Chapter 708: The visitor is a guest
Quint couldn't say anything, but Coco seemed to be talkative: "Brother, president, aren't you taking off your hat? I see... everyone is taking off their hats..."
Ai Luo smiled, and then glared at his necromancer. Then, he looked at Quint helplessly in front of him, and smiled shyly and awkwardly: "That... I'm really embarrassed.
.It’s not that I’m ungrateful, it’s just that I’m too busy with guild affairs, so my hair…is a bit lacking in quantity. I hope you don’t mind.”
The question in Quint's mind was finally answered. He laughed and said, "Well, we men all have problems in this area to some extent. President Arrow, I know a good potion store that has
How about I introduce you to some magic potions for hair growth?"
Ai Luo closed the menu in his hand, his face was full of gratitude, and he nodded repeatedly.
After ordering the food, while waiting for the food to be served, the two of them just exchanged pleasantries and chatted with each other. Especially Aiello showed a very interested look at today's game, and so did Quint.
He seemed very excited and tried his best to describe the many exciting aspects of today's game with great detail.
Hearing the wonderful things, Ai Luo couldn't help but show a nervous expression and nodded repeatedly.
"That's it, I finally won this game. Huh, you don't know, the guy I'm playing against in this round is the seventh-ranked player in our national competition Hanhai City area! It's really hard for me too.
Just won it!"
Ai Luo nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "It sounds really difficult. However, being able to win this step proves that Mr. Quint himself has considerable strength."
Quint laughed, waved his hands in a humble manner, and said, "No, no, I just watch too much! I just pay more attention to it."
Ai Luo was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Oh? It seems that Mr. Quint spends a lot of time practicing on weekdays!"
"No, that's not what I meant. In fact, if I really want to say it... it should be considered my professional relationship."
As he said this, the man raised his shoulders slightly and said with a casual smile: "I actually run a workshop, and this workshop... I also often take over workshops that make Guozhan brand orders.
"
Having said this, the waiter has already begun to place plates of bread on the table. These steaming breads are paired with a small butter dish next to them, exuding a fragrant aroma.
Coco swallowed a sip of saliva, as if she wanted to take it, but she didn't dare. Ai Luo smiled, picked up a piece of bread and put it on the plate in front of her, and then continued: "So you are the boss of the Guozhan brand.
!That’s really disrespectful! So you sponsor this national war card battle?”
Quint quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, of course it's not as strong as it is all sponsored by me. If you really want to say it, my sponsorship is only a little bit."
When Coco on the side tore open the bread, smeared it with butter, and bit into it as if it was delicious, Ai Luo was a little confused and said with a smile: "If you really want to say it... you are still one of the sponsors? You are like this
Isn’t it unfair for a sponsor to participate in such a competition? Or is there some kind of behind-the-scenes operation?"
The workshop owner raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said: "You have misunderstood me on this point, President Arrow. If I really want to operate in secret, I can choose someone to make a bet, and then bribe everyone.
Players, choose the final winner. But in fact, the benefits of doing so are too small."
Ai Luo tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "That's true. I heard that the final champion will only be rewarded with 30 gold coins."
The dissatisfied look on Quint's face finally slowly subsided, and he continued: "That is to say, the venue decoration, on-site order arrangement, hiring people to host, etc. cost more than this amount. I completely
There is no need to conduct so-called behind-the-scenes operations. The reason why I participated in this competition..."
At this point, Quint suddenly looked around like this, and then with a mysterious look, he came over and whispered: "I just... like the National War card. And I want to test how good I am.
!To tell you the truth, I think many of those national war cards were made in my workshop, so my strength shouldn’t be bad after all, right? You’re right, President Ai Luo.”
After saying this, the boss retracted his head and said nervously: "President Arrow, please don't tell others what I just said. If other people participating in the competition find out,
If you do, you will think that I really want to operate in secret!"
Ai Luo smiled and nodded slightly.
It was at this time that Ji Lian reappeared at their table. While taking off his coat and handing it to the waiter, he asked: "President, what are you talking about? What kind of secret operation is this?"
?”
The smile on Ai Luo's face still remained, and he shook his head slightly: "Nothing. Hmm? Where are the others?"
As soon as he mentioned this, the expression on Cream's face immediately became a bit ugly. He sighed helplessly and said: "Oh, forget it! Brad, Buffy and Cheese seem to have arrived.
She hasn't come back yet, so I won't say anything anymore. I don't know what happened to Suta. She has been shutting herself in the room and refusing to come out. Margot didn't listen to me saying that she wanted to come for dinner, so she left me alone.
Come here first, she wants to continue talking to Suta. Well, I guess they must have encountered something unhappy today."
Ai Luo thought about Margaux and Suta's plans for today...are they going to the Holy See of Light to seek help? Well, it seems that the problems of the members of his guild are really not ordinary.
"Since they don't come, forget it. You can sit down and eat."
Ai Luo briefly reviewed the situation of his family members in his mind, comforted William, and asked him to sit down.
The assassin walked around and sat down next to Coco. When he imitated Ai Luo and spread the napkin on his lap, he suddenly lowered his head and whispered in Coco's ear: "What did you say just now? What's so interesting?
Something?"
Coco glared at him and hummed: "Brother, the president, is bald - we were talking about this topic just now."
"Ah...ah?"
Ji Lian seemed to want to ask, but after a moment of hesitation, he finally closed his mouth.
At this time, the waiter finally started to serve the appetizers. Quint picked up the knife and fork in his hand and said with a slightly worried tone: "What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ai Luo exhaled and said slowly: "The members of our guild do have some troubles...but these problems are our guild's own problems."
"Look what you said! President Arrow, you are a little out of touch."
Compared to Ji Lian, who had been fighting with him all day, the workshop owner was now focused on Ai Luo's face, and even said with some enthusiasm -
"I see that we had such a fun and interesting chat today, I have long regarded President Ai Luo as my friend! And this is President Ai Luo's first time coming to Hanhai City, right? In comparison, what can I say?
I am considered an old resident in Hanhai City, and I have some connections in various places in the city, so if there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to do so! If I can help, I will definitely help!"
Obviously, Ji Lian doesn't seem to understand why this "one-day comrade" is now so polite and familiar with his president! Now he is also a little surprised.
However, Ai Luo still looked familiar and smiled, and said: "Well... look at what you said, how embarrassing would that be?"
Quint: "Hey! What's the point of being embarrassed? Please feel free to speak boldly! It doesn't matter if you just talk, right? If I can't do it, I can also think of someone who can help you and introduce you to a way, right?
"
Ai Luo nodded slightly and then said with a smile: "As for the specific situation... Mr. Quint, you should have heard it just now. I don't know exactly what happened to our members. So I need to go back and ask.
The answer may not be given until later. So, I can’t tell you what kind of help you can do now. So... let’s wait until tomorrow.”
Now that it was all said and done, the workshop owner couldn't say anything more. However, he also heard the "gap" in Ai Luo's words, so there was not much disappointment on his face.
Smile and raise the red wine glass in front of you.
Ai Luo did not refuse. He raised the glass of lemonade in front of him and touched it with the workshop owner, reaching some kind of agreement.
Next, it’s time for an exquisite dinner.
After the main course was served, the two parties no longer talked about any topics about the guild or the workshop. The content of the chat was all focused on various routines and battle ideas related to the national war cards.
At this point, Ji Lian's interest was directly aroused, and he began to talk with the workshop owner. For a moment, he was so excited that it seemed that everything related to the National War Cards in the world was remembered in his mind.
, for those who don’t know, I thought the assassin in front of me was a certain national war card master!
The meal lasted for almost three hours, and we continued chatting until it was completely dark outside, and even when the number of pedestrians on the street gradually began to decrease, the dinner was considered over.
Chapter completed!
