This made him relax a lot and so, he said over the phone, "Uncle Wade, you're right. Both of our families are relatives, but we haven't had much contact with each other for so many years now. We should have more contact when we have the opportunity to do so in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes." Jeremiah was also a witty old man and so, he naturally would not lose out to anyone when it came to putting on a n act. So, he said very politely, "Christian, there must be a reason why you're suddenly calling me on my cell phone.
Since we are all family, you don't have to b e so shy, and you can just get to the point directly."
Christian smiled and said, “Uncle Wade, you're really a very straightforward person!
In that case, I will not be so formal with you."
After saying that, Christian then said again, "Uncle Wade, I heard that the Wade family also participated in the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill in Aurous Hill. I even heard that you were a VIP at the auction. Was there really such a thing?"
Jeremiah smiled and said, "Yes, there was indeed such a thing. Why? Are you interested in the auction as well?"
Christian said, "Uncle Wade, I am not going to hide anything from you. I want to ask you for your help to introduce the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill to me. I want to ask him if I could buy a Rejuvenating Pill from him. The price is easily negotiable. Do you think it would be convenient for you?"
When Jeremiah heard these words, he said with much difficulty, “Oh, Christian! You don't know how popular the Rejuvenating Pill is now! Someone even offered the price of three hundred and seventy billion US dollars just to ask for the Rejuvenating Pill at the auction today."
Christian felt embarrassed beyond words, and he hurriedly expressed himself, "Uncle Wade, as long as the other party is willing t o sell, money is not a problem for me. It's just that I can't seem to contact the owner o f the Rejuvenating Pill right now, and that's why I want to come and ask you for your help..."
Jeremiah remembered what Charlie had previously instructed him and so, he asked curiously, "Christian, all those people who are buying the Rejuvenating Pill are all old people who are already in their seventies o r eighties. You are younger than Ashley, so why do you still need to buy the Rejuvenating Pill when you are so young?" Christian hurriedly said, "Uncle Wade, I am not buying the Rejuvenating Pill for my own use."
Jeremiah hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with my inlaws?"
Jeremiah spoke up and said, "Alright then, Christian. I understand your needs. You just want to meet with the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill and see if you can buy one from him in private, right?"
"Yes!" Christian hurriedly said, "The price i s negotiable, and if three hundred and seventy billion US dollars is too little, I can still add more!"
Jeremiah sighed and said, "Christian, there are many things you don't understand. The owner of the Rejuvenating Pill has a very eccentric personality. He does not take money very seriously. Moreover, he is a man who often can’t be found, and even I d o not have his contact information. He will be the one to contact me for anything and s o, I can only wait for him to contact me before I can mention this matter to him and try to help you communicate with him. However, I cannot give you a guarantee on when the communication will take place or whether it will be successful after we speak.”
Christian hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wade, do you know the name of this person? If it's not convenient for you, you can also reveal some information to me, and I will check it out myself."
Jeremiah glanced at Charlie and then said, "I'm sorry, Christian, but I really do not know much about this person. So, you should wait patiently first, and I will call you as soon as there is news!"
