Located in the revolving restaurant in the city center, Horacio pushed open the private room and saw that besides Sharon, Burchard and Zenon were there.
"Mr. Yoxall!"
When the two saw Horacio, they quickly stood up to say hello.
Sharon did not stand up but gave Horacio a particularly friendly smile. "Mr. Yoxall, please sit down. I don't know if this place suits Mr. Yoxall's wishes."
Burchard next to him quickly explained, "Mr. Yoxall, this restaurant is invested and controlled by Ms. Carson. In addition to being the jewelry queen in Junclein City, Ms. Carson is also the number one in the food and beverage industry. Most of the top-ranked restaurants in Juncleini are owned by Ms. Carson. She was a shareholder in some other restaurants, too."
Horacio nodded and said, "It's not bad, but I'm not particular about this aspect, as long as I can have a full stomach."
Horacio's long overseas battlefield career indeed made him not have high requirements for these things.
At the beginning of the dinner, Sharon was a very good person. Her words and demeanor were just right, showing that she was well-educated and also had some appropriate sense of humor, which made the whole dinner lively.
During this period, Burchard and Zenon frequently raised their glasses to Horacio, but Horacio did not refuse and drank the wine with a smile.
But Sharon was the only one who rarely raised glasses, and did not toast Horacio from the beginning to the end.
"Ms. Carson, I toast you with this glass. I like the divine feather necklace you gave me at the wedding last time."
Horacio took the initiative to pick up the glass and smiled at Sharon.
Sharon smiled slightly, "As long as you are satisfied, it is my greatest honor. However, I am a little allergic to alcohol, so I can only take a small sip to show my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
After saying that, she picked up the glass and touched the edge of the cup lightly with her lips. She put the glass down without even touching the wine on her lips.
This move shocked Burchard and Zenon next to them, wondering what happened to Sharon today. Didn't she know Mr. Yoxall's identity?
Fortunately, Horacio didn't care. He drank the wine in one gulp with a smile, but the corner of his lips curled up with a touch of amusement that he couldn't even notice.
"Mr. Yoxall, my friend is arriving soon. I'll go down and pick him up."
At this time, Sharon suddenly looked at her phone and said.
Horacio smiled and said casually, "When you asked me to come over before, you didn't seem to say there was a stranger."
Sharon stood up and said with a smile, "It's okay, he's not an outsider, he's a big brother of mine. I'll go downstairs to pick him up first."
After saying that, she walked out of the private room without looking back.
This move scared Burchard and Zenon on the side.
They wondered what had happened to her.
The meaning of Mr. Yoxall's words just now was already obvious. That was, he was unwilling to eat with strangers.
But Sharon didn't know if she didn't realize it or if she did it on purpose.
She shouldn't make such a stupid mistake based on her intelligence.
"Mr. Yoxall, Sharon sometimes stubbornly does things. Please don't take it to heart."
Burchard quickly picked up a glass of wine and smoothed things over for Sharon.
"Yes, yes, Sharon must have thought that we were too lonely, so she wanted to invite more friends to come over to make things lively. This girl is sometimes a bit confused. Mr. Yoxall, please don't worry about it."
Zenon also quickly raised his glass.
It seemed that Sharon was usually very popular, and if she made a mistake, someone would quickly find a way out for her.
Horacio did not clink glasses with the two of them this time. He just gently shook the red wine in his hand and played with the taste. "If she is stubborn, I'm afraid there will be no careful people in this world."
At this time, Sharon had already walked back, followed by a burly, dark-skinned, middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt. He had a strong aura.
"Let me introduce him. This is my friend, Wilson Coleman."
Sharon introduced him with a smile.
The middle-aged man also smiled politely at everyone and nodded in greeting.
"Wilson?"
Zenon was suddenly stunned when he heard the name, and then said in surprise, "There is a real estate king in Durban City also named Wilson. Who are you..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't want to be a real estate king. It's just a title given by friends in the industry. I'm just doing a small business."
Boom!
Hearing this, Zenon suddenly felt like his head was exploding, and the corners of his mouth were twitching with excitement.
"Mr. Yoxall, let me formally introduce you. Mr. Coleman is the real estate king of Durban City!"
"In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the real estate king of the entire provincial capital rather than the real estate king of the Durban City!"
"His comprehensive strength, looking at the whole province, is definitely one of the three largest real estate giants!"
"This time we are bidding for the reconstruction of Zack family Industrial Park in Junclein City, and it is Mr. Coleman who is in charge!"
No wonder Zenon was so excited. As a member of the real estate industry, he knew very well what his name meant in the industry.
As long as he stamped his feet, most of the real estate circles in the province would tremble!
Compared with Wilson, Zenon's small business could only be said to be insignificant!
Sharon looked at Horacio and smiled and said, "Mr. Yoxall, I heard that Madam has recently established a construction company. If you need anything in the future, just contact Wilson at any time."
Wilson also looked at Horacio and smiled and said, "I have admired Mr. Yoxall's name for a long time. Compared with Mr. Yoxall, what I have done is really not worth mentioning."
"However, I have been in this circle for a few more years, and I still have some negligible resources. Recently, I have been working on the Junclein Zack family Industrial Park project. If your wife's company wants to bid, just ask, and I will try my best to help."
Horacio looked at Wilson and nodded with a smile. "Then I'll thank you first."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Sharon and smiled lightly. "I also want to thank Ms. Carson for letting me know such a big shot."
Sharon did not refuse at all, and said with a smile, "We are all friends, and resources should be shared."
The dinner continued, and Sharon was still chatting and laughing, making the atmosphere very lively.
However, although Wilson and Horacio also laughed and chatted with each other, neither of them took the initiative to raise their glasses and toast alone.
The content of Sharon's chat seemed casual, but the focus seemed to be on Wilson.
Burchard and Zenon frowned next to them, thinking that Sharon must have taken the wrong medicine today.
No matter how awesome Wilson was, could he still be more awesome than the president of Golden Banner Bank?
To put it bluntly, even if a hundred Wilsons were tied together, they would not have as much money as the president. Why couldn't Sharon grasp the key point today?
And Sharon had always been very smart, how could she not even understand this?
Burchard and Zenon were worried that Sharon would suffer a loss, so they raised their glasses several times to remind them intentionally or unintentionally, but Sharon just didn't seem to understand and still went her own way.
After a while, Sharon suddenly said to Wilson, "Wilson, why don't you tell everyone about your past wars?"
Burchard and Zenon were stunned. "Mr. Coleman used to be from the War Department?"
Sharon took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Wilson was a four-star military officer in the Ministry of War before he started working in real estate. He once fought bloody battles in the Northern Territory, and he can be regarded as crawling out of the dead."
"The current deputy commander-in-chief of the Junclein First Regiment is a die-hard brother who lived and died with Wilson."
Wilson raised his chin slightly. "These are all things of the past, so don't mention them."
As soon as these words came out, Burchard and Zenon were stunned.
Only then did they understand why Sharon had been helping Wilson today.
Just because he was once a four-star military officer in the war department, and just because the deputy commander-in-chief of the Junclein First Battle Group was his die-hard brother...
As for Mr. Yoxall, although he was very impressive, he was still a businessman at heart, and he was nothing in front of the war department!
For a moment, the two of them quickly filled themselves up with a glass of wine and stood up respectfully to toast.
"Mr. Coleman, I didn't expect you to have such an experience. If there is a chance next time, I wonder if Mr. Coleman can call out your brother, the deputy commander, and introduce him to us."
Wilson smiled and said, "This is nothing, it's just that my brother is busy with a big thing recently."
"The war department is about to confer a general-in-chief, and the canonization ceremony will be held in Junclein, so my brother may not be able to get away at the moment."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zenon and Burchard but also Sharon next to them looked horrified.
