Iron Bull Legend

"Have you figured it out now, or has your conscience finally gotten over it? Old Dai, you have a problem with your character, do you know that? Are you clear about it?" Tie Niu gently patted David's cheek, as if he was teaching his nephew a lesson, and he didn't take the leader of their bounty hunters seriously or treat them as a dish. At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Tie Niu slowly sat down and returned to his calm demeanor, with a sunny smile on his face.

David trotted to the door and gently opened it, then saw Li Xiaowan, a girl whose eyes widened at him, standing there with a respectful man, with their hands hanging down, more obediently than a kindergarten kid.

"Come in, Dasha, this is the friend I want to introduce to you. He is the leader of the bounty hunters, David." Tie Niu didn't care at all that there was an outsider, Li Xiaowan, here, and didn't want to protect David's mysterious identity at all.

"Haha, hello, Mr. David." The big fool Cheng Kuixi was not really stupid. When he saw Tie Niu, the prince, say this, he did not take David seriously. He simply stretched out his hand respectfully and stood straight beside Tie Niu.

Li Xiaowan was the first to quickly replace the cold tea for Tie Niu, and made a cup of hotter tea. She respectfully and cautiously placed the cup in front of Tie Niu. He had seen Dasha Ge standing upright respectfully, and he was really sure that the young man's identity was really not simple. However, as a girl, he really didn't know what the bounty hunter's alpha wolf meant.

Li Xiaowan poured another cup of tea for Dasha Ge, added some water for David and went out again. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard the young man speak.

"Dasha, are things going smoothly over there? Sit down and have a cup of tea, and let's chat," Tieniu greeted Dasha, looking very friendly and even with the majesty of a superior.

"Prince, it has been done. Please rest assured. The scale and quality of the event are top-notch. I have already booked a reception for the journalists. You don't have to worry about the souvenirs. The standard is one thousand US dollars per person. Do you think it's okay? If it's not enough, I'll add more."

"Okay, Dasha, I trust you to do the job. You've done a great job. You, David, cooperate with Dasha to hold a press conference tomorrow. Tonight or tomorrow morning, when all the Western reporters are in place, you should speak out boldly and tell them all about the grievances you've suffered. It's best if you cry bitterly. Let people all over the world know about the atrocities of Japan. They actually dared to attack the citizens of the United States. They really don't know what's good for them. They don't want to get along with the United States anymore. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, what you said makes sense, very reasonable. What I said will make Japan fully aware of the consequences of offending our beautiful people. Mr. Tie, don't you think it would be a good idea to release the information you mentioned this time?" David suddenly offered.

"Some things should be fermented. Do you think that news can be seen by all righteous people at once? No, so let everyone have a process of slowly accepting it. After everyone accepts it and knows about Japan's atrocities, it will arouse everyone's anger. Do you think people's emotions need time to accumulate?"

"Oh, I see." David acted as if he really knew what Tie Niu meant. He acted as if he had suddenly realized something. His actions made people want to laugh.

"Okay, David, you and Dasha go discuss the details of tomorrow's press conference. You can discuss it yourselves. Don't bother me about other things. I will leave early today or tomorrow morning. Don't disturb me." Tie Niu waved his hand and started to drive people away.

Just as the two of them walked to the door, Tie Niu shouted to Dasha again: "Dasha, go find Michiko and get to know each other. She's next door to me."

"Okay, Prince, I'll go meet Michiko first, and then discuss the press conference with David." Dasha happily left. Several people in the room walked out, and Li Xiaowan quickly tiptoed into the room.

She deftly cleared the tea set on the table. Her movements were so gentle that there was no noise at all. Tie Niu also closed his eyes quietly and began to think about things.

Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. I don't know how the situation in Yangcheng is now. Tomorrow is the eighth day, which is also the time for various government agencies, enterprises and institutions to go to work. Tie Niu is thinking about whether he should rush back to Yangcheng tonight. It is really inappropriate for him to rush back on the first day of work as a mayor.

Leading by example has always been his principle. Only by correcting oneself can he correct others. However, at present, the place where he is is still the ancestral land of the Eagle Country. It has not yet arrived in 1997. Only in 1997 can he return to the embrace of the motherland.

Now, it is still in the lease period and is still a territory of the Eagle Country. Although it is only a very close distance, it is also considered going abroad. Tie Niu can go through normal channels and return to the country through the border without any problem.

"Mr. Tie, do you have time next?" Li Xiaowan said softly and gently beside Tie Niu, fearing that a louder voice would interrupt the thoughts of the young man in front of her.

"Hmm? Xiaowan, is there anything you need?" Tie Niu slowly opened his eyes, staring at the delicate girl in front of him with obsidian eyes.

"Didn't you say you wanted to meet and talk with our boss? I have already reported the matter to the higher-ups, and our boss just happened to be coming over. I wonder when is a convenient time for you?" Li Xiaowan still brought up the subject of why she was disturbing the mysterious young man in front of her.

"Okay, we can do it now. I have nothing to do anyway. I can meet with the owner of Peninsula Hotel to learn from him and exchange ideas on hotel management." Tie Niu suddenly became interested.

"Well, our boss's surname is Ji, and his given name is Hongyuan. He has already booked a banquet in the private room downstairs. Please go downstairs and have a few drinks, sir." Li Xiaowan told Tie Niu the boss's name, and seeing that Tie Niu had stood up, she led the way.

"Ji Hongyuan, what a nice name. Thank you, Xiaowan. By the way, does Boss Ji Hongyuan like tea or wine?" Tie Niu asked with a smile. After all, he was the one who invited the other party to meet him, and it would be impolite not to bring some gift, so he asked.

"Both are our boss's favorites, but our boss is a bit picky and rarely drinks ordinary tea and red wine.

"How elegant! Wait a minute, I happen to have these two items here. They can be considered as a gift for our first meeting. I'll take them out right away." Tie Niu walked to the closed cupboard, reached in and took out a tea cake and a bottle of red wine. It was Romanee-Conti, the one he often drank.

"Sir, the red wine you have is Romanee-Conti, which is exactly the one our boss likes the most. You have really hit the spot for our boss. He said a few days ago that there are very few wines of this type with enough years. I see that the one you have is from 1957, and it is a one-of-a-kind piece." Li Xiaowan could tell the extraordinaryness of this red wine at a glance.

The only thing he did not comment on was the ordinary tea cake with simple packaging, because he was not familiar with it. If he knew that this ordinary tea cake was more than a hundred years old, his jaw would drop.

"That's perfect. A sword is given to a hero, and red wine is presented to a confidant. I have taken the right item. Please lead the way, Miss Xiaowan." Tie Niu said as he walked forward slowly. He saw two girls with delicate faces standing by the door, and he understood that after Cheng Kuixi met with Mr. Wu, the other party, additional service staff were added.

Tie Niu and Li Xiaowan chatted and laughed as they came to the private room downstairs. As soon as they entered the room, they found that it was antique and all were mahogany furniture. Moreover, judging from all the furnishings, this was probably the owner's exclusive room and not one that was open to the public.

The items displayed on the antique shelf are all antiques that are often played with. From the patina on the antiques, it can be seen that the owner loves these items. Ji Hongyuan is not in the room, and Tie Niu just stands there and looks at them carefully.

"Sir, are you also interested in antiques? These are the boss's favorite things. The boss comes here every now and then, sometimes with three or two close friends. They burn incense and drink tea here. When they are in the mood, they open a bottle of red wine and have a few drinks." Li Xiaowan couldn't stop talking about these things beside Tie Niu. It was obvious that he often accompanied the boss.

"As for me, haha, how should I put it? My family has a small collection, and I have opened several antique shops in the mainland. I can be considered a half-expert," Tie Niu also became interested and said softly.

"Oh, what's the name of the shop you opened?" A deep voice came from behind Tie Niu. It was obvious that the person who came was also an expert with strong energy.

"Cang Tianxia, ​​I wonder if Ji Sheng has heard of it?" Tie Niu turned around slowly and saw the person coming. He was an old man in his sixties. Although his hair was a little gray, there were more black hair than white hair, which showed that the old man was in good health. There were only a few wrinkles on his face, which showed that he was still good at maintaining his self-cultivation.

"Ah... You are the owner of Zang Tianxia? I know that. Isn't your last name Tie?" Ji Hongyuan was surprised and took a few quick steps to come to Tie Niu. It can be seen that he only knew about Tie Niu's reputation, otherwise he would not be so nervous.

"Haha, it seems that Ji Sheng understands me, and is also aware of Zang Tianxia's past." Tie Niu faced Ji Hongyuan calmly, his eyes level with the other party's, and the friendliness in his eyes could still be felt by the other party.

"Of course, Zang Tianxia is the most famous antique shop in the mainland. Many of my friends often mention that they only sell genuine goods, and they are honest and fair in price. I really didn't expect to see the real person in the shop today." Ji Hongyuan praised Zang Tianxia with great appreciation.

"Thank you for your fair evaluation. However, I have basically stopped participating in the management of Zang Tianxia in recent years. It has been taken care of by my aunt. I wonder if you have been to the mainland recently?" Tie Niu explained the reason and also wanted to know whether the other party had paid attention to him recently.

"Haha, I won't hide it from you, my friend. I want to go to the mainland soon. After all, the antique market here has been visited by several old friends of mine. So, I thought of going to the mainland to buy some items of my choice. However, the mainland has extremely strict restrictions on the antique market, and I can't bring anything out." Ji Hongyuan expressed his helplessness.

"Haha, Ji Sheng, if the country does not strictly control, then many Chinese heritages will be taken out of the country and will be cut off. I hope Ji Sheng will not break these taboo management systems. If it is after 1997, it is okay to bring them here for everyone to exchange ideas."

"Yes, but if I can't play with the things I like, I will feel itchy. If 1997 comes soon, we will be unified with the mainland and return to the mainland soon. How great it would be. I can go back when I have nothing to do and see those treasures."

"Ji Sheng's wish will not be far away. With the rapid development of the mainland, this day will come soon. However, during this period of time, Ji Sheng can also travel more to the mainland. The development of the country has left many business opportunities for people of insight like you, allowing patriotic people like you to discover and develop. And, what about those antiques and cultural relics? Don't you agree?"
