Chapter 219: Old Man, It Turns Out He Has a System
The old man still smiled.
The housekeeper came in from outside at this time.
Holding a red iron box in his hand.
The box was completely bare, without even a logo.
The butler carefully placed the box on the table and whispered a few words into Gu Cun's ear.
Gu Cun waved his hand, signaling him to go out first.
Su Meng didn't even raise her eyelids. What happened between them was not something she could interfere with.
The best way is to minimize your own presence.
Appear again when the old man needs you.
"Miss Su, this is the black tea that a junior gave me some time ago. Take it back and try it."
The old man pushed the box towards Su Meng.
Su Meng hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you."
“This tastes pretty good, it’s produced in his tea garden, and most people can’t buy it.
Go back and try it, and if you like it, tell me directly."
Gu Cun watched her open the box and leaned in to smell it.
Watching her frown.
The smell of strong tea rushed directly into Su Meng's nostrils.
She immediately frowned and looked at the old chief with some confusion.
"Mr. Gu, this tea...
For me, it might be a little too strong.
I’m not sure if I can drink it.”
“He roasted this tea himself, and it does smell strong.
So you have to learn to make tea.
The so-called brewing tea requires one to be in harmony with one’s mind and spirit, so that one can be calm and peaceful.”
The more Su Meng listened, the more she felt that the old man had something else to say.
It's clear that the two of them had never met before.
Even if it's just asking for help to take a photo of a ring.
There is no need to go to such an extent.
Thinking of this, Su Meng picked up the teapot and stood up to pour tea for him.
"Mr. Gu, if you have something to say, just speak up.
For me, a straight ball is more suitable.
I can also confirm whether I have the honor to help you."
as predicted.
As soon as the words came out, the old man burst into laughter.
He picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea that Su Meng poured for him.
“You are really smart, girl.
As an old man, I don’t like to pry into other people’s privacy.
But I have a strange sense of familiarity with you.
When I saw you, for some reason, I suddenly remembered my youth.
So similar. "
As Gu Cun spoke, he sighed secretly.
The words were light, but they were like a huge hammer, hitting Su Meng's heart.
She immediately became wary.
He stared at the old man opposite with burning eyes.
My mind raced, trying to analyze something useful from what he said.
Gu Cun sighed: “When I was young, I was not in this city.
But it was only later that I took root in this city.
An unknown person who rises overnight is bound to attract the attention of many people.
What do you think? "
Su Meng frowned: "What does Mr. Gu mean by this?"
Seeing her serious face, Gu Cun laughed and waved his hands: "It's nothing, I just remembered something from the past.
If I guessed correctly.
Our life trajectories will be very similar.
You don't need to be nervous. I guess you are in urgent need of a backer.
It would be inconvenient to do anything as an ordinary person."
Hearing this, Su Meng's body stiffened.
She gathered the silk scarf around her shoulders and lowered her eyes to think about how to respond.
This old man is so weird!
It seems like he can see through people's hearts.
Especially her identity, which had already been exposed in front of him.
But Su Meng couldn't understand what he meant by saying these words.
Why he knew he urgently needed a backer.
Su Meng had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but he remained absolutely calm on his face.
This is thanks to the blessing of the "acting queen's acting skills".
After a long while, she raised her hand, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Mr. Gu, I know my identity, it is not a secret to you.
But I didn't influence anyone.
We can be said to be keeping our distance from each other.
You don’t have to pick on me.”
Hearing this, Gu Cun was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.
He raised his hand and pointed at Su Meng: "Little girl, you are not necessarily smart.
There are many things that cannot be said openly.
I don't need to say more about this.
Talking too much will do you no good but only harm."
His thoughtful look made Su Meng wake up instantly.
She suddenly thought of the rules that were originally set by the system.
[This system cannot be known to anyone]
Could it be!
She stood up suddenly, looking at the old man sitting opposite her who was slowly picking up the teacup with shock in his eyes.
"system!!"
【Host, I am here】
"This old man, does he know that I have a system?"
Su Meng was horrified.
If that were the case, she would be doomed.
[The system has not received any feedback yet]
The system's answer made Su Meng feel a little relieved.
But she was still a little scared.
"I think this old man is not simple. Do you have any brother and sister system on others?"
【…】
Su Meng's question simply silenced the system.
She didn't get the answer she wanted, but suddenly thought of another possibility.
"I understand!"
"Even if someone knows I have a system, as long as they don't tell me explicitly, the system rules can't be discovered."
After analyzing it this way, she found that there was indeed some truth in it.
A few days ago, Qian Duoming was clearly suspicious of her from the very beginning.
But in the end, there was no notification from the system.
That incident just passed like that.
In addition, the system did not detect the old man's obvious and subtle reminder.
This shows that the system also left her a little bit of space.
That's very nice.
The old man opposite was obviously already accustomed to her excitement.
He just sat there quietly.
Give Su Meng some time to digest what he just said.
Su Meng coughed lightly and sat down directly without feeling embarrassed at all.
"System, I want to see Gu Cun's information."
[The system does have basic information about Gu Cun, which can be exchanged for 20 days of life.]
"Change! Hurry!"
Su Meng didn't hesitate at all.
At this critical moment, if you hesitate for a second, you may lose!
It’s just 20 days of life!
She just gave it to him!
[OK host, life has been deducted]
[Basic information of Gucun has been found, please check it yourself]
【Ancient data】
Born in a small village in the western mountains.
He was the first college student to walk out of the mountains within a ten-mile radius.
He worked and studied and graduated from Kyoto University.
He fell ill at the age of 24 and was once on the verge of death.
He later gave up his job, sought medical treatment everywhere, and eventually recovered.
After that, he continued to thrive and in five years, became a wealthy man.
Su Meng frowned.
Not buddy!
This life experience seems a little familiar.
No, not sure, let’s see.
She said suspiciously in her heart: "Are you sure, this is the personal information of the ancient leader?"
【Yes host】
【Since Gucun established the Guwan Foundation 40 years ago, it has enabled hundreds of thousands of children in mountainous areas to go to school】
At this moment, Su Meng really wanted to call the police.
What she wanted was other information about ancient relics.
For example: weak spot.
The system was so good that it directly gave him a wave of free publicity.
“Is this information authentic?”
[Yes, all the information in the current system is true]
Got it!
Su Meng was completely speechless now.
She had to re-examine the old man sitting opposite her.
If my guess is correct, he also has secrets like her.
As for what it was, Su Meng naturally couldn't say it.
"Ms. Su, I know that you and I are definitely the same kind of people.
Over the years, I have been trying to find someone to inherit my legacy.
I believe.
The world is full of surprises.
There must be people who are on the same path as me.
Until I saw your profile.
I immediately confirmed that you are the person I am looking for."
Although ancient still has the original character setting.
But the slightly twitching corners of his mouth still betrayed his inner excitement.
Su Meng sat there in a daze, listening to him continue, "In my life, I have never had any family other than my parents.
I know you have a very good friend—"
The words are not finished yet.
Two big words suddenly appeared on the light screen in front of Su Meng.
【warn! 】
Su Meng panicked instantly.
She interrupted the old man hastily: "I know what you want to say.
But some things don't need to be said at all.
I can see what you mean.
You guessed it right, we might be on the same path.”
Rather than being exposed, Su Meng chose to indirectly self-destruct.
Sure enough, the words "Warning" on the light screen slowly disappeared.
She also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, Su Meng probably also figured out the bottom line of the system rules.
Gu Cun nodded: "Some things really shouldn't be said.
Time has passed so long that in the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed.
I had left it a long time ago.
Over the years, we have just been getting along normally.”
It's obvious who it is.
Su Meng just smiled and didn't respond.
At this moment, she really didn't know what to say.
"Su Meng, can I call you that?"
"of course."
"Gu Wan is my life's work, I need to find a successor."
"You mean, me?"
Su Meng just felt that this world was too crazy.
It was just the first time they met, and it was so... exaggerated? ?
Gu Cun nodded: "You are the best candidate."
