However, she patiently asked again, "Mr. Dongfang, may I know what matters bring you here?"
Yubao Square is not a private venue.
After all, it is an antique store.
The doors are open to welcome guests from all directions.
Gu Qiaoqiao would not speak inappropriately to turn Dongfang Yu away.
Moreover, this man, although not dangerous, was definitely no ordinary person.
And from the brief touch earlier, she had sensed that there was something off about him.
Such an icy temperature, could it really belong to a person?
Gu Qiaoqiao suppressed the shock in her heart, and very seriously and politely, she asked Dongfang Yu why he was there.
Dongfang Yu smiled and finally said, "You must know what I do, Miss Gu."
"Yes, I know, you research ancient cultures."
"Exactly, so I am really interested in many old things from the past. However, recently the research institute isn’t making ends meet, so I thought I’d look for a part-time job..." Dongfang Yu said with a hint of laughter in his voice.
Looking for a part-time job?
Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You mean you want to work here?"
"Smart." Dongfang Yu’s eyes shone with brightness as he smiled, "It’s refreshing to talk to someone intelligent."
Gu Qiaoqiao scrutinized Dongfang Yu with her piercing gaze.
Looking at Dongfang Yu’s attire, which reeked of a big landlord’s extravagance, and his daunting presence, Gu Qiaoqiao tugged at the corner of her mouth and blurted out unapologetically, "Mr. Dongfang, your fur coat alone is worth tens of thousands. Are you really saying you can’t afford meals?"
"Oh, this coat?" Dongfang Yu tugged at his sleeve, laughing, "It’s faux fur."
Gu Qiaoqiao almost spat out her tea.
The White Cat beside them turned its head in disdain,
indicating it was not in league with someone draped in faux fur.
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, wanting to say you think I can’t tell quality, that sable coat was sleek and glossy, obviously a genuine top-grade fur coat.
And, it was likely sable fur.
Sable fur was getting rarer these days.
Not just now, even in the past, a sable fur coat represented an irreplaceable status and luxury.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to talk too much with the person in front of her, so she seriously said, "But Yubao Square isn’t short of staff right now."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s refusal was very tactful.
"You’re not short of regular staff, but you certainly lack someone with talents like me," Dongfang Yu said with certainty.
"I’m sorry, but I can’t decide on this matter," Gu Qiaoqiao refused once more.
This man actually wanted to come here and work part-time, saying he had no ulterior motive, who would believe that?
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a twinge of wariness towards him.
Seeing the caution and vigilance in the little girl’s eyes, Dongfang Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.
He had originally just come here to see Gu Qiaoqiao.
To see how she would utilize her unique traits.
But now it seemed he might have found a clue.
As for whether he could work here part-time, he wasn’t particularly interested.
Used to wandering freely like clouds and wild cranes, how could he be under someone’s control here?
Yet, he couldn’t let this little girl underestimate him.
Think of him as a big scam artist.
Thus, he stood up and approached a Duobao Pavilion, pointing at a blue and white double-eared vase with a white base and said, "People always say that all Ge Kiln products are exquisite, but many don’t know that Ge Kiln also had distinctions between the north and south."
Gu Qiaoqiao also stood up.
