I couldn't even hold the wine bottle steady, my hands were shaking so badly, it was really embarrassing.
But Lin Xiao's expression was still very calm, and there was no look of disgust as Tang Ling imagined.
He took the initiative to take the wine bottle from Tang Ling's hand, poured himself a glass, and then poured another glass for Tang Ling.
"Do I scare you that much?"
Lin Xiao then asked.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Tang Ling shook her head quickly, then blushed and said, "I'm just too nervous."
"It's just a meal, what's there to be nervous about?"
Lin Xiao said casually.
Maisie smiled and touched Tang Ling's head to encourage her.
But Yuan Zheng's expression didn't change much.
He was always calm, but he didn't laugh in such a situation.
After a while, Tang Ling finally became less nervous and dared to talk to Lin Xiao.
During the chat, Lin Xiao also learned more about Tang Guorong, an arms dealer.
It turns out that Tang Guorong not only did business with the Dorodo City Defense Army, but also sold weapons on the Dorodo black market.
The proportion of weapons in Dorodo as a whole, excluding the Dorodo city defense army, Tang Guorong occupies about 40%.
The remaining 60% is controlled by another weapons dealer.
This weapons dealer is called Wu Houfei.
Wu Houfei, like Tang Guorong, is a native of Longguo. He came here to take root and survive, and ran a weapons business. He started from scratch and gradually became bigger and stronger. He can be said to be Tang Guorong's most powerful competitor.
Tang Guorong and Wu Houfei often competed in weapons and were defeated many times. If it weren't for the fact that Tang Guorong supplied weapons to the city defense army and thus obtained a large part of the profits outside the market, otherwise he would never be able to compete with Wu Houfei.
Wu Houfei also had ideas about the city defense army and wanted to negotiate a weapons business with the city defense army.
However, Wu Houfei approached the former commander-in-chief several times before, but failed to reach an agreement. Until now, Tang Guorong is still the only weapons dealer that the Dorodo City Defense Force cooperates with.
"So, this Wu Houfei is an enemy of your Tang family?"
Lin Xiao asked.
Tang Ling nodded, but Maisie shook her head.
"What's happening here?"
Yuan Zheng asked instead of Lin Xiao.
Mai Qian glanced at Tang Ling, and then explained: "That's right, our two families are indeed in a competitive relationship, and have been competing for many years, but in the past two years, Wu Houfei has wanted to join forces with our family."
"Join forces?"
Lin Xiao showed a very interested expression.
Maisie nodded and continued: "Yes, Wu Houfei seems to want to join forces with my husband to jointly control the weapons trading market in Dorado. But my husband did not agree. Of course, in order to avoid becoming an enemy, he did not refuse completely."
Hearing Mai Qi's words, Lin Xiao nodded and said oh.
Mai Qian continued: "This is not over yet. Wu Houfei has a precious son named Wu Lianyun. He wants to marry our Tang family and join forces in this way."
