Chapter 102 The mysterious man in the ancient city
After arriving at Gulou City, Qiao Meng went directly to the third floor. In fact, the reason for coming here was very simple. The owner wanted to see Qiao Meng and said that he wanted to talk about cooperation today. Although he was very depressed, why?
Everything came together in a hurry.
But I have to do it. Since everything is so destined to happen together, it is better to finish it quickly to save the trouble of running back and forth.
After arriving on the third floor, Anna immediately stepped forward to greet him and whispered in his ear: "Today is the first time our boss has seen a guest in a year, which shows that he values you very much, so don't screw it up."
Looking at this posture, it seems that Anna is on her side, and she actually helps to remind her. Isn't she the right-hand man of the boss of Gulou City? Is it really good to help an outsider like this?
Although Qiao Meng understood Anna's thoughts in his heart, he didn't want to think about Anna's problem at all now. As long as he didn't respond, without any reciprocal feelings, he believed Anna wouldn't be so entangled anymore.
But no matter what, it was someone's good intention, so he still had to thank him, so Qiao Meng nodded and agreed, but did not speak.
Anna felt a little happy when she saw Qiao Meng acquiescing to her reminder. She thought he was thanking her and basically fell into his own world and couldn't get out.
Qiao Meng ignored Anna. He found that the three floors had changed a lot today. Almost every guest table had a different dish, just placed there. Moreover, there was not a single guest in Gulou City today. In order to entertain him
Is it really necessary to make such an effort? Don't even do business, just find a conference room to sit down and drink tea and talk about things? I can only sigh, rich people can really do whatever they want.
Play however you want.
"Mr. Qiao is really charming. Anna, the goddess pursued by many of us, is obsessed with you. Every time you are mentioned to me, you are praised so much that I feel a little envious."
Qiao Meng was observing his surroundings when suddenly a voice came out and he found a man sitting in the corner slowly tasting a steak.
"You must be the boss behind Gulou City. They say that the boss of Gulou City is very mysterious. I didn't expect that I would be able to meet him today." Qiao Meng also instantly realized that this should be the legendary Gulou City.
The person in charge of Loucheng is Gu Mutian.
"Mr. Qiao, please sit down. Don't be formal. Have you eaten? If not, let's have a meal together. As the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you won't starve to death. But if you don't use the delicious food in front of you, it is really a sin."
The mysterious man invited Qiao Meng directly, his words full of truth.
Although he was very curious about why this man was so wordy, he was even more curious about what the legendary boss of Gulou City looked like, so Qiao Meng slowly walked towards where this man was sitting.
"Mr. Qiao, please sit down."
"It's so funny to be so old-fashioned. You only have a table and a chair, so why don't you want me to sit on the floor?" Qiao Meng said bluntly.
He really feels strange about this person. Let him sit down. Look, every table around here is a single stool. If you don't sit down, it won't be easy to refute your face. Is this a disguised form of pressure?
No wonder there aren't any customers today. Is this guy just using this scene to show off?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I have a habit of never sharing the same table with others when eating, so I also prepare meals for each table. If necessary, we can talk wherever the table is. There is no one here.
The surroundings have also been specially designed. As long as you are not whispering and only you can hear what you say, we can all communicate." The mysterious man spoke again.
There is actually such an operation. The first thing that came out of Qiao Meng's heart at this time was this sentence, but he would definitely not say it out loud. It seemed a bit rude and too casual.
But even though he said this, he did it in a completely different way. Qiao Meng himself felt weird during the exchange. After looking at it, he still chose to sit at a table opposite this person.
In this way, at least the distance is the closest for communication, and you can visually make up your own mind. Although the table is relatively long, it is actually connected, and I feel more comfortable.
After sitting down, Qiao Meng saw that there was also a piece of steak on his table. He didn't seem to have seen this kind of steak when he came here to eat before. He couldn't help but want to try it, but he was a little embarrassed.
"It seems that Mr. Qiao also likes steak. You can try the latest flavor at this time. You really don't need to be restrained. Just treat it like eating at home."
The mysterious man always said something so abruptly that Qiao Meng even wondered if this guy had the ability to read minds. Why would he immediately explain something when he thought of something? It was really scary.
Moreover, this man is wearing a silver-white mask, and his face cannot be seen clearly at all. Is this deliberately mysterious? I even wonder if Anna has never seen the true face of this so-called boss.
In fact, what Qiao Meng said was not wrong. Indeed, even Anna had never seen this person's true face. Every conversation was just on the phone. No one working in Gulou City had ever seen this behind-the-scenes boss.
I only know that the biggest one is the general manager. Logically speaking, every general manager will have a chance to meet the boss.
But that was a work conversation that only happened once a year. Anna had just become the general manager, and had not yet reached the one-year term, so she was not qualified yet. If it hadn't been for Qiao Meng this time, she wouldn't have met so soon.
"I'm talking about the old boss. Although you have talked a lot, you have also prepared very well. I would like to express my gratitude to you for attaching so much importance to the meeting with me." Qiao Meng first affirmed the other party's careful design.
"But I feel like you are not very sincere." Qiao Meng began to let down his guard, and after tasting a small bite of the cut steak, he said with a look of great enjoyment.
"Oh? Really? How insincere is it?" The mysterious man actually smiled a little under the mask.
"If you sincerely want to talk to me, Qiao Meng, why does the old man wear a mask?" Qiao Meng said directly and concisely.
Qiao Meng began to wonder if this mysterious man was Gu Mutian. I heard that the current person in charge, Gu Mutian, was a middle-aged uncle. Could it be that all uncles nowadays have started to show off like this?
Although it does look very stylish, rich, status, and powerful, wearing a mask is a bit too much. Is it looking down on people, or is it deliberately trying to be cool, just like some male protagonists in TV dramas, such as Zuo
Luo or something.
"You don't have to doubt this. I am indeed the boss of Gulou City, and it's not time for you to see my face yet." The mysterious man said some strange words again, and what he said touched Qiao Meng's heart.
Confuse.
"Boss... I really believe you. Are you a god? How come you always guess what I'm thinking?"
Qiao Meng was really shocked. It was as if there were no secrets in front of this person. Basically, everything in his mind could be seen through. Could it be that he also had the same superpower as himself, and it was not just a simple superpower, but a mind-reading ability?
Hearing this, the mysterious man smiled and said, "I am not a god. The reason why I can know what you are thinking is actually my guess. Based on some of your expressions and verbal analysis, I can roughly know where you will be.
Think about something, it just requires more practice and is not difficult to do.”
"Fortunately, fortunately, this person has no special powers. He is the only one who is special." Qiao Meng quickly relaxed in his heart.
"Can you tell me the purpose of inviting me here today?" Qiao Meng adjusted his mentality and went directly to the topic.
The mysterious man did not answer him directly, but continued to eat the food on the plate silently, as if he had not heard him speak.
Doesn’t this mean that you can communicate as long as you speak loudly enough that only you can hear it? Why are you ignoring others now? Can rich people really do whatever they want to others?
Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the answer was yes. After waiting for a long time, there was no reply. In the air, Qiao Meng could only hear the clatter of knives and forks when separating beef and his own breathing.
But now I don’t know what to say next. Faced with this situation of no response, it’s like being in a large online group. It’s originally very lively, but you get cold feet as soon as you enter. It’s really embarrassing.
Just when he was about to ask again, the mysterious man spoke first, shocking Qiao Meng's nerves.
"Mr. Qiao is indeed a very patient person. In this case, I won't be verbose. I hope Gulou City can reach a cooperation agreement with you."
Qiao Meng's eyes were full of speechlessness. Who didn't know that you wanted to discuss cooperation? Can't you say something useful?
But he still said kindly: "Then what kind of cooperation does Mr. Gu want from us?"
"Don't worry about it. I think Mr. Qiao doesn't have much. He should be hungry. It's better to finish what you need to eat first. It won't be too late for us to chat later." The mysterious man said slowly, which made Qiao Meng almost feel stunned.
Suffocated to death.
So Qiao Meng finished the steak in three strokes, and even drank the drinks that were delivered.
"Can we talk now?"
The eyes of the mysterious man under the mask looked straight at Qiao Meng, and said with some humor: "I didn't expect Mr. Qiao to eat at such a speed, I admire him."
Then he said: "I hope you can take care of Gulou City."
Ahem——
"What did you say!"
"You heard me right. I have been observing you for a long time and know a lot about you. You are very suitable to be the leader of my Gulou City." The mysterious man said with certainty.
Qiao Meng is completely confused now. Do you know? What do you know? He has never seen it before. Just relying on Anna's words, he handed over a huge ancient city to his management. Isn't it too much? But then I thought
When I think about it, it's definitely not that simple. Although I really hope this is a good thing, I still have to be cautious.
"Let me think about this matter." Qiao Meng said directly.
"Okay, I know Mr. Qiao has important things to do tonight. Let's end our conversation here today. It will be the same time in three days. Don't wait until the date expires." After the mysterious man finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Qiao Meng also left Gulou City and went back to prepare before going to Yao's house.
