What's going on in Chapter 196?
Ma Junjie was taken aback upon hearing this.
You want to discuss something with me? What could it be?
A man like Liu Xiong is clearly not simple.
Ma Junjie wasn't being self-deprecating; he just felt that he and Liu Xiong were completely different types of people.
Now, I couldn't control myself and even hit Liu Xiong's son.
Now, what else would Liu Xiong want to discuss with me?
Ha ha,
Ma Junjie gave a wry smile, thinking to himself,
If something really happens, it certainly won't be a good thing.
Seeing that Ma Junjie remained silent, Jiang Hao urged him again.
"Ah Jie, look, Xiong Ge said he has something to tell you, so why don't you stay?"
"Hehe, how about this? It's rare for us all to get together today, so I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!"
Ma Junjie didn't express his opinion, but just looked at Liu Xiong, still trying to figure out his intentions.
At this moment, Liu Xiong responded,
"Jiang Hao, let's talk about dinner later."
"Let's go downstairs for some tea and chat."
With that, Liu Xiong took a step and walked towards the door.
Jiang Hao patted Ma Junjie on the shoulder and laughed.
"Hehe, Ah Jie, let's go, don't hesitate!"
At this moment, Carina Lau brushed past Ma Junjie, took a few steps forward, and then stopped.
He turned around and said,
"Ah Jie, don't feel guilty."
"In any fight, there are winners and losers. To be honest, thank you for teaching Liu Yang a lesson."
"Go downstairs first, I'll take you back later."
After saying that, Carina Lau turned and left.
Seeing Carina Lau close the door and leave,
Jiang Hao chuckled.
He patted Ma Junjie on the shoulder and said excitedly,
"Ah Jie, you're really awesome!"
"Do you know how much Jialing dotes on her younger brother Liu Yang? Today you beat Liu Yang up like that in front of her, and she actually let you off the hook and wasn't even angry."
"Tsk tsk, how strange, how really strange!"
"Ah Jie, you really have a lot of influence!"
Ma Junjie listened, outwardly unmoved, but inwardly he suddenly trembled.
He remembered how good Carina Lau had been to him.
For some reason, I suddenly feel a little regretful.
He regretted whether he had gone too far in reprimanding Liu Yang earlier.
I acted impulsively just now and didn't consider Carina Lau's feelings at all.
The situation is a bit awkward now...
"Let's go, Ah Jie, let's go downstairs!" Jiang Hao shouted.
Ma Junjie responded with an "Ah" sound, subconsciously.
Jiang Hao saw that Ma Junjie seemed somewhat absent-minded, and smiled faintly.
Then he muttered to himself,
"Ah Jie, what do you think Xiong Ge wants to talk to you about?"
"He sounded quite serious, but I have no idea what he meant!"
"Ah Jie, guess what Xiong Ge wants to talk to you about?"
Ma Junjie shook his head.
"Brother Hao, I don't know."
Jiang Hao laughed again, his eyes darting around.
"Ah Jie, whatever happens to Xiong Ge, let me tell you first, I definitely have good news here."
Ma Junjie wasn't concerned about any good news; he was still pondering Liu Jialing's reaction earlier.
As they talked, the two arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
Liu Xiong sat down at the tea table and began brewing tea.
Carina Lau sat quietly to one side, expressionless.
Jiang Hao, worried that Ma Junjie might sneak away, grabbed his arm.
"Ah Jie, come on, let's go have some tea."
Ma Junjie looked up and gazed at the tea table.
At this moment, Liu Xiong raised his head and called out softly,
"Ah Jie, come and sit down!"
Seeing this, Ma Junjie knew there was no way out, so he took a step and walked towards the tea table.
Upon reaching the tea table, Jiang Hao pulled out a chair and said,
"Ah Jie, have a seat!"
Ma Junjie replied casually, "Thank you, Brother Hao!"
As he spoke, he slowly sat down.
Liu Xiong had also finished brewing the tea and poured it into teacups one by one.
Carina Lau picked up a small teacup and handed one to each of Ma Junjie and Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao took it, smelled it, and then took a few deep breaths.
He said it in a slightly exaggerated tone,
"Brother Xiong, you're being too generous! This tea must be top-grade Da Hong Pao, right?"
Liu Xiong replied calmly.
"Yes, the mother tree, Da Hong Pao."
"What?" Jiang Hao exclaimed.
"The mother tree, Da Hong Pao?"
"This...this, Brother Xiong, you're not just giving us tea, you're giving us gold!"
"No, no, this stuff is much more valuable than gold. I remember an auction years ago where 20 grams of the mother tree's Da Hong Pao tea sold for 16.8 yuan!"
Ma Junjie just picked up his teacup, brought it to his lips, and took a sip.
Suddenly hearing Jiang Hao say this,
"Cough cough,"
Ma Junjie suddenly choked and said,
"What...what is this thing? It's way too expensive!"
Liu Xiong laughed when he saw this, and scolded Jiang Hao.
"Jiang Hao, look at you, talking nonsense, making Ah Jie afraid to drink."
"Tea is just tea. If you insist on putting a price tag on it, then it loses its meaning."
"In my eyes, it's just a slightly better tea!"
Jiang Hao grinned and said,
"Yes, yes, Xiong-ge is right!"
"Ah Jie, don't mind me. I was just talking nonsense. At Xiong Ge's place, you can eat and drink whatever you want, do whatever you want."
Ma Junjie was at a loss for what to do.
Some were even curious.
Was Jiang Hao just talking nonsense?
Otherwise, if someone spends tens of thousands of dollars to buy 20 grams of tea, wouldn't that person be a complete fool?
Ma Junjie couldn't believe it.
On the contrary, he was more inclined to believe that Jiang Hao was lying.
Ma Junjie picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
It does smell really good when you take a bite.
However, in his view, it was merely a fragrance.
The group chatted and drank tea for a while.
At this point, Jiang Hao slowly began to get to the main topic.
He asked Liu Xiong with a smile,
"Brother Xiong, didn't you say you had something to discuss with Ah Jie?"
"Why don't you go first?"
Liu Xiong put down his teacup, smiled faintly, glanced at Jiang Hao, and said...
"Jiang Hao, is there something you want to discuss with A-Jie?"
Jiang Hao nodded.
"Yes, Xiong-ge, but you should go first."
"My business is definitely not as important as yours."
Liu Xiong smiled and looked at Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie also put down his teacup and looked at Liu Xiong.
Before Liu Xiong could speak, Ma Junjie spoke first.
"Uncle Liu, just tell me what's wrong."
"Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, if I can do it, I will definitely agree."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong laughed.
He shook his head slightly and said,
"Ah Jie, you're still as straightforward as ever."
"But don't worry, I'm only talking about good news, not bad news!"
"Huh?" Ma Junjie was somewhat surprised.
Because subconsciously he felt that he had just hit Liu Yang,
As Liu Yang's father, Liu Xiong would definitely "show some appreciation" to him.
But Liu Xiong now says there's good news.
This is truly unexpected.
Or perhaps…
Ma Junjie suddenly had a new idea.
He wondered if Liu Xiong was just saying that on purpose.
Ma Junjie felt somewhat uneasy.
He stared intently at Liu Xiong.
Liu Xiong's fingertips traced the smooth rim of the teacup, his gaze fixed on Ma Junjie's face.
He paused, then began to speak...
