Gu Ruilong deliberately emphasized the words "top-tier genius." Though he didn't say it outright, Li Chang'an could still detect a veiled threat in his tone.
Instantly, Li Chang'an's impression of the man plummeted.
But not wanting to make an enemy for no reason, Li Chang'an politely explained, "Young Master Gu, you flatter me. The offer you've made is naturally excellent, but I've grown up in Linjiang and am used to it here. I have no plans to move elsewhere to develop my career."
Hearing his reply, Gu Ruilong's eyes narrowed.
He toyed with the Jade Ring on his finger, silent for a long moment, before suddenly standing up. "Very well. It seems I'll be leaving empty-handed today. If you have a change of heart after a while, you can still give me a call. I've always had a soft spot for recruiting talented people and showing them respect."
After saying this, Gu Ruilong gave Li Chang'an a deep, meaningful look, then pushed the door open and walked straight out without lingering.
