Chapter 26 – Can't you see?
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen is here!"
"Please sit, please sit!"
After Shen Gu entered the room, the older man sitting at the head of the table loudly welcomed him.
But compared to Wu Jiayi, who stood up with a smile on her face, Mr. Zhou remained seated and welcomed Shen Gu politely.
The other people at the table, seeing that Mr. Zhou didn't stand up, also sat politely without getting up.
They all looked at Shen Gu up and down. When they saw that he was very young, their surprised expressions quickly replaced their smiles.
Wu Jiayi, who was sitting on Mr. Zhou's right, motioned for Shen Gu to sit next to her.
There were originally six people at the table. Although Shen Gu's chair looked no different from the others, it was definitely added later, along with the glass and cutlery in front of him.
"Jiayi said she was going to go downstairs after you arrived, but I and the others wanted to see your true appearance!"
"You know, Jiayi is a top-tier actress in China. If you have caught her attention, Mr. Shen, you must have something extraordinary. Maybe I will need your help in the future!"
Although Mr. Zhou's words were polite, if Shen Gu didn't have a strong background, he would have to yield to the other party's powerful momentum after hearing these words!
However, Shen Gu had no intention of compromising and taking Wu Jiayi away before he came.
Although Shen Gu was meeting Mr. Zhou for the first time, he could imagine that blindly showing respect and obedience in front of him would not only fail to earn his respect, but might also lead to even more bullying!
Of course, it also required strength to confront someone head-on.
If you had no strength and tried to confront a "big shot", the outcome would certainly be disastrous.
At this moment, Shen Gu thought he had enough strength and actually said to Mr. Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, don't be polite. If Jiayi agrees, I can help you."
The table fell silent!
Mr. Zhou's joking smile immediately froze on his face.
Wu Jiayi anxiously tapped Shen Gu's thigh under the table with her right hand to signal him to be careful.
But Shen Gu was not afraid at all and stared fearlessly into Mr. Zhou's eyes as he was about to erupt!
"Hahaha!"
"Good!"
"Young man, you have great courage!"
"Now I understand why Jiayi likes you!"
With Mr. Zhou's current status and position, his long-term cultivation and experience of the world allowed him to remain composed even after drinking quite a bit of alcohol, and he did not immediately confront Shen Gu.
He forced out a smile and instructed the waiter to pour Shen Gu some red wine.
Then he lifted his glass and said to Shen Gu, "Mr. Shen, you are so young, and the courage you show in your speech has already surpassed that of this old man. Your parents must be influential figures in China, right?"
Mr. Zhou didn't continue with the toast, but his gaze slowly became sharp. Holding up the half-filled glass of red wine with his right hand, he waited quietly for Shen Gu's reply.
Obviously, Mr. Zhou's experience did not always mean he had self-control.The meaning he expressed just now, to put it simply, is that if Shen Gu's parents are not stronger than him, he will definitely turn his face and teach Shen Gu a lesson!
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes at the table were focused on Shen Gu's face.
Seeing that the situation had reached the point of "showing the blade," Wu Jiayi suppressed her curiosity about Shen Gu's identity and quickly picked up her own wine glass and smiled at Zhou Lao Ban:
"Brother Zhou, my boyfriend is young and ignorant, and he often offends people with his words."
"Let's both apologize to you with a drink and make it up to you. Please don't lower yourself to his level!"
However, Zhou Lao Ban seemed to have not seen or heard anything at all, completely ignoring everything Wu Jiayi did to ease the atmosphere.
Shen Gu narrowed his eyes slightly at this and did not answer Zhou Lao Ban's words.
Instead, he said expressionlessly to Zhou Lao Ban, "My girlfriend is toasting to you! Can't you see?"
"How dare you!"
The two bodyguards who had been left in the private room immediately shouted at Shen Gu in anger.
One of the bodyguards who was not standing near the door, but behind Zhou Lao Ban, even rushed over and raised his fist at Shen Gu!
It seemed that as long as Zhou Lao Ban gave the order, he would attack Shen Gu.
"I wonder if A-level self-defense martial arts can handle him!"
Shen Gu guessed that this bodyguard must have been hired by Zhou Lao Ban at a high price, and he was a little worried. However, he remained calm and said to Zhou Lao Ban, "Is violence the only way to solve this?"
"If that's the case, then I will really underestimate you!"
He did not even look at the bodyguard during the conversation.
At this moment, the system prompt suddenly sounded in Shen Gu's mind.
【There is a new item in your store. Please check it out.】
Shen Gu opened the store with his mind and saw that this new item was indeed related to the crisis he might face now.
【Name: S-level self-defense martial arts】
【Price: 500 game coins】
【Type: Skill】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Function: After purchasing, the host will have the ability of a top-notch martial artist】
【Note: It is an upgrade to the original A-level self-defense martial arts and can only be used for self-defense. The martial arts ability will automatically disappear after the threat is eliminated.】
"500 game coins?"
"System, are you kidding me?"
With only 310 game coins left in the system, Shen Gu couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"According to the rules, shouldn't you only sell it to me for a maximum of 310?"
"If you sell it at such a high price this time, what's the difference between not putting this item on the shelf?"
【Please be patient, host.】
【You may have some misunderstandings.】
【You were able to afford what I sold before because you could afford it.】
【The items I sell are all worth their value, and this item is truly worth this price.】
【Its appearance is only because I detected that you need it.】
【As for not being able to afford it, it has nothing to do with me, dear.】
Finally, the word "dear" made Shen Gu even angrier.
"Can you tell me if I can deal with the guy who wants to attack me with just A-level self-defense martial arts?"
In addition to being angry, Shen Gu also hoped that the system could be honest for once.
【I'm sorry, he is not within my service range.】【He is not even a woman, let alone an S-level goddess】
Afterwards, the system stopped talking, leaving Shen Gu sitting in his seat with a look of speechlessness.
Mr. Zhou thought that this expression of speechlessness was directed at him, and his fists, which had already clenched tightly under the table, became even tighter.@@novelbin@@
During the time when Shen Gu was negotiating with the system with little results, there were always two "little people" in his heart "engaged in fierce battle"!
A red "little person" was roaring, "Let the bodyguard beat up this bastard quickly. For so many years, no one in this city has dared to be so unreasonable to you!"
However, the blue "little person" was persuading with a worried look, "Don't act impulsively! He must have learned about your strength from Wu Jiayi. Unless he's crazy, he must have the capital to be so arrogant behind his back!"
What do you think?
