"Miss Xingji is competent." Gu Hengsheng said, "Her swordsmanship and Originium skills are good enough, oh yes, you have to learn to drive as fast as possible, otherwise I can't guarantee that she won't take your job .”

Xing Ji stayed at the company to help him with some literature work, and she also had other things to do.According to her, there have been some changes in the astrology recently, and she needs to observe it carefully.

Regarding this, Gu Hengsheng didn't mind raising an idler.Anyway, the salary given to her is not high, and her special ability may explode to greater value in the future, so I let her go.

"Get out of the car and follow me."

Gu Hengsheng walked towards the villa first, and Indra also hurried down, locked the car, and quickly followed.

PS: The tenth update is over, and the hand is about to be broken.

In addition, ask for a wave of tickets~

 

Chapter 256 Chapter 253 Betrothed?

This is an elegant villa, not big, but extremely delicately decorated.Well-tended gardening reveals the taste of the owner, while the subtle fragrance in the air reveals his identity.The servant was already waiting at the door. After Gu Hengsheng got off the car, the maid immediately led him to the main hall.

Indra sniffed, then sneezed: "Ah-choo!"

She then rubbed her nose, and muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "This smell is really bad!"

Gu Hengsheng turned his head to look at her, and said, "Don't talk too much!"

Indra then remained silent.

Under the guidance of the servant, the two soon came to the main hall.Immediately, a middle-aged man with short stature and purple hair walked towards him with a warm smile: "Sir, you are here, it really makes the humble house shine!"

He spoke in an aria favored by Victorian nobles, which made Gu Hengsheng uncomfortable.But even so, for Qian's sake, he smiled and said to him: "Sir, Mr. Gu is just a countryman who exploited a little surplus value according to the policy of Longmen by chance. It's not worth it." Such a compliment, sir."

Naturally, this wealthy businessman could not understand what "residual value" is, but this did not prevent him from hearing that Gu Hengsheng was being modest.Immediately, he laughed loudly and said, "It's hard to find a young man like you who is capable but humble and studious in Londinium now!"

Looking at the hypocritical politeness of the two, Indra felt that he was bored to death.However, she didn't speak. She did a good job in carrying out Gu Hengsheng's orders.

Talking, the two walked across the house to the middle of the garden.There is a round stone table and two stone benches.The maids have made tea and prepared desserts, and now they are waiting quietly.The evening sun shines on the ground, making it look peaceful and leisurely.

The two sat down, and then picked up the teacups at the same time.Gu Hengsheng took a sip, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Good tea!"

In fact, he couldn't drink anything good or bad, but the tea was really good.Good tea is good tea, no matter what other people think, anyway, he himself believes so firmly.

"Haha, it's my honor that you like it." Seeing his reaction, the spice merchant smiled, "We asked around before inviting you, but we couldn't find out your taste preference at all. In desperation, thinking of Yan After all, China is the origin of tea, so I prepared these. It was a mistake, but I was wrong!"

"To be honest, I'm actually not from Yan Kingdom." Gu Hengsheng thought for a while, and reported his family background, "I'm from Kasimir, and I went to Longmen just to study. As for these businesses, it's more a coincidence."

"Oh?" The spice merchant was slightly stunned, and then smiled wryly, "Mr. Hoquad has hurt me a lot. He didn't even tell me about such an important matter!"

"Mr. Gu, I don't know the truth about this matter. I'm so offended, please forgive me!"

"No, no, it's nothing. I did make my fortune in Longmen of Yan Kingdom, and it's not wrong to say that it is my second hometown." Gu Hengsheng shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not offensive."

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Sir, also has a relationship with Mr. Hoquet?"

"Yes, Mr. Hoquad and I have been old friends for many years." The spice merchant nodded, "Mr. Hoquad spoke highly of you, and thought you were a rare genius once in a hundred years. At the very beginning I still didn't believe it, until Mr. came to Londinium, I realized that Mr. Hoquad's words are still reserved!"

Oh?I come to Londinium?

Since he arrived in Londinium, the only thing he has done that can be regarded as a major event seems to be the public opinion counterattack.But in Gu Hengsheng's own opinion, this is not too pretty.After all, until now, there are still quite a few people who doubt, oppose, or even hostile to him, so that when he implements certain plans, he always has to consider these invisible obstacles, and even has to pay a little more for this.

But even so, this counterattack was an unprecedented beautiful battle in the eyes of most wealthy businessmen in Londinium.Gu Hengsheng accurately identified the pain point and secretly fanned the flames, triggering this huge turmoil from top to bottom.Countless people were sacked for their official positions, and the faction was hit hard, but he succeeded in cleansing himself, and he hardly received much negative impact.

Even when the storm was at its most violent, he was still in Columbia, watching the fire from the other side, and he didn't end up in person at all!

Just horrible!

In the eyes of the big businessmen, this guy has almost the ability to mediate between heaven and earth.For a time, many people's minds changed. Some of the hostile ones became neutral, while the other neutral ones became friendly.

For example, this spice merchant originally planned to maintain a neutral attitude towards Gu Hengsheng for Huo Quaid's sake.But after seeing his ability, he understood that he might not be able to fight against it.

It's better to make friends with him in advance. He is in the spice business. With this guy's help in the future, it will be convenient to dump his goods to other places.If he's happy to show his power to manipulate public opinion one more time, reducing the wares of his competitors... that would be wonderful!

It is true that there will be many risks in this process, for example, some conservatives will become more hostile to Gu Hengsheng because of this, and by the way, they may also be hostile to him who is united with Gu Hengsheng.But in his view, this risk is acceptable!

What business can be done without risk?His competitors have been thinking about killing him all day long. Without such courage, how could he survive the fierce competition?

His thoughts were roughly like this, and Gu Hengsheng could guess from what he said just now that it was almost the same.

So, he smiled and prepared to take the initiative to attack his purpose: "Mr. Hoquad is really well-connected. When he introduced someone to me last time, I gained a firm partner. I want to come today , I can make this trip worthwhile!"

"Mr. Gu will definitely make this trip worthwhile." The spice merchant smiled, and also no longer concealed his purpose.

And at this moment, at the back, a little purple-haired Filin girl was looking over here.She made a little movement, so the three people, including Indra, all looked over there.

The little girl shrank her head back, but she seemed to have thought of something, and she mustered up her courage again, and looked over here.

"She is my daughter." The businessman offered to introduce, "Sir, she seems very curious about you."

Gu Hengsheng nodded and answered with a smile: "Children, it is normal and beautiful to be full of curiosity about this world."

He said very normal polite words, but then, the big businessman said something astonishing, which made Gu Hengsheng stunned: "I want to betroth her to you, what do you want, sir?"

 

Chapter 257 Chapter 254 Indra's Transformation

hey hey?

Gu Hengsheng was stunned, and then couldn't help but glance at his daughter again.

This little girl should be less than ten years old this year, right?

Ah this...

Not only him, but Indra at the door couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

This rich businessman is really disgusting. He actually abused his daughter so badly!

But she held back her anger and wanted to see how Gu Hengsheng would deal with it.If he accepts, Indra vows to teach him a lesson!

"No, no, sir, this is not appropriate." Gu Hengsheng shook his head repeatedly. To be honest, he was really taken aback. "The age gap is too big, this is not very good..."

However, the big businessman in front of him didn't seem to care what Gu Hengsheng said.He turned his head and called softly, "Come here."

The little purple-haired girl ran all the way over and gave Gu Hengsheng a shy look.Gu Hengsheng felt uncomfortable all over. The Shu King didn't put such a lot of pressure on him at the beginning, but now it was the eyes of a little girl, which made him wish to escape from the villa immediately.

"Go to my brother's side." He said, and the little girl sat beside Gu Hengsheng——

Gu Hengsheng quickly moved his seat, joking, such a young girl would feel a strong sense of guilt.

"Sir, this is really inappropriate." He continued, even with a hint of agitation and hostility in his tone, "Her fate should be decided by herself... Ah, maybe you think this is a bit shocking, but at the very least, first Let's wait until she grows up to decide."

"Don't force such a young child to do such a thing, okay?"

A person's destiny should be controlled by himself. For parents who are used to unlimited power and unlimited control over their children, this is indeed a bit shocking.

Outside the door, Indra breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at least you guy didn't disappoint me.

The smile on the wealthy businessman's face remained undiminished, as if he had guessed Gu Hengsheng's answer a long time ago.At this time, the little girl raised her head and glanced at him.

Then, the ruthless voice of the system rang in his ears.

"Conditions are met, congratulations to the host for getting the clue: [Melansha], credit points +20."

Ugh?

Any clues here?

Gu Hengsheng was really surprised, because this was really beyond his expectation.He didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from this trip, let alone whether the cooperation was negotiated in the end, with just this clue, he would definitely not lose money!

Looking up, he saw a kind smile on the face of the spice merchant.It's just that for some reason, he always feels that smile is a bit wretched.

Although Victoria's law expressly stipulates monogamy, there are never few things that violate the rules in the open and in the dark.It is very common for a wealthy businessman like him to have several lovers, illegitimate children, etc., but in the traditional concept, no matter what, the importance of men is greater than that of women.

The eldest son will inherit the family business, while the daughter will be reduced to a marriage tool.Just like now, even though she is less than ten years old, her future marriage seems to be doomed.

"Sir, I'm still young." He emphasized again, "And your daughter is still young, so it's really inappropriate to make this decision so early."

"That's right, I was a little too hasty." The spice merchant laughed, "To be honest, I've been thinking about what kind of talent is worthy of my daughter. I didn't even look down on those young talents before, and I finally met them. A great talent, if you accidentally miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

As he spoke, he laughed uncontrollably.Gu Hengsheng smiled apologetically, and his disgust towards this guy grew stronger in his heart.

This guy is also worthy of being a father?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Melantha next to him, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Even if I refused today, in an unknown tomorrow, I am afraid that her fate will be the same as that of other ladies, marrying a guy I never liked...

Forget it, Rhodes Island will definitely take care of this matter in the future, so I don't have to worry about it!

With this thought in mind, Gu Hengsheng decided to change the topic to another side.Then he looked at the spice merchant again, and said, "Sir, let your daughter back away for a while, let's talk about some business matters!"

……

The two chatted for a long time, about the current situation in Victoria and so on.As the leader here, the spice merchant has a lot of experience in this field, and he gave Gu Hengsheng a lot of information that he couldn't get.He really felt that he had benefited a lot, but if he were to be this guy's son-in-law because of this, then he would never agree.

This kind of problem has violated his bottom line, no amount of money can be really fragrant.

Declining his proposal to stay with him for dinner, Gu Hengsheng took Indra and left quickly.

After getting into the car, he finally had the opportunity to turn on the system to see what this new clue was.

[Melansha]: Rhodes Island trainee operator.

Gu Hengsheng couldn't help being a little speechless, what kind of organization is this f*cking Rhodes Island?Why can even a small person related to it provide a clue for himself?

Could it be that... the world I live in is actually a literary work like "Hokage" and "Pirate", and Rhodes Island is the protagonist of this work?

He had this guess in his mind, but now that he was no longer on Earth, he could no longer confirm it, so he had to give up.

While he was thinking about this while sitting in the driver's seat, Indra in the co-pilot was also thinking about something.After a while, seeing that he was still driving, she asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you? Are you still thinking about that pretty little girl?"

Gu Hengsheng withdrew his thoughts, and glanced at her lightly: "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Indra looked him up and down, and then said in an uncertain tone: "Before those corrupt officials and criminals were arrested, no one knew what they were capable of doing!"

She showed her teeth and claws, but she seemed a little lacking in confidence.Gu Hengsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he knew that she was chronically ill, so he didn't care, and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you."
