Chapter 582 - Thirst for Talents (1/2)

Having sauntered in Qiu City for a while, they still find nothing. They don’t come back to the quadrangle courtyard until dusk.

Shao Gusu and Shao Shuai spend the whole day sitting in the house today, awaiting.

Watching Tang Jiusi and the others come back, Shao Gusu immediately stands up and rushes forward, reaching out her hands to grip Tang Jiusi by his collar.

“Tang Jiusi, are you looking for a beating? How dare you leave me alone and run out yourself?” Shao Gusu looks rather irritated.

Tang Jiusi frowns and feels so annoyed, “Get your hands off me.”

“What if I don’t?” Shao Gusu sneers and looks as if she were not threatened at all.

Tang Jiusi tries to refute and yet says coldly in the end, “If you don’t…”

“What?”

“I will forgive you then!” Tang Jiusi says viciously.

Gao Ge, Yue Xincheng and the others watch them talking, composed and even amused.

They kind of admire Tang Jiusi’s style of talking.

He is able to talk like a wimp in the most imposing manner.

Yet, it is kind of nice.

Otherwise, why does Gao Ge think that they make a perfect couple?

“Ahem. Let’s have dinner first,” Shao Shuai interrupts with a smile, “Why don’t we continue talking after dinner?”

“Humph. I’ll let you go this time!” Shao Gusu releases Tang Jiusi’s collar and snorts.

After they sit down again, the chrysanthemum wine, the local specialty, is really served over the dinner. However, having taken a sip of it, Gao Ge finds it a bit unpalatable. It tastes a little bitter with a remaining taste of unbearable sweetness, which is not acceptable to Gao Ge.

Hence, he still asks for the Wuliangye Liquor.

As to the sauce-scented liquor like Maotai, Gao Ge doesn’t like it either.

“Gao Ge, if you need our help, just feel free to tell us,” Shao Shuai clinks his glass with Gao Ge’s, saying with a grin.

Gao Ge nods his head smilingly and feels a bit strange.

Somehow he feels that Shao Shuai’s current attitude is quite weird.

When he was in Keli City, he felt that Shao Shuai was a warmhearted man to some degree, who would definitely not step into others’ business.

Nevertheless, he doesn’t say anything about it, or he will make Shao Shuai lose face.

Gao Ge is not too young. He still has a sense of propriety. Even if he can’t disclose that he is looking for Meng Jing, it is no big deal to say okay to Shao Shuai first.

It is always said that one must stay sincere and distinguish clearly between right and wrong. Gao Ge believes that it is not true sincerity but whimsically ideal foolishness. This is what life is about. There is no problem with being cool, but if you make yourself incompatible with the people around you for being cool, it is really problematic.

Of course, if you can be totally cool and true to yourself, just like the master who is learned, free from the boundaries of the worldly trifles, and able to pursue his own life and make every day count so as to stay spiritually contented and carefree, Gao Ge won’t say anything about it.

However, if you want to be yourself and do whatever you want, and meanwhile yearn for being acknowledged by the others and living a well-off life, in Gao Ge’s eyes, you are just daydreaming… One cannot achieve that unless he is a second-generation rich kid, who was born with everything.

Is there this kind of man?

Of course yes, but not many.

After they finish drinking, they just go back to their rooms, respectively.

“Gao Ge, I need to go out,” Tang Jiusi comes to knock on Gao Ge’s door and says.

Gao Ge sees two men standing in the yard, who happen to be the ones following behind them in the daytime.
