"Ha ha, Second Brother, Third Brother, the person we've been waiting for has arrived. Look, it's him, the military big shot from the capital, Shi Hao. He hasn't even turned forty and has already become a Colonel; his future is limitless. I got to know him by chance, and this time he’s here representing the government for this auction. You know how some of Old Li's collectibles are national treasures; they can be auctioned off, but they absolutely must not fall into foreign hands," Zhou Pingyong said with a beaming smile.
"A Colonel, that's indeed a high rank. The next step up would be Major General Jiang," Zhou Pingming remarked with a sense of awe.
"Even that kid Jiang Chen wouldn't dare to oppose someone from the military," Zhou Pingnan added.
"Come on, let me take you to meet Shi Hao," Zhou Pingyong said with a grin, striding over to Shi Hao.
"Shi Da Xiao, long time no see! Since you’re in Hangcheng this time, you must let me show you some hospitality," Zhou Pingyong said cheerfully. Although he acted as if he were very familiar with Shi Hao, like old friends reuniting, the slight bend in his back and the nervousness in his tone revealed that he didn't have much standing in front of Shi Hao.
Few people present knew Shi Hao's true identity. When Zhou Pingyong approached, Shi Hao's gaze lingered on him for more than five seconds.
Finally, amidst Zhou Pingyong's anxious wait, Shi Hao seemed to come to a realization but showed no other expression and simply said, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Zhou."
The Zhou family was merely a second-tier family in Hangcheng. Shi Hao's young age and rank as a Colonel indicated his qualifications, strength, and background were all exceptional. The Zhou family was beneath his notice; however, he didn’t treat them too coldly and remembering Zhou Pingyong was already quite generous.
Zhou Pingyong had few expectations; just the fact that Shi Hao remembered him was enough to make him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Shi Da Xiao, this is my Second Brother Zhou Pingming and my Third Brother Zhou Pingnan. They both admire you greatly," Zhou Pingyong introduced.
Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan quickly greeted Shi Hao in a subservient manner, their demeanor lacking any dignity.
Shi Hao merely glanced at them and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The three brothers from the Zhou family felt somewhat awkward.
Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan exchanged glances at their elder brother, silently questioning him: Elder Brother, are you really on good terms with Shi Da Xiao? It doesn't seem like it.
"Mr. Zhou, if you have nothing pressing, please feel free to go about your business. I'm here today and it’s not suitable for me to meet outsiders," Shi Hao stated plainly.
"Uh, Shi Da Xiao, actually I have something important I want to tell you," Zhou Pingyong said hesitantly despite feeling awkward.
"Is it important for you or important for me? If it's only important to you, then there's no need to tell me. I'm busy today; I might as well tell you that my superior is coming soon," Shi Hao replied directly.
Zhou Pingyong forced a smile but felt a shock inside; Shi Da Xiao's superior must be Major General Jiang at the very least.
"Shi Da Xiao, this matter is very important to me and might also be significant for you," Zhou Pingyong said earnestly.
"Oh really? Then go ahead and tell me what it is," Shi Hao said with a hint of interest.
"This matter is quite lengthy to explain. Shi Da Xiao, could we step aside so I can explain it to you in detail?" Zhou Pingyong suggested seriously while glancing around.
