Chapter 217: I want to ask for advice
When Wu Chen saw Gu Ruibo approaching, he stood up politely and shook hands with Gu Ruibo. Gu Ruibo was really enthusiastic. He shook hands with Wu Chen while laughing, the laughter even made others feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, it’s okay. If someone in their twenties laughed and talked to others like this, there would be a sense of incongruity.
But Gu Ruibo was not a young man.
He was a little older than Ding Ruilong, already thirty-two years old. He was six years older than Li Ruotai. Although he looked a little younger and not much older than Li Ruotai, he had a mature temperament.
So the expression and state he showed, everything was very natural.
“Mr. Wu, why didn’t you tell us in advance that you would come to Shanghai, so I can have someone pick you up in advance, hahahahaha… You look so young. Promising talent! Promising talent…”
Too enthusiastic!
Gu Ruibo exchanged a few words with Wu Chen… If it were any other young man, he might even get goosebumps.
Mao Rusong at the desk was even more confused.
Gu Ruibo had come in before, answered a phone call, and then went out. When he came in for the first time, although he didn’t say anything to Wu Chen, his attitude at first was not the same as now.
“Lao Mao!” Gu Ruibo looked at Mao Rusong again, his tone was familiar but also a bit complaining, “Look at you… Your subordinates are speaking nonsense. What kind of killer, what kind of troublemaker? Could Mr. Wu be the one? He’s a friend!”
Mao Rusong was in a daze. Mao Rusong reacted for a while before answering, “Wrong, did I misunderstand… Hahaha…”
Mao Rusong laughed after finishing speaking.
The atmosphere immediately became extremely harmonious.
“Mr. Wu hasn’t eaten yet, right? When did you arrive? Or…” Gu Ruibo glanced at his watch and asked Wu Chen repeatedly.
“I haven’t eaten yet,” Wu Chen said with a smile.
“Then let’s find a place to have a meal. I’ll ride with you. Lao Mao, come with us!” Gu Ruibo said and gestured to Mao Rusong, then asked Wu Chen, “Mr. Wu, do you often come to Shanghai? What kind of food do you like? I will arrange it.”
“Anything is fine, you can arrange it.” Wu Chen smiled naturally as he spoke.
Seeing Wu Chen’s attitude, Gu Ruibo felt relieved.
It didn’t matter whether Wu Chen was powerful or amazing, as long as Wu Chen didn’t come here to find fault, then everything would be fine!
Although Gu Ruibo didn’t even know what Wu Chen was doing with Mao Rusong, even firing a gun, but no matter what it was, Wu Chen’s attitude at this time represented that he could talk.
At the very least, he, Gu Ruibo, was able to make peace.
After entering the office, the office door opened again, and the three of them left the office together.
They went downstairs together.
Whether it was Gu Ruibo’s bodyguard, Mao Rusong’s bodyguard, or his men, none of them knew what was going on. But seeing the three of them talking and laughing, they naturally couldn’t do anything special and just followed.
When going downstairs, Gu Ruibo also asked Wu Chen, “Did Mr. Wu come by car, or…”
“High-speed rail,” Wu Chen replied.
Gu Ruibo knew it well.
When he arrived at the parking lot, Gu Ruibo first asked Wu Chen to get into the back seat of his car, a customized bulletproof Mercedes-Benz Maybach. When Wu Chen got in, he held the door and refused to get in. He leaned forward and said to Wu Chen, “Wu Chen Sir… I’ll chat with Lao Mao. We’ll talk again when we get there.”
“You’re busy.” Wu Chen smiled.
Gu Ruibo closed the car door and went to Mao Rusong’s car.
He definitely wanted to talk to Mao Rusong in detail and alone. Not only did he not hide it from Wu Chen, but he let Wu Chen know about it. It was also a test of Wu Chen’s attitude, and it also encouraged Wu Chen to treat them as a friend.
Soon…
The convoy took off.
Behind the Mercedes-Benz Maybach was Mao Rusong’s car, an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce…
“Li Ruotai’s brother-in-law? Li Ruobing’s current boyfriend?” Mao Rusong suddenly remembered it after hearing Gu Ruibo’s words, but his tone was still extremely wrong.
Because Gu Ruibo’s attitude was too wrong.
“Brother Xiaogu, does this Wu Chen have any background?” Mao Rusong asked doubtfully.
“Brother Xiaogu” was a nickname-like title for Gu Ruibo. Anyone who was close to him on the same level as him, whether they were older or younger than him, called him this. The name Brother Xiaogu in Shanghai was very famous.
Hearing Mao Rusong’s question, Gu Ruibo was silent for a moment. His mouth was very strict. He couldn’t speak about many of the things that Li Ruotai told him.
“Very powerful. A’tai is a little afraid of him,” Gu Ruibo glanced at him and said that.
But that’s enough!
Mao Rusong’s expression changed.
Mao Rusong naturally knew who Li Ruotai was, and Li Ruotai was an extremely flamboyant person with a bad temper. Gu Ruibo often had to support Li Ruotai, the number one person in the third generation of the Li family, but Li Ruotai was afraid… of Wu Chen?
Thinking about it, Mao Rusong’s mind suddenly became alive.
If Wu Chen was really that awesome, then for Mao Rusong, he was someone worthy of his initiative to make friends with or even curry favor with!
“Don’t ask, you can’t mess with him.” Gu Ruibo glanced at Mao Rusong. “Lao Mao, let’s talk about you. What happened? How did you mess with him?”
“No, it wasn’t me…” Mao Rusong first defended himself, and then began to explain the situation.
He said it all.
There was no need to hide anything, because the most critical part, the incident of Mao Rusong going against Ding Ruilong was done by Gu Ruibo, and Gu Ruibo already knew it.
Gu Ruibo listened and asked a few questions from time to time. After listening, he felt relieved. “That’s okay…” Gu Ruibo said first, then asked, “Lao Mao, what are you going to do?”
In fact, he could persuade Mao Rusong to listen to Wu Chen, but he still had to look at Mao Rusong’s attitude first. Mao Rusong was not a small figure, and the relationship was tough. It was difficult for Gu Ruibo to order him to do anything.
“Of course, pretend to be blind.” Mao Rusong laughed after finishing speaking.
More than twenty minutes later…
Taoyuan Private Kitchen, located on the Bund of Shanghai, was one of the top Chinese restaurants in Shanghai.
The convoy arrived.
Everyone went upstairs. Finally, only Wu Chen, Gu Ruibo, and Mao Rusong entered the private room. They had already made arrangements by phone when the convoy was on the road. The place was decorated in a very stylish way, and the private room was not too big, but the atmosphere was different. Excellent privacy.
They ordered food, then chatted.
The topic was led by Gu Ruibo. At his age and family background, he was naturally very talkative, but he didn’t tell Wu Chen about Mao Rusong and Ding Ruilong. He just chatted and rambled on.
He always mentioned Li Ruotai.
Li Ruobing was also mentioned.
He and Li Ruobing naturally knew each other, but their relationship was ordinary and they had no contact in private. The last time they met was when he went to Donghai on business two years ago and had dinner with Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai.
This meal took a long time.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, before the meal was finished, Mao Rusong went to the toilet and left the private room for a while.
Wu Chen and Gu Ruibo were the only ones left in the private room.
“Mr. Wu, listening to A’tai…” Gu Ruibo suddenly changed his voice. He wanted to say something, but paused, and then said, “Mr. Wu, do you know my older brother?”
“Yes.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Then Mr. Wu thinks, I want to ask for advice. What do you think… how can I beat my older brother?” Gu Ruibo asked.
The amount of information contained in his question was very large.
If someone didn’t know him well, it’s impossible to know what he’s talking about.
Gu Ruibo was testing Wu Chen, and Li Ruotai actually mentioned something about “predicting the unknown”.
That was too exaggerated. Naturally, Gu Ruibo would not have thoughtlessly asked Wu Chen what would happen tomorrow.
But his problem could be said to be super complex and difficult to solve!
