"I want to ask, is your master always hugging like this every time he travels?"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Hearing Smith Zhou's question, the middle-aged man driving the car was taken aback for a moment, and then replied respectfully.
"No, Mr. Zhou. My master seldom uses such ostentation. Only on extremely important occasions, he will travel in this way. It is the first time you have enjoyed this kind of treatment as a guest .”
"So I should thank your master for treating me differently?"
Smith Zhou chuckled and said to him like this.From his tone, you can easily hear his provocative meaning.Obviously, he was deliberately embarrassing the middle-aged man driving in front.But the middle-aged man was not moved at all, but always maintained a humble but never flattering attitude, and responded to him.
"No, sir. The reason why I invite you with such etiquette is because you are worthy of such an attitude from my master. Not everyone is worthy of such an attitude from the Morgan family. Only a strong man like you can It is worthy of my master to do this. According to my master, this is the most basic respect for a strong man to another strong man. Respecting you is equivalent to respecting himself!"
"Interesting statement."
Nodding with a smile, Smith Zhou did not continue to dwell on this issue.The middle-aged man made it very clear.Respect is mutual, if you continue to be entangled like this.Then I'm afraid it's a little too ignorant.
And watching Smith Zhou just fell silent.The middle-aged man also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.Smith Week is not like those superheroes who hide their heads and show their tails.His image is not a secret to many people.And as a person who has served the Morgan family for half his life, this middle-aged man naturally understands how powerful and terrifying Smith Zhou is.
It can be said that in his heart, his current situation can be described as an ant carrying a giant dragon.Being able to maintain such an attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing is the reason why he has spent many years of self-cultivation and persevering desperately.
And before he could catch his breath.The sudden voice from Smith Zhou made him raise his heart involuntarily again.
"How many years have you worked for the Morgan family?"
A very common question, compared to the embarrassing words before, it is much gentler.Therefore, the middle-aged man had no place to hesitate, and gave his own reply directly.
"From my great-grandfather, our family has served the Morgan family for four generations. I have been a housekeeper for my lord since I was 20 years old, and it has been exactly 16 years now. From my great-grandfather to my generation, it is almost 150 years of history."
Four generations, almost 150 years.This means that each generation of his family has served the Morgan family for nearly 40 years.And what does 40 years mean? It means that a young man in his prime has become an old man with gray temples.
Not everyone can persist for such a long time, and not every family can persist in doing the same work for generations.In the middle-aged generation, he is still serving the Morgan family.This already shows that their family is completely tied to Morgan and has become a part of Morgan.
This is really rare.Because even the nobles in continental Europe may not have servants serving them for generations.This can only show that Morgan's background is really strong and admirable.Of course, what Smith Zhou saw was more than this. What he saw was the identity and status of the middle-aged man in front of him.
Although he is not a member of the Morgan family, he can serve the head of the Morgan family for 16 years, and it is under the premise of being the housekeeper of the Morgan family.He must have a very important position.It can be said that even if he is not the right-hand man that the Morgan family relies on as a pillar, he is still a first-class confidant.
Such a person must know some inside information that others do not know.So immediately, Smith Zhou asked him like this.
"Being able to serve the famous Morgan family for 150 years, I think you must be very important to the Morgan family. I think the current generation of Morgan parents must value you very much. Then I want to ask you Now, do you know why your master invited me to the banquet? Could it be a grand feast?"
Although he is a servant like the butler, the middle-aged man is serving the world's top family like Morgan after all.Therefore, even though Smith Zhou said an allusion that is very uncommon to Americans, he still understood the meaning of his words.
This made him immediately forcefully laugh with trembling in his heart.
"Guest, you are joking. My master just admires your heroic deeds, and wants to take this opportunity to make friends with you, and talk about cooperation and other things by the way. How can it be said that it is specially set up a grand banquet to target you?"
"I know, I'm just joking. Don't take it to heart!"
After saying this with a smile, Smith Zhou stopped talking to the middle-aged man.And the middle-aged man, who was afraid that he would fall into such a difficult situation again, stepped on the accelerator under his feet hard, speeding up his progress.
He was just too scared.So now he can only speed up his speed, trying to send this special guest to the destination as soon as possible.And with his efforts, the convoy belonging to the Morgan family finally came to a manor in the suburbs.
Unlike most manor houses in Beverly Hills.This huge manor was not built in the famous Beverly Hills, but in a remote place with few people.But that doesn't change its worth.Huge and solemn buildings, vast and lush courtyards, plus an artificially dug lake.This makes its value absolutely not lower than that of any Beverly Hills mansion, and it is even said that it is absolutely higher than that.
It can be seen that the owner of this manor is definitely a quiet person.Otherwise, with his financial resources, he could have the best mansion in the most luxurious area of Los Angeles.Of course, you can also understand liking quiet as another meaning.For example, get used to hiding in the shadows or something.
Since the Morgan family fell from the peak, it is almost impossible for them to climb back to the position they occupied back then.Although Morgan is still the most influential family in the world, it is much worse than when Peabody was alive.
They can't even get back the right to speak of J Morgan that belongs to them.Not to mention leading the direction of the entire Morgan consortium.Therefore, compared with those who stand on the stage and call the wind and rain, the only thing they can do is to hide in the dark corners and use sneaky means to calculate everything.
Smith Zhou actually didn't think highly of such a guy.But since they chose to get you out of the shadows at this time, then he doesn't mind, let's go and see what they want to do.
This thought gave him patience, allowing him to follow the guidance of the middle-aged butler safely all the way to the restaurant of the manor.
At this time, exquisite tableware and appetizing snacks are already set on the table in the restaurant.At the same time, a dark-haired old man who looked a bit shady was already sitting there, waiting for Smith Zhou to arrive.
Smith came in on Monday and the old man got up from his seat.He came forward graciously, and while holding Smith Zhou's hand affectionately, he showed him a friendly smile.
"I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, my friend. I'm so sorry that I didn't make up my mind to invite you until today. I think you must be confused why I came to invite you at this time!"
"Indeed, I am very confused. Because I know very well that there was no intersection between us before this. So I don't understand, what kind of reason drives you to meet me at this time?"
Nodding his head, Smith Zhou got to the point and asked his question.As for his question, the old man did not answer immediately, but stretched out his hand and said to him affectionately.
"I'll tell you about this later, my friend. Before that, I invite you to take a seat. In order to prepare today's dinner, I specially invited the best chef from France. The snails cooked by him And the veal steak is the best delicacy in the world. Plus a bottle of Patus that I just received, I think it should satisfy you."
Although Smith Zhou was a little impatient with the procrastination of the old man in front of him, he still had the patience to have a dinner.So he graciously sat in the guest's seat, and enjoyed this somewhat strange dinner with peace of mind.
For him, dinner was a good time.As the old man of the Morgan family said, the chef's craftsmanship is indeed magical for everyone to marvel at.Coupled with the best red wine in the Bordeaux region, this meal is indeed a treat.
And when he was full of wine and food and confirmed that Smith Zhou had no other requests, the old man clapped his hands and said to the butler.
"Owen, you can go out first. Also, don't let anyone in without my permission."
"Yes, sir!" Hesitantly glanced at the old man, and the middle-aged butler called Owen bowed and retreated.And it wasn't until he heard the sound of the door being closed that the old man stood up and said to Smith Zhou seriously.
"I'm so sorry, my friend. I forgot that I haven't had time to introduce myself. Here I need to add something to you. My name is John. John Vince Morgan. I am the current head of the Morgan family, and also the j Morgan's grandson."
If Peabody is the founder of the Morgan Empire, then J Morgan is the pinnacle of this empire.At his peak, J Morgan once claimed to be the creditor of the entire world.A quarter of the companies in the United States belong to the Morgan consortium, and the glory was born in his hands.It was also from him that the Morgan family officially continued as a top family.
Therefore, after j Morgan, the people of the Morgan family would always add their connection with him in their self-introduction.They are proving their blood and nobility in this way.In Smith Zhou's eyes, this is as ridiculous as a so-called famous dog at the Famous Dog Show holding its pedigree in its mouth to prove itself.
And now, he is indeed smiling very unkindly.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Mr. Zhou, what's so funny about this?"
Being ridiculed in this way on his proudest identity, this descendant of the Morgan family named John Vince was about to explode almost immediately.But I don't know if it's because of self-cultivation or fear.He didn't really break out in the end.Instead, he pressed his throat and asked him this question.
Facing such a problem, Smith Zhou just picked up his wine glass unhurriedly, took a sip of the so-called best red wine in the Bordeaux region, and then showed a grim smile, disdainful to him said.
"Isn't it ridiculous to hang the name of a dead guy on his head all day long, and then proudly show it off?"
"Mr. Zhou, please pay attention to your words!" John Vince couldn't help but patted the table heavily, and John Vince began to grit his teeth. "The person you're commenting on is my grandfather. You're slandering his life's work!"
"Did I slander him?" Picking his fingers, Smith Zhou answered casually, without caring. "It seems that I only told one truth from the beginning. That is J Morgan is dead. What, did I poke your sore spot? Remind you that your family has long since lost its glory and fell to the bottom. For a lifetime Is it the reality that we can only rely on the name of a dead person to survive?”
"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at comforting people. If what I said hurts you, please bear with it. Bear with it and it will pass. Isn't this what your family has been used to for 100 years?" ?”
Sarcasm, merciless irony.Smith Zhou's words were like steel knives, scraping away the pride that John Vince had struggled to maintain all his life, directly gouging out the most painful and powerless truth in his heart.
Yes, it is indeed a great thing to be proud of having a distinguished and impressive ancestor.However, if you simply don't have the ability to inherit your ancestors, you won't even be able to keep the legacy they left behind.Then you, as a descendant with the same surname, are obviously not qualified.
No matter how the Morgan family wants to explain it, they can't change a fact.That is, the Morgan family has been reduced from a host to a guest.Even to the point of being an unpopular guest.If it weren't for the name of J Morgan to protect them, they wouldn't even have any say in the current Morgan consortium.Especially after Morgan was divided into Big Morgan and Little Morgan, their rights plummeted.
Maybe some people will still remember Morgan's name in these years, but if they continue to live up to their expectations, then in another ten or twenty years, those who have witnessed the glory of J Morgan, and those who have friendship with the Morgan family Who cares who Morgan is after he's gone?
