Chapter 134 Want to be a slave but not
"Zong Rui?"
"Second uncle?"
Two surprises were almost shouting together, and a fat middle-aged man strode from behind himself. The man's facial features were desperately concentrating towards the center of his face, looking very different, but he walked with a arrogant look, wishing he could walk with his head raised all day long. His eyes as big as a mung beans flashed with a pride of looking down on everything. This man was Li Guangbi's second son, Li Zonglin's second brother, Li Zongrui.
"Zong Rui, aren't you talking about a very important project in Kuala Lumpur? Why are you here?" Li Guangbi asked.
"Of course I heard something more important. In my opinion, nothing is more important than this!"
Li Zongrui answered without thinking, and then walked over step by step: "Father, I think you should know what the warning was meant not long ago. When we saw Zhou Ming, we would block outside and beat him out with a "chaotic" stick, but you even wanted to invite them to have fun. Do you want to violate the agreement between us and those people and want the Li family to suffer an unintentional disaster?"
"Uncle II, how could you talk to grandpa like this? He did this just for the sake of his compatriots." Li Yaocheng explained anxiously.
However, Li Zongrui didn't listen at all: "Yaocheng, you also know that you want to call me "Uncle II." So now your second uncle is not as good as your "inciting" words here? And I know that these Chinese people brought us from our Li family. What do you want to do this? Did you ruin the Li family?"
"Repay the feelings of compatriots? I'm gonna spit out fiercely, "These are robbers who are going to cheat your assets! You should also think about it carefully, why no one said about compatriots before, but now they are asking for money, they are all bullshit!"
"Zong Rui, you're a little too much." Li Guangbi scolded in a deep voice.
Li Zongrui looked at his father: "Dad, didn't you ask me why I came back suddenly? Let me tell you now that I just received a call from those people, and they were asking me if I was going to violate the agreement."
Li Zongrui paused deliberately before continuing, "Dad, do you understand what this situation is? They are the disaster of our Li family. They come here to harm our Li family. In this case, do you still have to be responsible for their food, drink and fun? This will completely irritate those people. They will think that our Li family and China are in the same mood, so our Li family will be finished!"
Li Zongrui pointed at Zhou Ming and shouted loudly. He was "stimulating" and was like an angry young man who witnessed the destruction of the country and his family. Li Guangbi didn't know what to say for a moment, or he deliberately didn't want to say anything, but no matter what it was, it further encouraged Li Zongrui's arrogance.
He waved around and called the bodyguards of the Li family and said, "It was these Chinese people who drove them out for me!"
With Li Zongrui's orders, the bodyguards who were scattered in the whole house immediately gathered and surrounded Zhou Ming and the others. At this time, Li Yaocheng stood up and blocked his bodyguards.
"No one is allowed to move!" Li Yaocheng then said to Li Zongrui, "Second uncle, no matter what, Mr. Zhou Ming and Ambassador Chen Rong are guests I invited, so you are not allowed to touch them! I know that you hate Chinese people, but please don't forget that you are also a Chinese!"
Li Zongrui just waved his hand sneeredly at this, ignoring Li Yaocheng's words at all.
Facing the bodyguards who were approaching, Chen Rong advised Zhou Ming to leave first, but Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly: "It's really an era of being a slave and an era of being a slave but not being able to be a slave! I originally thought the Li family was very powerful, but I didn't expect to have become slaves to those Western families? They were just a phone call, are you going to raise your sword to your own people?"
"What a stupid thing, I think you don't know what you are talking about, right?" Li Zongrui sneered.
However, at this time, Li Guangbi waved his hand to stop the bodyguard's movement, which made Li Zongrui very dissatisfied: "Dad, what are you doing? Do you also want to help these Chinese people who don't know where they came from? Are we in danger of our Li family in crisis? Do you know what those people said on the phone? They told me that Singapore was originally on the list they were going to deal with, and we must make good choices, otherwise we will be in trouble..."
Bang!
Li Guangbi raised his hand and slapped Li Zongrui to interrupt Li Zongrui's next words. Facing Li Zongrui's incredible 'color', Li Guangbi told him: "Zongrui, you must remember your identity. You are from my Li family, not a retainer of those people!"
After scolding Li Zongrui, Li Guangbi then walked up to Zhou Ming and said, "First of all, I am very grateful to you for trusting me so much and inviting me to participate in your plan, but I am sorry. Obviously, our Li family is not ready. I still say the same thing. If you want to travel in Singapore, I can give you funding, but please don't mention anything else."
"I'm very sorry, but I respect your choice." Zhou Ming said.
Li Guangbi and Zhou Ming are still peaceful on this side, but on the other side, Li Zongrui covered his face and looked at Zhou Ming and Li Guangbi fiercely: "You will regret it if you dare to treat me like this!"
Then Zhou Ming and Chen Rong stayed in the old house of Li’s family for dinner, and were sent out with guilt by Li Yaocheng.
"Ambassador Chen Rong and Mr. Zhou Ming, I am really sorry. It seems that I am too naive. I didn't expect that my grandfather had the same attitude as my father. This is so annoying!" Li Yaocheng said.
This young man from the Li family was really embarrassed. He originally wanted to show off his skills in front of Zhou Ming, but he was thrown into cold water when he returned to the Li family mansion. Even if the old man Li Guangbi was not quite kind, he would have really driven Zhou Ming and the others out according to his second uncle Li Zongrui's approach, and then he would be even more shameless to face Zhou Ming. God knows why the second uncle was so afraid.
"It doesn't matter, it's not your responsibility." Zhou Ming said to him, "It's also our original request that is too difficult for you, and we didn't expect that those Western consortium families would put so much pressure on you. In fact, it should be me who should apologize."
Zhou Ming said this sincerely. After all, he and the Li family have never met, so he asked others to contribute their wealth and investment channels that have been built by generations in Southeast Asia under various pressures. It is really too much to think about it. Is it impossible to just say that if the compatriots need help, others will come to help you with your heart and soul. No matter how you think about it, let alone those Western consortiums threaten behind it.
Zhou Ming knew that he had no other good idea than Li Yaocheng, so he wanted to try to see if he could win the support of some of the Li family forces, but he completely ignored that Li Yaocheng was just a young man who was still in school, and it was really not interesting to do so.
However, what Zhou Ming did not expect was that he just apologized kindly, which moved Li Yaocheng very much.
"Mr. Zhou Ming didn't expect that you were still thinking about us at this time. Compared with you, we are so bad. Mr. Zhou Ming, you are proud of the Chinese in the world. Our Li family, as the first clan of forty-eight surnames in Nanyang, dare not disobey those people at all. In front of you, Mr. Zhou Ming, we are so ashamed that we are going to get into the cracks in the ground!" Li Yaocheng said.
Facing Li Yaocheng who was moved to the point of not wanting it, Zhou Ming could only say that this guy is really too young, but Zhou Ming could also understand that this is probably a rare opportunity for Li Yaocheng to find true recognition in Southeast Asia.
Li Yaocheng then said solemnly: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I know that the situation this time is very bad, so bad that I don't want to think about it at all, so I owe you once. Mr. Zhou Ming, if you need help in the future, as long as you tell me, I will do my best and will definitely be better than this time!"
Zhou Ming subconsciously wanted to refuse his words, but Zhou Ming saw the firmness in Li Yaocheng's eyes. Zhou Ming knew that if he said he refused, even if he was just polite, it would hurt the young man's heart.
So Zhou Ming also said to him solemnly: "Don't worry, if I need help, I will definitely not forget you!"
Only then did Li Yaocheng wave his fists with relief.
...
At the same time, the news that Zhou Ming went to the Li family mansion was also spread to the island castle in Bermuda.
"This guy Zhou Ming is so despicable. He didn't expect that he could avoid our spy and go to the Li family's mansion in Singapore, so that we could follow the minibus to stay in the embassy that had been in vain for so long! If it weren't for the Li family, we would probably be "stuck" in the dark now!"
"Do you think the Li family is a loyal dog? It would be too naive to testify that if God thought that way. Do you know that those who used the Li family's resources and finally managed to hide it from us, the Li family members were just a group of cunning foxes chasing the "meat"! They can disguise themselves as loyal dogs and will show their fangs to us at any time!"
"Hey! See, I've said that those Chinese are like leaves on redwood trees, and they are not reliable at all. As long as the wind blows, those guys will run faster than the rabbits at the foot of the Tra Mountain. If you want to deal with that Zhou Ming, you have to rely on ourselves in the end!"
"Come on, I know that you were the one who said that you could rely on the Chinese's 'characteristics' that they liked internal strife to let the Li family deal with Zhou Ming. You have indeed inherited the Anglo-Saxon tradition..."
In the castle, countless gentlemen dressed in kind were shouting desperately, as if they had never had such a happy quarrel.
As the owner of the castle, Jack still sat upright in his position, motionless, like a lifeless wax figure, not participating in their discussion at all.
As they were arguing, these people realized that there was no point in quarreling like this, so they turned their eyes to Jack and asked him: "Old Morgan, what should we do now? Should we teach these 'crawling' guys who are cunning and untrustworthy?"
"I don't object. After all, I attach great importance to commitment. Those untrustworthy guys need to help God tell them what is right and what is wrong." Jack finally said, "It's just that I hope you guys can do a decent job this time. If you are so noisy as you are now, I don't think I'd mind knocking you away."
