Chapter 403 Are You Sunny?
After Zhou Chaoxian arrived at Cuihu Villa, he was told that Lin Zehao was not there. When he asked about his whereabouts, they, as his younger brothers, naturally had no idea.
Therefore, he had no choice but to call Lin Zehao, but found that he couldn't get through no matter how hard he tried. He was so angry that he smashed his elder brother's phone on the spot.
"This broken thing is not only heavy, but it also often has no signal. I really don't know what good it has!"
In desperation, Zhou Chaoxian had to wait for Lin Zehao at the gate of Cuihu Villa.
He made up his mind that he would not leave unless he saw Lin Zehao.
At the same time, Lin Zehao and Morris Chang and others had just inspected TSMC's factory site, and when they were walking back, they found an uninvited guest.
The luxury convoy drove smoothly on the road. The leading cars were all Mercedes-Benz cars, and the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was in the middle, ensuring that no matter from which direction it was attacked, it could respond quickly and provide protection.
At this time, a scooter came from a distance. After overtaking the Mercedes-Benz in front, it suddenly turned the steering wheel and fell abruptly in the middle of the road.
Seeing this, the driver immediately braked and reported the news to everyone through the headset.
The equipment for the security team was purchased from America at a high price by Lin Zehao.
For example, this tactical headset, which everyone has, is assembled on a large scale by the FBI. It is very expensive, and of course the effect is also outstanding.
Not only does it have a wide communication range and a high encryption level, but it can also ensure smooth communication even in extreme environments.
"Groups one and two, pay attention, advance forward in a fan shape. Other groups, take cover and be careful of attacks from other directions!"
A Mai gave the order through the headset, and at the same time clicked the call button on the co-pilot, and said very respectfully: "Brother Hao, there is an emergency outside, please don't get out of the car for the time being."
This Rolls-Royce Silver Spur has been specially modified. The front driver's seat and the boss's seat in the back are isolated. They are all bulletproof, soundproof and have one-way transparent glass. Communication can only be achieved through a special microphone. Otherwise, even if one shouts at the top of his lungs, Lin Zehao in the back seat will not be able to hear him.
Lin Zehao was no longer surprised by this kind of situation. He did not show much emotion and just nodded.
The reason why Lin Zehao has come this far is because of countless competitions. There are countless corpses buried under this road to success.
Under such circumstances, there are too many people who want him to die.
Therefore, this is why Lin Zehao is willing to invest heavily in security team building every year.
The security team moved forward steadily, holding Browning High Power, as they had practiced countless times. When they were still three meters away from the fallen man, the man suddenly stood up with his hands raised high.
"Don't shoot!"
"I'm Datian Er, I want to see Brother Hao!"
When Da Tianer said these two sentences, he used Cantonese. This was also his little thought. Most of Lin Zehao's subordinates are from Hong Kong Island, and speaking their hometown dialect seems more intimate.
Otherwise, if you happen to meet a young man and get shot, you will have to be more careful in your next life.
"Who is Datianer? I've never heard of him."
The security guard muttered something and then shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
“Brother Mai, this person calls himself Datian Er and wants to see Brother Hao.”
The clever younger brother immediately reported the matter, but A Mai snorted coldly and said, "What big Tian Er and little Tian Er, they really think they are someone important. Can he see Brother Hao whenever he wants?"
"Tie him up and take him back. Let him recognize his position first."
In Ama's opinion, his boss is such a big shot, how could he possibly meet any random person who came out of nowhere?
After receiving the order from above, the security personnel said nothing and simply used the butts of their guns to knock Da Tianer unconscious in front of his surprised gaze.
After a body search, they found a Black Star pistol and a butterfly knife, gagged me, tied me up, and locked me in the trunk.
Then the convoy slowly moved forward again.
……
At the entrance of Green Lake Manor.
It was an hour later when Zhou Chaoxian saw the Rolls-Royce Silver Thor.
Ignoring the surprised looks of his men, he stepped forward happily and opened the car door for Lin Zehao with great respect, acting like a true younger brother.
Lin Zehao was not in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chaoxian meaningfully before getting out of the car.
Seeing this scene, the younger brothers of Songshan Gang looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew their boss' temper well. To say that he was arrogant and domineering was a compliment. They had never seen Zhou Chaoxian being so polite to anyone, no, humble!
As a result, they almost didn't dare to look up and look Lin Zehao in the eyes.
How could they not be afraid of a man who could make their boss so humble?
"Hello, Brother Hao, I am Chaoxian's wife, Cui Miaoxiang."
Cui Miaoxiang knew how important this handsome, tall and powerful man was. As a good wife, she would naturally not hold her husband back.
Lin Zehao shook hands with her and said to Wang Zuxian who was standing beside him, "This is Zuxian."
Wang Zuxian was also a smart person. She immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister Miaoxiang, we women don't get involved in men's affairs. Come on, I'll take you around."
"Zu Xian, you're joking. I'm not that old. I don't deserve to be called sister."
Cui Miaoxiang didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Wang Zuxian. A woman's status when she goes out is given by her man. Zhou Chaoxian is older than Lin Zehao, but he still has to call him Brother Hao. How dare she be Wang Zuxian's sister?
Wang Zuxian naturally knew what the other party was thinking, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about our own things, let's go."
Zhou Chaoxian nodded slightly to Cui Miaoxiang, and the latter followed Wang Zuxian away, with several Hutchison security personnel following not far behind them.
"Let's go to the study and have a drink together."
Lin Zehao walked in front, and Zhou Chaoxian followed closely, making sure to always lag half a body length behind.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. There are many things that only people in the industry know, and how deep the water is.
Only a local boss like Zhou Chaoxian knows how terrifying Lin Zehao is now!
For example, this time, he was cheated out of 100 million yuan by Hou Liqun, but he didn't dare to say a word. He walked away in disgrace with his tail between his legs. He could only speak arrogantly and harshly behind his back.
Looking at Lin Zehao again, not only did he offend Hou Liqun, he also refused to buy into the other party's ideas at all, and yet he suddenly got the position of legislator.
By comparing in this way, you can know who is smart and who is stupid.
Facts speak louder than words. To know how capable a person is, we don’t need to listen to what he says, but to see what he does.
Zhou Chaoxian followed Lin Zehao to the study, and A Mai and Luo Tianhong followed closely behind.
In the huge study, a mahogany desk occupied the center, with several thread-bound books and a dried bamboo neatly arranged on the desk. On the desk was a simple-looking inkstone, which was worth a lot even to Zhou Chaoxian, a layman.
The sunlight outside the window shines into the house through the quaint lattice windows, shining on Lin Zehao's body, making him look radiant, as if he was coated with a layer of gold.
Seeing this, A Mai and Luo Tianhong looked at each other. The latter walked to the window and closed the curtains, while the former turned on the light in the study.
Hanging on the wall is a landscape painting with overlapping mountains and rivers surrounded by clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of remoteness and depth.
In a corner of the study, there are several bundles of rice paper and brushes. The papers have turned slightly yellow due to being left for a long time, but they reveal a heavy sense of history.
On the windowsill, a pot of orchid is quietly blooming, with a delicate fragrance that complements the atmosphere of the study.
On the bookshelf, the dazzling array of books exudes a mixed aroma of wood and paper.
However, judging from the appearance of the books, these books were definitely not bought just for show, and basically all of them show signs of having been read.
Lin Zehao took off his coat, revealing a pure white shirt. Ama naturally took it and hung it on the hanger.
He walked over to the liquor cabinet, pulled out a bottle of Cabesa's premium tequila, raised his pretty eyebrows, and asked, "Tequila?"
Zhou Chaoxian knew that he had no right to choose, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
This tequila originates from Mexico and is made 100% from blue agave. It is an absolute high-end brand among tequilas and it is not an exaggeration to even call it a luxury product.
Especially for those from special years, the prices are rising sharply.
The bottle of tequila in Lin Zehao's hand may look insignificant, but it is actually worth more than one thousand US dollars and is not easy to buy.
A Mai brought two cups and a bucket of ice cubes. Lin Zehao used a special clamp to pick up an ice ball, placed it in the cup, and poured the wine until it was eight-tenths full.
He picked up the cup, took a sip, and said, "It tastes good, pour it yourself."
Zhou Chaoxian followed suit, but he poured himself a fuller glass.
Then, Lin Zehao handed the other person a cigar, and the two began to puff on smoke.
Drinking top-quality tequila and smoking a cigar is simply the best enjoyment.
"Brother Hao, I'll toast you a glass."
Zhou Chao first placed the cigar on a special rack nearby to ensure that it would not go out, then picked up the wine glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
As for Lin Zehao, he just took a symbolic sip.
With his status and position, drinking with you is giving you face. As for the table rules, they are no longer applicable to him.
"You never come to me for no reason. Tell me, what is it that you come to see me for?"
Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke with a half-smile on his face.
Of course he knew why Zhou Chaoxian came, but the feeling of saying some things out loud yourself was completely different from the feeling of having them pointed out by others.
"Brother Hao, to be honest, you were really smart in the beginning. You saw through that bastard Hou Liqun's tricks in advance. Chaoxian really admires you very much."
This was not Zhou Chaoxian's flattery against his will, but rather his genuine admiration for Lin Zehao.
If he had the same keen insight as the other person, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
That’s 100 million in cash!
Now there is only more than 5 million left in Zhou Chaoxian's company's account.
This amount of money is indeed an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
But for so many companies under his control, he couldn't last more than a few days.
If no way out is found, bankruptcy is not impossible.
"Come on, you've really been dealing with those people in the officialdom for a long time, and flattery has become a habit for you."
"You look so distraught, were you fooled by Hou Liqun?"
Lin Zehao shook his head and laughed, directly making the window paper clear.
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoxian could no longer hold back, and repeated the whole story in a hoarse voice and with a tone of deep regret.
"Brother Hao, to be honest, I know you have other options. I want to buy a seat as a legislator from you."
Zhou Chaoxian seemed to be speaking pitifully, but only he knew what he was actually thinking.
Lin Zehao snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes, and said word by word: "Zhou Chaoxian, ask yourself, although we have known each other for a short time, how do I treat you? Do I look down on you?"
"But why don't you have any respect for me?"
"In this situation, you actually used the word buy with me!"
"Do you think I'm short of money? Or do you think you're very rich and powerful?"
"I'm asking for 1 billion, can you afford it?"
Lin Zehao's voice was not loud, but to Zhou Chaoxian's ears, every word sounded as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if every word hit him dizzy and made his heart beat faster!
He subconsciously stood up from his seat, straightened his body, and explained hurriedly: "Brother Hao, that's not what I meant, I..."
Lin Zehao didn't want to listen to this nonsense, so he raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Okay, if you come here today just to talk to me with this attitude, then please go back."
Zhou Chaoxian was confused by this sudden scene. He had no idea what Lin Zehao meant, and his face was full of fear.
He glanced at Zhou Chaoxian, who was still in shock, and said meaningfully: "I have said it before, whether it is a person or an object, it needs to find its own position."
"Tea is for drinking, and shoes are for wearing. What do you think, Chaoxian?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoxian finally understood. He fell to his knees, stretched out three fingers of his right hand and pointed to the sky, saying firmly: "I, Zhou Chaoxian, swear to heaven that from now on, I will be Brother Hao's running dog. If Brother Hao tells me to go east, I will definitely not go west!"
"If I disobey you, I will die a miserable death and will never be a human again!"
Lin Zehao waited until Zhou Chaoxian finished speaking before he slowly helped him up and said, "You were wrong just now. I, Lin Zehao, only have brothers around me. I have never had any lackeys."
“If you want others to treat you as a human being, you must first think of yourself as a human being.”
