What's the benefit of Chapter 2564!
Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue ordered items of normal price and did not choose high-end stores.
Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue ordered four dishes, a roast duck, a stir-fried beef, a vegetable and a soup, and then asked Kang Shaojie to order something as well.
These four dishes were not much for Kang Shaojie. In fact, he felt they were too little. It was not because he thought they had big appetites, but he was treating them to a meal, so even if they couldn't finish the food, they couldn't order too little, otherwise he would seem too stingy. Kang Shaojie still had to save face.
Then, Kang Shaojie ordered three more dishes, all of which were the restaurant's signature dishes and the most expensive.
Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue didn't care what dishes Kang Shaojie ordered.
After the waiter left, Kang Shaojie said to Gu Ning, "Miss Gu, I want to ask you something. Please don't mind. If you can tell me what I want to tell you, I won't force you. In any case, I really want to make friends with Miss Gu, so I don't want to make Miss Gu feel bad because I asked her something that made her unhappy."
Although Kang Shaojie's words made Gu Ning feel that he had other purposes in inviting her to dinner, Gu Ning felt some helplessness from Kang Shaojie. She guessed that Kang Shaojie must have some difficulties that needed her solution or something, so she did not feel unhappy because of his other purposes.
Having other purposes may not be a bad thing, so Gu Ning said: "Just ask whatever you want to ask, Mr. Kang! I, Gu Ning, am not a stingy person. If I can say it, I will definitely say it. If I can't say it, I won't say it even if I am forced to."
After getting Gu Ning's response, Kang Shaojie asked directly: "I want to ask Miss Gu, what is the probability that Miss Gu's gambling stone can be solved with jade? I know this question is rather presumptuous. If this question makes Miss Gu uncomfortable, please don't rush to get angry. Although I do have a purpose in asking Miss Gu this question, I definitely don't have any ill will towards Miss Gu. It's just that Kang has a more difficult matter recently, and I need someone with higher gambling stone ability to help."
As for what kind of thorny problem it is, I can’t say for now.
From Kang Shaojie's attitude, Gu Ning really felt the sincerity and helplessness of the other party, so he didn't mind it. "My luck has always been good. I have gambled with people many times and never lost, including the head of the Wang family, one of the three major raw material developers in Teng City."
Gu Ning's words seemed a bit arrogant, but they were indeed the truth.
After hearing what Kang Shaojie said, she probably guessed what favor he wanted from someone with high gambling stone skills. If she guessed correctly, it was still related to gambling stones, or Kang Shaojie was going to compete with someone and wanted to find someone to help him win.
Kang Shaojie was very surprised when he heard Gu Ning's words, especially when Gu Ning said that the head of the Wang family, one of the three largest raw material developers in Teng City...
Although what Gu Ning said sounded exaggerated, from Gu Ning's serious and confident expression, King Kang Shaojie could not doubt that what she said was false.
And of course he knew about the Wang family, and he knew a lot about it. After all, they were in the same industry, and they were all big guys in raw material developers. How could they not know and understand it!
In addition to knowing and understanding, we are also quite familiar with each other! Being familiar does not mean that we have a friendly relationship. On the contrary, as colleagues, most of us are competitors, fighting openly and secretly.
Although they are in two different cities, it does not prevent them from competing for customers. Generally, they do not need to look for small customers, but for big customers, they still need to find and negotiate with them themselves.
Of course he also knew about the incident at the Wang family, and he knew about it the very next day.
After the Wang family encountered trouble, the development of raw materials by the Wang family was also taken over by others.
However, no one would sympathize with the Wang family's downfall, because the Wang family had done so many bad things that they deserved their downfall.
As for whether the Wang family was replaced by someone else, he did not deliberately investigate, so he was not sure. He heard that they were bought by a man.
Yes, because it was Leng Shaoting who took over the raw material development rights of the Wang family, so few people knew that Gu Ning was the boss behind the scenes.
"You defeated the head of the Wang family?" Although Kang Shaojie felt that Gu Ning would not lie to him, he was quite surprised, so he couldn't help but ask back, wanting to be more sure.
"That's right," Gu Ning replied affirmatively, "Perhaps, I have guessed what you want to do with a gambling stone expert. Of course, I may not be able to guess it correctly. So, if Mr. Kang trusts me, just tell me your purpose directly. If I can't help, I won't tell anyone that you need to find a gambling stone expert."
Gu Ning doesn't like going around in circles, it makes him tired.
Since Gu Ning said so, Kang Shaojie stopped beating around the bush and believed that Gu Ning had guessed his purpose. He also believed what Gu Ning said, that if it couldn't help him, he wouldn't tell anyone.
Although he and Gu Ning had just met for the first time, sometimes trust came from feelings rather than the length of time they had known each other.
On the contrary, sometimes trust, good and long-lasting relationships are not as good as those with a stranger.
So, Kang Shaojie said directly: "In this case, I will say it directly. In fact, this matter is an internal matter of the Kang family. My father's health is getting worse day by day. My eldest brother is in politics, so he wants to hand over the family business to me. But! My uncle wants to compete for the power of raw material development with his good ability in gambling on stones. Many directors of the board of directors have been bribed by my uncle, so they all expressed their support."
"But we have always been unwilling to compromise, so in the end, my uncle proposed a competition. Whoever wins will be the one in power. I had no choice but to agree. The time is the day after tomorrow, so I have been looking for someone with strong gambling skills to assist me, but I haven't found one. Today I met you, Miss Gu, so I wanted to learn more about your abilities..."
Kang Shaojie said, and now he could no longer conceal his helplessness.
"What good will it be if I can help you?" Gu Ning asked.
Although this was someone else's family affair, and he had nothing to do with Kang Shaojie, it was not appropriate for him to interfere.
But Gu Ning also has his own plans and intentions, so as long as he gets what he wants, there is nothing wrong with interfering.
Anyway, she has been involved in a lot of other people's business, and this is not something that harms the world.
