After Zhou Rui sat down, he seemed to be extremely familiar with all of this and started to fiddle with the other things. Very soon, the waiter walked in again. Besides putting down a small ceramic pot, there were also a few exquisite pastries and dried fruits.

Very quickly, the water started to boil. Zhou Rui did not pretend to borrow someone's hand, but personally washed the tea sets. Zhou Rui's movements were very fluid, giving off a feeling of being pleasing to the eyes, as if he was a temperament that only a professional tea master would possess.

As Zhou Rui fiddled with the tea set in his hand, he said slowly, "This tea is the factory's address, Old Dragon Well Mountain. Although it isn't as good as Lion Peak Mountain, it still doesn't taste anything."

Yan Er curled her lips and said, "Young Master Zhou didn't take out the best. I heard that you had the tea leaves from those eighteen trees.

Zhou Rui laughed bitterly, and said: "Don't say anymore, two days ago, it was taken away by my old man. I was the one who had hidden this point secretly, otherwise, there wouldn't be a single bit left."

Yan Er said in dissatisfaction: "Young Master Zhou is not honest, with your ability to hide things, I do not believe that your old man can find it."

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "How can I not wet my shoes when I walk by the river. Besides, the old man has already spoken, how could I dare not give him money?

Chen Haitao was not surprised at all, and said indifferently, "Looks like you're well-informed regarding this Young Master Zhou."

Zhou Rui waved his hand and said, "I only heard it from the grapevine. Wait until Young Master Chen takes office, I will go there another day, and I will have more confidence."

Chen Haitao said with a smirk on his face, "Based on Young Master Zhou's ability, I should be confident enough going there."

"This is just giving face to everyone. Oh right, where is the Mr. Chen from?" Zhou Rui changed the subject and turned to look at me.

I carelessly said, "Oh, a small place is not worth mentioning."

Zhou Rui laughed bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen still has some concerns towards me."

I slowly replied, "No, how could that be? It's just that I haven't been back for a long time. I'm afraid that no one knows me." It's been five to six years since I've been out, and I'm afraid that things have changed in the village. Very few people will be able to recognize me if I return now.

Zhou Rui nodded his head and said, "That's true, the old and young returned home together with their boss, one day they will return home in glory."

"It's possible for me to return to my hometown as a teacher, but it might be difficult for me to get clothes for the brocade."

Zhou Rui laughed, "Mr. Chen is too modest, I wonder where Mr. Chen will develop now?"

"Naturally, I can't compare to the Young Master Zhou. It's just a small matter and I have to do some odd jobs." Strictly speaking, I do seem to be doing odd jobs right now. The rewards are quite generous.

Zhou Rui would definitely understand what I mean, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen sure knows how to joke, Yunyun has good taste."

"Maybe she made a mistake this time." After I finished speaking, I took a sip of the tea. Immediately, a strong aroma of tea permeated through my mouth and my entire body and mind jolted.

As soon as I said it, everyone's expression changed completely. Zhou Rui couldn't help but be taken aback and look at me in surprise, while the look in his eyes towards me also became resentful. The gaze Chen Haitao looked at me with became unfriendly. Only Yan Er looked at me with was filled with curiosity.

After a long while, Zhou Rui laughed dryly, "Mr. Chen is so modest!"

"I'm telling the truth." I said seriously once again.

The atmosphere in the room became even weirder. Long Funyun had already secretly reached out her hands to pinch my thighs, and the gaze she gave me was filled with hidden bitterness. She was even gritting her teeth. The veins on Zhou Haitao's neck protruded slightly as he held the teacup tightly in his hand. The porcelain cup was almost shattered from his grip.

Chen Haiyan, Yan Er had already widened her eyes as she looked at me, as if my words had shocked him greatly. Zhou Rui, on the other hand, didn't know how to continue after hearing my words.

The private room was silent. No one spoke as they waited for the others to speak. Seeing such a situation, I couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied. I had wanted to leave since long ago, but there was no other way around it. Before I came, I had already promised Long Funyun that I would stay behind.

Just then there was a knock on the door, and a man came in with a small wooden box in his hand. This man was none other than the man who had paid 10 million for the jade pendant at Auction.

The man placed the small box beside me and said softly, "Mr. Chen, Master told me to give this to you."

I looked at the small box, then looked at the man and reached out my hand to open the box. Inside the box, on top of the yellow cloth, there was a jade pendant.

I thought for a while before I closed the small box and said, "Help me thank your master. I will accept the gift, but tell your master that I want to meet with him."

The man nodded and said, "I will tell the truth to my master. If there's nothing else, I will leave first. I won't disturb any of you."

"Yes."

After the man left, I couldn't help but frown. Everyone in the room was looking at me as if they were waiting for me to speak.

I smiled apologetically. "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just a small matter. Young Master Zhou, this tea is pretty good."

Zhou Rui's eyes flashed with a bright light, and said, "If Young Master Chen likes it, when we leave later, I still have a little more. We can bring the Young Master Chen away later."

Hearing Zhou Rui's words, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. The reason I accepted this gift just now was also because I wanted to use the tiger skin as a banner. Although I'm very curious about the person behind this, I know that one day I will meet him.

I chuckled and said, "Hehe, Young Master Zhou is too courteous, I am also a Taotie. I don't know how to taste it, this kind of thing is too wasteful for me, I think it's better to leave it to those who understand."

Zhou Rui said unhurriedly: "Young Master Chen is too modest, the Taotie food is not simple at all. It seems that Young Master Chen is also in the business world."

I shook my head and said helplessly, "I really don't have one. I just need to do some small business to support my family."

Zhou Rui said with a trace of helplessness. "Young Master Chen, being overly humble is being proud, this is not good."

Yan Er said unhappily: "That's right, we're all on the same side, can't you be a little more straightforward? Moreover, we're not going back to your company to eat anyway, what's there to be afraid of?"

Hearing Yan Er's words, I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. I rubbed my nose, unsure of what to say.

Seeing my awkward expression, although Long Funyun was unhappy with what I had said, she still said, "Alright, Yan Er, stop messing around, he's still a little busy, his company is currently working on a project."

Yan Er smirked, "No wonder you're so careful, it looks like it must be a big project. Yun Er, did you find a potential unit this time!?"

Long Funyun said: "I'm fine, I'm not sure about what happened with him, but I'm fine with it."

Zhou Rui suddenly exclaimed. "So that's how it is, Young Master Chen, I am truly sorry. I spoke too much, I can understand."

I carelessly said, "Actually, it isn't as serious as what Yun Er said. It's just blindly busy."

"Hehe, to be able to cause Young Master Chen to waste so much time on projects is definitely not simple, Young Master Chen need not be modest."

"Young Master Zhou is too serious, but if Young Master Zhou is interested, you can come to my place to find out about it that day, there shouldn't be a problem." He had already put on a good show, it would be meaningless if he kept on putting on an act.

Zhou Rui nodded his head, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "If there is a chance, I will definitely go and have a look. Today, I will use tea in place of wine and toast to Young Master Chen.

I picked up my wine cup and said, "Then I'll have to thank Young Master Zhou. When he reaches the East Sea, I'll definitely sweep the house to welcome him."

Zhou Rui cupped his hands and said, "With Young Master Chen's words, I will definitely go over, at that time, Young Master Chen will not go back on my words!"

"Hehe, even if I don't have time, Yun Er will still take my place." Saying that, I looked at Long Funyun, if the person really comes at that time, I would definitely not appear, since these people are all Long Funyun's friends, I do not believe that she would sit there and do nothing.

Just then, Chen Haiyan spoke out, "If that's the case, I want to go too, and it just so happens that I wanted to go to Donghai City to open a branch here. Little handsome brother, you are a local tyrant, you can't not help.

"You can just find him for this, he'll definitely help." Long Funyun looked at me and said while beaming. I could see something in her eyes. She seemed to have figured out what I meant. We were both digging holes for each other.

The smile on Zhou Rui's face became even wider, and he said, "Since that's the case, then I will be extremely interested, I have always wanted to go to the Donghai City to develop, but unfortunately, there is no one that I can trust. If the Young Master Chen is willing, then we can work together."

"What the Young Master Zhou is doing is all big business, I can't make that small issue out of it." Chen Haiyan is fine, but I can't see through Zhou Rui. Logically speaking, he should be one of the top foppish lords in the capital, but he didn't have that kind of domineering attitude. It was easy to get along with them, but hard to get along with.

Zhou Rui shook his head and said somewhat helplessly, "It seems that Young Master Chen still doesn't trust me."

I indifferently replied, "How can that be? My abilities are limited, but Young Master Zhou is overthinking things. Relying on your ability, it won't be difficult for you to enter the Donghai City. Why would you need my help?"

Chen Haitao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "There's so much nonsense to speak. Chen Yang, it's better to wait for you to properly train after we return. Otherwise, it'll be meaningless to fight."

"I said I wouldn't fight." I shrugged.

Chen Haitao shot a glance at me, and said without holding back, "You can learn to take a beating."
