how much to tip varies without a standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it’s a high-end restaurant, giving a doorman one hundred dollars is already quite generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for those who are rich and prestigious, a typical tip is around ten to twenty dollars, and it’s common to see the stingy give only a dollar or two, or not tip at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blond young man gave the doorman one hundred dollars, which was very generous indeed, but he said that giving this one hundred was nothing extraordinary to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a minor incident, it revealed a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least now Gao Yang knew for certain that this young man was wealthy, and beyond being wealthy, he must also be very influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been allowed into the restaurant without the proper attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Famous high-end restaurants all have certain rules, and the more famous the restaurant, the stricter the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The likelihood of an exception being made is very small, and the Sun King Restaurant is undoubtedly a very famous restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ease at which they bent the rules for Gao Yang and his companions clearly indicated the young man’s significant clout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very wealthy and very influential, that essentially suggested the young man was a second-generation rich kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a certainty, but there was at least a seventy percent chance of it being the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond being wealthy and influential, Gao Yang concluded something else important: this young man had too much time on his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang didn’t want to be regarded as an oddity and treated differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed inappropriately for the occasion, he really didn’t want to eat at this restaurant, but after following the young man around the lobby and into a private room—which was rare in Western restaurants—Gao Yang felt more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seating Gao Yang and his companions, Justin pointed at the young man and said with a smile, “Let me introduce…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>well, you should introduce yourselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might all prefer to keep your identity a secret, so I won’t introduce you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang quickly responded, “Nice to meet you, my name is Ram, and this is Rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lady here, um, just call her Beauty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man clapped his hands and laughed, “Very good, you’re indeed people who mean serious business, never revealing your own identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, you can call me Friend of Nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounds more professional.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to prolong the conversation, Gao Yang cut straight to the chase, “Justin, we’ve met twice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did you have in mind when you wanted to see me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin shrugged, “I’m just an intermediary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My role was simply to facilitate this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the business at hand, um, let Friend of Nature explain it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, “Friend of Nature, this name sounds pretty strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like someone quirky’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But let’s think about that later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ram, the reason I wanted to meet you is because I greatly admire your deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it simply, I idolize you, that’s all there is to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang was taken aback, “Idolize me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you sure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think there’s anything about me worth idolizing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature waved his hand excitedly, “When I saw the video of you sinking those whaling ships in the Antarctic Sea, I was shocked…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang immediately interrupted Friend of Nature, speaking sternly, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We sank whaling ships?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not a funny joke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature looked at Justin, and after Justin shrugged apologetically, he said, “Ram, there’s no need to be so sensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything said here, I assure you, won’t leak a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should listen, um, let Friend of Nature finish his story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smiled, “I don’t see anything worth discussing because you’ve got the wrong person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you’ve mistaken who you should be talking to, what else is there to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out of curiosity, may I ask why you believe I’m involved with the sinking of a whaling ship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin replied with a smile, “A guess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly just a guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no concrete evidence against you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, through my channels, I’ve located two places that sold torpedoes, and then the clues pointed to an arms dealer in South Africa related to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering several other minor factors, I thought it must be you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Friend of Nature asked me to identify the founder of the Green Terror Organization, I immediately came to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it’s a guess, but I can’t think of anyone more likely than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, I must say, rest assured that no one else in this world can reach the conclusions I have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should believe me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the best at this, you know what I mean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Gao Yang truly appreciated Justin’s scary intelligence capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged, “I’m sorry, Justin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really sorry, but you got it wrong this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin laughed, “Alright, let’s assume I’m wrong now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, would you be willing to listen to what Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature has to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey, even if you prefer to use a nickname, can’t you pick something better?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature is just too awkward to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature shrugged, “Let’s start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the name Friend of Nature was something I decided to use on the spur of the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was originally the name of an organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I decided to invest in this organization and lead it myself, I decided to take the old name as my alias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, I admit it’s an unpleasant name, both for an organization and for an individual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang gestured, “Please, continue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend of Nature cracked his neck, “To tell you the truth, I’m not interested in environmental protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, not very interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, when waving my checks around, purchasing everything that could be bought, and feeling that the world was getting somewhat boring, I saw that video, um, and I felt I found a direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I discovered something worth doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an act, it’s so damn cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I decided to become a staunch eco-warrior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Friend of Nature, Gao Yang immediately confirmed his thought that, indeed, Friend of Nature must be incredibly bored, supremely so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gao Yang’s lack of reaction, Friend of Nature shrugged, “So, I went ahead and established Friend of Nature, let them go at it, but the people I found, well, they somewhat lacked in execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t really up to the task, so I dissolved Friend of Nature and set up a new organization that I would lead personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of my admiration for the name Green Terror Organization, I’ve decided to apply for membership in your organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, um, would you accept me?” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like this work, you’re welcome to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes at Qidian (qidian.com).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your
