurring.
Hearing this, Tang Lun's face suddenly turned red, and Lu Mei's face suddenly turned pale. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
