Chapter 403: Pretending to have no good fruit to eat
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ming came to the Garden Restaurant, which is a luxurious restaurant located at the foot of the Council Hill. The most prominent feature of this restaurant is that the environment is very elegant. It is very good to find such a place in the center of Brighton. Of course, relative, the consumption of the Garden Restaurant is also amazing. Even a high-level white-collar worker with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan will be very difficult to afford the consumption here, which shows the consumption here.
Of course, this doesn't matter to the real rich, so the garden restaurant has become an ideal place for many rich people or politicians to have lunch. It is also for this reason that Zhou Ming chose the meeting place with Christo here.
The reason is very simple, because the wealthy people gather here, the safety factor will be higher. I think it is impossible for Christo to go to extremes here, because if something happens, even if the Adams family still has a president in charge, it will be impossible to be good. For Zhou Ming, he doesn't want to take unnecessary adventures, like the dangerous situation in Itli, Zhou Ming doesn't want to experience it again.
Christo originally disagreed with this. After all, he is also a celebrity in the Brighton rich circle. If someone sees it, he will lose face.
Zhou Ming's statement to this is also very simple. If he is not here, he will not meet. In the end, Christo had no choice but to agree to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming did not have the habit of being late, so Zhou Ming arrived here first and went to the private room they had already booked. It was not until 7:00 that Christo came here late. He pushed open the door of the private room and Christo said to Zhou Ming: "I'm very sorry, because I have something happened temporarily, so I'm late. But Mr. Zhou Ming, please rest assured that I can be responsible for the meal this time."
Christo said it was an apology, but Zhou Ming did not see any apology on his face. However, Zhou Ming was not surprised by this, because Zhou Ming knew that he did this obviously for his proud self-esteem, and also wanted to give himself a warning.
"Of course, I also need to introduce myself first. My name is Christo and I am the patriarch of the Adams family. I think Mr. Zhou Ming must have known me, right?" Christo said with a smile.
In fact, Christo did not need to introduce himself at all, because Zhou Ming recognized him the first time he came in. Although Zhou Ming had never seen him with his own eyes before, Zhou Ming had seen his son Robert, and his face looked almost exactly the same as his son.
Zhou Ming just smiled coldly when it comes to Cristo's words, then stood up and said, "Of course I understand that Mr. Cristo is busy, but my time is not available at any time. Originally, I promised Mr. Cristo that your time was at 7 o'clock, and I would like to chat with Mr. Cristo at this time, but now I have no time. We will make an appointment next time, see you."
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he walked towards the door. Christo was surprised by this but did not stop him. He just looked at Zhou Ming and said disdainfully: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think I have said sorry. It would be boring if you make such a gesture again. And you must also understand who is the decision of Brighton now. I want to give you a chance when I come out this time. You must cherish this opportunity!"
Christo's words became more and more excited, but Zhou Ming ignored him and opened the door and walked out of the room. This sudden change made Christo stunned on the spot, because he originally thought that Zhou Ming was just a gesture like this. How could he have thought that Zhou Ming would really leave like this? Christo was not mentally prepared at all, and he didn't react until Zhou Ming left the room.
"Did you give up this opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with me?" Christo shouted at Zhou Ming behind his back, but Zhou Ming did not respond to any news because Zhou Ming had already walked away.
Christo was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect Zhou Ming to leave so simply, without any delay.
In fact, not only Christo was stunned, but Kendini Tie Wujiao, including Edward, was also stunned. After Zhou Ming told them about this after he went back, Edward and the others didn't know what to say at that time.
Being late is indeed a very annoying thing, but generally speaking, since you have already chosen to wait, now that you have arrived, you should do whatever you should do. After all, you have already made an appointment to meet, so there must be something. If you are unhappy and just find a way to get the place back in the future, how can you leave just by saying that? Isn't this too willful, right?
Zhou Ming explained to this: "This is not willfulness, but to tell him with facts that there is no good fruit in front of me! I also let me cherish the opportunity and see who wants to cherish it."
The words were full of domineering, but Edward and the others were stunned. You should know that the Adams family was a powerful family that created the first dynasty in the United States. Even a family like the US President or Morgan Rockefeller would still give them a three-pointer. But Zhou Ming actually got up and left because of the other party's lateness. This was the greatest humiliation to the Adams family.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, you are too impulsive in this matter? I know that Christo's lateness is disrespect for you, and I also hope that he can try to gain the upper hand through such actions. This is his habit. Because he is the patriarch of the Adams family, he has great pride and self-esteem, but... that's all! How can you be so serious about this matter?" Eugenes said in confusion.
"Of course I know, but it's not that he has pride and self-esteem, so others will be gone." Zhou Ming said innocently.
Cavendy said again: "Of course we know that Mr. Zhou Ming, you also have your dignity, and your dignity is worthy of protection, but the problem is not at this time! Mr. Zhou Ming, you are such a smart person, why would you make such a child's judgment at this time?"
Joseph said directly: "It's over now. Mr. Zhou Ming, you humiliated Christo in this way. The Adams family must be with our Kendine family forever! Mr. Zhou Ming, you are not helping us at all, but harming us!"
This time, before Zhou Ming had time to speak, Edward stood up and said, "Did you all know Mr. Zhou Ming on the first day? Have you forgotten what Mr. Zhou Ming said to us before? Do not doubt people, no need to use them. This is the Chinese culture that Mr. Zhou Ming has taught us. Since we have chosen to believe Mr. Zhou Ming, we should support Mr. Zhou Ming's approach!"
"So Mr. Zhou Ming, please tell us what you think," Patrick asked.
"My opinion is very simple. I think Christo will swallow this. He will come to contact me and apologize to me for his late behavior." Zhou Ming said.
As Zhou Ming finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became quiet, as if even everyone's heartbeat could be heard clearly. Edward and the other two stared at Zhou Ming blankly, with an incredible expression as if asking: I said Mr. Zhou Ming, what are you saying?
This strange silence lasted for a long time before Edward said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, how did you make such an unreasonable judgment?"
Edward's words were undoubtedly very reserved. In fact, he wanted to say more: Uncle, why do you say that Christo would take the initiative to admit his mistake? Could you be his father? Can you make such a judgment? Are you mentally retarded?
Zhou Ming was about to say something, but before he could speak, his cell phone rang. Zhou Ming thought for a while and turned on the speaker. Soon Christo's voice came: "Hello, Mr. Zhou Ming, I am Christo. I made this call to apologize to you. It is very rude to be late today. At the same time, I also hope that we can make another appointment. This time I promise not to be late."
Christo gritted his teeth and said this. You can imagine how unwilling he was to say this, but it didn't matter, because he said it like a bombshell that broke out, and everyone was stunned. The five people's eyes were full of incredible, especially Edward who had just spoken. At this moment, he felt his face was swollen like bread.
If they hadn't known that Zhou Ming could not have prepared in advance, they would even think that this was a play that Christo specifically cooperated with Zhou Ming to act, otherwise it would be too difficult to understand.
"I'm not dreaming, right? Or is it a deviation in our cognition? Mr. Zhou Ming just said that he left directly at the dinner party in the evening? No matter how you think about it, it should be a humiliation of the Adams family. Logically speaking, the Adams family should have to stay with Mr. Zhou Ming forever. Why would he take the initiative to apologize and continue to invite? This is so strange, right?"
Eugenes said blankly, and his words also expressed the thoughts of others. Only Edward sighed quietly. He told others that Zhou Ming’s situation could not be inferred using common sense.
Perhaps their logic is rigorous and they know the nobles of Brighton better than Zhou Ming, but they are undoubtedly fragile in the face of facts like a piece of paper. They just questioned Zhou Ming, but now the facts slapped them in the face, once again proving to them that Zhou Ming is correct no matter what he does.
"Since Mr. Christo said this, it would be too ungraceful if I refuse," Zhou Ming then changed his subject, "But I would like to remind Mr. Christo this time that I can't be late anymore!"
Christo was almost stimulated by Zhou Ming to swear. Fortunately, he finally held back and could only grit his teeth and said, "Please rest assured Mr. Zhou Ming, I will definitely arrive on time."
After saying the last sentence, Christo hung up the phone quickly, regardless of whether Zhou Ming responded or not, because he was afraid of hearing what Zhou Ming said more.
And here, Zhou Ming hung up the phone, spread his hands and thought Edward and the other two could tell him that it was that simple.
Edward and the others wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing, because in the face of facts, any words were thin.
Finally Edward asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, why is this?"
This is also a question that the other four people want to ask. Zhou Ming replied: "Actually it's very simple. I guess Christo must have a reason to have to find me, otherwise he would not have to invite me on his own initiative. So since he has this reason, he will definitely bear the provocation of me that is not limited, so he did not understand the situation. If he didn't have to come late to provoke me, I wouldn't give up the provocation directly."
