Chapter 344: One after the other, they came to visit

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Zhou Ming got up. He and Margaret were already downstairs at this time. Margaret had already got up and was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Zhou Ming and her husband downstairs, she smiled, greeted them, and asked them with concern whether they had slept well. 

'We're not as delicate as you think, we slept very well last night,' Zhou Ming replied to her, and it wasn't just a polite remark. Due to their living habits, even if they don't live in a house often, they will clean it frequently, so there is no uncleanliness or odours. In addition, they all have high-end beds, so as long as they don't recognise the bed, they basically won't be bothered by it while sleeping.

Margaret let out a sigh of relief, and then said, 'That's good. If I invite you over and you don't sleep well, I'll be in trouble.'

Then she said, 'I'm making breakfast now, so if you don't mind, you can join me.'

Margaret's breakfast consisted of toast and milk, pasta with meat sauce and fried eggs. It was quite a generous meal, but Zhou Ming only learned later that Margaret Margaret had gone out early to buy it especially for them. The mother and daughter had originally only had two meals a day of mashed potatoes or pancakes, and they had not eaten meat for six months.

After breakfast, Zhou Ming and Zhou Ming went out. Zhou Ming's first target of the day was the Tefo Motors building, because according to previous information, Tefo, as the number one car family in the United States, he has always wanted to get away from the control of the Wood family. For this reason, he has openly confronted the Wood family before. That is why Zhou Ming thinks they are worth fighting for.

However, Zhou Ming was turned away at the entrance to the Tefo Motors building because he did not have an appointment. In desperation, Zhou Ming had to give up for the time being, and then went to GM, with the same result.

Zhou Ming then understood that these companies were not easy to get into, so he could only go back first and wait to contact the Down family before making any plans.

Zhou Ming returned to Margaret's villa, after all, he didn't know if those people were still guarding the villa in Orlando, and Zhou Ming had no intention of clashing with the American police.

But as soon as their car reached the villa's entrance, they immediately slammed on the brakes and frowned, 'No, there's something wrong with this villa!'

As if to prove it, as soon as the words fell, the engine of a car roared nearby, and suddenly several cars surrounded them, surrounded them. At the same time, a strong white man walked out of the villa and said, 'Hello, Mr. Zhou Ming from California, our boss would like to invite you in, he has something he would like to discuss with you.'

Zhou Ming looked at him and told him with a wry smile, 'I'm currently unarmed and I don't know what the other party has set up in the villa, so I'm not 100% sure I can bring you out safely.'

Zhou Ming nodded to show that he understood. He thought about it for a while, but ultimately decided to get out of the car and walk up to the white man and say to him, 'Now that I'm out, can you take me in to see your boss?'

The white man gave Zhou Ming a thumbs-up: 'You're just as the boss described you, and you're certainly full of spirit!'

He then led Zhou Ming into the villa. In the living room on the first floor, Zhou Ming finally met their boss and recognised him immediately: 'Richard, the chairman of Tefal Motors. I'm surprised that it was you who sought me out.'

Richard was not surprised that Zhou Ming recognised him. After all, as the chairman of the Tefal company, he often appeared in newspapers, magazines and on TV, so it was not surprising that he was recognised. Richard looked up and down at Zhou Ming a few times before meaningfully asking him, 'Mr. Zhou Ming actually didn't run away in fear, so it seems that you really have a lot of guts.'

Zhou Ming laughed disdainfully, 'If Mr. Richard really wanted to kill me or do something bad to me, then he would have done it outside, why did he have to wait until I came in?'

Richard clapped his hands in delight, but Zhou Ming sat directly in front of him and asked, 'Okay, I'm here, so if you have any questions, just ask. And what about Margaret and her daughter? You didn't do anything to them, did you?'

'Margaret and her daughter? You mean the two women living in this house? I didn't expect you to care about the safety of these two people who have nothing to do with you,' Richard asked.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, 'This may show that I still have a bit of humanity, right? Although I don't know what you want to do with me, I do know that they are definitely not involved in my affairs. If they suffer any harm because of me, it will trouble my conscience.'

Richard nodded and said, 'I see,' before beckoning to his servant to bring Margaret and her daughter down from the upstairs floor. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that they were fine.

Seeing Zhou Ming, Margaret hurriedly said to him, 'Sir, I'm sorry, we've caused you trouble, but you don't need to worry about us, we've been to both heaven and hell, we're not afraid of anything. If we've caused you any trouble...'

Zhou Ming interrupted her and said to her, 'Mrs Margaret, if anyone is to blame, it is I who have wronged you and your daughter. It's fine, it's nothing.'

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, Richard waved his hand and told his men to take Margaret and her daughter away. He then said to Zhou Ming, 'I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Ming, but due to our limited time, we won't be able to let you two chat much longer. But don't worry, I don't have the habit of insulting inferior people.'

Zhou Ming spread his hands and said, 'Okay, Mr. Richard, please tell us why you are here.'

'No problem. I know that the previous heir to the Daewood family went to San Francisco and had a lot of unpleasant disputes with the Down family, right? Now Mr. Zhou Ming has come to Etly to seek revenge?' Richard asked.

Zhou Ming nodded in reply, 'Yes, I have come to take revenge on the Daewood family. So, Mr. Richard, what about you? Are you here to join forces with me against the Daewood family, or are you here to help the Daewood family get rid of me, just like those policemen last night?'

Richard thought for a moment and said, 'I think if I tell you something, it will be more convincing than anything else.'

'You know that Tefal Motor Company has been called Tefal since its establishment, and the successor of our Tefal family has always inherited the position of company chairman. But in fact, such a company with the Tefal family brand, which should originally belong entirely to our family, has allowed the Daewood family to hold 35% of the shares, which is more than us Tefal. our Tefal family brand, a family business that should have belonged entirely to us, has instead been owned by the Wood family for 35% of its shares, more than the Tefal family itself.' Richard said with clenched teeth.

Zhou Ming smiled: 'I think I understand. It seems that the Tefal family is on the opposite side of the Wood family. So Mr. Richard is here to join forces with me? But your way of paying a visit is not polite.'

'I have already apologised, and I understand that this approach is not desirable, but I had no choice,' said Richard. 'From what you just said, I think you, Mr. Zhou Ming, already know that your arrival has been noticed by the Wood family. So the Daewood family has sent someone to follow me in order to avoid contact between us. I had no choice but to do this.'

'I see. But Mr. Richard, I think we can take a more civilized approach next time, because I know how to get to the Tefo Motors headquarters building,' said Zhou Ming.

Richard's eyes lit up at this: 'You're right, Mr. Zhou Ming, that's a good idea. However, the head office of the Tefo Motors Company is too conspicuous a target. To avoid being attacked by the Daewood family in advance, I have another good choice here.'

Richard said, handing Ming Chow a business card: 'This is a restaurant that I control indirectly and that the Greatwood family doesn't know about.'

Ming Chow took the card: "I see. Then I'll take it.'

Richard smiled and asked: "So are we already allies?'

Zhou Ming said, 'Honourable Mr Richard, if I were you, I definitely would not ask such a question.'

Richard was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing. He then bid Ming goodbye and, before leaving, gave him a final piece of advice: 'The restaurant will be open to you from noon today. You can contact me there at any time.'

After saying this, Richard and his men left the villa. In a moment, Margaret and Julia carefully came down the stairs carefully down the stairs. Seeing the empty living room, they felt as if the whole abduction had been a hallucination, if only their arms had not been sore and the villa door had not been wide open.

Margaret froze for a moment and then asked Zhou Ming, 'Have those people gone? Who are they? Should we...call the police?'

Zhou Ming shook his head, then turned around and invited the mother and daughter to sit down. He let them close the door while explaining, 'I'm really sorry about this. I didn't expect to get you involved. They are from the Tefal family, the family that founded and has always run Tefal Motor Company. The man just now was Richard, the current heir to the Tefal family.'

Following Zhou Ming's words, Margaret and her daughter immediately let out a scream. Zhou Ming continued, 'And I came from California because I had a falling out with the Bigwood family. This time I came to take revenge on the Bigwood family, so the Tefford family wanted to join forces with me against the Bigwood family.'

'So did you promise them, brother? If you didn't promise them, they probably wouldn't have left,' the little girl Julia asked.

Zhou Ming thought about it and said, 'Did you promise? It's not like I promised, because they and I didn't know each other before, and this kind of thing is also very important. It's impossible to just rely on the fact that we said all this to each other in here and then just agree to cooperate. That would be too rash, and we wouldn't believe it either. After all, people's hearts are far apart, and it's too easy to believe that others are not holding back anything. You can easily be eaten up and left with nothing.'

'That's It's so complicated, I don't know what you're really planning after all this back and forth,' said Julia, scratching her head.

'Actually, it's not complicated. To put it simply, if two people want to fall in love and get married, they have to get to know each other first. You can't just go to the priest on the first meeting and say, "I do". So we are now in this stage of getting to know each other.'

Having finished explaining to Julia, Zhou Ming then said to Margaret, 'Since the Tefo family was able to find me, the Daewood family must also know that I am here. I don't know why they are still done anything, but if I continue to live here, I will only cause you more trouble and even risk my life, so I am moving out now.'

Hearing Zhou Ming words, Margaret's first reaction was to try to persuade him to stay, but then she felt that this would be inappropriate.

At that moment, the villa's doorbell suddenly rang, startling everyone. Why were visitors coming one after the other? Could it be that the Teffs had returned? Or was this the Bigwood family? Or maybe someone else?

With these questions in mind, Margaret went to the intercom at the entrance and soon heard a voice on the other end: 'Is Mr Zhou Ming from California here? Hello, this is Martin, the mayor of Etly.'
