Rebirth of a powerful marriage

Chapter 2: I'm afraid this calculation will come to nothing.

Half an hour later, a private airship carrying the Zhuang family's grandfather and grandson landed slowly on the square in the front yard of the Lu family.

When Xu Zitai followed Zhuang Zhengmao out of the cabin door, he looked up at the magnificent and luxurious building of the Lu family, then supported Zhuang Zhengmao, and walked slowly towards the gate.

He is not too unfamiliar with this place. When Lu Zhaoming held his first private banquet three years ago, Xu Zitai, as the CEO of "Peak Tour", was invited to come here.But that time, they didn't talk for a long time, they just exchanged a few polite greetings with each other.

"Peak Tour" focuses on the middle and high-end noble market, while "Migrant Alliance" focuses on the mid-to-low end civilian market. There is not much competition between the two companies. At that time, "Peak Tour" was the leader in the spaceship manufacturing industry. For the "Migrants Alliance", a young junior who has just entered the low-end market from scratch, although on the surface, he is polite, but in private, he still somewhat looks down on it.

So much so that when Xu Zitai thinks of Lu Zhaoming now, he still stays in the impression that he was just a nodding acquaintance in the past.

He couldn't figure out what kind of means Lu Zhaoming, who was jokingly called "the upstart in the spaceship manufacturing industry" by the outside world, allowed the "Migration Alliance" to flourish quietly in just a few years. ?Even the current strength of the "Migration Alliance" is large enough to annex "Peak Tour"?

——It’s true that people can’t be judged by their appearance.

As soon as he and Zhuang Zhengmao stepped on the steps leading to the main entrance, they saw Li Xuecai, the housekeeper of the Lu family, jogging out to greet them.

This Li Xuecai, Xu Zitai has some impressions. When Lu Zhaoming first held a private banquet invitation a few years ago, he was ridiculed by many businessmen in the industry behind his back, waiting to see how he would make a fool of himself.But the facts proved that the private banquet was very successful and impeccable, and the person in charge of the banquet was this Li Xuecai.

Xu Zitai didn't know how Lu Zhaoming found such a talent as Li Xuecai, but he was able to make such a long-sleeved, dancing, and slick person willingly stay in Lu's as an unknown private housekeeper, which shows that Lu Zhaoming's methods of winning over people should not be underestimated.

"This... is Young Master Zhuang, right?" Li Xuecai exchanged greetings with Zhuang Zhengmao for a moment, and then set his eyes on Zhuang Ning. The smile on his face was amiable, with just the right amount of humility, so that the grandparents and grandson would not be overwhelmed by The family business was down and looked down upon.

Xu Zitai came back from the memories, out of politeness, he smiled and nodded to Li Xuecai.

Zhuang Zhengmao obviously had a good impression of Li Xuecai and knew his status in the Lu family, so he politely introduced: "That's right, this is my grandson, Zhuang Ning." He paused, then said meaningfully, "Ah Ning is not very experienced in the world, and doesn't know much about human relationships, in the future... I will ask Steward Li to take care of me."

"Oh, Mr. Zhuang, what are you talking about?" Li Xuecai was flattered, "If Master Zhuang enters our Lu family in the future, he will also be the master of my Li Xuecai. I will serve Zhuang with all my heart as if I were my own master. Young master, you can rest assured, old man!"

During the conversation, Li Xuecai led the two of them into the main entrance, and then climbed the antique-style spiral staircase to the second floor.

Li Xuecai always kept the position in front of them on the right. When he reached the door of the banquet hall, he gently opened the door and said respectfully: "My master is already waiting in the hall, please come inside."

Xu Zitai helped Zhuang Zhengmao into the banquet hall, and the first thing he entered was the busy maids in the hall.

In the 31st century, when human science and technology are developing rapidly, all kinds of intelligent robots can be seen everywhere. Most well-off families have purchased housekeeping robots to help with housework. However, no matter how smart the robots are, some difficult tasks are still difficult to complete independently. , the benefits of traditional servants are highlighted.

However, when human beings stepped into outer space, as the colonized planets were developed one after another, the population density of a unit planet dropped sharply. Correspondingly, the employment fee of servants became more and more expensive, greatly exceeding The price of a high-end intelligent robot.Ever since, the number of servants at home has become one of the ways for the rich to show off their wealth in disguise.

Seeing all the maids shuttling back and forth in front of him, the ostentation was even worse than that of the dealer, Xu Zitai could only sigh silently in his heart: local tyrant, Lu Zhaoming is really a real local tyrant.

At this time, Lu Zhaoming was standing at the long dining table with various foods, holding a glass of cocktail in his hand, took a sip, then frowned, turned his head and said something to the bartender beside him, The bartender nodded in response one by one, then took the glass from Lu Zhaoming's hand and stepped back.

Li Xuecai took this opportunity to walk up to Lu Zhaoming to inform him, so Lu Zhaoming turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, his eyes swept back and forth between Zhuang Zhengmao and Zhuang Ning, and then stopped on Zhuang Zhengmao with a gentle expression on his face With a smile, he stepped forward to meet him.

"Director Zhuang, Young Master Zhuang, long time no see." Lu Zhaoming first shook hands with Zhuang Zhengmao, and then passed his hand to Zhuang Ning who was beside him.

Zhuang Zhengmao was worried that Zhuang Ning would be rude because of the resistance in his heart, so he turned his head to look at Zhuang Ning. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ning had already stretched out his hand, with a natural expression on his face, he shook lightly with Lu Zhaoming, and then let go.During the whole process, his expression was very calm, even with a hint of a reserved smile, and his neither humble nor overbearing posture made it impossible for anyone to find a single fault.

Zhuang Zhengmao felt a little relieved, thinking that his grandson, usually ignorant and incompetent, was like a helpless fool, but he didn't expect that he was quite reliable at critical moments, at least he didn't embarrass him.

"Please take a seat, both of you." Lu Zhaoming made a gesture, leading Zhuang Zhengmao to the guest seat, and moved the chair for him himself.

Then he and Zhuang Ning sat under Zhuang Zhengmao's subordinates, one on the left and the other on the right - such a position arrangement, obviously regarded himself as Zhuang Zhengmao's junior, not an opponent at the negotiating table.

Seeing it, Xu Zitai admired silently in his heart: family banquet, family banquet, Lu Zhaoming's skill is really brilliant.As long as the old man is reassured that he married his grandson and handed over his power, it's only a matter of time before he wants to dismantle "Peak Tour" to the bone and eat it to the bone.

It's a pity that Lu Zhaoming's plan may come to nothing.Because the person sitting opposite him now was no longer the idiot prince Zhuang Ning who didn't understand anything, but Xu Zitai who had changed into a different skin.

Back then, Xu Zitai devoted himself to "Top Travel" for nearly ten years, and even gave up the idea of ​​starting a family for the sake of his career. He had already regarded "Top Travel" as his own child. This feeling, even compared to Mr. Zhuang's, I'm afraid No less.

Therefore, he will not just watch the century-old foundation of "Peak Tour" being slowly fed by the "Migrants Alliance" python, and finally disappear in the dust of history.
