"You … You've really heard of the Black Cat Song Troupe? And … you actually gave it such a high evaluation! "
This time, it was Vicky's turn to be stunned. She looked at Meg in disbelief.
The Black Cat Song Troupe had always been her pride, and was also a work that she had worked hard for for a long time.
But rationally, before moving to Romo Street, the Black Cat Song Troupe had no reputation at all. Even now, when the market was gradually opening up, it was still a very small presence.
But Meg actually said that the Black Cat Song Troupe was the best opera troupe on the Norland Continent?!
She was touched by his praise! Excited! And a little shameful …
However, it was as if her most cherished thing, which had been questioned and mocked by others, had been praised and appreciated by someone. This feeling of meeting a soulmate made her like Meg even more.
"Yes, I've heard of it. Someone said that it's the future of opera on the Norland Continent. After seeing you, I think what he said makes sense." Meg nodded sincerely.
There were probably only two opera troupes on the Norland Continent now. Compared to that professional hypnosis opera troupe, the Black Cat Song Troupe's professionalism was indeed much better than its peers.
Vicky looked at Meg and was so touched that she almost wanted to marry him.
In her opinion, with Meg's status and identity, he didn't need to lie to her at all. Then, he must be telling the truth.
Ever since she started the Black Cat Song Troupe, she had encountered many difficulties, heard countless rumors and discouraging words, and suffered countless blows.
But at this moment, the person in front of her, the most powerful person on the Norland Continent, said that the Black Cat Song Troupe was the future of opera on the Norland Continent. She believed it.
"It's hard to find a soulmate. This toast is to you." Vicky raised her wine glass.
Meg raised his wine glass and clinked it with hers.
Vicky downed her wine rather generously.
Meg emptied his glass as well, and placed a few kebabs in front of Vicky. "Don't just drink, eat more kebabs …"
Before Meg could finish his sentence, Vicky was already lying on the table.
Meg: "…"
His mood was almost done brewing, and the wine was in place. He was just about to start getting information out of her, but she was already drunk?
Meg suddenly felt like he was being freeloaded.
Xi glanced at Vicky and then at the frozen Meg. The curl of her lips showed her mood, but she did not stop eating.
Meg sighed inwardly, but still went to get a blanket for Vicky.
As it turned out, some girls looked gullible on the surface, but in reality, they were not that gullible.
Of course, if you want to cheat other things, that's another story.
Meg filled Xi's glass with red wine, sat down again, and drank while eating kebabs.
He did not intend to persuade Xi. The alcohol content of this kind of boiled red wine was almost negligible, so it should be no different from drinking plain water to her.
If they really drank, he might be the one to lose.
"Why did you pretend not to know her?" Xi put down the bamboo skewer in her hand, looked at Meg, and asked, "Did you already know her identity when you helped her?"
Xi's eyes were sharp as she looked at Meg seriously.
"To be honest, before today, I thought you would bring a strong man over, so I specially prepared two boxes of Maotai." Meg smiled and glanced at Vicky who was lying on the table. "I helped her because I saw her talent. Moreover, helping her is also an investment. I paid her money because I thought she could give me a higher return. She has the ability. "
"Seems like a coincidence." Xi looked away. The lie detector told her that he was not lying.
"Maybe it's fate." Meg shrugged.
Xi picked up another kebab and said, "She also signed the confidentiality agreement. It's impossible for you to get information about the underground city from her."
"Is there a rule in your agreement that says you can't make friends with people from the Norland Continent?" Meg asked with a smile.
"Yes." Xi nodded.
Meg was speechless.
Meg knew that this was a rule set by the underground city to maintain its secrecy, but he still felt uncomfortable.
However, the underground city had greater power and more advanced technology, but it did not enslave the Norland Continent. This was already considered to be quite ethical.
After all, in sci-fi movies, there was often a master-servant relationship between the two worlds that had a huge difference in standards but were connected to each other.
Even an Earthling like him was impressed by the moral standards of the Ancients.
"Actually, I don't mean any harm. At least the underground city gives me a good impression. I don't want the various races of the Norland Continent to be impacted by the underground city." Meg looked at Xi and said calmly, "As an observer, you should know the living standards of the Norland Continent. It's not a good thing to let them know about the existence of another world, even if it's just a small number of people."
"I know you won't deliberately spread this news." Xi took a sip of wine. "That's why the underground city doesn't intend to do anything else to you."
"Is the existence of the Norland Continent a secret in the underground city?" Meg asked again.
"It's a secret belonging to a small number of people." Xi nodded.
Mag nodded thoughtfully. To the underground world, the Norland Continent was like a newbie's village. Although there would be some big bosses appearing occasionally, they were able to show off with their powerful technology.
However, it was not common for people in the underground city to cross the border. Even a young lady like Vicky had to smuggle herself into the Norland Continent. At one point, she was in such a pathetic state that she could not even afford to eat.
The upper echelons of the underground city must have some kind of tacit understanding or were restricted by some kind of clause in the Norland Continent's policies.
Although he was curious, Meg still restrained himself from the idea of connecting the two worlds.
It was an accident that Lantisde fell into the underground city, and he did not expect the underground city to accept them.
The tens of thousands of years of technological difference did not just bring about a generation gap. The Norland Continent might fall into disorderly chaos because of this.
In comparison, it was more practical to let the people of the Norland Continent sit on the Mercedes-Benz train, let them read colorful picture books, and watch a movie with food advertisements in the cinema during their free time.
The barbecue lasted for more than an hour. Meg finally fried a piece of steak for Xi to end the supper.
"The barbecue was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality," Xi said to Meg after wiping her mouth.
"You're welcome. Have you thought of another dish for free for life?" Meg asked with a smile.
Xi thought for a while and shook her head. "Let me think about it."
When she only had red braised pork, she thought it was the most delicious food in the world. Then, she had roast beef kebabs and mutton kebabs today, and thought they were equally delicious. The last dish, black pepper steak, was even more tender and delicious.
There were many more dishes on the menu. She thought it was a fertile land that was worth the time to slowly cultivate and savor before making a choice.
"She wants to continue freeloading!" Meg made a judgment.
