It was a place filled with a literary atmosphere. Most of the people who came in and out were university students, writers, and people with academic achievements in various fields.
The sensor doors of the building were pulled open from both sides. Su Ji was wearing a black baseball cap and a mask. Jiang Chu, who was also wearing a mask, was a step behind her. The two of them entered the library building one after another.
As for the location of the meeting, Zong Muticha let Su Ji choose, but Su Ji said it was up to him, so in the end, Jiang Chu chose it.
When he found out that she was the author, he decisively chose this book building for her, which was the most suitable place for writers to meet and talk.
Jiang Chu hadn’t had the time to read the novel, but he had heard of it.
He had never expected that the author was right beside him!
No wonder he could manipulate Zong Muticha like that.
The two of them arrived at the designated time. Half an hour ago, Zong Muticha sent a message saying that he had already arrived.
The few of them met at the cafe on the third floor of the library. That floor specialized in academic books, such as medicine, botany, food science. Therefore, compared to the other floors, this floor had the least amount of people and was the quietest.
Zong Muticha, who was sitting near the floor-to-ceiling window of the cafe, scanned his surroundings cautiously.
He wasn’t bragging, but there were many industry insiders who wanted to get close to him.
This time, his flight to China was strictly confidential, but there was no guarantee that no one would get wind of it.
The a.s.sistant came over with a few cups of coffee. “Boss, we’re here. I’ve already sent our location over. They should be here soon.”
When Zong Muticha heard this, his heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
He seemed to be more nervous than he had expected.
His a.s.sistant was more excited and did not notice his expression at all. He picked up a cup of coffee and said with a smitten look, “I really didn’t expect that the author was actually a girl, and…she’s also a very famous celebrity in China!”
On the plane, he had specially checked all of Su Ji’s information.
“No wonder those from our country who came here did not make it. The looks of the Chinese celebrities are too high now! Boss, Ms. Su Ji is really beautiful!” The a.s.sistant held her chin in excitement. “I really don’t understand why she didn’t reveal her ident.i.ty as a writer. With her looks and her popularity, if she did, she wouldn’t need any extra marketing to become a global best-selling author!”
Zong Muticha held the coffee cup in his hand and looked around. He stammered, “this depends on the Almighty’s personal wishes. We can’t interfere. To us, the most important thing is to successfully sign the contract with her. Don’t stray from our focus.”
“You’re right!” However, the a.s.sistant was still very optimistic. “But since Ms. Su Ji has agreed to meet with us, there should be no problem signing the contract, right? I’ve already checked. She has a good reputation on the Internet. Although many people say that she has a bad temper and holds grudges, she’s also a girl who can distinguish between love and hate and is very loyal. We’ve never offended her before. As long as we show enough sincerity later, I believe everything will go smoothly!”
He seemed to be consoling Zong Muticha, but the more he listened, the more he felt guilty. The small knives kept stabbing into his heart, almost turning him into a sieve.
A trip to Golden Town was expensive, so the a.s.sistant did not go with him that time. Naturally, he did not know how his boss had fought with Su Ji in the bathroom.
Zong Muticha interrupted his a.s.sistant’s chatter and pinched the coffee cup in frustration. The hard paper wall of the cup was deformed by his grip. “Alright, stop talking nonsense here. Hurry up and see why she’s not here yet!”
The a.s.sistant was stunned. “Yes!”
He immediately got up, but at the same time, the automatic sensor next to the cafe door rang.
The two of them looked up at the same time.
Su Ji took off her hat and pushed her hair back. Although she was still wearing a mask, the pair of eyes that were exposed was enough to make the a.s.sistant’s heart flutter.
Not only her, but the manager behind her was also tall and handsome. He looked like an artiste.
Zong Muticha stood up and his a.s.sistant quickly pulled out chairs for them.
The two groups finally met.
At the same time, Shen Mu, who had already checked the road conditions, turned off the GPS in advance. The man in the rearview mirror was looking out the window.
Shen Mu looked at the overly good-looking side profile and said respectfully, “Boss, there’s no traffic on the road now. We’ll reach the library building in ten minutes at most. I’ve already found out that the books you’re looking for are all on the third floor”
