Chapter 25 Hotel Aventure
Ling Shan felt a little jealous when she heard that Qian Xiaoxing had become the patriarch of Yimu clan. She had known Qian Xiaoxing for a long time, but she could not be his woman. So she asked, "Then Princess Fang Ying, oh, how about Princess Si Yingying and you?"
"Yingying, she refused to marry Lin Guo, so I had no choice but to accept it." Qian Xiaoxing pretended to be innocent and smiled.
Ling Shan said angrily: "When I am not here, you have taken so many women, I won't forgive you."
"Shan'er, don't worry, I'll take you away." Qian Xiaoxing then said to Ling Yi: "Brother Ling, my Qian Group has many products. Although there are some sales channels at present, it is not big. I want to cooperate with your Ling Group to sell together?"
"Of course, I also said where the strange things in Lin Country came from. It turned out that they were produced by your Qian Group. In the future, we will cooperate to keep you in short supply." Ling Yi replied confidently.
At present, there are not many branches in Qian's Group, mainly within Lin State, and there are also Hu and Shi State capitals each opened. So if we can cooperate with Ling Yi, Qian's Group's products can be entered into Hu and Shi State, and the trade volume will increase several times.
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "This time I came to Shiguo, one was to propose marriage, and the other was to form an alliance with Shiguo. In the future, we will also have external assistance to deal with Hu, our Siguo. Brother Ling, please tell me about the Emperor of the Great Shiguo."
In order to successfully form an alliance with Dashi Kingdom, Qian Xiaoxing must understand the temper and hobbies of the emperor of Dashi Kingdom and to meet his preferences in order to have a chance to succeed.
Ling Yi replied: "The Emperor of Dashi Kingdom is currently thirty years old and has a bad temper. Unlike ordinary emperors, he does not like women and prefers fighting wars. He is an ambitious emperor. I am not afraid to tell you that Dashi Kingdom has been raising energy in recent years. Once there is a chance, Lin and Hu are both the targets of Dashi Kingdom."
After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing thought about it. It is rare for emperors who don’t like women. However, he doesn’t have any beauty to spare his energy. He was a little worried when he heard that his temper was irritable. Sometimes it is useless to reason with such people. However, this emperor wanted to expand his territory, which was a key point to talk about alliances. Let the elimination of Hu become the common goal of both sides. This way, an alliance is very hopeful.
The three of them reunited a year later, so naturally they had endless things to say. It gradually became dark. Qian Xiaoxing touched his croaking stomach and said embarrassedly: "Brother Ling, what, is it easy to have a meal?"
Ling Yi patted his forehead and said, "Look at me, I forgot that it's time to talk to you, so I'll tell the servants to have dinner."
After a while, the three of them sat around the table and started eating. Ling Yi smiled and said, "Now, three are missing one, I haven't played mahjong for a long time. I miss it so much."
Qian Xiaoxing also recalled the happy days of Shandu and sighed: "I really don't know, my life is better now or the life I used to be."
Ling Yi said: "Of course it's good now. You want money and soldiers now, are you not feeling well?"
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "I get more, I pay more, and I also have great pressure. Back then, we were able to play mahjong happily together, but now, I am busy running around and I have to worry about the safety of Si Guo. I shoulder the lives of more than 100,000 people in Si Guo, and I cannot tolerate any mistakes. I feel pressured."
Ling Yi was speechless after hearing this. Indeed, the definition of happiness is very difficult. It is not that wealthy and powerful people will definitely get happiness. They had to change the topic and said: "Brother Qian, do you still remember the air conditioners, tricycles, and diamond jewelry you made at the beginning? I promised to share these items for you. I will keep this money for you to get it."
Qian Xiaoxing remembered that Si Guo was in need of money at the moment, and did not be polite to Ling Yi, and asked, "Brother Ling, you just don't treat me badly. How many are there?"
"It's more than 30,000 taels." Ling Yi replied.
Qian Xiaoxing replied in surprise: "So much. In order to raise soldiers for Si Guo, I was almost stumped to make money. If I had known it, I would have come here to ask you for money."
Ling Yi laughed and said, "I'm afraid you won't come, so I'm looking forward to you coming every day."
After the three of them had their meal, Qian Xiaoxing was thinking about his guard company. Although Ling Yi tried his best to keep him, he was still ready to leave. Ling Yi said helplessly: "Then Brother Qian must come tomorrow."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Of course I will come. There is still a woman here, waiting for me to propose marriage."
After Qian Xiaoxing left, Ling Shan asked Ling Yi worriedly: "Brother, do you think my father will agree to the marriage?"
Ling Yi said confidently: "Although the shop that Brother Qian runs is not large in size, at least he has taken advantage of it. If there is no accident, his father should be able to agree."
After hearing this, Ling Shan was secretly happy and lowered her head and ran away quickly.
But Qian Xiaoxing walked out the door and saw Xiong Yitan waiting outside the door. Qian Xiaoxing asked in confusion: "Yitan, why are you here?"
Xiong Yitan replied: "I am the chief of staff's guard, and of course I have to be responsible for the chief of staff's safety."
"Have you eaten?" Qian Xiaoxing asked, and when he saw Xiong Yitan shook his head, he couldn't bear it, so he said, "Okay, let's call me brothers, I'll treat you, let's go to the highest-end hotel in Yidu for a meal."
Xiong Yitan nodded excitedly. It seemed that he had not waited for Qian Xiaoxing in vain. Thinking of being able to drink good wine again, he began to itch in his heart and immediately said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."
Although Qian Xiaoxing is not rich, he is still very rich. He just learned that Ling Yi can get more than 30,000 taels of silver, so he should celebrate. Besides, these brothers from the guard company have worked hard all the way with him, so it is time to reward him.
Although it was dark, Yidu City was still very lively. In a short while, all twenty-five guards and soldiers arrived. Everyone gathered at the "Hongyun Tower", the highest-end restaurant in Yidu. Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and led everyone in.
Although dinner time has passed, the store is still brightly lit and crowded. Qian Xiaoxing came to the counter and ordered two private rooms with the boss. He heard the boss arrange it for the second floor and asked, "Is there any private rooms on the third floor?"
The boss shook his head and said, "The guest is from another place. On the 10th, 20th and 30th of the month, the third floor of our store will be booked and will not be given to others. In the past three days, the store will also increase the price by 50%. Do you still need to make a purchase?"
"How much does it cost today for two private rooms?" Qian Xiaoxing asked tentatively.
The boss stretched out three fingers and said, "Thirty taels."
Qian Xiaoxing calculated that thirty taels were equivalent to 15,000 yuan. Although he thought it was expensive, his brothers had already arrived and could not let them go back. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, give me enough food."
Qian Xiaoxing asked Xiong Yitan to lead everyone to the second floor private room, and asked the boss in confusion: "Who has booked the third floor private room?"
The boss replied: "You will know this later."
Seeing the boss' mysterious appearance, Qian Xiaoxing became even more curious, but since the boss said that, he suppressed his curiosity and slowly walked towards the second floor.
Qian Xiaoxing looked around along the way and saw that many people in the hotel had already eaten their meals, but they just sat there to drink tea, as if they were waiting for something. These plots made Qian Xiaoxing very puzzled. Could it be that the person who was waiting to take the third floor?
While thinking, I heard the people on the table discussing. Qian Xiaoxing saw that the conversation was full of square scarves and some bachelor's faces. One of them was tall, thin, and short, and fat.
The tall man said, "Why has Miss Nightingale not appeared yet?"
The short man smiled and said, "Brother, why are you so anxious? Even if Miss Nightingale comes, you can't answer Miss Nightingale's questions, it's just a waste of time."
The tall man was speechless for a moment and replied, "I can't answer, you are not the same."
The short man sighed, "I heard that Miss Nightingale is beautiful and has a great appearance. If I could meet each other, I would be satisfied."
The tall man agreed, "You are right about this. If I could meet and let me live for three years less, I would rather."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Qian Xiaoxing immediately realized that the person who booked the third floor was actually a beautiful woman. She seemed to have to ask questions to test everyone. Qian Xiaoxing liked the most to solve the problem, and was very interested in hearing this. However, the time has not come, so she came to the private room booked on the second floor and sat down, and started eating and drinking with the soldiers of the guard company.
Qian Xiaoxing had supper in Ling Mansion. When he saw the table full of delicacies, he couldn't eat them. He had to pick up the wine glass and take a few sips. He could only drink the wine.
Qian Xiaoxing stretched his head and looked out from time to time, waiting for Miss Nightingale. The drinkers said so mysteriously that Qian Xiaoxing was curious and wanted to find out.
"Miss Nightingale is here!" Someone suddenly shouted outside. Qian Xiaoxing hurried to the door of the box and looked out. He saw a woman downstairs wearing a red summer dress, thin and soft fabric tightly wrapped her whole body. Her slender waist and the lines of her chest were clear, and she was wearing a red long skirt on the lower side. She walked slowly with her lotus steps.
But she wore a hat on her head, and the edge of the hat was covered with white gauze, and she could not see her appearance. Behind her were two burly men, dressed in blue clothes, inspecting the surrounding situation with a serious face, and her clenched fists were ready to attack at any time.
Nightingale lifted her long skirt and climbed up the stairs. After a while, she arrived at the third floor. Qian Xiaoxing looked at her slim body without turning around. Not only did she smack her lips, she said to herself: "This figure is comparable to Si Yingying, which is great."
Hu Suoyuan also came out at some point and sighed: "This girl is definitely a place, I can see it."
While he was talking, he heard someone on the third floor screaming, and saw someone rolling down the stairs screaming. Nightingale walked to the entrance of the stairs and said to the people outside: "I hope no one will hide on the third floor and peek next time, otherwise the outcome will be worse than him!"
