"Farewell, sir!"
As Lin Chen's retreating figure disappeared from view, the bespectacled man bowed respectfully, his expression filled with sincerity.
"Mr. Lin, is this thing useful?"
"I feel like this thing is like a pill from a TV drama."
As soon as Lin Chen left, a bodyguard looked at the bespectacled man and asked.
"This..."
Hearing the bodyguard's words, the bespectacled man frowned.
Indeed, the so-called medicine Lin Chen gave him was dark, crudely made, and emitted a pungent odor.
Could this thing really be eaten by people?
"Mr. Lin, should we investigate this person's identity before making a decision?"
Seeing the bespectacled man hesitate, the bodyguard asked again.
"No rush. Master Zhu already said that this young man is the only one who can save the boss."
"If we rashly investigate his identity and offend this gentleman, the boss will truly be beyond saving!"
The bespectacled man looked worried and sighed.
He glanced at the car Lin Chen had taken and then at the dark pill in his hand, feeling uncertain.
Should he trust this person or not?
"Mr. Lin, I think we can trust this person."
"There's no need to investigate his identity."
However, just as the bespectacled man was struggling, another bodyguard standing nearby suddenly stepped forward and said to him.
"Oh? Why?"
"Do you know this person?"
Hearing this, the bespectacled man became curious.
He knew that this bodyguard was originally from Zhejiang province, then joined the army, and after retiring, he joined the boss's company.
He had specifically brought him along this time to act as a guide.
"I don't know him, but I recognize the license plate of the car he just took."
The bodyguard shook his head, he had indeed never seen Lin Chen.
"That license plate, if I remember correctly, should be the vehicle of the eldest daughter of the foremost family in Zhejiang, Miss Long Yu Ling."
"When I was in the army, I served as a guard at the Governor's Mansion and personally saw Miss Long arrive at a banquet in this car."
"Since Miss Long sent her car to pick this person up, it means he must be trustworthy!"
The bodyguard said with certainty, explaining to the bespectacled man.
"I see."
After receiving the bodyguard's explanation, the bespectacled man nodded.
As the boss's secretary, he had heard of the Long family's reputation.
The Long family in Zhejiang was just a branch; the real headquarters of the Long family was in the capital.
He had even interacted with members of the Long family several times due to his position.
Although the Long family members were upright and trustworthy, all of them were arrogant and rarely acknowledged anyone.
Even their boss, despite his extraordinary status and impressive background, did not seem to impress the Long family.
Since this car belonged to Miss Long Yu Ling, it was sufficient proof that Long Yu Ling had approved of this person.
Coupled with Master Zhu's earlier words, it seemed that the pill in his hand could indeed be used!
"Let's go. We'll go upstairs to thank Master Zhu first, and then immediately charter a flight back to the capital."
Having figured out the crucial point, the bespectacled man finally felt at ease.
He then personally took the gifts that Master Zhu had discarded earlier from the car and returned to Master Zhu's doorstep.
"Why are you back? I told you, I won't save anyone. You should leave quickly."
Seeing the bespectacled man return, Master Zhu frowned and directly asked him to leave.
"Master Zhu, I've come to bid you farewell."
"The gentleman you recommended has agreed to save the person."
"This is the finest Da Hong Pao, a token of gratitude for your recommendation."
The bespectacled man placed the gift in front of Master Zhu and explained.
"Hmph, you think a bit of tea can dismiss me?"
Seeing the gift the bespectacled man had placed, Master Zhu smiled contemptuously.
"Ah? Master Zhu, what do you mean?"
Hearing Master Zhu's words, the bespectacled man was momentarily confused.
Before leaving the capital, he had specifically researched Master Zhu's character and knew that he was by no means greedy for money and rarely accepted gifts.
What was going on now? Was he displeased with his gift?
"Hmph, hmph. Go back and tell your boss that I, Zhu Wanfeng, owe him a debt of gratitude as vast as the heavens. If he truly wishes to repay it, he should come to Zhejiang himself when he has time and invite me to be a patron for his family."
"And, he must swear in his name to protect my ancestors and descendants for eighteen generations!"
Master Zhu said haughtily, his words completely stunning the bespectacled man.
"Master Zhu, do you mean you are willing to become a patron for my boss's family?"
Hearing this, the bespectacled man was truly shocked.
He had knelt at Master Zhu's doorstep for three days and three nights without being able to get Master Zhu to agree to save the person.
Why had his attitude changed so quickly now?
Not only did he accept the gift, but he also proactively offered to become a patron for their boss?
Why did Master Zhu suddenly change his mind?
"That's right. You can convey my request to your boss exactly as I said it."
"If he understands one day, he will come to Zhejiang himself to invite me."
"Also, when you go downstairs, you cannot take the elevator; you must use the stairs."
"As for the three steps and a bow, nine steps and a kowtow, that can be waived. Every step you climb, you must bow."
Master Zhu's arrogant demeanor and his words once again shocked the bespectacled man.
"Master Zhu, you are a renowned fortune teller. Surely you can guess my boss's identity, can't you?"
"Asking him to bow for every step is a bit..."
The bespectacled man looked troubled.
What was his boss's status, and how noble was he?
It was already incredibly difficult for him to be willing to come to Zhejiang himself to invite Master Zhu, and now he had to bow for every step? Was this madness?
"Hahaha, don't worry. You just need to relay my words. If the boss understands the key, let alone bowing for every step."
"Even three steps and a bow, nine steps and a kowtow, he would be more than happy to do."
"I'll accept the gift. Now, you may leave."
With that said, Master Zhu took the Da Hong Pao from the bespectacled man and closed the door.
Seeing the security door closed in front of him, the bespectacled man was still somewhat bewildered.
Had Master Zhu calculated too much and driven himself mad?
What was his boss's true identity?
Let alone a mere Master Zhu, even the current patriarch of the foremost family in the capital, the Long family, could not make his boss go through the ritual of three steps and a bow, nine steps and a kowtow to invite him.
