After finishing the call, Li Qingge looked at her two friends and asked them a question.
"Ah."
Jinguji Tamamo and Rose both nodded. They were going together. Although Rose's family was better off than Jinguji Tamamo's and she could help consume all the gold by herself, Jinguji Tamamo had experience from dealing with Li Chaoge many times, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to help consume a portion of it.
"Hey, what about us? Didn't you say you were going to take us on a trip to Japan?"
Seeing that Qingge didn't mention the others at all, a girl with dazzling long golden hair and a white shirt that was stretched taut across from Qingge's table suddenly widened her eyes.
Sitting on either side of the blonde girl were the purple-haired twin-tailed loli Katya and the short-haired cool girl Mo tide, who were also looking at Qing Ge and Rose Shrine Maiden Tamamo.
Small cliques are no good! A dorm room with six people can't afford to split up!
"Bella, you guys go back to the dorm first. I forgot to tell my brother that you're coming with us too."
Li Qingge smiled somewhat shyly at the blonde girl Isabella. Although she didn't say she wouldn't bring Isabella, considering what they had to talk about with her brother, she decided not to bring Isabella along.
"But Bella, don't worry, I'll talk to my brother about the trip, so you don't need to worry."
"Alright then, if Qingge, your brother doesn't agree, then forget it. I'll save up enough money for a graduation trip after I graduate!"
Isabella was somewhat curious about Qingge's true identity, but she was more interested in the free neon tour.
She really enjoys traveling, but having come from an orphanage in Detroit, she only got to study here because of a recommendation, and she doesn't have much money to travel.
Of course, it would be good if Qingge's brother covered their food, accommodation, and airfare so they could travel and have fun together and save money, but she wouldn't insist if it didn't save money.
"Can we just take a look from afar? We don't want to hear what you're talking about, we just want to see what your brother looks like."
Seeing that Isabella decided not to go after Qingge's words, Mo tide, whose short hair was a little messy, continued to ask with a smile.
She wasn't as concerned about whether the trip to Japan was free or not as much as Isabella was; she hadn't even finished traveling to all the places in her own country yet.
However, she was very interested in Qingge's brother.
First it was Tamamo, then Rose; their interactions with Qingge's brother always seemed mysterious. Tamamo is the heiress of a Japanese shrine, and Rose is the daughter of a listed company in Great Britain. What business connection could Qingge's brother possibly have with them?
Could it be that the Miss Qingge they usually joke about, the one from the Li's Cultural Group, is actually...?
"Well... I have no objection if you want to, but you'll be easily discovered if you do this."
Looking at Isabella and Mo tide, and Katya, who was nodding but not speaking and whose eyes were full of curiosity, Li Qingge hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Actually, after she told her roommates about the gold and asked Tamamo and Rose for help, there was no need to keep it a secret anymore. However, it's better to keep such things quiet than to make a fuss.
Although she investigated all the girls who appeared around her brother, she found that they were all very capable, and that any trouble they might encounter would be a minor matter for them.
I don't know what her brother did, but a silly girl actually came to his door.
If it weren't for her brother, she would definitely think this person was dreaming.
"We've never met your brother, so it shouldn't be."
Katya, the petite of the six, blinked.
"If you want to see my brother, then go ahead and try. Just don't say I told you to do it if he catches you."
Li Qingge shook her head helplessly. If it were just her brother, she certainly wouldn't be so confident. Her brother is quite careless at times and doesn't pay much attention to whether anyone is watching him when he's out.
But it's clear that his brother won't be the only one coming to discuss things with Rozutama and the others.
"Let's go grab a coffee together! I'm feeling a bit sleepy anyway, a coffee will help me wake up!"
Seeing that Qingge agreed to let them go, Isabella quickly said.
"Bella, you're probably just sleepy from eating too much. Will drinking coffee help?"
Rhodes and Tamamo-no-Mae Jinguji felt somewhat helpless when they saw Isabella and the others trying to get involved.
"It should work... right?"
Isabella scratched her head and chuckled.
She didn't know anything about this; she hadn't specifically researched it.
“My brother probably just finished eating not long ago, it will take him a while to get here, let’s go and wait for him.”
Seeing Isabella, with her blonde hair, laughing and chatting with Rhodes and the others, Li Qingge picked up her plate and stood up. Isabella and Tamamo-no-Mae also picked up their plates and left together.
I think my brother and they should get along well...
Li Qingge wasn't worried about the matters they were going to discuss later.
This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. If Rhodes didn't want to help, he would have refused outright. His desire to see his brother indicates a preference for cooperation. His brother isn't one to hold grudges, and both sides have been very cooperative. How could this not succeed?
..............
"Thank you, Master. This is the place."
Li Chaoge, along with Belfast, Ayaka Kamisato, and Nian, took a taxi to the coffee shop. After confirming the name of the shop was correct, they paid and got out of the car.
"Brother, over here."
As Li Chaoge pushed open the glass door and entered the store, Li Qingge, who had been watching the entrance, immediately stood up and waved to him from a distance.
Although Qingge's voice wasn't loud, her movements were quite obvious, and Li Chaoge and Belfast walked directly towards them.
It seems Qingge truly respects her brother.
Seeing Qingge, who was usually calm and collected with only a hint of cunning, suddenly become so enthusiastic, Rose nodded thoughtfully and then stood up with Tamamo, the priestess of the shrine, who was sitting next to Qingge.
Actually, she had met Qingge's brother once when school started. However, she had just entered university and turned 18, and had not yet inherited her father's group. Helping to handle gold was something she had never experienced before, so she wanted to be cautious.
"Hello, Qingge's brother. I am Rose Barrett. You can just call me Rose."
Hello, Brother Chao!
As Li Chaoge approached, Rhodes and the Divine Palace Master Tamamo quickly greeted him.
Hmm? Why does Tamamo call Asahi-nii (older brother)?
Rhodes looked at Tamamo Jinguji with a puzzled expression after hearing her call.
"Hello, I am Qingge's brother, Li Chaoge. You don't need to be so formal. I'm here today to ask for your help. I'm the one who needs your help."
Li Chaoge smiled as she looked at Qingge and her two beautiful roommates beside her.
Seeing their polite behavior, he knew that things were going well for him. His gold was of dubious origin; if they wanted to manipulate him to lower the price, they'd probably stay put.
"Everyone, please sit down first. There are still a few people next to you that I haven't introduced yet."
Li Qingge glanced at Belfast Nian and Kamisato Ayaka following behind Li Chaoge, a faint smile on her face, but inwardly she felt helpless.
My brother has a new girlfriend again...?
She initially had some reservations about her roommates. Jinguji Tamamo and Rose were both rich young ladies, Isabella was very lively and had a great figure, Katya was a gamer and shared common interests with her brother, and Mo Xi, although sometimes a bit of a straight man, was also a cool and cute girl.
She could accept either of them becoming her brother's girlfriend or her sister-in-law.
However, given her brother's current state, she was truly embarrassed to continue trying to set him up with her roommates.
"Okay, you've met Ayaka and Tamamo before, but this is the first time I've met Rhodes. This is Belfast, from Great Britain, just like you, Rhodes, and is..."
Li Chaoge sat down with them and introduced them to Aya and Nian from Belfast.
Both sides smiled and nodded at each other, secretly remembering each other.
Actually, not only Qingge, but even Jinguji Tamamo was a little surprised. Where did Qingge find so many beautiful girls? It seems like they come from every country.
"Hey, Brother Li, let's talk about today's events first."
After greeting him, Rhodes hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Brother Qingge's name is a bit difficult to pronounce; it's easy to overstep one's bounds."
"Rhodes can just call me Chaoge, or you can call me Brother Chaoge like Zaozao does."
Li Chaoge waved his hand. He wasn't too concerned about the gold. He would leave it to Ayaka Kamisato and Belfast to discuss later, while he would learn from them.
"Huh, is that what jujube is called?"
Rhodes looked at Tamamo Jinguji in surprise, thinking she had misheard.
"Ahem, is there anything wrong with me calling Qingge's brother Chao-ge? We're both younger than Chao-ge."
Jinguji Tamamo coughed softly, clenching her small fist near her mouth, and looked at Rhodes nonchalantly.
Actually, this was the first time she had called him "Brother Chao" in real life; before, she had always typed it on her phone. But how could she say that she was a little shy?
As long as she doesn't say anything, no one will know, which is embarrassing!
"No, no, well, then I'll call you Brother Chao too. Um... Brother Chao, you can just call me Luo Zi like Qing Ge and the others do."
Rhodes quickly shook his head, scratching the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.
She felt a little strange that a man she had just met called her "brother," as she was an only child and had never experienced having a brother before.
However, if everyone is shouting like that, it would seem a bit strange if she didn't join in.
"Well, I won't bother with any more pleasantries. Let's talk about business first."
“Okay, Brother Chao, the international gold price is relatively stable right now. Let’s talk about the specific amount and how Tamamo and I should divide it.”
“Miss Rhodes, our gold is of high purity and safe; it totals one ton…”
Seeing that they were getting down to business, Ayaka Kamisato and Belfast took over the conversation with Tamamo-no-Mae, the priestess of Rhodes.
In reality, both Jinguji Tamamo and Rhodes were freshmen who had just entered university and hadn't yet entered the workforce. It would be incredibly easy for them to trick each other into falling into a trap.
However, they don't need to do that. They just need some initial capital, and making appropriate concessions would be more efficient.
The sooner Belfast and Bronya get the funds, the sooner they can make money in the bald eagle's stock market.
Although the stock market does not generate real value, and some people make money while others lose money, for them, nothing is easier to make money than in the stock market.
Li Chaoge watched them discuss, listening while pondering what he would say if he were in their shoes.
Eloquence is actually quite important and is closely related to emotional intelligence, but his past part-time jobs rarely provided opportunities to develop it.
Nian, who was only suitable to be a bodyguard and not to participate in business negotiations, leaned almost against Li Chaoge. While holding Li Chaoge's hand, he looked at the three girls opposite him who were good-looking and had good figures. His eyes rolled around, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Nian turned her head to look at a booth not far away, where three heads were peeking out from the sofa and staring in their direction.
"Miss Qingge, do you know those three girls over there?"
Chapter 142. Master, are you interested in this child? (4,000 words)
"Uh......"
Seeing Nian suddenly staring at Isabella and the others, Li Qingge and Tamamo-no-Mae, who was talking about something, looked at each other awkwardly.
What did I say before? They were found out, as expected. Isabella and her two friends are so blunt! Just staring from a distance like that—any normal person would think they were being disrespectful!
"Since they know each other, let them come over."
Seeing Qingge and Rhodes Shrine Maiden Tamamo's reactions, Li Chaoge also realized that these must be Qingge's remaining three roommates.
They've come, so be it. He's not worried that they'll betray him because they know about the gold.
Was he afraid the government would discover the gold? Actually, he wasn't afraid. So what if it was discovered? Who would risk provoking a powerful enemy of unknown strength over such a trivial matter?
Let alone Kiana, Bronya, Mei, and the other Herrschers, they probably wouldn't even know how to block a single, powerful attack from a movie like Raiden.
He simply didn't want his current life to be disrupted so soon. Too much power can easily breed corruption, and he couldn't guarantee that he would maintain his current leisurely state of mind once he gained concrete power.
The best way is to stay away from the center of power and live a peaceful life with his second wives, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun.
He'll consider going to the second one after everyone has arrived.
As for now... he's not thinking about that for the time being.
After all, there's only one other person. Whose world should I go to first? I'll leave that question for my future self to ponder.
"Should I go and call them over? Have you finished discussing your business, Rhodes?"
Li Qingge stood up and looked hesitantly at Tamamo-no-Mae, the priestess of the Rose Shrine, and Belfast.
"Miss Qingge, go and call them over. We've finalized the main details. We'll have to deal with the rest once we've shipped the goods to Japan and Great Britain."
Belfast smiled and nodded at Li Qingge. Actually, they had almost finished discussing the gold. As for signing a contract... it was difficult to handle such a thing, since their gold was indeed of dubious origin.
She wasn't worried that the other party would renege on their promise; if they did, her B-38 triple 152mm main guns would be right on their foreheads.
Seeing this, Li Qingge went over to Isabella and the others. Although they had sensed something was wrong and had huddled up, it was too late to bury their heads in the sand.
Li Qingge exchanged a few words with the three women and then led the three, who looked embarrassed, over.
"Um, Qingge's brother, I'm Qingge's roommate, Moxi. I'm so sorry to bother you."
Approaching the table, Mo tide was the first to admit to her "peeping" behavior, scratching the back of her head sheepishly and laughing awkwardly.
