"Okay, okay! At worst, I won't say it in front of you!"

Zhou Tianlin laughed, asked Tang Songyuan to sit down, and asked: "When did Brother Tang come to Los Angeles, and how did he come to my eldest brother's territory?"

Tang Songyuan glanced at Zhou Muning, and then told the story about Zhu Zhixin again as appropriate.

"Damn it!"

After Zhou Tianlin heard this, he slapped the armrest of the seat angrily and said with great dissatisfaction: "Where did this Zhu Zhixin come from? He actually took Xiao Yue away for half a month. What did you do for food?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Zhou Muning's eyes, and she said: "I am also at fault for this matter. Xiaoyue said she was going out with a few friends. I didn't pay so much attention at first. When I found out that she had lost contact, it was already like this. ....."

Zhou Tianlin looked at Tang Song Yuan again and said:

"Thanks to Brother Tang for taking action today, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable..."

Tang Songyuan chuckled and said: "It's just a trivial matter. It just happened at the right time. I just didn't expect that Brother Zhou would have such a relationship with Miss Zhou."

Zhou Tianlin smiled slightly and said, "Brother Tang, have you ever heard of Daquan?"

Tang Songyuan shook his head and said: "No..."

Zhou Tianlin nodded gently and said: "In the 1960s and 1970s, my father's generation sneaked into Hong Kong Island. They swam over with swimming rings or tires, so they were called big circle boys."

"This is the origin of the big circle. Before the return of Hong Kong Island, my eldest brother Zhou Tianlong and second brother Zhou Tianhu were forced to develop in North America. It took decades to build the current family business."

"And I was young at the time, so I stayed in Hong Kong Island, grew up under the care of my father's glory, and started running a serious business..."

Simply put, don't put all your eggs in the same basket.

In that era, when Hong Kong Island first returned, there was a severe crackdown for a period of time. The once arrogant gangster Zhang Ziqiang was punished at that time.

So at that time, many big-time guys either wanted to clean themselves up, or left their hometowns to start a new business.

Tang Songyuan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the trees move the dead and the people move the living. Isn't it good that the trees are blooming everywhere now?"

Zhou Tianlin also smiled and said: "You're right, I'm borrowing Brother Tang's good words."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Muning and said, "Xiao Ning, you still don't know the gold content of Brother Tang's Stone King?"

Zhou Muning curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "What's so great about it?"

Zhou Tianlin chuckled and said, "Let me tell you this, the jade business your third uncle and I are doing now is to select the pieces that may contain jade from thousands of jade raw materials."

"Only by a one-in-a-million chance can one cut out the best jade material. This top-quality jade material is extremely valuable, and a piece of it can make the rich flock to it."

"But everyone in the industry knows that it is difficult for an immortal to break an inch of jade. The last person who could break a jade with just one word was Brother Tang's master, and he was also the Stone King of the previous generation."

"If nothing else, Brother Tang will receive the highest courtesy in Hong Kong Island and many places in Southeast Asia just because of his title as Stone King..."

Tang Songyuan said humbly: "No, no, Brother Zhou, you praise me. Compared with my master, I am still far behind. I am lacking in skills, reputation and connections."

"Excessive humility is pride!"

Zhou Tianlin said seriously: "Brother Tang's miraculous jade-breaking technique, I saw it with my own eyes when I was in Pagan."

"Although Master Ji Qing's disciples are equally powerful, compared with Brother Tang, they are in the sky and on the earth."

Tang Songyuan smiled and said nothing, while Zhou Muning was a little surprised.

Her third uncle could be regarded as a big boss who was deeply involved in both black and white, but she had never seen him respect anyone so highly.

But I didn't expect that today's attitude towards Tang, Song and Yuan was so enthusiastic.

I just missed having him cut off the chicken head and burn it on yellow paper!

She said: "Is it really that powerful?"

Zhou Tianlin snorted twice and said, "You are talking nonsense!"

"Do you know what the name of a Stone King means?"

Before Zhou Muning could speak, he said to himself: "A stone king means immense wealth. Brother Tang can decide the life or death of a piece of jade wool with just one word."

"Let me give you an analogy. For example, if I spend 10 million to buy a piece of wool, but Brother Tang says it is worthless, then I can get rid of it before cutting it."

"Does this make up for a huge loss?"

"On the other hand, if Brother Tang says it has material, it will definitely increase in price, and its value will be even more immeasurable..."

After hearing this, Zhou Muning looked at Tang Songyuan differently.

Full of little stars and money.

Who in the world doesn’t love money?

Zhou Tianlin described Tang Songyuan as a super lucky mascot, and Zhou Muning couldn't help but be full of endless curiosity about him.

She looked at Tang Songyuan and said: "I'm regretting it now. If you lose, I don't want 10 million US dollars. I want you to work for me for three years!"

"Haha!" Tang Songyuan said: "It's obviously a bet..."

"But I don't care. I'm just afraid that in the future someone will say that the eldest lady of the Zhou family is unfaithful and cannot afford to lose!"

Zhou Muning said angrily: "You are trying to provoke the general!"

Zhou Tianlin knew nothing about the so-called bet between the two of them, and asked a little confused: "What bet did you two make?"

Zhou Muning briefly explained the bet she had just made with Tang Songyuan.

"Nonsense!" Zhou Tianlin said: "As a sister, how can you bet on your sister's health?"

But soon he changed the subject and said: "Besides, the most important rule in the road is honesty. If you go back on your words now, if this spreads, how can our Zhou family gain a foothold in the world?"

"I have made the decision on this matter. If you lose, you will serve Brother Tang according to the bet. If you dare not fulfill it, I will personally escort you!"

Tang Songyuan said quickly: "No, no, no, no. Brother Zhou said something serious. I just made a little joke with Miss Zhou."

"Whatever works or doesn't work, we should cooperate with each other and learn from each other's strengths..."

Zhou Tianlin wanted to say something else, but there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Muning shouted to come in, Huang Yong opened the door and came in, saying with a happy face:

"Good news, good news!"

"Uncle Tianlin, eldest lady, Xiaofei just called from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying that the second lady's condition is improving rapidly,"

"The virus that was infected on the body seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and now the person has woken up..."

Zhou Muning's face was uncertain, and she quickly gritted her teeth and said: "Prepare the car, let's go over and take a look now!"

But he was stopped by Zhou Tianlin. He looked at Zhou Muning seriously and said:

"I am willing to admit defeat. From now on, you will listen to Brother Tang for three years..."
