"Zhou Ming, let me introduce to you, this is the secretary of the Xijiang Municipal Party Committee......" Lin Chengze replaced his father and introduced the guests to Zhou Ming one by one.

At the beginning of the birthday banquet, Old Man Lin went in to rest, and the rest of the people had no intention of eating and drinking, and they did not come here to eat something, but to socialize.

Zhou Ming has undoubtedly become the most dazzling existence.

Although not all of the people present are eager to participate in the second boutique auction of the two auction houses, the number of people who want to participate will not be small, and everyone wants to get a precious invitation.

If you want to get an invitation, you naturally have to start with Zhou Ming.

However, Zhou Ming even dared to directly reprimand the head of the Chu family, which can be described as bold, even if they were hot at the invitation, they would not ask for it directly, so they just rushed to make friends with Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming did not disappoint them, and promised that he would send someone to send an invitation letter in the future, and the people who could appear at Old Man Lin's birthday banquet would be either rich or expensive. He is also a well-known figure in Dongchuan Province, and he is indeed eligible to receive an invitation letter; Not now, of course.

Not to mention that he didn't have extra invitations with him, and even if he did, he wouldn't hand them out immediately.

The invitations sent out now are all for a reason, Zhou Jianmei and Hu Tianyou needless to say, they are for trading.

Li Tiancheng's invitation letter was also sent a long time ago, followed by the Lin family, both of which are closely related to Zhou Ming.

As for the others, if they want an invitation, just wait.

Zhou Ming's promise will be fulfilled, but it will definitely be much later in time, otherwise how can the special person who got the invitation letter in front of him be reflected.

As soon as the Chu family left, there was no discordant factor, and the birthday banquet ended in a harmonious atmosphere, and it was getting late. Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to leave.

This is the residence of Old Man Lin, Lin Zhen and his son live in other places, but they haven't left yet.

"Zhou Ming, my dad has something to look for you." Lin Chengyuan found Zhou Ming and told Lin Zhen about what he wanted to see him.

Zhou Ming nodded.

In the living room, Lin Zhen sat on a chair like a javelin, with a serious expression, and when he saw Zhou Ming coming in, he nodded and signaled.

"Sit."

Zhou Ming naturally wouldn't be polite to him, and saw a pot of tea on the coffee table. Reaching out and pouring himself a glass, he sipped it gently.

Looking at Zhou Ming's movements, Lin Zhen's eyes flashed. But he didn't say anything to stop it.

"Zhou Ming, are you an evolutionary?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Poof~"

Zhou Ming almost squirted out a sip of tea, a little embarrassed, although he already knew something about Lin Zhen's character, but it was so straightforward. It's still a bit of a surprise to go straight to the point, but such a person is undoubtedly easier to communicate.

"Uncle Lin heard from Cheng Yuan that we are outside the residential area, and we have a conflict with Song Guan and Chu Potian, right?" Wiping the corners of his mouth, Zhou Ming said lightly.

Lin Zhen snorted. Before, he heard Lin Chengyuan say that Zhou Ming knocked Song Guan back, and he was extremely shocked in his heart. As soon as the people of the Chu family left, they immediately grabbed Lin Chengyuan and asked him to explain what happened in detail, and only then did this conversation happen.

"I'm an evolutionary." Zhou Ming admitted with a relaxed expression.

It was impossible for him to say that he was a cultivator. That's my biggest secret, but I'm also different. has extremely strong strength, in a way that Lin Zhen and others can understand, then, he is an evolutionary, a very special evolutionary.

Hearing this, Lin Zhen's face also showed a little excitement.

"I really didn't expect it."

"Uncle Lin? I'm very strange, you seem to be very jealous of that Song Guan before? Zhou Ming also asked his own question, which was also what he didn't understand.

At that time, with Chu Tianxiang's energy alone, it was impossible to forcibly ask Zhou Ming to give gifts in the Lin family's place, and it was after Song Guan's identity was revealed that it had that effect, although he understood the power of the evolutionary, but in terms of the impact on the world, Zhou Ming still wanted to know more, and with Lin Zhen's identity, he would know a lot.

"I'm really jealous." Lin Zhen nodded, his expression solemn.

"You should also know that there are all kinds of large and small forces in China, dividing the world, and each other has their own territory, not only our Huaxia, but also the whole world." Lin Zhen said.

Zhou Ming nodded, for example, the three major families in Linhai Province, and the Lin family and the Chu family in Dongchuan Province, all have their own territories.

"The forces in various places, there are strong and weak, some places are rich, some places are poor, they can also be divided into various levels according to various standards, the worst is of course not into the stream, followed by the third-rate forces, second-rate forces, first-class forces, and the most mysterious top forces, your three families in Linhai Province, and our Lin family, and the Chu family, of course, are the former Chu family, placed in the whole country, they can't be regarded as first-class families, at most second-rate." Lin Zhen smiled bitterly.

"What?" Zhou Ming was taken aback.

To say that the three families in Linhai Province are second-rate forces, Zhou Ming believes it, but how can the Lin family and the Chu family be possible?

The Lin family is much stronger than the three families in Linhai Province, otherwise how could they suppress the Ning family so badly, how could they belong to the same level.

"Are you thinking about the last time we suppressed the Ning family?" Lin Zhen guessed what Zhou Ming thought.

"Uncle Lin, please." Zhou Ming said.

"The suppression of the Ning family is because my father came forward and his old man has accumulated contacts, but he can't use it repeatedly, so such a thing can't happen many times."

"They are both second-rate families, and there are also superior and inferior, our Lin family and Chu family, because there are two old men with extraordinary energy, so they are considered the top forces in the second-rate family, and the three major families in Linhai Province are even worse." It seemed that it was rare to say so much, Lin Zhen had a dry mouth after speaking, and he also poured himself a cup of tea and drank a few sips.

"So, what is a first-class force?" Zhou Ming hurriedly asked.

"Evolver." Lin Zhen said word by word.

"Only the power that has an evolutionary can be regarded as a first-class force, of course, the force must also have pillar industries to match in other aspects, it can be in the political and business worlds, it can be in the military, or you have to be rich enough, etc."

"Our Lin family and Chu family are comparable to first-class forces in other aspects, but because there are no evolutionaries, they are second-rate forces, but the current Chu family is not." Lin Zhen smiled bitterly.

This was the reason why he was shocked when he heard that Song Guan was an evolutionary and joined the Chu family.

"Is the power of the Evolver so great?" Zhou Ming said strangely.

"Of course." Lin Zhen's expression was very solemn.

"Evolutionaries also have strength and weakness, those powerful evolutionaries, ordinary firearms can't deal with it at all, if they offend such a first-class force, as long as they let that evolutionary make a move, they can kill all the opponents overnight, there is such an enemy around, it is extremely dangerous, who can not be afraid." There was a deep fear in Lin Zhen's eyes.

"How dare he? Not afraid of attracting retaliation from the state apparatus? Zhou Ming said coldly, you know, the reason why he has a lot of scruples is because he is worried about attracting a comprehensive blow from the state apparatus, which is not something he can bear.

Lin Zhen laughed when he heard this: "State machine? It's in the hands of those big forces, and they will use it against themselves? Is it still going to cause a world war?"

"Those forces have long had agreed rules and regulations with each other, and they will not easily use the state apparatus to deal with each other."

Zhou Ming was stunned.

Without the threat of the state machine, there is no doubt that the role of the evolutionary with super personal strength is greatly reflected, and the evolutionary Zhou Ming does not know enough, but in terms of his earth cultivation alone, he will be strong in the future, and he will not be afraid even in the face of the state machine.

At that level, the competition is the strength of high-end power.

"Our Lin family has a lot of strength in the military, and what we lack now is a powerful evolutionary." Lin Zhen looked at Zhou Ming and said seriously: "Zhou Ming, are you willing to join the Lin family?" ”

"For you, with our Lin family behind your back, who else dares to covet your things?"

"For our Lin family, we can become a first-class force."

"It's a win-win."

Zhou Ming thought about it very seriously, and finally shook his head and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, please forgive me for not being able to agree, but the Lin family and I will always be friends and allies." ”

Indeed, joining the Lin family is a shortcut, but it is also a constraint, which restricts Zhou Ming's future growth, and since then he has been labeled as the Lin family, and the Lin family must be given priority in his future actions.

Zhou Ming doesn't want to rely too much on others, what belongs to him is the best.

There are two conditions for becoming a first-class force, one is a pillar industry that is strong enough, and the other is an evolutionary.

Zhou Ming himself is a stronger and more promising cultivator than the evolutionary, and the pillar industry is undoubtedly the auction house.

Just imagine, when the auction houses in the two worlds grow bigger and bigger, and more and more affect everyone's nerves, the launch of every auction item will cause the whole world to go crazy and have such a great influence.

In this process, it will definitely attract a lot of covetousness, a lot of greed and strife, but Zhou Ming will make them realize that the strong strength they have will make the incoming offender's head bleed.

With a pillar industry with wide influence, coupled with Zhou Ming's strong strength, it is natural that it will become a first-class force or even stronger.

This is destined to be a road full of thorns, and it is also a bumpy and rugged road, but it is also the most suitable for Zhou Ming, he has a broad prospect that is unimaginable in this world, and it is not something that the Lin family can bind.

Zhou Ming didn't agree, Lin Zhen was a little disappointed, but is it an ally? It's a good result, not too disappointed.

"Uncle Lin, it's time for me to leave." Looking at the time, Zhou Ming stood up and said.

Lin Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "But the Chu family ......."

He knew that as soon as Zhou Ming left here, the Chu family would receive news.

Zhou Ming smiled slightly and did not speak, but the cold glint in his eyes flashed.
