Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 558 Where is Old Zhao?
The principal didn't know why Ximen Lang was so interested in Lao Li and his two companions, even though they were complete strangers and from different eras.

It's not even fair to say they're interested; they're practically acquaintances, people they know intimately.

Otherwise, you simply can't explain why Ximen Lang was able to recognize the three brothers so quickly.

She had only mentioned the three brothers briefly, and hadn't even had a chance to introduce them to Ximen Lang or tell him their names, when Ximen Lang immediately recognized them.

If you're not familiar with them, then something really strange would happen!
Judging from the way these three brothers acted, their reactions clearly indicated that they didn't recognize Ximen Lang.

Not to mention getting to know each other, they only learned about the name Ximen Lang after signing a confidentiality agreement.

Isn't that strange?
But no matter how strange it was, the principal could only bear it.

Because he had no way of verifying this with Ximen Lang.

Forget about verifying it, you can't even mention it in the context of him.

Helpless, the principal had no choice but to put aside these doubts.

Like Lao Luo and Bai Ling, they pretended not to know.

Keep it to yourself and never mention it again.

However, although this matter cannot be mentioned, it can still be used to some extent.

Take, for example, the weapons and equipment that Ximen Lang is about to equip for the brigade.

I simply stood there and showed my face.

Driven solely by his reputation, he readily gave away the weapons and equipment of an entire brigade!
Although Old Li and his two brothers were far less renowned than him, they were still far superior.
But judging from the way Ximen Lang's eyes lit up when he talked about these three brothers, surely sending an extra regiment, no, an extra battalion's worth of weapons and equipment shouldn't be a problem, right?
It just so happens that the three of them, especially the cunning Old Li, are also shameless and opportunistic, always taking advantage of others.

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

Given Ximen Lang's high regard for the three of them, they might actually be able to work their way up to a whole regiment's worth of weapons and equipment!

If that could really be the case, that would be wonderful.

This will save you a lot of money!
If that were really the case, its value would be immense!

So, while there's still some time...

Even the principal didn't approach Ximen Lang's side; he came to the three brothers immediately and earnestly explained to them the various details they needed to pay special attention to when interacting with Ximen Lang.

Simply put...
"I understand, don't ask. If you see it, don't say anything. Learn from me, learn from Bai Ling, learn from Lao Luo. Forget everything that seems unreasonable to you, do your best to please him, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to build a good relationship with A Lang!"

Fearing that Lao Li and his two brothers might not realize the seriousness of the problem, the principal earnestly emphasized it again.

"Don't think that just because you've joined the heavy armored combined arms brigade you're all set and can rest on your laurels. Let me tell you straight, the reason you were able to become the brigade commanders is entirely because Ah Lang has faith in you, and that's why you have this opportunity!"

"Let me tell you straight, there are countless eyes watching your positions! If you don't handle things right, you could be squeezed out by someone more capable. Don't blame me for not warning you then!"

The three brothers, Lao Li and his brother, were all extremely shrewd, even though they devoted most of their energy to how to fight.

Their emotional intelligence and IQ are unmatched by ordinary people.

Especially in terms of experience, it has become richer with the experiences of these years.

They're the kind of people who become monkey spirits just by getting hair on them!

In addition, there are the three brothers, right? They are excellent, outstanding in all aspects, but not that outstanding.

At least Cheng the Blind, whom the three brothers were quite resentful of, was no worse than them.

So, the sound of their chests being thumped was resounding. Among them, the most shrewd and cunning, Old Ding, directly assured the principal.

Even though the principal didn't mention it at all, he kept emphasizing the need to do everything possible to get as many weapons and equipment as possible from Ximen Lang. He had already figured out the underlying meaning of this matter quite well.

Note that it's not that he figured out the most or least part of the matter.

Instead, they figured out how to get these weapons and equipment from Ximen Lang and got pretty much right about it!
Although both are about 80-90% similar, there is a big difference between these two!
Therefore, it was clear that Lao Ding truly understood.

Aside from Lao Kong, that law-abiding blockhead, he's still agonizing over whether it's right or wrong to deceive a junior like this, whether it's too unethical.

Both Lao Ding and Lao Li had already started planning how to get closer to Ximen Lang and then get more benefits.

He slapped Lao Kong on the shoulder while Lao Kong was still lost in thought, making Lao Kong freeze in surprise.

The principal continued.

"What are you worrying about? Let me tell you straight, the things you're fretting about are nothing to him! Do you know how rich this kid is? It'll scare you to death! He has more pocket money than the entire foreign exchange reserves of Beijing!"

"He's truly richer than a country! Plus, with connections to two worlds, he reaps huge profits from every transaction we make with them. Let me put it this way, money is just a string of numbers to him! He has so much money that he could never spend it all, not even in his next life!"

"Wealthy beyond measure?! Enough to last a lifetime?! My God, how rich must they be!"

Old Kong was so shocked that he immediately cried out to God.

Upon learning that Ximen Lang was actually so rich, there was no longer any hesitation.

Isn't it just about providing some emotional value?

Let's max it out!
When he's in a good mood, will this little bit of stuff even be considered a thing anymore?

"Perfect! He has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it, right? Let's become his farmhands and earn some real money!"

He changed his mind almost instantly.

Then, without saying a word, the three brothers followed the principal and headed towards Ximen Lang's place.

Then, as soon as they stepped outside, the three brothers were deeply shocked by the bustling scene before them.

Seeing that this kid was truly arrogant, as if he really wanted everyone present to eat abalone and lobster as their main meal.

This one meal alone will cost at least a lot of money.

There were so many that even the three of them, including Lao Li, couldn't count them all.

At this point, the last bit of hesitation was completely forgotten by the three brothers.

He happily followed behind the principal, going to provide emotional support to Simon Lang and become their long-term laborer.

Sure enough, as soon as the three brothers were led inside, Ximen Lang immediately stood up.

"See, I told you so! I knew it was them, and it really was!"

As he spoke, he warmly welcomed the group into the house.

Then, seeing that only the three of them had arrived, Ximen Lang asked in bewilderment.

"Hey, Lao Li, where's Lao Zhao? Lao Zhao didn't come this time?"
