Chapter 237: An Unexpected Self-Proposer
But at the same time that Su Mu and the four of them were deep in thought, a manager who was recommended by Adrian to take care of daily affairs gently knocked on the door of the top office.
As the figure of knocking on the wooden door sounded three times, this person respectfully pushed the door and walked in.
And when he entered the office, the first sentence he said neatly immediately made Su Mu and the others very interested:
"Someone claims to be a co-enrolled student of the thirteen seats in the academy, and claims that although he has not reached the level of Chinese characters, he will definitely be able to solve the problems in front of you. So his request was that he also join the Mystical Society and gain free access to all kinds of magic books. ”
For such a strange proposal from this person, not to mention that the other three people were extremely surprised.
Even Lu Xi, who should know this person, tried his best to search for and think of names one by one, but he didn't seem to be able to remember such an existence.
However, for such a situation, Su Mu's decisiveness is good:
"Then we will ask him to come over and talk about it, and we will also want to know if the problem he can solve for us is the most pressing problem for us. ”
As Su Mu clearly sent out the invitation, a young man who looked to be about twenty-four or five years old also went to the office under the leadership of the manager.
The office specially left for Su Mu and others in the mystery meeting also had the function of being a reception room.
Under the bright windows, there is already a neat set of comfortable sofas and several desks.
However, what is extremely strange is that he walked into the office freely, and walked to the sofa and sat down without shyness, and even poured himself a cup of tea.
Lu Xi, who was enrolled in the same batch as him, still didn't remember who this guy was.
So much so that when the other party did not introduce himself, Lu Xi could only take the initiative to ask the most basic question in deep confusion:
"Excuse me...... Who the hell are you?"
......
For a person who reported his origin but was still not recognized, Lu Xi's question seemed to inevitably make the other party extremely embarrassed.
Therefore, while Lu Xi said this, he also carefully adjusted the emotions in his words.
But Lu Xi's actions were undoubtedly her own thinking too much.
When Lu Xi's voice fell, the other party still did not feel the slightest shame, but said in a natural tone, without care:
"You're a student of the dean's own legacy, and I'm the one who was expelled from the academy halfway, and you certainly don't remember a character like me. ”
As the other party spoke, he also took out something similar to a business card from his arms.
Then he handed the card to Lu Xi with great seriousness, and said at the same time:
"Contemptible Stanley, the founder, editor-in-chief, reporter, and informant of the Stanley Express, is also a spellcaster who was admitted to the Academy of Magic, and ......"
When Stanley finally took out this "business card", he also revealed his name and profession little by little.
Before he could finish speaking, Avina had already lost her voice and said in surprise:
"You are the so-called cancer of the industry...... the rogue founder of the "Stanley Express", known as the most poisonous tongue in the Federation?"
But Stanley, as if hearing not a mockery at all, but some kind of heartfelt compliment, did not hesitate to admit the names.
And all of them were pleasant, and continued to add:
"In addition to the inductive name of the cancer of the industry, they actually called me a scumbag, a shameless Stanley, an industry saboteur, a despicable gimmick businessman, and so on, and so ......on, and so on."
"If there is one journal with the worst reputation in the whole federation, it is probably the Stanley Express, which I have just been forced to rename. ”
......
In the face of Stanley's completely unashamed boasting, not to mention that Avina who was in the same company almost wanted to scold, even Lu Xi and Su Tong were amazed at his face.
Only Su Mu, who is particularly familiar with this "shameless", finally noticed some strangeness in it:
An extremely niche journal has attracted not only a cold reception from outside the industry, but also from rejection and abuse within the industry.
This probably does not represent the incompetence of this journal, but rather shows that this journal has an amazing declarative power and the content is beyond imagination.
In other words, the Stanley Express sold far more than expected, and even failed to sell well because of the lack of printing capacity. And the reason why you are excluded by the industry is not because the content of the newspaper is not exciting enough, but only because you have 'crossed the line' at every turn. ”
As Su Mu's words sounded, Stanley, who was still looking for recognition, finally focused his eyes on Su Mu's face.
It was a look that seemed extremely keen, but in fact it was extremely treacherous.
At the same time, it is also a kind of indifferent tearing the convention, the kind of eyes that belong to smart people.
There is no doubt that when Su Mu's words fell, Stanley finally found the true meaning of his coming.
What he was trying to find was a boss as sharp as Su Mu.
And not long after Su Mu's words fell, Avina didn't have time to refute the "fallacy" in Su Mu's mouth, but Su Mu had already said again without stopping:
"But I still need you to prove that you understand our predicament. If you can't prove it right away, you know exactly and can solve it. So, even if you're a wizard looking for another way, there's no reason for me to want you to join the Mystery Society. ”
"After all, the mystery of the future will ...... Probably the great temptation you really covet!"
......
Su Mu saw through his true purpose at a glance, and Stanley did not show the slightest panic, but said slowly with more and more determination and confidence:
"First of all, your greatest dilemma at the moment is that even though you have allowed the Mysteries to stand at the crossroads of the clouds, this is only a temporary part of your respective reputations. After all, it would take three years for the federal government to take over the Esoteric Society, and it would inevitably cost a lot of money just to keep the Esoteric Society running for the first three years. ”
"So your first difficulty is actually that you, who seem to be extremely noble, are even younger than me...... There is also a shortage of money. ”
After Stanley said this, he had already ignored Lu Xi, who had the highest status on the surface.
Instead, he stared at Su Mu's eyes more and more sharply, and then said again:
"Secondly, although all of you here are dragons and phoenixes among people, in terms of influence on the world, it is not comparable to people like me. But your real problem is that you have never cared about strength and power, but never about money that is not so important to you. ”
"So, at the end of the day, you don't actually make any money, and you never even think about how to make money. What you need most now is someone who not only knows how to make money, but at the same time absolutely cannot covet the power in your hands. Because only such a person can serve you without bringing you the slightest threat. ”
"So...... Am I, who have a great deal of infamy and always make some surprises, the kind of person you really need?"
