Chapter 457 It's too early to be profitable
"Grandma is here!"
The four simple and big words shocked everyone in the room, and even Lin Daxia, who pretended to be stupid, came to his senses. By the time he stood up and was ready to speak, everyone had walked out of the room to welcome the old lady.
Just kidding, this is the contemporary head of the Roosevelt family, the kind that can change the world pattern in one sentence. You're welcome. If it's an old lady, this woman is also the most powerful old lady in the world. At that level, it is estimated that only the queen of England Island can compare with her.
However, the old man's movements were two points faster than everyone else. Before Lin Tianchu had packed up and walked out of the room, there was a high laughter outside, "Dear parrot, do you miss me? Why don't you think I should go back to my hometown to see me? I'm afraid I can't bear Alex!"
The loud voice shows that the master is in good spirits. Obviously, this is in response to a woman's greeting just now. Lin Tianchu guessed that it must be the enthusiastic Lilith. An old man said, "Grandma, I miss you so much". Unfortunately, the old lady is not old, and one sentence exposes her granddaughter's thoughts. Although it is a blame, the meaning of favor is very obvious.
On the contrary, the nickname "Little Parrot" made Lin Tianchu laugh and wanted to laugh. Lilith just used the "shy rose" as a metaphor for Tess, saying that she is noble, that she is beautiful, that she has thorns, and that she is obviously weak in her heart, but she likes to open her teeth and claws to hide her weakness. This metaphor is very refreshing, which is appropriate. But soon Lilith found retribution and let her grandmother burst out her nickname in public.
The parrot, a beautiful and noble bird, is quite in line with Lilith's image. But this is not the most important thing. There is a saying that parrots learn from the tongue! Most importantly, Lilith is as noisy as this parrot! It seems that the old man also knows the nature of this granddaughter, which is extremely gossip. Lin Tianchu has a deep understanding of this. At least in the two hours of Jiangnan, Lilith's mouth has not stopped. Good boy, this is Lin Tianchu's first meeting with her. In less than a morning, Lin Daxia can't wait to tell her all the secrets he knows, which shows the power of this woman.
As he was thinking about it, the footsteps of "stepping" went up the stairs. Lin Tianchu looked up and saw Lilith with a smile on her face, snuggling up to an energetic old lady. The old lady has silver hair and crane white, dressed in a simple pearl shirt, without pearly, but her rosy face has a kind of majesty unique to the superior. The old man stood at the door and observed Lin Tianchu with interest. His small eyes were full of smiles. Obviously, he was satisfied with the oriental man.
The old lady's hot eyes are as if her mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law. It seems that she, like Lilith, knows about Lin Tianchu and Tess. No wonder the most beloved little granddaughter was driven to the desert city of Las Vegas by the Presbyterian. The old lady lacks a piece of meat in her heart. How can she let it go? He must have sent people to take care of it secretly, so Lin Tianchu, who suddenly appeared beside Tess, would naturally be known by the old lady. The kindness and resentment of the latter two did not need to be repeated by Lin Tianchu. He also knew that the old lady knew better than himself.
"Hello, old man, I'm Lin!" Lin Tianchu saluted with his fists on his face full of respect.
With a respectful face, it's just that the younger generation is polite to the old man and salutes with fists. It is the unique boxing salute of Chinese martial arts, which is neither humble nor arrogant nor rude. This is Lin Tianchu's first impression on the old man.
"Lin Tianchu, I know your name, Gambler vs. Las Vegas Part II, Yunobu Okamoto, the sixth of Tianmen, and Wu Xing, I know everything!" Without waiting for Lin Tianchu's greeting, the old lady sat down on the main seat in the hall and looked at Lin Tianchu with a smile and said.
The old lady's little eyes are very deep, as if she can see through people's minds. With just a few names, she has already told Lin Tianchu that she is fully aware of his plan. This is the power of the Roosevelt family to Lin Tianchu, and the next performance depends entirely on Lin Tianchu's attitude.
Lin Tianchu smiled faintly. The old lady's temptation was too shallow to focus at all. It seemed that she was too worried about Tess! Admittedly, it is understandable for the superiors to cooperate with the forces at the lower levels to see if he has the strength, but the old man, you come here in such a hurry, and even I, Lin Tianchu, don't mind not going out to greet him, or even not entertaining a mouthful of hot tea. Isn't it contradictory to this temptation?
Lin Tianchu was fully aware of the old lady's contradictory thoughts, but he did not speak out. Seeing that everyone was angry, he did not dare to say anything. Lin Tianchu just smiled faintly and personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old lady. "Old man, the West Lake Longjing in China, you can try it... Alex and I'm a friend. Tess had an accident on the way to the party with me. It's my duty to come here to help!"
Leave three points in speech, which is the communication habit between superiors, so as not to be caught by people with intentions, and Lin Tianchu is no exception. In just two sentences, he told the old lady a lot of information: "I'm friends with Alex", which means that "I and Tess" have nothing to do with it. I don't think too much about your granddaughter. If it weren't for the fact that "Tess" disappeared on the way to Green Coconut, Lin Tianchu would not have been too lazy to care about it.
The old man was worried that Lin Tianchu was not worthy of his granddaughter, so he tried. Lin Tianchu was more direct. In a few words, he refused the old lady's mind and told her bluntly that he had no extravagant expectations for the Roosevelt family. Lin Tianchu doesn't like to be threatened the most, and it's the same this time.
"Oh, isn't it? Lin, can you tell me that tomorrow is Little Tess's birthday? Why would she rather have a party with you, a man you have only met for a few times, than go home to compensate me, the immortal? Isn't the Green Coconut Hotel a hundred times more luxurious than the Roosevelt family?"
In the last few words, the old lady spit out almost word by word, and the majesty of the superior was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. However, it's a pity that Lin Tianchu is a figure who does not change color in the face of millions of troops. How can he be scared by an old man's words?
Lin Tianchu smiled and felt a little disdainful. The door is right, and the more he is in power for a long time, the more obvious this kind of thought is. Therefore, the old man would rather marry Tess to a young master of a second-rate family than want her to fall in love with the outsider who is duckweed in the water, so she thinks that celebrating her birthday in a "shabby" small hotel like Green Coconut must be more miserable than living at home. Because of this, she even hates Lin Tianchu.
"Old man, there is an old saying in China that the son is not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish? ... There is not much time. We'd better cooperate earlier and save Tess as soon as possible. What do you think?" Lin Tianchu sighed faintly and said. He told the fox that he didn't eat meat, but he definitely didn't believe it. Lin Tianchu suddenly felt a little tired. With the hammer, the old lady thought of the nail. She certainly didn't know that Lin Tianchu could still use the hammer as a barbell. The fact is such gossip.
"Good! I hope so too!" The old lady is also a popular person, and she nodded and agreed, "But before that, I will invest one million dollars in your crew as a thank you for your help this time."
How much is a million dollars? For people like Lin Tianchu and the old lady, it's really not much, not even the level of pocket money. However, if it is a million dollars invested by the Roosevelt family, the meaning is completely different. Now Lin Tianchu can even say that no matter how Fu Jie and Mu Xuetong's performance is, "The Gambler II" can't run away from the Oscars, and the subsequent global box office has increased ten times...
It can be said that the old lady's words are equivalent to giving Lin Tianchu a billion dollars for nothing, with the friendship between the brother group and the Roosevelt family. However, Lin Tianchu was not happy at all. He gave gifts without doing anything. The old lady obviously didn't believe Lin Tianchu! It's not early without profit. In the eyes of capitalists, everyone is in the head. Even if she has been in power for decades, the old lady is no exception.
She didn't say clearly that everything has been given to you. You can cheer me up! There are rewards for doing a good job. If you don't do it well, you know! Do you understand? One sentence can make the crew develop, and one sentence can naturally make Lin Tianchu die.
With a sigh, Lin Tianchu smiled bitterly. The old lady's mind would not change simply. He finally knew that Tess would rather stay with her group of people than return to her family: a life of flesh and blood, talking and laughing without intrigue. Even if it is simple, it is bigger than that. The door of the courtyard is happy.
