Chapter 227: Acquaintances Meeting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Shi Xiao walked around the exhibit and examined it from beginning to end carefully, he was filled with interest in this work and memorized the author’s name, Mo Shu.

Shi Xiao whispered to Zhao Mian, who was beside him, “Go and check if this author is attending the exhibition today. Tell him that we’re very interested in his work and want to talk to him in person.”

Zhao Mian nodded in agreement and went to the organizer to ask about this author’s situation and contact information.

As soon as Zhao Mian left, Shi Xiao saw Li Ci and Li Ran standing not far away. The two of them were dressed very casually today. They were wearing a loose white t-shirt and straight-leg jeans. They were wearing the same white canvas shoes, so they looked very youthful and energetic.

In order to appear more formal, Li Ci wore a jacket over his white t-shirt. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small portion of his arm.

This was a set of clothes that Li Ran had spent the entire morning protesting before getting Li Ci to change into.

Initially, Li Ci had planned to continue wearing a suit, bow tie, and leather shoes, but Li Ran objected strongly. “Uncle, you’re going to a technology exhibition, not a company recruitment fair! Don’t dress so formally. It will affect people’s mood at the exhibition! Think about it. Those who attend the exhibition must be young people, so you should dress younger so that you can blend in with everyone.”

Li Ci sized Li Ran up and saw that she was also wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans. Indeed, when it came to fashion, young girls were more trustworthy.

Although Li Ci was only a few years older than Li Ran, Li Ci felt that he was already very old and could no longer keep up with Li Ran’s train of thought.

When Shi Xiao saw the two of them, the other party also saw him. The three of them looked at each other and smiled before walking closer to each other.

Li Ci was the first to speak. “You’ve been so busy recently that you didn’t even ask me out. 1 didn’t expect to see you at this exhibition.”

Shi Xiao also joked, “1 didn’t expect you to be interested in a technology exhibition.”

The two of them smiled at each other and stopped talking about this topic. However, they knew each other’s goal. Since everyone had the same goal, there was no need to expose it at this moment and cause unnecessary awkwardness.

This was basically the last exhibit at the exhibition. The two of them had already seen all the participating works. Although they knew very little about electronics, they could not help but discuss and express their opinions.

When Li Ran heard how they were discussing so seriously, she felt that their topic was very boring. Hence, she told her uncle and went elsewhere to continue watching the exhibition.

After Li Ci and Shi Xiao chatted for a while, they finally started focusing on this tall building and began to express their opinions as well. A moment later, the two of them suddenly fell silent at the same time. Then, they smiled at each other, since they understood each other’s intentions. They both wanted to recruit this author.

Li Ci said with a smile, “Haha, then let’s rely on our own abilities. Let’s see who sets the conditions that will attract this person more…”

“Mo Shu.” Li Ci could not remember the author’s name, so as he spoke, he paused. Shi Xiao reminded him.

Sometimes, it had to be said that the relationship between the two of them was like that of old acquaintances. They could always understand each other’s intentions from each other’s actions, but the suspicion between the two of them was like that of enemies for many years. They were clearly working together, but neither of them dared to trust each other sincerely. They were careful to guard against this enemy who was extremely familiar with them.

This was probably the most sorrowful aspect of the relationship between the two of them. They were clearly confidants who trusted each other and people who truly understood each other, but they were also one of the few true enemies who could pose a threat to each other.

They could smile at each other, toast each other, and share their feelings, but they could not let their guard down..
