This old godfather is a bit crafty, isn't he?
Liu Zhizhong sighed inwardly but quickly rolled down the window of the driver's seat and waved at Zheng Xitong with a smile.
Given the distance of about twenty to thirty ters, it wasn't appropriate to shout and greet loudly within the estate.
Zheng Xitong smiled and nodded, signaling for him to park first.
Liu Zhizhong nodded in acknowledgnt and imdiately drove into the garage. The godfather was definitely waiting for him, it was confird.
Once in the garage, he parked the car, got out, and looked around at all the luxury vehicles, gleaming and shiny. Liu Zhizhong sighed inwardly and shook his head. The car left by Zheng Sanjing… easy to drive, yet also not so easy, haha...
He quickly took the elevator out of the garage and headed towards the courtyard where Zheng Xitong was.
"Mr. Zheng, you haven't slept yet?"
Liu Zhizhong sat down and reached out to grab the teapot to pour a cup for Zheng Xitong.
Zheng Xitong was quicker, picking up the teapot first. He elegantly poured a cup for Liu Zhizhong, topped up his own, and then took out his old pipe for both of them.
"Couldn't sleep, so I sat in the courtyard and waited for you, to see if there's any news."
Liu Zhizhong thanked him with a gesture, saying, "There's nothing much, just that tonight's dinner party was quite confusing for about etiquette, sigh..."
"Oh? It shouldn't be that bad, should it? My son Zhizhong never fails on such occasions, plus you brought a gift, right!" Zheng Xitong smiled, puffing on his pipe with one hand and drinking tea with the other, very much like a big shot.
Liu Zhizhong smiled gloomily, taking out the packaged seal from his briefcase.
Zheng Xitong saw it, "What does this an? President Qian wants the seal but not the packaging? Like buying the pearl and returning the box?"
Liu Zhizhong was amused by this humor and quickly replied, "Mr. Zheng, you're too funny. No, President Qian returned the seal to , leaving unsure of what to do. Essentially, I faced the president of the Southwest Conference empty-handed for the first ti, failing in etiquette!"
"Huh? This..." Zheng Xitong's face showed a slight surprise as his smile disappeared, his brows furrowing before relaxing, "What's Uncle Long up to? Not only is he most fond of this Chu King Seal, but he gives it back tonight after receiving it? What's his intention, what's his intention?"
Zheng Xitong was evidently quite anxious.
Liu Zhizhong could feel the deep significance behind sending this seal.
However, he still looked puzzled and said, "Mr. Zheng, I don't understand him either! At the ti, he explained the origin of this seal and insisted he could not accept an ancestral item, especially one filled with sorrow. It should stay with the Zheng Family. I also emphasized that it was Mr. Zheng's intention to show respect and convey his importance to , his adopted son. Yet, the president was firm in his rejection, and I couldn't force it upon him, could I? So... hehe..."
Liu Zhizhong smiled awkwardly, touching his nose before he said, "I had to bring it back. Mr. Zheng, should we just take it back?"
Zheng Xitong chuckled, "Alright then! Qian Long, that old fellow, used to be so keen on it, and now he rejects it with reason. My intention was indeed to uplift my adopted son, showing your prominence and promising future within the Zheng Family, and also indicating the close unity between our Zheng Family and the Qian family. But since it's returned, let's forget about it."
"Alright, Mr. Zheng. Oh, by the way, weren't you planning to go to Yunxi?"
"The schedule changed, I'm going the day after tomorrow."
Liu Zhizhong was shocked, thinking, the day after tomorrow I have to send Brother Xuan's younger sister back to Yunxi. Don't tell you'll want to accompany you to Yunxi too? That would be another conflict!
