"You are … Ah! Right, I thought you looked familiar. It's really you. You are the owner of Shuguang Investment! The richest man in the world! " Stephen exclaimed, "No wonder, no wonder. It is said that the person who has this ring can stand at the top of the world! So, you've comprehended the mystery of this ring?! "
"What are you talking about?" I looked at the old man in front of me strangely. If I didn't see a lot of scholar titles on his business card, I would have thought that he ran out of a mental hospital! What ring, the top of the world? It's simply inexplicable!
"Mr. Liu, let's not beat around the bush. Don't worry, what you have now is your legal gain. I won't steal it!" Stephen said.
"Mr. Stephen, I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that you want to steal my company? Of course, my company is legally owned. Aren't you talking nonsense? "I said impatiently.
"Mr. Liu, do you still want to hide it? Don't you think that you are making things worse by trying to hide it? Don't forget, I used to be the owner of this ring. You can't hide it from me! "Stephen said.
Hide it from me? When Stephen said "hide it from me," my heart shivered. Was he talking about my rebirth? Impossible, the only one who knows about this is Xu Qingwei, Zhao Yanyan might also know, I have never told anyone else! However, when I heard him mention the ring, I knew that I was thinking too much!
"Mr. Stephen, first of all, I think you should make it clear. It's not that I am hiding anything from you, but I really don't understand what you are talking about. You are talking about this ring. Is there anything special about this ring?" I waved my hand and said seriously.
Stephen looked at me and felt that I wasn't lying. However, he strangely shook his head and then explained, "This ring is a divine artifact! A divine artifact given to Empress Dowager Cixi by a deity! "
"Divine artifact?" I opened my mouth wide, "Mr. Stephen, are you joking with me? Where did this divine artifact come from? As far as I know, this ring is the masterpiece of a British sculptor in the eighteenth century! "
"Haha, a masterpiece of the eighteenth century? The masterpiece was good, but it wasn't made by an English sculptor. It was just a story I made up! The ring is in my hands, and I was afraid that someone would think of it, so I deliberately made up such a story! The English words' LOVE FOREVER 'on the back of the ring were also sprayed on by me to confuse others! " Steven laughed and said, "According to a historical book found in the Old Summer Palace, this ring was a gift from a deity to Empress Dowager Cixi!"
"History books? How come I've never heard of it? "I asked strangely.
"Of course you wouldn't have heard of it. That history book and this ring were both placed in the Old Summer Palace back then. My father was a major in the Eight-Nation Alliance back then. He plundered a lot of treasures from the Old Summer Palace, including these two!" Stephen said, "Of course, this is a matter of history. I know you don't like it when I say this. Haha, but now your Huaxia's technology is leading the world. This unbearable history is a thing of the past!"
I nodded. Who could be blamed for the incompetence of the feudal court? Did you want me to be reborn in the Qing Dynasty and change history again?
"According to the history book, this deity gave this ring to Empress Dowager Cixi and told her that it was a key to the top of the world!" Seeing that I didn't speak, Stephen continued, "But later, for some unknown reason, Empress Dowager Cixi died. She didn't get anything from the ring, and that deity never appeared again!"
"Do you think this is believable?" I looked at Stephen and found it funny. "Deity, do you think there's a deity? Even if there was a deity, what kind of key would he give to Empress Dowager Cixi? "
Stephen shook his head and said, "I don't think that person is a deity!"
"What?" I felt even more strange. "If you don't believe it, why are you so obsessed with this ring?"
"Because I think that he's not a deity, but an alien! In other words, a visitor from outer space! " Stephen said seriously, "Huaxia is an ancient country, and the imperial court is a place where the imperial power is concentrated. Perhaps they will come in contact with some mysterious things. For example, Qin Shi Huang. Whether it's from the history book or the speculation of later generations, he definitely saw aliens!"
"Yes, I also know this. I have also read the history books and academic research on this. But so what? He chased after immortality all his life, but in the end, he died! "I said with a shrug.
"This is also why I find it strange! In theory, if aliens can come to Earth, it means that their technology is many times more advanced than ours. The things they provided to the supreme ruler of that time were definitely treasures! But without exception, they all failed. I suspect that they used the wrong method! " Stephen said, "I have studied this ring for nearly thirty years, but I still haven't found any special function! In other words, I haven't found a specific way to use it! "
"Maybe it's just an ordinary thing. You and Empress Dowager Cixi are thinking about it too much. What do you mean by leading to the top of the world? I guess it's just a compliment, just like praising the Emperor!" I said with a smile.
"Maybe you are right, but I am more willing to believe that it has its own special function. Moreover, after seeing you, I am even more convinced of this point!" Stephen suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Liu, you still don't admit that you have found the secret of the ring?"
"I found the secret of the ring? Are you kidding me! " I shook my head inexplicably. "Before I met you, I didn't know that this ring had so many secrets!"
"That's impossible. Then why did you refuse to transfer the ring to me?" Stephen asked back.
"First of all, I can clearly tell you that I don't lack money! But the most important reason is that this ring is my engagement gift to my fiancée! Do you think that I will sell it? "I said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"But you can't deny the fact that Shuguang is the world's largest corporation!" Stephen said.
"Haha!" I finally understood what Stephen meant. He thought that I had found the secret of the ring, and that was why I could create such a large corporation and become the richest person in the world!
"I can't help but admire your imagination!" I impudently laughed and said, "This is the funniest thing I have ever heard, and also the most childish thing!"
"Hmph, don't change the topic!" Stephen coldly snorted.
