When Tong Lin finished drinking the red wine in the cup, he poured another half a cup for him. This time, he said, "Xia Tian, you really haven't drunk any wine, this kind of wine is not for drinking, but for taking a small sip of the wine. Right, you know, and when you taste it in your mouth, don't gulp it down right away, but rather put it in your mouth and taste it slowly with your tongue, that way you can get the true value of the top grade red wine. After Tong Lin finished speaking, he indicated for Xia Tian to give it a try.
Xia Tian picked up the wine cup, and slowly tasted a grade, savoring the taste in his mouth, using his tongue to feel them. It was indeed different. At the same time, he thought, "This is what life is like!"
"Uncle Tong, your taste is really different. It seems that I have to learn the taste of this red wine from you, so that others won't make fun of me in the future." Xia Tian said.
Tong Lin said: Alright, we will discuss this later. Oh right, Xia Tian, who else is in your family?
Xia Tian: "I am an orphan, I grew up in an orphanage. Five years ago, a big torch burned all of our orphanages into ashes, and I am the only one who survived the fire, but it was also a narrow escape for me. After Xia Tian finished speaking, his nose turned sour, but he endured it.
Tong Tian saw that many people did not make a sound, thus he broke the silence, and said: "Xia Tian, you do not have to live in the past, people have to face the reality, no matter how much suffering you had in the past, it is now a thing of the past, so you have to face the future properly and think about how to leave in the future. If you do not mind, you have to treat this place as your own home, living here will not cause you to think about the past anymore."
I know how I should leave in the future, and I also have something I want to do right now. Maybe I won't be able to stay here for long, but I'll come over for a few days if I have time. Xia Tian said.
Tong Tian replied, "Since you have your own life, I won't interfere too much. However, you have to come often to see an old man like me. I'm always in a daze in this manor, so I'm not afraid of you bothering me."
At this time, Tong also spoke, and said: "Brother, you also came to see me, you promised me, if not, you would be a bad person."
Facing Tong's childishness, everyone on the table laughed, as they swept away the previous oppressive atmosphere. Xia Tian said to Tong: "Alright, I will definitely come to see Tong, so, Tong, you have to wait at home for Big Brother's arrival, you don't have to run out again."
After they heard Xia Tian's words, they started laughing again, causing Tong to pout his mouth and continue to immerse himself in his food. This meal was passed in the midst of their idle chatter...
After eating, Xia Tian wanted to return to the hotel to rest, but no matter what, the people from Tong Family would not let him. Furthermore, they had also found out through Tong which hotel Xia Tian stayed in, so they went to check out the rooms that Xia Tian had booked.
In the afternoon, because Tong Tian had already gone back to his room to rest, Xia Tian and Tong Lin stayed in the living room to chat, carefully and suddenly reminding Xia Tian to give those jewels to Tong Lin for auction, because Tong Family had a great influence over there, it would be worth a good price to auction for the Tong Family and it could also be used to conceal one's identity.
Xia Tian saw that what he said made sense, and said to Tong Lin: "Uncle Tong, I have something to trouble you with, I hope you won't take offense to it."
Tong Lin said: "Xia Tian, there is no need to speak such kind words between us. If there is anything you want to say, just say it, I will definitely help you finish it." Tong Lin did not ask Xia Tian what the problem was and just sent a vote, showing that he had a lot of power.
"Uncle Tong, I want to entrust these jewels to you for me to auction." Xia Tian said, and then took out the rare blue diamonds, red diamonds, and the green diamonds. He then continued, "These diamonds were given to me by an old man when he was on his deathbed, and because I wanted to do something, I didn't start the fund, so I wanted to sell these diamonds. I wonder if Uncle Tong can help me with this favor."
Tong Lin said: "Xia Tian, you need some money so just say it, no need to sell these expensive jewelry. You don't know that these diamonds of yours are all rare things in this world. Every value is immeasurable. Put it away. " It was obvious that Tong Lin was someone who knew what was good for himself. When he saw the luster emitted from the diamonds, he could tell that they were pure and did not contain any impurities. Furthermore, every single one of them was as big as an infant's fist. Tong Lin was currently unable to estimate its value.
After Xia Tian heard Tong Lin's words, he said: "Uncle Tong, you don't have to say anything else, I will not take your money, and I insist on selling it, so, Uncle Tong, help me sell them."
Seeing Xia Tian's determination, Tong Lin knew that Xia Tian was a stubborn person, so he said no more. "Xia Tian, since you want to sell it, then I will help you, and it just so happens that there's an auction at New York auction house in the day after tomorrow, I will hand it over to them for them to handle.
"Then, I'll have to thank Uncle Tong. When the time comes, I'll go to the auction house to have a look." Xia Tian said.
Tong Lin and Xia Tian discussed further details with each other when they saw Tong Sen walk in from the outside, and said: "Xia Tian, have you finished talking? You came to New York but didn't even take a good look around. Come, let me bring you out to experience the prosperity of New York. "
Tong Lin saw that Tong Sen's words were true, and said: "That's right, Xia Tian, you guys can go outside for a walk. I still have to go to the company later, so I won't be accompanying you guys.
After Tong Sen heard Tong Lin's words, without waiting for him to agree, he pulled Xia Tian out and walked towards the exit. When they were outside, without saying a word, Tong Sen stuffed Xia Tian into the luxurious Rolls Lawn business car and said to the driver: "Xiao Zhang, head to the Hua Gang Headquarters."
Little Zhang replied, "Yes, Mister Tong."
Xiao Zhang drove the car out of Tong Family Court and headed towards the center of New York City. Rolls-Royce was indeed worthy of being a top class luxury car. Suddenly, his words resonated in Xia Tian's mind, "Master, you can ask Tong Sen to bring you to Las Vegas. There are a lot of casinos there, you can go there to show off your skills, hehe."
Xia Tian thought about it, and since he was prepared to go, there was nothing else he could do, so he might as well settle this matter first. Thinking about it, he said to Tong Sen: "Uncle Tong, let's not go to the center of New York to play, I want to go to Las Vegas to see if it's really like the legends." Xia Tian did not finish his sentence.
Tong Sen said: "Xia Tian, you want to go to Las Vegas? "No problem, I haven't been there for a long time, so let's go there." After Tong Sen finished speaking, he said to Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, change the route and head to Las Vegas."
Little Zhang replied, "Yes, Mister Tong."
Xiao Zhang was a tactful person, he would never say a word more. Otherwise, Tong Sen would not let him be his professional driver anymore.
The distance from New York to Las Vegas was only 60 kilometers, the convoy took almost an hour to get there. When Xia Tian looked out of the window, he saw many tall buildings, but as it was daytime, he did not see any flickering lights. Even though it was daytime, it still could not conceal its liveliness and prosperity.
Xia Tian and the rest stopped in front of a building called the Kai San Imperial Palace, immediately a doorman came over to help them force the carriage, following that, he saw a group of people coming out to welcome them, the main person said: "Welcome, Mr. Tong!"
It was obvious that Tong Sen's influence in Las Vegas was no less than his New York. Tong Sen said: "I came here today just to play, you guys can do your own business, don't worry about us." After Tong Sen finished speaking, he turned to Xia Tian and said, "Xia Tian, the Kai San Palace is the most luxurious casino in Las Vegas. The boss and I have a small conflict and they are afraid that I will cause trouble here, so they always send people to watch every time I come here. If you are able to win later, then don't hesitate to win, don't worry about it. "
Hearing Tong Sen's words, Xia Tian laughed and said: "Looking at the passionate looks from the people at the casinos, I thought you guys were friends. As for whether or not I can win, that would depend on my luck, hur hur … "
Tong Sen said: "How can there be a friendship between us, let's not talk about it anymore, let's go, let's go in."
Thus, Tong Sen and the rest of the ten plus people walked inside.
