Chapter 435: Speak Politely
Inside the villa, Xu Cheng, Luo Yi, Li Wei, and Auntie Lan were sitting by the table.
Auntie Lan was making tea, mainly because those three men basically knew nothing about tea and it was a complete waste for them to make it.
Li Wei and Luo Yi had scolded Lin Dong for messing up the tea, and Auntie Lan later came out and then scolded them for messing up the tea.
Then, Auntie Lan personally taught them all how to make it.
When Lin Han’s family came in, they saw Auntie Lan making tea there. If one were to compete in the art of tea with a maid of a big family like Auntie Lan, they would lose brutally for sure.
Auntie Lan knew very well how to free the tea aroma and nutrition from the leaves, and her technique of making tea was simply an art to look at that even Lin Han was drawn into watching and didn’t dare to interrupt.
The family of four just stood by the door and didn’t want to break the atmosphere.
Seeing Auntie Lan taking such a long time, Luo Yi was getting a bit impatient. “Auntie, is it almost done? How come when you make tea, it smells so good? I can’t wait to drink it anymore.”
Auntie Lan smacked Luo Yi’s hand, which had been inching towards the tea, and glared at him, “You three wasted a big portion of the Da Hong Pao. Even if your hearts aren’t aching, mine is. I will make the rest of the tea so no more is wasted. I will scold whoever wastes any more of this treasure.”
Li Wei pointed at Xu Cheng. “Then you should scold him.”
“Young Master brought this tea over, he’s obviously allowed to waste it.”
Auntie Lan obviously wouldn’t dare to blame the young master.
Xu Cheng then raised his head and looked at Lin Dong and the others by the door. “Come on in. I just moved in, and there isn’t enough furniture in the villa for now so there might not be enough seats. If you can find one, sit, or just stand.”
There was definitely nothing wrong with that, even the maid was standing. The four of the Lin Family obviously didn’t dare to sit down, since they were here to ask a favor anyways.
After Auntie Lan made the tea, she passed three small cups to Luo Yi, Li Wei, and Xu Cheng.
The three of them savored the smell before finally sipping the tea.
When Lin Han smelled this fresh aroma like that of an orchid, he was sure it was Da Hong Pao. He swallowed his spittle, feeling a bit thirsty.
Then, Luo Yi took out another cup and passed it to Lin Dong, smiling and saying, “Brat, here, have a taste. I’m still waiting on your delivery of a truckload of this.”
Lin Dong bitterly smiled. He accepted the cup and awkwardly said, “I don’t understand tea, sorry that I made a fool out of myself.”
Lin Han directly took the cup from Lin Dong’s hand and then took a deep breath, slowly savoring the aroma. At last, he said very enjoyingly, “This is indeed Wuyi Mountain’s original Da Shan Pao.”
Auntie Lan said in disdain, “It’s an insult to the tea to have that come out of your mouth.”
“Yeah.” Lin Han didn’t get angry by the remark at all. “I’m just a vulgar person, a businessman that can only ride the waves, and I indeed don’t deserve to drink this tea. It is an honor that I’m fortunate enough to see this tea up close in my lifetime.”
Then, he bowed deeply to Xu Cheng and said, “Mr. Xu, I apologize for my behavior from earlier, these little gifts have my sincerest apologies.”
Inside the bags were expensive brand-name watches and other luxury items like men’s perfumes, jades, and sandalwood beads.
After Xu Cheng put down the teacup, he looked up at Lin Han and said, “You should’ve heard what I said to you before. Me taking your son in as an apprentice is just between me and him, I won’t use the Lin Family’s name for personal interest or convenience. But, vice versa, you don’t need to try to suck up to me with these little gifts. You can leave with these bags, just Dong needs to stay.”
“Xu…” Lin Dong’s big brother was about to say something rude, but he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Han as his father elbowed him. Lin Han immediately smiled and bowed again to Xu Cheng. “Then sorry to interrupt your night, we will get going now. Mr. Xu, if you have time, you can find me via Dong anytime, I really want to treat you to dinner sometime to express my apology.”
Li Wei: “You are free to leave.”
The maid came over to gesture for the guests to leave.
Lin Han grabbed his elder son and wife and immediately walked out of the door.
Her wife kept on sneaking peeks at Auntie Lan with a weird look.
After coming out, Young Master Lin finally snapped, “So facking arrogant!”
Pa!
Lin Han directly slapped him across the face. “Did you not see my attitude just now? That tea is really Da Hong Pao, the hand-picked original ones that are special supply, not the mass-produced sh*t we drink! Did you not see? There are at least 50 grams on that table! For a tea that only produces 400 grams per year, there are 50 grams here! With what kind of big background could someone get their hands on 50 grams of this? Let me tell you, even our country’s mayor or secretary probably hasn’t even seen a leaf of this tea, but there are 50 grams here! You almost facked over our family’s future just now, did you know?”
Young Master Lin held his burning face and said, “But it felt like we were shoving our warm face over but he’s just giving us the cold azz… Do we really have to suck up to him that much?”
Lin Han’s face darkened. “Did you forget about your little brother? At least he didn’t kick away Little Dong, which means at least he acknowledges him as an apprentice now. With Dong on his side, wouldn’t it be the same if Dong knows him as the Lin Family knows him? If you acted rudely just now, you would only make it difficult for Dong. Don’t make more trouble, just get into the car and we will wait for news.”
The three of them got into the car. At this time, Mommy Lin was still in a daze.
Lin Han turned around to ask her, “What’s up with you? Why didn’t you say anything this whole time?”
Mommy Lin mumbled, “I think I’ve seen that lady before from somewhere, but I can’t remember off the top of my head…”
Then, after a while of thinking when Lin Han just started the car, his wife suddenly exclaimed, “Holy moly! I remember now! Old Lin, I just remembered who it was that I just saw back in there! Do you know Shu Ting Real Estate?”
“Of course, the biggest real estate company in Shangcheng, the 4th biggest in the country, who doesn’t know?” Lin Han said, “I just know that this company is very mysterious.”
“That lady just now, she’s the chairwoman of Shu Ting Real Estate! That’s right, I remember now! When that real estate company was hosting a party, I went with a few other noble ladies, and back then, I even went up to have a drink with her. She probably forgot about me now. I remember now, it’s her!”
Then, Lin Han’s wife immediately took out her phone and did a quick search, and she found information on Lan Ting.
“Old Lin, take a look. Isn’t she the lady inside?”
Lin Han and their elder son immediately moved over and looked, and they were immediately shocked.
Under Lan Ting’s profile, there was Shu Ting Real Estate, which had a market value of more than a hundred billion yuan. To be lowkey, on the profile, it only wrote that Lan Ting had 51% of the company’s shares, but it was still impressive enough.
Asset valuation: tens of billions of dollars!
Li Han suddenly thought of something, and he immediately asked his son, “Did you hear what she called Dong’s teacher?”
Of course Young Master Lin heard it. He swallowed his spittle and said, “I-I think, she called him Young Master?”
Lin Han’s wife: “Then what would be Dong’s teacher’s background?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lin Han immediately sent a short text to Lin Dong’s phone.
Lin Dong picked up his phone, and he just saw two words, “Speak politely”
