Chapter 112 - 102 Throwing a Brick to Attract Jade
Gao Yi wanted to invite Grasse to dinner, not knowing what to eat, what to drink, what to talk about, or what they could do together.
Still, according to the traditional customs of Chinese people, as long as you can get someone to come out and have a meal, even if it’s just to sit and chat, that basically meant things were set.
Fortunately, Grasse did come as invited, after all, he had received ten thousand dollars.
The restaurant had an Iraqi flavor and was part of the hotel. Gao Yi wasn’t picky and was quite happy with the meal, but Grasse only showed up just as they were about to finish.
Moreover, Grasse didn’t seem to want to eat anything; he just sat down across from Gao Yi.
"I’m here for the money," he said, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say, or I’ll leave." Grasse was in that kind of defiant stance.
Gao Yi lacked workplace experience, but he was good at reading people, and he could tell from Grasse’s demeanor.
Grasse was both proud and resentful.
His pride came from his strength, and his resentment stemmed from being unrecognized, being dissatisfied with spinning his wheels at the bottom despite his capabilities.
What should he say as an opening line?
