"I'll say this first, I might not be able to help you," Lu Chao spoke again.
"It's fine. Even if we can't work together, it's good to know you," Chu Ning replied with a smile.
"No, no, no, it's not good to know an unlucky person like me. I was already thinking of how to end my terrible life. I really deserve to die... I want to smoke. Can I buy a pack here?" Lu Chao wanted to smoke again.
"Sure. Sir, please get me a pack of cigarettes and a lighter," Chu Ning said to the front desk.
"Can you tell me about your experience?" Chu Ning asked tentatively.
"You want to buy my story for a meal? You've come to look for me, did you encounter a software-related problem? Your brother is a genius, but he's not interested in software development," Lu Chao said casually.
"If you're willing to tell me, I want to listen. I want you to be in your best condition before we work together," Chu Ning said seriously.
