Gu Yuan is definitely not the kind of person who abuses his power.
If it were in the past, he would definitely reject Su Xiaotang's proposal without even thinking about it.
But this time, Gu Yuan had some different ideas.
But in front of Su Xiaotang, Gu Yuan's attitude was still very determined.
"Boss Su, you really have found the wrong person. Of course I will not agree to such a request. Moreover, you should understand that this is not something I can decide." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
His refusal did not surprise Su Xiaotang.
Before he came, he was already prepared to be rejected by Gu Yuan. After all, this was not the first time he had dealt with Gu Yuan. What he really valued was Gu Yuan's attitude when he rejected him, and whether there was still some improvement.
From Su Xiaotang's point of view, Gu Yuan's current attitude does not seem to be that tough, and Gu Yuan actually understands that he can feel this.
You know I will know, and I know you know I will know...
Although it's a mouthful, that's probably what it means.
"Gu Zhijian, we are all old acquaintances. You have to help me think of a way." Su Xiaotang said quickly, "You have already seen the current situation in Tiangong, and you will soon be unable to open the pot..."
Gu Yuan felt funny in his heart.
Su Xiaotang really dares to say anything!
Tiangong is indeed in some trouble now, but this is nothing to Su Xiaotang. He just thinks that the market is good now and wants to make more money.
Of course Gu Yuan didn't want to help the other party make money, but the current situation in Tiangong was not a good thing for the Demon Suppression Department and the Demon Slayer Department.
"Oh, Boss Su, you are making things too difficult for me. Even if we are acquaintances, this is not something I can help with. Otherwise, my position as the sword holder will be gone." After Gu Yuan said this, Leaning on the chair, "Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
He smacked his lips three times, louder each time.
Su Xiaotang's face darkened.
Gu Yuan's current reaction was almost like "I have conditions" written on his face.
Just when he was about to ask, Gu Yuan suddenly said: "Well, Boss Su, you go back and think of a solution. This matter is indeed not something I can decide, so we won't discuss it for now."
Su Xiaotang was a little surprised, and for a while she couldn't understand Gu Yuan's mind.
In the following chat, Su Xiaotang wanted to bring the topic back several times, but Gu Yuan calmly pushed it away. In the end, Su Xiaotang had no choice but to be sent away by Pang Ying.
After sending Su Xiaotang away, Pang Ying and Cui Yingxiong returned to the office together.
They already understood Su Xiaotang's intention, and they both breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Gu Yuan did not agree.
"This Su Xiaotang really dares to think! They don't have enough people in the Heavenly Palace, so they actually set their sights on us, and they still expect you, the Star City Swordsman, to stand up for him and recruit people from the Star City Martial Arts Academy? Tsk? , this is really crazy about making money!" Cui Yingxiong sat on the chair where Su Xiaotang was sitting just now, his tone was full of ridicule.
He is different from Gu Yuan.
At any rate, Gu Yuan would not impose his own ideas on others, but Cui Yingxiong was old and a bit old-fashioned, so he looked down on Su Xiaotang, and also had no good impression of the entire Tiangong.
Of course, Cui Yingxiong didn't feel that his idea was necessarily right. After all, it made sense that Tiangong could always exist.
Pang Ying is not like Cui Yingxiong, and she also has a general understanding of Gu Yuan's character.
If the other party really didn't want to consider it, Su Xiaotang wouldn't stay in this office for so long.
She also heard the conversation between the two. Although Gu Yuan refused all the time, she always felt that it was like a door. Although it was closed, it seemed that a little light could be seen through the crack of the door.
"Sir... Gu, you don't really want to agree, do you?" Pang Ying said suddenly.
"Huh?" Cui Yingxiong immediately opened his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face, "Yingying, what are you talking about? Gu Yuan is not out of his mind, how can he really stand up for him?"
Gu Yuan looked at Pang Ying and Cui Yingxiong in front of him, both of whom couldn't understand his words.
This made Gu Yuan feel a little nostalgic. If he faced Li Siming at this time, he wouldn't even need to say anything more, the other party would understand him immediately.
Of course, if Li Siming is really here, he doesn't even need to bring it up.
He pondered for a moment and said: "It is actually a good choice for students from Star City Martial Arts Academy to join Tiangong. For example, people like Cao Chao are obviously not suitable for the Demon Suppression Department and Demon Slayer Department, but Tiangong is different. Anyway, Even if they are paid to do things for others, they don’t need to be responsible to anyone but themselves, and our people don’t need to take many risks.”
After hearing what Gu Yuan said, Cui Yingxiong and Pang Ying already understood.
The expressions on their faces were not as difficult to understand as before.
"Besides, if Tiangong really closes down, it won't be a good thing for us." Gu Yuan continued.
Cui Yingxiong frowned and said, "Why, we still have to worry about whether the people in Tiangong can make money?"
This time there was no need for Gu Yuan to speak. Pang Ying said first: "Cui Xingjun, actually I think what Mr. Gu said makes sense. Whether Tiangong makes money or not has nothing to do with us. But no matter what, the people in Tiangong are dealing with demons. Yes, it can be considered as helping us."
Cui Yingxiong was not stubborn. Hearing what they said, he already understood a little bit, but he was puzzled: "Since you have already figured it out, why didn't you agree before?"
Pang Ying glanced at the meaningful smile on Gu Yuan's face and said, "I'm afraid it's true that Mr. Gu feels that Boss Su is not sincere."
Gu Yuan immediately gave Pang Ying a thumbs up.
Although Pang Ying and Cui Yingxiong were both incomprehensible to their previous attitude, the other party responded quickly. After listening to a few of his explanations, he was completely on his side and could still understand him. true intention.
"I'm afraid, Boss Su really feels like he's been rejected." Pang Ying continued.
"Then you underestimate him too much." Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "Su Xiaotang will not give up so easily. Moreover, he can understand what I mean. Just wait until he comes next time."
Seeing Gu Yuan's confident look, Pang Ying and Cui Yingxiong didn't say anything.
Anyway, Gu Yuan has always been a person with ideas, so they don't need to worry about him.
Just as Gu Yuan thought.
After coming out of the sword bearer's office, Su Xiaotang was still thinking carefully about what Gu Yuan had said before. The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She simply didn't rush back and directly booked a hotel in Star City to stay temporarily.
"I still have to grind it out with him slowly..."
