After half an hour.

Zhong Xiaokai and Zhong Xiaoai came to Shanshui Manor.

The two had long heard that this mountain and water manor was the only manor villa in Jingzhou.

There is also a dedicated golf course inside.

As soon as she entered the manor, Zhong Xiaoai was still a little surprised.

It was bigger than she had imagined.

He couldn't help but said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that there is such a luxurious manor in Jingzhou."

But Zhong Xiaokai had seen it so many times that he didn't think it was a big deal.

He smiled and said, “There are many manors you don’t know about that are more luxurious than this.”

Zhong Xiaoai thought Zhong Xiaokai was mocking her for being ignorant, so she curled her lips and didn't respond.

The two followed the butler who came to pick them up.

As he walked, he looked around the interior of the manor.

Zhong Xiaokai said: "This is very different from when Zhao Ruilong was here."

"What's the difference?" Zhong Xiaoai asked curiously:

Zhong Xiaokai replied:

“It should be less luxurious than before, but with more connotation.”

"Look at these trees, they must have been newly planted."

As he spoke, Zhong Xiaokai nodded.

"Hmm...good taste."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai smiled and said, "That's right."

"Qi Tongwei is different from Zhao Ruilong."

As they spoke, the two followed the butler to the door of the villa.

Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin were already waiting at the door.

See the Zhong siblings.

Qi Tongwei greeted him with a smile and stepped forward and said:

"Welcome to Shanshui Manor."

"Xiao Kai, I knew you would come."

Zhong Xiaokai smiled and said, "Your guess is quite accurate then."

"It was your idea to take me to the rescue center, right?"

Qi Tongwei glanced at Zhong Xiaoai, and they both laughed.

Gao Xiaoqin also greeted the two of them.

"We'll all be friends from now on."

"If you two don't mind, I'll call you Xiao Ai and Xiao Kai."

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Gao Xiaoqin with a smile.

This was the second time I met her, the first time was in the hotel.

She admitted that Gao Xiaoqin was not only beautiful, but also had a mature charm.

The most important thing is that he knows how to do business, and he is considered Qi Tongwei's right-hand man.

In comparison, apart from my good looks and decent figure, I really don't have any other advantages.

This was the first time in her life that Zhong Xiaoai felt a hint of inferiority.

You still have to be more generous in front of Qi Tongwei.

Zhong Xiaoai smiled and said, "Of course no problem, we'll be friends from now on."

Qi Tongwei said: "Then let's not stand and talk, let's talk while we eat."

Then, the manor steward brought a few people to the restaurant.

After sitting down.

Qi Tongwei said to the Zhong siblings:

"I know you've eaten all sorts of delicacies, so let's try something different today."

"And I guess you probably haven't eaten it before."

This aroused Zhong Xiaokai's curiosity.

Is there anything in the world that he hasn't eaten?

Zhong Xiaoai frowned and said, "It can't be a wild animal, right? I don't eat that kind of thing."

"no no……"

Qi Tongwei smiled and waved his hand, "Of course not."

Soon, the dishes were served.

Just six simple dishes.

The chef opened the lids one by one and introduced them in his dialect.

"Skinned sweet potatoes, stewed fish heads, stewed chicken with mushrooms..."

Zhong Xiaokai took a look and said with a smile:

"Old Qi, why did you keep me in suspense for so long? That's all."

Gao Xiaoqin, who was standing by, was afraid that he would look down on these home-cooked dishes.

He quickly explained for Qi Tongwei: "Xiao Kai, this is different. You will know if you try it."

Qi Tongwei smiled but said nothing.

Zhong Xiaoai picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let me try it."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of sweet potato and put it in his mouth.

Then he said in surprise: "Hmm... It's delicious. It's different from what I eat in a restaurant."

Zhong Xiaokai also took a sip of the chicken soup.

Unexpectedly, the taste was amazing.

Then he showed an incredible expression.

Qi Tongwei then smiled and explained:

"I specially asked someone to go to the mountains to purchase these things."

Zhong Xiaokai asked curiously, "That's not right."

"I eat farm food occasionally, but it doesn't taste like this."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "The food you eat is just farm food at best."

"My dishes are not only original, but the chef is also different."

Then he pointed at the chef and said:

"He's a big banquet chef in the countryside. Have you ever eaten a big banquet in the countryside?"

The Zhong siblings shook their heads.

They have never eaten any rural banquets.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "You have been away from the countryside for too long."

"These dishes are all made by this chef using rural banquet techniques, and they are authentic."

"I come from the countryside. In the past, if someone had a big event, they would be happy for several days after having a big feast."

As Qi Tongwei was speaking, the Zhong siblings did not hold back and kept showing off.

The taste is indeed different from any restaurant they have ever eaten at.

Gao Xiaoqin couldn't help laughing when she saw the two of them eating with relish.

I have to say, Qi Tongwei is really good at arrangements.

Even if they invite a chef from a five-star hotel today, it may not have the same effect.

Soon, they were full and satisfied.

Gao Xiaoqin suggested taking Zhong Xiaoai to visit the manor.

I want Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaokai to chat alone for a while.

Zhong Xiaoai also wanted to digest her food, so she followed Gao Xiaoqin out.

Only Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaokai were left in the lounge.

Therefore, the two of them went straight to the point.

Zhong Xiaokai asked directly:

"Lao Qi, you asked me to cooperate twice. I want to ask why you asked me to cooperate with you twice."

"I guess with your ability, what you want to do shouldn't be difficult to do?"

Qi Tongwei admires this point of Zhong Xiaokai the most.

He has the pride of the second generation, but without the arrogance.

So he smiled and replied: "I don't have three heads and six arms, I always need help."

Since we are going to cooperate, some things must be made clear.

Otherwise, if you keep it secret, you will inevitably make people guess about it later.

Then, Qi Tongwei's expression became serious.

"Xiao Kai, I'll be honest with you. I want to cooperate with you just to take advantage of your background."

Hearing such straightforward words, Zhong Xiaokai couldn't help but frown.

Just wanted to say something.

Qi Tongwei knew what he was thinking, raised his hand and said:

"Listen to what I have to say."

"First of all, let me tell you that what I do is not for the sake of making money."

"It's to prevent those poor sick compatriots from losing both their money and their lives."

"Background and connections are good things. I don't think there's anything wrong with mentioning them."

"But this thing is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can save a lot of trouble, but if used poorly, it can backfire."

Zhong Xiaokai naturally has a deep understanding of this.

The Zhong family is worried that a backlash will come one day.

Otherwise he would not have sold Yida Group.

But he was worried, so he asked:

"Then how do I know there won't be any backlash if I cooperate with you?"

"Why are you able to use this double-edged sword so well?"
